I'm so so so sorry you guys. I swear my chapters will never take this long to update again. I had some road blocks in the way that wouldn't allow me to write. For instances, I was almost done when Microsoft Word decided it didn't want to work for a few weeks.

I'm really sorry this chapter is so short too.

Review and get a cookie :D

I found my laptop at last, buried deep at the bottom of one of my two suitcases, and set it on my old desk. I had never seen my desk before this moment, but I could tell it had been used for years before sold at a garage sale.

I quickly popped up the internet browser, and typed in the search bar. After messing around for a few minutes, I opened up one of my play lists. The first song to play was So What? by Pink. I sang along to the song a little bit while unpacking my second-and last-suitcase.

Three songs later, I shut my laptop in the middle of Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne. I looked out my window, and my eyes grew huge in shock.

Walking down the sidewalk on the other side of the street was a guy, about my age. He was tall, and somewhat muscular. He had his hands in the pockets of his faded blue jeans. He was looking down at the ground; his messy auburn hair tussled around. He had a carefree expression, his green eyes lost in thought. And he was the most beautiful, breathtaking person I had ever seen in my life.

His eyes shifted towards mine, and my breath caught in my throat. I tried to dart out of sight, but of course I slipped on a magazine. "Damn it." I muttered. Clumsy Bella did it again. I swore I heard a low chuckling outside, and my cheeks flamed red.

I hurried down the stairs, lost in thought. It wasn't like I liked the guy or anything. It was just my opinion he was gorgeous. He could be some huge jock or player for all I knew. The only reason I had blushed was because I had been caught staring. Nothing more. I smiled as I saw Charlie, who was settled in front of the TV. "Hey, Dad." I called. He turned around and smiled back. "Does cold pizza sound good?" He asked, apologetically. I nodded. "Perfect." I threw a slice in the microwave, pouring myself a glass of milk. The microwave beeped rather loudly at me, something I would have to get use to. I shoveled the pizza down, exhaustion coming over me. All I wanted to do was let this nightmarish day end.

I woke up in the morning with a sigh. Charlie had already gone to work, leaving the house to myself. He told me yesterday that he leave earlier and comes home late, so it was like I had the house to myself.

I flew down the stairs and scarped down a poptart, enjoying the taste. I took my time upstairs and changed into a low-cut red short sleeved shirt, with a white tank top underneath (which had small read hearts) and dark blue jeans. I grabbed my backpack, slipped on my tennis shoes, and ran outside.

I hurried through the rain, and into my rather large faded red Chevy. Charlie had bought it for me, as somewhat as a homecoming gift. I had been touched that he would go to that. It was unusual for him. He wasn't a very emotional person. His main events in life consisted of sports, his job, and Larry The Cable Guy ("Get 'R Done!").

The morning past by uneventfully. I had already been to math, history, geography, and english. I was now heading to lunch, and for once I was a little more nervous than all morning. Why, I couldn't exactly tell you. I just had a feeling. So when I was standing alone in the busy lunch room, biting my lip and wondering where to sit, I was utterly surprised when a girl bounded over to me, smiling. She was a little bit shorter that me, with spiky black hair. Her skin was so pale it was almost white, and her hazel eyes sparkled. She was wearing a plain yellow shirt, with a gray vest over top. Slim gray jeans curved on her legs, and white flats rested on her feet. A few brown bracelets jingled at her wrists, a white scarf wrapped around her neck, and a gray hat was worn loosely on her black hair.

"Hiya!" She said, her voice bubbly. "Um, hi." I said timidly. I was instantly starting to like her. "I'm Alice!" She said, grinning. "I'm Bella." I smiled, unable to keep a straight face. "Wanna come sit with us?" "Sure." She squealed, and danced off to a table at the far end. I followed a little less gracefully. When I finally caught up, Alice threw herself into a tall blond. He smiled at me friendly, though he was preoccupied with the small ball of energy squeezing the life out of him. Alice giggled. "This is Jasper," she explained, poking the blond in the arm. "And that's Emmett," This time a tall muscular curly brown haired boy who's eyes sparkled with mischief. He grinned at me. "And Rosalie." A tall blond who looked so much like a super model I should have known her from somewhere. Did she win America's Next Top Model last season? I think so. "Look what the cat dragged in this time." Rosalie said. I was a little bit offended, until I saw she was smiling and playfully glaring at Alice. "First a cat, then a puppy, and now a girl? Honestly, Alice, we're going to have to make a bigger house. Next thing we know you'll be bring home an elephant!"

Emmett's roaring laughter filled the cafeteria. No one glanced over, so I figured they were used to it. Rosalie and Emmett high-fived, and Jasper chuckled. "Oh ha ha." Alice said darkly, her head moving in a mocking way. "Anyway, this is Bella, the girl." "Hi." I said feebly. Jasper and Rosalie shook my hands, but Emmett, on the other hand, gave me a deathly large bear hug. I giggled once I could breathe again.

I instantly felt welcomed. All lunch, we talked. We asked a few questions about each other, but we mostly cracked jokes. I confirmed my theory that Jasper and Rosalie Hale were twins, and found out that Alice and Emmett Cullen were siblings. They also had another brother, Edward. "He's probably off with his girlfriend somewhere." Alice said, rolling her eyes. "He's not exactly a player, but his girlfriends only last a few months, at the most. Usually weeks. The last one he dated was Lauren. Biggest slut on campus. Now it's some other girl, I think her name is Jessica." Alice continued, rolling her eyes here and there. "Wow, Alice, I feel sorry for you. Two older brothers?" I commented, trying to bring her good mood back. "Oh, trust me." Emmett chuckled. "She run's the house."

After a few more cracked jokes, we said our goodbyes and went to class. They mostly had the same classes together, except they were the exact opposite of mine. Although, Alice and I had gym together at the end of the day. I almost tripped on the door stop into Science, but caught myself. There were a few giggles from people from my earlier classes, such as Angela,(who was really nice, and I didn't blame her from laughing. I had been tripping over things all day. It was comical.) Mike, and Josh. I waited patiently for the teacher to come, and glanced absentmindedly at a table. This happened to be where a boy and girl were making out. I immediately recognized Jessica, from math, so I assumed the boy was Edward Cullen, Alice's brother. After a moment, I realized that Edward had been the one walking down my street yesterday. Lovely.

As the teacher walked in, they immediately pulled apart, and Jessica stalked off to different table. Edward sighed, leaning back in his seat. "Swan," the teacher said, acknowledging me. "In the back with Cullen, please." Of course. This had to be charma. I had to have done something bad today. Maybe it was laughing along with Emmett's dirty jokes? Whatever it was, I took my seat. Hoping and praying he would ignore me and I could ignore him and we could get along with our happy little lives. Obviously, I had done something really wrong. "I'm Edward Cullen." He introduced himself. Friendly enough. But I still didn't like him. "Bella Swan." I said, smiling a little. That was the most we said to each other all day.

At gym, I explained to Alice what had happened. She gave me a sympathetic look. "Don't worry. Unless you have to do a partner required lab, he'll probably ignore you. Thinking about his girlfriend. Although I don't think he likes her too much, so probably worrying. Anyway, just don't think about it." As she rambled, I back out of the way, and she stepped in front of me to catch a ball. Then fired it back, taking a guy out. Dodge ball was not my sport. Obviously it was hers. She took at least have half the class out total. I mostly hid behind her. When she got out by a team up on the opposing side, everyone scattered, panicked. It was a funny sight. Until I realized I couldn't hide behind anyone anymore.

We met up with Jasper, Rose and Emmett afterwards, but for the first time I felt a little out of place. Mainly because Alice threw herself at Jasper, pecking him on the lips and Emmett had his arm around Rosalie's shoulders as well as holding her hand. I shook it off after a few moments, and listened as Alice turned our normal dodge ball game into such a dramatic story I could see it in the theaters with things blowing up and ninjas and guns and stuff. We said our goodbyes reluctantly, and decided to meet up in the parking lot the next morning.

All in all, it had been a good day. Minus Science.
