Edward POV

My siblings and I were riding in Rosalie's shiny new red convertible, laughing about something silly that Emmett had said. When we neared the school, a swarm of thoughts rushed at me. Although I was used to hearing all the student's minds, it was still sometimes quite annoying. We parked the car in the parking lot, when a certain thought caught my attention.

Wow, that new Bella student is smokin hot! Hmm…maybe I should ask her to dinner on Friday before anybody else does…

It was that foul Mike Newton's thoughts. By this time I was well aware of there being a new student, which was very rare for Forks High. I had yet to see her. From the sound of it, she was very pretty. I warned my siblings that there would be a new human. They merely nodded.

It didn't really matter with us, its not like we were going to be friends with her. We always made sure to stay clear of the over-friendly humans, therefore they usually caused trouble. I grabbed my bag and headed towards first period.

I was early as usual, so I took my notebook out and started to doodle. After about a minute, I realized I had drawn a heart. Sigh. Would I ever fall in love?

I quickly erased it and by that time the bell had rung. Luckily the seat next to me was empty. I usually just doodled during this class, since we didn't do anything. Advisory was just kinda free time.

I became aware of the door opening, and again the student's minds started to buzz again. Especially Mike Newton's.

All right yes! Bella's in our class! I wonder if she like's me, she seemed pretty impressed when we met, but awfully shy. She also looked a little depressed, aww man she's gonna have to sit next to Cullen, it's the only available seat…

I raised my head up and curiously watched Bella hand the slip to the teacher to get signed. W-o-w.

She was absolutely breath taking. Her long wavy brown hair curled around her body and stopped right above her waist. Her skin was pale, and she had no make up on, not that she needed it. She definitely had a natural complexion. The boy was right though, she did look a little depressed, but maybe it was just the weather.

The teacher signed the slip and handed it back to her.

"You can go sit next to Mr. Cullen in the front, since it's the only empty seat."

Her eyes flickered over to me. I tried to read her expression (and her mind), but they were both unreadable. Most girls fall head over heels to me (not bragging its just a fact), but Bella looked actually horrified. Smart girl.

She turned back to the teacher and said,

"Um, can I please sit, uh, with a girl? It nothing personal, I'd just feel more comfortable-"

"I'm sorry, there are just no more seats. Please just take a seat next to Mr. Cullen, he doesn't bite."

Ha.

Bella slowly made her way to her seat. I didn't stare at her, although I was curious to why she didn't want to sit with me.

She hesitantly sat down, putting her backpack on the floor. The rest of the period she spent looking straight at the board. What was with her?

Finally the bell rang.
