13 reviews for just chapter one! That's cool guys, thanks a million!

I got my schedule and a school map, and then Alice whisked me into the hallway.

She didn't even glance at my paper before announcing, "Your first class is right down this hallway, third door on the left. I'll come and meet you later, and help you find the next one, okay?"

I smiled, "Okay, thanks!"

Edward appeared out of nowhere and wrapped his arms around Alice, setting his chin on her shoulder. She tilted her head to listen as he mumbled something so quietly I was almost sure he wasn't even talking.

Shock rippled across Alice face and she frowned at him.

He smiled a little bit and whispered just loud enough, "It won't be too long, love, don't be upset."

They shared a gentle kiss before he hurried down the hallway and into the parking lot.

I asked, "Is everything alright?"

She smiled, "Yep! Now hurry up, you're going to be late."

I waved to her and hurried down the hallway, into my first class.

I suffered through that in silence.

I walked out of the class last, after getting the teacher to sign something for me, and I nearly collided with Alice.

I jumped back and accidentally, of course, dropped my thick Spanish book.

I expected it to clatter to the ground, or hit my foot or something, but it never did.

I lowered my head in surprise. Kneeling right in front of me, holding my textbook, was Jasper.

He looked up, his piercing black eyes connecting with mine. He stood up fluidly, never once breaking our eye contact.

A tiny smile played on his lips and he held the book out, "You dropped this."

I blushed a dark shade of red and shakily took it from him, "T-thanks."

Alice's eyes glittered and she chuckled, "What do you have next, Bella?"

I tore my eyes away from Jasper and looked at her blankly, "What?"

She grinned wickedly, "You have Gym next, right?"

I glanced at my schedule, "Uh, yeah. How did you know?"

Shrugging, she took my free hand, "I remembered. We have Gym next, too, come on!"

I asked as she tugged me along, "So, you're both juniors, too?"

Alice shook her head, "No, Edward and I are the juniors. Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett are seniors. This high school groups Gym classes into upper and lower classmen, they don't care which grade your actually in."

I was whisked into the Gym, and led over to Coach Clapp.

He asked, "Isabella Swan?"

I mechanically corrected, "Bella."

Alice waved perkily at the coach before scampering over to Jasper.

Coach Clapp smiled, "We're playing volleyball, partners today. Newton!"

A tall boy with blonde hair and bright blue eyes hurried over to us.

"Yeah?"

The coach gestured towards me, "Be Bella's partner today."

He glanced at me, his eyes shining brightly, "Sure! Come on, Bella!"

I followed him over to get a ball and then two girls mugged us.

I recognized the taller one from my Spanish class.

The shorter one smiled, "Hey! I'm Jessica Stanley, and this is Angela Weber."

I smiled, "Hey."

Jessica glanced behind her, stealing a quick glance at the area where Jasper and Alice were setting up their net.

She asked quietly, "So, you know the Cullens'?"

She sounded extremely interested, almost too curious.

Did I know them?

No, not really. I knew their names, and a little bit about them, but that's it.

"I just met them this morning."

Jessica sighed, "Oh."

Mike cut her off with an irritated sign, "Stop standing around, Jessica, we're going to get yelled at."

Angela and Jessica went to one end of the net and I stood beside Mike.

I warned him, "I really suck at everything that has to do with sports."

He laughed, "I'll cover for you."

So when I served the ball, it flung to the left the sailed inches away from Mike, hitting the coach in the back.

It all went downhill from there.

When I attempted to hit the ball back to Angela, it bounced to the side and Alice had to duck before it cracked her in the side of the head.

Jasper caught it, and glanced at me with wide, amused eyes.

The leonine man walked over to us and smirked, "You foul."

I blushed and he asked me, "Do you need some help?"

Before I could answer Mike demanded, "She's my partner, I can help her!"

Alice bounced over and smiled at Mike, who's mouth fell open.

She laughed, "Not anymore! Why don't you come and play with me?"

Mike followed her ballerina-skip like a dog on a short leash.

Jasper stepped behind me and handed me the ball from around my arm.

I blushed a furious shade of red when his chest pressed against my back and his crazy-cold hands curled around my wrists.

Jessica and Angela were staring at us with wide eyes.

Jasper's chin hovered right beside my ear and his mind-numbingly wonderful voice mumbled quietly, "You have to hit the part of the ball that's near your hand, not the top half of it. Aim between them, because then even if you mess up it might still land inside of the line."

I was too mentally incoherent to do anything. He seemed to notice, because he was the one who lifted my arm forcefully into the ball.

It flew over the net and Angela scrambled to hit it.

With help from Jessica, it was on its way back over the net.

Jasper pulled away from me and shot forward quickly, bunting the hard white ball high into the air. Jessica attempted to hit it, but she missed and it cracked hard against the ground, rolling away.

The bell saved me.

Jasper turned to me, "Are you eating lunch with anyone? Alice is dying to have you with us."

I felt the heat under my cheeks and I shook my head.

Alice's sudden voice made me jump, "Great!! Let's go get changed then we can go."
