Chapter 4

BPOV

I stormed out of the gym grabbing my bag on the way. How could they not want me? I'm incredible and popular. I'm prettier than all of them by far! I'm a national champion tumbler and cheerleader!!!!!! HOW COULD THEY NOT WANT ME?

I hurried out and ran off until I realised that I actually had no clue where I was going. I stopped in the middle of the path and waited for someone to come past. If I tried to find someone I would only get more lost. No one came for ages and I got more and more annoyed with each minute. Someone should know that I need help! I slumped down against the wall and swore.

"Hey, Bella! Are you okay?" I looked up into the face of a dorky Chinese guy.

"Um how do you know my name?" He was staring down at me from behind a pair of dorky glasses. Ew. Why did it have to be him that knows my name?

"Uh everyone knows right? You're Charlie's girl!" Charlie's girl??? He did not realise how big of a mistake he just made! No one who wants to get to know me (which is obviously everyone) says that.

"Whatever! What do you want?" What happened to knight in shining armour? Instead I get dork with shiny skin…yay!

"Um well you looked kinda upset down there. Are you lost or something?" Ugh why does he have to be the one I need to ask for help? Why? I jumped to my feet.

"I'm not lost. I just…um…well…where's the canteen?" Ugh ugh ugh! Why did I have to get lost? It's so embarrassing! Everyone will be laughing when they find out. It could ruin me!

"So…you are lost then?" He seemed confused.

"Fine. Yes. Just tell me where the canteen is!!!!" I was yelling in his face now. Why couldn't he just tell me? Did he want to kill me?

"Um yeah sure. You just go round this building here and go left. It's the big grey building. Are you okay?" He was practically shaking. Well, lesser people need to earn some respect for popular, immense people like me! What can I say?

"Fine. Just fine!" I stalked off in the direction he pointed as he stood there gaping after me. What a useless dork!

I was about to step through the doors into the canteen when someone yelled my name.

"Bella, hey, Bella!" I wheeled round to see Jessica running down the corridor also still in her cheerleading outfit. Figuring she was going to have a go at me I turned back round.

"What do you want?" Here we go...

"That was soooooo cool!" Wait what? She's not yelling at me? Saying I'm the biggest bitch she's ever met?

"What was cool?" Was she talking about something else? I didn't get how she could even be talking to me!

"What you did with Lottie!" Lottie...I better check...

"Lottie junior varsity?"

"Yeah it was awesome! I would so have done the same! Who wants her tagging after you? Not cool!" What is wrong with this place? Everyone is so weird!

"Um thanks. So, do you want to get lunch?" I thought I was going to have to sit alone due to my new fan club all suddenly hating me!

We walked into the canteen and every male head in the room swivelled round to look. I have to say my cheerleading outfit is pretty short and shows off my gorgeous legs. It also doesn't quite cover all of my flat stomach...

We went and bought our lunch (nice healthy salad, I can't lose my gorgeous hot figure) and sat down at a table with all the other varsity cheerleaders. All of them except the one who yelled at me that is.

"Hi," it's one of the cheerleaders with blonde hair. She's not too bad, not hideously disfigured. Her mouths a bit too square though. And her nose flares out quite a bit. And her ears are huge. But still, she's not too hideous.

"I'm Xanthe. We just wanted to say that we'd all love to have you on the squad. Ignore Martha. She gets a bit cranky around this time of the month if you know what I mean..." Everyone around me giggled. So immature.

"Xanthe? As in Zan-thee? That's cool! Is it foreign?" I love people with cool names.

"Yeah it's Greek!" Nice...

"So are you Greek then?" That would be cool! Maybe she could teach me. Apparently guys love foreigners...especially Mediterranean foreigners. Wait Greece is in the Mediterranean, right?

"No I'm actually 100% American. I was born in Texas though. That's kind of exotic!" Yeah sure. Exotic for some people! Just plain dusty for others.

"Oh that's, er, cool! So, are any of the rest of you foreign?" That girl there looks kinda Chinese...They all started babbling away about how they were half this and a quarter that but I didn't really hear them. My eyes were drawn across to a group of people entering the canteen. They were by a long way the most beautiful people in the room. Apart from me, obviously. They moved so gracefully it was like they were floating. They had gorgeous porcelain pale white skin. Personally I was offended. How dare they try to upstage me like this? Obviously they couldn't compare to me but still. To even try is a sin.

They came in in twos. First there was a huge, muscled guy with short, brown curly hair. Normally I would never call a guy of his stature beautiful but the word just suited him like it suited the others. Holding onto his hand was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen except the one I see in the mirror. She had long, silky blonde hair down to her narrow waist. She had a perfect figure and gorgeous features. Every other girl in the room was probably sick with jealousy.

Next came a tiny, thin girl with spiky black hair. She was leading a tall, blonde guy who, while he was still breathtakingly beautiful looked like he was in pain somehow. The little girl stopped in the middle of the canteen and twirled under his arm like she was dancing. Random.

Finally there was the most beautiful guy I'd ever set my eyes on. I think my heart actually stopped beating when he walked in. He was tall with gorgeous tousled bronze hair and the hottest face I've ever seen. I looked around dreading seeing his partner. While I knew she could never be as pretty as me, she still had him, the hottest guy in the universe. He should be mine.

Surprisingly no girl came after him and they all went to sit at a table on their own. My spirits lifted a little. Maybe he could be my new target. I turned to Jessica.

"Who are they?" I tried to ask it nonchalantly but I wasn't sure that it worked. She didn't seem to notice though. She was watching them too.

"That's Edward, Alice and Emmet Cullen and Rosalie and Jasper Hale. They're Carlisle and Esme Cullen's foster kids. Weirdo's" she muttered the last part darkly.

"Why are they weird? They seem kinda alright to me." Why were the second best looking people in the canteen sitting by themselves?

"Well they're good enough looking if that's what you're referring to. It's not that. The thing is...they're all together. As in together together. I don't think it's even legal! I mean they live together!" She sounded kind of disgusted.

"That's not so bad. I went out with my cousin once. He was hot!" It's true he was soooooo fit!

"Um, you went out with your COUSIN??" Jessica and Xanthe were staring at me like I was insane.

"Oh it's ok. He wasn't like my real cousin. He was my first cousin. You know you have your cousins then your first cousins (for all you Mean Girls fans out there!)..." I trailed off at the looks they were giving me. "What?"

"Nothing, Bell, nothing." Jessica was sighing. "But still they're like brothers and sisters. That is way weird!"

"Yeah but they're not actually related. I wish I could be fostered by Dr Cullen. He's like a matchmaker. Maybe he'd put me with Edward." Xanthe was sighing to herself.

"Is he the, er, one on his own?" I tried not to show any meaning behind my words but it didn't work. Jessica saw right through me.

"Don't waste your time hun. Apparently no one round here is good enough for him. Like we care." She obviously did. Well even if no one around here had been good enough for him I would be. He was now my new target. And the most gorgeous one I'd ever had. I sneaked a glance at him and grinned inside as I saw he was looking curiously at me. Good. I turned my eyes back to the table. Mission Edward begins.

A/N Hope you liked the chapter! Yay we meet the Cullens! I have exams on Thursday and Friday and the whole week after half term so I'm not sure when I'll update again but hopefully it'll be before then. Sorry if the updates slow down a bit but exams are exams lol!
