Hi to all! This is my first fanfic so please be kind and please review! I'm not too sure how far this story will go so I guess it kind of depends on you guys, the readers, and whether or not you would like to see it continue…let me know if you're liking it or not – all thoughts on the story are welcomed.
Pairing is Alice & Bella. In this Edward is single; Rosalie and Emmett are married as are Carlisle and Esme. Just for the ease of freeing up Alice I have not included Jasper in this story.
I own no characters in here, all the praise goes to Stephanie Meyers – she is surely a genius!
Chapter One - Surprises
Alice's POV
I had never seen someone as beautiful in my entire existence, which when you're a vampire, is a long time! I felt drawn to this girl that walked into the cafeteria and I could tell from the buzz in the room that everyone in this small little school felt the same, she was new, she was gorgeous, and most shockingly, an enigma to me. I couldn't remember the last time that I had been surprised by something, my visions always prevented me from not knowing when something new would happen, but now, in this very moment, I felt…..surprised! Obviously I had been scanning the future to see if the famous new arrival in Forks would be a threat to my family and me, and upon not seeing anything at all to do with a newcomer to the town, had come to the conclusion that it was just a false rumour about chief Swan's infamous daughter returning to her father's care. I had not seen anything about this goddess who walked so cutely past me smiling and blushing consecutively, oblivious to the danger to humans that my family posed.
I lazily rested my chin in my hand as I continued to gaze at this new beauty. I glanced at Edward before reverting my eyes back to the temptress, he was starring cautiously at the new girl…..the new girl…hmmm I must remember to find out her name…anyway, in a hushed tone so quiet that a human would not be able to hear I asked him why he was trying to bore a hole through the poor girls head with his stare. Edward glared at me in mock anger and then smiled his crooked smile. He replied that he was having trouble reading her mind and had not realised that he had been staring at her. He apologised and stood up to leave. As he arose from his seat he turned briefly towards the table that held my stare and then returned to face me, he winked at me and stated as cool as ice "I do hope you weren't jealous of my attention to you're new love, and please try to filter all of the sordid thoughts that are clouding up your mind, I can hear them all and it's making me queasy". If I could blush I would have, I had forgotten all about his annoying talent as I studied her perfect curves and the way she was looking over at our table with her stunning chocolate eyes. As he turned to leave I poked my tongue out at him and graceful as a dancer followed him out of the cafeteria doors.
Bella's POV
Great, I'd only been in this school for two hours and already I have a lunch date with a boy who could be a very high contender for 'most annoying of the year'…what did he say his name was again….Matt? Mark? No wait I know this….Mike...that was it! Either way, he asked me after first period if I would like to sit with him at lunch and I thought it would be better to sit with at least one person then have to eat on my own whilst the entire school stared at me. Urgh, I hate all of this attention, I hope the new girl status rubs off quickly.
Mike took me by the elbow and steered me towards a table full of people. Well at least I wouldn't have to be alone with him! As we walked through the maze of tables and chairs towards the back of the small cafeteria I noticed her. Her smile was the first thing I saw, followed closely by her golden eyes running over my body, she stood out from the crowd, her whole table did, I don't think I had ever seen a group of such beautiful people, they were definitely different to the standard students who filled the cafeteria, and this one small girl before me had the most beautiful face of them all. I smiled back instantly forgetting the art of speech and then continued to blush as her smile widened, it was the oddest thing, here she was, a complete stranger to me and yet her smile made me feel at ease for the first time during the day and for some unknown reason I felt a need to get to know her, this mysterious, pale skinned pixie.
I sat at the table with Mike and he introduced me to his friends, there was Jessica, an obnoxious girl with light brown hair and from first impressions I gathered that she was desperately crushing on Mike, next to her there was a tall, dark haired boy, I think he said his name was Eric, he seemed nice enough if not a little geeky, and lastly there was a tall, slim girl named Angela, she smiled at me warmly and then went back to writing in her note book. With introductions out of the way conversation soon turned to what everyone was planning for the upcoming weekend. I listened as they droned on about never having anything fun to do in this small town and soon found myself phasing out until I was just plain not listening.
My eyes wandered all around the room taking in my new surroundings until finally coming to rest upon the table three rows away from us, and into the golden pools of the pixie like girl. She did not shy away from my stares, instead choosing to look straight back. After a few seconds of our eyes connecting I turned away and blushed. There was something intoxicating about those deep eyes, full of wonder, and I made a conscious decision, right there and then, I would get to know this intriguing girl if it was the last thing I did. As all of these thoughts coursed through my mind I noticed movement from the table I had previously been staring at. The 'Pixie', as I would call her until I learned her true name, had her head tilted into her small pale hand, the bronze haired boy that was sitting across from her suddenly stood and turned towards me and gave me a wry smile and then promptly turned back to face the 'pixie'. Suddenly she did the cutest thing I think I have ever seen and poked her tongue out at him in an impish manner and silently stood and followed him out of the room. I smiled to myself, unexpectedly thinking that this quaint little town might be more interesting then I had first thought.
