A/N: Well, here's our new story! It's quite a bit different from our last one, but we hope that you will like it, or we will have to lock you in a room with Gabriella and Troy. So tell us what you think...but not about Gabriella and Troy. We dislike them so. We're going to stop talking now.

Disclaimer: Stephenie Meyer owns Twilight...and our souls, but Alice would also like to add that Jasper also owns her soul...but Stephenie owns Jasper, so yeah.

Bella's POV

I was seated at my regular table in the library. Lunch time. The time when normal people are eating in the cafe, but not me. Here I sat in the library corner, eating my apple and reading the fifth Harry Potter for the hundredth time. I had the familiar feeling of moisture in the corner of my eyes as Sirius slowly plummeted through the veil. Finally the tears overwhelmed me, and I felt them slowly drip down my cheek as I mumbled "No Sirius! How could you leave Harry?" under my breath.

I looked up from my book to see the people at the table over giving me strange glances. They don't understand the magic of literature! "What!?!" I said, somewhat viciously. I was very sensitive when it came to Harry. They snickered as they rose from their table and exited the library, not even bothering to answer.

I looked around, realizing for the first time I was all alone. I was about to delve back into the Ministry of Magic, when a large crowd of gigging girls entered the library.

"Do they, like, have any, like, magazines in this place? Cause like, I totally wanted to find out if like, Brad left Angelina for like, Jen. Cause it totally seemed like he was gonna do it in the last issue." said one of the girls loudly.

"O.M.G. Wouldn't that be like, so crazy if he like, did that? What about all those babies they have?" said another, as she applied another coat of gloss on her lips and examined herself in a pocket mirror.

"Oh you totally don't have to worry! They're like, adopted!" said the third, snapping her gum loudly.

I couldn't take it any longer. "Excuse me! This is a library! People are trying to read! Besides, your not allowed to chew gum!" I snapped, shutting Harry with a bang.

"Umm…aren't you the only one in here?" asked the first, looking as though she was seeing me for the first time.

"Yeah? Well I'm a person too!" I cried, on my very last nerve.

"Fine! We were gonna go back to the cafe anyways." said one of them.

"Yeah. It like, totally smells of nerd." piped up another.

"Yeah. Nerd." hissed the last, as they sashayed out of the library, leaving in their midst a lingering scent of hairspray and bubblegum.

I stalked back to my seat and was just about to start reading, when I heard someone clearing their throat behind my shoulder.

"What?" I snapped, whipping my head around, only to find a very frightened looking librarian. "Oh sorry Mrs. I didn't realize it was you." I said, feeling my cheeks start to redden.

"It's quite alright Bella. I was just wondering if you would be able to man the library for the rest of the day. You have a spare forth, right? I have a meeting with the principal about the new shipment of books." she said.

"Oh, no problem Mrs.! I'd be happy to!" I replied. I practically lived here anyways. An extra period would be no trouble.

"Alright then. If you could close up around 5, that would be great. If you get hungry, there's a vending machine in the hallway. See you Monday! Thanks Bella." she said, already leaving.

I put Harry and my lunch into my backpack before I started loading a cart full of books. I figured if I was going to be here for awhile, I might as well make myself useful.

I was at the back, putting away some seriously heavy volumes when I heard a voice squeal "Guys. Seriously. I totally have to study for chemistry, or else I'll like, totally fail." Ugh. Rosalie Hale. Kill me now. An afternoon stuck with her ramblings and I would have no brain cells left.

Rosalie's POV

To be honest, I wasn't failing chemistry. I wasn't failing any of my courses. Actually, I'm kinda on honour roll, but my friends don't need to know that. Sometimes, I just need to get away from my friends. And the laughing. And the giggling. And the squeals. And the gossiping. And the gum! Honestly! Does every single girl in Forks High have to chew gum like a cow? Edward tells me I should make new friends, but Edward just doesn't get it. If I make new friends, I won't be popular. Actually, I totally would be popular. I mean, I'm gorgeous. Every guy in school wants me. That's why I can't make new friends. All the girls in school are jealous. Actually, I kinda get the feeling they hate me.

As I was thinking this, I felt two very menacing eyes on the back of my head. I turned to see that Bella girl giving me the death glare. "What?" I asked, wondering what I could have possibly done.

"What are you doing here?" she hissed at me, as though I had no right to be in her library. See what I mean? They hate me.

"Umm…I'm kinda studying. Ya know, what people do in a library?" I hissed back.

"Fine!" she snapped. "But there had better not be any gum!"

I rolled my eyes and opened my book with a bang as she stalked off. I was just about to start my study notes for the next quiz, when the library doors flew open. Mike Newton stuck his large, obnoxious head in and shouted "Hey guys! Emmett just punched Tyler in the face! I think his nose is broken!"

That Emmett McCarthy, always getting into trouble.

Emmett's POV

"Ah! Man! What was that for?" screeched Tyler as I wiped my bloody knuckles off on my jeans.

"Ya looked at me funny." I muttered, enjoying the way his face paled at my words.

"Emmett! The principal heard Mike running around telling everyone about what just happened. I would get out of here before he finds out it's you." squealed that whinny Jessica girl as she ran around the corner.

"Thanks." I said in her direction. I then turned to Tyler. "Ya better not tell anyone who did this to you or it will be more than just your nose that's broken. Tell him you ran into a wall or something. And if ya see Newton, tell him he's next." I said before vanishing around the corner.

I needed a place to hide, and I needed one quick. If the principal found out about this one, I'd be out for a week, and a week with my old man was the last thing I wanted.

Where could I go that no one would ever think to find me? My eyes scanned quickly, before they came to rest on the beautiful brick building in front of me. Yes! The library!

I paused outside the door of the library, shivering a little. Should've brought a warmer jacket. A high echoing voice rang out over the school grounds. Singing? Who sings at lunch?

"Shuddup, will ya!" I yelled over my shoulder before running out of the cold winter air and into the library.

Alice's POV

I was singing my favourite song, trying to get Lauren's opinion on which key I should sing in, when I was very rudely told to shut up.

Lauren huffed at my side. "Well some people just don't know talent. I thought it was wonderful Alice."

"Thanks Lauren! You've always been there for me since I came here." I said, smiling at her.

Suddenly my stomach growled. "Oh! I guess it's time to eat! I'm going to run down to the vending machine. Meet you with the others in a sec."

Lauren nodded, and I twirled off towards the vending machines. I pulled out some change and picked a low-fat protein bar. You've gotta be careful of those calories.

I spotted my usual gang, the drama club, gathered a little off to the side of the cafeteria doors.

I started towards them, when I heard a small clatter. I looked down to see a pencil rolling across the floor towards me. I bent down and grabbed it, looking around to find the owner. I spotted Jasper with a notebook propped up on his knees and glancing at me nervously.

I walked over to him, holding out the pencil. "Did you drop this?" I asked, smiling a little. Jasper always seemed to be alone. I felt a bit bad for him, but it didn't seem like it bothered him very much.

He nodded timidly, holding out his hand.

"Here ya go Jasper." I said, smiling again, but just before I was able to hand him the pencil, I heard Lauren's voice from around the pillar.

"I mean, it's not like Alice is even that good of a singer. It's only because she's new and from California. That's the only reason she got the lead instead of me. They felt bad for her." Lauren sneered.

I peeked around the corner, to see all my friends nodding their heads in agreement. Well! Some friends they were! I quickly dropped the pencil into Jasper's outstretched palm, and stalked forward to confront them.

Jasper's POV

My hand clamped around the pencil, my mind buzzing with what those poor excuses for friends said about her. Not that I knew too much about friends, but really! How could they be so awful with Alice? Alice, who was smart, and pretty, and nice to everyone, even a loner like me. Alice was…perfect. How could anyone not like her?

Okay, well maybe I'm bit biased, but that's only because I've liked her since the first day of school. She actually knows my name. No one knows my name. I peeked around the corner, a bit curious as to what she was planning on doing.

I turned just in time to see her flailing her arms dramatically as her voice carried across the atrium. "How could you say that about me? And I thought we were friends! I can see now I was wrong! Well ya know what? You guys really aren't that great of singers either! But I'm still nice to you! Have I ever told you were off-key? NO! And Lauren, it's kind of obvious you cut your hair to look like mine, but let me tell you honey, it's not working out for you! You look like a man!"

Her dramatic display was awarded with stunned silence after her friends caught on that they were so busted. "I'm going to go find some real friends in the library!" she hissed, storming by me in her angst.

I caught a whiff of her lovely perfume, and needed no more persuasion. I needed some quiet time…in the library. I quickly packed up my drawing stuff, and got up, only to smack right into Edward Cullen.

Edward's POV

"Oh, sorry man." I mumbled, not really noticing who I was bumping into. The guy I walked into just kept walking forward with his head down.

Two seconds after he was gone, one of Rosalie's ditzy friends ran up to me. "Oh! Hi Eddie! How was the football game?" she asked, fluttering her eyelashes at me.

"Please don't call me Eddie. We won." I mumbled, getting annoyed.

"That's cause you're on the team! You're like, all strong and stuff." she said, leaning closer to me.

"Uh…yeah. Have you seen my sister?" I said, trying to get away from her as quickly as I could.

"I think I seen her, like, go in the library or something, but it's like, does Rosie ever study?" Rosalie and her lies. One day those friends of hers might find out that she has more brain power than all of them combined.

"Thanks." I said, half-running away and towards the library before she could pucker her lips any closer to my face.

I entered the library just as it started to snow a bit harder than before. Looks like we were in for some bad weather, but being a native in Forks, I've seen the worst.

I looked around, realizing there weren't many people in the library today. I mentally counted six of us. That's good. It should be nice and quiet.
