Bella's POV

The bell rang, signally that I was late for class. "That's great." I muttered to myself. I was pretty much alone as I walked down the hall towards my first class. "Here goes nothing." I took a deep breath as I opened the door and walked into the classroom.

The teacher had just started taking attendance; "Alice Cul.." she stopped midstream to look at me. "You must be Isabella Swan." She was smiling and walking towards me.

"Uh, yea, but I prefer Bella." I mumbled to her. I could feel my face getting red. I hated that she was making such a big production of me.

"Please, come in, Bella. I'm Miss Davis. You can have a seat..." She quickly scanned the room.."Next to Alice. Alice, please raise your hand dear."

I looked as this tiny beautiful girl that raised her hand and beamed at me. She was stunning. Her hair was dark brown, almost black and it was cut short and it sort of stuck up everywhere, but it didn't look messy, it fit her tiny face. It made the fact that she was so pale even more noticeable. She had the prettiest eyes also. They were the most unique color, brownish, goldish. I couldn't quite say which color they were.

I made my way down the aisle to where she was and smiled at her as I sat down. She leaned over to me and said, "Hi, I'm Alice Cullen and you and I are going to be great friends, I can tell!"

"Well, Ok, if you say so." I laughed lightly as I said this. Seriously! Who was this girl? Why would she assume that we were going to be great friends when she didn't even know me?

"Oh, I do know so!" Her smile was huge on her tiny face. I just nodded, I really didn't know what to say to her.

The teacher started taking attendance again and the class started.

The class went fairly smooth. I knew what the class was doing. I'd studied AP English in Phoenix, so I had done this lesson long ago.

When the bell rang at the end of class I jumped a little and ended up knocking my books and things off of my desk.

"Darn it!" I bent down to pick them up, but they weren't there. "What, where?' I sat up and all my books where on my desk. Alice was standing in front of my desk, she was smiling at me. "So, what is your next class? Can I see your schedule?"

"How did you? When did you? Huh!?" I was fumbling over my words. This girl was a little on the strange side. "um, I'm not sure what I have next, actually." I got into my folder and pulled out my schedule.

She was leaning over the desk reading my schedule upside down. "Ohh yippee!" "We have lunch and gym together!"

"Well, I, uh, guess that's good?" I wasn't all to sure about that. Did I really want this, this…hmm….What was she? Overly friendly? "Way to go, Bella." I thought smugly. I'm suspicious of the first kind person I met.

"It'll be a blast, you'll see." She was skipping in front of me.
