Chapter One
Edward POV
*FLASHBACK*
I was sitting at my computer doing an essay on Romeo and Juliette's relationship, an assignment my english teacher had given us earlier this week. It was due tomorrow so I was scrambling around trying to finish it, only to be disturbed by a soft knock on my door.
"Come in" I shouted knowing that it was either my mom or dad trying to come inside. The door creaked open little by little revealing my mom's heart shaped face with caramel hair and a petite frame. Normally she would be sporting a happy grin on her face lighting up the entire room with her happy energy, but not today though. She had a worried look on her face. I was immediately concerned, What could have went wrong to make my normally vibrant, fun loving mother so worried?
"What's wrong mom?" I watched as she sat on my bed and just stared at me with a calculating look on her face.
"What cha working on?" She asked back, ignoring my previous question therefore making me more suspicious. Pulling my bottom lip into my mouth and sucking on it thoughtfully I finished my conclusion to my essay. Saving and closing it down before turning back to my mother and answering her question.
"My English essay on Romeo and Juliette for class tomorrow. It's finished now so what's wrong?" She nervously fiddled with the hem of her skirt before raising her gaze back to my face from where it used to be focused on the floor boards.
"Edward" She sighs "Were moving." I was shocked to say the least. I mean Why would we be moving? It's perfect here! We have lived here most of our lives! Well mine anyways… But still we have friends here and it's nice and sunny. Phoenix is perfect and I don't understand why anybody would want to leave.
"Wh-Where?" I asked. My voice was shaky but I chose to ignore it but my mom didn't. She stared at me for what seemed like hours before sighing again and lowering her gaze back to the floor boards.
"To Forks, Washington. Your father and I want to live and retire somewhere small with not to many people. Edward, I know this is hard but we have to move on eventually it's not like all your friends will be going to the same collage as you next year." This made me angry. They wanted to take me from Phoenix? This is my home! What made me angrier is that she was holding collage to me in this argument. All she wants is to move to Forks because she doesn't like the city life but I have to go through my senior year at a new school with no friends?
Without a word I got up from my desk and walked out of the house. Only looking back once to see the hurt face of a woman I didn't recognize anymore. Esme Cullen, A women I couldn't even consider my mother anymore. So I jogged away from my house, Away from my problems.
*PRESENT TIME*
That night a fight broke out that was stupid and very unreasonable. I didn't talk or show any respect towards my mother and father for a couple weeks until my father got fed up at talked some sense into me. Soon enough our house was sold and we were in a new one. Now I'm standing in front of Forks High school as I try to ignore that stares I get from the student population. With my head held high I walk up the front steps to the main office to receive my schedule. Let day one of a new school begin.

Finally lunch came around and I was starving. After doing my time in a lunch line while my ear was being talked off by two girl's named Jessica Stanley and Lauren Mallory who had thrown themselves at me every chance they got throughout the day, I was trying to find a lone table with nobody sitting at it and to my delight I did find one.
As I started to walk towards it two sets of manicured hands reached out and grabbed my arms before pulling me over to a ginormous table that currently had four guys sitting at it and two girls.
I could feel the whole cafeterias eyes on me as I sat down in between Lauren and Jessica. I gave everybody a warm smile, trying to make a good impression for these people who I'd probably be spending a lot of time with for the next year only to receive a nasty glare from a guy with blue eyes and blonde hair in which he kept in a ponytail.
"This is James" Says Jessica as she points at him, completely obvious to the looks he's giving me "And this is Victoria, James's girlfriend" She points to a red head with curly hair and sparkling blue eyes who gives me a warm smile causing James's glare on me to deepen.
"This is Laurent" Lauren takes over for Jessica, batting her eyes at a dark skinned guy with dread locks and dark brown eyes. He nods his head at me and gives Lauren a nice warm smile. When Lauren doesn't continue on, to dazzled by Laurent's smile. Jessica takes over once again.
"This is Ben" She says pointing to a boy with golden brown skin along with long black hair and brown eyes.
"And this is Ben's girlfriend Angela" She continues on. Angela has wavy brown hair and brown eyes that are covered by her glasses. She gives me a friendly smile before continuing in a conversation with Ben.
"This is Mike" I look at him only to see he and Jessica are having a stare off. Mike has a baby face with spiky blonde hair and light blue eyes.(A/N: Sorry about the lack of detail for everybody just don't like descriptions.)
After introductions are finished everybody starts a conversation and I feel happy that I'm included and accepted into this group of friends so easily. When the Bell rings I get up and start to leave the cafeteria when Jessica catches up.
"Edward!' She gasps for breath while taking ahold of my arm causing me to feel bad that she's tired after having to run to catch up to me "What class do you have next?"
"Err…" I look at my schedule "Biology with Mr. Banner" After saying this I see a huge grin grow on her face
"Great!" She says "I have that class too. Let's go!" And with that she grabs my wrist pulling me through the hallways, Past the gaping teenagers and into a class room. I can't help but feel nervous as I land up in a class that has mostly everybody already in it. Jessica is already heading towards her seat so I walk up to the teacher and hand him my slip to sign.
He signs it and hands it back to me telling me to sit in the back of the room next to a burly guy curly brown hair and hazel eyes. As I sit down next to him he gives me a giant smile that shows two deep set dimples and introduces himself as Emmett. Just as I'm about to respond back Mr. Banner calls everybody's attention.
"Good afternoon class!" He says "Today we have a new student, Mr. Edward Cullen. Mr. Cullen if you would please come up here and tell us a bit about yourself" I wordlessly get up out of my seat and walk to the front of the room.
I clear my throat before I speak.
"Hi, I'm Edward Cullen. I'm an only child. My mom's an interior designer and my dad's a doctor at the local hospital. We just moved here from Phoenix because we wanted to live well, not in the city…so yeah. That's it" During my little speech everybody but Jessica and Emmett wouldn't stop staring at me like I was an alien from another planet. As I started towards my seat again I could hear Mr. Banner clear his throat, thank me for going up there then start class.
During the period the girls in front of me kept on turning around and looking at me before giggling and blushing, it was getting quite annoying. Guys kept glaring at me, causing me to roll my eyes.
Towards the end of the period I felt something poking at my elbow which was on the desk. I looked down and saw a note when I looked back up Emmett made motions for me to open it. (A/N: Edward: Italics Emmett: Bold)
Hey man I was wondering if you wanted to come skating with me and my friends after school.
I thought about it and decided I would. I mean I can't skate but I have to learn sometime. Not today though. Also it's not like I have anything else to do anyways and I could use more friends so I scribbled down my answer before giving it back.
Yeah why not
After reading the note I received another dimpled smile before he bent over the note again and wrote something on it.
Great after school meet me outside, I'll be by a red jeep wrangler and you can follow me there
I nodded my head just before the bell rang and headed towards my final class; Gym. Trying to ignore the lustful looks and glares I was receiving. I HATE BEING THE NEW KID!

As I made my way out of school to the parking lot I couldn't help but wince. Gym used to be my favorite class of the day but now it seems to be the worst. James and these two girls who looked much less than decent in their too small shirts and short shorts were in that class.
James has it out for me I swear. We played basketball in gym and even when I didn't have the freakin ball James was shoving me around warning me that if I don't stay away from Victoria I was in big trouble. WTF?
I learned that the horrible girls in my gym class were two girls' names Tanya and Irina. They happened to be sisters and apparently had a lot of money. Jessica and Lauren had warned me to stay away from them earlier today at lunch. I had tried to be polite considering the gentleman we all know I am; politely turning down their offers to skip gym and go to the janitor's closet to get our fix of sex.
My rejections didn't seem to faze them at all considering they just giggled and shrugged it off saying that we could do it some other time then. Throughout the basketball game I had my own cheerleaders. Whenever they got the ball they would throw the ball to me even though I was on the opposite team. That stunt didn't make their team very happy with them when they lost 3-14.
When I walked out the door the parking lot was almost empty besides a couple people hanging around with friends so I spotted Emmett easy. He was standing next to his jeep wrangler as he said he would be and he also had a pretty blonde on his arm. He was looking around the parking lot and by the time he spotted me I was already by my car. I gave him a nod before climbing into my car and followed him out of the parking lot.
Soon we were at a skating park. As I got out of my car I noticed the Emmett was standing with a group of people. Most of them had skateboards but one person stood out the most.
She was a girl with curly brown hair that flowed down her back until it reached the middle of her back along with pale skin but I couldnt see her eyes considering she was staring at her skateboard. She seemed completely ignorant of what was going on around her.
As I got closer to the group of friends everybody turned their gazes to me with bright smiles on their faces. Emmett stepped forward and gave me a 'man hug.'
"Hey Edward! You might want to meet everybody! This is Rosalie but call her Rose, She's my girlfriend" As he said this he looked down that the pretty blonde I saw before. She had extremely straight blonde hair and cobalt blue eyes. She looked like a model; there wasn't one imperfection about her. She gave me a small smile so I gave one in return.
"This is-"Emmett started to say but was interrupted by a small girl.
"Hi! I'm Alice!" She chirped sticking her hand out for mine. I placed my larger hand into hers and she pulled me in for a hug. Wow, these people liked hugs. Alice had short black hair that stuck out in every direction with well-defined features and vibrant green eyes like mine just a bit darker, I'd almost think she was my sister. When she pulled away I looked at her and realized that she looked like a pixie.
"Can I call you Pix?" I ask. She looked confused "As in pixie?" At this point everybody is laughing and even the mystery girl I have yet to know looks up and cracks a smile. She has beautiful brown eyes.
"Call me whatever I'm all for nicknames" Alice says giving me a large toothy smile. I can't help but smile back. Alice is easy to like. "Anyways, This is my boyfriend Jasper he's also Rose's twin brother" Alice looks up at a guy with blonde skater hair and cobalt eyes like Rose's he's lean and tall but not as tall as Emmett who is about 6'4. Jasper gives me a lazy smile and says hello toeing his skateboard around.
Finally everybody has been introduced but mystery girl and I really want to know her name. I glance in her direction and Alice sees this movement. She follows my eyes sight and sees mystery girl pushing her skateboard around like Jasper is. When Alice looks back at me she gives me a knowing smile.
"This is Bella" She says. I look at the breath taking girl before me as she glances up at me so I gave her the biggest smile I could give only to receive a reserved one in return.
"Hi" I finally raise my eyes from hers to everybody else's to let them know I'm addressing everybody. "I'm Edward" But by the time I was finished with my statement I had two girls firing questions my way.
"Where are you from?" Alice.
"Why did you move here?" Rose.
"Are you enjoying Forks so far?" Alice and Rose asked in sync.
I chuckled to myself, Of course they would want the gossip first…
"I'm from Phoenix, My family moved up here because my parents got tired of the city life and It's not like I can live on my own yet so I came up here with them. I think I am actually I met some pretty cool people here so far just about everybody has been really friendly."
I looked around me to see that they guys and Bella had all moved on to skating. For hours I sat on the sidelines talking to Rose and Alice about random subjects and watching them skate. Gosh I felt like such a girl.
When It started getting late everybody rounded up and hung out for a bit. Bella came and hung around with a little bit of coaxing from everybody's else. She made comments here and there in our conversations but she never was really in the conversations.
When a light drizzle started and we decided it was time to say goodbye. Alice was currently telling me that I would be seeing them all tomorrow at school so I decided to sneak a peek at Bella only to see that she was messing with her board again. She seemed ready to go and by now that the rain was getting harder and you could tell that Alice and Rose wanted to get home.
I could hear the faint crunching of gravel under wheels as Bella skated away so I turned to face her fully as she went down the street, Her body gradually getting smalleruntil she was out of sight. As I turned away from where Bella once was I was met with her friends worried faces. After a long awkward silence Emmett finally ran a hand through his hair with a sad sigh.
"Edward, you're eating lunch with us tomorrow. See you then." Then he walked away. After receiving a chorus of 'Bye Edwards' I practically ran to my car.
On my way home I came across a soaking wet Bella on a skateboard. Without a thought I rolled down the passenger window, leaned across the console to ask if she needed a ride.
Authors Note: Sooo? How was chapter one? Will Bella accept the ride? Tell me what you think :D I need a Beta ASAP! Any help?
