Once the bell rang signaling the end of 4th period, I was starving and very glad that it was lunchtime. Before I even got out of my seat, Jessica was at my side smiling at me. She better not be here to ask me to sit with her during lunch. I thought as I looked at her eager face.

"Hey Edward!" She asked as I gather up my books and pencil, throwing them carelessly into my backpack.

"Hi Jessica, what's up?" I said without much enthusiasm as I waited for her to get to the point.

"Oh, not much, I was just wondering if you would sit with my friends and me at lunch? Would you please sit with me?" Jessica asked, she was almost pleading me with her voice and eyes.

I zipped up my backpack and looked back at Jessica and shrugged, "Sure, why not?" I said. Truth be told I didn't know where else I would sit. I didn't really know anyone else at the school because Jessica was always talking to me and hardly ever gave me a chance to talk to anyone else. She wanted to be the center of attention; I just wish she would stop focusing on keeping my attention and notice that I wasn't interested.

I threw my backpack on my shoulders and followed the very anxious Jessica out of the classroom and into the lunch line.

She talked my ear off the entire time we were in line and would ask me questions so I wasn't able to ignore her like I wanted to. She asked me about Chicago and if I missed it. She asked me if I had a girlfriend back home; she was very happy that I didn't. She asked about my parents and my friends. She asked if I liked Forks. Simple and unoriginal questions that I would rather not answer. They were questions that everyone asked and I already had answers prepared in my head; it was like reading a script and I hated acting.

I followed Jessica slowly as we made our way to a table she had basically force me to sit at for the last 4 days. They smiled at me, the girls seemed very pleased to have me sitting with them again, and they were almost smug about it.

I took a bite of my pizza and tried to shut out the conversation that the people at my table were having about an upcoming school dance. I glanced around the lunchroom and noticed the Cullens and Hales making their way to a table. I couldn't help but be captivated by their beauty. I noticed now by closer inspection that they were incredibly pale and had purple rings under their eyes as if they hadn't slept in over a week. That's odd. I thought as I sipped on my chocolate milk carton.

I sat my milk back down as I tried to remember their names, the blonde girl and large guy's names had slipped my mind. I remembered the blonde guy's name, Jasper, and I knew that the short pixie-like girls name started with an A. As I tried to remember the pixies name, the other Cullen came into view. She crossed the cafeteria with a scowl playing across her features and her long dark hair flowing down her shoulders. She was by far the most beautiful girl I had ever seen and, of course, I remembered her name: Bella.

I turned my attention back to my food once Bella sat down; I didn't want to look like a little boy who had just found girls attractive.

"So, are you in?" Jessica asked me. I looked at her confused, I must have missed something, and after all, I was ignoring their conversation.

"What? I'm sorry, I didn't catch what you said." I replied flashing her a crooked smile so she wouldn't be all pissed off that I wasn't paying attention to her. She would probably end up making my life worse if she were mad at me. It worked.

"Did you want to go to the dance with all of us, you know, like car pool?" She said way to perky.

"I don't think so. Dances are not my thing." I responded as I looked back down at my lunch tray. I hated dances, they were always awkward and the music was always awful hip-hop numbers that had terrible lyrics. I shuddered; I hated hip-hop and rap. I liked my music to have taste thank you very much.

I glanced back up at Jessica; she was pouting at me. Like I'd fall for that. I thought, almost smirking at her attempt to make me feel bad.

"What if I told you it was ladies choice?" She said gently placing her hand on top of mine and attempting to smile at me seductively. I pulled my hand out from under hers and rolled my eyes.

"That wouldn't change my mind whatsoever. You guys have fun though." I said. They tried to convince me to go to the dance a few more times but eventually gave up. Thank god. I thought to myself as I glanced around the lunchroom, ignoring the conversation going on around me once again. I couldn't stop my eyes from slowly wandering over to the table that the strange Cullen-Hale family sat at. Bella was staring at me, then in a split second she was looking at her lunch tray. Did I just imagine that?

Before I could answer my own question, I felt a tapping on my shoulder.

"Let's get going to biology, Edward." Lauren Mallory, one of Jessica's friends said. She was trying to be flirtatious with me, gross.

I nodded and stood up, casting one last glance on the Cullen-Hale table; they were still seated looking at the pixie girl with wide eyes, and then followed Lauren out of the cafeteria and headed for the biology room.

.......................................................................................................

One minute I'm minding my own business in the cafeteria and the next I'm looking into the future seeing my dear sister Bella making out with the new guy –who happens to be human- Edward.

Oh my god this is so great! I thought to myself. I knew I couldn't tell her; she would flip a shit! She would stay away from him; she wouldn't let herself be happy. She was always looking after our best interests and not her own. That had to change. I had to come up with something quick. I would also have to stop looking at her like she had a huge smudge of makeup on her face.

"Oh, you're just, uh, going to have a new lab partner." I said. I wasn't lying, I had seen Edward as her lab partner in biology a few days ago, I hoped she would believe me though, I mean I was looking at her like she was a freak.

"That's it, Alice?" Bella asked suspiciously. Oh great, she knew something was up.

I nodded, "Yup, you're going to be lab partners with Edward."

"Um, OK, yeah, next time you have a meaningless vision, try not to look at me like I'm a freak, I thought something was wrong." She said rolling her eyes at me.

"Sorry." I chirped, poking at some french fries on my tray.

"Guys, we better get going. Everyone has left the lunchroom." Rosalie announced, she was already out of her seat and slinging her purse over her shoulder.

I stood up in an instant and grabbed Jasper's hand, he and I had the next class together.

"Would you like us to walk you to biology?" I asked as I turned to face Bella.

"Sure, why not." She replied.

We tossed our lunch trays with our untouched food on them into the trash and headed to class.

Jasper and I dropped Bella off at biology where she gave us a lighthearted wave before disappearing into the classroom. I smirked to myself; she would be meeting Edward in there. I began to contemplate ways that I could sneak a peek at their first meeting but I was sure any of the plans I would come up with, Bella would notice. We were almost to our classroom when Jasper turned to me.

"So what did you really see in your vision?" He asked with a sheepish grin. He must have sensed I had been lying.

I thought about not telling Jasper and just keep it to myself. I didn't know how he – or the rest of my family for that matter- would react to Bella being with a human. I decided to be honest.

"I saw Bella making out with Edward Masen!" I admitted excitedly.

Jasper stared at me for a moment with wide eyes. He looked extremely shocked, which I didn't blame him for because I was pretty shocked as well.

"Jazz, say something please? I think it's great news! Bella has been alone for much too long. Don't you think that its about time she found someone to make her happy?" I said squeezing Jasper's hand lovingly.

"I guess when you put it that way it is a good thing - but it's still extremely dangerous! Shouldn't we warn her?" Jasper said finally.

"Not yet. I'll know when the time is right. I am a psychic after all." I smirked at him before we entered our Math classroom hand in hand.

.........................................................................................................

I entered the biology classroom and went straight up to the teacher, Mr. Banner. I had missed the first 3 days of school and had to find out what I had missed and who would be my lab partner; even if Alice had already told me who it would be.

"Sorry for missing the first few days of school," I said attempting to be extremely sweet, "My family and I were on an extended summer vacation."

"Ah, yes, I got a message from the office about that." Mr. Banner said as he grabbed a manila folder from his desk and flipped through it, pulling out random papers then handing them to me. "That's what you missed so far, Miss Cullen. Please have the work I just gave you done by Monday. Oh, I almost forgot, please sit with your lab partner Edward Masen; he's right over there." He added, pointing over to a lab table in the front of the room where Edward was sitting. Lauren Mallory was perched on the edge of the table chatting away while Mike Newton; a guy that had a thing for me for some reason; was sitting in my chair next to Edward.

I nodded to Mr. Banner and slowly walked over to the lab table. When I was about 10 feet away, I took a deep breath and froze immediately. I had just inhaled the most delicious scent I could ever imagine; I was almost tasting it. I could feel my eyes that were normally amber from the animal blood turn a deep black. My throat burned with thirst as I stared straight ahead. I knew at once that the human emitting this intoxicating scent was Edward; I knew everyone else's scents in my school and in town, it couldn't possibly be any of them. I inhaled once more; he smelled so sweet like sweet spices, a campfire, faintly floral and sugar. It was a truly divine scent; I had to stop breathing.

"Alright, everybody take their seats, please!" Mr. Banner announced from behind me.

I resumed my walk over to my seat as Lauren hopped off the table and scampered back to her own table like a mouse; Mike followed sluggishly back to his seat next to some girl with a bad perm after attempting to flash me a flirtatious grin. Disgusting.

Edward was pawing through his backpack that was settled on the floor next to his chair as I reached the lab table and slid in slowly to the seat next to him.

How could someone possibly smell so delicious? I thought as I tried not to inhale. He turned his head slightly and looked at me and smiled; he wasn't scared. I was unintentionally glaring at him with coal black eyes filled with blood lust and he was smiling; how odd. It would make killing him all that much easier. No, Bella, you must not think of that. You need to protect your secret and your family. I shrugged off the gruesome thoughts; I could handle this. Carlisle said I was an unusual vampire, I was able to ignore my thirst extremely well; even as a new born. It usually took vampires decades to be able to be around humans after they were changed, it took me only a few weeks. Carlisle had speculated that this impeccable self control may be my gift; like Alice and her visions and Jasper and his mood manipulating. I had always thought my 'gift' was pointless; until now.

"Hey, um, I wanted to introduce myself, I'm Edward Masen. I was wondering when my lab partner would get here." Edward said, he had a very nice voice, smooth and sweet. He held out his hand for me to shake. I stared at it for a moment, unsure if I should touch him, I didn't know if I would snap. I decided to take my chances and shook his hand. It was so soft and warm, there seemed to be an electric current flowing between our linked hands. I could feel his pulse underneath the thin layer of skin. I quickly pulled my hand away.

"Bella Cullen." I managed to choke out.

He smiled at me, "It's nice to meet you, Bella." I could hear his heart beating in his chest; it sped up when his said my name. My mouth overflowed with venom.

"It's nice to meet you too." I said flashing him a toothy grin. I wonder if that will scare him.

Instead of him getting frightened by my smile, he only grinned at me wider. He was very odd.

Mr. Banner began taking attendance, I rose my hand when he called my name and carefully tried to sneak glances at the delicious scented human boy next to me. He didn't seem to notice.

Once Mr. Banner finished with attendance, he pulled a DVD out of one of his desk drawers and popped it into the DVD player underneath the TV in the corner.

"We are going to be watching a video today about bacteria. It would be wise for all of you to take notes, you will be tested over the material covered in this video." Mr. Banner announced, pressing play then sitting down in the chair at his desk.

The students around my quickly pulled out notebooks and pens and began watching the video intently. I didn't take notes, I didn't need to; I had learned about bacteria so many times before I probably knew more on the subject than Mr. Banner ever would. Instead, I listened to Edward's steady heartbeat and the sound of his pen scribbling furiously on his notebook.

Mr. Banner cut off the monotone narrator in the video mid sentence seconds before the bell was to ring.

"We will finish the video tomorrow. Have a great day!" He said, I was already heading for the door by then and out of the classroom by the bell rang. I was eager to escape the captivating and mouthwatering scent; at least till tomorrow.

I decided to leave school after biology. I needed to hunt and to just get away. I pulled out my cell phone and sent a text to Alice saying I would meet them back at home. Once I escaped the building, I headed toward the forest that surrounded the student parking lot, walking at human speed. Once under the cover of the tree, I took off at vampire speed disappearing into the branches and moss of the forest.

Lauren thought it would be a splendid idea to sit on my desk and talk about nothing of importance before biology started. How annoying.

Mike Newton decided to join Lauren at my table, sitting down in the vacant seat next to me. I didn't know much about Mike, but he acted like he was the coolest person that had ever existed and it annoyed me. I would have much rather had him remain in his assigned seat and keep his mouth shut.

Lauren and Mike began discussing the dance that Jessica had told me about at lunch. Lauren was hoping to go with some guy named Tyler; I couldn't quite remember exactly what guy that was but I nodded and pretended like I did. Mike was hoping Jessica would ask him since I had basically turned her down without her even asking me. Mike and Lauren began talking about where they should have dinner at before the dance when Bella Cullen walked in the room. They noticed her at the same time I did.

"Damn, she's looking fine as hell!" Mike said in a hushed tone. He seriously embodied the stereotypical horny high school student. I rolled my eyes.

"Are you kidding me? She's, like, disgusting!" Lauren said looking at the girl as if she were covered in cows blood.

They began bickering about Bella's hotness as the pale and beautiful girl talked to Mr. Banner in the front of the room. He handed her some papers then pointed over at me. So she's my lab partner? About half way to my table she stopped and stared at me as if she had just seen a ghost. Her eyes grew wide and her nostrils flared. She looked utterly disgusted; was it because of me? I looked away and pretended to be paying attention to Mike and Lauren who were talking animatedly to each other as I thought of what could have caused her to react in such a way.

"Alright, everybody take their seats, please!" Mr. Banner announced, his hands clapped together and a smile on his face.

"I'll see you after class!" Lauren whispered jumping off my table and rushing back to her own.

"I'm so jealous man, so jealous. You have no idea." Mike said before he smirked at the approaching Bella and took his seat a few tables down.

I searched through my backpack for the green notebook labeled biology as Bella took her seat slowly. I turned my head a little and flashed a smile at her only to notice she was still staring at me the same way she had been before; eyes wide and nostrils flared. I still kept the smile on my face; maybe she would stop the glaring and be nice. After all, I just met her today, I had done nothing to her. As I continued to smile at her, her face seemed to harden a bit, she looked really pissed and also lost in thought. I stopped smiling for a moment then looked back at her, her face had somewhat softened and she looked a lot more calm; I smiled at her again.

"Hey, um, I wanted to introduce myself, I'm Edward Masen. I was wondering when my lab partner would get here." I said to her. I probably sounded like an idiot or worse - Mike Newton. I suppressed a shudder and extended my hand out for her to shake. She stared at my hand as if it were contaminated with some sort of disease before shaking it slowly; her face hardened again for a moment then she pulled her hand away. She was freezing. She had to just have gotten in from outside and even then, the air wasn't crisp enough to make someone that cold. Before I could ask, she spoke.

"Bella Cullen." She said simply, her voice was beautiful. It sounded like bells, I wanted to ask her to say more just so I could hear her voice again.

"It's nice to meet you, Bella." I said, I love the way her name rolled off my tongue.

"It's nice to meet you too." She said and flashed me the most beautiful smile I had ever seen in my entire life. I almost had to run to bathroom holding a book to my crotch. Dead puppies, dead puppies, dead puppies. I repeated in my head trying to calm myself down. Thank god Mr. Banner came to my rescue and distracted me.

"We are going to be watching a video today about bacteria. It would be wise for all of you to take notes, you will be tested over the material covered in this video." He said pressing play and sitting down at his desk. It looked like he was playing solitaire.

I opened my notebook and tried to focus on the video as much as I could; it was quite difficult with the beautiful girl sitting beside me. I wanted to know her; I had never been more interested in a person since I had my first crush in 3rd grade. Bella was mesmerizing.

"We will finish the video tomorrow. Have a great day!" Mr. Banner said as he turned off the movie. I didn't even notice that the hour was almost over. I couldn't help but be a little upset. My time with Bella was up. I frowned as I tossed my notebook in my bag, the bell ringing signifying the time for the next class. When I looked up, Bella was gone; I hadn't even heard her leave. I felt extremely unlucky.

To make my day even worse, I forgot the book for my next class, social studies, in my Volvo. I raced out to my car, I only had a few minutes to retrieve the book and get back to my class before the bell rang. My car was easy to locate since I parked it right in front; but on my way to my car I noticed something -or someone- across the lot. Bella was making her way into the forest that grew on one side of the parking lot. What the hell is she doing? I wondered. I decided to investigate instead of getting my book from the car. Is she going in the woods to get high or something? What the hell this is just...weird.

By the time I was halfway across the lot, she had already disappeared into the overgrown trees.

"Bella!" I yelled, breaking into a jog so I could get to her faster.

I reached the area of the forest where I had seen her wander into and looked around, "Bella? Where are you? I saw you come in here! Bella?" The only sound I heard was a bird's cry in the trees above.

I called out her name for a few more minutes and even wandered further into the forest; Bella was no where to be found. Had I just imagines all of this? I was sure I just saw her go in here. I yelled for her once more; nothing in the forest responded. Bella wasn't in the forest; I was totally alone and confused.

A/N: I hope this chapter is edited to everyone's liking. I had a blast writing this chapter, It's starting to get interesting! I promise to have more Cullen Family moments and more Mike Newton because hes gonna be funny in my story and just a total idiot. I don't think you'll hate him. As i said earlier, I put up a link for the art for this fic in my profile, so go check it out and let me know what you think. I'm gonna get started on the play list as well and also the next chapter. I should have chapter 3 up later this week.

I also wanted to talk about Bella's 'gift' she has not met Aro - yet, so she dosent know that she can block out other vampires powers...so yeah that's why she thinks her power is shitty. don't worry she will realize how truly gifted she actually is.
