Hello All....thank you to everyone who has read this story....I hope you've enjoyed it thus far. I noticed that I am terrible at writing summaries....so I put a small challenge of writing one for me. I will definitely appreciate it. Anyways....on to Chapter 2!

Beep…beep…beep…

Bella reached over and slammed the snooze button to her alarm clock. It was time to get ready for her first day of class, but her body was protesting. Ever since she had gotten sick, her body was always tired and weak in the mornings.

Before she could go back to sleep there was a timid knock on her bedroom door. "Bells, are you up?"

Bella held back the groan that was fighting to release as she got out of bed. Through the door, she answered, "Yeah…I'm up."

"Alright. Well, I'm heading to work. Have a good first day at school."

"Bye."

She gathered her things and headed to the bathroom to take a shower. After she got dressed, she went downstairs to grab a bite to eat before going to school.

It was still early when she reached Forks High School, so she decided to head to the office to get her schedule. Ms. Cope, the principle's secretary, greeted her when she entered the small room.

"Good morning. What can I help you with?"

"Hello, I'm new here. I was told to come here to get my schedule."

"Oh! You must be Chief Swan's daughter, Isabella?"

"Bella."

"Of course dear. Let me just get your schedule." Ms. Cope trailed off while she searched her messy desk for Bella's file. "Ah, here we are. Here's you schedule and a map of the school. Have each of your teachers sign this slip and bring it back at the end of the day. Is there anything else you needed?"

"No thank you."

"Well then I guess you should hurry off, classes are due to start in ten minutes."

"Right."

Bella walked back to her truck and drove to the student parking lot around back. She gave a quick glance at the map to find her first class before she hopped out of the cab and headed to the building.

She found her class easily and walked up to the teacher's desk to introduce herself. "Hello, I'm Bella Swan. I'm new."

"Yes, Isabella Swan. I'm Mrs. Anderson. Welcome to Pre-Calculus."

"Thanks and please call me Bella."

"Alright Bella, you can take the seat next to Miss. Cullen."

Bella followed the teacher's finger as she pointed to a black-haired pixie-like girl excitedly waving from a table in the middle of the room. Bella gave a small awkward smile at the girl as she walked towards the table.

As soon as she reached her seat, the pixie jumped into a conversation with her.

"Hello, I'm Mary Alice Brandon Cullen, but you can call me Alice!"

"Bella Swan."

"It's great meeting you. I know we will be the best of friends."

Before Bella could respond Mrs. Anderson called the class to order and began the lesson. When the bell rang, Alice danced out of class after saying goodbye to Bella.

The rest of the morning went smoothly for Bella. The school was buzzing with excitement about her, but she attempted to ignore it as much as possible. During third period she met Angela Weber, who invited her to sit with her and her friends during lunch.

When Bella reached the cafeteria at the beginning of lunch, she grabbed some food and went to sit down with Angela.

"Bella, I wanted to introduce you to my friends. This is Jessica, Eric, and Mike. Guys, this is Bella."

"Hey."

"So, you're from Arizona right?"

"Yeah."

"Why would you move from there to here?" Jessica asked with playful disgust in her voice.

"Um…I rather not talk about it."

"It's okay, you don't have to," Angela said reassuringly.

"So Bella, what do you have after lunch?" Mike asked hoping that she had a class with him.

Bella grabbed her schedule from her pocket and looked at what she had. "I have English with Mr. Erikson and then study hall."

Mike immediately smiled when he heard she had English next. "I'm in the same English class. Jessica too!"

"That's cool."

"Why do you have study hall instead of gym?" Eric asked while studying her schedule.

"Oh…well I have severe asthma and can't participate in gym. They just scheduled a study hall for me instead."

"Lucky," Jessica scoffed good-naturedly.

The rest of the lunch period was spent talking about school and Forks. When the warning bell rang for the next period, the five stood up to head to class. Bella took a couple of steps towards the exit when she slipped on something on the floor making her fall backwards. Before she could touch the ground, two strong arms caught her. Bella looked back to see who had caught her and saw the biggest guy ever with a goofy smile on his face.

"T-Thanks for catching me."

"No problem. Do you do that often?"

"What?"

"Trip? Slip? Fall?"

The blush that crept onto her cheeks was enough of an answer.

"Haha…I think I am going to enjoy having you around. I'm Emmett by the way."

"B-Bella."

"Well Bella, I think we should go before we are late."

Bella looked around the room and was surprised to see almost everyone gone. The only people left were Mike and Jessica who were waiting to walk her to their class, and a Blonde girl who was impatiently waiting for Emmett near the door.

"I guess you're right. Thanks again for catching me. Bye."

"Bye BEEELLLLLAAAAAAA!" Emmett yelled while Rosalie pulled him through the door.

As Bella walked over to her new friends, she was amused to see the looks of disbelief on their faces.

"Why do you guys have those looks on your faces?"

"Do you know who you just talked to?" Mike asked still in disbelief.

"Yeah, he said his name was Emmett."

"CULLEN!" Jessica announced.

"Sssooooo?" Bella dragged out with confusion.

Mike grabbed her arm and guided the three to their next class while they continued talking. "The Cullens don't talk to anyone. They all kinda stick together and ignore the rest of us."

"Why?"

"They are all Dr. and Mrs. Cullen's adopted kids."

Jessica jumped in after Mike finished. "Yeah, and they are all together together. Emmett is with that blonde girl, Rosalie. Then Alice, the pixie-looking one who I will show you later, is with Rosalie's twin Jasper. It's weird. They have another brother, Edward, but he is single."

"Oh. Well, they seem nice. I met Alice already. I have math with her."

"You mean she actually talked to you too?"

"Yeah."

"Wow...you must have some magical powers or something," Mike joked as they walked into class.

Jessica and Mike went to their seats while Bella went up to Mr. Erikson.

"You must be Miss. Swan. Welcome to my class. I'm Mr. Erikson."

"Hello."

"Let me give you the assignment the class is currently working on. Don't worry, I just gave it out yesterday and it is due on Monday, so you have the whole weekend to work on it. Go ahead and take a seat at the empty desk and we can get started."

The last two classes went by quickly and soon Bella was walking out to her truck to head home. She stopped on the way home and got some groceries. When she reached the house, she started dinner and began her homework.

"EDDIE-POO, WE'RE HOME!" Emmett shouted as he walked through the door.

Edward ran down the stairs at the sound of his siblings. "Emmett, didn't I just rip you apart yesterday? Do you want me to do it today too?"

"Oh Edward, I think I'm in love!" Emmett swooned dramatically.

Edward raised his eyebrows while Rosalie rolled her eyes annoyed at her husband. "Oh come on, she is just a stupid little human."

Emmett looked affronted by his wife's statement. "She is not some stupid human Rosie. She is clumsy and she is always blushing and she is so small. I could probably lift her with my pinky."

"That makes you in love with her?"

Emmett suddenly became very serious. "I don't know why, but I feel like she is the little sister I never had. I want to protect her, tease her, and love her."

Out of nowhere, Alice ran up to Emmett and gave him a hug. "Don't worry Em. You'll be her big brother and she will be your little sister. I can see it."

Edward turned sharp eyes towards Alice when she said this. He tried to see what she saw, but Alice was blocking him with thoughts of shopping.

"What are you trying to hide Alice?" Edward growled.

"Nothing!"

"Tell me!"

"You'll just have to wait until Monday," Alice said cryptically before skipping upstairs.

A/N: I love brotherly Emmett....so you are going to get it in this story. I know in the actual Twilight book, Bella's schedule is different (ie Bella has English after lunch), but somehow this schedule works better with my story. REVIEW and help me with my summary!
