Edward's POV

First day of junior year in a new school. I love my parent's, I really do, but did they honestly have to subject me to the horror of starting over half way through high school? My father, Edward Sr., was recently promoted to partner in his law firm but the down side to that was that they wanted to open a new location out of state and have him take the reigns. My mother Elizabeth, always the dotting wife, obediently followed dragging my 16 year old self with them.

I was leaving behind my home in Chicago that I had always known and all of my friends who were getting ready to enlist. It made me look like a coward running west towards a land with more opportunities then being shot up in a war, but I really had no choice because when it came down to it family was first, and I was not 18.

So here I am now, it is March 1918 and I am now living in the state of Washington in some god forsaken city called Forks. The population is a mere 400 citizens, so where is the need for a law firm in a city with no people? I truly did not see the need but who am I to argue the bread winner of the family?

Seeing how there was such a small population I was curious to see how their school system worked. With all of my education in private schools my whole life, I could probably teach all of the teachers. Luckily enough, the high school was separate from the elementary school so the young children would not be subjected to the atrocities of teenagers. Yes I have an intelligent head on my shoulders, not to brag, but I am still only 16 and a male at that. My thoughts are consumed mainly by two things war and females.

Coming to a small town from such a large industrial city such as Chicago, I had low expectations to find anyone suitable for my tastes, although I found none in Chicago as well. I know I am attractive to females, only made obvious by their blatant attempts to woe me but I did not like the idea of a girl throwing herself on me when I should be the "gentleman" to woe her.

I took a deep breath and walked up the two stairs of the main entrance of the school. This was a big change already, all my other schools had at least 10 stairs. I shook my head trying not to be so critical and continued down the tiny hall to what I assumed was the office.

A small woman sat at a single desk looking over some papers. I sighed and began to speak, "Hello, I am new to this school." The lady looked up startled by the sudden noise and grabbed her chest. "My goodness dear you spooked me, I am not used to sudden outbursts while class is in session," she replied with a bit of bitterness in her voice. I frowned already knowing I was not getting off to a good start but continued anyways.

"Well I do apologize sincerely madam, but I come from a larger school where noise is always in abundance. My name is Edward Masen." Her bitter face quickly perked up. I knew the mention of my name would change her tone because everyone was anticipating the arrival of my father.

"Oh yes, Mr. Masen we have been awaiting you. You do know that class has already started right" she asked cautiously trying not to sound like she was scolding me.

"Again I apologize, we arrived late last night and it took longer to get settled then we predicted. However, my parents wanted me to get situated in school right away so I could catch up on the curriculum." I knew that was a joke for I had surpassed all that the seniors were to learn and more.

"Very well Mr. Masen. Let me show you how our school works, for it is different from your larger schools in Chicago and simpler. Each grade is composed of around 20 students and is divided by male and female but only during class. Every grade meets at the same lunch time and you will have the same male students in all of your classes." She handed me a small piece of paper that she wrote the class names and room numbers on.

Three classes and three rooms: English, math, and art. How exciting. I frowned at my schedule knowing I would be stuck in each of these classes for hours at a time, thanked the lady and headed to my second class of the day, math.

Of course being new to a tiny school I was forced to introduce myself to the class of 8 boys and the frail old teacher that looked on the verge of death. I took my seat and already started to zone out once I saw they were only on elementary algebra.

Eventually the class was dismissed for lunch and I followed one of the friendlier boys to lunch. His name was Emmett and was very tall and broad for a 16 year old but his personality did not match his exterior. He was the only one not intimidated by me to introduce himself and offer his friendship. I gladly accepted knowing someone this big could not be too boring and I was right because he already had a few jokes and crazy stories about the math teacher in by the time we reached the lunch hall.

When we entered the mediocre room I realized something might not be too bad about lunch either. At my old school there was a private girls' school next door but the only interaction we had with them was before or after school, never during. So this was a pleasant change of pace to have girls to talk to during lunch. That was until I briefly scanned the room and saw nothing but giddy stares by the immature teen girls and rolled my eyes.

I took a seat next to Emmett after we got our food and listened to him chat away with some of the senior boys after he introduced me. I was starting to drift off again while some boring guy started talking about his mother's baking when I heard some laughing coming from the corner of the room.

I looked over and saw a few of the bland girls giggling and pointing at another girl who was sitting alone facing a window. From the back she looked completely different then all the other girls. Her hair was stark black and hung straight down past the middle of her back. She was fairly small and was sitting pretty straight considering the sneers of the other girls. I was usually pretty good at reading people and it was obvious what these girls were doing.

This girl was different, she did not have the typical blonde or brown curly hair as the others so they immediately cast her aside. But the girl seemed to tune them out and not be affected by their crudeness at all. I willed her to turn around, curious to see the face that went with the hair. Emmett interrupted my concentration nudging me at my side. I snapped my face to him with a questioning look on my face.

"Hey Edward, I could not help but notice you staring at the commotion over there. It happens every lunch period. Those immature girls, just ignore them they are no good. That other girl they are laughing at is some what new too so they are taking advantage of that fact. But don't worry, I won't giggle at you." He smiled trying to refrain from laughing at his own joke.

I smiled too, and looked back to the girl with black hair. She was rising from her seat and I saw the briefest glimpse of porcelain skin before her hair covered her face and she exited the room. My brows folded in confusion and I turned back to Emmett. "So what is the story with the new girl?"

He smiled and sighed. "To be honest I really do not know and for a small town like ours, that is very rare. I do know her name is Alice Brandon and she has been in Forks for a month now. She lives only with her mother on the outskirts of town. Her mother only speaks French so no one is really able to gain information from her and Alice rarely speaks outside of school but when translating."

I was instantly intrigued. I knew French, it was a beautiful language and I knew a beautiful girl had to be behind that raven hair. Also the fact there was no father figure made me curious to how they survived. The bell rang and everyone got up to go to the last class of the day as I followed Emmett. I hoped to see the girl, Alice, before class but was unsuccessful.

The next 2 hours of art went by fairly quickly as I was entertained by Emmett once again, drawing cartoonish pictures of the teacher in not so pretty situations. When class ended I said good-bye to Emmett and started to head home, of course only after I scanned the front of the school yard for Alice to no avail.

As I was walking I spotted a glimpse of black hair turn into the trees a few yards ahead of me. I knew it had to be Alice so I quickened my pace to try and catch a glimpse of her. I saw her walking through the trees at a casual pace. She was holding her books in one hand and gently touching the trees she passed with the other. I felt like I was intruding on something private and was about to turn around when she stopped. I stopped as well, too entranced to try and hide as if I were not following her.

That is when she slowly turned around and looked directly at my face. I was still a few yards away but gasped as I saw her eyes. They were the most piercing blue eyes I had ever seen, especially in contrast with her porcelain skin and raven hair. She looked at me and tilted her head to the side with a look of curiosity on her face. Then I heard her beautiful song of a voice ring out, soft but loud enough for me to hear, "Who are you?" she asked obviously not in the know of the new family in town.

"I am, um…me I'm…" I do not know if it was the embarrassment of being caught following her or the beauty of her that made me fumble my words like an ignorant fool but it took me awhile to regain my composure to get a proper introduction out. She stood patiently still staring at me with the same curious expression and waited for me to continue. "Edward Masen" was all I could manage out.

I saw a small smile form on her lips as she contemplated what I told her. "Hello Edward Masen, I am Alice Brandon" she practically sung while lightly cradling her books.

"I am sorry for intruding on your walk, it is just I am new obviously and wanted to meet you since I did not have a chance to at school." I took a few steps hesitantly towards her.

She did not move but seemed to consider my words again. "And why out of everyone else would you go out of your way to meet me Edward?" My name rolled of her tongue like butter and I had a hard time pulling my eyes from her stunning ones down to her equally stunning lips.

"I uh, I well…I saw the incident at lunch and wanted to make sure you were okay. I may be new but I am not stupid. Those girls were being unnecessarily mean, and I figured since you are fairly new too we had something in common." I surprised myself how easily I was able to regain myself in front of her and even more surprised by the truth of what I had said.

Now she took a few steps toward me leaving only 6 feet between us. "Edward I must say that was a very noble thing for you to do and I greatly appreciate it, but I am more than fine. I can handle a few giggles by inane girls, it does not bother me the slightest." I had a feeling this was true by her composure at lunch but she was small and seemed fragile, but her voice was strong and concise so I did not doubt she was fine at all.

"I can see that you are fine now," I smiled at her.

She blinked her blue eyes a few times and smiled back bigger this time. "Thank you Edward. It was nice to meet you, but I must go home now so I will see you at school tomorrow," and with that she turned and continued back into the woods skimming the trees with her free hand.

I stood perplexed for a good 5 minutes before I turned back around and headed home myself. As I walked I could not get her face, especially her eyes out of my head while her voice sung my name over and over. Maybe Forks was not so bad after all.

I arrived the next day at school 20 minutes earlier then necessary. I hoped to see Alice before class started and waited alone by the side of the building as other students began trickling to the front yard. Five minutes before class began I saw her. She was walking at a slow yet graceful pace while her hair gently swayed behind her.

I decided to approach her and walk her up to the front when I felt something hard hit my back. "Hello Edward! It has been a long time hasn't it?" Emmett grinned at me with sarcasm. I forced a smile and looked back to Alice but she was already in the building. "I guess we should head to class," I mumbled to Emmett.

The day went unsurprisingly slow and then lunch finally came. After I got my food I scanned the room for her. I saw her sitting in the same spot as yesterday her back to me. I told Emmett I would meet up with him later and headed to her secluded table. I stood to the side of her and cleared my throat. She slowly looked up with her blue eyes peaking out under her thick dark lashes.

"Edward," she acknowledged me with a smile.

"Hello Alice, well since I am new and you are still…new, I figured we could have lunch together?" She smiled and nodded so I took a seat across from her. I instantly felt the atmosphere in the room shift with all eyes focused on our table, but I did not bother to acknowledge the stares.

"How is your day going?" I asked casually.

She looked me in the eyes with the same smile on her face, "Classes are…how should I put it? Hmmm…classes are very mundane here and I find it difficult to stay awake." Her smile grew bigger and I saw the playfulness in her eyes.

I sat quiet for a second surprised by such an honest answer then nodded my head in agreement. "Yes the same goes for me, I thought maybe the girls' classes might be more entertaining but I see that is not the case." I smiled back at her knowing this was the start of something, a friendship perhaps but it felt different than anything else I had ever experienced.

"Well Edward, I think you and I are going to get along just fine, aren't we?" she asked as if reading my mind.
