Chapter 3: Just Friends

Bella's point of view.

When I woke up my face was tear stained and my eyes felt sore from crying. However, I knew that I had to wake up because it was my first day at Forks High School. I put on jeans and a plain brown long-sleeved t-shirt after I had showered. When I walked down the stairs Edward was sitting at the counter and Elizabeth was making eggs.

Edward and I had decided not to tell his mother about us talking last night. Edward was the only person in the planet who wasn't a murder or police officer that knew what I saw. I intended to keep it that way. I wasn't sure whom I could trust with this information.

I had also learned that Edward and Elizabeth did not tell anyone why I was moving to forks. They only told people that I was. I was grateful for that. I did not like to have people's pity. Elizabeth had made sure that I was in every class with Edward so I did not have to be as nervous.

Edward and I agreed that if anyone asked about my parents, he would tell them that they were no longer able to care for me. I was still very sad but I hid it away. I sat down at the counter next to Edward.

"Isabella, this is my son, Edward." She introduced me. Although I had already met Edward, and learned a lot about him, she did not know that.

"Please, call me Bella, good to meet you Edward." I said with as much emotion as I could dig up. I was glad to have at least one person know the truth. Edward seemed like the perfect person. I did not know if he felt it but I could feel something, a connection, between us.

I was afraid though, I thought of the possibilities if I let my self believe something that may not be true. One, it may not be true, I could just be being delusional and then I would look like a fool. Two, what if I let myself feel and fall, and he returns it, and what if something happens to him, just like my parents. Finally, third, what if I let my self feel, and I forget about my parents. I forget about what happens and I forget to remember them every day. I could not let that happen. So, I decided to take it day by day.

After we finished eating breakfast, Edward kissed his mother goodbye and led me to a silver Volvo. I got in and pulled my bag onto my lap, wrapping my arms around it.

"So, are you nervous?" he asked me. I looked over at him and nodded. I was extremely nervous. The one thing that kept me from puking was the fact that I didn't want to ruin his clean car. He turned on the radio and a classical song started playing. I remembered that it was on of my mother's favorites. She would play in again and again as she would cook, well try to cook. Tears started running down my face with out me noticing.

I was just staring at the radio silently crying. Edward looked up to see me crying and then noticed that I was looking at the radio and he quickly shut it off.

"Thank you." I said he nodded and smiled at me. When we arrived we just sat there for a few moments. Then Edward took my hand and squeezed it. Edward and Elizabeth hadn't told anyone why I was coming, only that I was. I was very grateful for that. I slowly got out of the car and met Edward in front. He smiled at me and I tried to return it but however, I failed.

"I'm sorry I don't have many friends to introduce you to. I like to keep pretty much to my self aside from my 4 best friends. Well, one I just tolerate because she is dating another one and is almost like a sister. But you will meet all of them at lunch." He said. I nodded and kept my head looking strait forward. The morning classes went by, I was bored with most of the material because I had already learned most of it from… them.

When lunch came around Edward lead me to a table in the corner of the room. I could feel people's eyes on me with Edward's hand on the small of my back guiding me. When we came to a stop in front of the table I was met with four sets curious eyes.

"Bella, This is Alice," he started and pointed to a very tiny girl who had black hair, that was strait and about to her chin and she had blue eyes. (A/N I don't know what color Alice's eyes actually were but I couldn't figure it out so I just put that.) "Jasper," and he pointed to a honey-hair colored boy with blue eyes. "Emmett," he pointed towards a very large boy, not large in the fat sense but large as in he was extremely muscular, with brown curly hair and brown eyes. "And this is Rosalie." He finished pointing towards an unfairly beautiful girl who also had honey-blonde hair and blue eyes. "Every one, this is Bella." I blushed and looked down at the tray of food that I was holding. I sat next to Emmett and across from Edward. Alice smiled kindly at me and I smiled but it did not touch my eyes. I knew, but I couldn't help it.

"So how do you like Forks so far Bella?" Emmett asked me. I smiled shyly and said,

"It's wet," he laughed.

"You're living with Edward right?" Alice asked, I nodded. "What's that like?" she said.

"I don't know it has only been one night." She smiled and nodded. I knew I was going to like her. They were all very nice and friendly. I had almost laughed at something Emmett said.

I think Edward saw that I was going to be sad for a very long time because under the table, he took my hand and squeezed it. I smiled at him weakly and continued to listen to the conversation.

Edward and I had Biology next and the teacher was giving information that I already knew so I just looked out the window for most of the class.

I did notice one boy in particular staring at me. He had spikes in his blond hair and blue eyes that seemed to be watching my ever move. He wasn't bad looking; I just had a bad feeling about him. I squirmed uncomfortably under his gaze and Edward noticed. He looked over at me puzzled. Then he looked up and his eyes narrowed. I could only assume that he had seen Mike looking at me. I just ignored his obvious eyes.

When we went to gym, we had to part in to separate locker rooms. Edward seemed a little anxious about leaving me but I assured him that I would be fine. When I got into the locker room, girls bombarded me with questions.

"Oh my god, you must be Isabella Swan. I am Jessica. So are you and Edward Mason dating? Are you living with him? Does he look good with his shirt off?" A girl with brown hair and a high pitched irritating voice. I just looked at her for a minute and then sighed and answered her questions and everyone stopped to listen.

"No, we are just friends, yes I am living with his family, and I really don't know. And please, call me Bella" I told them. Then I realized that I didn't have gym clothes to change into so I just walked out the other side of the door and told the teacher that I was new and that I did not have anything to change in to. He told me to sit on the bleachers and watch so I could learn what do for the next class. I just sat down and waited for the class to be over. Mostly I watched Edward. He was very graceful for a teenage boy.

When class was over I walked strait out of locker room and started to walk towards the parking lot. When and arm shot out in front of me his hand against the wall. Making it so I couldn't get out. I lust looked at the face of my imprisoner (A/N: not sure if that is an actual word). Mike Newton. He let his body move in front of mine.

"Hey baby, want to get some exercise tonight." He said looking at his friends and then cracking up. "You know we could get out of he and find a nice quiet little place to get to know each other, if you know what I mean." He said raising his eyebrows.

"No. Never. Never ever, not with you!" I said surprising my self. He looked as though it took a serious bit out of his ego. I was glad.

"Bitch," he pulled his fist back and I realized he was going to punch me. I just stood, waiting watching his eyes get angrier then I prepared my self for the hurt. But it never came. I opened my eyes and there was Edward standing next to me his hand pushing Mike's fist back.

"I wouldn't do that if I was you Newton." Edward said angrily.

"I though you said you were just friends, what do you care who I hit on?" He asked Edward.

"Well, since she is my friend, I do intend to look out for her, and I also do believe that you weren't going to hit on her, you were just going to hit her, and that is just unacceptable. Bella didn't deserve it so I suggest you back the hell of and leaver her alone." He growled. Mike just glared at him and turned away looking defeated.

I sighed. "Thank you." and then I wrapped my arms around him needing a hug so bad that it hurt.

A/N: so what do you think? originally i was going to stop it right before mike almost hit her, but i am nice that way and kept going. I dont know when I will write again. probably in the next 2 days. any how stay tuned!! REVIEW PLEASE!!! edward will give you a hug in your dreams ;)
