A/N- Thoughts that are meant to go to Edward and visions are in italics.
This chapter is three pages in word so enjoy!
BPOV (Bella)
"Class, this is Alice Cullen, our new student," said Mrs. Hertz. "I expect all of you to welcome her." Then she looked strait at Jessica and Lauren. I stifled a laugh. Of course even the teachers would know who the school bitches are.
"Alice, you can sit right next to Bella," Mrs. Hertz told her. That wiped the smile right off my face. I hate new people, and they hate me back. Alice was tiny and pixilike, and she had spiky black hair sticking out in all directions. She was pale and very beautiful.
"Hi!" squealed Alice. "I'm Alice, well duh you already knew that! We're gonna be best friends, I can already tell! Would you like to sit with my family and I at lunch?"
Wow. Alice seemed…energetic. I didn't really want to sit with them, but I didn't want to be rude either. If I was, they might hurt me too. Carter was going home early today, so there was no problem there.
"Um…sure. You have lunch next too right?"
"Yup!" Alice smiled. I smiled back. I knew that she wasn't right about us being best friends, but she would probably hurt me just like everyone else if I told her that. So I just sat there and kept quiet.
When the bell rang, Alice shot out of her seat, her books already packed up. She was bouncing up and down like an Energizer Bunny.
The second I got all my stuff together, she grabbed my hand and tried to drag me to the cafeteria. I pulled my hand away sharply. I didn't like physical contact. I looked up and saw hurt flash in her eyes, and then it was gone. She apologized, and we walked into the room.
She led me to her table, where there were four other inhumanly beautiful people. I didn't know who was most beautiful. The model-like blonde girl, or the lanky boy with the bronze hair. I realized I was staring, and automatically blushed. I saw the one with the bronze hair looking-no glaring at me. His eyes were the only ones that were deep black. He suddenly got up from the table and stalked off angrily, muttering something that I couldn't hear.
"Sorry," Alice apologized. "That was Edward. He wasn't feeling very well today. Anyway, this is my boyfriend Jasper, his sister Rosalie, and her boyfriend, Emmett."
Jasper was handsome, but he had nothing on Edward. He had topaz eyes, and honey blonde hair that was like Rosalie's. Emmett had a lot of muscles; he looked like he could pick me up and snap me in half like I was a twig. He had curly dark hair.
"Hi," I said softly, and blushed. Jasper looked pained. His lips were quivering, but I didn't hear anything so I let it go.
"Bella, aren't you gonna eat anything?" Emmett asked me. I looked down and realized that I didn't have any food. I didn't want any either.
"No, I had a really big breakfast, so I'm not very hungry." I lied. They looked like they bought it. Anything I ate now would just make it worse later, when he punches my stomach.
"Um, the bell is going to ring soon and I need to go to my locker, so I'll just see you guys later." I told them.
Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett just nodded.
Alice almost screamed, "Bye Bella! See you tomorrow!"
Everyone in the cafeteria was staring at me. I blushed and walked out of the room.
APOV (Alice)
I noticed my family staring at us as Bella and I walked into the cafeteria.
Edward, Bella is my new best friend. Be nice!
He just glared at me. I stuck my tongue out at him. As we got closer, I saw Edward's eyes turn pitch black. What was wrong with him?? I mean sure, Bella smells good, floral somehow, but still. It's not that bad.
He was glaring at Bella, and then he got up and said, "I can't handle her smell. I'm going to hunt."
What?!?! We just hunted yesterday!
I smiled apologetically at Bella. "Sorry. That was Edward. He wasn't feeling very well today. Anyway, this is my boyfriend Jasper, his sister Rosalie, and her boyfriend, Emmett."
I suddenly had a vision.
We were sitting at the lunch table just like today. Jasper was staring at Bella's neck. He suddenly jumped up, grabbed her, and ran into the forest. He bit into her neck and-
"Jazz!" I hissed so low that Bella wouldn't be able to hear. He lowered his head in shame.
"Sorry," he muttered. "She's feeling an immense amount of pain for no apparent reason. I wish I could tell what it was."
Really? I'm going to find out! I cant have my new best friend in pain!
Just as I was about to ask her about herself, Emmett had to go and interrupt.
"Bella, aren't you gonna eat anything?"
She looked down and seemed embarrassed.
"No, I had a really big breakfast, so I'm not very hungry," Bella responded. All of us could tell that she was lying, but we didn't show it.
"Um, the bell is going to ring soon and I need to go to my locker, so I'll just see you guys later." Bella said.
Aww! I didn't want her to leave, but she was obviously going to one way or another. So I just said, "Bye Bella! See you tomorrow!"
She blushed and walked out. Jasper let out a breath. "Wow." He said. "I've never felt that much pain from one person. I would think that it would kill a human."
I was sad to hear this. "We have to help her, or at least figure out what's wrong! I could smell pretty fresh wounds on her. Someone is hurting her. But who?"
Rosalie growled. I knew what she had gone through, and she wouldn't wish it upon anyone else. Jasper rubbed soothing circles on my back.
"Don't worry Alice." He said. "We'll find out."
I hope so. For the first time ever, I felt my energy drain away into sadness.
A/N- Alice never heard Bella say hi to everyone because she was having her vision.
R&R!!! I'll update tommorrow if I get at least 5 reviews and if 5 more people vote on my poll.
