Bella POV

I bathed in my last moments of freedom. Today was going to be the longest day yet. I could feel the excitement and anticipation of the parking lot before I even got out of my car. Reluctantly I left the protection of my truck behind me and headed for class. Normally, I would wait for Mike but there was no way I was going to be able to deal with his chatter about the Cullens. I knew that Jessica wouldn't be any better; the only difference is there is no way to avoid Jessica when we are in English. I turned to see my group of friends along with the majority of school waiting outside the school to try to catch a glimpse at the mystery family. I shook my head at their strange behavior and headed for first period.

Edward POV

Just as I expected. Today was going to be a train wreck. I knew this was a small town but I was unaware that the people were such small town people. They obviously didn't get out much if a couple of new students were such a big event. I parked it the first available stop and put my car in park. I turn to look at my family. Turns out that most of them were thinking the same thing as me. The only one who seemed excited about the crowd was Alice. She was blocking the reason for her excited. Frustrations took over and caused me to release a small growl. Alice only laughed, stuck out her tongue, and hoped out of the car.

It took my family to build up the excitement to pile out of my Volvo. I stared at Alice who was practically bouncing with joy. What a strange creature.

"What it's exciting!" Alice paused, and then teased "You only have one first day of school." I watched as she scanned the group of students. She searched to body of kids for some one. After checking the crowd several times she grumbled "Where is she."

Whatever she couldn't find was obviously bringing down the level of her excitement. I would have helped her but once again Alice had her thoughts very guarded, so I had no clue what she was looking for.

Finally giving up, Alice turned to look at us, "I guess we should go to the office and get our schedules."

Alice led us to the office. I was glad to see that I had gym with Alice. Gym would have been miserable to take alone. I departed from the rest of my family and headed to my first class in building 5.

Bella POV

Jessica couldn't stop bugging me amount the Cullens. Most of her stories were amount their beauty. How unfair it was that this one family could be so perfect.

Jessica started with the blonde male whose name I believe is Jasper. Then she went to tell stories amount a gigantic male and a pixie-like female. She ended her story with a girl who she swears just walked off of a Victoria Secret runway and a male who she couldn't stop talking about. She insisted that even though the male wasn't the strongest or the tallest of the three men, he was by far the best looking.

Now I can't lie, by the time lunch rolled around I was quite interested in this family. Though my excitement couldn't match Jessica's. I nearly had to run to keep up with her. When we entered the cafeteria, Jess's face dropped. Her expression told me they weren't here yet. Strangely, I felt a little upset too. I don't know why I should feel that way. It's not like I know them, or have even seen them before. It gives me no right to get so upset.

Baffled by my own emotions, I went to the lunch line to by something to eat. I could see out of the corner of my eye Jessica drag her feet behind me.

"I wonder why they aren't here yet." Jessica sighed.

I turned to look at her "It's probably because it's their first day and don't know where the lunch room is. There is a very good chance that they are just trying to find their way around the school." I was surprised by my own logic.

"Your right." I could hear the sadness in her voice. After pausing for a moment, her face lit up a tad and I could tell she was forming a plan, "well, maybe I should go looking for them. You know, offer my help. Be their private tour guide. I could be their first friend here, and then that Edward kid will realize how great I am and we'd end up dating and then…"

"That's probably not necessary."

Jessica was offended that I had cut her off and was even more offended that she thought I didn't think that her plan would work. But the thing that made her the angriest is the fact that I wasn't even looking at her any more. I was staring at a group of student walking towards the building. I knew for a fact that I have never seen these students before, which meant they were they Cullens.

The first to enter was a small girl. She had black spiky hair and her movements resembled more of a dance than walking. For the gossip I heard, I assumed this was Alice. She was holding the hand of a blonde kid. He looked awfully pained and extremely dangerous. I guessed this was Jasper. A big, muscled guy followed the pair. He could easily take out a pro-wrestler. A gorgeous blonde was tied to his hip. Emmet and Rosalie. This left only one more person, Edward. Jessica was right he was stunning. He had a timeless look.

The five of them had all sat down at the same table. I was surprise when they all sat down and stared of into different directions. None of them talked to each other. The only one moving was Alice. It appeared that she was looking for something, or examining the building.

"HOT, huh?" Jessica's voice had caught me by surprised. I hadn't realized how intense my stare was. The fact that she had scared me made her giggle. I had no choice but end up laughing with her.

The lunch line moved fast. Jessica and I didn't really talk about anything during the wait, which is strange. Nothing can usually shut Jessica up. We walked back to our table in silence. I caught Jessica gawking at the new group but I had promised myself not to look at them again. As we approached, Mike stood up and pulled out my chair. What a sweet move. I put my lunch tray down and I turned to thank him. I was caught off guard how close her was to me. Then I realized what he was trying to do, so I closed the gap between us.

"So, did you guys meet the new kids?" Ben was the first to break the silence.

"Not personally, yet. But I'm bound to have a class with at least one of them." Mike said. "Maybe one of us should go over there and introduce ourselves."

Lauren laughed. "You can't just go and walk up to people like them! They are so not little town people. They obviously don't want to be bothered by you."

I still don't understand why we hang out with Lauren. She is probably the most unfriendly person in the whole state of Washington.

Mike rolled his eyes. "Whatever Lauren, I'm still going to go say hi." He was about to get up when he realized they had vanished from the table. "Wait, where did they go?"

"Probably heard you were planning to say hi and wanted to escape while they had the chance." Lauren snickered.

"Shut up, Lauren." I wasn't expecting Jessica to enter the conversation but I her eye candy was gone and she hates to be out spoken. So I guess I should have seen that coming.

We spent the rest of the time listening to Lauren and Jessica bicker. No one wanted to step in the middle and stop them.

After what felt like forever, it was time for me to head to biology. My favorite class of the day.

Alice POV

Edward was waiting for me outside the girls' locker room.

"Nice Bad-mitten Bro."

Edward laughed without humor. "Please, if I could take anything out of school, it would be gym. It's no fun when you have to move that slow."

I directed Edward back to our car. We always met the rest of the family there before heading to lunch. It may be a new school but our habits never change. We were the first to reach the car. Well waiting for the other I had time to think about next period. It would be my first sighting of… This was going to be difficult. I would have to be extra careful with Edward here.

"You mood seemed to change. You look happy and excited. Perhaps it's because you get to see, sorry I didn't catch a name. Who are you seeing?" Edward had an evil grin on his face. He knew he was winning this battle.

"Nice try." I responded. Stupid Edward. Must he always be in everyone's business?

By this time the rest of the coven had gathered and we headed toward the cafeteria.

Naturally, I led the way with Jasper by my side. Like the gentleman he was he opened the door for me. I quickly found a table that was barely used and I figured it would be the perfect place for the anti-social Cullens to sit. Emmet and Rose reached the table shortly after us, and as always Edward held up the rear.

Normally, at lunch, we sit unnaturally still. Everyone had taken their positions and stayed there. I on the other hand was to anxious to sit still. I could tell by the way that Jasper had silently changed his position that he was worried about my emotion. I slightly squeezed his hand to tell him to relax.

I scanned the room for the girl. I jumped from table to table with no success. Maybe I was wrong? Or maybe she is home-schooled? Neither of those seemed likely but they were possibilities. I checked the room one more time, and this time I found her. She walked with a tray full of nasty human food with a girl next to her. This brown hair human who accompanied Bella seemed to have quite an interest in us; well Bella couldn't even bother to look in our direction.

The two of them reached a crowded table and sat on opposite sides of it. Bella choice to sit next to a bland boy. To my surprise he stood up and pulled out her chair. Than very un-smoothly leaned down and kissed her.

BELLA HAS A BOYFRIEND! I most defiantly didn't see that one coming. One more thing to add to my list of complications. To make things worse, he was cocky. When Bella wasn't paying attention, he looked over at my family. He stared at the boys and you could tell by the look on his face that he thought that he was better than them.

That was it. Anger followed through my dormant veins. I quickly was on my feet. "Oh, im gonna kill that son of a…" I didn't even bother to finish my sentence. He wasn't worth my breath. I stormed out of the cafeteria receiving questioned looks from my family. I knew they would follow me though, plus lunch was almost over. I would destroy that kid, even if it was the last thing I did. I would make sure that Bella would end up with Edward.


I was afraid that if i kept it as one chapter it would be really long. Also, I'm not finished writing the rest, so I figured you could read this as I finish the rest of the chapter
