I do not own anything. Stephenie Meyer owns all of the characters.

Please don't go too harsh on me. This is my first ever FanFic.

Chapter 1:
Bella.

The noise around me was overwhelming. Teenagers catching up on holiday gossip, squealing and running to friends they hadn't seen over the holidays. I hated the first day of school. Always have and always will. I didn't quite fit in with the kids my age but that didn't worry me though.

It was my 2nd year of high school in Forks. I'd moved here so that my mum could go travelling with her new husband, Phil. Charlie, my dad, welcomed me with open arms, which I was thankful for. School was only a five minute walk to the road from my house. The rainy weather didn't bother me as I walked to school today.

Walking down the corridors at school; I was off in my own little world. Wondering what was in stall for me this year at school. Would I still ace my classes like I did last year? Would I have the same friends half way through the year? The answers to those questions were pretty obvious. I was the shy type of person who didn't like socialising much. Last year, the group I was in consisted of Angela, Jessica, Lauren, Mike, Eric, Tyler and Ben, and I was hoping I'd still be in their group this year. Angela and I had caught up over the holidays. It was easy to talk to Angela, in a way I could tell her everything because she was the only one I trusted in my group. It was like that for her too, she trusted me with anything. Last year she had a bit of a crush on Ben and I was the only one she told. I told her to go for, try and flirt with Ben a bit and see what his reaction was. Sure enough, when we caught up over the holidays I found out that they were boyfriend/girlfriend. I was ecstatic for Ang. Lauren and Tyler had just celebrated their one year anniversary and I knew Jess had a crush on Mike but he was totally oblivious to that fact.

"Bella," I turned around to see who had called out to me; I should've known the voice. Sure enough, Angela came running towards me with her long, brown hair flowing out behind her. "Are you excited? First day of grade ten," she said as she hugged me tightly.

"You should know me better by now Ang," I exclaimed and pulled away from the embrace, "I always hate the first day of school. You have the best holidays and you come back to school and are surrounded by the people you don't like for another year." It was true. There were a few people who disliked me. Three of them just happened to be in my first class. The bell rang and Ang and I walked off to our first class, Mathematics.

All the people who were in the same class last year were in the same classes again this year. That bothered me a bit.

"Alright class," Mr Varner said, "Take the same seats as you were in last year."

Great, I thought. Just then someone barged past me and tripped me over. I looked up and there was Edward Cullen with the biggest smirk on his face.

"Oh, I'm so sorry Bella. I didn't see you there. So I guess we'll be Maths partners again this year. Isn't that great?" Edward took his seat next to mine.

I got off from the ground and sat next to him. "Yeah, sure Cullen. It'll be just perfect." I gave him a weak smile.

I wasn't paying much attention to class today, I never do on the first day back, so when the bell rang for our next class I got up and walked out the door.

"Hey Bella!" Mike said as he came running to a stop beside me, "How was your first class?"

"Ugh, I have to sit with Cullen again this year. Can you believe that?"

"Oh, that's a shame." Mike suddenly put his hand on my waist to lead me through the door way. I flinched away. "Sorry, Bella."

I knew Mike had a bit of a crush on me but I only thought of us as friends and plus, I'd try and give Jessica her chance. "Mike, you like me don't you?"

He stuttered a bit before he managed to say, "Well, yeah. A bit." And then blushed.

"I'm sorry but I only think of you as a friend and nothing more." I felt so bad saying that but I had to tell him the truth. "But is it not that obvious to you Mike?" I laughed.

"Not obvious about what?" He didn't seem hurt about my words so I continued.

"The way Jess looks at you, Mike. She's totally into you. Just, give her a chance before anyone else okay?" His eyes lit up at the mention of Jess. "Just talk to her sometime today, if you want."

"Yeah, I might do that. Thanks Bella." Mike said before he walked off to sit at our table. I went off to get my food.

As I sat down next to Ang I heard someone walk behind me and say, "Yeah, I know right. It's so lame I have to sit next to Swan." Peaking over my shoulder I saw Edward and his brother Emmett. Edward was absolutely gorgeous. His hair was just a messy pile of bronze, with the most smothering green eyes. He was muscular and tall, but nothing like his Emmett. Emmett had short, curly, brown hair. He was much more muscular then Edward, and much taller. It was actually kind of scary just looking at him.

"Don't worry about them Bella. They're jerks." Ang comforted me. I wasn't hurt. Edward teased me occasionally last year too. I never took it seriously.

I looked back over my shoulder and saw Edward and Emmett sit down at their table. Emmett sat next to his girlfriend Rosalie Hale. She was pure beauty. Her long, blonde hair was wavy all the way to her mid-back and it had the slightest shimmer to it and she was always dressed in the best clothes. I looked like nothing compared to her. My hair was brown with a tinge of red in it. It was a bit wavy and settled a hand length below my shoulders. Jeans and a simple shirt were always what I seemed to be wearing. Edward sat down next to his sister, Alice Cullen. Alice was a short girl with black, spiky hair. She more resembled a pixie the way I thought of her. You never seemed to fail to see her without a big smile on her face or in her usual bubbly attitude. She was going out with Jasper Hale, Rosalie's 2nd cousin. Jasper had blonde, curly hair a bit longer than Emmett's. You only caught him smiling every now and then. Jasper and Alice and Emmett and Rosalie seemed like the perfect couples. They were madly in love by the looks of it. They didn't care who was watching them when they basically ate each other's faces off when they kissed. That left Edward... single. Sure, I had a crush on him but I doubt anything would ever happen. So I kept Edward and I for my daydreams.

The next few weeks of school were alright. Classes were going smoothly and I was still somewhat near the top of the class. Edward still teased me but what was new. I was kind of starting to like grade ten... slowly.

REVIEW PLEASE! will make me extremely happy :)
