I know this chapter is short-but enjoy! I do not own the rights to Twilight Characters, Stephanie Meyer does.

After class, it was lunch time. Standing in the crowded lunchroom, my eyes scanned room the cafeteria for spiky, black locks. I was supposed to meet Alice here, but I couldn't find her anywhere. Right as rejection set in, a pair of small hands wrap around mine.

"Bella, I finally found you! My family already has a table, I want you to meet them" Alice giggled, pulling me further into the cafe.

Don't panic Bella. You got this. You're just meeting new people, it's fine.

By this time, I was seriously regretting my decision, I mean, I enjoyed sitting with my friends at lunch.. Sometimes. I turned to look back at where I usually sat and my fate was solidified, no one noticed I wasn't there besides Jessica, who was glaring daggers at me because I got to the new kids first.

Thanks for having my back guys! I sighed, mentally bracing myself.

"Guys, this is Bella. She's my new friend, She'll help us blend in more!" Alice states, holding me out like a prized pig in front of her family.

Holy Fuck. What is with these genes. All of the Cullen's were stunning. They all had pale skin, and gorgeous topaz eyes, clearly I was in over my head.

Blushing, I murmured, "it's nice to meet you guys" and took a seat right next to Alice at the table.

"Bella, this is my boyfriend, Jasper" Alice beams, wrapping an arm around his. My eyes flickered to Jasper, he had wavy blond locks and a sharp jawline, his eyebrow had a thin scar through that made him look sexy-but dangerous. His teeth gleamed as he shoot me a smile.

"Hello Bella, I'm sorry Alice already took you hostage" He laughs, kissing her forehead. He had a southern drawl, it was interesting to listen to, I smile back at him and said hello as well.

"Bella, this is Jasper's biological sister Rosalie and her boyfriend, Emmett" She said as she motioned over to a beautiful blond girl sitting next to a extremely muscular guy. Rosalie was beyond words. Her hair, like Jaspers, was blond and flowing down her back in waves, her eyes were the same shade of amber, and she had gorgeous features, she was perfection. I shrank as I looked at her.

"Bella, it's so nice to meet you. I guess Alice can't help herself to making friends so fast" She laughs, smiling at me sincerely, I already liked her.

"Bella! Ease up, you look like you think we're going to take you hostage" Her boyfriend Emmett booms, shooting me a grin.

He was large, but in a toned way. He had short, brown hair that waved up like Rosalie's, he had cute dimples which seemed coincide with his personality. Like Rosalie and Jasper, I liked him right away.

"I'm sure you're just awestruck from my beauty, of course" He states, which results in a light smack on the back of his head from Rosalie.

It seemed like Alice's family members were so different then each other but that's what made them stronger. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but I felt like I was welcome here, and maybe even belonged.

"Last but not least, my brother Edward" Alice states, calling my attention over to the boy I saw in my English class.

If I thought the back of his head was sexy, I was in for a rude awakening when I actually saw his face. I was gobsmacked, Thick, full eyebrows that rested above gorgeous, big amber eyes, he had a straight nose, which lead to full lips, then down to a sharply cut jaw. I couldn't stop looking into his intensely deep eyes… that happened to be staring right into mine. I flushed, he was so sexy.

"Hah- seems like Edward's already a big hit with the ladies" Emmett barks, wiggling his eyebrows, with another smack upside the head from Rosalie.

If I was red before, I was a tomato now.

"Ni-nice to meet you Edward" I said, looking down at my pizza.

"You as well" He softly stated.

I don't know what it was, but I felt closer to the Cullen's more than I ever felt with Mike, Jessica, and even Angela. They were so welcoming, kinda like it was meant to be.

Smiling, I look at my new friends, a fresh start was taking place.
