Bella

I sat in the parking lot listening to my iPod, waiting for school to start. I had my head tilted back and my feet were resting on the dashboard. I had gotten here early wanting to get away from my father Charlie. Lately he had been hounding me on giving his best friend billy's son, Jacob a chance, apparently he has a crush on me but I didn't like him like that. Plus Jacob was way too young, like two years younger than me. He was really starting to piss me off with all the nagging. I felt like my head was going to explode. So before I could say anything I would regret I decided to just head to school early. I was so absorbed in my music that I nearly jumped out of my skin when I hear a tap on my window and I look to see a girl my age that I have never met staring at me sheepishly. My heart was beating frantically from her surprise attack. She was pretty and could only be described as Fairy like pixie. She had spiky, dark brown hair and a small framed face. Her eyes were dancing with excitement and happiness and she had a cute button nose. I open my door confused as to why she wants my attention. I waited for my heart to go back to normal before I open the door. No telling what sh might do and give me a heart attack. Before I even have my foot on the ground she was talking away at a hundred miles an hour and I gawked at her in astonishment. I have never heard anyone talk as fast as she is right now.

"HI my name is Alice. I was wondering if you could show me and my family around and if we could sit with you at lunch. I can't wait to get to know you we are going to be such great friends!"She says all in one breath. She was bouncing around on her tippy toes like a ballerina with her hands behind her back. I don't know what to say. I have no idea what she just said. I just stared at her, my brows furrowed, my brown eyes blinking rapidly and my mouth ajar.

"W-what?" I finally manage to say but not without stuttering.

A guy with dirty blonde hair came up from behind her and wrapped his arm around her waist. She immediately calmed down and relaxed back into him with a content smile. He looked at her with complete adoration. It was actually really adorable. They obviously loved each other and someday I want to have that with my own special someone.

"Alice slow down honey...I don't think she heard a word you just said."he chuckled and looked at me."I'm Jasper."he introduce himself as three other people came over to stand next to them."This is Emmet, Rosalie and Edward."he motioned to each of them with his hand, showing me who is who. waved my hand at all of them and got a good look at each of them. Emmet was huge but you could tell he was just a giant teddy bear. Rosalie could be a model she was so beautiful. They all took my breath away but when I got to Edward my heart sped up so fast I was afraid it would jump out of my chest and my stomach felt like there were butterflies in it. He was the most gorgeous man I had ever seen. His eyes were a vibrant green and shined brightly but I could see grief and sorrow in them and I wondered what could have happened to make him so sad. For some reason seeing him sad made me sad and I wanted to be able to take it all away. I don't know where all of these feelings are coming from, I just met him.

"I'm Isabella but you can call me Bella..."I trailed off not knowing what else to say. They were all looking at me like they were trying to figure something out and it was starting to creep me out."So you just moved here?"I say trying to break the awkward silence but I realized how stupid that question was. Of course they just moved here. Unless they had been invisible this whole time. I wanted to smack myself on the forehead but I refrained not wanting look like an even bigger idiot.

This time the big one, Emmet speaks up with a big goofy grin on his face. "Yup just moved here from New york!"his practically yelled his voice echoing through the tree's. Holy shit! They moved here from NEW YORK. How do you get used to that big of a change. New York is huge and Forks is well pretty much the size of a fork. I would be freaking. Why would there parent want to do that?

"Wow that's a pretty big move. So do you guys like it here so far? I mean compared to New York?"I asked blushing furiously. They were all staring at me. I hated being the center of attention. Something bad always happens. Like I will trip over my own two feet or a bird will shit on me. Something always happens.

"Yeah it is a pretty big change for us but we love it here. I've always wanted to live in a small town where everyone knows everyone. A lot less drama and all that."Alice says still grinning wildly at me. It's kinda hard to not like her. She is just one of those people where everyone loves her and I can tell I'm gonna be sucked into her little trap like everyone else. Not that, that is a bad thing. The opposite actually, it will be good to have a friend other than Jessica Stanley and her slutty friends Lauren and Tanya. Well Lauren was alright. She wasn't a bitch like the other two and could be nice when she wanted too. I was closer to her than Jessica or Tanya.

"Ummm your right about everyone knowing everyone but I don't know about no drama. At least not with the town sluts." My eyes widen and I slap my hand over my mouth realizing what I had just said. They probably think I am a bitch now and won't want to be friends with me. I don't know why I am so disappointed in this fact. It would have never happened anyway. They are all so perfect and I'm...well I'm not. I'm surprised when I hear them all laughing, including Edward, instead of glaring at me and walking away like I thought they would.

"Are you talking about them?"Rosalie says pointing behind me. My eyes widen in horror and I turn around to see three girls glaring at me Crap! What am going to do? They look pissed. I nodded slowly answering Rosalie's question. Yup these were definitely them.

"Excuse me Isabella? Did you just call us fucking slut because as I recall your one of us. So if were sluts you must be one too!"Jessica hissed. Glaring even harder at me. Tears were forming in my eyes. I was so embarrassed. I looked down and just took everything they were throwing at me. I deserved it. They had been nothing but nice to me and I repay them by calling them sluts. Usually I wouldn't take shit like this but today I just really didn't feel like putting p a fight.

"No Isabella will not excuse you, you bitch! She was only speaking the truth. I mean look at what you are wearing. You couldn't get any more sluttier than that. You might as well come to school naked!"Alice Says back. Oh my god! What is she doing? Doesn't she realize what this will do to her? Jessica will make her life a living hell! I've seen it happen before.

"Who the fuck are you!"Jessica demands. Shit shit shit. That's all that is running through my head.

"My name is Alice Cullen and Bella is my best friend! So you better leave her alone!"I quickly grab Lauren by the arm and drag her to the side where no one can here us. I can't believe this is happening on there first day and is all because of me.

"Oh my god can you please just take Jessica and Tanya and go. I'm sorry I didn't mean to call you a slut. I only meant Jessica and Tanya."I pleaded with her looking back at the Cullen's and my ex friends. They were all staring at us and I quickly looked away, focusing on Lauren.

"You really don't think I am a slut?"she asked looking at me trying to see if I was telling the truth. I wasn't but anything to stop this whole bitch fight that I had caused.

"No I do not think you are a slut now can you please...?"I motioned over to Jessica and Tanya. She sighed and we walk back over to them. Tanya is gazing at Edward, biting her lip and jealousy flares up in me. Why am I feeling this way? I look back in forth between the two and see that Edward is looking any where but Tanya. She is making him nervous and I my jealousy is immediately replaced by sympathy and maybe a little amusement. Poor Edward. Jessica is standing with her hands on her hips and looking at Lauren with her eye brown raised like what the hell?

"Jess let's go. Isabella isn't worth our time."Jessica nods in agreement and they both walk away flipping their hair over their shoulder's at he same time. Tanya follows reluctantly but not before winking at Edward making him uncomfortable.

"Alice you shouldn't have done that."I tell her softly not wanting to hurt her feelings. I don't want her to think I didn't appreciate what she did because I do. I just don't want her to become Jessica's target this year.

"Why not?"her voice is a small whimper and I look up to see her eyes are watery and her bottom lip is trembling. Shit looks like I hurt her feelings after all. Why do I always do this?

"Because now you are going to be Jessica's target and that's not fair to you. I'm not worth a year of torture Alice."I explain wanting he to know what she is putting at risk by befriending me.

"Oh Bella if that is all you are worried about then you are silly. Jessica and those bitches could never scare me. Right guys?"They all nodded their heads in agreement smiling at me except for Edward. He is just staring at his feet with a gloomy expression.

"Thank you."I say gratefully.

"So maybe you can show us around now?" She asks hopefully. I laugh and nod my head walking towards the school with them following in tow. I show them the whole school before the bell rings. That just shows you how tiny it is."So what classes do you have Bella? Ooooo I hope we have some together!"Alice says bouncing and skipping along side me and yes I said skipping. The rest of them were walking close behind us.

"Let's see first I have math, second English, third Spanish, forth Science and fifth art."I listed them off as they all checked their schedule's.

It was quiet for a couple of seconds before Alice squealed and through hands up in the air."We have two classes together!"She started bouncing up and down and clapping her hands. Wow she gets that excited about something as stupid as getting some classes with me? I wonder what would happen if we had all of our classes together."Edward let me see yours!"Edward hands her his schedule with out a second thought. Does she always boss him around like that?"Hmmm he has 4 classes with you..."She whines with a pout. I suppress the urge to roll my eyes. O.k. so Alice could be really annoying"We have English and Spanish and you and Edward have math, English, Science and art."Well at least Edward and I can walk to some classes together. Maybe I can get to know him since he doesn't talk much with his family around.

The bell rings and Alice hugs me before walking to her class as do the others leaving me and Edward alone. They didn't even say good bye to him. I wonder why they are so mean to him.

"OK so come on."I start walking to math with Edward by my side. We don't talk and the silence is beyond awkward."So do you like it here?"I ask nervously glancing at him from the corner of my eye. He doesn't seem to want to talk to me and I don't want to force him. If he doesn't like me then he doesn't like me. I'm just gonna have to deal with it. Although the thought make my heart die down.

"Yes it's very...nice here."He muttered in a low voice. I could barely hear him. I knew for a fact that he was lying. Nobody liked it here and was most definitely not nice.

"Your lying."I stated. He looked at me shocked.

"What?"He asked.

"Your...Lying."I said slowly I looked at him closely while saying this."What do you really think of this place?"I gave him a look daring him to lie again.

"I hate it. I hate the rain. I hate the people. I hate everything about it."He says all of this while staring at me without blinking. It hurt when he said he hated the people because I am one of those people but at least he was being honest.

"Thank you."I nod at him.

We walk into the classroom and everyone stares at Edward. The girls with lust and the guys with jealousy. I take my seat in the very back and Edward follows me and sits next to me. I raise my eye brows at him."The teacher has to a sign you, your seat."He just shrugs and stays where he is.

The teacher walks in and immediately looks at Edward. He points his finger at him a crooks it forward for Edward to come up to him. Edward looks at me and I move my eyes in the direction of the teacher telling him to go up. He get's up with a grunt and walks over to the teacher slowly. I have to laugh a little. He looks too funny. He shoots a glare at me and instantly stop laughing. He talks to the teacher for a while and then comes and sits back down next to me.

"He's letting you sit here?"Edward looks hurt and for a second I wonder why until he says...

"You don't want me to sit here?'I immediately realize what I must have sounded like.

"No no, ummm it's just that Mr. Anus is pretty strict and will usually sit you exactly where you don't want to go. I'm just surprised that's all but I want you to sit here."He smiles. This is the first time I have seen him smile and it take my breath away. I can't help but smile back.

The class starts and I rest my head on the table and close my eyes. I always fall asleep in this class. I hate math. I'm about to fall asleep when I feel someone poke me in the shoulder. I open my eyes and see a piece of paper in front of me. My stretch out before I open it.

"Are you OK? " I look over to Edward and he is staring at me with concern. I quickly scribble back" yeah I'm fine. I just hate math so I always fall asleep in this class."

He looks at it and chuckle,crumpling up the piece of paper and looking to the front of the class. I close my eyes again and fall asleep. I hear someone whispering my name and nudging my shoulder. What the hell? Suddenly my desk jumps under me and I shoot up, rubbing my eyes and looking all around trying to find the source of whatever is doing that. I look to my right and Edward has his hand over his mouth obviously trying not to laugh. I narrow my eyes at him and hit him on the shoulder. He pretends to be hurt.

"Ow what did I do?"He asks

"You kicked my desk and scared the shit out of me!"

"Class is over. What else was I supposed to do you sleep like the dead."He laughs and stands up grabbing his stuff and then waits for me to follow. I do grumbling to myself the whole way to English. Edward is amused and keeps laughing. That kind of make my mood better. His laugh is like music to my ears.

When we get to English, Alice jumps me hugging me so tight I can't breath. When she let's go of me I look around for Edward but he has already gone into class. I'm disappointed he didn't wait for me but decide I will sit next to him teacher is super nice and let's us sit where ever we want. Alice drags me in and sits down pushing me in the seat next to her. I look for Edward and see him sitting in the back again. It looked like he was saving a seat for someone but when he saw me sit next to Alice his face dropped and he moved his back off of the chair.

I turn to Alice."Actually Alice I was going to sit next to Edward."She looks at me and does a puppy dog face but I shake my head and she looks behind us at Edward.

"Why would you want to sit next to EDWARD."She says his name in disgust. I just shrug, not giving her an answer and grab my stuff standing up and go to the back. When I pull the chair back, Edward's head shoots up and he looks at me surprised.

"Hey."I bite my lip and look at him.

"Why aren't you sitting next to Alice?"He asks his voice dripping with hatred. I wonder why they are so nasty towards each other.

"I wanted to sit next to you."I smile at him and he surprises me by hugging me even tighter than Alice. Except this time I hug him back.
