Alice and Rose had just picked me up for school.
As always, it was beginning to be an extremely eventful ride. We had been best friends… excuse me, sisters for as long I could remember. I faintly heard the tinkling of Alice's and Rose's conversation, but as much as I tried to block out their voices, it just seemed impossible.
They just happened to be discussing their favorite subject, my love life and finding me a guy. Ughh.
"Anyway" I said as I interrupted their plans for me," I am perfectly fine without one as I had been for the past six months... besides, I really just need the time to focus on school." I said with finality.
"Come on, Bellarinaa" Rose said, adding the ironic and misleading nickname she had for me.
1) I was anything but graceful!
2) I kind of tend to trip over air… and
3) I'm freakin' accident prone!
"School is all you ever think about and admit it, we all need someone to add flavor to our life!"
"Yeah Bella, I kind of have to side with Rose on this one." Alice and Rose laughed
"This is because I need to start working hard from now… Scholarships! And excuse me Alice, I don't see you having a boyfriend."I rubbed in. Alice had just broken up with her boyfriend of seven months, Laurent. The break-up include something about him being upset cause she always preferred shopping to hooking up and him not making her happy. Honestly, Alice was just not that type of girl
"Don't you even go there we broke up like two weeks ago and we both know I am not without a boyfriend for long."
Damn, the pixie was right!
That was true and I was mad at the fact that everything I rubbed in Alice face always came back to nip me in the butt.
"Hey, I think James likes you." she jumped in with excitement. God no!
"No Alice…Definitely not, he is a total jerk and he is totally full of himself, no way will I ever!"
James was a jock on the football team at school and every girl practically threw themselves at him just boosting his ego. He was known for rumps in the locker room, which was his 'kingdom'. Ughh. While Alice kept going on about James, Rose was having quite an intense stare over in the front seat until she jumped in.
"Bella, remember Emmett's brothers are coming today... And I… I think one of them would be perfect for you if you would just give it a try."
Emmett was Rose's boyfriend who moved here from Chicago months in advance of his family. He was staying with his aunt Tanya because he was on a football scholarship. He and Rose clicked immediately, if anyone could get through her sometime bitchy exterior it would be him. He was beautiful, goofy, had the most gorgeous brown eyes on top of dimples and quite frankly, if any of his brothers was as cute as he was, then just maybe I would just decide to date. But who knows.
They went on and on… they talked about Ricky from Home Ec., Bryan from biology and even Mike! Ick. I was just getting tired, they were my best friends but sometimes they just didn't understand. I just was not as confident as they were, it didn't help that I was a plain jane … I just wanted it to be done,
"Guys can we please just stop...Please." They looked at that seriousness in my eyes and stopped immediately.
The rest of the ride was silent as I just sat there looking out the window at the trees, I couldn't help but think about myself, and what would it be like if I just was as sexy as Rose or as confident and beautiful as Alice. We pulled into the parking lot and immediately spotted Emmett's jeep. At this time Rose had a big smile on her face as we walked up to meet them.
"Hey guys, this stud here is my brother, Jasper."We all greeted him in unison but he took a special interest in Alice. See what I mean? You could tell by the smile on her face that this was it for her, and she just wanted to be in his arms. My friends were just the luckier of the bunch.
Even though we all chatted I felt kind of left out as they all talked together and flirted (Jasper and Alice of course). Third Wheel? Oh, but of course!
"Bellsie" Emmett said as I glanced in his direction. Wow, pathetic, I didn't really realize that I was staring at a tree until then. "Fear not! More Cullen Stud Muffins to come, you and my Bro Bro Eddie would make a cute couple…" He said with a wink. God, it just never dies does it?
"Emmie, please, not you too" I complained.
"Seriously Bella, you and he would be a match made in heaven; he's getting his class assignments right now" Said Jasper. Even though I had just been talking to him for twenty minutes we instantly became friends as if he were here for years. Now suddenly, he was picking out my wedding invitations with Alice.
"Alice, no hook ups" I jumped in. I could tell by the look on her face that she was really up to something. Something I was not into.
Rose was just going to complain about me not giving it a try when I was saved by the bell. Thank god!

"Edward, I got this really hot girl for you trust me she'll have you a runner for your shoes" Emmett interrupted my silence as we rode to school in his jeep.
"Ever since I got here you've been throwing girls at me, that Jessica girl… I can't even… Man, is it not obvious that I don't want one" I complained.
"Edward man you really got to get out of that state man" Jazz said he really had a way of bugging me on this subject.
"Drop it guys" I said as we parked and got out of the car. "I'm going for my class assignments" I continued.
Forks High.
This school would definitely be a big change. Smaller atmosphere, inevitably comes to more gossip, more hook-ups, and more set ups. I was not looking forward to this. The girls here were probably just like the same one in Chicago, stuck up without the ability to keep their legs closed.
I roamed the halls of my new school noticing all the girls watching me but only two approached me, Jessica Stanley and Lauren Mallory. Jessica was disgusting; honestly, she scared the fuck out of me. Lauren, not even worth the descriptive imagery. What disease was lurking between those legs? I would not like to find out. I happily declined their invitation.
After I got my assignments I decided that I should just go avoid my brothers for the morning and this girl that Em was talking about. It really did some good use but the bell rang and I headed to my first class and best subject.
Biology.
I was greeted by a man whom I assumed was the teacher and I guessed correctly, Mr. Banner introduced me to the class and I see the two familiar girls who had approached me sitting together, but couldn't take my eyes of the most beautiful chocolate brown eyes that was just boring into mine, but I couldn't I would remain single until college so I can focus on school.
"You can take a seat now Mr. Cullen" said our teacher who had just introduced me.
I couldn't help but to look at her beautiful brown hair, her eyes everything about her was just calling me like a masterpiece coming to life. I then noticed that she had the only free seat and I knew I was done with. I couldn't be rude to just sit down and say nothing to her so I forced the words that her beauty held out.
"Hi, I'm Edward" she looked at me with the most beautiful eyes and even a blush and I knew she was feeling the attraction that I was. But she was sad I could see it in her eyes.
"I'm Bella" she said in the most soft and cutest voice. She had me already.

I walked in my class noticing that Jessica and Lauren were already there god I hated them they were always jealous of me and I have no Idea why because I was no big thing.
"Hey Slut" Lauren approached me as I just glare at her and Jessica taking my seat.
"What do you want whores?" I spat back.
"Oh, hear that Lauren" Said Jessica. "We just wanted to tell you that you should just stay off Edward Cullen, it takes a slut like you for him to ditch the good girls."
Good girls? Were they really into this foolish talk again? Lauren and Jessica, I've came to the conclusion that they are both disillusioned and for some reason they thought they were the epitome of class.
"If good girl means grinding every random boy you see then you see then ok, I'll stay off bitches" I spat back at them as they just moved away. They just really no how to ruin my day, Going from happy to feeling insecure... nice. It just really does not help knowing that the guys would prefer them over just… me.
Just then I look up and saw these green eyes staring into mine and gazing upon me as if I was something. Just like that I felt good again but was still sad. I liked him right then but did he feel the same way? From the way he was looking I guessed a yes. I suddenly realized that there was only a seat next to me. Oh god, I am going to combust!
Hi, I'm Edward" he said he was looking into my eyes as if he could tell everything that frustrated me. Through these thoughts I realized that I couldn't find the words to talk to him.
"I'm Bella" was all I managed to say right then. I would be telling Alice and Rose about this later. But first him and the rest of biology.
