The day was going by so slow. I suppose it was because it was the first day of school. Or maybe it was because it was fourth period and I had not seen one glimpse of my mysterious stranger.
I wanted it to be the first answer, but of course it wasn't. I just didn't want to admit to myself that
I had been searching the halls all morning for him. It would only prove that I had stalker-ish
qualities towards him, and I didn't want anyone finding out. Especially Alice. O Lord, if Alice knew,
I would be bombarded with so many questions that I might have an earache from how loud she
would talk or how much she would talk. Or perhaps both.
The bell rang and I walked outside to find Alice against the building waiting for me. As we walked,
I pondered my morning.
In second period, I recognized the Edward's brother. The one who looked like he was on steroids.
He was late and when he walked into the room, he had the biggest, goofiest grin that made me wonder why he was so damn happy. He apologized for being so late and then stalked over to the only seat available... which just so happened to be right next to Lauren Mallory.
That preppy bitch tried to flirt with him through class. I analized their conversations thoroughly. They were being loud enough so that the whole back two rows could hear.
During one of Lauren's attempts at seducing him, which by the way NONE of worked, he snapped.
It was quite funny.
"So, Emmett. What do you say to you. Me. After school. My house. Sound good?"
"Look you little skank," he hissed. "I have a girlfriend who is way hotter than you will ever be. Do
you know how bad she would beat your ass if she found out you were trying to seduce me? Well,
let's just say that you might be in the hospital... So unless you want your ass beat, I think you better
leave me the hell alone."
Woa. No one had ever stood up to Lauren like that. Especially not a guy.
I have to say that that moment was the highlight of my day so far. Everyone in the back three rows, including me, burst out laughing.
Lauren didn't even glance at him through the whole class period, and when the bell rang, she was the first one out of her seat and out the door.
That's what she gets when she acts like a whore.
When we reached the cafeteria, I walked up to the line, not really noticing where I was going, and bumped into someone, and we each dropped our trays of food.
"I am so sorry! I should have been watching where I was going! Here, let me help you get this cleaned up!"
I looked up to see who I bumped into, but to find none other than Edward's sister.
She was even more beautiful up close. She had startlingly blue, piercing eyes. And she had on clothes that hinted at designer origins.
"O no, I'm sorry. I really wasn't paying much attention either." Her voice was sing-songish.
But at that esact moment, steroid boy came to her side and started helping us pick the food up.
While we were picking up the remains of our food, steroid boy spoketo me.
"Hey. Wait a second. You're in my second period class!" He boomed.
"Yea. By the way what you did to Lauren in there, yea that was the highlight of my day so far. It's about time someone told that bitch when to shut up..."
He burst into laughter and went on for about a full minute before the beautiful girl told him to hush up.
"I'm sorry. We did not properly introduce ourselves. My name is Rosalie Hale, and this is my big teddy bear of a boyfriend Emmett Cullen."
"Bella Swan. And, again, I'm so sorry for bumping into you."
"It's no problem at all." She smiled at me and it was a genuine smile. Not like one of those fake smiles that Jessica gave me.
"You know, you should really come by my house sometime! I think we could be great friends."
I was surprised that she ven really wanted to talk to me... Let alone want to be my friend!
"Have you not met any other people today? Because you seem like a girl who would have tons of friends."
"Well, to be honest, no other girls will talk to me. They just glare."
I knew what that felt like. To have no one want to talk to you, or no one ant to be your friend, and to have everyone glare at you.
"Well, Rosalie, you just need to ignore all the girls at this school. All they really do is cause drama."
I had almost forgotten Alice was standing there until she entered into our conversation. And right when he did, the surfer boy brother waltzed over to where the four of us were standing.
"Hi Rosalie! I'm Alice Swan! And you should toatlly come over to our house too! I could see us becoming best friends!" Alice was vibrating with excitement again.
"You'll have to forgive her. She has a little too much energy sometimes..."
With that note, she scowled playfully and stuck out her tongue at me.
"And who might you be?" She chirped, looking at the surfer boy.
"Well, my name is Jasper Hale. I'm Rosalie's twin brother." His voice had a southern edge to it. It was cute, and so was he.
"Well, I'm Alice! Nice to meet you." They both shook hands for a little longer than necessary until Emmett cleared his throat and they both blushed and pulled their hands away.
Alice already like him. I could tell by the way she looked at him.
Emmett was the first to break through the silence.
"Well, I guess we'll see you guys around. Bye Bella and Alice."
"Here, I'll give you my number and we can all hang out smetime!"
Alice squeeled at the thoughts of what we would all do.
"Yay! I can't wait to plan what we can do!"
"Alice, don't do anything too irrational like last time." I chuckled.
"Ugh. Bella, I know I went oberboard last time, but I told you it wouldn't happen again!"
While she was ranting, Rosalie and Emmett walked off, but Jasper stayed bhind with us with an amused glint in his eyes as he watched Alice.
"Well I'll see you later, Alice..." His voice sounded very breezy, and Alice was turning into mush right next to me.
"Yea, I'll talk to you later, Jasper."
With that, he walked off.
Alice spen the whole lunch period talking sbout Jasper. I was glad when the bell rang and I was on my way to Biology II.
It hadn't escaped my notice that I did not see Edward at lunch with his brothers and sister.
When I walked into my Biology II class, I froze. Because there, at my assigned seat, was Edward Cullen. At my table. By my seat. This meant that we would be lab partners for the duration of the year.
I was sure he sensed my presence, because he looked up.
When our eyes met, shocks of electricity went through the air. I wasn't sure if they were good or bad yet.
So, I put on a brave face, maintaining eye contact the whole time, and walked toward my lab table, determined to find out as to why he acted the way he did the previous week. But I would have to try to form some coherent thoughts in my head first.
I could already tell that this was going to be a long class.

My morning at Forks High was very uneventful.
By the end of fourth period, I decided I was going to skip lunch.
All day, girl had been trying to seduce me into sleeping with them in their cars later on this afternoon.
None of them were worth it. My eyes were for one girl only right now.
So, during lunch, I decided to go out to my car and listen to some CD's.
I had not seen the brown-eyed beauty since the parking lot stare-down this morning.
It has just about killed me.
As I walked to my last class of the day, Biology II, I hoped and prayed to God that she would be in this class.
When I reached the room, half the class was already there. This was not a good sign. The taecher sent me to a lab table towards the back of the room. He said that was the only available space.
As I waited, the class started to fill up. I started panicking because she wasn't here yet.
But a few minutes before class was to start, I suddenly felt some sort of electric current running through my veins. It was a good kind though.
As the current grew stronger, I felt a pair of eyes boring down into my head.
I looke dup and she was there, staring at me like a wide-eyed fawn.
She was utterly gorgeous, to say the least.
She looked shocked, but a little relieved at the same time. She started to walk down the aisle,
maintaining eye contact with me, until she finally reached our table. she sat here books down,
but at the last minute, they fell over the side of the table.
She flusked with embarrasment, as evertine laughed at ehr, and started to pick them up. There were papers strewn everyhwere.
I wanted to hit anyone who dare laughed at her.
"Let me help you with those." I offerred.
When I bent down, I noticed her shocked expression and gave her the most innocent expression I could muster.
Then, she scowled and said, "So, you're actually helping me instead of laughing?"
Her voice was like all of my favorite piano combinations put into one.
I merely chuckled.
"Look, I'm sorry about last week. I was just not in a good mood."
"Yea, I could tell."
"Well, I didn't properly introduce myself. Hi, I'm Edward Cullen." I held out my hand to her, and she stared at me as if I had grown five heads.
"Your supposed to shake it." I joked.
She finally obliged.
"Bella Swan, and I already knew who you were. I met your brothers and sister at lunch."
Damn. Now I regret not going.
"O, well then, Miss Swan, again, I am sorry for being so rude the other week. It was irrational of me to take my frustration out on you."
She dropped the mask she was wearing and gave me the most beautiful smile that made my breath stop short and my heart skip a beat.
"Well then, Mr. Cullen, you're forgiven."
"I'm glad to hear that."
I smiled and she seemed to zone out for a moment before she spoke again.
"Well I have a question, Edward."
"What is it?"
"Why didn't you at least help me up when I tripped at the store?"
I was full on laughing now. "Because, Bella, I told you I wasn't in a good mood!"
"Well you didn't have to laugh you know... That only made me feel worse."
That stopped my laughing. I had made her feel bad? Great.
"Again, I am genuineky sorry for laughing and not helping you up."
"Well, again, apology accepted."
Just then, the bell rang and we rose to take our seats.
After about half an hour, I decided to write her a note.
Hey, would you come to my house this weekend to explain this stuff to me? It's not making any sense...
I slid the paper over and waited anxiously for her reply.
Sure. Alice and I were planning something with Rosalie this weekend, but I have a hunch that Alice will be a little bust this weekend.
I had looked over and she was miling while she wrote that.
She was so damn cute.
Ok. Well, we can just talk about it later.
Alright.
I didn't need any help with the work. I understood it perfectly, but she didn't know that.
I was definitely goinf to have a talk with Rose about having Bella over.
Whew! well there's ch. 4! I hope you guys enjoyed! I'm yhinking about starting a playlist, so if any of you have any song suggestions, let me know!
Please review! :) 3
