"Rosalie, I just love the beginning of the school year!" I exclaimed, "You wanna know why???" I asked excitedly. Rosalie looked at me like I was insane.

"Not really," she answered.

"Because every day I get to see my best friends again," Rosalie rolled her eyes probably thinking about the amount of time we had spent together over the summer and went to her brother's side.

"Jasper?" she asked.

"Yeah, Rose?"

"Did you hear?"

"About what?" Jasper looked annoyed, Rosalie was known to ask questions when she obviously knew that you didn't know the answer.

"There's going to be a new kid," Rosalie said, "I wonder if he's cute." Classic Rosalie. Jasper looked up to the ceiling as if asking for answers and then said,

"I gotta go to Science, see you guys later." He walked down the hall, and Rosalie and I both murmured a, "See you at lunch" and departed for our next classes.

I was walking down to Bio and tripped over the rug, and yes even that is possible for me. I landed flat on my face. My face flushed. A couple people snickered but didn't full out laugh because they knew my tongue was as sharp as a knife and making fun of me would cost them way more than laughing was worth. My boyfriend Mike Newton came rushing over to help me, I pushed him aside and picked myself up. After running over to help me, I knew it was rude to not let him, but I really wasn't enthusiastic about our "relationship". Besides, he was most likely dating me just to become more popular, I mean, everyone knew he was really in love with Jessica. And I was like, let her have him, but I couldn't dump Mike, not without a real reason.

Anyway, I walked into the Biology classroom still slightly red from my fall. I looked at the seating chart tacked up on the bulletin board. I saw my seat, and next to me was a new face that I didn't know. That was unusual for me seeing as I saw myself as savior to those who weren't popular. Me, being Bella, walked up to the guy and saw that he was gorgeous! I looked him in the eyes and I froze, they were the most beautiful topaz color. I quickly collected myself and held out my hand, saying, slightly out of breath,

"Hi, I'm Bella!"

"Edward," he acknowledged me, but just with a small nod, and he turned to face the front of the class again. But I wasn't about to give up,

"So…. Where are you from?"

"Pheonix,"

"Ummm… Where did you go to school before you came here?" I asked hopefully.

Edward glared at me and said, "Stay out of my business and stop bothering me!" I was taken aback because this Edward guy was being so mean, I didn't understand it.

Bio passed with agonizing silence. Finally as the second hand reached the twelve for the fiftieth time, class was over. Lunch went buy in a haze, Rosalie was talking my ear off and all I had to do was say, "yeah" every time she took a breath. My mind was on Edward, and when school was over, I went to my school office and asked if I could know the name of the new kid at school. Lots of times in other schools, I had heard, that if you were not always known just because you were the new kid. But here in desolate Forks, every new kid was well-known.

"Edward Cullen, dearie" the lady recited from memory from behind the desk.
