Chapter 2:

Alice introduced me to all of her friends. Emmett was huge. Tall and very muscular. Didn't surprise me he is on the football team. His girlfriend and also Jasper's cousin, Rosalie, was drop dead gorgeous. Perfectly blonde hair and beautiful piercing blue eyes that sparkled when she talked. Jasper was handsome and it was obvious they were cousins. Alice had said she had a crush but who knows how serious?

"Alice I bought you some…hello..you must be Isabella Swan?" The velvet voice gave me chills. I turned around to see the best looking guy in the world. He was seriously really cute. Our eyes instantly connected and it seemed like we were the only ones in the room. His eyes were swimming with dazzling green in them. He was so…STOP BELLA! CONTROL! When Alice interrupted us by coughing I immediately realized everyone around us. I bent my head down and blushed.

"I go by Bella," I said. Wow I needed help on how to not be so lame.

"Oh, I'm sorry Bella. I am guessing Alice has not said anything about me yet?" He said looking at Alice's innocent smile. I just shook my head.

"Well Bella," I felt butterflies as he said my name. Don't get too attached, Bella! "My name is Edward Cullen. I'm Alice's twin brother and Emmett's little brother."

"Oh, well it is very nice to meet you," I said as I smile at him.

After lunch was over I went to biology and noticed a familiar face as I walked in. "Hey, its Bella, right?" Edward asked a little shyly.

"The one and only," I said. He just laughed and gave me a knowing look.

The biology teacher let us pick our seats for the day and since I didn't really know anyone I started too walked towards the back table where nobody seemed to be.

"Don't be silly, Bella. Come sit with me," He left me breathless. After a few seconds of debating I got up and walked over by him.

The teacher passed out the syllabus to everyone and started to explain the rules. Everyone was whispering and looking at me. Great. I slid down in my seat and hid my face planning on staying there. The one thing that I couldn't ignore was how drawn to Edward I was. Hopefully this will fade because he seems to be a decent guy and I would like to be friends with him. The bell rang and Edward wished me luck as I left for gym. That boy did wonders with me while he smiled.

*~*

After a couple hours passed when I got home I decided to make some dinner. Steak and potatoes should be good enough.

Charlie got home and as we ate dinner I explained to him all of the things on the syllabus's and he signed them.

"So, did you make any friends today?" He asked hopefully.

"Yeah I met all of the Cullen's and the Hales. They seem very nice and welcoming. At least I had a place to sit at lunch today," I replied with a small smile appearing on my lips.

Charlie beamed with excitement. "They are some pretty good kids, Bells. I'm glad everything went well."

"Me too. I will see you in the morning. Night, Dad," I said eager to get to bed. I was defiantly not a morning person. "Good night Bella. Oh! One more thing. I was thinking of starting to take night shifts instead and then sleep during the day. Is that okay with you? I feel kind of guilty leaving you all alone..."

"That is perfectly fine, Dad. Now stop worrying and get back to watching your game!"

"Alrighty then," He said looking happy. He must have wanted to see me more. That is the reasons why parents take nightshifts right?

*~*

When I got to school Alice and Edward were waiting for me by their expensive cars. I guess I should have known they were rich.

"Good morning, Bella!" Alice said with too much excitement for this time in the morning. "How did you sleep?"

"Hi, Alice," I said sleepy. "I slept pretty well. But you should figure by now that not all of us are morning persons," I laughed lightly with Edward as she scowled. My little infatuation with Edward seemed to still be there clear as daylight. Not that I ever see daylight. Friends, Bella. He is your friend.

"Morning, Bella," the tasty velvet voice sang.

"Hi." I said breathless. Not emotions are overpowering you today, Bella!

"Shall we?" He asked while we headed to the building.

*~*

I got out of class earlier than usual and headed for the cafeteria. Only a couple kids were there and a finally spotted Alice and Jasper. "Uhm... Hey guys," I said cowardly.

"Bella! How is your day so far?" Alice asked while Jasper said a quick hi then focusing back on Alice.

"Pretty good. Since I don't know many people I just kept to myself but I have Edward net hour so..." I said lamely.

"What about Edward?" Edward asked on his way over.

"I was just explaining how I have class with you next hour," I defended myself quickly.

"Oh," he said not sounding interested.

Of course he isn't interested in you, Bella! He could have any girl he ever wanted! The thought made me cringe. I don't want to see him with other girls. Why? Who knows maybe I am just losing my mind.

"…Bella? Did you hear me?" He asked.

"I'm sorry, what?" Way to space out Bella.

"I asked if you would join me for lunch? I would like to get to know you better..." He trailed off slowly. Wait. Did I hear him correctly? He wants to get to know me?

"Why?" I asked curiously. Hope he doesn't take it the wrong way. Apparently he didn't has he laughed.

"Because you seem like a great friend and person!" He said. Is he stupid?

"I am really not that great. Seriously there are not a lot of things interesting about me..." I spoke slowly.

"You can't be that bad…Humor me," He said with the warm crooked grin that I loved on his face.

"Alright. So I guess I will see you later Alice?" I asked looking over to find her totally unaware of anything except Jasper.

"Er...yeah," she said blushing.

"Okay," I told Edward as we sat down. "What do you want to know?"
