Bella's POV:

My first day at Forks High School, this should be interesting…maybe. I have been thinking about my encounter with Edward Cullen recently. I'm going to see him within the next two days. I still have no idea how I know I'd see him again, but I do.

After I met him I did some research and I now know his secret. I promised him that I wouldn't ask him again so I had to find it out on my own. If I'm correct, then he will look exactly the same as he did all the years ago, while I've gown up just a bit…about ten years of growing up.

"Well, here I go." I said to myself pulling into a parking spot next to a shiny, silver Volvo. "Nice car." I breathed getting out my truck. I wish I had a car like that; my truck is old and doesn't go near as fast as I'd like it to. I happen to be a speed demon.

I already got the slip I had to get my teachers to sign so I headed straight to my first period class. Once I had taken a seat in the back of the classroom a boyish looking guy came over and introduced himself as Mike Newton. Mike reminded me of a golden retriever.

"I'm Bella." I responded dryly after is introduction.

"How do you like Forks?" he asked.

I was saved from having to answer and make small talk by the teacher beginning his lesson for the day.

When class ended I tried to make a quick escape out the door, but Mike caught up to me and insisted on walking me to my next class. I wish he would just leave me alone, I'm a naturally shy person and I don't really feel comfortable around new people.

The first half of the day dragged by, I never could ditch my new puppy dog and all the material we've been over so far I'd already learned back in Phoenix. So far, this promises to be a dull two years.

At lunch I got my food and followed a girl, Jessica, to the lunch table her and her friends sat at. While everyone was chatting amiably I scanned the cafeteria for no particular reason. All of a sudden my eyes fell upon a table and my breath caught in my throat because sitting at that table was the famous Edward Cullen. The boy I met all those years ago, I'd recognize him anywhere. I knew I'd see him again.

Jessica apparently noticed me looking at Edward's table and began dishing all the gossip on them.

"The blonde girl is Rosalie Hale, the other girl is Alice Cullen, the blonde guy is Jasper Hale, the bulky guy is Emmett Cullen, and last but not least, Edward Cullen is the other one. They're all foster kids of Carlisle and Esme Cullen. They live together and they're together, Rosalie and Emmett and Alice and Jasper." She said like it was the juiciest information in the world, which I had to admit, even in Phoenix that would cause some whispers.

But all of the jibber jabber Jessica just said wasn't what I was pondering at the moment. I was wondering what I was going to do now that I'd found Edward again.

After a second of deep thought I decided to just walk over there and if he didn't want to talk to me then I'd just tell him that I know his secret. He'd have to talk then.

"What are you doing Bella?" Jessica asked shocked when I stood up from the table and started walking towards the Cullens.

When I was near everyone sitting at the table looked up at me except Edward who had his back towards me.

"Well, well, well. Look who was right. What has it been…ten years…since we last saw each other?" I spoke up getting his attention. He turned around and when he saw who it was his mouth dropped open causing me to giggle a little.

"Bella?" he asked disbelieving.

"The one and only," I replied smiling.

"Who the hell are you?!" Rosalie spat.

"I am Bella Swan." I answered her.

"And you know her how Edward?" she continued.

"We met…a long time ago." He replied still in shock.

"How long ago?" Emmett asked warily.

"It will be ten years ago in two days." I answered for Edward.

"I think you should sit down Bella." Alice said.

I sat down in between Edward and Alice and prepared myself for the many questions I'm sure will be thrown my way.

"How old were you when you met Edward?" Jasper asked.

"seven," that was an easy one.

"Where were you?" someone else asked.

Edward took this one finally coming out of his stupor. "It was in the woods by Chief Swan's house. We were living in Canada at the time and I was heading towards my meadow when I saw her."

"Exactly what all do you know?" Edward asked turning to face me.

"Everything except for a few of the minor details," I answered truthfully. I looked around the table and everyone's faces showed emotions ranging from disbelief to rage to worry.

"I haven't told anybody your secret, and I'm not going to." I told them trying to relieve them of some of the worry.

Everyone was just staring at me. "Say something. Please?" I asked them. It was starting to become an awkward silence.

"How do you feel about ditching the rest of the day? There are some things we need to discuss." Alice piped up.

"I guess we can, but I'm going to get in a lot of trouble for this. There are no secrets in Forks." I told her.

"There were." Rosalie mumbled under her breathe.

"Don't worry; we won't let you get in trouble." Edward told me ignoring Rosalie.

"Let's hope not," I mumbled causing everyone to smirk.

When lunch was over Rosalie, Jasper, Emmett, Alice, Edward, and I all casually walked to the parking lot.

"Follow us in your truck." Edward instructed.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"To our house, Carlisle and Esme are home. We're going to have to discuss this." He said seriously.

"Discuss what exactly?" he was being rather vague.

"Discuss what we're going to do about someone knowing our secret, or thinking they know our secret at least, and also how I could be so stupid as to expose us like that." He said gloomily.

"Okay, there are a lot of things wrong with what you just said. One: I know that I know the secret. Two: you didn't really expose yourself; you didn't tell me the secret or anything. Three: The only stupid thing you did was doubt me. By the way I really hate it when I'm doubted. It bugs the snot out of me. And Four: Are you really going to do anything about me knowing, I mean, I'm not going to tell anyone?"

"I don't know yet. That's what we're going to find out. Now follow the Volvo." He said again.

"Wait," I said stopping in my tracks. "You're the owner of the Volvo?!" I asked.

"Yeah, why?" Edward asked confused.

"You are so lucky! It's only one of the most awesome cars in the entire world! And it's really fast!" I said excitedly.

"Yes it is." He chuckled.

"My old truck doesn't go over 55 miles per hour. How bad does that suck?" I complained.

"I feel sorry for you Bella, I really do." Emmett said. "Everyone in the family has the need…the need for speed." Everyone chuckled at his use of the line from Top Gun.

"Stop playing around you guys! I want to get home and get this pest out of my hair right this instant!" Rosalie said in a shrill voice talking about me.

"F.Y.I., I'm not a pest and you really shouldn't assume anything when you don't even know me." I told her heatedly.

"Holy shit," Jasper breathed. "You two need to calm down. Bella let it go and Rosalie stop…well…just stop." He told us.

"Fine," I said.

"Whatever," Rosalie said. I could tell that she was going to be a bitch.

Jasper's POV:

I was wondering why Alice was so extra happy today, and now I know why. It's the new girl. She must have seen something about her. The girl, Bella, must have some guts; she just stood up and walked over to our table. No one has done that all year and now she's even going to our house. Does she really know our secret?

But what I'm really pondering is Bella's emotions. I mean, she was giving off some odd feelings for someone that has never met us, except for Edward ten years ago. I wonder if she's even aware of these emotions. No…I'm sure she is…they're to strong for her not to know about them.

Rosalie is really pissed right now. No one outside of our family has ever bowed up to her like Bella just did and we're all shocked. Those two are going to cause some memorable arguments. I don't have to have Alice's power to see that.
