Chapter 1-First Encounter
Bella POV
It was raining, of course. I wondered if I would ever see the sun again. The sun never shines on the small town of Forks, which was by the way in the middle of nowhere. I sighed and tried to focus on the white board without much success. It was my first day of school here and I didn't want to mess it up by not being attentive. Its just I knew all this already; I had learnt it all in Phoenix and it was doubly boring now. Oh well, at least there was someone to fantasize about, Edward Cullen. I had seen him only once but that was enough. Edward Cullen. I knew it was pointless, if not stupidity, to fantasize about someone you have only seen once, at a distance, never talked to and you have never even met. But that one second when our gazes had met in the Forks High School cafeteria I nearly had a stroke, he was so beautiful with his reddish-brown hair and handsome physique.
'Stupid' I told myself.
I knew that he was so far out of my league that I shouldn't even be able to see him.
'Stupid' I told myself again.
At that moment the bell rang for the end of class.
'Oops' I thought sheepishly.
I hadn't paid any attention to the teacher throughout that whole lesson. I was determined to pay more attention in the next lesson, whatever it was.
Edward POV
I had heard it in every mind in every class. Bella Swan this, Bella Swan that. To be quite truthful, my family and I were the only ones who didn't care about the addition to Forks High School's minuscule population. I hated school, but in a way it was an escape, a time to pretend to be something I'm not but something I wish I was. All my family felt the same way except for my sister Alice; she was completely comfortable with what she was. But that was probably due to the fact that she couldn't remember a single detail about her human life. No matter how hard she concentrated, she could never remember anything, but Alice was never bothered by this, she was simply happy to have a family and a life in which she could have fun. I knew all this and more because I could hear her, not in the literal sense with sound, but with my mind. I could hear every single students mind, every student's thoughts. Jessica Stanley was thinking about how cool she was and how brave everyone must think her for talking to the new girl Bella Swan. Mike Newton was analysing Bella's every movement. Eric Yorkie was wondering how best to introduce himself to Bella and Tyler Crowley was wondering how Bella would like his hair if he got it cut. Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella. I tried harder to block out the constant babble about Bella and other such things that held absolutely no interest. The bell rang loudly overhead, signalling for me that there was only to classes left of the day and I would be free to go home with my family. I got up smoothly and walked out the door before any of the other students were finished collecting their books.
Bella POV
I had biology next so that was a relief. I am good at biology so paying attention isn't much of a priority but I still wanted to as if paying attention in biology was going to make up for my inattentiveness in my last class. I walked carefully beside a bubbly girl who had introduced herself as Jessica. I was being so careful because, well, I have balance issues. No, not issues as such because to have balance issues you have to have balance. I had absolutely no balance and I wasn't exaggerating. I could find at least three things to trip over on a flat piece of ground that was nothing but concrete. And running, don't even go there unless you want to see what a concussion looked like. Anyway, I was walking to biology with Jess chattering away beside me, she seemed proud of herself for making conversation with me and I was grateful. I managed to make to biology with out so much of a trip.
'It's a miracle' I thought to myself dryly then stopped dead in the door way.
I tore my gaze off the absurdly handsome figure in the middle of the class room to find an open space that didn't have a god next to it. There was none, so it looked like I was to be sitting next to Edward Cullen for the rest of the year.
Please, please, please review!! If you do I will post the next chapter!!
