I was happy to have found a possible friend in Bella, even though I didn't know what I'd do next morning. I sighed and reached the gymnasium followed by the annoying and really not original murmurings of those girls, I tried to avoid them as hard as I could.

He's so damn hot... I want him all for me... he must hang out with me..

Boring.

None of them was really interested on me, on my personality or on my character or anything else, they only thought that I was good-looking and that they should hang out with me to show people how much better they were. What a stupid behavior.

But I couldn't care the less, as I didn't want them, I wasn't interested on those girls. My life was now complete and I didn't need anything else than what I already had. Rosalie had filled the hole I had and didn't know to have.

Indeed I had understood what Tanya meant and I should admit that she was right, I needed someone and that someone was Rose.

I was playing football with my new human mates, but I was practically almost concentrated on Rose, I was thinking to the first time I met her and fall for her.

I was coming home after hunting and found Esme coming from the house with a suffering expression. I didn't wait for her to talk, but read her mind to understand her expression.

Edward we found a girl in the woods, Carlisle had transformed her.

"What?" I asked astonished.

We found her in the woods, she had been abused by some humans and abandoned in the middle of nothing, bleeding and almost dead. There was so much blood that I don't know how I could resist it, I think the sight of her fragile body helped me. She whispered and shook her head in disgust. Carlisle brought her to your office and decided together with me and the other to transform her.

I saw the image of a beautiful blonde girl screaming on the bed in Carlisle office, she was in pain and I completely understood her sufferance.

"Oh" what should I say? The semi-life we had was a open work prison, but indeed she didn't deserve to die for the criminal actions of some horrible humans.

Tanya's gone to find them and denounce them to the police.

I walked behind the house to reach Carlisle's office. There were no more shouts. I could only hear the hammering of her heartbeat and the thoughts of Carlisle and the girl.

As I entered the room Carlisle looked at me in pain.

I'm so sorry Edward, but I had to do it, I couldn't let her die.

I nodded. "I know"

And now? Whose is this voice? My sorrow will never end? I can't burn for ever, is this the hell? What did I do to deserve it? I even cannot scream, it doesn't help me.

Oh my god my heart is hammering so fast... it's going to explode.

Her heartbeat had accelerated and after some minutes it reached its last beat. There was silence in the room now, everyone stopped breathing and waiting for her reaction, paying attention to her every movement.

Suddenly she opened her eyes and fixed them on mine, everything was in place. She was gorgeous.

I had never seen a creature as beautiful as she was, looking at me with the typical newborn sparkling red eyes, but with something completely different from any other woman -vampire or human- I had ever met. I felt in love with her at first sight and never left her in those two years.

Never, before we decided that it was better for her to reach me at school only tomorrow, so I could help her better, knowing the places where we had to stay and the people we'd met. It was her first time among humans but I'd helped her, I'd did anything. Rosalie was everything to me.

Thinking of Rosalie the two hours passed very quickly even though the vulgar mind of the guy called Mike Newton had caught part of my attention and turned my thoughts on Bella for the whole two hours. He had never stopped looking at me full of hatred and thinking of me the worst things.

Cullen 's good at sport but if he wants to hang out with Bella I'm going to warn him, I'm not letting him do it. Bella's mine. He thought as we got out the locker room, I was walking towards the cafeteria, trying to avoid his mental brooding over me and Bella.

I'm talking to him.

I tried to escape from him and entered the first door I met, the toilet. Unfortunately he entered there and called me.

"Cullen" his voice was resolute.

I sighed and turned towards him with a slow movement. I looked into his eyes until he looked away as I knew he'd done because for humans was practically impossible to keep watching at us if we were watching at them. But I didn't want to scare him, I only wanted him to stop thinking of Bella in a so gross manner. I didn't know why I felt so protective of that little human, the only other person I felt this way was Rosalie even though that feeling for Rosalie was not as intense as it was for Bella. But I understood it, Rosalie was a vampire, she didn't need my help, she didn't really need me.

"Newton, what do you want?" I asked him with the most polite tone I could use.

You are such a cock. He thought.

"How's your first day?"

"Mmm, very good, thank you"

"I saw you spoke with Bella" he said and after some seconds added "I hope you're not going to hang out with her"

"I don't think it's your business"

"Yes, it is, Bella's my business" he replied to me and made a step towards me. Someone else entered the toilet but I didn't care, I wasn't going to do or say something out of civil rules.

I looked at him fixedly and make him retracing his steps. "I don't think so and what I'm going to do with her it's her choice, not yours, nor mine".

What did I just tell? The whole period had no sense, indeed he was looking at me astonished.

"You don't deserve Bella" I said with calm.

Bella?? Who's that guy? thought the blond guy near the door.

He sniffed and said coldly "And you do?"

"Never" I replied.

Mike coughed, caught off guard by my secure answer.

"Mike, why don't you go out bothering someone else? I know for you it's so difficult not to be a pain, but you should try!" said the guy just entered into the room.

Mike rolled his eyes but stayed still. Whitlock...

"I told you to go away Mike. I have to go for a pee, I like your t-shirt and I wouldn't take the wrong aim ".

I smiled and saw Mike Newton going out the toilet, telling us softly to go to hell.

"Thank you" I said to the guy who helped me from arguing with Newton.

"Mike is a cock, and I can't stand him when speaks about Bella" he replied to me from behind one of the door of the toilet.

"Are you a friend of hers?" I asked intrigued.

"Yes, but why do you know her? Aren't you the new guy?"

"I met her at Math, she's been very kind to me"

Well, what a great news... Bella's always kind to everyone, she's so convinced to be unbearable... With displeasure I understood that nothing had changed during these four years.

"Yes, she is" he replied to me seriously.

"I'm going to have lunch with her, you'll be there?"

"Obviously, Alice and I always spend lunch with Bella. So, man, let's get out 'Jasper's favourite room' as my girlfriend calls it and reach them" he said and pated me on the back. "Oh, man, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Jasper Whitlock, and you're?"

"I'm Edward Cullen" I replied to him, Jasper was nice and easygoing, and his words reflected his thoughts.

"Edward, let's go and take the trays for the girls" he said smiling and guided me to the queue of the cafeteria. He seems to be a good guy.

Yes, I seemed.

He talked with some mates and I left him there. I found the table where Bella was speaking with the girl I had seen in Jasper's mind and I walked through the room to reach them. Bella looked in my direction but a group of girl walked very slowly in front of me, trying to my attention and she didn't see me. Her face was disappointed, her eyes fixed on the table under her, but I didn't know why she seemed so sad.

As I reached the table her friend, who looked like a pixie, stared at me.

He's so hot... how can Bella say she doesn't deserve him?? Her eyes were jumping from me to Bella but she didn't speak. Human's perceptions were so wrong, Bella deserved more than a monster, it was me who didn't deserve her. Moreover I didn't want Bella to be disappointed with me, because I couldn't give her more than a dangerous friendship, as she was human and I was fell in love with Rosalie.

Even though her friend had noticed me, Bella hadn't perceived my presence, so I spoke "I am sorry Bella I didn't know what you wanted". And this was the truth, I had taken two different dishes to be sure I'd found something she liked.

She turned her face towards me, but her eyes stayed still on my blouse "Don't be stupid Jasper, I don't need your…" as she looked up at my face she stopped talking and didn't finish her phrase. It was funny to see that she was astound by the fact that I was there in front of her as I had said.

"I am sorry, I thought you were Jasper" she stuttered, trying to explain, but her deeply red cheeks and her quickened heartbeat didn't helped her speaking clearly.

"Jasper? I met him on the toilet" I smiled at her. The girl next to her laughed.

"So you met my boyfriend on his favourite place" she said to me.

"He told me you'd say that" I relied and greeted Jasper who had just reached our table.

"I'm Alice, Bella's best friend, and you are?" she asked me politely.

"I am Edward Cullen. It's nice to meet you"

Alice smiled to me and after having kissed Jasper, began to eat her sandwiches.

And if Bella wanted sandwiches? I didn't know what she wanted to eat, I could have been wrong!

"Do you like lasagnas?" I asked finally.

"I simply love it, thank you very much Edward" she answered to me and took the tray with the lasagnas.

"But if you wanted it I can eat the pizza" she rapidly said. She really seemed to be good and considerate. I didn't deserve to put in danger such a good person.

I shook my head to throw away that thought and make a grimace i pretended to be a smile "I have what I wanted" I told her.

"Are you enjoying your first day at Forks High?" Jasper asked me.

"Yes"

"Really?" asked Jasper, he was thinking to Mike Newton and our brief dialogue in the bathroom.

"Yes, everyone is very kind" I answered to him, thinking of Bella, but the image of Newton in Jasper's mind hammered in my brain, and I coughed. "I should say almost everyone"

"Why almost?" Bella asked me preoccupied.

"I don't think that Mike Newton is going to be one of my friend, I can't stand him. Two hours with him have been enough" I explained her and tried to be the most polite I could towards that irritating guy.

"How right you are!" she said and smiled. I was happy to have made her smiling, so I winked at her to underline that we felt the same way towards Mike

"What do you have now?" she asked me.

"An hour of music and then I am free" Yes, finally the so waited course of Music had arrived!

"Music? Are you a musician?"

He can play? Can he do anything? He's hot, kind, he can play music... maybe he is even a good cooker!! thought Alice.

"I like playing piano, and I found this great special course here. That's way I was happy to be at Forks high. I am having almost all I wanted".

"Almost?" asked Alice raising an eyebrow. And he's mysterious... perfect for Bella!!

"Almost" I replied, then thought to Alice's thoughts, she was really exaggerating things and I didn't want Bella to have those same thoughts, but I didn't know how to do that, so after a moment of silence I said "So you're not coming at music's lesson?"

"No, I can't play any kind of musical instrument" she shook her head with force. Jasper and I laughed together.

All of a sudden Alice decided that we were too many in that table so she drag Jasper away from the table, greeted me and went away to leave Bella and me alone.

I kept smiling but I didn't want Bella to be disappointed, and for the first time in 80 years I didn't know how to behave, because I had never been in that situation, I had never approached a human and never tried to be his friend. I hadn't a good reason to do it and indeed I thought that the reason I had found to talk to Bella was very selfish.

She was there, looking at me with those tender eyes and I didn't say anything. As she perceived my eyes on her she blushed making her face looking even nicer than before.

What a bitch! What does she think to do with the new guy? the mental voice of Lauren had stopped the flux of my thoughts.

I knew she would have made a pass with him, but she doesn't deserve such a Greek god. Jessica followed her friend.

I looked back at them, trying to stop their irritating thoughts "I don't think I'm going to withstand the stupidity of that two girls for a long time" I finally said as I understood the curiosity of Bella.

She smiled at me satisfied.

I stood up. "Thank you for having lunch with me. I'm happy to have met you and your friends" I thanked her, I had been sincere, I liked her and her friends.

"Me too"

"See you tomorrow" I greeted her and smiled.

"Uhm, See you" I heard her whispering as I was walking towards Music.

Hi!!

Hope you've enjoyed it!

Are you interested on a continuation?
