Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot. All the lovely characters belong to Stephenie Meyer. Hmm. . .

God loves me today! I thought to myself as I plopped down on my seat in Biology. Apparently, Mr. Varner wasn't here today. He had 'things' to attend to.

Way to go Mr. Varner!

Another good thing about this class was that neither Lauren nor Jessica was here, which made me extremely happy. If they were here right now, they'd be probably pestering me to death. See, I found them really annoying. But I still treated them with some respect. Everyone deserved respect, good or bad, rich or poor. Cheesy, I know. But let me introduce to you the word reality.

I put on my earphones and hit play on the iPod. Yay! Five Minutes To Midnight. This was one of my favorite songs, I really loved Boys Like Girls.

I was humming the tune, but since I couldn't contain it any longer when the chorus started, subconsciously, I sang out loud.

Turn it up
It's five minutes to midnight
You're coming home with me tonight
I can't get enough
Shakin' me up
Turn it up
Alright, at five minutes to midnight
We'll see our name in city lights
We'll make the clock stop
Make your heart drop and come alive

When I opened my eyes, okay, since when did I close my eyes? They met amazed green ones, which obviously belonged to a stranger. I didn't know him yet, so I studied him.

He had green mesmerizing eyes, tousled bronze-like hair, prominent cheekbones, he was also muscular (but of course not as muscular as Emmett, my brother), but still. All in all, he was beautiful.

"Hey." He said, looking at me. He had the smoothest voice I have ever heard, somehow you could compare it to velvet.

Why did my heart quicken its pace? Uhm. Maybe I wasn't used to this degree of physical perfection that I now found it pretty intimidating.

Believe it or not, though he was pretty good looking, he wasn't my type. Sorry, I already had Mike, he had blonde hair with those piercing blue eyes. . . hmm. We were together since our Junior year, where he escorted me to my classes, since I still had no idea where the buildings were.

"Uhm. . . hey to you too?" Gosh, Bella. You are so lame. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

"Edward," he raised his hand for me to shake. And so I did.

His hands were soft and smooth, like silk. And they were warm and comfortable.

"Bella," I said. Finally, something that made sense.

"I heard you singing, and your voice is incredible. Did you take up voice lessons or something?" he said, letting go.

"Uhh. . . no, not really. Thanks by the way," was my ingenious reply.

"Oh, so you're a Boys Like Girls fan, huh?" he asked, playfully.

"Yeah. Apparently I am. I listen to them all the time. I've been to a lot of their concerts and they sure as hell know what the word 'rock' means." I replied with enthusiasm.

We talked for the whole Biology period and found out a lot about each other. He was a real good listener, someone whom you could talk to. These times, I believe people like that were rare. I had a good feeling that we were going to be great friends.

By the way, he came all the way from Alaska with his family, turned out to be, he had a sister named Rosalie, whom, according to him was a shopaholic and was vain sometimes but all in all, she was a pretty great person. I hope she gets to be in one of my classes.

Brrring!

The bell rang. For the first time in my life, I called that bad news.

"Guess I'll see you at lunch! We'll save a seat for you and your sister." I called to him as I hurriedly, I don't know for what reason, got out the door.

"Thanks Bells, see yah!" he shouted.

A lot of people looked my way with confusion written all over their features. Looking at them made my face wrinkle in confusion, too. What did I do wrong?

Hmm. . . I guess I'll have to wait for lunch.

Please please please review. Reviews make me happy!

A/N: Yes, the 2 Alice's are different. Haha. I forgot to let Bella mention that, sorry.
