Bella escalated the rock that hid what I now considered our place, looking back at me and catching me staring at her. She smiled and blew me a kiss, turning her back to me then, and leaving, disappearing in the night, her long brown hair waving in her back and her pale skin shining in the moonlight just as if it were the moon itself. I breathed in a huge breath, trying to break the hypnosis-like state I was in, caused solely by Bella's presence.

I sat back down, staring at the sea once again, reflecting about that night's events. My arms were still tingling from the emotion caused just by holding Bella in my arms. I just felt some sort of a pull towards her I couldn't describe. She was so mysterious; that song, and the… fear? no, panic, I had read in her eyes when I had invited her to taste the water with me… I couldn't figure her out. Well, I thought, I'll just have to wait for the right time, for that "some other time" as Bella put it. I sighed and started to put my shoes on; it was late indeed, and I had school tomorrow, as I'm sure she too had. Besides, I would probably be bombarded with questions from my family when I got home as it was. So I left, Bella's face in front of me, smiling enigmatically up at me, and her voice ringing in my ears like bells.

When I got home there was light in both mine and Bella's house's windows. I opened the door to see my family sitting in the living room. Emmett and Jasper were playing video games, Rosalie and Alice were painting each other's nails, Esme was sketching in a book and Carlisle was reading one of the many ancient books he owned. No surprises here; it was a normal picture, except that usually I would be sitting there with them too, reading or playing my piano, or even playing video games with my brothers.

"Hello", I said, taking my shoes off. They all looked up at me, smiling.

"Hello, honey. Where have you been?", Esme asked. I crossed the room and sat in the floor, my back against the love seat where the girls were.

"I went for a walk in La Push, I believe I was at First Beach.", I answered, shrugging.

"Oh, okay.", Esme replied, returning her attention to the sketch book.

"Edward, are you sure you're telling us everything? Haven't you been talking with our dear neighbor Bella?", Alice questioned, a mischievous smile on her face.

"What do you mean?", I asked, confused. How could she know I had met the most beautiful and amazing girl in the whole earth just moments ago?

"Well, I may have overheard a very ugly looking argument in her house. Her parents were scolding her for being out for so long, and she was screaming asking why they were so mad at her if they had never minded her late hikes before. Then they asked her what she had been doing, and she answered she just went for a walk and had been talking to Edward, one of their new neighbors. She then added than was also none of their business and went upstairs to her room, I suppose.", Alice told me.

"Okay, you caught me. I was talking to her on the beach.", I confessed. Everyone stopped what they were doing immediately to look at me. Even Emmett turned off the game.

"So, Eddie," Emmett started. "Finally scoring with the girls? I was starting to think you were gay."

"NO! I mean, yes… I mean… Jesus, Emmett! First, I'm not guy. I'm straight. Second, I like her a lot. She's beautiful, and talented, and mysterious. But that's not the point. I wasn't talking to her just because I wanted to "score". She was singing in the rocks, and I wanted to see who was making the music, and I found her. And we started to talk."

I told them everything, and they all agreed she seemed really interesting and acted strange sometimes. But, for me, it just contributed to make her as amazing as she was. I excused myself to go to bed.

When I entered my room, I quickly brushed my teeth, put on my pajama pants, and dived under the covers. As I rested my head in my pillow, I could only think of Bella. And was thinking of her that I fell asleep, smiling slightly, peacefully. That was the first night I dreamt about Bella Swan.

I was woken up from an excellent dream starring Bella Swan, the, literally, girl from my dreams, by an annoying bouncing in my bed. I opened my eyes to see Alice jumping incessantly on my bed, screaming "Wakey, wakey, Eddie! Time for school!".

"Ugh, Alice! Go away!"

"But, Edward! It's our first day of school, we can't be late! Come on! Come on!", she begged me.

"Okay, I'm up, I'm up.", I said, as I pulled the covers away from me and started to get up and head for my closet to get dressed. "I'll be down for breakfast in a flash.", I told Alice. She left and I quickly went through my morning routine before heading downstairs. My father had already left for work, and my mother, who usually was home in the mornings, had gone to meet a client. Me and my siblings ate breakfast and got out.

We all pinned in my Volvo. We always rode in it to school because it was the less flashy. We didn't want too much attention on us, especially when we were the new kids. We would have enough on us as it was.

As we were in the middle of the way, five figures appeared in the distance. As we got closer, I started to distinguish three bulky and tall figures, really tanned, and two smaller, thinner, ones, walking by the side of the road. As we got even closer, I suddenly realized who the smaller and paler one was. It was Bella, and with her were three huge guys and a girl. The jealousy started to make its appearance, though she had told me she didn't have a boyfriend. But I shrugged it off, or at least tried. Get a grip on yourself, Cullen. She isn't yours. As we were approaching I honked and she looked at the car, looking for the driver. As she spotted me, she threw me a brilliant smile, waving, which caused me to smile and wave too.

After we had passed them, Emmett started to chant, childish as always.

"Edward and Bella, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" I laughed though, and the others soon followed. But Rose made me a favor and smacked him across the head for me. You can always count on Rose to do that.

When we arrived at the school there were no cars in sight; it was still early after all. We got out of the car and headed to the main office, talking about random things, making sure our coats were tied up securely; it was really chilly, though it wasn't raining. When we entered the office, a warm wave caught us, for which we were thankful. A middle-aged woman, which was in need to lose some weight, with red hair, was sitting behind a desk, typing in her computer. We stepped forward and, when we were directly in front of her, she said mechanically:

"Hello, how can I help you?"

"We are the new kids. We would like to have out schedules, please." Alice said. Curiosity flashed across her eyes and she looked up at us. Then, something to be seen in a movie happened: her jaw fell while she was staring at us. Yeah, we were good-looking, we had to admit, but still…

"Look, stop drooling and give us our damn schedules, please.", Rosalie said through her teeth, looking pissed and grabbing Emmett's arms forcefully to show her he was hers.

"Oh, sorry. Here you go." She handed them to Alice, as well as a slip which was to be signed by all our teachers and returned in the end of the day and we turned our back to her, leaving the office. Once outside we gathered in a circle and Alice started to hand us our respective schedules. We compared them and thankfully (note the sarcasm) I had none of my classes with my siblings. Oh, joy!

"Well, shall we go? The bell's about to ring and we don't want to be late.", Alice said, winking at us, and leaving holding hands with Jasper. Rosalie and Emmett waved at me and left in the other way, with their arms around each other's waists. And I was left alone. I looked around me and saw the parking lot full of students and cars, all staring or at me or at my siblings. I sighed and started to heard to my class' building, which I had seen earlier, when…

"Edward! Wait up!" Am I delusional or the bell's are singing my name? I looked back and saw my Bella running to catch me. She was wearing black skinny jeans, black tennis shoes and a dark blue shirt. I loved that shade of blue on her.

"Hello, Bella. How are you?", I smiled at her and she returned it.

"Good. Look, I have to hurry, the bell's going to ring, but… I just wanted to ask you if you wanted to sit with me and my friends at lunch? You know, the ones from before when we were walking to school? Our table is sluts and jocks free, and your siblings are welcome too."

"It would be my pleasure, Bella. Expect us at lunch then.", I winked at her and she laughed. God, how I love to hear her laugh….

"Okay, then. I have to run. See you at lunch, Edward." She waved and ran in the opposite way.

The bell for lunch finally rang and I was leaving Spanish. I really hopped Bella's table really was sluts free; I was tired of girls with practically no clothes on throwing themselves at me, especially when I already had someone in my mind. I met my siblings on my way to the cafeteria, who were suffering of the same dilemma. Even them, who were obviously taken, couldn't stop the rest of the student body of hitting on them.

"Oh, I have something to tell you guys. Bella invited us to sit with her at her table. She also added it was sluts and jock's free. I accepted, I hope you don't mind.", I told them.

"No problem, Edward.", Jasper said.

"Yeah, I would even sit with the nerds if that meant to be away from the sluts." Emmett said.

"And Rose and I can't wait to meet Bella, and you are dying to be with her, so everyone's good with that plan." Alice added.

We went into the line, chose our food, paid our lunch and started to look for Bella in the crowded cafeteria. We spotted her in the furthest corner with the three guys and the girl from before, and headed that way. On our way, we heard shouts of "Edward, sit here!", or "Emmett, over here!", and even "Rosalie or Alice, forget lunch and come with me to the janitor's closet!". As we were reaching the table, we heard one of the guys saying:

"…have to be careful, Bella, you just got out of the anti-depressants."

Anti-depressants? What did that mean? She started to answer then

"I know, I can handle it, I'll just not think about that and…"

"Hello, Bella!", Alice said, bouncing up and down.

Bella looked up at Alice, confusing written across her face, until she saw me among my siblings. She smiled at me again and motioned for us to sit down. We did so, and I ended up in one side of her, with Alice in her other side and Rosalie on my other side.

"Hello, Bella. These are my siblings, Emmett and Rosalie, and Jasper and Alice." I pointed them out and she smiled at them, which they returned.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all. Meet my friends; these are Embry, Quil, Jacob and his girlfriend Renesmee. They are Quileute's, from La Push, the Reservation."

We all exchanged greetings, and the conversation flowed easily among us then. Alice and Rosalie were planning a shopping trip, dragging Bella along with them, and she seemed terrified about that. We told her she was welcome to our house and invited her and her friends over for dinner. She agreed to go after something she had to do with her friends, but they refused, because they already had plans with their girlfriends.

However, in the back of my mind, two words were flashing:

Anti-depressants?

Liked it, loved it, hated it? How was it? Please, tell me. I almost don't get reviews and they are just so cool to receive. Please…

Also, warn me if there are any mistakes, if you don't mind.
