I told Emmett to don't tell anyone I was in Forks, he reluctantly agreed. Charlie and I dropped him off about a quarter of a mile away from his house, so that they would see me or hear Charlie drive up.

A week had passed and no hate mail arrived, so I assumed Emmett kept his word and didn't tell anybody. The nest day was Monday, the first day of my junior year in Forks High School, Home of the Spartans. It was spring break when I arrived, so school was out for one and a half weeks. I was a nervous wreck. I didn't know what to wear, where my classes were, and what to expect. I only saw the situation in three scenarios.

One: I could enter the high school, beg for Alice's and Edward's forgiveness, then we'd all be friends again.

Two: I could enter the high school, Alice and Edward would hate once they saw me and never speak to me again.

Three: I could enter the high school, pretend I had amnesia, and say I didn't know who they were. Then we could all start anew.

I was only sure of one thing: Tomorrow is not going to go well.

The next day I was extremely tired because I didn't sleep the night before. I kept thinking and worrying over Edward's and Alice's reactions when they see me.

I got up out of bed and made my way towards my bathroom. I took my time showering and brushing my teeth. I applied mascara on my eyelashes, and inspected myself in my mirror. This was as good as I'll ever get. I went into my room and rifled through my drawers. Since it was sunny outside, which was a first, I decided to wear yellow, denim, short shorts with a plain, purple, fitting tee, and over that I wore a Billabong Charcoal Hoodie (Outfit on profile). I looked at my alarm clock and realized I was running late. So I looked as quickly as I could to find matching socks, grabbed my yellow, low-cut converse, and went downstairs.

As I made my way towards the kitchen, I noticed a key ring that had two keys. I wondered if Charlie walked to work and thought I should borrow his cruiser. I'd rather walk. I was about to walk out the door when I saw a note stuck to the counter.

Good Morning Izzy!

I hope your first day goes great!

there's some orange juice in the refrigerator and



toast in the microwave that's screaming your name!

Have a good day! Oh and I took

the honor of buying you a truck! I hope you like it!

Love you, Charlie.

I screamed. My own truck! A truck! OhmyeffinGod! "I got a truck!" I yelled to no one in particular. I was so giddy! I looked into the microwave for me toast and grabbed it out, as I did with my orange juice from the refrigerator. After I put my socks and shoes on and I made sure I had everything in my backpack, I chewed and gulped my way to the door, my keys already in my hand.

I walked to the side of the house and fell in love. My truck was so me. It was an old Chevy that looked strangely familiar.

I got in and drove to school. Luckily, most of the kids at Forks High School were about as rich as I was, so my truck didn't stand out, as much. It would've fit right in if not for the rattling sounds my truck made. As I got out, people stood where they were and gawked. I turned around to get my backpack from the back of my truck when I saw them.

I saw all of them, plus two more.

First, I saw Alice, she wore a navy blue pleated dress, with a leather round buckle belt. She carried an Abbey Satchel bag, on her wrist she wore an Enamel Bracelet, and at the top of her head were sunglasses by Moschino (Outfit on profile). The second person I saw was holding Alice's hand, Jasper. That made me smile. They made such a cute couple. I looked to their left and saw Rosalie talking to Emmett. She was wearing a dark, grey, knit dress over black tights. She wore a patterned scarf around her neck, a black handbag at her side, she had on tall, black boots, and she wore Aviator shades, covering her eyes. Emmett looked like he was actually paying attention to her, maybe he liked her. They'd make a cute couple as well.

There were two other people I had never seen before. They were holding hands; one was a girl, the other, a boy. The girl had curly, brown hair. She wore eyeglasses and had a sundress on. She looked extremely nice. Her boyfriend, I assumed was Asian. They too, made a cute couple.

Then my gaze switched automatically to the lone figure walking apart from this group. Edward.

He looked gorgeous. He wasn't as muscular as Emmett, he was lean, and was a natural kind of muscular. He wore a black leather jacket over a white tee, and he wore jeans that fit him perfectly. (Outfit on profile). I quickly looked away so they wouldn't notice me.

I felt a stab of jealousy towards that girl I had never seen before, she and her boyfriend talked to them like they've known each other for ages. The bell knocked me out of my thoughts. I briskly made my 

way to my class, when I realized I didn't know where my class was. I felt someone tapping my shoulder, so I turned around only to face that nice-looking girl from earlier.

"Are you lost?" She asked, concerned. I was glad she didn't ask if I was new.

"Ummm… yeah actually." I replied.

"What room are you going to?"

"I'm actually looking for the main office… I haven't gotten my schedule yet…" I said, blushing.

She chuckled. "I'll take you there, and then we'll see what your first class is."

I followed her until we came to a lady behind a desk. Her hair was is a tight bun and she wore eyeglasses. I looked back at Alice's friend silently asking if I should go up to the lady, she nodded. I looked back at the lady, she reminded me of a strict, ballet teacher.

"Hi. My name is Isabella Swan. I transferred here from Phoenix."

"Oh. You are Chief Swan's daughter?" She said this as a question.

"Uh… yeah."

"Here you go." She said with a stern smile, as she handed me a piece of paper, I assumed was my schedule, and an excuse note.

"Thank you… uh…" I looked at her name tag, "Mrs. Moss."

"You're welcome Isabella." She replied, tersely.

"Oh please, call me Bella." I smiled.

I turned around and gave Alice's friend my schedule. She took it, looked at me, and said, "Well Bella, my name is Angela. You can either call me Ang or Angie." She said with a warm smile. As much as I didn't want to, I liked her immediately.

She looked down at my schedule and her eyes lit up. "Hey, you have first through third period with me. Isn't that great?" She asked, a little bit too excited. I could tell Alice rubbed off on her a bit.

"Yeah, that's cool." I said honestly.

As the late bell rang, I was wondering if we would get into trouble since we're late, but then I remembered my excuse note. "Our first class is English Literature. We have it with Mr. Mason. He's a pretty cool guy. Follow me."

We turned down a few hallways and got to, I supposed, my first period. We went inside and I handed my excuse note and schedule to him. He grunted then told me to sit by Angela. I was relieved. I 

turned around to see the faces of my classmates staring back at me. Then I noticed a boy with blonde hair and an angelic face. Jasper…

When Bella walked in with Ang, I recognized her instantly. She didn't look entirely different. She had all her teeth this time, grew taller, lost her baby face, and had a teenager's body. As she walked in, everybody stared at her, but she didn't look at anybody, she just went straight up to Mr. Mason and handed him two sheets of paper.

I heard Mr. Mason tell Bella she'll be sitting next to Ang, so then that means she'll be sitting right in front of me. I felt something graze against my forearm, so I looked down and saw a piece of paper. It was probably a note from Ang.

I opened it and read:

Bella is a new student. She like transferred here from Phoenix. She's pretty cool. I like her. You have first and second period with her.

I wrote back replying:

I know her! When I first moved here, she was one of the first people I met. But then she suddenly left the second day of school. I wonder why she's back… but she is cool though.

I passed the note back to Ang, who snatched it out of my hand fast. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Bella taking her seat in front of me. I wonder if she recognizes me, or at least remembers me…

I looked towards her, she was in shock. She smiled then mouthed, 'Hey Jasper.' I nodded my head in turn. 'So she does remember me' I mused.

First and second period passed by slowly. I got to know Ang a bit better, and wasn't surprised when she said that Ben, the Asian dude from earlier, was her boyfriend. I caught up with Jasper, and wasn't surprised when he said Alice was his girlfriend. He asked me what I have been up to, and I summarized my life in Phoenix in five minutes. This included my failure of ballet classes, my nonexistent life at school, my mom's new boyfriend, Phil, and my continuing clumsiness.

When third period arrived, I wasn't as tense as I was in the morning. Though, when Ang escorted me to class, all the tension that faded away, came rushing back to me, ten fold. Ang tried to get me to relax by introducing her friends in that class, but all I could think about was the reason I got so tense all of a sudden. Him. Edward. He was sitting right there third table, on the left side, from the white 

board. He sat by himself. I panicked, I didn't know what to do, so I tried to include myself in the conversation Angela and her friends were having, but I couldn't. When Ang realized this, she gently shoved me to the front of the classroom, and took my schedule out of my hands and handed it to my teacher. I was interrupted from my panicked thoughts by a, "Hello. I'm Mr. Banner and I'll be your Biology teacher for the rest of the school year."

"H-Hi. Uh I'm Isabella but just call me—"

"Bella." A silky, velvety voice said. I looked around to see who said that, and planted my eyes on Edward. Everybody was staring at him, but his eyes were only on me. I felt so self conscious. We stared at each other; my eyes seemed like they couldn't stray away from him. After about twenty seconds, he looked away.

I cleared my throat, my heart already speeding up, and feeling flustered, I turned to Mr. Banner and said, "Yes. Just call me Bella."

"Okay Bella. You will sit next to Cullen for the remainder of the year, since you two already seem to know each other and it's the only seat available." I reluctantly made my way to the seat next to Edward.

I was about to sit down when a cool breeze blew in, causing my hair to flap wildly across my face. I lost my line of view and missed my seat. I started falling.

I closed my eyes as I waited for the impact between my face and the floor, and when none came, I opened my eyes, and stared into the shocked, surprised, emerald green eyes of Edward Cullen. I blushed.

I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up when Bella walked into the classroom. My two friends, Geoffrey and Tanya, already texted me and said there was a newbie in school. I just didn't realize that Bella was the newbie. When I saw her, I expected a flood of anger, but instead I felt strangely happy and relieved. After seven years, Bella is back. She's back…

"H-Hi. Uh I'm Isabella but just call me—" I broke her off by finishing her sentence. "Bella." I didn't know what came over me. I just felt the urge to say her name out loud to see if what I was seeing was for real. I felt the eyes of everybody on me but all I could look at was Bella. She looked beautiful. Her gaze met mine and I took my time taking in every detail and angle of her face. When I saw a blush creeping up into her face, I had to look away, or else I would've kissed her right then and there. Ashamed at how weak I was, I bowed my head down and looked at my hands shaking.

What was she doing to me? She was only Bella. Just Bella…

"Yes. Just call me Bella." She said to Mr. Banner.



"Okay Bella. You will sit next to Cullen for the remainder of the year, since you two already seem to know each other and it's the only seat available." This class just got interesting.

She made her way to the empty seat next to me and just as she was about to sit down, the wind blew in, and her scent spread throughout the room. She smelled like strawberries and freesia. She looked extra beautiful with her hair flowing like that, she also looked annoyed. I was just about to hold her seat out for her, when I stopped myself. What's gotten into me? I looked at her and then all of a sudden, she started to fall. Before I knew what I was doing, I was holding her in my arms, our faces only inches apart. Then she blushed, and I smiled. I've always loved it when she blushed, she looked so adorable.

She stood up, taking her seat. I was utterly disappointed; I wanted her to thank me, beg to her mine.

Mr. Banner caught everybody's attention as he cleared his throat. "Okay, let's get this class started." He said.

I tried to pay attention, but the entire time, I was aware of Bella's presence, so I tried not to make a move. I stood as still as a statue. What's she doing to me? I thought to myself.
