Caught Between Love and Hate

Bella's POV

I pulled my red mustang into the Forks High school parking lot. It was my first day at the school. Normally I didn't start at a new school in the middle of the year, but I was growing board of my old school and needed a change.

After parking my car, I went inside the building and to the office. I was met by a woman behind the desk.

"Can I help you?" the woman asked.

"Hi, I'm Isabella Swan. I'm new," I told the woman. That was me. Well, sort of. I went by
Bella and my last name was not really Swan. I hadn't gone by my real last name in decades. It would be too suspicious. It wouldn't do well for a person to keep appearing with the same name for seventy years and never age.

See, I am a vampire and have been since the 1930s. I was attacked by a vampire after running away from the orphanage I'd lived since I was eight and my father was killed. I barely managed to escape the encounter with my life. Well, so to speak anyway. I guess technically I wasn't alive, but I wasn't totally dead either.

I wasn't as surprised as one might think by the attack. I'd encountered a vampire before. In fact, I'd watched it murder my father. I didn't know then that it was a vampire, but I knew that it wasn't natural or human. So I wasn't too shocked when I learned what I was.

I was finally brought back to the present by the woman handing me a schedule. I took the offered item, thanked her, and walked away.

I looked at my schedule and saw that I had advance Calculus first, which was actually a grade ahead of where I should be. I was an average student when I was alive, but I'd had seventy years worth of practice to become above average.

After some minimal difficulty, I found my class and walked inside. As soon as I got there, I caught a scent. A scent that was very distinguishable. It was that of vampires. I searched the room with my eyes and stopped on two students, one sitting just in front of the other.

The first one I saw was a tall man with blond hair who had several scars on his body. The second was a beautiful girl with long blond hair who seemed to like glaring at everyone. It was them. They were the other vampires.

It honestly shocked me. I'd never heard of any other vampire attending high school. It also worried me. Every other vampire I ever came across was a human drinker. See, I wasn't. I survived off animal blood. I could never bring myself to take a human life because of what I saw happen to my father. I doubted these two had any such qualms. They were most likely human drinkers, and if that was the case, everyone in this school was at risk.

I was pulled from my thoughts by the teacher speaking to me. "Isabella Swan, I presume?"

I finally pulled away from the two vampires and towards the human instructor. "Uh, yes, sir, that's me."

"Okay, good, I was expecting you. Have a seat in back," he said as he pointed to an empty seat at the back of the room.

I quickly did as he was told and sat down.

"Alright, open your text books to page sixty-four." The teacher said.

I took out my book and turned to said page, all the while stealing glances at the two vampires.

Jasper's POV

I walked with Rosalie to our Calculus class and sat down in my assigned seat. As usual Rose sat in front back of me. It was a pretty normal day for us. That was until the new student walked in. We had been expecting the new girl. It was all anyone talked about for weeks. Very little happened in Forks, so when something like a new student was mentioned, it went all around school.

What I wasn't expecting was that the new girl would be a vampire. I smelled it all over her the second she walked in. She was like Rose and me.

"Jasper," Rose whispered to me in tone that only I could here. It was obvious that she noticed as well.

"I know, Rose. I see her. I can't get a look at her eyes though." Her eyes would tell me definitively if she drank from humans. I didn't really expect otherwise. There were very few vegetarians in the world. In fact, aside from the Denali coven, I hadn't met another.

"Do you honestly think she's anything but a human drinker?" Rose asked skeptically.

"It doesn't really matter at the moment. We can't do anything about it now," I told her. Confronting the nomad here would be pure suicide. They would be exposed be subject to a visit from the Volturi.

I decided to get a message to Edward. He was close enough to hear my thoughts and could get to Alice and Emmett faster than we could. 'Edward, I need you to meet Rose and me outside our Calculus class. With have a situation in the form of a new vampire student.' I just hoped nothing exciting would happen between now and then.

After class, I immediately rushed out. I knew the two vampires would follow me. I wanted them to. We needed to chat somewhere humans weren't around

About halfway towards the exit, I realized that the vampire sent had intensified. There were more of them. I wasn't sure how many more because my back was turned to them, but definitely more than one. It didn't change anything though. I still had to get them away from the students. I couldn't take the risk of them getting hurt if it was in my power to stop it.

I led them all out of the building and towards the parking lot. I got all the way out to my car before finally turning around to face them. There were the two from class, plus a small black haired girl and a large bare like guy. It was the bronze haired one that interested me the most though. I had seen his face before. On the monster that murdered my father.
