~Forks High School~

Edward's POV

The next few days were uneventful. I went hunting, played piano, spent time with the family, and listened to music. This morning we all were going to go to Forks High School to register for classes. I particularly didn't want to go through high school for the 20th+ time but if you're supposed to be 16 years old you have to be enrolled in school.

"Edward! Come on! We have to go!" Alice yelled.

"Fine. I'll be done in a few minutes."

"Please? You have to go. I know you'll be happy if you went."

I ran down the stairs as fast as I could to the living room. "Is everybody ready?" Carlisle asked.

"Yes," we all replied. Emmett seemed too happy to be going to school. "God! Rosalie has been a vixen today!" and he started to visualize what they did earlier so I blocked that out a much as possible.

We ran to our cars, I drove my Volvo by myself, while Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper and Alice rode in Emmett's Jeep, and Carlisle and Esme took his Mercedes.

When we got to the school we went inside and did all of the necessary paperwork. While everybody else left with a "Good luck!" from Alice I went to talk to my teachers about what all curriculum we were going to go over in classes this year so I could be better prepared.

And that's when I smelled the now familiar smell; of freesias and strawberries – Bella Swan. The most beautiful girl I had ever seen in my entire existence. But I couldn't go up to her. You're a monster. Why would you force this poor girl into a life in which you already know that nobody should be condemned to.

I began to walk away but froze when I heard her yell my name.

Bella's POV

After a wonderful night of dreams about Edward I got dressed and headed to the school with Charlie. I wondered what classes I would be taking and overall what school would be like. I hadn't been to public school since I was in third grade so I didn't know what I should expect.

When the school came into view I couldn't help but to be excited. It was a decent sized brick building and looked like an overall good school. Charlie finally stopped his car and I jumped out excited to find out what I would be learning. But I saw some very expensive looking cars and immediately felt intimidated. I knew that I could never compete with that no matter how hard I tried.

We walked into the school and Charlie walked us into the office to fill out the paperwork. I got to meet the principal and he seemed very excited that somebody with my potential was going to Forks. He stated that the only other people there that were as smart as me were the Cullen family and I smiled at that. The principal told me that I could explore the school and told me that I would be in advanced or A.P. classes.

I left the office and started to adventure the hallways to peek in the doors of various rooms. There weren't a lot of rooms but some of their doors connected outside and others into a hallway. And then I saw the person I have wanted to see for days now – Edward Cullen.

As soon as he saw me he turned to walk away. "Edward! Wait up!" He froze as I ran up to him.

He glared at me. "What do you want from me?"

"I don't know, Edward. I just wanted to thank you for what you did at the hospital. I really appreciate it."

"You're welcome. Why were you screaming so much?"

"I was just scared. Um, I just had a flashback and I got scared. I haven't had good luck with doctors."

"Oh. What are you doing here?"

"I'm registering for school here this fall. I'm going to finish school here because home school isn't doing that great for me."

"Oh. My family and I were doing the same thing." He's going to school here? Yay!

"So you're going to school here this fall?" I could barely contain my excitement.

"Yeah."

I knew I had to ask this or else I wouldn't be able to live with myself.

"Edward would you…" He cut me off.

"I can't stay away from you any longer. Would you like to go out with me, Bella?" To say I was shocked was an understatement.

"Uh, y-yeah sure. When is good for you?"

"Here's my number. Call me if you need anything or when you wanna go out. Call anytime day or night."

"Okay, I will." And before I had a chance to say anything else he was gone and I was left holding a piece of paper that contained my destiny.

"Hey Bells! Are you ready to go home?"

"Yeah. I'll be there in a minute!"

I turned around and followed my dad to his car and we went home.

When we got there, there was a worn out red truck in the driveway and my dad was all smiles.

"It's a welcome home present. I hope you like it Bells."

I jumped out quickly and ran over to my truck as fast as possible. "Can I take it for a drive?"

"Yeah, go ahead. I'll be in the house. Have fun."

"I will. Thanks Charlie!"

"You're welcome, honey."

I drove my truck all around Forks and filled it up with gas. When I got home I fixed dinner and decided I'd call Edward. It only rang twice.

"Hello?" his melodic voice said.

"Hi, Edward, it's Bella."

"Hey. Do you want me to come over and get you? Is now a good time?"

"Yeah. Do you need directions?"

"No. I know Forks pretty well. See you soon Bella."

"I'll see you. Drive careful."

"I will. Bye."

"Bye."

What did I just do? Oh my God! I'm going out with Edward Cullen! I was mentally jumping up and down and I had a huge smile on my face. For once in my life I was worried about what I was going to wear.
