Thanks for the reviews. When I was writing this I only had 2 reviews. So thank you to those two. I really appreciate the story alerts and stuff but please review!! I can't stress the point enough!! I feel like a teacher which is kind of scaring.
So I would like to dedicate this chapter to my two reviewers, vampyregurl09 and PadawanCassy. Thank you for your reviews, they mean a lot. Maybe even more then chocolate, and that's saying something.
On the way to lunch Bella met Angela and Jessica in the hall. Jessica couldn't hold in the topic of the Cullen's any longer.
"Hey Bella, have you seen the new kids?" Her voice was full of anticipation to gossip.
Bella knew even if she didn't, she would get the '411', 'lowdown', 'top goss', whatever works.
"I seen two of them, you?"
"Yes!" she squealed, "they're gorgeous!" That old 'high school crush' look was in her eyes.
"Jess, you're with Mike so don't get all lovey dovey on us ok?" Angela spoke up from behind Jessica.
"O, but Angela, once you see the younger one you will be blown away," Jessica was imagining her whole life with this one boy...
"What's his name?" Angela interrupted her thoughts, determined to make her see things her way.
"O, um, Edmund or Edward, or something like that."
Angela rolled her eyes and continues to walk.
When they entered the cafeteria, Bella was once again stunned by the beauty of 'the new kids'. There was five model like beings sitting on the other end of the hall.
There were three boys and two girls. There was Alice from history and the blonde pained one, accompanied by a huge, muscular boy who looked like a professional footballer. He had short brown hair, was quite tall with pale skin and once again, those golden eyes.
"Bella are you coming?" Angela's voice invaded Bella's mind.
"O, yeah, sorry, daydreaming." Bella made her way to the lunch line and waited. She thought now would be a good time to look at the Cullens again.
She was now looking at the other girl. She had long blonde hair, with the same skin and eyes. From where Bella was standing it looked like this girl had the kind of figure any girl would kill for. She was wearing clothes of great expense; it was like she had just finished doing a photo shoot.
Bella now turned her gaze to the third boy, the youngest looking, probably Jessica's heart throb. He had bronze hair that was messy but gorgeous. He too had pale skin, designer clothes and those intriguing golden eyes. Bella had to admit he didn't look as muscular as the other boys, he was somewhat more, lanky...
"I see you've noticed Edward, Bella." Jessica's voice was a mixture of teasing and protectiveness.
At that moment, as if they called him, Edward turned to face them. Bella quickly turned back round with rosy cheeks.
She quickly grabbed a tray of food, paid for it and then went to sit down. Her table was about 6-10 metres from the Cullen's'. Bella took a seat in which she could get a good view so she can finish observing the bronze haired one, Edward.
Mike, Eric, Ben and Taylor were already there waiting for the girls.
"So, Bella, what do you think of the new guys?" Mike asked Bella as soon as she was seated.
It was starting to get on Bella's nerves that everyone just wanted to ditch dirt on them. This is how it would have been on her first days at Forks and she wished there would have been some one there who wouldn't have put up with it.
"I don't know them Mike, do you?" It came out sharper than Bella had intended.
Mike pulled back and put his hands up in an 'I surrender' way. "No, but I wanted to know what you thought," he said defensively. "Are you ok Bella?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm sorry I snapped at you." Bella had never been able to hold grudges or last long in an argument. The guilt just came down like a tonne of bricks and would stay there until she apologized.
"It's cool Bells, forgotten." Mike smiled.
"I really want to go over and introduce myself," Jessica said, hating to be left out of any sort of conversation. "Hey Bella, why don't you come with me?"
"O, no, no thanks." The shy side to Bella's personality kicked in.
"O, come on!" Jessica grabbed Bella's hand and pulled her off her chair. She basically dragged her over to the Cullen's table.
They all stopped talking and looked at them with confusion, yet some amusement was in their eyes.
Bella could feel her cheeks turning scarlet.
"Hi, I'm Jessica Stanley," she gave a little wave, "and this is Bella Swan," she gestured to Bella.
Bella gave a small smile and turned to Alice who raised her eyebrow meaning, 'so this is Jessica?' in return Bella looked at her apologetically.
"Can we help you?" The youngest one, Edward said. There was frustration in his voice. He was obviously irritated by the two girls.
Even with the obvious annoyance, Jessica still kept her happy, cheery tone.
"I just wanted to meet you all."
Bella rolled her eyes. Jessica obviously doesn't know when she's not wanted.
Suddenly the cafeteria door swung open and a cool draft swept through. Bella looked when it banged against the wall. When she turned back she seen Edward's eyes were now black and he was looking straight at her. He had a pained expression on his face and his hands were balled up into fists on either side of his untouched food. His veins were popping out on his hands, up his arms and neck. His muscles were standing out too. Bella was mistaken by the lanky figure.
Bella stared into his eyes like a deer caught in headlights. She felt a shiver down her spine and looked away. The expression if looks could kill came to mind.
"Um, we have to go." The big muscular one said. He quickly got up, pulling Edward with him.
As they walked round the table, Edward never took his eyes of Bella. When they passed the girls, Bella could've sworn Edward leaned in towards her before the big one jerked him away. She stared after them as all three boys exited the hall.
She turned back to Alice, one eyebrow up questionably. "What was that all about?"
"I don't know, I don't understand," there seemed to be a deeper meaning to the words. "I'll go see, Rosalie are you coming?" Alice stood up and started making her way out. The blonde one, Rosalie, followed suit.
"Weird," Jessica said.
"Yeah," Bella furrowed her forehead, "I wonder what the big deal was."
The two girls made their way back to the rest. When they got back Lauren had seemed to join them, not one of Bella's admirers. Jessica insisted on telling what happened. Bella remained quiet. She didn't feel it was her duty to discuss other's matters.
Yet Bella couldn't help but wonder why Edward was reacting that way. Was there a foul odour coming off her, which was carried to him by the wind? Surely not, she had a shower last night. Bella suddenly felt even more self-conscious in front of the Cullens.

It was now the third last period of the day, biology. Bella was situated at her table drawing patterns on her page.
She thought if she could get through this period and double P.E, without seeing the Cullens then she would only have to face the pixie each day.
It was as if the devil himself, had heard Bella's thoughts, for as she turned her sight to the door Edward was there. As soon as his eyes fell on Bella he stiffened and stood in the doorway staring at her. His eyes were black and empty. The pained expression was once again plastered to his face. It looked like he wanted to run. Run away and never come back.
Bella could've sworn he shifted towards the door but Mr. Banner spotted him.
"Ah, Mr. Cullen, come in." Mr. Banner waved his arm to signal him over.
Edward quickly turned to face the teacher. What once was a pained expression had now turned into one of shock and horror. He slowly but reluctantly made his way over to the teacher's desk. He would look up at Bella every now and again.
Mr. Banner quickly signed his sheet, gave him his textbook and motioned for him to take a seat next to Bella, the only available seat.
Edward quickly sat down but had his seat as far away as possible and, like lunch, was all tensed up. Through-out biology he never relaxed his position.
Bella didn't want to look at. Somewhere between lunch and class she had picked up the courage to ask Edward what was bothering him before. Now, it was out of the question. She didn't, wouldn't talk to him.
He never stopped glaring at her. Bella let her hair fall over her shoulder, creating a fuzzy curtain between them. It didn't make any difference; she could still feel Edward's charcoal eyes burning on her skin.
Ok, there's chapter two!
IMPORTANT!
Now I'm serious, I will not update until I have 5 reviews! I hate doing it but I'm going to because I feel two reviews aren't enough for me to sit in front of a computer for a couple of hours. I'd ignore my English coursework and I wouldn't revise for test, and for what, 2 REVIEWS!!!
I loved the reviews I got, don't get me wrong!
