Bella's POV

I was walking down the hallway at school.

"Look at the loser", I heard a snobby female voice say followed by giggles.

I turned around to see Jessica and Lauren giggling and pointing at me. I looked down and turned back around. After turning around I bumped into someone and closed my arms ready to feel the impact of my fall. Instead, strong arms caught me and I opened my eyes. I was met with stunning green eyes. They were beautiful. I looked away and blushed.

"Are you okay?", asked the guy who caught me.

I looked back at him only to realize who it was. Edward Cullen. The most popular guy in our school. He was truly gorgeous. I was plain and nothing.

"Edward… come with us", Lauren insisted and took his arm into hers.

She started pulling him away with Jessica strolling behind them. He looked back at me giving a pity look. I couldn't stop looking at him, until I felt someone shove me into the lockers. I was on the ground and Tyler and Mike were snickering while walking away after pushing me. Down the hall, I could see Lauren, Jessica, and Edward were no longer in sight.

After class, I headed towards the cafeteria to get my lunch. I walked into the cafeteria and saw Edward sitting with Lauren, Jessica, Mike, and Tyler. I jumped when I felt someone tug on my arm. I turned around to Alice and Emmett smiling back at me. I laughed and rolled my eyes at them. I grabbed my lunch and headed towards our table with them. Alice and Emmett were Edward's siblings. They don't sit with Edward though, since they don't like his friends.

"Hey Belly Boo. What's new?", Emmett asked me.

I shrugged and looked at Alice.

"Just the usual", I explained to them.

"Shoving? Giggling?", Alice questioned.

I signed, looked down, and nodded.

They were used to me being made fun of. I was a target in this school. I thought through depression and bullying a lot. Most people didn't know how serious the bullying was. My parents just shrugged it off and told me to ignore it. Alice and Emmett supported me, but they didn't know I was really depressed most of the time from it.

"So Bella… can I borrow you for a second, you know have a girl talk outside?", a voice sneered.

I looked up to see Lauren staring back at me. The look on her face told me to not even try her.
