Adrienne’s P.O.V:

My eyes fluttered open as I rose from a very comfortable sleep only to find myself staring at an unfamiliar ceiling.

I sat up and tried to remember what happened the day before and when the answer finally made its way through my brain, I almost groaned aloud at the discovery.

Of course.

This apartment was my new abode for a few years- I hoped.

I yawned as I got up from the cozy bed and walked around to the window. Sliding the curtains away from the giant windows in my room, I found myself being greeted not by sunlight but by heavy clouds looming the sky that promised a shower one moment or the other.

Perfect.

Having my body temperature higher than mortals, this cold and harsh temperature suited me quite well. My eyes ran over all the humans who were up this early and found myself thinking about this particular race… craving to become one of these humans myself.

But, a wry chuckle made its way out of my mouth as I thought as to how I lost my chance at staying a human. And all of this had to happen just because one of them decided to come and work as a doctor at a hospital near my home. My fist clenched as I thought how that particular doctor took away someone I held most dear…

Oh well, that was a story to be told another day.

My eyes widened as they glanced at the calendar hanging in my room.

It said that today was Monday- which could only mean one thing.

School.

It is funny how even someone who has been alive for more than a century could feel annoyance just like the next door teenager at the idea of having to endure long hours of lecture in a torture chamber.

You would think staying alive for that long could have given me the experience, with which I could handle this,

But no.

I sighed as I looked at the clock- I had almost an hour to make myself presentable before I had to leave for my new school.

Although I had countless high school degrees piled up somewhere in one of the cartons resting in the living room for now, I found it would be easier to avoid suspicion and annoying questions if I got myself enrolled in a local school.

In half an hour, I was ready for my first day at Forks High School. I looked approvingly at my reflection, my midnight black hair shining as they caught the sunlight between them, my dark-grey eyes staring back at me through the mirror. I tugged a bit at my button up black shirt- a clear sign that I was nervous.  I shrugged off the nervousness and walked around my room, my heels making a clicking sound as they hit the floor. Wearing heels was a privilege werewolves did not possess. So I figured I could wear these while at school as I did not have to shift there—if no one got on my nerves, hopefully.

My stomach growled as I realized that I had not eaten anything since that disgusting excuse of pizza I had last night when I arrived here. Since I had just moved here barely hours ago, I did not have time to buy the grocery to make myself a fully fledged breakfast yet.

Oh well, what are fast food restaurants for anyway?

I was on the road earlier than planned as I had to buy myself a breakfast from McDonalds- though I could not eat a public place as much as I liked so I was getting VERY grumpy when I finally made it to Forks High in my red Chevrolet Camaro convertible 2LT.

I myself was not a show-off as some might think, it was just that earning money through my previous jobs as a Cardiologist in different countries, I saved up enough money to actually buy this car that I actually fell in love with the moment I saw it.

Ignoring the stares I was getting from passersby- mainly due to my car, I drove around the parking lot trying to find a vacant spot to park my car.

I parked beside a silver Volvo and got out only to stiffen beside my open car as my muscles tensed instinctively. The wind blew around wildly and I could smell a distinct sweet, almost sickening smell coming from the very nice ‘Volvo’. My nostrils flared as I realized that it belonged to a vampire or vampires.

You could imagine that my mood got even more irritable after this very discovery that I will study with vampires at this school.

So, when boys commented appreciatively about my car, I ‘hmphed’ and walked towards the sorry excuse of a school. Normally I would have chided myself and force myself to apologize to the blonde human but right now, I was too irritated to care.

My posture turned stiff as I tensed my muscles when I fresh wave of that sweet sickening scent made its way towards me, making me halt as I turned sharply only to have my eyes locked with a disturbingly beautiful gold ones.

The vampire was a female and was beautiful of course as it glared hatefully at me, its blond curls shining like gold in the sun, its beautiful face grimacing when my scent must have reached it. I smirked as its face grew into in to a sneer as I walked past it towards the office to collect my schedule.

This was going to be a long day.

It is just a start. Rate, review and comment. Tell me what you think of this story or whether I should continue or not.

Thanks a bunch for reading this.
