A freshman, my first day of high school. Esme woke me up earlier than usual so I had time to get ready. Everyone has to make a good first impression on the first day, especially in high school. Some people say that your first day can determine the rest of your school life and I for one didn't want to get off on the wrong side.

I picked out some simple skinny jeans, a plain purple top but then I covered it with a black hoody. Nothing too bright that would make me stand out, I didn't want to be noticed everywhere I went. I pulled my black pair of Converse on and tucked my skinny jeans inside the shoe. I thought I should do something with my hair. It was chocolaty brown and kind of wavy, plain in other words. I decided to straighten it and Esme helped me do the back as I couldn't reach.

"You look beautiful baby girl. There's no need to worry, you will fit right in." She kissed my head and walked away. Esme was my mom in all sense of the word, she may not be related to me through blood but she was better than my biological mother, which I hadn't even heard off in two months.

I finished getting ready and went downstairs, Edward and Esme had already left for work and school but Carlisle was still here.

"Do you want some Pop Tarts Sweetie?" Carlisle asked as I reached the bottom step

"Yes please Carlisle. Cherry flavor." I sat down and flipped through the newspaper. Carlisle placed the Pop Tarts on the island countertop in front of me. I ate rather quickly as Carlisle was my ride and I knew he needed to get to work soon.

I kissed Carlisle and thanked him for dropping me off. I grabbed my bag and jumped out of Carlisle's Mercedes. As soon as I turned around I had people looking at me, top tip number 1: never show up to school in an expensive car without expecting attention. I pulled my hood down over my head and plunged the ear buds into my ear, All Time Low filled my ears. I walked past the people that were open mouthed gawking and straight down the hall to home room. I had received my schedule and other information two days pervious so I knew exactly where I had to go.

I was relieved to find that nobody was in the room yet, I walked to the back corner and sat down. I checked my phone for the time, I still had 30 minutes until school was due to start. I pulled up my messages and texted Esme to tell her I had got to school safely, I knew she would worry otherwise. It was sad to say that even in all the years I had lived in forks, I still hadn't made any other friends except Edward and Emmett. I was shy to say the least, I had never been good at meeting people. The guys had other friends of course but I never associated with them even if I was left on my own every now and again. The bell rang and for the first time since entering the room, I looked around. The class had filled with people and every seat had been filled including the one next to mine. A short girl was sitting next to me, a smile plastered on her face as she stared at me. She had long flowing blonde hair that reached mid-back, it looked amazing but all I could think was fuck that much be a bitch to brush. She spoke to me but I still had my earphones in so I didn't hear what I said, I pulled them out and asked,

"Pardon? I'm sorry I had music on." I held up my one earphone to prove a point.

"I said hey, my names Alice." She smiled at me

"Bella." I returned the smile even though inside I was secretly freaking out. How can someone be so straight forward?

"Do you have your timetable? I got mine like yesterday and I was so worried it wasn't going to come but then it did and I was like phew." She rambled on and on

"Yeah I got mine two days ago." I waved my timetable at her as she took it off me. She read the paper for about 2 minutes before turning and grinning at me, full teeth and everything.

"We have nearly every lesson together except Bio and Math. You're taking sophomore classes for both of them, far too clever for me." I laughed and luckily she joined in.

The register was soon taken and it was time for first lesson, Math. I liked Math, it always had an answer and there was always a way to get to that answer. It wasn't complicated and once you knew how to you could answer a whole load of questions. I was a logical thinker which probably explains my hatred for English; I never was good at writing and I hated having to think for myself instead of being told what to say/do.

Math passed rather quickly and soon I had Drama. I never really liked Drama, the idea of standing in front of a crowd and speaking never really attracted me, but Esme had suggested that it may help me overcome my confidence issues. It seemed plausible at the time so I agreed and wrote it down. Two months later as I walked into that classroom I had regretted the decision almost instantly. Everyone was staring at me, it was like I was some alien life form with seven eyes, two heads, eight arms and three legs. I saw Alice waving at me like mad from across the room, I ducked my head and swiftly moved to the seat next to her. She smiled and asked me how Math was, I didn't get chance to reply as our teacher started talking.

"Hello, my name is Mrs. Wheeler and I'm going to be your teacher for this year. This is our first lesson and I would like to use it to get to know each other. Pair up and act out a scene that you think represents your life the most. It can be fictional or real life, as long as it shows something that is a major part of your life." She clapped her hands as if that was the signal to start and immediately the class broke out. I guess I was with Alice as she turned and smiled at me.

"Okay, do you want to go first or do you want me to? Your kind of nervous so I'm guessing you will most likely want me to go first which is cool because I don't actually mind." I laughed and nodded for her to go on, I didn't like to talk about my life or my feelings so Alice going first seemed like the best option. Hopefully she would ramble for ages and we wouldn't get time for mine.

"Well my life changed when my little sister, Erica, was born. She has Autism. I love her to pieces and she's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. I want to be a child worker when I'm older and I want to work with children with Autism and it's all because of her." I smiled, it was a touching story and it nearly brought tears to my eyes, in all honesty I hadn't met anyone who had changed my life that much other than Esme or Edward.

We eventually acted out the scene where Alice's mom told Alice she was pregnant; it seemed the easiest one to do with only two of us. As for mine, well I chose the day Esme said I could live with them. It seemed the right thing to do because coming to think about it if I hadn't have lived with the Cullen's all the years I didn't know where'd I'd be or what I'd be doing. We had to explain the story behind out scene and once Alice had finished not one person was sitting there dry eyed, not even Mrs. Wheeler. I told my story quickly, only briefly explain about Dad and Renee. I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, yes it was upsetting but I wouldn't be where I was now if it hadn't have happened.

As soon as the bell rung I dashed out of the room, leaving Alice trailing behind me. The room was filled with awkwardness and I just wanted to get out of there. On the plus side it was break next, I could go find somewhere quiet to sit. I soon found out that that wasn't possible as Alice followed me through the courtyard.

"Where are we going Bella?" Alice asked as her little legs tried to keep up with me.

"Just here." I said as I stopped by a bench that was placed under a willow tree. Break was only 20 minutes so I knew I didn't have long but I needed to get away even for five minutes would do. We sat in silence and I'm sure Alice hated it but even though I had known her less than a day, she was a good friend and stayed with me. The bell rang and we retreated back to home room. Alice chatted away the whole time back. She never mentioned anything or asked me questions; it was nice to have people not nosing into my life. We got to home room for something called form time where basically everyone did nothing. I talked with Alice about her next lesson, I had Bio but she had something different. The bell rang and I left.

I was so nervous as I walked through the corridor, I had sophomore bio which meant older people. I mean I wasn't comfortable around people my own age let alone people who were older than me. I walked into the classroom and handed my slip to Mr. Banner, as I was only a freshman I had to hand in a slip to my teacher and he had to sign it if he thought I was capable of that lesson or whether I should be put down again.

"Good Morning Isabella, you can sit over there in that free space." I looked around but my eyes didn't land on the seat but the gorgeous face sitting next to it. He had bright blonde hair that as the sun hit it it formed a halo above his head and he had the most shocking blue eyes that I had ever seen. I walked over my knees slightly weak and sat down.

"Hello I'm Declan and you are?" He said as he held his hand out for me to shake, I took it and shook it firmly.

"Isabella but call me Bella." I smiled and turned back to the board, I knew then I would have a hard time concentrating in this class.
