Bella

I walked out of the car to school. I much rather have those nice ladies that come to our house and teach. Daddy, or Charlie, said it wasn't healthly that we, my brother and I, on our own. I didn't want to make more friends. I didn't want to go to 1st grade! Emmett, My brother, on the other hand was happy to go. I saw Charlie wave to us as he drove his police car away. Emmett and I followed the large group of kids into the huge doors. I felt like and animal being shoved into a barn. Emmett went a ran off to go fin the line for his class. I shyly walked to the number I was told. 15. 15. 15. All the other kids have gone in the room by now. My over sized back pack flopped as I ran threw the halls. It was so hard when you could not read numbers! I finally found the number that looked like the one on the paper. The hallways was covered with hearts and rose's for Valentines Day.

I walked intothe room it was small. With only I would guess like 20 kids!I wasn't sure what to do. I walked over ot the teachers desk. (I knew it was the teacher because I it was the biggest one like on TV).

"Excuse me Ma'ma." I squeaked out queitly. Standing on my tipy-toe to see her over the huge stack of paper. My hands behind my back. She looked up at me and I wished Emmett was here.

"You must be Isabella!" She said happily with a fake happy voice. I got a little mad when older people did that to me. I was 6 years old not 6 days! Gosh people! I know how to tie my shoes for god shake! You cannot pull the wool over my eyes!

"Just Bella." I corrected her politely. Yet, this teacher cheerful dispostion vexed me. I was smart for my age. Extermaly so. I bet I could be in 3rd grade before I ran into trouble! The teacher gave me a cubby. I place my thick blue coat, scarf, hat, and gloves in the tiny hole neatly. Then I walked to my table number which was 5. I saw only one other boy at the table. He was hunched over a drawing.

He shook his head and crumbled the paper up throwing it in the waste basket next to his desk. He had penny colored hair. Bronze, I think it was called.

I took a deep breath. This was it. My entire social life would be based on this year. Your whole social life will go down the drain! That is a scaring thing. I looked okay, I think. I had on my favorite blue jeans, with a white shirt and plaid crosses that werer green, pink. and blue. I have my favorite green knit sweater with my blue converse sneakers that I could tie myself! My hair was in a pony tail.

I climbed into the plastic blue seat. I turned to put my Pooh Bear backpack on the back of my chair. My feet bearly touching the ground. I swang them before I said to the boy next to me,

"Hi, I'm Bella!" I smiled widely at him. He has the greenest eyes I have ever seen. He just looked at me, smiled, then went back to his work. I huffed a little but Started working on a Valentines Day card for who ever. I looked at the bronze hair boy. Jeans with big pockets, they were a blue. A gold shirt with lions on them, a bat man backpack haning off his chair, with a brown jacket over it. I looked down to see his toes on the ground. Not his whole feet but his toes. He had black high tops with flames on the sides. With LACES! Smart kid. I looked at his name tag on the desk. Edward Anythony Masen Cullen. That's a long name!

I would try to talk to him again at lunch time. I drew carefuly on the paper. Making a heart and using the red, silver, and pink glitter. Sharing markers with Edward. He was draing feicerly on white paper.

~o0o~

I grabed my lunch from my back pack and lined up. No body will talk to me. They all laughed at me and whispered. Jessica, a girl in my class, needs to work on whispering. She was telling people that I was bad news. I walked to the lunch room alone. I screached for Emmett and I could not see him. I walked into the loud room to see kids from 5th grade to 1st. It was huge! There was high roof. And from the second floor you could see dowm THere were metal chairs and tabels that fit four. I saw Edward making his way to the back where there was a table pulled far away. I saw some kids stop him and after a quiet converstion, they took his lunch and walked off laughing. I felt bad for him as I saw Edward slumped in his chair. I walked over to him and climb into the seat next to him.

"Wanna share a lunch with me?" I asked him sweatly. Edward looked at me his eyes were a little puffy. He smiled at me and nodded slithly scooting his seat closer to mine.

"I have a nuttella sandwitch! With 4 chocolate chip cookie a big ones! And a milk!"

"Nuttella?"

"Yeah, its hazelnut and drak chocolate mixed together!"

"How does it taste?"

I giggled and ripped the sandwitch in half offering him some. He bit into it. I watched him closely for a reaction. His eyes got wide and a smile spread over his face. He began chewing faster gulping it down. I was happy and settal to eat mine to. We took sips of the milk and 2 cookies for each of us. Still eating we began to talk.

"I have a twin sister, Alice, and she is best friends with Rosalie. She is kinda mean sometimes. Her brother, Jasper, is coming to lives with Rose and their aunt. It's his frist day too. I moved her in the beganing of the year." Edward explained.

"Oh, I have a twin brother, Emmett, why don't you sit with your family?" I asked.

"Because they sit with Tanya, Kate, Lauren, and Jessica, And tyler, Sam, Paul, and mike. They don't like me much. Alice talks to me at home. Rosalie does too. It's just I don't like to talk about Barbie's latest outfit. And Tanya kinda froces them to sit with her. Even if they wanted to sit here, Tanya would tell her mom a lie and then after a long strings of lies for her and events they just gave up!"

"Well- Hey there is Emmett! EMMETT!" I waved my twin brother over eagerly. He heard me and turned his head to face me. He smiled, dilmples and all. He was wearing his favorite jeans. They had holes in them and were torn at the feet. He had his black "Reptar" shirt. with the black velcrow sneakers. His chocolate eyes light up when he talked to this kid next to him. The boy had blue eyes and tumbleweed drity blonde hair. He was wearing slip on checkerboard sneakers. With a plaid black and white button up and a gray sweat shirt over that.

They walked over here. They filled two of the last four seats left. Edward blushed a little when the started eating. I guess he wasn't use to having people around him. I was blushin to.

"Hi, I'm Emmett Dale McCartny Swan!" My brother said to Edward reaching his hand across the table to shake. Edward smiled and opened a little.

"I know! I'm Edward Anythony Masen Cullen!"

"Howdy! I'm Jasper Ace Witlock Hale!"

"And I am just boring Isabella Marrie McCartny Swan!"

"We all have really long last names." Emmett laughed. We laughed with him. We spent the rest of lunch laughing and fooling around.

Edward and I walked back to our class room together. At our Valentines day party we whispered to each other. WE ate bites of our cupcakes that Edwards mom, Esme, brough in ffor us.

"Can you have sleep over with boys?" I asked edward. Our heads were bent down, leaning towards each other so the two girls who sat oppiste of use didn't hear. Edward's eyes went wide.

"I never heard such a thing! Don't girls have cooites?" Edward whispered amazed.

"Maybe, I don't I go to the doctor and I got a shot. So I am clean. Maybe we can make all time histroy this friday! Me, you, Emmett, and Jasper!" I giggled.

Edward smiled and nodded. He opened his mouth to say someting when the teacher clapped her hands.

"Okay, time to pick your Valentines then you can go to gym!" She chripped. I went to ask Edward but he just walked off to the line. It was like when we frist meet and he igored me! I slowly walked to the back of the line. When we got to the gym I sat on the stage next to some one named Mike, who annoy'd me.

"You wanna be my Valentine?" He asked eagerly.

"No, maybe next year." I told him slowly. I don't want to be mean. but I don't want to be his valentine either! Mike just talked and talked and talked. We were playing with things. Mrs. Clapp places a lot of gaint foam shapes. There were square, round, falt, and circle. I went over to Edward. He was blushing. Emmett was laughing and Jasper looked smug.

"Bella!" Edward said arkwardly. I saw Emmett and Jasper nudge each other. Edward was folding something out of his pocket. He boldly stood in front of me and hands the paper to me. It was covered in pink, green, and blue glitter. In messy hand writting was Be My Valentine please, Love Edward. I gasped.

"Bella, Will you be my Valentine?" He questioned me proudly. We had our own little show going on. I nodded my head yes. He walked up and gave me a hug. I huged him back and then when he pulled apart he grabbed my hands.

"Ohhh!" The crowd laughed and joked. We held hands and sat on the side. I saw a pixie like girl bounce her way over here. She was pixie like. She had balck hair. It was only neck long and stuck out all over the place. Her eyes were an olive green. She had stud earings, they were like a pink stone. She had a hot pink head band with a huge flower on the right side. She had hot pink blouse with a white sweater over that only went to her ribs. Her white jeans where tight. Like those skinyy jeans. She had white and pink velcrow sneakers on. She was running over. Her black, pink. and white Hello Kitty backpack flopping all over.

"Hi! I am Mary Alice Brandon Cullen! Call me Alice!" She said so happily that I began to just get happier by talking to her. I told her my name and a little about my self. She saw mine and Edward's hands. She let out another squeal only puppies can hear!

"Edward! You got a Valenntine this year!"

"Alice!" He hissed.

"MARY!" I heard a baby voice yell. It was very annoying. I guessed that was Tanya. She was with Rosalie who looked bored. Rosalie had long hair that went to her shoulders. She had the half pony where the top layers were pulled back and there way bottom layer beathen. It was tied by a red bow. She was wearint a white long sleeve shirt. Then with a black short sleeve shirt with red and hite peace signs on them. She had on black legings with the lace at the end. They went down to her ankles. She was wearinf black flats. She had on a pink barbie backpack.

Alice rolled her eyes but bounced her way back over there. I held Edward hand tightly.

~0~

"Bye Jasper!" I yelled to my new friend who smiled and waved back. He was holding his Uncle's hand. His blue Buzz Lighter backpack flopping as he troted away. Him, Alice and Rosalie trotted away happily. I was left with Edward and Emmett. Alice went to the Hale's for a play date with Rosalie. I felt a little left out but the again they didn't know me. Edward even said that it would be at least summer till I would be like that with them. Because that's when they could get away from Tanya. I had a feeling it would be wtorth the wait.

I stood with Emmett and Edward talking about transformers. Yeah that's right, Transfomers! I would chose Bumblebee over Barbie any day/any night!

"OPTIMUS PRIME!" Emmett screamed at me and Edward.

"BUMBLEBEE!" We screamed back. I knew Jasper would pick optimus prime. Gosh, if my daddy heard me yellin' like this I be in big pile of doo doo. We settled on that they were both good and that they could kick major butt.

I saw Edward move foward when a white Impala. Well, thats what Edward told me what his mom had. The car pulled up to the curb. Edward turned to Emmett to give him a "Fist Bump" as Emmett put it. Where you made a fist and then well bumped it with your firsnd fist. He then came up to me. He looked down at his feet. He let out an awarked cough. I smiled and moved forward to give him a hug. He hugged back after a second.

"Bro, that is my sister your huggin'!" Emmett joked. A lady shut the car off and stepped out of the car. She was an average hight. I would guess 5' 7" she had carmel coloer hair that was in curls. She had a naturaly pretty face. I didn't see any make-up. I would know because mommy wears alot of that stuff. She had green eyes like Edward. She walked over to us and bent down. She gave Edward a hug which he returned. I got slightly confused. My mom never did that to me. She turned to us with a warm smile that made us smile back even wider than we were already smiling.

"Edward, are these your new friends?" Esme asked him. Edward nodded happily.

"That's Emmett and Bella. She was my Valentine today."

"Hello Emmett, Bella. I'm Edward's Mother, Esme." She told us.

I smiled at her blushing I looked down at my feet. Emmett on the other hand was more than happy to go straight up to Esme and give her a hug. Then show her what a "fist bump" was. I looked up to see Daddy's car pull up. I beamed at him as he got out of the car. I ran towards him.

"Daddy!" I screamed. I tripped just as I got to his arms so he caught me. My dad was the cheif so he was strong. He picked me up and spun me around. He placed me on the ground and bent down. He gace me a peck on the nose.

"How was your frist day of school my baby buttercup?" He asked me. I giggled and pulled him towards Edward and Esme.

"I made a new friend. His name is Edward and Jasper but he left!" I told him while pulling his hand. He raised his eyebrows.

"Two friends! In one day!" He said with amazement. I nodded happily. Emmett and Edward were pushing each other and laughing. I held my dad's hand and walked with him. I saw my Dad's eyes widden when he saw Esme. He got the crinkly smile on his face that made him look younger than he really was.

"Go play with the boys Bella!" My daddy told me. I nodded and ran off.

Esme

I watched Emmett and Edward play. I was so happy he found someone to play with. Alice had Rosalie and the witch Tayna. I could tell after this summer I won't be seeing much of her anymore. Thank god. Just because Edward wouldn't play with barbie dolls with her on the frist play date she had with Alice, Tanya made up things about him. Alice has a mouth that can not be stoped.

I felt that we should move because I was worried that Edward was always alone. Pre-school, then kindergarden, then when we did move it happened here! I am so glad that Bella and Emmett were his friends now. This is the frist big smile on is face since his birthday. Bella and Emmett reminded me of my childhood friends. Renee and Charlie. God only knows where they are. Last I heard they were down south. Rosalie and Jasper are Demetri and Heidi's children. I kept in touched with Carrie and still do. Rosalie and Jasper where a surpise! Touring in in the rain forest and you go into laber! That will be a stroy to tell. I frowned that they chose their jobs as Animal sciencest over their children. The go all over the world watching these animals. They gave Rosalie up to her Aunt, Renesmee and her uncle, Nahuel. Strange names but they make a lovely couple. Rosalie was frist because she didn't want to travel anymore. That's what I got from the phone converstion with Heidi anyway. Jasper stay'd a little longer. I guess he took after Demetri, always intrested in something.

Bella looked so much like Charlie, acted like him too. Shy, beautiful, smart. I knew she was smart. Emmett also looked like charlie but acted more like Renee.

"Esme Ann Platt is that you?!" I heard a familar gruff voice. I spun around to see my childhood friend, Charlie Swan. I squealed with happiness. I gave him a hug.

"Charles Swan! Why have you and your wife not called!" I teased. He pulled away and gave me a sad smile.

"Ex-wife."

"Oh! I am so sorry!"

"I'm not. She got into drinking and.......drugs, Cheating. It was not a good place for the kids." He explained. Oh, Renee was so happy tough? What happened? Charlie was the one nicest guy I have ever met, also Carlisle and Demerti of course. I remeber one of the last time I talked to him he said that they were waiting any minute now. It was one of the most intresting phone conversetion I ever had. I was telling him about Edward and Alice when I hear Renee screaming. I guess Charlie forgot to hang up because I heard Renee crusing like no tomorrow. I laughed at the memory.

"Looks like our kids will be the 2nd generation of us." He joked.

"No kidding. Edward and Bella were each other Valentines today." I laughed looking at the card Edward ask me to hold.

Charlie's eyes went wide. "We just moved here, and she already got the boys after her. Dear lord!"

"Amen." I joked. He gave me a 'don't' look and I laughed more.

"Good times, gooood times." I sighed draging out the 'good'. He cracked a smile.

We said our goodbyes and got in our cars. Edward was in his car seat chatting away happily about everything he knew anout his 3 new best friends. I smiled, I knew coming here was a good idea! And Carlisle tought it wasn't. I can;t wait to say I told you so!
