Hey guys I finally got a review for this story so I want to say thank you to that person :) as I know at least one person is reading! I decided to give a bit of background before I launched straight into Edward and Bella's meeting.

Chapter 4: Forks high

(Alice's POV)

The day spent with Bella was definitely productive, I had seen a change coming to Forks and when I heard of her arrival I wanted to confirm my suspicions, she was definitely the one. I wasn't sure how to tell Edward but I knew I had to keep my thoughts clouded so he would not be able to read them, if I was right the their meeting at school tomorrow was going to be less than perfect but I knew Bella was going to become a huge part of my future. I'm glad I ate before I met her though, being in the enclosed car with her really was something.

I mentally prepared myself for Edward's intrusiveness as I stepped out of my vehicle thinking only of Jasper and I, I knew he would get straight out of my head then.

"Hey Alice how was your day?" Esme asked as I entered the kitchen. We didn't eat human food but she still insisted hanging out in there.

"Yeah it was good, Bella seems nice and I just know we are going to be really good friends." I replied still keeping an image of Jasper in my mind that Edward definitely wouldn't want to see.

"Good Alice and you had no problems being alone in a car with her?" She asked like she had expected there to be a problem. Obviously no one knew the real reason I had jumped at the chance to meet Bella, and no one would. Not yet anyway.

"I was fine Esme there was no blood spilled, besides I'm around people all the time at school." I replied as kindly as I could, it wasn't in my nature to be crabby.

"Alright dear, you can go to Jasper now he is in your room." She said knowing all too well that I would want to see him.

I smiled at my mother and sped off to my bedroom to greet Jasper, I loved being able to use my vampire speed around the house, although sometimes it caused more trouble that it was worth, I had broken many vases dashing up the stairs. I never knocking into them, just created such a breeze that they fell off shelves.

"Alice." I head Edward's voice chime from behind me. Think of Jasper, think of anything.. I said to myself as I tried hard to elude his powers and by the look on his face it was working.

"Oh God Alice I did not need to see that, please if you are trying to hide your thoughts can you use a more appropriate image." He said causing me to chuckle to myself.

"Stop reading my mind then you won't have to see it, I haven't seen my Jasper all day." I replied.

"Hmmm. How was your meeting with the girl and why are you so interested in her?" Edward asked and I knew that he was suspicious by the look in his eyes.

"You'll see Edward, I do suggest you hunt before school tomorrow." I replied and then headed into my room closing the door firmly behind me. I heard Edward mutter profanities under his breath and then head out into the night. Tomorrow at school was definitely going to be interesting.

I felt sick, hot, sweaty and a little shaky. I was nervous and positively sure that this was going to be one of the most ridiculous days of my entire life. I hated school in Phoenix, I swear the day my mother announced that she had arranged for me to finish my education at home I almost had a heart attack from sheer joy. Now that was over and I was stuck waiting for Alice in the rainy town of Forks, and today it was pelting it down. The wind was cold and merciless as it blew huge droplets of rain into my face. I clung to my jacket as I walked over to Alice's car and clambered inside the passenger seat relishing in the warmth that the vehicle offered.

"Morning Bella." She said happily, so cheery for a Monday morning.

"Yeah morning Alice." I grumbled sounding less than enthusiastic about today.

"Oh don't worry it's going to be great everyone at the school is going to love you I just know it and I can't wait for you to meet my siblings." She chirped.

I smiled at her nervously and buckled my seat belt as we drove toward the high school arriving in the parking lot in no time at all. We parked next to a rather fancy looking silver Volvo. I only assumed it must be one of the Cullen's cars, they seemed to have a passion for nice things.

"Most people have gone inside, I'll walk you to the office and then I'll see you later Bella." She said and I was getting increasingly nervous, soon I was going to be alone in a new school fending for myself. This was not going to go well.

Alice led me to the office and waved goodbye leaving me staring at a strange woman nervously. I cleared my throat to get her attention and she looked up at me with a beaming smile, it was actually quite terrifying.

"Hello dear you must be chief Swan's daughter, you looking forward to your first day here?" She asked politely.

I nodded and waited until she handed me a piece of paper with my assigned classes on it before turning to leave.

"Isabella you need to get your teachers to sign the sheet after every lesson then bring it back here at the end of the day." She called.

"Okay." I said and left the room to find my first class of the day. The school wasn't big compared to the one in Phoenix so I would probably be able to find my way around in no time at all but navigating around the halls without tripping over was another issue entirely.

I was just about to give up searching for my locker when a dark haired boy appeared in front of me chattering away. "Hey I'm Eric and you must be the chief's daughter, Isabella right?" He asked sticking his hand out for me to shake.

"It's Bella." I muttered as I politely shook his hand, it felt strange.

"So Bella where ya headed?" He asked as I stared at the map I had been given by the office lady trying to decipher the strange lines.

"I'm trying to find my locker and then I have English." I replied, hell maybe he could help me.

"Oh let's see the paper." He said and practically snatched it from my hands before I had a chance to agree to anything.

He studied it for only a few seconds before handing it back to me and walking straight ahead.

"You're in luck the locker you are looking for is right..... here." He said stopping in front of a set of lockers only a few feet away from where we had just been standing, looks like my map reading skills weren't as bad as I first thought.

"Thanks Eric." I said as I twisted the dial to the relevant numbers to open my new locker.

"That's cool, you're English room is just there but now I have to go, don't want to be late for my first class." He said and dashed off down the hallway waving quickly as he left.

It turned out that Alice was in my first class and a girl named Jessica who I had the pleasure of sitting next to. She talked a lot which I didn't really mind at the moment, later on in the year however, when I would actually need to listen to the teacher I may not be so keen on her constant chatter.

"So Bella you'll eat with us at lunch." She said, more of a statement than a question and so my fate had already being decided.

"Erm.. okay I suppose." I replied as the bell for the end of class rang.

"Cool, oh wait didn't I see you arrive with Alice Cullen this morning?" She stated again, why she asked questions she had already decided she knew the answer to I wasn't sure.

"Erm yeah I did, why?" I asked, I was curious as to why it was any business of hers.

"Oh it's just the Cullen's don't really socialize outside of their family group, you'll see what I mean at lunch, come on." Jessica said pulling me in what I assumed to be the direction of the cafeteria, god I wished someone would save me right now but of course no such luck came my way.

I followed Jessica to a table and sat down next to her then we were joined by a few more people. I tried to look away from them, I could feel my cheeks turning red as I saw everyone staring at the new girl and I didn't like it one bit.

"Everyone this is Bella, she is the chief's daughter. We met in English class today." She said, introducing me to all of the others on the table. Eric I had already met but there were two other girls and a boy that I hadn't seen yet.

The dark haired girl looked at me sympathetically and then introduced herself as Angela, the boy way Tyler and the blond girl reluctantly told me her name was Lauren and I had a sneaking suspicion she already disliked me. I was lost in thoughts when I saw Alice enter the lunchroom and it reminded me of Jessica's earlier statement about sticking with the family, she had seemed nice enough to me.

Alice walked hand in hand with a very tall blond guy who I assumed to be Jasper, they were followed by a beautiful blond girl and a burly, dark haired boy walking with their arms around each other's waists. That must be Emmett and.... Rosalie, Alice had mentioned they were a couple and that just left.

I stopped thinking all at once when I saw they boy that followed them into the hall, the last of the Cullen's and the most beautiful creature I had ever seen in my life. His hair was messy and yet it looked completely amazing, its strange bronze texture adding to the allure. His body was a perfect sculpture, pale white and angled in all the right places and his eyes were glowing. They were same colour as Alice's yet there was something so appealing about them. Edward Cullen was quite possibly the most enchanting person I had ever laid eyes on and I could feel myself starting to blush, even from a distance.

I looked down to the floor when I realised he had noticed me staring, I think everyone had because Jessica started to snigger and I saw Alice smile at me from the table, oh god he was going to think I was a moron.

"Bella don't even bother with Edward, he doesn't seem to like any of the girls in this school." She said bitterly which I assumed meant that she had been rejected by the god himself.

"I wasn't planning on it." I replied but I knew in the back of my mind that I had been planning on it, not that I would ever have done anything.

Lunch passed in a blur, I glanced at Edward a few more times but he didn't catch me again then just before lunch was over Alice came over to the table and started talking to me. Jessica and Lauren didn't look impressed by her presence though.

"Hey Bella I'm still giving you a ride home tonight so I'll meet you in the parking lot after class. I think you're going to like biology." She chirped and then glided back to Jasper as graceful as ever. God what I wouldn't give to be able to move like her, instead I was a complete and utter klutz. Once that thought left my mind I started to wonder about biology, why would I like biology, what was so special about that seemingly ordinary subject I wonder?

The school bell rang loudly waking me from my thoughts and a sighed. I guess it was time for me to find out as biology seemed to be next on my list, I decided to ask Jessica if she knew the way to the lab so that I wouldn't be late trying to find the classroom.

"Erm Jess do you know where my biology lab is?" I mumbled as I handed her my timetable so she could see the room.

"Yeah it's in building 5, I think Mike is in that class, I'll get him to walk there with you." She replied happily leaving me to wonder who Mike was and how she knew what class he was in.

A cute, blond boy appeared next to me a few seconds after Jessica called his name and walked me to class. He seemed nice enough, chatting about anything he could think starting with the weather. It was amazing how many people had asked me about the weather and I was tired of answering the question. Of course I didn't enjoy the rain, I was from Phoenix and I was used to the sun, the bright gleaming, warm sun. Not the cold, wet, cloudy, rainy days of Forks.

Mike left me at the front of the class and Mr. Banner, the teacher gave me a text book and then pointed me in the direction of the only spare seat in the room. I looked toward the desk and my breath caught in my throat, the person sitting there was the one and only Edward Cullen and I was going to die. So this is what Alice had meant, I was going to kill her for not warning me, she was going to die. I repeated this over and over again in my mind until I reached the desk and sat down.

Edward instantly moved away from me, I could see him gripping the table harshly and he had a look of sheer determination on his face.

"Hi, I'm Bella I met your sister yesterday." I said quietly hoping to reduce the tension.

"Hi." He replied, well choked back. His voice was beautiful and yet he sounded like he was trying not to breathe. Did I really smell that bad?

I could tell that this was going to be one of the longest periods of my life, I really couldn't wait to get the hell out of this classroom and go home. I was also going to ask Alice about Edward and what the hell is problem was, the way he was looking at me was sending shivers down my spine and all I did was say hi....
