Alice and Rosalie where over early this morning. It was first day of senior year; we needed the extra time to look extra delicious. Yes, we liked to make a statement, make sure everyone knew who we were. Being the three most wanted girls in the school was what we were known for and being the only one single out of us three I had just taken the title 'Most Wanted' at school. I wasn't about to let anyone regret their decision.

I wasn't always popular; I came to Phoenix around two years ago. I used to live in a small town called Forks but moved here when my parents died to stay with my cousin Rosalie. I was always quite confident but I was never popular at Forks, I longed for sunny weather and whenever I had to chance I would beg my mum to drive organize a weekend in Phoenix at Rosalie's house. Seeing as that was most weekends, I never really made friends with anyone in Forks but I managed to meet many of Rosalie's friends, including the infamous Alice. Thus making the transition from Forks to Phoenix rather easy and I was able to fit in at school right away.

'Bella your look amazing, definitely were that leather mini skirt, but maybe change into the over sized white, men's suit shirt with and then keep all that jewellery and wear your black ballet flats. Don't you think Rose?' Alice said taking my thoughts away from Forks and back into my current fashion dilemma.

'Oh Bella, the boys will drool' Rose squeaked chucking me another black bangle and my eyeliner.

I laughed at their enthusiasm, to think that two years ago I was still in runners, torn jeans and a plain shirt. Rose slipped into her new lace leggings and chucked on an over sized, no shape white shirt she stole from her boyfriend Emmett, teaming it with black pumps and red lipstick. She always seemed to make the simplest of things look incredibly stunning.

Alice rolled up my sleeves and babbled on about Emmett's cousin Edward that was coming to stay at hers while his parents built their new house in town somewhere. Alice was amazing; she had a talent to know exactly what would look good on anyone before they ever tried it on. She wore the perfect white dress with lace trimmings that flowed over her perfect, petite body to mid thigh and wore black gladiator sandals that came up to mid calf. Her short hair, spiked up slightly as if she woke up with perfect bed hair.

Rose's phone buzzed and before she could answer we all had our bags and were ready to go. Emmett was out the front waiting leaned up against his big jeep, looking like a rather buff super model. Rose worked her way to his embrace and giggled when Emmett whispered, no doubt something rather promiscuous inter her ear. Rose gave Emmett a passionate kiss and jumped into his jeep without opening the door. Smoothly I might add, I would have missed and fell flat on my new skirt.

Jasper (Alice's boyfriend and Rose's brother) made his way to Alice. He wolf whistled and used his finger to single for Alice to turn. Alice, a little too seductively than necessary spun and squealed when Jasper gave her a small pat on her bum. She gave him a small pout and then rushed into his arms before their lips met for a short while and then made their way to Alice's yellow Porsche. I liked that about them, no need for a major display of affection like Rose and Em, just quick and sweet.

Both cars took off and I made my way to the garage. I had traded in my red Chevy for a more up class car. I had inherited a lot of money from my parents and was paid rather generously by the Hale's to work as a part time secretary in their law firm. I had earned myself quite a bit of money and treated myself to the F430 Ferrari. Okay, so I guess it was a little bit more of an upgrade than I made out but the car was amazing. It was black and was fast, which is something I had come to love about cars since test running Alice's Porsche.

I promised Emmett I would pick up his cousin on the way to school, so I dropped past Emmett's house to pick up the mystery Edward. I made my way to the curb and was met with quite the surprise, Emmett never mention or maybe I never listened, that Edward was drop dead gorgeous. If he were anything like Emmett there was no chance we would get along as anything more than friends. The thought that I couldn't be with someone I was attracted to, made me shiver, being popular I was used to getting what I wanted.

Edward opened the door and I noticed his mouth was gaping at the car. I was used to this reaction, it was a nice car, and I still stared at it a little longer than needed whenever I saw it.

'Sorry, my car is at the new house. I forgot to ask Emmett to drive with me to go pick it up.' He practically sang, 'nice ride, it's the….' He turned to face me and lost his words. I couldn't help but grin when I found that he was even more amazed by myself than the car. Lost for words, like most boys. I laughed to myself. But then he smiled, kind of crookedly and dipped his head a little to catch my attention. My eyes were locked, he was extremely stunning and his eyes were an endless green. I felt my stomach fill with butterflies and I inwardly growled at myself for feelings so foolish. I pulled myself from his gaze.

'The F430 Ferrari, yup. Don't worry about the lift; I'm sure you would rather this than listen to a Rosalie and Emmett conversation for 20 minutes' I said, revving the engine for effect, 'it can get quite graphic.'

'Oh' Edward cringed, 'I have heard a couple of those recently, to graphic for my liking.' We both laughed and I raced down the street towards school.

We didn't speak much after that, Edward asked a little about Phoenix and I questioned his reasons for moving and where he moved from. Of course I already knew Emmett had given us the information. Edward's father, Dr. Carlisle Cullen is a rather famous surgeon and was offered a job opportunity in a very renowned hospital in Sweden somewhere, Edward had lived there with his mother, Esme and his father for 2 years before Esme was asked or rather offered to volunteer in Africa as an English teacher in a small primary school, Carlisle followed to help out and lecture young doctors in the nearby hospital and Edward followed for the experience. Now the doctor was offered a very high paid position at the Phoenix hospital part time and as a part time professor at one of the Phoenix universities.

Through all this, I could feel a small electric pull between Edward and I. It felt uncomfortable but pleasant all at the same time. I thought it might be the air temperature in the car and I started fiddling with the controls, but that wasn't it. Maybe it was just the car traveling over the road, however it never eased and it started to feel more like a tingling on my skin, urging me to move closer to Edward. I concentrated on the road and distracted myself by asking Edward more about the construction of his new house.

We arrived at school and I parked between Emmett and Alice, who were all waiting for our arrival. They all looked rather cheeky with their big grins spread across their faces as Edward and I hopped out of the car. I knew that face too well; I wonder what they are up to.

EPOV

Emmett said I would like Bella, but he didn't tell me about her car. That was the first surprise, the car was unbelievable I almost thought Bella was a boy, there was no way a girl could be so fucking equipped in the car division. Then I was even more surprised when Bella wasn't just a girl, but a fucking hot one. No the word 'hot' is too casual to describe her, she was gorgeous, beautiful, but she wouldn't look at me. I dipped my head and smiled to catch her attention. Maybe I shouldn't have been so persistent, when I finally caught her attention I was hooked. Her eyes were a deep brown that I felt myself getting lost in. I almost asked her to skip school and spend the day with me but realized I might freak her out.

She broke my gaze and pulled out, we shared little conversation after that. However I could feel this electric pull between us. It started off subtle and I thought it might be just the temperature in the car, but before I could start to fiddle with the controls Bella did. Maybe she felt it too, it still didn't help. The electricity was still there and it started to feel more like a tingling sensation, images of touching Bella flashed through my mind. I cursed myself for thinking such things; she was practically a stranger and Emmett's girlfriend's best friend. I couldn't let my hormonal self take control, although it seemed to feel a little more than something hormonal …. Shut up Edward.

We arrived at school, it was big, big buildings, big grounds, big everything. Bigger than the school in Africa, obviously but still surprising. We got out of the car and were greeted with a four cheeky grins. I recognized Emmett's grin as one he normally used when he had some clever plan he was hiding, I gathered that as all the others had similar grins something was going on. I would get it out of Emmett later.

I turned to thank Bella for the lift and noticed her eyeing her friends; she must have seen the same grins I saw. She turned to me and we exchanged a worried glance.

'Edward, my man!' shouted Emmett giving me a rough shake and then putting his arm on my shoulder and standing by my side, 'this is my foxy lady Rosalie' Rose winked and then gave Emmett and angry look for calling her a "foxy lady", 'this is Jasper and his lovely little girlfriend Alice' Alice gave Emmett another angry glance and then smiled excitedly in my direction, while Jasper shook my hand. Then Emmett turned to Bella, nudged me and said 'of course you have met our lovely, single Bella' Bella raised her eyebrow at Emmett as if to say what are you implying? And then turned to Alice and Rose to head to class.

Jasper said bye and chased after Alice while Emmett and I headed to the office to sign me in. Emmett asked me what I thought of Bella. I told him I was impressed by her car and even more impressed by how beautiful she is. Emmett told me how if I was lucky I could get with the "most wanted girl in school" I laughed at his involvement in school cliques. I know as much as he loved the attention he got from being with one of the hottest girls in school, he also was completely in love with Rosalie and would do anything for her.

When I had my timetable I made my way to my second glass, the office ladies liked to talk. When I walked into biology I noticed Bella was sitting by herself. The teacher introduced me to the class and gave me the seat next to Bella. I felt slightly happier than I thought I should have. We exchanged a smile and before I could start a conversation the teacher explained that we were starting senior biology with a movie about the human anatomy. When the lights we our and the movie had started the electric buzz came back again. I knew Bella felt it too because she shifted and looked around the room to see if anyone else had noticed. Her gaze finally caught mine and she gave me a look as if to ask if I could feel it too, I couldn't help myself, I smiled crookedly and I was pretty sure it came out a little more seductive than friendly.

We turned our attention to the screen; I was trying desperately to resist the urge to touch Bella. I stole a quick glance at her, only to see her looking down at something. I slowly moved my gaze to where she was looking at saw that our chairs had moved closer together, it was obvious we had both moved with out noticing as we met in the middle of the desk. I had the feeling that wasn't all she was looking at and then I felt a squeeze, I looked up at her and realized she was trying to tell me something. I looked down at my hand and realized our hands were interlocked and I found myself squeezing back. The sensation of being closed to her was more than I had expected, the electricity increased and I felt myself wanted to touch her more.

The lights turned on and we quickly pulled apart, I was too busy trying to distract myself that I didn't really know how long we had been sitting so close, hands interlocked and all. All I knew was there was something about Bella and I wanted to find out what.

We rushed out of class and began walking together. Fast, real fast. I don't know who was leading who but I sure as hell didn't know where I was going but it didn't seem like she was concentrating either. I rounded a corner and stopped, Bella came immediately after and hadn't noticed my sudden halt. She ran straight into me, I caught her before we both fell to the ground.

The electricity started again and I pinned her to the wall. Her hands moved over my chest and around my neck as she interlaced her fingers through my hair. She pulled my head closer and licked her lips and like a good little boy I granted her request and lowered my head so my lips were moments from hers. I moved my whole body up against her and slowly touched my lips with hers, her grip tightened and I brushed my lips against hers again before I slowly began to kiss her jaw, making my way to her collarbone. She groaned a little and I made my way back to her lips. I stared into her eyes, resting my forehead on hers, she licked her lips again and I could see they were already fuller than they were 15 minutes ago in class.

She licked her lips again and I couldn't restrain myself any more, I moved even closer and let our lips touch. First I was gentle, but there was a certain urgency as though we had been waiting forever to kiss one another. I quickened the pace and the electricity became stronger. I licked her bottom lip asking to deepen the kiss. She parted her lips slowly and I could feel her warm breath. She slid her tongue out and between my lips then tilted her head so I could do the same with her. She tasted sweet and addictive, I wanted more. I moved my hands around her body, making sure not to touch certain areas I still had some self-control. She started to run her fingers through my hair and rubbing my neck, sending goose bumps down my spine. I deepened the kiss even further.

Then I wondered if she could even breathe with my weight against her and I wondered if standing on her tippy toes was starting to hurt. I swiftly picked her up and turned around to slide down the wall. With her straddling me I could feel the electricity pumping around us now and my excitement was becoming visible. She felt the heat beneath my pants and moved her hips over the restrained area. I moaned in delight and pulled her lips closer to mine. I realized that we hadn't parted lips once and I slowly pulled away.

Both of us huffing we looked at each other and I smiled. She was beautiful when she was all flustered, her hair was slightly messy from my fingers running through it and I felt it was my duty to flatten it out. As I swept away a piece from her face she blushed. I have never seen anything more adorable, I loved the shade of pink she had turned and I couldn't resist the urge to give her one last kiss.

We both knew that our absence wouldn't go unnoticed and I carefully lifted her off of me. I gazed into her eyes one more time as I stood up and then we dusted ourselves off. She then turned around looking a little lost and confused.

'Oh shit, I don't know where we are' she said still puffing. We both knew there was nothing to be said now of what had just happened, 'okay go back that way,' she pointed in the direction that we came. We walked to the cafeteria and she quickly made her way to Alice's side, as she sat down she glanced up at me and smiled. I took the seat next to Emmett who gave me a worried glance.

'Where have you two been?' asked Rosalie, winking at Emmett.

'I was just showing Edward around, because Emmett here forgot the grand tour this morning' Bella said giving me a quick wink.

'Oh, well sorry but I happen to have classes too.' Emmett defended himself. Everyone rolled their eyes.

'Hey Bells what happened to your hair?' Alice asked. Bella blushed again; she was so adorable when she was embarrassed.

'Alice, you know Bella doesn't like to talk about how clumsy she is' Jasper said, sending Bella a wink, which made Bella blush even more.

'Was it the logs outside the library? Jasper I win the bet, I told you Bella would fall over those logs soon enough' Emmett rambled on while Jasper paid him a full $20.

I glanced over at Bella, I thought she should be offended but she looked quite content that the attention had been redirected away from her not so neat hair. She looked up at me with a warm smile.

'Hey Edward, do you need a lift home?' she asked softly.

'Yeah, thanks' I replied and the bell rang.

At the end of the day, Bella's hair was now a subject long gone. Emmett and I made our way to the car park to find Alice, Rose and Jasper crowding around Bella's car. From what Emmett and I could hear it sounded like Bella got hurt in gym. I don't know why but I suddenly felt very protective of her and I picked up the pace. Emmett hardly noticed, as he too was impatient to see what was going on. Bella had a huge bruise across her stomach and was still struggling to catch her breath. She had been hit in the stomach with a badminton racket and I felt a sudden flush of anger towards who ever had done this to Bella. Bella looked up at me as I approached, she smiled and then told everyone she was fine and that she just wanted to get home.

BPOV

Edward got in the car and gave me a worried glance. After what happened today, I thought that I should feel awkward around him, maybe even a little freaked out. All I felt was incredibly close to Edward, when I got hit in gym all I wanted was to be in his embrace. I feel pathetic and stupid; I don't want to let myself go like this. How can one guy have this effect on me, I get to affect them, not the other way around. They chase after me, I don't want to chase after them, that isn't the way it works. But I wouldn't have to chase after Edward because obviously he felt the same way about me. I felt stupid for thinking being with Edward would be like a game, like any other guy I have dated. But Edward was different, I hardly knew him but I knew that he was different to them. There was a spark between us, we both felt it, and hell we even acted on it. Subconsciously I might add. I wanted to stick to the rules with Edward, play a game of chase or battleship. But Edward and I had already broken the rules, I was a senior, I make my own rules now and those silly games where junior girl talk. I couldn't care less what Rose and Alice think, they had someone they both loved. Although Jasper and Emmett chased them around like lovesick puppy dogs for a couple of months, I wasn't going to do that to Edward. So by now I am certain of only two things, one Edward was different to any other guy he wasn't some fling, the electricity we shared was something I didn't want to loose, I may never find that again and two that I wasn't a junior girl anymore, I had to be mature about this and make my own rules to follow.

Edward broke me out of my thought when he place his hand over mine beginning another flame of electricity in the car. I looked over at him and saw that he looked worried. I gave him a large grin, which he returned. He looked so sexy when he smiled crookedly. I couldn't help myself, my face turned red, I'm sure of it. That never happened before Edward. I glanced down and laughed quietly to myself, then Edward dipped his head and I looked up at him through my lashes, biting my lip. I don't know what came over me but I couldn't help but feel seductive. I had a feeling that whenever I was with Edward I was going to act on impulse, something I would have to learn to control. He squeezed my hand and I leaned in closer to him and looked up to find him inches from my face. I tilted my head and licked my lips; it seemed to work before when I wanted a kiss. He caught on to my request and dipped his head lower so our lips touched and we began to press and move them against each other. It was a soft kiss, not as urgent but still as passionate as it was before. We broke off; both smiling and I put the car into drive. I sped out of the car park and towards Emmett's house.

'It is electric like, this feeling. I can't help it, I'm sorry if I frightened you. I hardly know what I'm doing when I get this feeling. I just have an urge to touch you' I heard his velvet voice whisper and I glanced at him. He was looking down, slightly embarrassed with his honesty I guessed. I looked a head again.

'I felt it this morning in the car, and in the classroom, I felt it when we were kissing. It grows stronger when you are near and even stronger when you touch me. I can feel it right now.' I shifted in my seat at the slight embarrassment of being so honest, 'it feels uncomfortable, and not because it is unpleasant but because I'm resisting the urge it gives me to touch you.' We came to a red light and as I slowed I looked over at him. He was smiling at me, again and I smiled back. It felt relaxing to be with him; I could let my guard down. He was a stranger yet I felt like I knew him all too well.

'Yeh, it's fucking amazing. The feeling that is. I have never felt it before' he said smiling.

Then the light went green and in no longer than 2 minutes I had pulled into Emmett's drive way. We sat in the car gazing into each other's eyes for what felt like forever. He was devastatingly handsome, his bronze ruffled hair, green eyes. I looked down over his body for the first time today. He wore dark denim jeans and white v-neck top. He looked toned, but not buff like Emmett or too lanky like other boys in my year (we called them late developers), he was tall and he had a dazzling smile. In the rear view mirror I could see Emmett's jeep coming down the road, I sighed and Edward realized what I was looking at. He cupped my cheek and lifted my head to his gaze, and then he left a passionate kiss on my lips.

'Goodbye Bella Swan' he sang, how did he know my last name?

'Bye' was all I could choke out as my heartbeat was going 100 miles an hour.

He left a quick kiss on my hand then squeezed it as he opened the door. Then he walked around the car back to the house. I sat holding the steering wheel catching my breath and waiting for my heart beat to slow down. Suddenly there was a tap at the window and I jumped, I looked out to see who it was and there was Edward chuckling at my reaction. I let the window down.

'Yes?' I asked in the smoothest voice I could think of.

'Tomorrow I will pick you up' then he smiled and walked away looking very pleased with himself.

I stared after him, trying to capture the events of today and figure out what had happened for it to end up like this. I think I had completely changed myself from this morning. But I'm not complaining.

'Excuse me?' boomed a voice that was inches from my face. I jumped; again if anyone else scares me today I'm going to have a heart attack.

'EMMETT!! You scared me' I fumed.

'Wooah sorry Bells didn't mean to scare you' Emmett apologized and then his face went from apologetic to cheeky, 'did I catch you ogling at my cousin's back side, Miss Swan?"

'Hmmm maybe,' I replied slyly licking my lips and winking at him before revving my engine and taking off down the street.

That's the end of chapter one.
