First Meetings. BPOV

Ugh. Another Monday morning here in Forks. I pulled up to Forks High School in my 1957 Chevy truck. As a danger magnet, a sturdy vehicle was what I needed to keep myself safe. My friend Jessica, hearing the roar of my truck, ran over and started gossiping about the new students that just moved to town with their parents. She was baffled at the fact that I really wasn't into that conversation.

"I don't care about the new kids Jess. Why would I?"

My name is Isabella Marie Swan, Bella for short. I live in Forks, Washington which is the wettest place in the continental United States. I moved to Forks at the beginning of my freshman year after my mom remarried. Phil was nice enough, but he was only 7 years older than me so it was kind of creepy. I was the shiny new toy when I came to this small town. You see, in a town as small as Forks interesting things don't happen very often so when I, the daughter of the Chief's flighty ex-wife, came home, privacy was a very big issue.

I made several "friends" when I moved back. Jessica Stanley was nice enough, but she was a huge gossip. Mike Newton was decent but he had obvious feelings for me that I did not return. It didn't stop him from being my friend and it definitely didn't stop him from trying to get together with me. Angela Weber was my best girl friend, even though we weren't that close. While every other female in Forks was a gossip and talkative, Angela was kind and compassionate. Jessica's babbling broke my train of thought.

"What do you mean you don't care? The entire town has been awaiting their arrival for weeks."

"I guess I know what their going through. They've been in town for what? A total of 14 hours and already rumors are spreading about why they moved down here and why they were all adopted and yada-yada-yada. They're people Jess, not pieces of meat. Everyone just needs to lay off. I'll see you later, I was asked to be their tour guide."

"OMG! I forgot about that. Can I help??? Pleaaaaaaaase?"

"Jessica, no! Remember people, not meat."

And with that, I went to the office to meet the new students and hopefully get a chance to warn them before the rest of the school gets a hold on them

As I entered the office I said a hello to Mrs. Cope, the secretary. She told me that the students were in the principals office getting the standard "This is what I expect of you while you are attending Forks High School" speech.

I sat down and proceeded to take out my Trig homework. While I had finished it, I wanted to take the extra time to make sure I understood it incase Mr. Yule gives us a pop quiz.

"And now we're just waiting for your tour guide to arr—Ah! Miss Swan, you're hear. I guess I don't have to wait for you much longer. Or at all. Mrs. Cope, please don't pick on me. It is still very early." Mr. Green was definitely not a morning person. He was standing next to 5 impossibly gorgeous people. Three boys and two girls. One of the boys was huge, buff, with dark hair and dimples. One was muscular, but blonde. And the other one was more boyish with bronze hair. I decided right then and there that he was the best looking. Wait…what was I thinking? The girls were complete opposites of each other in appearance, but still inhumanely beautiful. One was a short pixie with dark hair that was in a spikey do. The other was probably the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. She was tall, statuesque, and blonde with curves in all the right places.

"Good Morning Mr. Green." I said politely while still fascinated with these new comers.

"Good Morning. Might I introduce the Cullens? This is Emmett Cullen, Edward Cullen, and Alice Cullen." He said pointing to the buff dark-haired male, the bronze haired male and short pixie like girl. "And this is Jasper and Rosalie Hale. I trust you will make them feel welcome here Miss Swan?" He asked suspiciously. Even though I had been here for two years and was obviously not the gossip like other girls in this small town, he still had his doubts.

"Of course Mr. Green."

"Very well, I'm going to go to sleep, I mean work in my office. Please forget I said that."

"Yes sir" every one said.

Mr. Green nodded his head and went to his office. Mrs. Cope went to the copy room to do some work in there.

"Before I show you guys around, I just wanted to warn you-"

"WE can take care of ourselves Swan! You don't need to warn us that this is your school and we better stay clear and—" Edward bursted out. I didn't understand where that was coming from but Emmett punched him to shut him up.

"Um…that's not really where I was going with that." I said in a low voice. I was getting close to tears so I was staring at the floor. I was afraid that if I spoke any louder I would explode with tears.

"What were you going to say Isabella?" Alice asked me compassionately. I liked her already.

"I heard some rumors circulating and gossip spreading about your family and I wanted you all to know. I don't know where you come from or what your story is and it's none of my business. But I don't know if you've ever lived in a small town. I came here two years ago and it was all pretty vicious. I just wanted to warn you. And I'm sure a lot of the student body will be throwing themselves at you. Oh please call me Bella. Isabella is way too formal."

Alice's smile widened. She was so happy. And she was bouncing. What I wasn't prepared for was Emmett to come up behind me like he did.

"It's really nice to meet you Bella!"He said while picking me up to the point where I was at his 6'5" height.

"Can't breathe Emmett"

"Oops…sorry!" He grinned sheepishly.

"It's okay. You caught me off guard." He was a really big teddy bear. I was laughing.

"Can we just get on this tour already?" Edward said.

"Geeze Eddie, lighten up. Why are you being such a dick?" I think Emmett started to warm up to me because he was yelling at Edward.

"It's alright. We really need to get going anyway." I didn't want to be the reason for a family fight.

I led them out the door and in to the rain that was Forks.

AN—Please review. I don't normally do this but 10 reviews will get me to post the 2nd chapter. Its already written, but I want to make sure people actually read this story before I write too much of it.
