A/N Hi. This is my first fan fic. :D In the spirit of Twilight coming out today, I decided to write! Yes, British. :P A/U A/H. B/E R/Em A/J – Set in Phoenix High School, Bella is the new girl. She first talks to Edward in PE, and their relationship progresses from there. However, can a male best friend, an army of girls, hormonal males, and a few other problems, get in the way of Bella's and Edward's potential romance? Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight. I'd be incredibly rich if I did. :(

Hell. PE. I have terrible balance and this mixed with sports equalled gravity? What's gravity? It's been a month since I started Phoenix High School. Me and my parents had move to Phoenix, after Charlie got a job promotion with the police force. And I was currently regretting this, as I stood in my PE uniform outside. We were told to run around the field – five times. It was a pretty big field. It was very green, and very beautiful. However, right now I hated it. I told myself that I would come back during dinner, and really appreciate the field. Wild flowers caressed the outside of the field, and looked wonderful. I wanted to change my path, and go to the flowers, and sit by them. That would probably end me up in detention. During four of my laps, I ended up falling flat on my face - several times. However, on the eighth time, a pair of white muscular arms wrapped around my waist and a soft voice spoke: Easy there. Bella isn't it? I nodded, as he helped me back to stand on my own two feet. Facing him, I forgot how to breath.
"My name is Edward Cullen." He informed. I nodded again, what a fool – speechless. I had been staring at Edward for quite a while in all my other lessons, he didn't have to introduce himself. I blushed as he spoke: "Bella? Are you there?" And with that he tapped on my head. I managed to put together a: "Yu-rp." He laughed, it was a beautiful sound. He then said something that shocked me:
"I've been watching you from across the field. You looked like you were struggling with the battle against gravity". He smirked. He got me- that was it.
I argued back: "No, I was barely practicing my... diving skills?"
"Oh, my mistake". Still smirking. "But perhaps you should practice them in water?"
"Perhaps, but I thought I might as well multitask. Plus, it makes running more fun". I sighed, I still had one lap to run.
Edward heard my sigh and said: "I'll carry you." And with that he pulled me onto his back and he was running and carrying me. Didn't I weigh a ton? Poor Edward.
We crossed the finish line, and Edward hadn't even broken a sweat. He put me down, and I leaned over to whisper in his ear: "Thank you." I was feeling a bit sick, he had run quite fast around the field, and flashes of green had caused my vision to blur on several of occasions. As my face left his, Edward's expression stopped. Shocked? Angry? He then leaned over to my ear and whispered: "No worries." My heart stopped and I realised that my face matched Edwards a second early. We both laughed.
"MR CULLEN, MISS SWAN! HERE, NOW!" Coach Clapp yelled from across the field. I glanced up at Edward, who was looking at me, I mouthed: "We're done for."

Monday. I thought, as I awoke. I climbed out of bed, and reached for my iPod. I plugged it into my speakers, and selected, Forever the Sickest Kids. They were a recent favourite to my collection, I had seen them written across Bella's notepad in Biology, even though she sat a table infront, I still hadn't introduced myself. I decided to give them a go. My personal favourite, I don't know about you, but I came to dance – It was true. I didn't know Isabella Swan. But I knew, she preferred Bella. And I knew that I liked her.
"EDWARD, WILL YOU TURN YOUR GIRLY SHIT OFF!" Emmett yelled. I laughed. Bella had devised a rating scale, and they were at the bottom of the list, and were the only band not on my iPod. I switched to a song that Emmett would prefer: Aqua – Barbie Girl. Just then, Emmett burst in, singing: "I'm a Barbie girl!" Then, Rosalie came in. Emmett's girlfriend. Emmett grabbed her hand, leading her out of the room, still singing: "C'mon on Barbie, let's go party!" It was true, she was blonde, fitting the Barbie stereotype perfectly, and Emmett, my brother, was very much Ken. I decided to get changed, if I wanted to get to school on time. I didn't know what to wear today. What the hell. I'll go 'formal'. I put on a white shirt, with a black tie, and some black jeans accompanied with vans shoes. Formal had gone out the window; I now had the musician look going on. A quick mess with my hair, brush of my teeth, and I was out the door. We had all decided to take Emmett's Jeep. Myself, Emmett, Rosalie, Alice – my sister, Jasper – her boyfriend. Jasper was a cool guy, he was like my brother.
We arrived at school to the usual stares and dropped jaws. We got out of the car, and Alice congratulated me on being able to put a suitable fashion together. I was impressed as well. Phoenix High School, joy. The school itself was bad. However, Bella went to the school too, so I believe this was the only reason I still attended. I walked to my first lesson, gym. No doubt we'll be heading outside today. Why Coach makes us go outside in the cold puzzles me.
I changed into my PE kit and headed for the field.
Coach told the class to run around the field five times, anyone who didn't complete the task before the end of the lesson, gets an extra lap. Which was fair, has we had an hour to run around the field five times. However, I glanced over at Bella. She had stumbled, fallen, a thousand times. She would convince herself it was only several. She was on her fourth lap, I'd been watching. She would easily manage to finish the fifth in the time limit; however she would probably hurt herself or someone. I had finish my laps, and decided to go help/introduce myself to Bella.
As she began to fall, I wrapped my arms around her waist.
"Easy there..." Here was my chance. "Bella isn't it?" I spoke elegantly. She nodded, and blushed. Cute. I decided to make the next move, she was probably winded or something.
"My name is Edward Cullen." And I have feelings for you. I decided to leave that bit out. Again, she nodded. Was she still winded? Maybe she's blacked out? But she nodded? Um.. just to make sure.
"Bella, Are you there?" I knocked on her head. She said something. "Yurp." Did she just say yurp? I laughed. She smiled. The most beautifulest thing I had ever seen.
"I've been watching you from across the field. You looked like you were struggling with the battle against gravity". I smirked; I was in for it now.
She finally spoke clearly. "No, I was barely practicing my... diving skills?"
"Oh, my mistake". Still smirking. "But perhaps you should practice them in water?"
"Perhaps, but I thought I might as well multitask. Plus, it makes running more fun". She let out a noise, it sounded like a sigh. I realised she had one lap left and she looked shattered. "I'll carry you" I replied, and with that place her onto my back, and ran.
We had crossed the line, and she had leaned in and whispered: "Thank you." My heart stopped. She was so close to me, yet she didn't understand how I felt. I decided to test her, I did the exact same thing, but replied with: "No worries." Her face was a picture. I hope my face didn't look like that, otherwise my cover was blown. I laughed at the same time Bella laughed.
"MR CULLEN! MISS SWAN! HERE, NOW!" Oh no. Coach Clapp shouted from across the field. I glanced at Bella, and smiled. She replied: "We're done for."
Well, there we go. A first chapter, in my first fan fic. :)
Help me out, tell me where I'm going wrong/right. :) Appreciated.
