"Isabella Marie Swan, you're going to be late for school!" shrieked my mother
I groaned and looked back at the full length mirror. Today is my first day of middle school, a.k.a 6th grade and I was a mess. I wasn't even going to my homeschool back in Los Angeles and I was being forced to go to Forks Middle School in this city named Forks (very creative, right?) because of my mother's stupid job.
Really, what use was it to move to a city in the middle of nowhere to sell paitings? My mom could've easily sold lots more here, but noooo. What my mom wants, my mom gets. My mom is Renee Dwyer, an aspiring painter, and my dad, Charlie Swan, is a cop for the LAPD. Well used to be. I felt even more bad for him because he had to leave his job also, but he loves my mom very much, so he was going along with her plans. I huffed and looked at the mirror again, annoyed. UNIFORM. Our school sent a letter saying that uniform was required, and the ugliest samples of material were sent, grey plaid skirts, and a white button up shirt, and dressy shoes were required, except for P.E, we had to have running shoes. First of all, the uniform was horrrendous, it looked like something a sick cat would cough up, and second, it wasn't...ehm.. flattering.
"ISABELLA!!" Another shriek from mom.
I rolled my eyes and yelled out "Coming!"
I was already self conscious because of my weight, I was always a chubby kid and the uniform was just making that obvious. In my old school, some people called me "fatty" or "lardo" and it always just stuck to me, and I never even told them off because I was the shyest person in the whole class, so I just took it in.
Flashback
"Hey, fatty, why're you eating so much? You wanna get like Mrs. Norbert, huh?" Nicholas screeched,
Mrs. Norbert was the cafeteria lady and she looked like a hippopotamus with a gland problem. Not that I should be talking. I just threw away my lunch and walked away fast, tears already gathering in my eyes.
"Aww, we hurt fatty's feelings" cooed Melissa, this mean girl in my class, who by the way, looked like a toothpick.
"Do I care?" jeered Nicholas.
End Flashback
"Do I care" rang in my ears throughout the whole school year, punching my self esteem lower and lower until it was pretty much gone. I huffed and brushed away the tears that were already starting to form again, no way. This year was going to be different, if anyone made fun of me, I , Isabella Marie Swan, would defend my honor. I ignored my pudgy stomach and smoothed my shirt out, and ran down the stairs, ready to meet my maker (A/N: meaning renee, lol), who was waiting for me with a murderous glare on her face. I gave my dad a hug, who just gave me a gruff "goodbye" and patted my back, and so my mom drove me to school. As we were passing the trees, I smiled to myself and nodded, I had a good feeling about this school. Renee noticed my actions and she smiled.
"Bella, you know my cell phone number in case of anything, and remember, you are a beautiful girl, don't forget that" my mother said in her pep talk voice.
I internally groaned, my mom sounded like those "you can do it" people, which just made things worse and made me feel pathetic, but I gave her a tight smile and nodded. We were at the front of the school and I almost ran out the car, but of course, I gave my mom a kiss, and THEN I ran out. The school was small, exactly what you'd expect from a small town in the middle of nowhere. Kids were in the front, already talking to their friends that they have known probably since they were in diapers. Suddenly, an intense feeling of loneliness coursed through my body, making me sigh and trudge my way toward school.
"Oh my god, the first fat girl. I swear, there's nothing sadder than seeing a thing like that wear a skirt" an unpleasant high pitched voice said.
No. Freaking. Way. I turned around to see who it was and this blonde twig was looking at me with distaste, and her other minions were glaring at me, like if I was a disease. I had been on the school grounds for exactly 3 minutes and the insults had already started. Screw my oath, I was going to walk away because honestly, talking to people like that was just a waste of time, but as I was getting ready to walk away, a small hand grabbed my wrist and spun me around. The little girl was short and skinny to the extreme, but she had kind dark blue eyes and really short jet black hair. She had a blue bow on her head, and she had added a tie to her outfit, and she was wearing ballet flats and leg warmers, everything about her screamed confidence, but what was terrifying now was her expression, it was so mean, i swear i almost peed a little. She was glaring at the girls with an utter look of loathing, and she opened her mouth to say something.
"Hey, you can lose fat, but Lauren, honey, you can't lose ugly!" she sneered.
My jaw literally hit the floor, I was astounded by this little girl who totally stood up for me, Lauren looked as shocked as i must've looked and she was looking for a comeback for the girl's burn, but the girl interrupted her again.
"And you're stupid, too? how unfortunate" and once she said that, she spun around and muttered "come" to me and she dragged me away. I was still dumbfounded, but I complied, and she took me to these stairs behind the boys locker room, and she grinned.
"Sorry about that, I'm not mean, it's just that Lauren needs a taste of her own medicine. Well, a massive dose. My name's Alice, what's your's?" she explained/asked.
"B-B-Bella" I stuttered. Great, how awkward, but nevertheless, she smiled at me and patted the stair to motion me to sit down.
"I haven't seen you around, are you new in town?" she asked, looking at me curiously.
"Yes, I'm from L.A and this is my first time ever being in Forks" I mumbled. she grinned and started clapping.
"Oh Bella! I know we're going to be great friends, I can feel it! Let me introduce you to my brothers Emmett and Edward, Edward is in our grade, you see I just skipped a grade, I should be in 5th grade, and Emmett is in seventh grade, and he's really cool, I'm sure we'll all get along!" she chirped, bouncing up and down, and I had no choice but to laugh with her, I finally made a friend. A booming laugh startled me, and I turned around to see two boys coming toward us, one was tall, with curly brown hair and kind brown eyes, while the other boy was my height, and also kinda pudgy, but he had bronze colored hair and twinkling green eyes. They both stopped talking when they finally took me in, and I blushed. Maybe they wouldn't want to include me in their little group? I peeked at their expressions from under my lashes, and they instantly looked friendly, impish, even. Alice was grinning and she made a wild hand esture and in a grand voice she said,
"I present you, Bella! She's new, and she's in the sixth grade!" she boasted.
I grinned and nodded gratefully. The tall one instantly gave me a hug, and he was all smiles, and he chuckled at my reaction,I had stiffened up. He instantly said:
"YOOO! My name is Big Daddy E and I rock this houseee!" he said, trying to sound gangster.
I cracked up, clutching my stomach, and Alice scoffed, while the other boy laughed.
"Whatever, Emmett! My little toe is more gangster than you!" she declared, which almost killed me because his expression then turned all puppy like and he pouted. Edward snorted and he cleared his throat.
"I'm edward, forgive my idiotic brother, he's chemically imbalanced, making him more of a retard than he already is" he smirked, wiggling his eyebrows.
I thought I was going to die. These three kids were hilarious! Emmett was still pouting, while Alice looked at both of her brothers with a face of mock distate. It was obvious that they all loved each other very much, and they were all very inviting toward me. The bell rang and Emmett needed to go to the other side of the school, so he left, but as he was walking away, I had a surge of confidence.
"You know that you can't be late, this school is the size of a small shoe box!" I yelled out.
He turned around and grinned, shrugging. I laughed, and Alice and Edward joined in with me. Finally, I took out my schedule, and so did Alice and Edward.

Alice squealed, we all had classes together, which was a relief because they seemed to be the only nice people so far. Edward was impressed by my schedule, and I stuck my tongue out at him, because one thing that I have never been is dim witted. I raised my eyebrows at the Piano part of his schedule and he stuck his tongue out too, I shrugged and smiled, and mentally cringed at Alice's Ballet class. I couldn't even walk across a flat surface, let alone dance across it, and Edward noticed my face, and he snickered. Alice finally looked at us and raised her eyebrows, and gave us a knowing look. I blushed and looked away, embarrassed. We all started to walk toward our homeroom, and Edward went to the left hall, meanwhile, Alice and I chatted to the right. There were other cool people too, like this one girl named Angela, and this other kid named Ben, you could totally tell they liked each other but were too shy to admit it. Homeroom was unbelievably fast and Alice pouted.
"Darnnit! Edward is going to hog you for two hours! Not that you seem to mind..." and she waggled her eyebrows like a villain from Vaudeville, making me blush.
"Nuh-uh, no way, Ali, I'm too much of a woman for him" I replied nonchalantly, which made her giggle.
"Darn tootin'!" and she gave me a huge hug and left.
I smiled to myself and walked to my first period, and once I got inside, I scanned the room, looking for his mop of bronze hair, but I couldn't find him, so my shoulders slumped, embarrasingly enough.
"Looking for me?" asked a voice right next to my ear, and I jumped, and he was there, grinning mischieviously. I huffed and poked his side, which he dodged. he led me to his desk, and with a flourish, he showed me my seat.
"There are assigned seats?" I asked, bewildered.
"No, you're just my captive for these two periods." he said, with an impish smile.
I gave him a sarcastic smile, and sat down, and class started, but we weren't paying attention, we were passing notes.
(A/N:Bella,Edward)
So tell me about yourself, Bella. Or would you rather me call you, Isabella? Or Izzy?
I cringed, hell no!
Bella is fine... EDDIE:)
It was his turn to cringe
Oh, ugh. Only Emmett calls me that, Ali sometimes calls me that to mess with me :P
riiight. i bet you secretly LOVE being called EDDIE. EDDIE EDDIE EDDIE!! :D
alright, alright, IZZY, you want to start something with me? you think you can handle this?
why yes, i do :)
because frankly, Bambi is fiercer than you...
hey! Not Eve-
"Ms. Swan! Mr. Cullen! Passing notes is not tolerated in my class! Will I need to separate you guys?" yelled Mr. Zengierski.
"No, sir, that won't be necessary" replied Edward smoothly, but he slyly winked at me.
yes, MR. CULLEN, don't forget to leave me alone, okay? you are proving to be a distraction to my education
well Ms. Swan, if I was such a distraction, why don't you move? he hasn't written down a seating chart...
no. I rather like the view from this desk, YOU move.
I do too... I suppose we just have to live with these arrangements, am I right?
I grinnned, looking at him from the corner of my eye, he was grinning too.
I think I'm actually going to like this arrangement, EDDIE.
same here, IZZY.
That was the beginning of my hectic friendship with Edward Anthony Cullen.
