"Hi Alice. I'm Bella." Bella smiled at the girl which was returned enthusiastically.

"Hello, Bella. It's nice to meet another of our kind. I haven't seen another one out of my family in about twenty years! You wont believe how boring that gets." Alice sat down in the empty seat next to Bella's.

" You came with more…people?" Bella asked, hoping that the girl was smart and understood what she meant by 'people'.

" Yeah. There is Jasper, my wonderful boyfriend-"Alice paused and smiled. It was contagious because Bella began to smile too. " Then there is Emmett, Rosalie, our parents: Carlisle and Esme and my brother Edward."

" Wow. That's a lot of people for one coven." Bella commented.

"Yes. I know. You never get bored though. Are you by yourself or do you have a family too?" Alice asked.

" Let's see. There's Tristan and Elizabeth and Jason and Aaron and Aiden and Vincent and then there is Kristen and me. So that's," she paused, counting it up on her slender fingers. " That's eight of a kind!"

The bell rang, stopping Alice from saying anything else. Bella doodled aimlessly on her notebook, paying no attention to the class at all. "Miss Brookes, what is the answer to number 9?" the teacher asked, annoyed that no one was paying attention.

Bella looked up at the equation and answered immediately, "5."

Mr.Chingles looked startled and replied, "Y-yes. Very good" and continued with the lesson, not daring to pick on Bella again.

When the bell rang, Alice waited for Bella to pack all her things and they walked through the halls together.

"What's your next class?" Alice asked.

"History. Hooray." She replied unenthusiastically.

"I could do without that subject too." Alice smiled sympathetically at her new friend.

" I really think that it is a total waste of our time and that-" she arrived at her locker when Tristan cut her off.

"Hey Bella. I went to class like you told me to." Tristan pecked her cheek and she smiled.

Bella and Tristan are an on and off sort of thing. When Tristan came to them, the first person he had noticed was Bella. She is extremely beautiful, even for a vampire. And at first, she caught his eye with her beauty but then he got to know her and loved her personality as well.

" Good for you Tristan!" Bella smiled at him. " This is my new friend Alice. Alice, this is a part of my family, Tristan."

Alice smiled and extended her hand. "Nice to meet you."

" Same. Any friend of Bella's is a friend of mine." Tristan shook her hand.

Alice smiled. "I'll see you at lunch, Bella!"

"Bye." Bella replied, waving then turned to Tristan. "Isn't she nice Tristan?"

"Yeah and I bet her brothers will be too." He did a good job of hiding his bitterness but a bit of it leaked out.

A moment of silence.

"Am I supposed to infer something from that?" Bella asked while rearranging the things in her locker.

"I bet they're gonna wanna meet you, Bella," Tristan explained "and I bet that when they do meet you, then they'll wanna stay and then-"

"Awwwww. Are you jealous Tristan?" Bella smiled.

"Hmm…let me think about that. YES!" Tristan answered, loudly, making some sophomore girls giggle. He sent a crooked smile their direction and they blushed and looked away.

"Why would you be jealous when there is a 'We Love Tristan Brookes Fan Club' right over there?" Bella pointed at said group of girls who then glared furiously at her. Bella smiled tentatively at them but they continued to glare furiously. That made her lose her will to become friends with the other girls and she stuck her tongue out at them.

"Are you the president of this fan club?"

Bella laughed at this, grabbing the attention of the hormone charged boys in the corner. Tristan pulled her to him by the waist and growled slightly at the boys who then got scared and tripped over each other, trying to run away. Tristan smiled satisfactorily. Bella slipped away from him and told him that she would see him later. He gave her a little kiss and she smiled and walked to her history class. When she walked into class, she was met with a pair of topaz eyes.

(A/N: I know that you guys have been wondering about Bella and Tristan so there it was! Hooray! Now you guys know. I think they make a very cute couple. Dontcha think?)
