Unknown POV

Who was she i thought to myself? I've never seen her around here before i left the mall with a strange feeling something I've never felt before. Its as though I've known her all my life. It was strange to say the least. My mind raced wondering if i would see her again? Wondering what i would say to her if i did? Maybe she's new here? Maybe she's going to be going to Forks High? It would be great if she was. Then all i would have to do is find the courage to go up and talk to her. I guess ill find out on Monday i thought.

Bella's POV

On my way home after i drop off Jacob and the guys my mind still drawn to the mysterious guy in the mall. Wondering when i might see him again i hope he goes to my school. I get home to Charlie sitting outside on the porch. I wonder if he was waiting up for me of course he acted as if he was doing something important outside. He tells me he's getting take out for dinner and asks if Chinese is fine i tell him im not that hungry but Chinese sounds good. I've always had a fondness for fortune cookies i tell him he laughs and says that he'll ask them to send some extra. I make my way to my room to e-mail my mom. I ask how her day was and tell her my day was good i tell her i had fun at the mall and got some clothes for school. I change into my sweat pants and a t-shirt and go down stairs. Charlie tells me the food is here we sit at the table to eat conversing about each others days. He asks when or if i will hang out with the guys again. I tell him im not sure.

We finished eating shouldn't have ate so many fortune cookies. I put the dishes in the sink and tell Charlie that im going to go to bed. I lie in bed thankful that everything worked out. Happy that im finally home six in the morning my alarm blaring. I push it off of my night stand and climb out from underneath the covers. Quickly and lazily making my bed i brush my teeth and take a shower. Excited and nervous for my first day at a new school. I go to the closet to pick out my outfit i pick my black leggings with a dark blue denim skirt and a black and pink striped long sleeve shirt with a pair of black flats. I blow dry and straighten my hair and put some make up on i go downstairs Charlie already gone to work duty calls i thought as i made some toast and got a glass of orange juice. I lock the house and get into my car off to school time for a fresh start i said to myself.

When i got to school all eyes seemed to be fixed on me must be the only new kid this year either that or they really love my car i thought as i got my schedule from the office and made my way to my first class. I was the first one there i wanted to get a seat in the back before every one got there. Im happy that its the first day of school because other wise i wouldn't be able to have dibs on the seat in the back. I sit down and put my bag behind me and take a look around at my new fellow classmates as the bell rings and everyone takes there seats. The teacher seems nice even though Math is boring i hate the first day of school the teachers just explain the same thing over and over again. What we will be learning and all of the school rules. Whatever i thought to myself as long as i don't have any assignments.

We have a few minutes to spare before the bell rings our teacher being kind enough to let us talk amongst each other. I start up a conversation with this girl that sits in front she says her name is Angela. She asks how am i liking it here so far and what other classes i had? She seems nice we talk until the bell rings as i look at my schedule next up English. I make my way to the class room hoping to get another seat in the back. This class just like the previous is mind numbingly boring. The teacher once again explaining the curriculum and the rules that we already know. Thank god the bell rang i make my way to my next class one that im actually excited about. Dance something i did at my last school the class was all girls which was cool i guess.

The teacher said we will get our lockers tomorrow. Before the class was over i began talking to a girl named Alice. Nice girl but super hyper i thought. I wondered if she was on medication or if someone should prescribe her some i don't see how someone could be so happy especially at school. The bell rang and i went to get my books for my next class. I saved myself a trip so i wont have to get them during lunch. I went to the cafeteria and got in line Angela was in line next to me she invited me to sit and eat with her and her friends i accepted. i got my tray and followed her to her table as she introduces me to her friends. There was Mike, Eric, Jessica, and Tyler they all seemed nice. they all wondered how i ended up moving from Phoenix to Forks? I explained to them that my dad was Chief Swan and i hadn't seen him in a long time and i wanted to come and live with him and i needed a change of scenery. We sat and talked for awhile just as i felt someone tap me on my shoulder. It was Alice she asks if i would like to go and sit with her and her family i told the others that i will talk to them later and it was nice meeting them.

I follow Alice to her table where i met Edward, Jasper, And Rosalie. I wondered how they were related just then i spotted him the guy from the mall and he was walking my way. I asked Alice who he was she said that his name was Emmett and that he was her brother. What are the odds of that i thought my hands sweating nervously thinking of what i was going to say wondering if he remembered me from yesterday. The lunch bell rings just before he gets to the table we both smile at each other as if to say maybe next time. I walk to the next destination on my schedule with Emmett on my mind. I make my way into computer science class already almost filled to capacity but i manage to find an empty computer.

I take my seat another class of explaining the rules i thought just as my computer beeps and tells me i have a new message. What could this be i thought as i opened it? The message read.

Hi remember me?

I look around the class room wondering who could have sent it. I respond back

remember you from where?

I get a return message a couple of seconds later reading.

Remember me from when you almost knocked me down?

I instantly knew it was him. He does remember me i thought. I scan the class again this time i spot him sitting in the back of the class. He looks at me with a smile i smile back hoping he doesn't think im an idiot since i know i smiled way to big smiling from ear to ear i hope i didn't come off goofy i thought? Almost like a kid in a candy store.

I write him back and tell him

i am sorry for yesterday. He says

its no big deal if u never ran into me we never would have became a couple.

Wow that was forward i thought maybe he was just joking or maybe he's one of those guys that thinks he's gods gift to women? Well he certainly looks like he is with his beautiful smile his dark brown eyes and his broad shoulders.

Emmett's POV

I wonder if she knows im joking i hope she doesn't think im one of those guys. Finally i get a chance to talk to her and there's the damn bell again. I walk up to her nervously and introduce myself.

''Hi my name is Emmett nice to finally meet you''.

She responds ''Hi honey my name is Bella wow im so honored to be your girl friend''. She smiles as i stutter and say.

''Oh im sorry i was just trying to be funny i couldn't think of anything else to say and i wanted to talk to you i hope i didn't offend you''?

''No'' she says ''its OK i can take a joke so how are you? Still hurting from the collision''?

''Yea a little i still have some pain in my shoulder. We should exchange insurance information''. She laughs and agrees i ask what her next class is?

''P.E.'' she replies.

''Me too'' i said'' looks like our first date'' i laughed.

''No actually our second'' she said ''on the first date you almost knocked me on my ass''.

''Sorry about that well let me make it up to you and escort you to your next class. I would carry your books for you but its P.E''.

''Well you'll just have to carry them to the class after that'' she says with a smile.

''Its a deal'' i said as I extended my hand out to help her from her chair. She takes it our hands meeting sending a tingling sensation throughout my body. Her skin so soft and warm unlike mine. She asks in what way am i related to Alice and the others? I tell her we are all adopted except for Rosalie and Jasper they are twins. I tell her we all live with Dr. Cullien and his wife Esme they took all of us in a couple years ago. It must be hectic in your house living with a bunch of teenagers she says. I laughed and said no its not as bad as you would think we all get along pretty well.

I look around and notice that everyone is staring at us. ''Hot new couple right here better make some room were contemplating marriage how many kids did you want again honey'' Bella says out loud as the people start to look away. We both laugh as we arrive at the gym i tell her its a unisex P.E. class so i might just accidently bump into her again and if i do i apologize ahead of time.

''I can get pretty competitive when it comes to sports even if it is just P.E.'' i said.

She laughs and says ''OK ill make sure to look out for you but i must also warn you i can get competitive to so you should be the one on the lookout''.

''Oh OK i see i like a girl who can play sports'' i Replied.

I tell her that im going to go and get something to drink as i walk to the water fountain i see Mike approach her and start up a conversation. I can tell Bella is uncomfortable and doesn't want to talk to him so i intervene and say.

''Hey Mike why don't u back off of my girl''.

As i put my arm around her she looks at me and mouths. Thank you as Mike steps back almost tripping and says in a frightened voice.

''Oh man im so sorry i didn't know she was your girl friend''.

I reply ''yea well now you know so spread it around Bella's Mine and anyone who wants to talk to her has to come threw me first''. Bella looks at me and smiles trying not to laugh.

''Oh OK Emmett ill tell everyone just don't hurt me im sorry i didn't know''.

He then looks at Bella and apologizes as i say.

''Hey bro i just told you to step off bitch don't even look at her look at the floor not at her''.

I get close to his face and say in a loud stern voice ''Boo''. He stumbles back and falls sliding across the floor of the gym he gathers himself and runs out of the gym. As Bella bursts out laughing and says.

''Oh my god you are so mean''. I say in a cocky voice

''well yea i gotta protect my chick thats how we do it in Forks'' in both laugh as our eyes connect for a second almost as if we were staring into each others souls.

''I've never met anyone like you before'' i say

she responds.''Is that a good thing or a bad thing''?

''Good'' i tell her ''definitely a good thing''.

Bella's POV

I've never met anyone like you either i thought to myself. I hope im not falling to fast and what about Chase oh my god Chase. Talking with Emmett i totally forgot about Chase how could i forget about my boyfriend does that mean i don't love him as much as i thought? Making our way to my car after school accompanied by Emmett my phone rings.

Its Chase i quickly hit ignore and continue talking to Emmett. As he asks if i would like for him to show me around? I said ''yes'' even though I've been in Forks almost every summer since i was born i still acted as though i didn't know my way around town. Thinking to myself there i go Lying again. But this time it was for a very good reason. Only because i want to spend more time with him. Before i start the car his family pulls up next to us in a silver Volvo. Emmett tells them that he will be home later that he's going to show me around a bit. I start the car and we pull out of the high schools parking lot looking into the rear view mirror i can see him looking at me in the corner of his eyes. He sees me looking at him and we both quickly turn our heads. '

'So where to i ask''?

''Ugh i don't know'' he says laughing softly. We drive off as the sunsets behind us not really knowing where were going just happy that were going somewhere anywhere together.

We drove for what seemed like miles my mind not really caring if we had a destination. It didn't matter to me just sitting next to him was enough. He started giving me directions until we reached a wooded area he instructed me to pull over off to the side of the road where there was a path leading into the woods. Before i could ask where we were he opens his door and bolts out of the car leaving me sitting there dumbfounded. I quickly exit the car following him down the winding path leading deeper into the forest it was becoming increasingly harder for me to keep up with him. I must not be in shape i thought as i chased him until i could no longer see him.

''Emmett'' i yelled out with no response i kept following the trail until i reached a shallow creek just as i caught a glimpse of him in the corner of my eye he was sitting on top of a bolder overlooking a water fall. i approached him as he looked back at me smiling.

''Im glad you could keep up'' he says. Barely i respond ''this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen'' i told him standing in awe of what i was witnessing.

''You think so'' he replied. ''The first time i saw you in the mall you reminded me of this place'' he told me.

I sat down next to him obviously blushing i asked him how he found this place.

''I don't even remember to tell you the truth it's Just a place I've always came to whenever i need to think or just want to be alone it just gives me this feeling of peace and happiness. Like not everything in the world is tainted there are still some things that remain untouched unaffected by man truly awe inspiring still as beautiful as the day it was created''.

I understood what he was saying as i stood engulfed by the untouched beauty in front of me. Oh and the waterfall was nice too i thought laughing a little underneath my breath

''so tell me about yourself'' he asks.

''Well i used to live down here when i was little until my mom and dad split up. Then i moved to Phoenix with my mom but i couldn't live there it just wasn't for me. And plus i really missed my dad so i thought what better way then to have a change of scenery too start over and get the chance to spend time with my dad''.

''Well im glad you decided to come back'' he said.

''Yea me too'' i respond as i feel a slight chill come over me.

''Are you cold'' he asks quickly taking off his jacket and rapping it around me.

''Thank you can i ask you a question'' i said nervously.

''Sure'' he says ''anything''.

''Are you a robot or something because you seem to good to be true'' i said laughing but still nervous to hear his response as the breeze cascaded around us blowing the leaves along the ground the trees whistling almost in perfect harmony.

He turns to me and smiles lifting his arm to me and slowly brushing the strands of hair. that the wind was blowing along the side of my face away from my eyes. Gently tucking them behind my right ear he looks into my eyes and says.

''I was thinking the same about you'' as he leans towards me and softly kisses me on my lips. My hands shake a little as the butterfly's in my stomach flutter his lips so soft his touch so comforting. I kiss him back melting into his arms as he holds me while we gaze at the water fall with the sun setting behind it. Feeling as though i could stay here with him in this moment forever.

Tell me what you think
