Bella POV

I had never been able to make friends easily; I just didn't get along with people. My mother had always been my best friend and the only one I had ever needed, but now she was gone and I began to feel alone. At my old school in Phoenix I generally kept to myself – I had a few girlfriends who would invite me to sleepovers occasionally bur that was about it.

So you can imagine how shocked I was when I met she came along.

I was sitting on the plane staring out the window lost in thought when I heard a voice in my ear.

"Hello?...Hello?" And then a giggle when I realized she was speaking to me.

"Oh I'm sorry!" I said, turning around, coming face to face with a tiny girl about my age with short spiky black hair and mischievous looking eyes. "I was completely in my own world"

"That's fine! I thought I'd introduce myself since we're going to be stuck next to each other for the next four hours. I'm Mary Alice Brandon, but if you call me Mary I will happily beat you with these crappy airline headphones", she giggled and grinned at me.

"Well, what am I to call you then?"

"Alice!!" She grinned widely.

"Right well I'm Isabella Marie Swan but I will also beat you with headphones if you call me that. I go by Bella".

"Well now we have that sorted… Where in Washington are you headed?"

"To a place so small I doubt you would have heard of it" I rolled my eyes "Forks".

"You're kidding right?! That's where I live!"

"Are you serious?"

"Yep, I moved there a year ago with my family". I gave her a questioning look which resulted in a quarter hour lecture about her family.

How she and her twin brother Edward were adopted by and I quote "The best parents to ever exist in the history of the whole world". I laughed when she said that but she explained that not many people want to adopt two children at the same time, so she and Edward could easily have been separated. They also had a biological son Emmett who was two years older than them but was like their own brother.

It turns out that all three of them go to Forks High School where I will be going which I was excited to find out – at least I would know someone! Then I thought about it, where else would they go – there is only one high school in Forks. Alice and Edward would be in the same year as me and Emmett two years above us.

When talking about school she asked me about my previous one in Phoenix which then got her started her on boys.

"So Bella…" She grinned cheekily at me.

"What Alice?" I was skeptical and had begun to recognize that look on her face.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" I stared blankly at her for a second and then realized she was so eager for me to answer that she was almost jumping out of her seat. I rolled my eyes at her.

"Of course not" Wasn't one look at me enough to make anyone aware of that answer. Apparently not, Alice looked bewildered.

"What do you mean? Of course not?"

"Well I'm obviously not pretty in the least and I'm not exactly the most interesting of people", I blushed as I said this because I'm sure most people thought I was deadly boring.

"What?!" Alice looked shocked at what I had just said. "Who made you think that? I mean you're absolutely gorgeous even though you obviously are in need of some fashion advice"

"Gorgeous? Whatever Alice, I'm completely plain. And what's wrong with my clothes?"

"Well there's nothing wrong with them, they're just a bit boring… But don't worry Alice is here to save the day, we have some major shopping trips to plan!"

"Um, Alice. I'm not really very good at shopping."

"Duh! That's why I'm here… Don't worry I'm a skilled shopper and we are going to be the best of friends so I'll teach you all I know".

"Sure Alice, I'd love to go shopping with you", Alice's whole face lit up with a grin so big it looked like it would hurt. "Now what were we talking about before? Oh right, do you have a boyfriend Alice?"

Well if that smile was large before it got huge. For the next half hour I listened to an incredibly detailed description of her boyfriend Jasper who was a year older than us. Alice was so excited for me to meet him and I'm sure she would have continued to talk about him but we had arrived at our destination.

Ten minutes later we were walking through the arrivals gate at the airport together when Alice shrieked and dropped her luggage (Which was a substantial amount as she was in Phoenix shopping), before running towards a blond boy and jumping on him. He laughed and kissed her passionately before disengaging himself from her tight grip.

"I missed you so much Jasper!" Alice practically screamed at him.

"I missed you too Al" He said kissed her lightly on the cheek.

"You two sure know how to put on a show" Said a tall bronze haired boy who resembled Alice. "You two were only away from each other for one week".

Alice frowned at him before laughing and hugging him. "Whatever Edward, one day you'll know what it's like".

"I think I know what it's like with you and Jasper, and Emmett and Rose around me".

"Shut up, and come see what I found on the plane". I blushed as they walked towards me and I realized that she was talking about me. "Everyone this is Bella, my new best friend".

"Hi", was all I managed to say before blushing furiously and glaring at Alice. And of course she giggled before announcing that I was her new shopping partner.

Edward looked at me with mock horror in his eyes. "Well Alice, if she is able to survive four hours on a plane with you and still agrees to go shopping the she is something different". I looked confused so Jasper provided an explanation.

"As you may have noticed Alice is more energetic than the majority of people". No kidding. "A shopping trip with her is well…"

"Suicidal", Edward suggested.

"Ed!" Alice glared at him. "Bella is now my best friend so you can't scare her off. Right Bella?"

"Um, yea right" I gulped after hearing of this dreaded shopping trip. "Oh, there's Charlie. I have to go. It was nice to meet you all"

"Yea, you too Bella! And you are coming shopping with me. I'll call you tomorrow!!"

I waved at them as I walked towards Charlie.

We headed towards his police car and began to drive off. I was ready to leave my old life behind and start fresh.
