Ch. 1 Encounter

Another boring day in orchestra. I thought to myself. Everyone had their instruments ready to start our rehearsal. Sometimes I hate being in orchestra because nothing interesting ever happens. It's always the same routine over and over again. I sometimes wish something new could happen for once.

"Alright class lets play our G major scale in half notes." Mrs. Newton announced. Today I notice Mrs. Newton being a little uneasy, which is odd. I didn't understand why though. She never acts like this.

At times like these I love sitting all the way in the back of the orchestra. No one pays too much attention. So if I make a mistake or miss a note no one will notice. Mrs. Newton puts all her attention on the first chairs. (Which are the best players in the orchestra). Our fall concert is only a week from today and Mrs. Newton wants it to be perfect; So we have been practicing hard. I've been practicing Claire de lune by Claude Debussy. That was my favorite classical song.

"Good job class. Now I want all of you to practice Claire de lune while I'm gone. When I come back I better hear each of you playing. Understand? Good. Michael you're in charge while I'm gone."

I try not to laugh. It was funny when I saw Mike blush. He always complained about having his mother as the orchestra teacher at Forks High school. He begged his mom to teach at a different school. But Mrs. Newton wants to be close to her son. I couldn't imagine Charlie being a teacher here I would feel humiliated if he started talking about my stupid clumsiness.

Once Mrs. Newton left everyone got up and walked over to their friends and started talking. I saw Mike coming my way.

"Bella are you still going to see the youth symphony this Saturday?" Mike asked.

"Um. . . I'm not sure yet."

"C'mon Bella it will be fun. Angela is going with Ben and the rest of the gang have a date expect for Jessica and me. But I was thinking. . . if maybe you would like to come with me." Mike didn't look at me as he said the last part. I keep on telling him I just wanted to be a friends.

"Mike I just want to be friends." I said for the billionth time.

"Can we go as friends then?" He gave me a hopeful smile.

"Mike you should go with Jessica. I know she will love to be your date. Besides I have things to do on Saturday." I didn't like lying to poor Mike. It's nice of him to invite me to places. But I'm not interested.

He seem disappointed with my reply. I could never see Mike as a boyfriend. Mike needed to know that. "Do you really think she will want to be my date?" He asked starting to be happy again.

"Trust me. She will be happy you asked."

"Fine, I guess I should. But are you sure you don't want to come with us?" Mike wasn't ready to give up. I felt sorry for him, I didn't find any boys interesting enough for me to go crazy for.

"I'm sure Mike, just go and enjoy your time."

"Alright I'll try. But it won't be as fun without you there."

Mike went back to his seat next to Jessica. He started talking to her I bet he was asking her out. I saw Jessica smile so big and nodded her head saying yes to his invention. I was happy for her, she always talk about how Mike is such a nice guy and she hoped that one day he'll ask her out. She'll be telling me all the details during lunch time. I started to practice a little, while everyone talked.

All of a sudden everyone stopped talking and I was the only one in the room who kept on playing. I stopped and looked up and saw Mrs. Newton back, but she wasn't alone she had someone following her. All the girls were giggling and whispering to each other. I didn't understand why though I until I saw for myself.

Mrs. Newton had a huge grin on her face as she walked into the room. Once she got to the podium she started talking.

"Alright class as you already notice there is a new student joining us today. His name is Edward Cullen and I would like all of you to make him feel welcome to our class."

I couldn't believe he was here. He looked like a movie star or a model. He had bronze color hair which had a messy look to it. His eyes were a topaz color, he didn't look that buff, but he wasn't wimpy either. He was amazingly beautiful. No wonder the girls were making such a big deal.

As Mrs. Newton was telling us about Edward. He looked around the orchestra. He looked at Angela for a second and laugh quietly like he heard something funny. When he looked at Jessica I saw her faint, good thing Mike was there to catch her. I looked back up and realized we were both staring at each other. He had a puzzled look on his face I didn't understand why, but than he shook his head and looked at Mrs. Newton. Mrs. Newton went to check on how Jessica was feeling.

She told Mike to take her to the nurse. Mike did as he was told and he carried Jessica off. Mrs. Newton than went back to stand next to Edward and ask him to tell something about himself. All the girls were playing close attention.

"Hello everyone. As Mrs. Newton said my name is Edward Cullen. I play the violin and I have brothers and sisters who also play a string instrument. They are not here today, but they will be here tomorrow." He said smiling so beautifully. Showing his amazingly white teeth.

One of the girls raised their hand up and Edward smiled he seem to be trying hard not to laugh.

"Yes, Rachael? Do you have a question?" Mrs. Newton asked.

"Yes, I do it's for Edward. Do you have a girlfriend?"

Everybody started to laugh and than Edward said no he didn't. All the girls cheered, all the guys looked mad, I just rolled my eyes.

"Class settle down. Edward you will be seating in the back." Mrs. Newton pointed to me. I couldn't believe it why did he have to sit next to me. Now all the girls will be jealous of me and everyone will be paying more attention to me. Edward nodded and headed to the back. I was getting nervous, he kept on staring at me as he made his way to where I was seating. I started to feel very conscious.

"Hi Edward um . . . welcome to our class." I said feeling stupid. I couldn't think of anything better to say to this beautiful person.

"Thanks." Was all he said.

We didn't say anything else to each other. Mrs. Newton started our rehearsal again. While we played I was busy hearing how Edward was playing his violin. I could tell he had a lot of talent. I could also tell he had been playing the violin for a long time. I felt like an idiot next to him. I know I'm not the worst violinist but I wasn't amazing either.

"That was a good rehearsal class. Remember to practice, practice. Our concert will be in two weeks. You are dismissed." I felt relieved when Mrs. Newton finally ended class. I couldn't stand Edward's side glance any longer. I didn't understand why he was giving me this frustrated look did I do something to him? Everyone got up and went to put their instrument away in their cases. While I was putting my violin away I heard a musical voice behind me.

"Umm excuse me stand partner."

I turned around and saw Edward smile at me. My legs felt weak for a second.

"Yes?"

"You never told me your name." He laughed. He had a beautiful laugh.

"Oh my name is Isabella Swan, but I like to be called Bella." I smiled back.

"I guess I will see you later Bella."

I was speechless. Everything about him was wonderful. Now I know orchestra won't be boring any more. I can't wait to see him again.
