A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed, I really appreciate it. I am now back from Churchill but will be camping for a week once again with no access to a computer. I will do a lot of writing over that trip though and update as soon as I get back. In the meantime, if you havent already you can read my other stories.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the Idea.

Chapter 3

"It'll be fine," I muttered to my self. I took a deep breath as I stepped out of my truck. Parked beside me was a shiny sliver Volvo. I stared at it for a second wondering who it belonged to when Mike walked over.

"Nice car eh?" he said. I shrugged in response not knowing anything about cars. "It belongs to those new kids, The Cullens.

"Oh, have you seen them yet?" I asked, slightly curios.

"No, but two of them are in my first class. " he replied.

"Okay, I only have one in Bio," I said, but at that moment the bell rang and I hurried off to class. My first two classes passed by quickly and uneventfully. By trig I still hadn't seen any of the Cullens. Although I definitely heard people talking. But everything I heard was contradictory. Some people said that they were all adopted but others were talking about how clearly they were all related. The only thing that the entire student body did agree on was that they were definitely all incredibly good looking.

As soon as Jessica walked in to class she sat down beside me and immediately started talking. Naturally it was all about the Cullens.

"They are all amazing!" she gushed. "They are definitely all adopted. The smallest one, Alice, told me they were. Mr. and Mrs Cullen. are really young."

"Wow, that's really nice of them to take in all those kids like that," I mused.

"Yea, but they cant have kids of their own," she replied as if it lessened their kindness. I just nodded.

"Anyways," She continued, "there are two in our grade, Alice and Edward. There are also three who are older. Emmett, Rosalie and Jasper. Rosalie and Jasper are the only two who are actually related. They are twins."

"Oh, cool," I said, as she was clearly waiting for my response.

"Yea, I have only seen Alice and Jasper, but it looks like they were together. And I hear that His twin sister and Emmett are definitely together. Edward is the only one who isn't with anyone." That kind of news even would have caused a stir in Phoenix.

"Wow," as I thought about what she said she launched in a very elaborate plot to get Edward Cullen to go out with her. When the bell finally rang we went to the cafeteria, got our food and sat at our usual table. I scanned the cafeteria and my eyes landed across the room at the table where the Cullens were sitting. I easily agreed with what Jessica had said earlier, they were perfect. I stared at them for a minute before Jessica noticed.

"That one there is Alice," she said pointing to the shortest one. She had spiky black hair and vaguely resembled a pixie. She look especially small next to her brother. "That's Emmett," she said noticing me staring at him. He had slightly curly hair and a huge goofy grin in his face. He was much bigger then the rest of them. He reminded me of a bear. "Across from him is Rosalie." she continued. By how she said her name I assumed she was very jealous of Rosalie. I tried to hide my smile but when I looked at her I immediately understood why. She looked like a goddess. She had beautiful long blond hair that cascaded over he shoulders. She had the body that any swimsuit model would kill for. Almost all of the guys were watching her. She was poking at her food with a slight frown on her face. "Next to her is her twin Jasper." He like the rest of his adopted siblings were beautiful. "and finally Edward." she said with a sigh. Right as she said his name he looked over at us. She giggled and looked away. He caught my eyes and looked at me with a slightly frustrated look on his face. I noticed that his eyes were coal black and head dark shadows beneath them. I quickly looked away blushing. When I was sure that he had looked away I looked back up. Although it was hard to tell it was him or Rosalie who was the most beautiful.

As lunch continued students slowly lost interest in watching the Cullens. When lunch was done they got up very quickly and walked out of the cafeteria. I was momentarily stunned by their grace. Even Emmett, despite his size, looked graceful as he walked to class. I walked slowly to class vaguely wondering which of the Cullens would be in Bio with me. As the class filled up there was still none of them here. But right as the bell rand Edward Cullen walked fluidly in to the class. He got his slip signed by the teacher and looked for an empty seat. Realizing that the only one was next to me he began walking towards it. I looked up at him and he had the same frustrated look on his face that he had before. I felt a breeze from behind me and I turned to see what it was. Mike had opened up a window. I smiled at him and turned as I heard the chair beside me scrape against the floor. I was about to introduce myself to him when I saw the look of pure hatred on his face. Instead I quickly looked down at my notebook and began to doodle. I looked up at him from the corner of my eye to see that he was sitting at the far edge of the desk leaning away from me but he was staring down at me again with that same look on his face. I blushed and looked back down making a curtain between us with my hair. When the teacher began his lecture I took careful notes occasionally peeking at Edward from the corner of my eyes. He never relaxed his stance. When class was almost over Edward practically ran to his next class. I tried to convince myself that it wasn't me, that I hadn't done anything wrong.

"What did you do to piss Cullen off?" asked Mike when he caught up with me.

"Nothing, I didn't even talk to him." I replied and shrugged. By that time we were already at the gym. Like usual we separated at the change room doors. I walked in, for once thankful that we were playing volleyball. Before changing my shirt I put wrist bands on, glad that they would cover the still very prominent bruises. I then quickly changed the rest of my clothes and walked out to the gym.

"I want to start the class by having all of you choose a partner and pass the ball back and forth." said our gym teacher. Naturally Mike was my partner. He bumped the ball to me perfectly and I attempted to do the same thing back immediately regretting it. The ball did go in his general direction but when it bounced off my wrists it hurt. Badly. I winced severely in pain and had to refrain from crying. To stop myself from doing it again I caught the ball and tossed it back to him. When we were finally playing a game Mike covered both my position and his. Our team even won two of the three sets. When gym was finally done I quickly got changed and walked out to my truck. I drove home slowly dreading the large pile of math I was assigned for today. When I got home I threw my bag on the ground and checked my e-mails knowing I had to answer the one from my mom. I skimmed through it one more time laughing once again at her strange new hobby and clicked reply.

Mom,

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply I have been very busy with school and Mike. We are doing great. My volleyball team won two sets today. I didn't really play though Mike covered for me. We got new students here now. I have one of them in Bio his name is Edward Cullen. I don't really know much about them because he completely ignored me all class. There are five kids in the family can you believe it? I'm just happy that there is someone here newer then me. I'm glad to hear you are keeping yourself busy. I never would have thought you would take up gymnastics though. It's great to hear that Phil might get a new contract. Tell him I say good luck.

Lots of Love,

Bella.

I shook my head again at the thought of Renee doing gymnastics. It was her who had given me my lack of coordination. I hit send and went downstairs to make dinner for Charlie. I looked around the cupboards searching for something finally settling on making pizza. I got out the necessary toppings and some dough and got to work. I started by chopping the onions. I was almost done when the tears from the onion juice blurred my vision and I sliced my finger. I quickly shoved it under cold water trying to think of it as red paint instead of blood. It was not working well and I began to feel dizzy. Thankfully the bleeding stopped easily and I calmed myself down. I finished chopping the onion now being much more careful and continued on with the pizza. As I was pulling it out of the oven Charlie came home. He walked straight to the kitchen smelling the pizza and sat down. We ate dinner in relative silence and followed our usual nightly ritual. When homework was done I went to my room and listened to music while I read. That was how I fell asleep.
