Chapter 1

First Day of Junior Year

BELLA POV

"Thanks for the ride, you know how my truck works, getting all moody on the first day of class", I sighed. I took off my helmet and climb down from his Ducati.

"No problem Bells, anytime! And oh, you owe me lunch", he grinned as he locked the chain on the railings.

We started walking across the still almost empty school parking lot since there's still 30 more minutes before all the first subject classes start. Jasper always like to get on the campus early.

And welcome to Forks High School, supposed-to-be-Home of the Spartans, but now, all I could say is Ruled by the Bitches and Lead by the Man whores. It's as if this isn't anymore a place for learning but already a place where you wear your micro mini skirt so you could brag your Victoria Secret lingerie, as if the guys would care about your underwear, they would care more when you're naked anyway. I'm not bitter much, am I?

Sorry, I'm Isabella Swan a.k.a. "Bella". Straight A student, school publication literary editor, and for the eyes of the skanks, I'm less than an average. Ever since I refuse to join their group when I was freshman, they started treating me rudely, but I can manage, they could never lay a hand on me, they know I fight back, and I play dirty too.

We went to get our schedules and surely, we have every class together, except for Biology and Gym. Jasper pouted as he discovered the fact, we hate being in a class away from each other, we're like the security blanket of each.

Oh, and he's Jasper Whitlock, my ever so loving best friend. He's another brainy kid. He's the president of the Computer Club and he's a programming whiz. We've been best friends since middle school. He moved to Forks, particularly beside my house a couple of years ago.

We met and got along very well with each other, our passion with studies building the relationship. We even tried to date for a couple of weeks way back in freshman year, before it even became a month, we realized that what we had for each other are just like siblings and nothing more than friendship or family. So, we pretty much get back on being just best friends and stayed single from then on.

We went inside our first classroom and there were already a couple of students seated at the back row. We settled for the chairs on the aisle of the second row, Jasper on my left and me on the aisle so we could focus our attention to our teacher. I realized we have tons of time to spare so I started a conversation.

"So Mr. Whitlock, how's your vacation?" I smug, knowing he probably just spend the day in front of his laptop while everyone is playing on the beach.

"By the look on your face, I think I know what you're thinking" he sighed and bit his lip, holding back a laughter.

"Oh no! I'm not thinking about you sunbathing with your nose in front of your computer mister!" I couldn't help but laugh already.

"As much as I wanted to deny the fact, I'm afraid you're right" he chuckled.

I'm getting to suppress more on the subject, but my eyes darted toward the door and notice a small or should I say tiny, pixie-like girl walk in. Her hair is black, short and arranged in beautiful spikes. She's so charming and she walks gracefully, like she's dancing. I noticed Jasper looking right her his mouth gape. I mentally giggled on how he looked. I've never seen him so attracted to anyone, and I'm guessing this year would be a blast for my best friend. I'm so happy for him.

My eyes averted back to the door and there stood a man who for the first time in my whole teenage life literally made my jaw drop. He was smirking as he lean into the doorframe, his arms crossed over his chest. He's wearing a black straight cut pants, white unbuttoned polo shirt, revealing a white tight t-shirt underneath.

I moved to shift my gaze to his bronze hair in a beautiful disarray. His smirking lips, so kissable. I've never kissed anyone, never wanted to... until now. What is wrong with me?

And his eyes, Oh those green sparkling eyes! I could lose myself for hours staring at them and I would never ask for more in my entire life. Stare. Damnit I'm staring at him! Thankfully, he was intently watching the pixie girl bounce her way to, oh my gosh! In our direction. Hurry Bella, quit staring! You'll embarrass yourself.

And too soon, I found myself looking at the tiny girl, instead of the amazingly green eyes. I immediately frowned when I realized he was obviously with her. The girl, stopped walking beside me as she smiled at me and continued to get inside our row, settling her petite body on the left side of Jasper. She smiled sweetly at him and she also gave me a wave. Who is she? And as if she could read my mind...

"Hi! My name is Alice! Alice Cullen!" Wow, she's very cheerful and I find myself smiling at her and her blue eyes as she introduced herself to Jasper and I. Seriously?

"Hi... I'm... I'm... J-Jasper... W-Whitlock... Nice to... meet... you." Is this even true? Jasper Whitlock stuttered? Oh boy, he got it bad for this girl.

But what about that guy? They don't look alike, they couldn't be just siblings? And oh my, if she sat here, then? As soon as I realized that, I look up and found his back at me. Sitting on the chair in front of me. First row, aisle. I almost lost myself again.

"And you are?" the pretty voice called. Oh was she talking to me?

"I'm Isabella Swan. But just call me Bella please" I handed my hand out for her to shake, and she did.

Wow, she's pretty friendly. And now where were I before... I looked up and found those green eyes again staring intently... at me.

"Oh, and he's my half brother Edward" she explained as this guy in front of me and I stare at each other.

Why is he doing this to me? Wait did she just call him as her "half bother"? Oh. Oh! I found myself smiling. He must've thought I'm being nice, because, luckily for me, he smiled back. And all too soon, I was already staring at the back of his head instead. Those hair. Sigh.

I look beside me and noticed Alice and Jasper on a light conversation and I figured out not to bother anymore. I smiled inside and thought a good luck to Jasper. I sighed. Good thing for my best friend. I grabbed my pen and started doodling while I let my imagination flew.

After another 5 minutes or so. Mr. Nelson walked in for our homeroom. He let the Cullens introduced themselves in front of the class and wish us to treat them nice. Apparently, they just moved in the town not more than a week ago since their father will be a permanent doctor in the town hospital.

Since it's the first day, Mr. Nelson did not gave us much of any work and dismissed the class 10 minutes early. Jasper and Alice are inseparable already as we walked out from the classroom to our new assigned lockers.

"Hey Bella! I noticed most of Jasper and I's classes were on the same rooms, and he told me that you have almost the same schedule as well, I hope you don't mind us hanging out with you." She pouted. How cute! How can anyone ever resist that pout?

"Of course Alice! We'll be happy if you join us", just then, a realization hit me. "Did you just say 'us'?", I asked, making sure.

"Well, yes. My brother Edward and I, is that fine?" she asked worriedly.

"Sure! I'm sorry, I was just..." and then I noticed him walking behind me. My cheeks started heating up probably from embarrassment. I must've looked like an idiot.

"That would be great! I could tell we would all get along so well" Alice clapped her hands once.

We reached our lockers. Edward's on the most right part, followed by me. Then Alice's on my left. Jasper's below Alice's. Edward's on the most right part, followed by me? What the?!

"Great we're neighbours!" Jasper chuckled.

We finished our business just as soon as the bell rang. My next class is Biology and I'm not with Jasper or Alice for that matter. I excused myself from them so I wouldn't be late for my next class.

I started walking forward on the opposite direction and past Edward and I felt his quick pace to reach my side.

"You haven't talked to me a single word yet" he smiled as he leaned so I could hear him. I smiled at the ground.

"Well, you haven't either" I felt the blood run through my cheeks.

"Shy much, are we?" I could still hear his smile from his words. My cheeks felt a shade darker.

I continued walking and caught myself on my own foot. I braced myself for my impact on the ground, but instead, steady, warm hands caught my waist instead. I quickly shifted to return on my normal upright position, and as it came to me that I just embarrassed myself in front of this guy, I immediately blushed. He chuckled.

"So, where's your next class?" he asked. I looked at him and blushed harder.

"Um, Biology with Mr. Varner?" I answered, more of a question anyway.

"Well, classmate, will you let me walk you into our next class?" he smirk. How sexy.

We reached our room just in time as Mr. Varner arrived. We found one empty table at the back and settled there. I spend the whole class looking at him frequently and looking down before he caught me. Is Bella crushing on someone? Uh uh. I don't think so. He's just, new to look at, I guess?

Third period is pretty much the same, but Jasper and Alice joined us already. It's amazing how the time went by so fast. And before I knew it, it was already fourth period. One of the two classes I don't have with Edward. My mood suddenly changes.

Next thing I knew, I was standing at the line with Alice and Jasper. I ordered Coke for my lack of appetite, eager to see Edward again. We sat on Jasper and I's usual seat while we waited for Alice's brother. Suddenly, a huge, and I mean really huge grinning guy appeared in front of us and sat on our table.

"There you are!" Alice exclaimed.

"Um..." Jasper started and I waited for an introduction.

"Emmett, this is Jasper and Bella, my friends" she said pointing at us. Wow, friends.

"Jasper, Bella, this is Emmett, my eldest brother, he's a senior." Oh that explains his unexpected behaviour. I giggled as I saw how tiny Alice is and how huge Emmett is and they're siblings? Really?

Just then, Edward walked into the door, and disturbed my thought process. I can't get enough of that gorgeous smirk. What is happening to me? And surprise surprise! Jessica and Tanya walking behind him. I sighed. Of course he would attract the bitches, he sure is one of a kind. A stabbing pain hit my chest as I thought of Edward with the school skanks and I realized that I am no match for the blondes on the campus. Wait 'til he sees Rosalie Hale. Way to go Bella, you had a fine start anyway, better luck next time, girl.

"Bella, are you okay?" Jasper asked worriedly as he took in my gloomy face.

"Huh what? Yes, I'm fine, just lost on my own thoughts again" I answered. Jasper looked at the direction I'm looking and I saw his lips turn down a little.

"Oh, the sluts. I see the cause of your distress". Oh Jasper, there was more than just the bitches, it's the bitches with Edward! Why, oh why!

Emmett and Alice turned their heads also. I caught Alice's mouth turned to big "o", and Emmett looked back at me, he smirked.

"I see Bella has a thing for my younger brother." I was shocked at Emmett's straight assurance and I get myself to deny as fast as I can.

"Of course not! I'm not interested at him at all. It's just that I'm worried about him hanging out with those girls" I winced as I used the term "girls", they are so not just girls to me.

"Oh really sister? The way you look at him, I don't think it's just concern. You can lie to yourself, but not to Emmett" he stated a matter of fact. Could I really like Edward? As in like like?

Edward started walking towards our table, and this may sound cliché but the time he spent walking towards our table, it's as if everything went into slow motion. I stared at him, my mouth gape like an idiot. When he was about to sit down on the chair beside me. I heard a whistle and a familiar voice called out across the table.

"Hey Cullen, why don't you sit with us today?"I grimaced. Mike Newton.

"Excuse me. I'll catch up to you guys later" Edward said, to us. I sighed.

Of course Edward will sit with the "hotties" though I'm sure he's the only hot one there. Edward walked towards the "popular" table (more like "The Bitches and The Man whores" table for me) with Jessica, Tanya, Lauren, Mike, Tyler and James. Well, so much for my "nice" first day of junior year.

"Whoa. I don't like the looks of those guys" Emmett shuddered.

"Who does?" Jasper said.

"I concur!" I just think I needed to say what's on my mind too.

"By the way, do you guys know who's in charge for the football team?" Emmett asked suddenly. I should've known, his built is surely because of his passion for sports.

"Yeah sure, it's Coach Clapp, I think he's in my gym for the next period, you could join me, if you like" I offered. It's not normal, but suddenly I feel very comfortable with the Cullens, two of them at least.

I keep glancing at the "popular" table to see how Edward is doing. He seems to enjoy their company though, and I made my decision to stay as far from him as possible from now on. As far as I'm concerned, those people sitting on that table are no good for me, and they don't make me life any easier, in fact, it's the other way around. So as much as it hurts me, I'm keeping a safe distance from Mr. Edward Cullen from now on. I opened my Coke and took a quick gulp as I heard Emmett.

"Holy crow! Who is that chic?!" I look behind me to see who is he looking at and saw the goddess herself, Rosalie Hale.

"Rosalie Hale." Jasper answered calmly.

"She's hot!" Emmett stated the obvious.

"Obviously. She's the prettiest girl in this school. She's sort of nice unlike the others", I explained to him.

"And I'll make her mine". I was shocked at Emmett's declaration.

"Are you sure what you are talking about?" I asked. Alice giggled.

"You still don't know Emmett very much well Bella. It's not impossible for him, you'll see" she winked at me.

We watched her as she headed towards the "popular" table. And suddenly my eyes shifted to Edward. Oh Bella, not again?! I closed my eyes and let my head turn back to our table.

Lunch ended devastatingly and Emmett followed me walking behind me chanting on himself "I'm gonna make her mine, I'm gonna make her mine, I'm gonna make her mine" over and over again. I rolled my eyes, gladly he couldn't see.

"You got it bad, boy" I giggled.

"Sure as hell did, sister!" he said. What a nice endearment. I smiled.

We reached gym and I introduced him to Coach Clapp and I left to change. I situated myself on the back part of the crowd and sat down on the cold gym floor. Gym is never my favourite class, not with my ability to trip over absolutely nothing or in simple term, my clumsiness. I fall down a lot, especially in gym.

I sighed, bored since the class isn't starting yet and noticed a person is actually standing beside me and this eerie, uneasy feeling began creeping into me. I smelled the perfume, and I am 100% sure that it was James. That explains my uncomfortable feeling. He was never well known for his self preservation. And from my peripheral view, I saw him looking in my direction.

I looked up and saw Coach Clapp in front talking to Emmett. Emmett is actually glaring in my direction with a certain anger painted over his face, I doubt if he even heard what Coach Clapp said. My heart suddenly thumping hard. What did I do? I don't really like imagining irritating this big guy. The bitches I can handle, I'm not sure about him though.

I felt my eyes swell up as water started forming in my eyes. And I couldn't help myself but to mouth out "What?" to him. He suddenly looked alarmed and mouthed "not you" back. He shifted his eyes to my right. And I understand that he was actually glaring at James. But, why? Then I remembered him saying he does not like the looks of them.

James leaned on me about to say something and placed his left hand on the top of the back of my right hand. I stiffened at the contact.

A/N: Whether you like it or not I still thank you for reading the first chapter. So, this is my first fan fiction. *sigh* I'm doing this so I could beta. Fan fiction forced me, so don't hate me. *laughs* Feel free to tell me what you think. Love me, hate me, but don't lie to me (John Lapus). I know it's not yet that interesting. I'm more of a reader anyway. He he. Review or not, I still thank you.
