Hello my lovelies! I hope you are all enjoying your week. I still have time to post a chapter or two a week before I start my new job. Hope you all are enjoying your summer and your days are full of happiness and joyful memories.

Enjoy!

The sound of the alarm roused me from my sleep. It was exactly six o'clock when I hot the button and I unwillingly pulled back the covers. I went into the shower and then returned to the room to get dressed. As I passed my full-sized mirror I couldn't help but examine my features. I had brown, owl-like eyes with a small nose and big lips. My skin was similar to an apricot and I was about a size six or seven depending on the day. I didn't think I was ugly but I wasn't gorgeous either. The sound of my parents bedroom door brought me out out of my thoughts and I turned to get dressed. I brushed my hair out and put some leave-in strawberry scented conditioner in my hair and left it loose. I wore a knee-length floral summer dress with a light jean jacket with nude flats. I sprayed some perfume on me and put on some chap stick. I wasn't a fan of make-up so I hardly wore any. I grabbed my black knapsack off my desk and went downstairs.

I found my mother standing by the sink sipping on a cup of coffee while my dad ate oatmeal at the table. I poured myself a bowl of cereal as my poured a second cup and gathered her things.

"How many houses are you selling today?" I asked.

"I'm lucky if I even sell one!" She barked as she searched for her keys. My dad, not even stopping to eat, grabbed her keys by his coffee cup and handed them to her. I shook my head as a horn sounded outside.

"That's Angela." I said as I rose from the table and placed my bowl in the sink. I kissed both parents goodbye and walked out the door.

"Pass your test!" They both yelled as I walked down the porch steps.

I walked across the yard and climbed into Angela's silver buggy. As I put on my seat belt I glanced in the backseat and was faced with an empty car seat. "No Charlotte?" I asked as she started driving.

"I dropped her off at daycare before I picked you up." She replied as she glanced my way but kept her focus on the road.

"How's Ben doing?" It has been awhile since I last saw him. Angela and her boyfriend Ben both worked jobs to provide for Charlotte. Ben graduated a week before their daughter was born and was quickly hired at the Forks Steel Mill. He always worked sixty hours a week while Angela worked part-time at Fast-N-GO Burger.

"He's good. He's getting promoted soon. Instead of working the line he'll be inspecting machines now. It'll only be a couple dollar raise but he'll be working a lot less hours. He even said that if all goes well I might even be able to quit my job." She smiled.

"That's great!" I said honestly. They both worked so hard and could use a little rest since Charlotte was still a newborn.

"I need it. I hate my job and Ben really wants me to graduate too." She said as we pulled up into the student parking lot. As we approached the school building I noticed her outfit. She wore a green tunic with dark blue capris and brown flats.

"You look nice Ang." I whispered as she rolled her eyes. Angela got along so well because we hated attention. We were wallflowers. in a sense.

We walked into the main office to get our schedules. One would think that with the advancement in technology that the school would just email our schedules to us but I guess mine was still backwards. We still had to pickup paper copies. As I got mine Angela compared mine and hers.

First Period-Trigonometry

Second Period-U.S. History

Third Period-Gym/Health

Fourth Period-English

Fifth Period-Lunch/Study Hall

Sixth Period-Environmental Science

Seventh Period-Spanish

"Awe, we only have history and lunch together." Angela frowned as she looked between our schedules again.

"I know. I wonder what Jess's looks like? Who will she copy of off in math if we are not there?" I asked Angela rolled her eyes. we went our separate ways as I went to look for my locker. I noticed it was on the other side of the school but it was very close to my homeroom class. I opened the small metal door and placed a binder and a couple notebooks inside. But just as I was about to close the locker I felt my heartbeat speed up and my stomach flutter. I blinked rapidly as I held my palms against the lockers to try and steady myself. I glanced around me, hoping that I wasn't causing a scene but was relieved when no one payed attention. But the feeling didn't go away. I slammed the locker closed and started to move towards my homeroom door. However, as soon as I took one step towards the classroom my gut almost pulled me back. It felt as if there was a rope wrapped around my stomach and was pulling me in the opposite direction. I was debating whether to go back to my locker or not when the first bell rang. Not wanting to make a bad reputation of the first day of school I pushed my feet to the classroom and quickly sat in the first empty seat I found just as the second bell sounded.

I hardly remembered what happened during trigonometry and history. I don't remembered what was said or done during class. The pounding in my heart and my fluttering stomach was all that I thought about. It didn't lessen but become worse as time passed. When i got to gym class i was to sit out on class by saying I was on my period and having terrible cramps. Mr. Bryce quickly excused me just by looking at me. I just sat on the bleachers trying to get a grip of myself. Once class was over I quickly went to English and sat in the back. I felt my heart pound harder. Not even ten minutes into the lesson I couldn't take it anymore and asked to be excused to the bathroom. I practically ran to the bathroom and splashed water on my face. Once I dried my face off with a paper towel I looked at myself in the mirror. I was extremely pale. I took a couple deep breaths and walked back to class.

On my way back to my seat I noticed an unfamiliar face sitting next to me. Since Forks was a small town it was easy to spot familiar faces. She must have been one of the students. She had long, golden hair with high cheek bones and a straight nose that women get plastic surgery for. She had blue eyes and a blemish free face. She could have been a model. She stared bored out the winder but her looked my way. Her face was expressionless but not mean. She looked at me til I reached my seat and then turned her attention back to the window. I wanted to smile or say hello to her but my heart and stomach kept my focus.

As soon as the bell rang I jumped from my seat and walked quickly towards the nurses station. I could have been having a heart attack for all I knew. As I was passing the library my heart beat calmed a bit. Seeing that nobody was inside I opened the doors and walked inside. I waved to Mrs. Davis the Librarian and looked around the room. Only three students were scattered around the tables so I walked towards the book aisles and stopped in the middle of the fiction shelves. M heart did calm a bit but it didn't stop pounding. I covered my face with my hands and leaned my elbows against one of the shelves. What I didn't notice was that my elbows had knocked off almost half the shelf. I could feel my face sting with blush as I dropped to my knees and gathered the books in my arms.

As I was picking up the books I noticed a pair of red converses appear in front of me and a pair of pale hands reaching for the books as well.

"Thank you I'm so clumsy." I said feeling so embarrassed.

"That's okay. Everyone had their moments." A deep, masculine voice said.

I'm like this everyday. I wanted to reply back but once I stood and lifted my head to see his face I couldn't speak.

He was a whole foot or so taller than me and was lean. He had messy reddish-brown hair and eyes the color of green wore a red and blue plaid shirt with dark blue jeans. What i wasn't expecting was for the pounding in my chest to speed up but I didn't feel as if I was going to pass out but instead i felt light as if I was flying. He smiled at me and I felt as if I was flying even higher. "My name is Edward Mason. I'm the new kid."

I smiled back at him as I took a semi-deep breath. "I-I'm Isabella Swan. Well Bella. I like to be called Bella. It's nice to meet you."

I hate to end it here just when they met too but I hope you really liked it. Til next time!
