I rushed out of Homeroom as quickly as I could, it didn't matter considering I didn't have Trig with Alice anyway, so I hurried out of the main school building and into a small mobile and hung my coat up on the rack before hurrying to take my seat next to my long term friend Jacob Black. We'd known each other since we were young and it helped that we were the same age so our friendship naturally blossomed, but when I moved out with my mother I thought that would be it until he sent me a letter one day, saying how much he missed me and how he wished things didn't have to change, that was when I decided that at the first opportunity I would move back and see him once more. Luckily, when my mom moved away with Phil I got that chance and I moved back and we were two high-school juniors. Charlie and Billy both hoped we'd date, and I guess that would've been nice, but I never wanted to spoil such a special friendship… Plus he never asked, so I just decided we'd be friends. Fortunately, he's in my Trig class whereas Alice isn't so I'll thank God for the small things.

"Hey, Jake." I smiled happily at him, even in my broken state, I could still smile.

"Hey Bells, have you got a cold? You sound kinda gravelly." He looked concerned as he watched me take the seat next to him.

"Yeah, I woke up with a slight… Y'know, but that's just so common in a town like this, I can't take time off school for nothing." I shivered slightly and I felt his warm arms around me for a second, then looked round to see a brown woolly jumper placed around my shoulders. "Aww, Jake. You don't have to give me your jumper."

"You know I always keep warm, I didn't even need it, but you know what Dad is like." He chuckled lightly and opened his textbook to a page that we had been studying last lesson.

"Thank you." I murmured quietly and gratefully and turned round to pick up my books from under the table, whilst also holding onto the table top with one hand, when I saw Edward in the doorway, looking awkwardly around the room and then his eyes settled on mine and my heart sped faster, my pulse quickened and I could feel a thumping in my head. My palms became all sweaty and when he moved I struggled to keep looking at him, forgetting that I was half-on half-off my chair, and fell flat on the floor, head first.

"Ooh that's gotta hurt," I heard Jake's voice say from behind me and I looked up to see him offering me his hand, which I took and he helped me stand upright again. I knelt and picked up his woolly jumper from the floor and gave it back to him. "I don't need this thanks."

"C'mon Bells, your freezing." He reasoned. "What's up?"

"I think it's jinxed." I kidded.

"No, please tell me." He asked his eyes warm and pleading as they bore into mine.

"Nothing I swear." I smile at him and placed the jumper back round me, delightfully warm once around it, and settled back into my seat as Jake sat next to me and wrapped his arm around me, just as the teacher walked in.

"Okay class, I hope you've done your homework, because today we're starting with a pop quiz!"

"Oh no!" I complained as I walked out of Trig.

"Bells what's up?" Jake asked me for what had to be the fifth time today.

"I've failed that pop quiz I know it." II shut my eyes as we reached the door and hen opened them, remembering that I had to meet Alice for English from the gym. "Shit, Jake, we need to go." I grabbed his hand and held it tight, then began running as fast as I could towards the gym building where we saw Alice standing outside, "Alice!" I yelled and lost my footing, and started to fall forward, just in time, Jake caught me.

"Umm… Thanks." I smiled up at him and I saw that his eyes were suddenly serious as he stared down at me. His eyes intensely looked over my face and his grip around my back tightened.

"So, how was Trig?" Alice asked from the side of me and I looked up at her grateful for the distraction. Jake released me immediately and I remained standing, awkwardly between the two, trying to keep up the conversation with details of my fall to the ground in Trig, not quite telling Alice who my subject was.

We reached English class and Jake wandered away after mumbled 'goodbye' and I breathed as sigh of relief as we approached the small classroom and Alice opened the door for me, only to see that Edward was also in this class with us. And he was sitting on the table right next to us.

"Fuck," I heard Alice mumble under her breath. "Bella, switch seats with me."

"What?" I asked. That made no sense she'd still only be a seat away from him and after all, I had been the one who sneezed on him and who fell I front of him and made a complete fool of herself. "No!"

"Oh Please Bella!" She stared at me with her brown, orb-like eyes and I couldn't say no.

Hey, you try saying no to Alice sometime, you'll be in therapy for years!

So, we sat, side by side, except this time I didn't sit on the left of the two-seater table, beside Angel, no I sat on the right side, about half a meter away from him. "Great." I mumbled under my breath and I sat down in what I hoped to be a graceful movement.

I looked around, nonchalantly and saw he was staring at me. "Hi." I said and smiled in what I hoped to be a confident manner, only I'd been failing at everything so far… Oh god.

"Hello, Bella." He surprised me by saying my name and my smile slipped away as my jaw fell open and I stared at him, open mouthed.

"What did you just call me?" I asked, well more like whimpered.

"Oh, do you prefer to be called Isabella? I apologize." He smile hugely at me, almost dazzling me with the sheer brightness of them.

"No, Bella is fine." I said putting a confident smile on my lips once more. "But, you still dodged my question, how do you know my name?" His lips crinkled, and then transformed from a huge smile into a smirk, that made his eyes look so ferocious for a second, he was looking at me like his prey.

He chuckled slightly. "You're very perceptive; I was hoping you wouldn't notice how I knew your name. Most people are very into themselves and forget almost suddenly. You're very refreshing." He smiled as he turned in his seat to completely face me. "I'll introduce myself properly. My name is Edward Anthony Masen, but you can call me Edward." He held out his hand, ready for mine.

"I'm Isabella Marie Swan, but you can call me Bella." I added a slightly shaky laugh as I took his hand and shook it, but then regretted it almost instantly and changed the subject. "How did you get to know all that stuff about…? Whatever you said earlier?" I asked hoping to converse with him some more. He leaned in closer to talk to me and his cologne smelt wonderful, I was almost about to lean in and discover the identity of the smell, when he began talking.

"I took an extra curricular Psychology class at my old school. Very enlightening." He smiled as if I were missing some kind of inside joke.

"Wow," I said mostly to myself, but he laughed as if he'd heard. "I've always wanted to study Psychology, but they don't offer it here."

"Maybe I'll show you my notes sometime." He stared at me again, his smile gone and I choked on my words.

"M-M-m… Maybe." I finally managed to get out and smiled at him.

"Bella!" Alice whispered harshly as the teacher walked in and I turned back into my seat, then took one last look at Edward, but he already had his attention on the teacher.


Please R&R!!

I love that he still hasn't told her how he knows her name has mischievious plot line up her sleeve

The line 'Hey try saying no to Alice one time...' is from one of my favourite mangas ever, Dramacon and I didn't even realise I'd done it 'til after I wrote it.

Btw, one of my friends pointed out that Edward already met her, but actually they never talked, and according to Bella he never even saw her, she's only heard of him from Alice and saw him once. If your a tad :S

Anyway, new chapter soon!
