I dug my spoon through the rich peppermint flavored ice cream,savoring the taste in my mouth.It was heavenly.Peppermint gave such a fresh,stinging taste that lasted for minutes and the tiny chocolate bits helped with sweetness. I inspected the ice cream tub. Hale's Classic Scoops.

Sometimes I like to kid myself that my father,Jonathan,is really the founder of Hale's Classic Scoops.That he earns millions of dollars each year and we live in this HUGE mansion.And that I drive my dream car,a glossy red BMW M3.

But who am I kidding?Dad's far from rich.In fact,he's the opposite.That's why I went to stay with my mom,Caroline,in Forks,Washington.The company dad worked for got bankrupt because of this stupid scheme dad and some of his business associates worked out.

We had to sell everything.Our family SUV,the house,and move into this stinky apartment with pee in the lifts.And I had to give up my position in Steinfield Academy.Because dad had no money to keep up with its fees.I went to an ordinary public high school instead,caught the big yellow bus to get there,and suffered as a loner for three months.

You'd think I was happy as anything when dad announced I would be moving in with mom and away from that life.No,I wasn't.I didn't have to complain.I could have dealt with the freaking apartment.The stink in the lifts.The lack of private transportation.But I couldn't bear living away from dad.

Sure he could be a dumb blonde at times.What with that business scheme which wrecked our lives and everyone else's who worked at the damn company.But he was my dad.He was the one who stood up for me always.He took care of me when no one else would.He even divorced mom so he could have me.

It's a long story,how dad and I got to be a family of two.I'll tell it sometime,I promise.But right now I have to face the present.You see,I'm Rosalie Hale."Dad,please,please,please,and a zillion pleases after that,let me come home.I don't want to go to Forks.You know what happened the last time I was with mom."

Tears ran down dad's pale cheeks. "Rose,how can I forget that incident with your mom?I know she doesn't deserve you,but neither do I.She can provide better for you,honey.Its...Its just for the meantime,I promise." I frowned at him. "You also know what happens when you make promises."

He laughed. "Yes.Yes,I tend to break them,don't I?I'm sorry,princess.So sorry." "Daaaaad," I groaned. He was using my most despised pet name. "I'm sorry,sweetie.No calling you princess,got it." We shared a meaningful look.The last time somebody called me that,the word was a sneer.

Dad's head perked up when we heard the airport announcement. "You better go,Rose.Go on.We'll keep in touch,yeah?Love you." I sniffed and tucked my tissue in my pocket. I placed my hand on dad's face. "Don't do anything stupid,okay?Like borrowing money from loan sharks.Say you won't do it." "I won't do it,Rose.Now you have to go." "Kay.Love you."

I kissed his cheek and went off on the ride to my doom.

This is like Twilight with Rosalie in Bella's place.Except I altered some of it so there'd be a new twist.Warning:Non canon pairing.

My seat was in economy class,right next to this really cute boy wearing a hoodie over a black t-shirt and baggy jeans.I think he was trying to pull off an emo sort of look,but his warm,chocolatey brown eyes and impish grin wouldn't allow it.He was about my age and had thick dark curls and a very deep dimple on either side of his face.

"Hi,I'm Henry.Henry Delaney," he greeted,face solemn but eyes bright.I smiled at him,sitting down and buckling on my seat belt. "Rosalie Hale." He scanned my face for a while,looking deep into my eyes. "You on a visit to Seattle?" I shook my head. "Uh-uh.I'm moving,actually,to this small town."

"Ah," said Henry. "I'm moving too,staying with my gran.My dad's in Canada or something and my mom needs some space.That's why she sent me off.What's your story?" He grinned,leaning back relaxingly. I shrugged. "Dad can't provide for kid,so kid has to go to mom who doesn't even want kid.The end."

"Well,it sounds similar to mine," Henry commented. We spent the next few hours chatting as if we'd been friends for years.Neither of us fell asleep. Seemed like I'd found myself a new best friend. When the plane was about to land,we exchanged phone numbers and buckled our seat belts.

"I have this flying phobia," said Henry,gripping the arms of his seat tightly. I threw him a reassuring smile and ooooofffff we went.It was a rough landing,I felt as though there were giant rocks beneath us. I said goodbye to Henry after collecting my luggage and started looking for mom.

Shit.How could I not have known this would happen?Mom was nowhere to be found.I spent almost two hours looking for her,such a waste of time. I even called her cellphone but she didn't pick up. In the end I gave up.I was forced to use up all my spare cash on a ridiculously long and expensive cab ride to Forks.Damn my mother.I couldn't count on her at all.Never could.

"Mom!" I slammed my fist against the front door,banging like my life depended on it. "Open up!" I couldn't care less if the neighbors could hear or anything,the important thing was that mom heard.The door swung open and I almost fell in. "No need for all that commotion.Get inside and take your crap with you too," mom snapped in a sharp tone.

She had a voice almost as pretty as her face,too bad her personality wasn't as great. "Yeah hi mom,yes the flight was awesome,they gave peanuts and everything plus wow I'm so glad you decided to pick me up!" I nattered sarcastically in a mock cheerful tone.Mom positively growled at me.

"You need to adjust the attitude,girl.I was busy,ok?No time to come get my precious daughter.I'm terribly sorry." I definitely noted the sarcasm. I rolled my eyes. "Whatever." She narrowed her eyes at me. "You seem a lot different,Rosalie.Have you been taking pills?" I shook my head.

"Plastic surgery?" I widened my eyes at her incredulously. "Nope." I let my lips pop at the 'p' . "Oh I know...something in the personality that changed," mom drawled lazily. "Maybe I've actually grown a backbone since the last time we met,mommy dearest." I smiled sweetly as she frowned.

"Sanitize your hands,won't ya." She left me to find my bedroom by myself. Sanitize my hands.Right. Mom's got obsessive-compulsive disorder.She can't stand germs. She won't let anyone touch her and she won't use stuff like public drinking fountains and washrooms.It annoys me.Everything about her annoys me.The same way I annoy her.

So you can see that Rose and her mom don't get along at all.There are plenty of reasons as to why.Next post will be first day of schoooool! Warning once more: Non canon pairings.So don't be disappointed!Hope you enjoyed! :)

The alarm clock rang,dragging me out of the darkness. Strange that I never dreamed anymore. I used to dream every night.Then,it just stopped. All there was in my sleep was pitch black and the comfort of a bed.I let myself drop to the ground,landing on my stomach.I groaned,slamming my hand down on the alarm clock so the wretched noise would stop.

First day of school.Whoop de doo.I just picked out an ordinary looking dark purple v-necked sweater and a pair of khakis,slipping my feet into my tennis shoes.I could smell bacon sizzling downstairs.Damn.I'd hoped she wouldn't be awake.

"Morning,Rose.How was your night?" mom asked cheerfully as I entered the kitchen. I narrowed my eyes at her,trying to work out if she was being sarcastic or not. Nobody should have to do that with their mom.But I did.

"It was...fine." I grabbed a glass and poured apple juice into it,sipping carefully and avoiding mom's gaze. "Come get your breakfast,Rosie.I know you like bacon and baked beans." I stared at her suspiciously. "O...kay."

Was my mom a bipolar or something? After I finished eating,she switched moods and yelled at me to move my fat ass or I'd be late for school. "And wash the dishes!I can't do everything by myself!Who do you think I am,wonder woman?" she screeched.

I frowned at her. "Don't you dare think you can live here like a lodger.You do your fair share of house chores,young lady!" she continued rambling. I wished she would shut up. When her face started getting red,I grabbed my jacket and rushed out,slamming the door behind me.

There was only one car,a Mercury Couger which I hated. I drove that to school,it was a good ride despite its old fashion design. I parked amongst the other students,none of them had really fancy cars either. They stared at me as I walked to the main office.

I used to be flattered whenever someone looked at me with that much admiration and envy.I have a beautiful face,as dad does and I take after him completely.But after all that had happened in the past,beauty wasn't a part of me that I appreciated. I did enjoy my good sense of direction,though.

I found my locker in no time,did the number combination and dumped my new textbooks inside. "Um,hi." I turned to see a shy looking boy with cropped black hair in a combat outfit. "Hello." "You must be new,right?I'm Lloyd Barnes." "Rosalie Hale." I shook his hand.

Lloyd walked me to class,which was History.I handed my slip for the teacher to sign before taking a seat at the back.Lloyd sat at the front,so I was once again surrounded by unfamiliar faces.I heard someone slip into the seat next to me.

It was a girl,freakishly pale with dark hair arranged in a spiky do.I could see she had great fashion sense,but what really caught my attention was her incredibly beautiful features.She was perfect.Flawless.Her cheekbones were sharp and angular,her nose this dainty,small thing,her lips lusciously shaped and the exact pink of a rose.

She returned my gaze and I noticed her unnaturally golden irises.They were bright butterscotch,a pair of amber jewels. I smiled at her and averted my eyes,focusing on the teacher instead.For the entire lesson,I could feel her studying me.I avoided from looking at her again,it was just too awkward.

By lunchtime,everybody was whispering and gossiping about the 'new girl'. No one bothered approaching me,they were too engrossed in watching from a distance.Lloyd remained friendly,but he had his own group of friends.I got my lunch tray and found a table I could sit at,alone.

All over again.Suffer in loneliness.Hmph.Life wasn't especially good to me. The table across from mine was occupied by a group of students unlike the rest.The girl from History was there,along with three others.They were as stunningly perfect and lovely as she was.

One boy who caught my eye was sitting nearest to me.He could've passed for twenty,and I realized we had a similar resemblance. The structure of his face was almost exactly like mine,and his hair was the same honey blonde. The boy sitting beside him had toffee brown hair and was dressed all in white,his arm was around the girl from History.

I didn't fail to observe how white they all were,and the shade of their eyes matched the girl's.The one with red hair,almost like bronze,stared back at me.I raised an eyebrow at him.Didn't anybody tell him it was rude to stare? His lips twitched into a smile,I had no idea why,the others at his table weren't speaking.

"Hey,Rosalie." I jumped.Lloyd was right next to me.I hadn't seen him. "I noticed you're sitting at the table nearest to the Cullens.Brrrrr." His teeth chattered like it was cold. "You shouldn't,you know.Nobody sits near to them." I frowned at him. "Um,I sat next to one of them in History." He gasped.

"WHAT?Who was it?" "I don't know,it was the girl." "Oh,Alice Cullen." he whispered the name. Then he smiled. "Their all a bunch of freaks,though the girls get crazy over Emmett,Jasper and Edward.Edward's the redhead,Jasper's the blonde and Emmett's the brunette.Emmett and Alice are an item,you know.Which is weird cuz they all live together.

"Their adopted by Dr Cullen and Mrs Cullen." "And...you're telling me because?" The redhead named Edward smirked. I really had to call him Edweirdo.He let out a chuckle.See?Laughing at nothing.Edweirdo. Lloyd looked shocked. "Rosalie,you have to understand,its important to know who the Cullens are.In case you come across them or something.The best way to deal with that kind of situation is to ignore them.Got it?"

I laughed. "Lloyd,you might have something wrong with your brain.Did your friends implant something that gives you freakphobia?Because,trust me,there are plenty of freakier freaks you have yet to meet." He threw me an insane look. "Never mind,Rosalie,you might not believe me now but you'll see." "Please,its not like their vampires or something.Though they definitely look it." The Cullens' eyes widened.

Lloyd shrugged. "Yeah,you're right.No such thing as vampires." He smiled goofily and sauntered off.I sighed.Could my day get any worse?

I walked into biology,scanning the classroom for an empty spot. "So you're Rosalie Hale," said the teacher,Mr Laurence as he signed my slip. "You'll have to sit at the back as the class is full." I followed the direction he pointed to. Yes!The table was unoccupied so I got to work alone.No idiots bothering me with their lack of scientific knowledge.

Then the chair beside me was pulled back.Ugh.Guess I had a partner after all. I turned my head a little to see who it was.I didn't recognize her. "Hi," I greeted as she eyed me meekly. "Hey,are you new here?" she asked. "Yep.Just moved.Rosalie Hale." "I'm Bella Swan.Isabella,but I prefer Bella."

She smiled. She was a plain Jane,but her smile made her look prettier and less emo.We didn't talk much,just mainly listened to Mr Laurence,though I found out that Bella moved here from Arizona when she was a junior and she was the police chief's kid.She reminded me of my best friend Vera back in Rochester,but Vera wasn't that softspoken.

School was almost done,I had just one more lesson.Art.I had to walk through the school parking lot to get to the building where the art room was.A few other students were headed there too,I just followed inconspicuously like any other kid.Then there was a screeching of tires and from the corner of my eye I noticed a truck coming my way.

I heard a girl scream as she was knocked down,but the truck didn't stop.I ran out of its way but it followed me.Finally I was trapped between it and a Volkswagen.I shut my eyes tight and prayed I at least would get to keep all four of my limbs,but the truck stopped right in front of my nose.

Half a centimetre more and it would probably have hit my face. "Oh.My.God." I stood up and climbed over the hood to get out of the cramped space I'd been crouching in a moment earlier. "Rosalie!Rosalie,are you okay!" Lloyd shrieked frantically. "Yeah,yeah,almost got smashed but otherwise I'm fine," I replied.

The Cullens were staring at me as if I were a mental patient.Alice Cullen flitted up to me. "Are you alright?" she asked in a sweet,concerned voice. "Um,yes I'm fine." Lloyd looked at Alice and I incredulously. "Almost got smashed but fine," he corrected. I laughed. "Yeah,that's right."

When she went back to the other Cullens,Lloyd turned to stare at me with a look that said, 'Wtf' ? I shrugged. There was still the one girl who'd gotten knocked down,plus the driver with cuts all over his face. An ambulance arrived and they were both taken to the hospital.

"I can't believe you nearly got hit and you're so calm about it," Lloyd observed. "Well I've been through worse," I replied,though he wasn't paying attention anymore.

Wow.Car accident on my first day of school.One lucky girl,wasn't I?Note the sarcasm. Finally,after an hour of boring painting,I got into mom's Mercury and drove home.

"How was your day,Rose?" mom questioned while watching the tv.At least she acted normal when watching tv,none of her bipolar moods,though she didn't pay attention to her surroundings either. "It was great,mom,I almost got knocked down by a truck but it was great," I replied. "That's nice," said mom.See?What'd I tell you?I could be a serial killer come to get her and she wouldn't even notice.

Author's note
Are you surprised?It's neither Edward nor Jasper in biology.It's Bella!Btw,the girl who got knocked down was her. And there's gonna be a lot of involvement with the Cullen family and Bella but only Rose will know of the fact that their vampires. :)

"Rosalie!ROSALIE!" Sheesh.Couldn't I at least get one moment of peace? ONE MOMENT. "There's someone here to see you!" "Tell whoever it is to go the f**k away!" "Mind your language!It's Lloyd from school!" I groaned silently. "Coming!"

I ran down the stairs where Lloyd and mom were standing in awkward postures. "Oh hey,Lloyd.What're you doing here?" "I,uh,just wanted to see if you're ok.And to pass the news." "What news?" "Firstly,are you ok?" "Yeah,I'm fine." "Good.I was hoping you didn't get a concussion or anything." "You only get concussions when you're hit really hard,Lloyd." "Oh.Right.I knew that."

"So what did you want to tell me?" Lloyd immediately animated. "Hey,did you hear,Bella Swan,your bio partner,got knocked down by Tyler's truck!" "Whoa,whoa,slow down." And they say women gossip,golly.(haha line from 'shall we dance') "Well,the guy who owned that truck,Tyler Crowley..." he paused for dramatic effect.

"He knocked down Bella Swan.Y'know,the police chief's daughter,she's also your biology partner." "Uh-huh,you don't have to speak to me like I'm retarded." "Sorry.Anyway,were you even paying attention?Bella Swan is in the hospital now,in a coma!!!" My eyes widened. "What?But...When will she be out?"

"No one knows.She might die,actually.We have to see.Chief Swan's really pissed off now.The only reason he didn't sue Tyler for everything he had was because the chief knew Mr and Mrs Crowley and didn't want to cause them trouble.If Bella was my daughter,I WOULD sue them no matter what." Lloyd laughed nervously. "Oh..." I'd just met Bella and already she was fading from my life.

"That could've been you," said Lloyd. "I know." "So what did your mom say when you told her you almost got hit?" "She said that it was nice." "WHAT?!" "She wasn't paying attention to me." "Um...." Lloyd looked unsure.Probably discovered I was much more of a freak than he thought I was,huh. "Uh,take care.Bye.Remember to lock the doors tonight in case of any thieves." He waggled his fingers at me and rushed out the door.

"Who was that?" asked mom. I sighed. "Friend from school." "Just a friend?" "No,not anymore." "Not friends anymore?" "I don't know,mom.It depends whether he figures I'm a loser or not.Whatever." Mom cackled bitterly. "Well if he does figure it out,I'll have to say that boy has brains." I scowled at her. "Not my fault it was in your genes." "Touche."

I went to sleep that night thinking about mom calling me a loser. Maybe she was right.I don't know.

"Wake up,Rosalie." Huh? "Dad?" "No,its mom." The voice changed into a feminine one.I opened my eyes to see mom's flawless,fair face and her large bright eyes.Her hair was so dark it was almost black,brushing against my face since she was leaning towards me. "G-gah!What time is it?"

She thrust my clock at me. "4.30?!You woke me up at 4.30?!!!" I tossed the clock onto the floor and tried to go back to sleep. "Do you know..." mom started. "That you sleepwalk?" "I don't sleepwalk," I muttered. "But you do.Just an hour ago I found you standing in the kitchen with your eyes closed.Then you went back here."

My eyelids snapped open.
