A/N: This is the first chapter of my first fanfic... please give it a shot...

Disclaimer: I don't own anything except the plot and random characters. If I own them, I wouldn't be writing fan fiction, I would be publishing Breaking Dawn!

You may wonder how I ended like this...

How me, Isabella Marie Swan . Miss Independent ended up making out in secret with Edward Anthony Mason . Forks High’s Player of the Year, to be rather exact somebody I swear to hate all my life since I first arrive to this little town in the 5th grade. Don't get me wrong we're gathering ONLY for making out purposes, NOTHING more... do you wonder how I ended like this? What could turn "Miss Independent" in a person that could do what I'm doing right now? Don't worry I'm still Miss Independent; I still control my own life and this situation...

Maybe I should start from the beginning...

Flashback

The last day of school before winter break...

A chilly December morning, but not just a regular morning, it's the last morning I have to come to this purgatory called High School during 2007, that's right, when I return

to this place it would be 2008... In fact I am not coming back to Forks until 2008 either.

I am going to L.A. for winter break; Charlie didn't mind that I pass the holiday with my mother, her husband Phil and my two step-siblings Samantha & Allison. (A/N: In this story, Phil is older than Renée and a widower he has two twin daughters that are the same age as Bella). I like to go visit them. It allows me to show the other side of me.

You see, here at Forks, specifically Forks High School, Bella Swan is an 16-year-old sophomore, that is ONLY known for being shy and quiet…In fact here at school I only have a few friends, okay 4. No I don’t mean 4 best friends, though they are my best friends… I ONLY have 4 friends…and they’re the only ones at Forks who have seen the other side of me, the wild side of Bella Swan. That’s the Bella Swan that comes out every time I go to L.A.

I finally arrive to school… I saw Alice and Angela (two of my previous mentioned amount of friends) waving me so I started walking towards her.

Alice Cullen was my first friend here at Forks. Since the first day we’ve been the best of best friends. Alice’s father is the best surgeon in Forks. There is no one who hadn’t heard of Carlisle Cullen’s “miracle” surgeries. Alice’s mom is the best home decorator I have ever known in my short life. Alice was a sophomore like me, while her older brother, Emmett was a junior. Alice and Emmett have the most funny brother-sister relationship ever. I have grown and turn out to be friend Emmett as well as Emmett’s best friend Jasper Hale. Alice have befriend Jasper in a different way, they were dating.

Jasper however had a twin sister, Rosalie. She was very pretty with light blue eyes, blonde hair and a super-model body, any boy in Forks wanted to date her. She, being a junior, was currently dating a sophomore, Edward Mason.

A junior dating a sophomore would be news if they weren’t Edward Mason and Rosalie Hale. Edward is the Forks High’s Player of the Year. He has dated almost all the school including the older girls. Because of the existence of boys like him is the reason I don’t date. In my case dating is a lost cause. I’m totally plain, though my friends try to contradict me.

After meeting Alice at the entrance, I went to my classes. The day turned out uneventful. Then the last class of the day: Government. One word to describe this class: Boring. Not to mention I was seeing something nauseating. I forgot to mention Edward Mason takes this class with me… ugh! I hate him! Right now in the middle of class he is making out with some girl, Jessica I think is her name… though I don’t really care. If you’re wondering, yes he is cheating on Rosalie, though she knows this pretty well and don’t care about it. Perhaps it is because she’s cheating on him with someone in the football team cough-Emmett!-cough. I don’t know why Emmett is with her, he says she is really nice outside school. Probably that is why nobody outside me and my friends know about that relationship, Rosalie has to maintain her reign in Forks High. Emmett is really weird in that aspect. He doesn’t mind that she treats him like crap at school; he says she makes it up for him after. That’s creepy. I don’t see why they (Edward and Rosalie) didn’t break-up. Maybe it’s just a popular thing. I don’t really care about it.

Mr. Banner, the teacher started giving us our last tests. I usually do pretty well at school. I am at the top of my class in all the subjects, this being the only exception. When I received my paper I was very disappointed, I have gotten an A-. Ugh!

“Don’t worry. I will make it up for you. I will do some charity for you and make out with you after class…” I turned around to see the egocentric smirk of Edward who was spying my work. I was going to say something but Mr. Banner appeared and handed him a grade. He got an A ! How in the world did he get that grade! Oh right! Mr. Banner shows preferences, even though I pay attention to every single class and complete every single assignment that is given, Edward that does nothing and doesn’t even know the significance of the word Government gets all A’s. Why? Because he is the son of Edward Mason, the great lawyer, and he can’t get that grades in a subject like government. I quickly got out of the classroom, not without tripping in my way.

“You’re such a klutz, it clearly shows that you’re retarded” He said. Gah! I can’t stand him! Did he just say I was a mental person?

“You know what Mason, go to hell!” I said as I ran away from school.

The next thing I knew I was in Port Angeles Airport taking flight 2824 to Los Angeles. The flight was relatively short.

Then I arrived. Fun Bella had her way. I was having so much fun! Finally the last day of the 2007 arrived. My step-sisters had a surprise for me. We were going to a New Year’s Eve Party. And that wasn’t all it was a costume party. To my disgrace I went shopping. Finally I end up wearing a beige dress with a black ribbon at waist height and a mask. (A/N: Picture of dress on profile)

We arrive at the party at 10pm, all was going normally. I was having a lot of fun. Dancing and talking with other people in masks. At 11:45pm the hostess made an announcement.

“My guests, its an honor to have you all here and to tell you that it’s fifteen minutes till midnight and the year 2008! Enjoy the last few minutes of the 2007!” She was about to go when she suddenly said “Oh! I almost forgot! It’s a tradition on New Years Eve to ring in the year with a kiss, so everybody grab your special someone and ring the 2008!”

What did she just say? I have to ‘ring’ the New Year with a kiss but with whom?

“Come on Bells, you are going to miss this experience.” Allison said to me. I just realize my two step-siblings were standing next to me.

“I don’t have anyone to ‘ring’ the New Year with.” I was clearly telling the truth, not to mention I’m a terrible liar.

“That’s easy to solve, I will find you someone” Allison always trying to help. She suddenly disappeared in the mass of people.

“No, it’s okay. I don’t need to do that.” Do I?

“Of course you do. What kind of L.A. party would it be if you don’t kiss a random guy at midnight” I swear sometimes Sam can be so weird. I raised an eyebrow. Suddenly Allison appeared of nowhere with a completely random guy. She started walking in my direction looking all bossy like. Oh crap! This is going to be bad.

“Listen Bells and listen carefully. I found this guy and he was alone. So you will be with him. Who knows, perhaps you will like him.” She talked so sure of herself.

“I’m guessing I don’t have a choice here, right?” I said in defeated. Allison just nodded.

“Oh and please Bells, don’t screw it up this time. You know what, don’t talk to him until after the kiss” What did she just said?

“Do I have to kiss him? No way, I’m so not doing it!” I replied

“Okay if BORING OLD Bella doesn’t want to show her fun side…” ugh! I hate when they do that. Why in the world did I tell them about the Forks’ Bella, oh yes, because they’re my sisters (kinda).

“Okay, fine I would do it” my voice sounded defeated.

“Okay then bye. Come on Sam let’s give them some privacy” I started to walk indirection to the stranger in the black tux. He greeted me without speaking.

“Ladies and Gentlemen this is the last song that you will hear in the 2007” The DJ announced and a song started… The stranger offered me his hand and we started to dance…

What day is it? And in what month?

This clock never seemed so alive

I can't keep up and I can't back down

I've been losing so much time

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to lose

And it's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

All of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right

I'm tripping on words

You've got my head spinning

I don't know where to go from here

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to prove

And it's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

There's something about you now

I can't quite figure out

Everything she does is beautiful

Everything she does is right

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to lose

And it's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

and me and all of the people with nothing to do

Nothing to prove

And it's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

What day is it?

And in what month?

This clock never seemed so alive

“Alright ladies and gentleman we’re starting the count down…10” Oh my gosh! I don’t even know him!

“9…” What am I doing?

“8…” What the crap?

“7…” Who is he?

“6…” Huh?

“5…” Poop!

“4…” What did I just think?

“3…” Nevermind…I think I have seen those eyes somewhere...

“2…” Why am I standing here?

“1…” Where am I? Who am I?

“0… Happy New Year!!!” Suddenly the stranger’s lips touch mine. It was very gentle at first, but then it started going more passionately. I put my arms around his neck and he put his around my waist. We just stay there kissing, though I think snuggling is a better word to describe it. Out of nowhere he broke the kiss and grabbed my wrist taking me outside.

Once we were outside I realize that I really want to know this guy. He is a great kisser. I hope he doesn’t have a girlfriend. Sure he doesn’t have one, because he should be with her right now. I wonder if I should move in with my mom to know him better or is he in college because then-

“That was awesome; I think we should take off our masks and get to know each other better.” The stranger said. I know that voice. Oh my god! Why me? Could it be possible, I mean I am miles away from Forks. “Excuse me? Are you listening to me?” he said. I know that voice. No it couldn’t be him. I was too confused to answer so I just nodded. He spoke again.

“Okay in the count of three we take off our masks alright” I nodded again.

“One… Two…and Three” I pulled my mask away from my face. He slowly pulled off his mask and opened his eyes. Shock and realization spread upon his emerald green eyes.

“I-Is-Isabe-Isabella?” He stuttered.

“Crap! Why me!” Of all the world population I happened to cross with Edward Mason. He seemed to recovered from the shock and stare at me.

“What?” I said annoyed.

“It’s just that I thought you would be a bad kisser and it turns out you’re a pretty good one” What the crap did he just said. “Oh and you look so beautiful that it makes me want to kiss you again… Fuck! Did I just say that out loud?”

“Yes you did” I to my own surprise, blushed. I quickly changed the subject. “So what do we do with this?”

“Um…well… I don’t really know… Oh! Here’s the deal. I will tell no one about this if you promise to make out with me frequently” What did he just said?

“Okay while no one knows about it, this would be our secret” I said.

“Wanna sealed with a kiss?” He smirked.

End of Flashback

That’s how I ended like this. I’ve been getting use to it. Okay I admit it, Edward is a great kisser. However I don’t have grown feelings towards him at all. At least I think so. No one has figured it out yet. We normally kiss at Port Angeles’s Mall or at Edward’s house when his parents are not home. We have a deal and that’s the way it goes. Today we were in his house. He finally broke out the kiss.

“That one was pretty long” I said

“Uh-huh” He said. “Um… Bella may I tell you something?”

He started calling me Bella or Iz after the first week. I was bothered to being referred as Isabella. At school he still calls me ‘Swan’ or ‘Isabella’. I nodded.

“Just promise me you will not get mad and stop seeing me” Huh? What is he going to tell me?

“Okay… now spit it out!” I replied. I was eager to know what he is going to tell me.

“It’s that- um… well… Iz I think I love you” What?? I think I just lost the control on this situation…
