I do not own Twilight or the characters by any means. They belong to Stephanie Meyers. I always wanted to write my own novel. In the mean time I'm practicing with some fan fiction. Please excuse any misspells and grammar errors. I' am also experimenting with the thesaurus.

I rubbed my eyes at the sound of my alarm blaring and yawned. Rolling over I smacked it with my hand and glanced at the clock. Seven a.m. One hour until my first day of school in Forks. I started to sit up and muffled a scream at the sight of somebody sitting at the end of my bed. Realizing it was Alice I through my hand out to smack her. "You shouldn't do things like that!" I said through my yawn.

She grinned at me excitedly. "Why are you looking at me that way?" I asked growing self-conscious. "I have the cutest outfit for you to wear! A pair of really hot designer jeans, not to mention this really cute lace top….. " I let her ramble on for a few seconds longer before cutting her off. "Alice, no. It's my first day of school and I'm def. not in the mood to play dress up, Ca-Peesh?" I told her raising an eyebrow half expecting her to throw a fit-if she was anything like the same Alice I grew up knowing.

Yes, she was. She frowned out me trying to twirl a piece of her short, black, spiky hair through her fingers. "Uh ah, you are not making me feel guilty Alice! Not today, okay? I will just need to get through this day and that's it." I pointed my finger at her in a threatening way only to make her laugh at me.

She rolled her eyes. "You can't hide from me forever, Bella. I will get you!" she chirped before hoping out of my room. I rolled out of bed and made my way to the bathroom, took a quick shower and brushed my teeth before combing through my tangles and throwing on a pair of plain dark blue jeans and a plum colored, fitting sweater. Alice should be happy that it's at least not baggy!

After making my family egg and cheese sandwiches, we headed off to school in Rosalie's red M3, while my Aunt Esme went to her office for some appointments she had. She does interior design.

Morning classes went by in a blurry and next thing I knew it was lunch. I found myself sitting at a table with some new friends I had made. Jessica Stanley who seemed a bit absorbed in herself, Angela Weber who had to be one of the sweetest girls I know. She greeted me right away making me feel comfortable and didn't bombard me with questions. Two guys named Ben and Tyler, along with another guy named Mike Newton who kept dropping all kinds of perverted hints my way. He seemed nice but made me feel uneasy. Oh and some girl named Lauren who I wouldn't even call a friend, she seemed like a bitch to me. What's with the glare of death anyways? Seesh.

I toyed with my apple sweeping the lunch room with my eyes looking for my cousin Alice. "She's with Jasper." I heard Rosalie say. I looked over at Rosalie who wasn't even looking at me. She was too busy stroking her boyfriend's face. The guy turned and looked at me with this huge cheesy smile on his face. "I'm Emmett. You must be Rose's cousin." he boomed out still grinning at me. I laughed silently. He reminded me of a cute little kid on Christmas morning. "Hi. Rose has told me non-stop about you." I said quickly than wondering if I said too much on Rosalie's be half. Rose just smiled running her fingers through his curly black hair and smiled. "I can't get enough of my babe and he knows this." All of a sudden they were staring at each other with such intensity it made me want to vomit.

I started sweeping the lunch room again and found my perky cousin sitting at a table with a cute looking guy with honey blond hair and lean muscles. I realized this must be Jasper because the other guy…was . god. it was Edward. He looked so dreamy in his black leather jacket and jeans. So casual, so stunning. I inhaled deeply. They weren't kidding in the books when they said somebody could take your breath away. I starting debating with myself if I should go over there pretending to look for Alice just so I could be closer to Edward. "Yeah right. With your luck you would trip on the way over there and either fall in his lap or hit your head on the table." I rolled my eyes. "Who are you kidding anyways? He is too much of a goddess, way out of your league."

"Hey Bella, what are you doing this Friday?" I heard a male voice ask me. I quickly looked away and noticed Mike Newton giving me this funny grin. "Um, well it will be my first weekend in Forks so I think I'm going to stay home and study or hang out with my cousins." I said quickly trying to get out of whatever Mike was trying to ask me.

His face fell. "Oh. Well do you think you will want to go to the movies sometimes?" he persisted. I noticed Jessica Stanley looking a bit peeved at this point. I wonder if she liked him? "Um, I really don't know Mike. I have to see what my schedule is going to be like first, okay?" Schedule? What schedule? I huffed to myself. I gave him a weak smile hoping I didn't hurt his feelings too badly. The bell rang…literally saved by the bell. I grabbed my bag and lunch tray quickly dumping it in the trash and almost tripping in the process. I grabbed the side of the trash can to steady myself and prayed nobody saw that. I straightened myself up and made it to biology.

After entering biology and noticing Mike Newton was in my class and starting at me with an extreme look. I grimaced and turned around quickly to see the teacher who's name was Mr. Banner. He took my slip and motioned to wear I would be sitting. I glimpsed in that direction and noticed he was there, he was there at my table. ... I didn't realize I was holding breath until I made it to the table and started to feel dizzy and quickly grabbed onto the ledge when I started to feel faint.

I took a deep breath and took my seat next to him stealing a look from my peripheral vision. Once Mr. Banner began talking, something about cells I began taking notes stealing a glance or two every so often at Edward. Maybe he doesn't remember who I' am? "Hey, I'm Edward Cullen, your Bella right?" I heard a velvety voice whisper to me…so close that the warmth of his breath caressed my cheek and the sweet smell of honey tickled my tongue. I felt weak. I slowly turned in his direction trying not to fall over from feeling faint.

"Hi. I remember you. You were at the hospital with you dad." I decided to leave out the part about him holding my hand. "Oh, I'm such a freak." I mumbled feeling my cheeks flush red. I heard him chuckle softly only to be described as soft bells chiming. I sighed.

"I'm sorry you had to hear about my problems. My parents are such worry warts. You probably think I'm weird and I don't blame you." I said quickly and softly because I knew I was getting discomfited again. He shrugged. "I've seen worse, believe me. My dad drags me to the hospital whenever he gets the chance. He is hoping for me to follow in his foot steps since my brother Emmett and cousin Jasper won't be."

"Oh. Is that something you want to do?" I asked curiously. All of a sudden his face hardened up and he turned away. "Never mind," I could've sworn he muttered. I felt perplexed and a little piqued. I didn't recall saying anything out of place. What the heck? The bell rang a few minutes later leaving me to gather my things and head into gym. With my mood now, maybe I will actually be able to hit something with out falling over and hurting myself.

I sat there in Spanish tapping my fingers impatiently not even listening to Emmett go on about Rosalie. I wanted to hit myself for being so word for her out of nowhere. It's just when she asked if I wanted to follow in my dad's footsteps it caught me off caught. I mean I knew it was coming but I have never shared much personal detail of my life to a girl before. There usually isn't a lot of talking involved. Maybe some small talk, some kissing, maybe some fooling around but that's it. I never really met a girl who I actually wanted to share the details of my life with before. That made me feel vulnerable all of a sudden. Jasper and Emmett would really have a kick if I mentioned anything about being vulnerable. I could hear jokes on my sexual orientation once again. I rolled my eyes.

My mind drifted back to biology as I heard Emmett mutter "Rose and her damn long sexy ass legs…." A picture of scarlet cheeks flushing behind those chocolate brown locks. That feeling to tuck her hair behind her ear came back in bio. I had to fight the urge. I didn't want to scare the poor girl. She already seemed fragile as it was, I thought as I recalled her gripping on the desk for support when she first came to our table. She looked almost faint. But those pink cheeks and those full lips that she kept biting. I groaned internally. What is this girl doing to me.

I would have to make it up to her tomorrow for being so rude to her at the end of class. But what would I say? I couldn't tell her the real reason, that would me feel even more vulnerable than I already was. This girl already had some strange control over me to began with.

I head the bell ring signaling the end of Spanish and I glanced up seeing Emmett looking at me annoyed. "Dude, didn't you hear anything I just said? I hope it's a girl that's making you so fucking distracted." he joked. I didn't say anything and his eyes got wide. "Is it? Is it a girl?" he asked almost jumping up in down as he followed me out of class. "Commmme on tell me man. Is it that Lauren chick?" he was asking about the girl I hit third base with a couple months ago. I snorted. Yeah, right. That girl was one shallow bitch. I never spoke to her again and she always gave me pleading eyes whenever I passed her in the hall. It was annoying.

"Shut up man. It's nothing." I muttered shoving him in the shoulder as we walked into the parking lot. "Is Jasper riding with you?" I asked quickly changing the subject. "Yeah. We are going to Rosalie and Alice's house to chill. You down?" I paused. I could go…I could go just to see Bella, she was staying there now. I shook my head fighting back temptation. I needed to play it cool. "No. I think I'll head home. I got a new CD I want to listen too." "Whatever dude. I'm going to go get my hands on some sweet, fine cheeks." he said winking at me. I shook my head and chuckled as I climbed into the Volvo.

When I got home I flopped myself at my piano. I paused for a moment and than began playing one of my favorite tunes. I closed my eyes and placed my fingers on the piano. The keys were soft, smooth and cold. Sounds flooded the room. It was a calming, harmonious hum. I changed the tempo and it flowed into a quiet, rich sound. It eased my soul. It was like my body went limp and my fingers just took over. Taking whatever feelings that were swooshing around in my heart and pouring them out into sound. It made me feel serene. My mind was freed of any unwanted thoughts as I let my body take over. The piano was one of the only things that could easily relax me if I was having a awful day or just wanted to get my feelings out.

Even though Emmett and Jasper often teased me, Carlisle and them would often sit on the couch nearby and listen. Though they would never admit to liking it, afraid to look unmanly. Expect Carlisle of course. He was never afraid to tell me what he thought and that he enjoyed my piano skills. Esme from across the street would often come over if she was knew I was playing the piano ahead of time. Her and my dad would good friends-maybe even something more? She would always sit on the couch with her eyes closed and a peaceful look on her face.

I sighed as the song came to an end. I felt at ease. "Wow." I heard a soft mumble. I spun around unaware that anybody was even listening. On the couch I saw Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice and…Bella. The calming feeling quickly went away and I started to feel mortified. It's different when you know somebody is listening but when your caught totally in the moment it was like being caught doing something so personal and private.

I stared in shock my eyes glazing over. "Hey man, hope you don't mind. The girls wanted to hang over here today. Carlisle over visiting Esme and they are acting all funny and it's weird. We offered their cousin Bella to come over cause she is new in town…." Jasper explained quickly noticing the alarm in my eyes.

I felt like I was being spied on. They caught me doing something I shouldn't have been. I eyed Bella quickly and noticed her looking uncertain and embarrassed like she understood what I was feeling. I was at a loss for words as much as I wanted to say something to her, to find an excuse and just hang out I couldn't. I got up and quickly disappeared up stairs trying to hide my shock and humiliation. I knew it wasn't something I should feel humiliated over…but I expressed a lot of my feelings, my confusion, my interest, strange fascination over Bella the past couple days into that song. It's almost like they knew my secret. "Ugh." I groaned pounding my fist against my door. If she didn't think I was rude before she was sure to think so now. I wonder what she was thinking…could I redeem myself tomorrow? Could I get the nerve to say anything to her? I melted unto my bed and closed my eyes praying sleep would wash over me so I can forget the gravitation trying to pull me back down stairs. But I couldn't. I couldn't go back down now, not after the way I acted.

I sat there on the couch with Jasper, Alice, Rosalie and Emmett. I don't even know why I agreed to come over when all they would be doing was making out, leaving me feeling awkward. Truth is I was hoping to see Edward and I was hoping he wouldn't be able to tell. I didn't even know if he felt the same way…if he was interested in me?

And here I was totally stunned by his music. He didn't even her us come in, he was so in tuned with his playing. It was like he was apart of the music. It was simply beautiful. It tugged at my heart strings like nothing I ever felt before. When he was finished and the sweet sounding music came to a end I couldn't help but to say 'Wow.' I was just so blown away. That's when he had spun around looking shocked, alarm and mortified. I wasn't sure why he was feeling embarrassed at first but I quickly caught on when he looked at me. We must of caught him in a private moment and it made me flush.

I couldn't say I regretted coming and intruding on his moment because the way he play was like heaven to my ears. A part of me was hoping he would stay and hang out and not leave me alone with this sickening, love struck people all engrossed with each other. The other part of me wanted to sink and hide for peering into his soul..like a peeping tom spying in a peep hole. After he dashed up stairs I felt sort of relieved. Disappointed he left, but relieved I could stop blushing.

"Um, is he always like that?" I managed to squeak out, also wanting them to stop making out for a moment or else I would have to go running for the door.

Rosalie cocked her head and looked at Emmett. Emmett chuckled. "Edward is so private when it comes to his music. His played for all of us at some point, even Esme, he was probably just caught off guard because you're here." Emmett explained.

"Yeah. Dude can be so emotional sometimes." Jasper chuckled. "We should get him laid." he said winking at Alice who rolled her eyes. I looked at my hands quickly. This was not the way I wanted to conversation to steer. I wasn't sure I wanted to hear about his sexual history. I would rather pretend he didn't, even though I knew that was stupid. Even I had some experience. I never had sex but even I made it to third base with my ex-boyfriend Jacob back in phoenix. We knew each other for most of our lives. My dad was best friends with his dad. One year we became exclusive and one thing lead to another. Things ended the end of last summer. Him and his dad moved down to La Push and he sent me a letter explaining how he ment a girl named Renesmae and it was nothing like he felt before. I was happy him but I def. didn't want to run into him. I knew how I was and I knew things would probably get awkward.

Rosalie laughed sounding amused. "Has he even made it all the way? Don't get me wrong, he is cute in all but he is no Emmet." she explained kissing Emmett softly on the lips. "I have yet to see him have a girlfriend." My interest perk and I started paying more attention.

"Um, he would probably kill us for talking about this but I know he hit third base with Lauren and some other girl named Mallory. He claims their not worth anything more than that." he rolled his eyes. "That's just Edward for you." Alice smiled. "I think it's nice he isn't out whoring himself around." she said thoughtfully. Jasper laughed. "Would you like me to start stop whoring myself to you?" he replied teasingly. She ticked him. "You better not." Alice answered with a twinkle in her eyes.

I groaned this conversation turning for the worst. "I'm out of here. You guys are making me nauseous." I smiled meekly. I stood up and felt a suddenly light headed and stumbled as I walked, tripping over air and landing on the floor. "Crap." I muttered feeling hot. Alice jumped off of Jasper's lap and helped me up. "You okay?" she asked as I heard the others snicker. "Ummm, yeah." I smiled at her, thanking her and rushed out the door in extreme humiliation cursing my stupid klutziness. Sometimes I wish my klutziness would belong to some underlying cause that Dr. Cullen could figure out. This way he could treat it and it would go away. Than again, I wanted to embrace it so I could prove to my parents that nothing was wrong.

I slipped into the front door noticing my Aunt Esme and Dr. Cullen looking awfully cozy on the couch. I raised an eyebrow staring at them feeling like intruded on another private moment. My Aunt Esme jumped and blushed slightly, inching slowly away from Dr. Cullen. "Hi Bella. Your back early." she replied as if to say "I didn't expect you back so soon." as she stole a glance to Dr. Cullen.

I frowned thinking how crazy it was that Alice was dating Dr. Cullen's nephew, Rosalie was dating his son and I was interested in his other son. Now on top of that my Aunt and the Dr looking cozy and comfy on the couch? Dr. Cullen quickly stood up from the couch and looked at my Esme. "It's alright. Somebody needs to watch the kids." he laughed gesturing to his house across the street. "Of course!" Esme replied jumping up. "Somebody needs to keep an eye on those hormones!" I cringed at the word. Did she have to say things like that?

"Nice seeing you again Bella. I'll see you Thursday for you appt, right?" he asked confirming my next appt. I nodded. "Yes Dr. Cullen." "Call me Carlisle." He insisted. "Any other symptoms I should know about?"

I shook my head. "Just some dizziness but that's probably because I stood to fast. Oh and just the usually klutziness." I told him. He nodded. "Alright Bella. See you Thursday." It might've been to fast but I thought I saw his brush Esme's hand slightly and I rushed into the kitchen to start dinner before I could witness anything else.

********

"Mmmm, what's that smell?" I heard somebody echo. I glanced over my shoulder and saw Rosalie peering in with her eyes closed, clearly enjoying the aroma of fresh herbs. "Meatloaf, sour cream and chive mashed potatoes with corn on the cob." I explained setting dishes out gesturing for to set the table.

At dinner Esme took a bite of food and sighed. "Thanks for dinner, dear. Sometimes I get so busy with work that the girls have to fend for themselves. This is a nice little treat." Alice nodded in agreement. "Yum!" she exclaimed. I laughed. "It's nothing. You will probably see me cook often. My parents aren't must chefs and I got tried of burned food so I took it into my own hands." I explained suddenly missing my parents. I decided I would email them tonight. I wasn't much of a phone person, sometimes my mom could go on and on.

I wondered into the computer room that Esme used as her home office and slid myself into the seat and flipped on the computer. It came to life in a low humming sound. Once it loaded I opened up the internet and logged onto my email. I already had a email waiting from my mom.

Hey dear. I would've called you, but I know how much you hate talking on the phone. I might just call anyways, you will just have to deal with it. Ha ha. I talked to my sister and she said your appt. went well and that Dr. Cullen wants to run some more blood work first, just to make sure nothing was missed.

You know how much I wish I could be there with you right now, hun? Ugh, it kills me to be so far from you. I so tempted just to quit my job. I'm sure I could find something there. I heard there was a opening in the police department. Maybe your dad could apply there? He always rambles about how much he misses Forks anyways…I'm not sure how I would handle that weather, but I would do anything to be near you!

Oh, your dad says hi and that he misses your cooking. I guess my burned chicken doesn't cut it. Ha ha. That's why they invented fast food, right? Well hun, let me know how your appt goes this week. I'll be in touch with Esme and the Dr. I love you and be safe. Have you went down to La Push to visit Jacob? I know you two have been broken up for awhile, but whatever happened to staying friends? I love you.

P.s. How was school?

I frowned. My mom was such a worry wart. Always so hasty.

Hey mom. I'm fine, don't worry. I honestly think you and dad are just jumping to conclusions and fretting over nothing. Didn't you ever stop to think that maybe I'm just clumsy? Maybe I just get dizzy? Maybe I just need glasses? Maybe it's is just a hormonal thing? I cringed at that word. I'm sure dad would love to move down here and work in the police department. Don't be so hasty, once the test results come back normal, you'll be wanting to snatch me right back up. You'll have to thaw me in the sun first.

I hesitated. Should I tell her about Edward? Everything is fine here, really. Alice keeps wanting to play dress up with me. When I arrived I even had a closet full of clothes. Go figure, right? Rosalie is her usual self. Absorbed in cars and her boyfriend. Aunt Esme..is well Aunt Esme. She reminds me of you and it's nice. But you all worry too much. I decided to hold off on telling her about Edward. I wasn't even sure what was going on with that myself. She would just end up gushing and begging for details. Probably even call my Aunt Esme up to gossip and to keep a better eye on me to make sure my "hormones" don't take control over me. If only she knew what happened with me and Jacob…..scratch that…she could never know.

No mom. I haven't even been in town that long enough to site see, let alone visit Jacob. I'm sure he is very busy with his girlfriend anyways. It doesn't matter, k? I bet dad misses fishing with Billy though. Ha ha. I bet his mouth is watering just thinking about fish fry.

School was okay. I made some new friends. They seem nice. There's one guy named Mike who keeps dropping all kinds of hints, but truthfully I'm just not interested.

I'm going to go. I have homework to do. Plus Aunt Esme stocked up on some books for me, so I want to get some reading done. I love you and give dad a hug for me.

-Bella

I hit send and turned the computer back off.. As I headed down the hall back into my room I could hear Rosalie and Alice gossiping. "Oh! Do you think Jasper will like this top? It's not too sluty, but it does show off some cleavage…." Rosalie giggled. "I don't know, but I'm thinking of wearing my new tight designer jeans tomorrow at school. They really define my butt, and my man is such a butt guy."

I groaned as I went to hide in my room, shutting the door quietly. If I had the guts, I would go in there and ask about Edward. But that might give me away, and I was not ready for that. I barely even knew him, and my cousins would just gush and gush and try to pretty me up. Even worse, talk to their boyfriends about it, and I'm sure Edward would hear all about it.

I tottered over to my desk in the corner of the room, steadying myself on chair, feeling a little faint again. I inhaled deeply and took a seat, while reaching over to my back pack to pull out my trig homework, along with the latest book I was reading. Pride & Prejudice. One of favorites in my collection…….
