I am trying a new story for now. The name might change in the future. Need some more motivation. Read on!

Epov:

November. One of the most tiring months of the year. I may have gotten into the swing of things with school, but it didn't make me weep for summer. I missed reading a book in my meadow. I missed the sun on my arms when I would go outside. This didn't change things though. I knew the importance of school. It was key for my future. I had always invisioned big things happening in my future. Though I wasn't sure of that yet.

I was lying on top of my bed staring at the ceiling. I was all dressed and ready to go to school. All I needed to do was to wait for my mom to finish breakfast.

"Edward, darling. Come down for breakfast or your eggs will get cold."

Speak of the devil.

I paused my inner monologue to go eat food before I had to leave for school. I walked down our spiral staircase that led to the main level hallway. I made my way to the kitchen and sat down on the stool by the breakfast bar next to my younger sister, Alice. She had short, black hair that was longer on the top and short on the sides. She liked to keep up with the new trends.

"Edward do you know that there is gonna be a new student coming today? I think she's the chief's daughter." My mother always liked to keep up with Fork's small town gossip. I never really was one for gossip. I was a guy.

"Yeah. So?"

"I don't know. I thought that maybe you could show her around. Be a friend. Lord knows you needed one when you moved here. But anyway, do good on that test you have today. I am expecting you to pass with flying colours! I have to head to work now, so don't be late. I'll see you both later after school."

I thought about what my mother said while I ate my breakfast and made my way to school. My family and I had moved from Chicago to the little town of Forks when I was about twelve years old. I was new so I didn't know anybody. A shy boy with wavy blond hair and light blue eyes sat down by me at lunch. His name was Jasper. That was five years ago and we have been friends ever since.

I finished my food, packed my things, and headed to my car. I started the engine and it clanked to life. My parents didn't have the money to buy me a car, so I saved up my money and bought a beat up Corolla.

Alice and I got to school and parked into our usual parking space. Alice ran over to her group of friends that were already walking into the school. I could see Jasper and my other friend, Emmett leaning up against their car waving me over to them. I got out and walked over to them.

"Hey man. What's up?"

"Not much. Just another day at school. I do have a test today in biology though." I was kind of a geek when it came to science. I loved chemical equations, rock formations, plant life. Stuff like that.

"Man I don't understand how you like that stuff. The teacher always finds me asleep on my desk during class."

"Maybe I actually enjoy the class, Emmet. I can always help you if you need it."

"Thanks. I really need it!"

We all started to walk towards the school when a police car pulled up to the loading lane by the school entrance. The car parked parked and a girl with long brown hair got out of the passenger side door. The police chief, Charlie Swan, opened his door and got out.

"Bella! Bella, I can get the door for you."

"Dad, I'm not inept. I can open a door and get out by myself. Nothing is going to happen."

"Bella, I worry about you. I couldn't live with myself if something happened to you."

Her father seemed a little overbearing. I mean they teach people to live with disabilities like that and they live just fine.

Bella's father told her to wait there while he parked the car. The man got into the car and drove off to park leaving the blind girl alone. She looked around, but I really knew that she wasn't seeing anything.

Her father came back walking pretty fast. Like she was going to disappear. He held onto her elbow as they walked into the school.

As this was happening, my friends were idly chatting about jobs they wanted to get. Having girlfriends means your always out of money.

"Hey guys, I'll catch up with you later. Ok?"

"Yeah man. See yah later in class."

I slung my backpack over my shoulder and stepped through the front doors. I knew this was the girl my mom said to help out with for a while. She seemed nice enough. I would have to get to know her a little more.

Bpov:

My dad and I walked together to the office of the school. He held my elbow like a small child that needed to be watched over carefully. I was blind not a delinquent.

I heard him open a door and slightly push me through. He followed after.

"Hello. I'm chief Swan. This is my daughter, Bella. She is starting school today. I sent in the paperwork already."

"Right. Miss Swan I have your schedule here for you."

She sounded like a nice lady. Without seeing her face I really couldn't tell.

"Oh. I forgot to mention she is blind. She can't read the paper. Is there anyway we can get it into Braille for her?"

"I'm sorry we would have to specially send for it to be made. And that could take a few days. Why not have another student have the honors of helping her to her classes."

"I guess that is fine. But what happens when her teacher gives out homework? What is she to do then?"

"The school is on a budget. We can't find space in it to get a Braille machine for her."

"That's crazy. I'll pay for it myself if that's what it takes. I want my daughter to get the same education as anybody else. Not some second hand one that is given from other people helping her with every little thing that can already be helped. Who do I write the check out to?"

My father sounded really angry. He was a little defensive of me. I couldn't blame him though. It would be really hard to do my homework if I had to have him write down the answers or someone else. Braille machines weren't cheap either. I knew my dad didn't have a lot of money. As a cop of a small town he didn't earn much. He lived on one income so he was living on a budget.

As his argument went on with the lady at the desk I sat in a chair that I felt out in the corner. I made myself look small unconsciously. I didn't like to be a burden. I was listening to my surroundings and heard the door open.

"Mrs. Cope? I'm looking for Bella Swan. Do you know her schedule?"

"Why would you be looking for bella?"

"My mother told me about her coming to the school and that I should show her around for a while."

This boy's voice was deep and gravely. It made my heart stutter. I didn't know a person to affect me like that.

"I'm Bella."

I stood up as I said this, still keeping a hand on the chair arm so I didn't fall down. I felt like I was going to fall down any second.

'Wow' I heard the boy whisper. It made my cheeks get heated. The room settled into silence. The silence made me feel uncomfortable because the effect of no sound and no sight was crippling.

Then after a minute or two or maybe even one hundred someone cleared their throat.

"Oh, sorry. I'm Edward Cullen. I can take you to your classes."

"Bella Swan. It's a pleasure to meet you."

I walked closer and he then grabbed my hand and shook it. I almost fell limp. The feeling of his hand around mine was nothing I could describe. It was like a feeling of completeness, feeling of being whole. The world was at right.

Again the room fell silent and the only thing I could feel was our hands continuing to shake in a greeting, though I think we both didn't want it to end.

"Well it looks like you have Lit Comp first. It's in building two. Let's go."

"Are you going to be okay Bella?"

I could tell my dad was trying to hold it together. He was really protective of me. He had a hard time of letting things go. He knew I liked to be a little independent, but it can be hard with my situation.

"I'm good."

And with that I walked with Edward out the door and into the first day of my new life.

I would like some suggestions for titles for this story. The person who comes up with one that I want as the title will get a preview of the next chapter! Review please!
