AN: Previously, Edward asked if he can join Bella for lunch. Charli was so excited to hear this news. Bella went to her English class & Edward came to sit next to her.

Thanks for all the Reviews and alerts!! and for the suggestions.. will try to take them all on board! hope you like it!! :) Enjoy..

When I looked up to see Edward sitting next to me I also noticed a group of giggling girls at the door. Staring in my direction.. no wait.. his direction.. of course.. I didn't wanna be rude but I can't stand those girls. & I could see that they were coming this way..

"Hey.. again.." I said simply and turned back to my doodling, and sure enough, the girls came up to our desk & started to talk to Edward.

"Hi I'm Lauren, You must be Edward" He looked in my direction before answering.

"yea, that's me." The girls giggled some more..

"so how are you finding forks so far?" Kate asked, blushing.

"uhhh… good. I guess? It's only the second hour of my first day.." Edward replied.

"So where did you live before?" Liz asked but before Edward could answer Lauren was asking a different question.. "Did you have any girlfriends there? Is it true that you're a model?" Oh my god!! She didn't beat around the bush did she? I decided not to listen anymore.. why should I, these girls just piss me off anyway.. but Edward looked at me at that moment as if to check if I was listening, why would he care if I were listening? What difference did it make to him?

"Uhh.. no not a model.. umm.. was living in Alaska.. & I'm sorry.. I don't talk about my love life with strangers" there was a smile in his voice. Urrrghh.. he is egoistic and vain. I knew it! shallow too no doubt!

"aww!! Come on!! We won't tell." Lauren said sounding desperate.

That's when Mrs. Wood came in and called order in the class. I was relieved. I didn't talk to him for the rest of class neither did he try to talk to me…

As class ended I started to pack up my things.

"I guess I'll see you at lunch..?" Edward asked me.

"yea, I guess" I replied and walked out of the room. I guess that was a little rude. I didn't like being rude to people. I always tried my best to be polite and welcoming. I started to wonder if Edward was planning to sit at our table everyday. No.. I doubt it.. he will probably get pulled away from our table today and never come back, I was hopeful.

I had Maths now. I was seriously hoping for no more surprises, such as a third class with the school's new celebrity, I was pleased when I walked into Maths seeing the class full except for the teacher, and no Edward in sight. I sat down next to a girl I didn't recognize. She was so beautiful, she had short spiky hair, she looked so pixie-like. I couldn't help but admire her beauty. "Hi" I said as I sat next to her.

"Hi, Bella right?" she said. Whoa! How the hell did she know my name?? my face must've given me away because she started laughing.

"I heard your friend scream your name this morning.." she said answering my unspoken question.

"oh" I said. " right. Umm.. so you must be new here." I didn't quite know what to say.

"Yea, My name is Alice." She said as she held out her hand.

I shook it. "Nice to meet you Alice…umm.."

"Cullen" she laughed. Cullen? As is Edward's sister? Oh gosh!! Could I not escape?

"Cullen? Are you Edward's sister?" I had to ask. Well Charli was right about one thing. They are all very beautiful!

"You have met Edward?" She asked. "Yes, he is my big brother"

"Oh, yea, umm.. he is in my biology and English class" I said. Lost for words again.

"Ahh.. was he showing off? He usually does.." I laughed.

"what do you mean show off?"

"I'll take that as a yes" she laughed "I hope he didn't bother you! If he did just let me know.. I'll fix it" she said seeming very genuine.

"thanks" I said "I may need it.. he is my lab partner.. and he is also sitting at my table at lunch" I said being cheeky"

She laughed "well then you definitely need it! umm.. do you think there is space for just a few more at your table too?" I sensed this would happen. She was definitely more genuine. She wasn't asking just for her, she was asking for her family and she made it clear. Hmm.. I guess, I we take 2 Cullens we might as well take all 5.

"for you and your family? Sure.. there are 5 of you right?"

"yes, thank you Bella, you are very kind." Aww this is why I'm nice to new students.

"aww! You're so sweet! You're much nicer than Edward!!" I teased.

"oh you aint seen nothing yet" she said giggling. Maybe I was wrong about this family. Maybe it was only Edward that was proud.. but he seemed polite too. Hmm.. I still didn't understand Edward, but maybe Alice could help me there. I like Alice already, she was sweet and down to earth. Now I was looking forward to lunch. Only one hour left…

"So Bella, is that short for Isabella?" Alice asked me.

"uhh.. yea.. but I much prefer Bella." I said, hoping she wasn't thinking of calling me Isabella now. She laughed, she was very cheery and happy, it was easy to see.

"Well I think they're both beautiful names." She said. Wow! Is she serious?

"Really??" I said making a face.

"yes really.." she said laughing at my expression.

"Well what about Alice. That's a wonderful name, its so short and sweet. Not like 'Isabella Swan'.. I was never fond of my name. I like Bella, but Isabella annoys me. Its too long and girly.. Alice laughed again.

"you are quite peculiar" she said. Bringing about a sense of Déjà vu. I do believe that Edward had said the same thing in Biology.. was I really that strange?

"you know that is a popular opinion today.. I must admit.." I said with heavy implications.

"ahhh.. Edward?" she said. Understanding me immediately.. I laughed.

"you know if I didn't know any better I'd say you were a psychic or something." I said giggling. She gave me a shocked look. I couldn't decipher it. but I assumed that she was shocked that I believed in such nonsense.

"I'm kidding" I said quickly. "I mean I do believe in magic, quite strongly but I do know that psychics are just about as real is Vampires" I said. But I seemed to be making it worse. Oh shit. She thinks I'm a freak! What have I done? " Umm Alice??" I said worried.

"sorry, I just, didn't realize that anyone here believed in the supernatural.." she said. Snapping out of it. was it that strange to believe in the supernatural. It looked like I had offended her but I didn't understand how. I remained quiet for the remainder of the lesson. Too scared to make things worse..

AN: Hope you liked it!!.. :) look out for chapter 4 to see what happens at lunch.. & to meet all of Bella's friends.. :)
