I don't own twilight or New Moon

Ch. 2 Bella's POV

"What do you mean you can't read her mind?"

"I can't, I'm trying really hard but…nothing. It's like the first time I met you."

"We should keep an eye on her, just in case." Says Alice. The rest of English flew by. Then it was lunch. We sat at our usual table and waited for the new girl to walk in.

"She sure is popular." Says Edward.

"Everyone thinking about her?" I ask

"Yup" Just then she walks in holding her lunch tray with Mike Newton trailing her just like he had on my first day of school. Jessica is also there talking incessantly to her. She looks really bored.

"Let's ask her to sit with us." I offer.

"Ok!" says Alice. I raise my arm to get her attention.

"Serena, come sit with us." Relief immediately washes over Serena's face as she walks to our table. Mike looks disappointed and Jessica looks annoyed that she didn't get to finish her story.

"Hey!" she says. All of a sudden really animated and sprightly.

"Hey." Alice and I reply at the same time.

"Hi." Says Edward.

"I'm Serena and you are?"

"I'm Bella, and this is Alice and Edward."

"Cool nice to meet you."

"So you met Mike and Jessica." Says Alice

"Oh my God, ya thanks so much for saving me. I mean they're nice and all but that Mike is too nice… like kinda creepy and well Jessica never shuts up."

"Ya I know they were the exact same way when I moved here last year."

"Where did you move here from?"

"Phoenix."

"Really, cool I'm from New York, God I miss it there."

"Why did you move here?" All of a sudden her happy animated face darkens and her eyes cloud over and she says, almost too softly for me to hear:

"My parents died in a car crash ant I came to live with my uncle." None of us know what to say to this, we're all shocked. Then finally Edward speaks:

"I'm sorry, if it makes you feel any better Alice and I are adopted."

"Thanks, but I'm ok. Sooo what's there to do in the tiny town of Forks?" Then as quickly as her quirky charm left her it returns as if nothing has even happened.

"There's lots of stuff, like..." I start to say but notice Alice is staring at us. "What?" I ask.

"Nothing, it's just that you two look soooo alike, you could be twins."

"We do kinda look alike." Says Serena. Just then the bell rings and we all get up to go to biology. I don't pay attention I bio, I know pretty much all of it already. I can't help but stare at Serena; she seems to be very good at biology. I sneak a glance at Edward; he is staring at her too. No doubt trying to read her mind. The rest of the day flashes by and before I know it school is over. While Edward and I walk to his car I spot Serena getting into her red convertible mustang.

"Nice car." I tell her

"Thanks, it was my parent's last gift to me before they died." She smiles, but it doesn't quite reach her eyes. Then without another word she pulls out of the parking lot and drives away.

"Nice girl." I say

"Yes I agree, lets follow her."

So what do you think? Sorry the chapters are so short, they seem really long on paper. Well please review!!!
