• 1. High School
    I complain about this day every year, the first day of school. You'd think I'd get use to it since I'm a junior. Wrong! I dread it every year and I just moved here so it's worse. I pleaded " Please! Don't make me do this . Come on dad don't make me do it. " I was unsucessful.
    " You're going and that's final, you can beg all you want but, you are still going. " He said in a stern voice.
    My mom died when i was nine, so my dad took care of me. My dad wanted me to go to high school no matter what. He always wanted me to get a good education since he didn't. My father Chris Mason was good friends with someone in forks and got him a job on the police force. We had just moved here from Carson City, Nevada. We moved here three weeks after high school began.
    Dad yelled from downstairs while I was in my room. " If you don't get down here and out the door you'll be late! " " I know. " I whined.
    I walked down the stairs with a worried expression.
    " Calm down Dani it's just school plus, it will be more embarassing if you're late on the first day. " He said that as we walked out the door looking at his watch.

    2. New classmates
    I walked into the office only to be greeted by an over-excited red-haired woman. Who I assumed worked here do to her professional outfit. She said, " Hello are you Danielle Mason (tee hee the irony edward anthoney mason cullen) ." " It's Dani and how did you know my name? " I said looking puzzled. " No offense but, you don't look like any of the other kids in Forks, and I haven't seen you before."
    Just great the lady thinks I look weird. " Er ... thanks I think." I replied feeling embarassed.
    I made it to all my classes without getting lost until lunch. The time which I most feared. There was no place to sit, I looked stupid looking for a seat. Until a girl with brown hair called me over " Why don't you sit with us." I said. There she sat with one of the most gorgeous students I had ever seen. She said to me " Hi I'm Bella Swan and this is Edward, Edward Cullen."
    " Pleased to meet you." Edward said in a voice that could send your heart through your cheast. " Hello I'm Dani Mason." I thought to myself maybe I'll be good friends with them, I liked them already, they were kind. As I was thinking Edward cocked his head to the side and gave me a weird look. I would have asked him what is wrong but, he left the lunch room quickly, Bella struggling behind him. Then I noticed everyone was staring at me. Embarassed, I left the cafeteria ever so quickly. A girl with black hair, pulled into a neat ponytail came up behind me and spoke. " Hi there, you must be Danielle, I'm Angela Weber." Apparently every freaking person knew me name. " It is Dani and I'm not going to ask how you know my name, I know i look different from everyone else." Me, wearing my pair of old jeans, beat-up sneakers and a graphic tee.
    The only thing that made me different was my long black hair down to my lower back, when in a ponytail, my light brown skin, and my body was really small, I was really short and had round hips, and skinny legs
    " That and you are walking alone" She told me, Angela was very kind as well. Finally one of the slowest days ever came to an end.

    3. Edward Cullen
    I had just broke out of my sleep dazed, and irritated. I hated waking up in Forks. Instead of waking up to the alarm, a burst of light shines on my face from the window. First thing I head for is the shower, I needed one to relax my body because it was so tense from staying still to long. Then, I brushed my teeth and put my clothes on. Like always dad was already gone and like always put a pop-tart in the toaster for me before he was gone. I had a few minutes before it was time to go so I stared out the window.
    Then, something caught my eye, there was something white in the forest. But, it wasn't something but, someone. I used my father's binoculars to get a closer look. It was the boy from school Edward Cullen, I was sure that was his face. He was just standing there then, he took one step and turned into a blurr he was moving impossibly fast. I could not believe how fast he moved, I used my journal and wrote it all down in case I thought I was dreaming. The weekend endedand it was Monday mourning. Something else weird happened Monday. I dropped my book, I bent down to pick it up at the same time. Our hands touched.his hand was icy cold it almost stung. He flinched away very quickly. After that I began noticing other things, One is he always had purple rings under his eyes like he wasn't getting enough sleep. He was also very pale and his eyes changed colors from time to time like gold to black. Also he would never be in school on sunny days, they say he and his family go "camping".
    It was all begining to add up, my friend had told me of people like Edward. They called these people the "damned ones". Also known as vampires but , I didn't believe her til' now. Once I was sure Iwas going to confront Edward about his dark, little secret.

    4. Reality or Myth?
    It's been a month since school started. As I thought Bella, Edward and I became good friends. Tthough Edward kept his distance when I was near. After school I called my best friend Tamie in Nevada. She spoke with an excited voice, " OMG! Dani Imiss you so much, so hows it going?" " Fine I made two good friends, one is Bella Swan and the other is Edward Cullen," I said.
    " Are they nice, is Edward cute?"
    I told her, " Bella is nice and fun to talk too, Edward is strange but, more than cute, he is hot!"
    I asked her, " I have some questions about the vampire thing."
    " Why?" She replied.
    " I think they might be real but, I'm not sure."
    Her voice got serious, " Is there someone you suspect?"
    " Yeah." I said
    " Describe them." She said
    " Well, they have pale skin, cold touch, their eyes change color, and they're always gone on sunny days." I told her everything.
    " I'm coming to visit actually, I'm going to come live down there." She said
    I said, " What! But, there is no place for you to stay."
    " I'll stay with my mom, remember my parents are divorced and my mom lives down in Forks."
    " Oh yeah. Er... well I guess I'll see you soon. Bye."
    The next day there Tamie stood outside my house. I greeted her with a big hug.
    " It's so good to see you, I was so bored without you." I told her.
    " Me too." She spoke
    Her eyes were unreadable when she said, " Now show me who you think is a vampire."
    " Alright." I said and then we left for school.
    When we got there I introduced her to Bella and Edward. Then, when we walked into the cafeteria I told her I thought it was Edward. She thought about it then said, " You're right he is a vampire."
    Then, Edward walked into the cafeteria with Bella. As he passed us his head snapped towards us quickly. Tamie stiffened then said, " Some vampires have powers, he might have one because, once I thought of him as a vampire he looked at me instantly."
    Edward avoided Tamie all day which I thought was rude. How could a vampire be so cold and I wasn't talking about his touch.
    I was finally able to get a hold of Edward. " Edward I need to speak to you after school if you don't mind." I said.
    As Edward spoke his eyes were cold and hard, he said, " Fine but, make it quick, I don't have a lot of time."
    It was the last class of the day, biology. My lab partner was Tamie. Two lab tables away was Edward and Bella. That got me thinking so I asked Tamie something.
    " Hey Tamie can I ask you something."
    " Go ahead, shoot." She said
    " I was wondering how do you know so much about vampires." I whispered
    As soon as I said that Edward whipped his head around, and stared dead blank at me. He was so far away yet he heard me. Tamie and I froze in the middle of our conversation. I was hoping to start small talk with Tamie after Edward turned. "My grandmother was very superstitious, she showed me drawings and actual pictures." She said
    " Oh." I gasped quietly
    Then Jessica leaned over and tapped me on the shoulder and said, " Is this your friend Tamie Johnson, she seems similar to you."
    " Yeah. Tamie, Jessica, Jessica, Tamie."
    " Nice to meet you." Tamie spoke softly.
    The only thing that Tamie and I had in common was our skin color, light brown. Tamie wore t-shirts and old jeans like me. She had short brown hair with long bangs on both sides of her face. The bangs went to her elbow while the rest went to her chin. She was two inches taller than me it's so unfair!
    Class finally ended and Edward was leaning against the wall waiting for me with Bella. Tamie had to leave early but, she told me to be careful. We walked to Edward's car, he offered me a ride home.
    " Okay Edward let me get to the point, you listen too Bella." I said quickly through my teeth nervously.
    " Alright what is it you want Dani." Edward said.
    " I may sound crazy but, I know it has to be true." I told them.
    " Just spit it out already Dani." Bella said.
    " I think Edward is a... is a vampire alright I said it."
    " How did you you know." Bella said.
    Edward scolded her, " Dammit Bella! All it would take was a little persuastion to make her think something else but, I can't read her mind like you."
    " Opps sorry Edward." She said apologetic.
    " So it's true you are a vampire!" I said astonished.
    " Yes but, you can tell no one."
    " I won't I swear." I promised
    Wow! Edward was really a vampire. This can't really be happening right now. Geez! This will be one crazy year if I survive.
