Twilight: A New Story

Chapter 1

I slowly trudged to school. It was another miserable day in Forks. Nothing exciting ever happened in Forks, especially as no one knew that a pack of werewolves and a coven of vampires were living there.

The Quileute tribe lived in the reservation on the other side of Forks. Some of them were actually a pack of shape shifters who turned into wolves and were a vampires natural enemy so that was rather interesting. We had agreed to a treaty with them some time ago. They keep to their territory, we keep to ours and we don't kill humans. Simple.

Unlike my 'brothers and sisters', I actually socialised with the humans. I had a few good friends but my best friends were called Melanie and Jensen. Jensen was tall with short brown hair and green eyes and Melanie was also quite tall with brown hair and blue eyes. Admittedly, Jensen was half Quileute, but neither of us cared. His grandmother had warned him about us Cullens, but we survive. I know there is a chance he will be a shapeshifter, and then he may hate me, but he's not sixteen yet. Another year to go until we find out.

I am acting fifteen at the moment, a year older than I actually am. We have decided that I'll get on better being that age, and I look at least eighteen, so it'll be fine. I turn 'sixteen' in a few months, and Jensen a few months after me. Then we'll find out.

Oh, of course, I still need to describe myself. How silly of me. I am also reasonably tall with short brown hair and really golden eyes. I am pale with shadows under my eyes, as all vampires are, and I always wear skinny jeans, oversized jumpers and converse.

'Hey! Have a good summer?' asked Jensen, running towards me.

'Nothing special! What about you?' I asked him.

'Amazing! Melanie and I went to Orlando to Universal Studios! Sorry that you couldn't come!' he said.

'Nah, it's fine! Too sunny for me!' I said, grinning.

Jensen laughed and Melanie ran towards us.

'Come on! We need to hurry, we have music first thing and we're going to be late!' yelled Melanie.

Our music teacher wouldn't be mad at me anyway, if we were late. I was his musical muse. I could do no wrong.

Fortunately, we were on time though. We were working on the guitars today, which was my favourite instrument. I had been playing since I was about two hundred. Wow, that sounded weird.

We started to play the song 'All About You' by McFly and managed reasonably well. People must have been practising.

When we were let out for lunch I headed straight for the table that my brothers and sisters were at. Edward seemed to be concentrating on Bella, the new girl, but no one took any notice. He was probably just reading her thoughts. I decided to listen in to the conversation between Bella and her new friend, Jessica.

'Who are they?' asked Bella, signalling towards us.

'The Cullens. They are these really weird kids, adopted by Dr and Mrs Cullen. Actually, I think the youngest one is Dr Cullen's real daughter. Anyway, they moved here a few years ago and they don't speak to anyone. The only one who speaks to people is the youngest one, Molly. They are like, together together,' said Jessica, 'The blonde haired one is Rosalie, she is with Emmett, the dark haired one. The small one is Alice, she is really weird, and she is with Jasper, the one who looks like he's in pain.'

'Who is the bronze haired one?' asked Bella.

'That's Edward Cullen. Don't waste your time, no one here is good enough for him,' said Jessica, 'Dr Cullen is a father/matchmaker.'

'He could adopt me any day,' said Angela, joining the conversation.

At that comment, I snorted with laughter and everyone at their table looked at me. It must have been loud. Bella frowned then looked back at everyone else.
