A/N: Hey! It's up, just like I promised!
-EPOV-
Why am I here? Everything is just plain white and empty. How do I even get out? I might as well start searching for an exit.
I walked for a while, deep in my thoughts. A million thoughts and questions kept my mind busy, unlike this barren place that I somehow always end up stuck in.
Why is it that my siblings could find happiness here in Forks? I don't understand how they could be so happy and carefree. This place isn't at all worth being happy over. It's such a sad and rainy place. I haven't lived here for long, actually only a few days, but how can Emmett and Alice possibly be so happy? I'm stuck here and I can't be happy because there's nothing to be happy about. Am I missing something? Is it just me?
Before I could flood my mind of any more questions, I heard the sound of footsteps somewhere behind me. It was getting closer and closer until…
"Hey! Can you help me?" her sweet voice rang in my ears. Maybe I should answer her…no, I decided against it. I need to find a way out of here. Maybe if I ignore her she'll go away.
"Do you know where we are?" she persisted. I really should answer her, but even I don't know where we're at.
"Can you at least tell me who you are?" she whispered, grabbing my arm.
I stopped dead in my tracks at her touch. Her skin is so soft and warm. I couldn't stop the smile that snuck its way onto my face as I turned to face her. She froze instantly under my intense gaze. I could tell that she wasn't going to snap out of it anytime soon. So I just winked at her and started walking again. I gave her one last look and I could see that she just snapped out of her trance. She looked after me, but I was so far that she couldn't tell that I was looking back at her.

"Edward!" what was that? "Edward! Wake up!" I felt movement on my bed.
I opened my eyes to see Alice bouncing on my bed. Oh, yeah. It's my human alarm clock. You know how most people have an alarm clock? Yeah, well, I have Alice. I have an alarm clock, but Alice insists that she wakes me up. She wakes me up 45 minutes before my alarm clock does. Doesn't that sound great?
I sat up and rubbed my eyes until I could see clearly. "I'm up, Alice! Why don't you go wake up Emmett?" I shook my head in an attempt to fully wake up.
"Okay!" And with that, she jumped off my bed and ran out to Emmett's room. I slipped my warm blanket off of me and got up to stretch. I slowly walked to the bathroom and washed my face. I brushed my teeth and hurriedly jumped in the shower. The warm water felt good against my skin, loosening up my tight muscles.
Even over the sound of the water running, I heard Emmett's loud footsteps just outside. Before long, I heard banging on the bathroom door. "Will you hurry up, Edward? I need to get ready!"
By this time, I was already out of the shower and wrapping a towel around me. I walked out of the bathroom without another word or glance at Emmett.
Since my boxes were still packed, I put on a pair of dark wash jeans and a white button down shirt, which was at the top of the pile. I walked back downstairs and grabbed a cereal box from the cabinet. I made my breakfast and sat down at the table to eat. Alice bounded down the stairs and grabbed a fruit bar.
She stood by the counter, "So are you ready for the first day of school?" I shrugged, not knowing what else to do. What was going to be different about this school? Girls always flirted with me, no matter how many times I ignored them.
"Are you?" I asked.
"Of course I am!" Before we could say anything else, Emmett came down, "You guys ready?" I mumbled a yes and grabbed my keys from the counter.
I hope today goes well.

We arrived at the school. There was barely anyone in the parking lot so I just parked in a random parking spot. We all went to the front office to make sure we were registered.
As we walked in the school hallway, we came to a bulletin board that had all of the homeroom classes. I had Mr. Thorne. Alice and Emmett did too.
We walked in the room, but instead of sitting with Emmett and Alice, I sat across the room from them. I just wanted to be alone as of right now.
Soon, the room was gradually filling up. Most of the girls sat next to me. They tried talking really loudly, in hopes of having me join in with their conversation. Not happening.
I kept my eyes down most of the time, trying not to look at any of the girls around me, but there was a movement in the corner of my eye and I looked up to see a beautiful girl walk into the room. She pulled out a book. I could see that it was Wuthering Heights, one of my many favorite books. I saw Alice and Emmett starting to talk to her.
Then, the teacher walked in. "Hi class. My name is Mr. Thorne. Welcome back to school. And for those of you that weren't here last year, welcome to Forks High School. I hope you will be enjoying your stay here. I will now be handing out your schedules. Justin Aarons…Sophie Adams…Alice Cullen…" I was about to stand up to get my schedule. "…Emmett Cullen…"
What? He just skipped right past me. I decided to be polite and wait until he finished calling out names. I listened and waited to see if he would catch his mistake, but he didn't. I was about to tune him out, but I saw that beautiful girl stand up. And fortunately, I caught her name, Isabella Swan. Such a beautiful name for a gorgeous girl.
She walked up to his desk, "I prefer Bella." Hmm. Bella. Still beautiful. I stared at her, amazed, as she walked up to the his desk and back. When she sat down, I saw Alice looking at me with her eyebrows raised. I could tell that she knew what I was thinking. I quickly looked back at the teacher and remembered that I needed to remind him about my schedule.
He finally finished giving out everyone's schedules. I raised my hand before he could continue to pass out everything else.
"Excuse me, You forgot to call my name."
"I did? Oh, I'm sorry. What's your name?"
"Edward Cullen." In my peripheral vision, I could see that Bella wasn't paying attention. She looked deep in her thoughts.
"Oh, that's right. Here's your schedule." I stood and walked up to his desk. I looked over my schedule.
P1 - Government
P2 - History
P3 - Trigonometry
P4 - Spanish
P5 - English
Lunch
P6 - Biology
P7 - P.E.
I guess my schedule's okay.
"Okay, now I will be handing out emergency cards and other paperwork," he started calling out names again. This time, he didn't forget me. He also called Bella correctly too.
The bell rang and everyone got up from their seats and started leaving.
I had first period with Bella. But unfortunately, she never noticed me.
Turns out that I have her in all of my classes. Well, only before lunch that I know of.
I tried to ignore Alice in all of the classes that I had her in. Somehow she never fails to see me staring at Bella. I can't help staring at Bella, but at least I was able to stay away from Alice.

At lunch, I got my food and scanned the cafeteria for my family. I saw them already at a table. But I saw a familiar girl sitting with them too. A very attractive girl by the name of Bella.
I walked up behind her. I decided to mess with her a little bit, "Excuse me, I think you're in my seat." She turned around to look at me, stunned. It seemed like she froze. She was so adorable, I couldn't keep the smile off my face.
Now that I looked at her closely, I think I saw her somewhere. I just can't put my finger on it. I know I've seen her before.
She finally snapped out of her stupor and started gathering her things. "Oh, I'm so sorry! I didn't know that this was your seat." Her hand brushed up against mine as she got up. Her soft touch stopped me…I know I've felt it before. But where?
"Relax, I was just joking. You can sit there if you want. I don't mind." I went to sit across from her. I watched as she blushed and she sat back down in her seat.
All throughout lunch, I watched as Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and even Rosalie asked Bella questions. But only my ears were paying attention to the. My eyes couldn't seem to focus on anything else besides Bella. She caught me staring at her a few times, but all she did was blush, look down, and then continue the conversation. Emmett, Jasper, and Rosalie seemed so interested in the conversations that were being talked about that they didn't even give me a second glance. Of course, being the sneak that she is, Alice looked at me many times. Many times.
Every time I noticed her watching me as I stared at Bella, like Bella, my cheeks would flush a little and I would look down. At least no one else noticed anything different.
As I was going to dump my plate, Alice followed closely behind me. Before I could walk out of the cafeteria, Alice had me cornered.
"So what's up with you and Bella?" she asked me.
So I decided to play dumb, "What in the world are you talking about, Alice?"
"Oh, don't play that with me! I know you like her!" she exclaimed.
What's the use in trying to play dumb now? "Is it that obvious?"
"Maybe not to her or anyone else, but to me it is."
"Well, what am I supposed to do?"
"Um, I don't know…ask her out maybe?!" she yelled.
"Oh, yeah, Alice. That's going to work. 'Hey Bella. You probably don't know me, but will you go out with me?" I imitated.
"Of course she knows you!" she slapped me lightly on the arm.
"Yeah, not enough though!" Before either one of us could say another word, we both heard the door behind us close.
Oh, no! She knows! She knows! was the only thought that ran through my head. We both ran to the door and opened it. The hall was filled with other students trying to get to class.
But something caught my eye. In the distance, I saw Bella walking away hastily.
Crap. She knows. What am I going to do? What am I going to do?
I turned to Alice in hopes that she knew what to do. What I saw scared me. The look on her face told me that she also had no idea what to do. Uh, oh. It's not a good thing when not even Alice knows what to do.
A/N: I'll update soon! I hope. Review and I'll see how much you want the next chapter! It's gonna be Bella's POV. Cause evidently, whoever voted in my poll, wants the chapters to be Bella's; Edward's; Bella's; Edward's; and so on. You can still vote if you want. (Though I doubt you will.) Anyways, I hope that I'll update soon. But I promise to have it up by the end of the week.
BTW, my other story: I know I haven't updated in like 2 months! But me being me, I like to finish what I started. (And I mean stories! This doesn't apply to much other stuff.) That story only has like 2 chapters, 3 tops left. So hopefully I'll have one chapter by the end of the week. It's gonna be after this story's update though.
