Chapter One: Start of the Year

Bella POV

Another year at Jefferson High…I thought as I drove up to the school in my Ferrari. I wonder what kind of students will show up this year. Who knows?

The school was familiar to me after working here for two years. I'll have to resign after this year-I still look 19, and I'm going to be barely passing for 21. I sighed. The worst thing about being a vampire wasn't that I didn't have my soul, it was just I had to move often and I wouldn't be able to make lasting friendships because they would eventually notice how I don't age. I glanced down on my daily planner. Room 219. Why can't they just let you stay in one room and not move on a year to year basis?

As I pulled into the familiar faculty parking area, I noticed a few kids standing to the side of the building, smoking something that looked like cigarettes. I walked, more like glided, over to them and faced them with my hands on my hips and a glare on my face.

"Excuse me, boys, but what do you think you're doing?" The boy who looked like the leader of the group sauntered over and drawled, "Nothing Miss. Swan. We're just having some fun." The rest of the boys cackled. "Listen up boys. You and I both know that there is no smoking allowed on school property. Now pick yourselves up and march right to the principles office." I sent death glares at them to prove my point. After muttering profanities mostly directed at me, they trudged towards the general direction of the principle's office. I dusted my hands off and returned to my car for my book bag.

Room 219 was filled with all my belongings that I had moved from my old room last year. The file cabinet, my desk, shelves around the room, posters, and lots and lots of books. Neatly arranged on my desk was my collection of ballpoint pens and pencils.

I glanced at the clock. Only five minutes left before first period. Better organize my papers. After I had set all the necessary items on my desk for the first day, I sat back down on my chair and listened to the first bell ring.

When the first students started filing through the door, I closed my eyes and thought, here comes another year…

Edward POV

"I don't see the point to this," I grumbled to Alice. After leaving Bella, I found it hard to see the point in anything. "Don't be a party pooper Edward! It'll be nice-we haven't been in school for 10 years! Its time we go back to the days of education experience." I rolled my eyes at her.

Alice frowned slightly when she looked at me. I knew it was because of how I looked. I could see myself in her head. My eyes were lifeless, my mouth was in a permanent frown, and my face was always paler then the normal vampiric pale. This isn't healthy, Edward. You did this for Bella. Be strong, for her. I nodded, my thoughts still far away.

Edward, man, you've got stalkers behind you. Stupid Emmett. I didn't even bother to look behind me to see who it was. I didn't even listen to their thoughts. Just have to make it through this day, then I can go back and stare at my wall…

I rarely did anything other than just sitting in my room, blasting music on my stereo and staring at the wall. Without Bella, I didn't feel the need to do anything, not without her. Once or twice a day, I would pull out a picture of us Alice had taken in the meadow and just stare at it, trying to remember the days when we were together. I wonder where she is now, who she is with…maybe she even has children. The thought of her with another made me angry and frustrated with myself for leaving her.

Jasper stuck a piece of in front of my face. I took it warily, feeling confused. Jasper must have felt my confusion, because suddenly calm waves swept over me. "It's your schedule." I shrugged and turned away.

American Studies. Oh joy…Quickly, I searched the minds of the people around me, finding out where the room was. I got there early, and the teacher wasn't there yet. Pulling out my schedule, I quickly memorized it.

American Studies, Calculus, Biology, AP Chemistry, Lunch, Gym, Personal Ed, Literature and Arts.

The rest of the day passed in a daze. I went to the classes, picked up the homework, read the textbook. Finally, there was one period left. Literature and Arts. I rolled my eyes. I wondered how interesting this was going to be-I've probably read every single book that was needed for the subject already.

As I entered the room, I smelled a scent of freesia. I froze. It couldn't be Bella, could it? I noticed that the teacher wasn't in the room yet, so I went to sit down at the back row. The tardy bell rang and seeing that the teacher wasn't in the room, everyone started talking. I noticed a few girls winking at me, but I ignored them and stared at the wall.

"Sorry class! I had to run out to get a few papers." I swear I heard my heat pounding. That voice…It could only be my Bella. Focusing my eyes on the front desk, I saw her.

My Bella.
