AN: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE TWILIGHT CHARACTERS

Futra's POV

BUZZ, BUZZ, BUZZ.

'Five more minutes'

'Futra, wake up already. You have been hitting the snooze button for the past fifteen minutes.' My sister, Allegra, yells from across the hall

'Oh crap! I'm going to be late'

'It's about time you woke up. Don't spend too long in the shower. Breakfast will be ready soon.' Allegra says as I'm about to enter the bathroom. I have a quick shower, brush my teeth, put on some lotion and pack my hair in a ponytail. I quickly put on my underwear and pull out a pair of grey denim jeans, a black tank top and a light jacket.

I look at my reflection in the mirror just to make sure everything is perfect. My hairdo doesn't go with the outfit while tied up so I let my black curly hair fail instead. Yesterday it was straight but by morning it's already back to normal. Maybe I should go to the salon this weekend.

I make my way to the kitchen, and I see my sister already done eating, and is about to pick up her car keys to head off to her lectures.

'Well it's about time you're out. Cole is getting the car ready. Eat quickly; you have to be there in thirty minute. You wouldn't want to be late on your second day in school.'

'Yes ma'am.' I give her a mocking salute as she leaves.

I shove my breakfast of eggs, toast, fish fingers and fried mushrooms in my mouth as fast as I can. Woo hoo, I had done it in record time, I still have twenty minutes to get there.

I say bye to, Andy, the cook and zoom downstairs to a waiting Cole.

'Morning Cole'

'Good morning Miss Stevens.'

'Cole, please just call me by my first name. it feels weird when you say it all formally' I said as we make our way to school.

'Alright, Miss Futra, what time would you like me to come and pick you up?'

'The usual time would be ok, I guess.'

'2: 30 it is.'

We continue to talk about little things like the weather and my classes which are a bit annoying because I have to repeat the year because the Nigerian schooling system is different from that of here, and the classes I am currently taking a lot easier than in my old high school, until we get to school.

WPOV

We arrive at school with ten minutes to kill, so instead of going straight to class, we stay in the car listening to music. As it is Edward's car, Alice and I don't have an input in the choice of music. So instead, I take out my i- pod, switch it on and close my eyes as different songs play. I stay like that till Alice her fingers.

'Wyatt, snap out of it.'

I come out of the car and am about to start walking off, when I see a Mercedes Maybach pull up in the parking lot.

'Whoa, dude, it's that car again' I hear someone say to his friend.

'Yeah, I know. It belongs to that new girl. I gotta score that' the friend replies.

She climbs out of the car and makes her way on campus.

'Earth to Wyatt, come in Wyatt.'

'Huh … sorry, what where you saying Bella?'

'Nothing, just wanted to see how bad you've got it.' Bella replies, as she Edward and Alice burst out laughing. Nice. I don't say anything and start off to class.

BPOV

Wow. This is totally hilarious. I wonder if it is about the same or worse than how Edward felt the first time I met him.

As English class was about to begin, the new girl walks in. she scans the room, looking for an ideal place to sit down. All the boys get antsy, secretly whispering for her to sit next to them. Then she walks to the empty seat beside me and asks if the seat is taken. I shake my head and she takes a seat.

'I'm Isabella Swan, but you can call me Bella'

'Futra Stevens'

The class begins and we don't say another word to each other.

----o----

Class end rather quickly and I'm about to take off to meet Edward for Biology, then I hear my name. I turn around to see who it is and find that it's Futra.

'Um, can you please point me in the direction of the Biology lab?'

'Sure, we have the same class, so we could walk together.'

'Thanks, you're a life saver. i wouldn't want any of the guys to try 'walking' me to class'

'I get the feeling'

We leave the classroom and Edward is already there waiting for me.

-----o----

EPOV

Bella walks out of class with the new girl following behind. I can't help but smile when I see Bella's face.

Hi baby' she says and plants a small kiss on my lips.

'Hi, I missed you'

'Me too. Edward this is Futra. Futra, this is my boyfriend Edward. We have Bio together.'

'It's a pleasure to meet you Futra'

'You too.'

'So shall we?' I ask and they nod.

While walking to the lab, Bella asks her questions.

'So Futra, where are you from?'

'Nigeria'

Wow, so the weather must be a lot different for you, huh?

Yeah, but it's not that bad. I was brought up here while I was younger so I know what I'm in for.

I admire your courage. Bella hated when she first moved to Forks from Phoenix.

We take our seats and and Bella invites Futra to sit next to her.

'Forks, Where is that?'

It's in Washington. I reply. From there, I leave her and Bella to talk before the class starts. Taking this opportunity, I decide to read what going on in her mind.

What I hear just make me wonder. She isn't fazed by our unnaturalness at all. Instead she is thinking of how embarrassing it is to be driven to school in her dad's car, wondering what it would have been like if birds walked while people flew and different images of what she would like to draw later keep flitting in and out of her head.

All this amazes me but what stuns me the most is the fact that she is thinking all of this at the same time while talking to Bella.

If I thought Bella was different, she's probably at the top of the chart.

The class begins and today we go onto human anatomy. Mrs Warren just drones on. I just drift off thinking of what kind of surprise Bella has in store for me.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Who is that? I scan the room find out whose thoughts those belong to. Turns out it's from Futra. I just end up laughing silently. My laughter makes Bella look at with questioning eyes.

'she's bored'

What was she thinking that made you laugh?

She was saying blah repeatedly. Just as I finish this sentence, I noticed Futra tense up as if she heard what I said.

You can read my mind can't you?

I'm so shocked by her question, I don't reply for a while. It takes a while to register my thought. I simply nod.

Thought so. If you're wondering how I knew, I'll tell you guys during lunch.

O…kay. I definitely wasn't expecting that. I'll just have to wait till lunch.

WPOV

Lunch comes by rather quickly. I make my way to the table after getting my food. Alice comes to the table with her tray, looking all giddy about something.

'what did you see Alice?'

You'll find out soon enough she replies. Immediately after she finishes that sentence, Edward, Bella and the new girl walk into the cafeteria. They get their 'props' and walk to the table. They sit down and Bella introduces Alice and I to Futra. Futra, even the name sounds exotic.

AN: This is where the chapter ends. Next time, there'll be explanations.
