Hello, here's the next chapter! Sorry for any grammar mistakes, but punctuation isn't my strong point if you get my gist. Thanks ever so much to the people who reviewed my last chapter! I hope this one is as satisfactory as the first! Just so you know, all the characters look the same as in the book and Rosalie and Emmett are together, as are Alice and Jasper. No one is related apart from Emmett and Edward. On with the story!
Disclaimer: I wish I did, but I don't. All characters belong to Stephenie Meyer.

EdPOV
We got to school in a matter of minutes thanks to Emmett's reckless driving. My head still throbbed a bit from where Aunt Richelle hit me. When I got out of the car Emmett handed me my bag and cane. I heard my name being shouted.
"Edward!" that was Alice,
"Emmett!" Rosalie's voice,
"Over here!" and Jasper.
I walked toward where I thought they were. Someone grabbed my elbow and dragged me in the right direction.
There was a chorus of "hello" and "how are you". Emmett explained what happened this morning while I stood there staring into the blackness. When Emmett got to the bit where our Aunt hit me, Alice gasped and hugged me. I smiled.
"Why are you smiling Edward?" asked Rosalie curiously.
"You guys are so good to me, I appreciate it so much." I said quietly, meaning every word.
"Oh, Edward" Alice said dramatically, returning to hugging me.
"Alice, give the man some room!" came Jasper's low, calm voice. Alice let go of me.
"Oh! Look at the time! The bell is about to go. Come everyone, to class we go!" Alice said in a rush, linking arms with me and pulling me to our next class. I had maths with Alice first thing. We arrived a little late and sat down in our usual seats at the back.
Someone threw something at me, it hit my shoulder and I jumped and nearly fell off my chair. Everyone laughed. I turned a light shade of red.
"What did they throw?" I muttered to Alice.
"Piece of paper…no, wait…a note" Alice whispered.
"What does it say?"
Alice cleared her throat "Hey elf, still hangin' round wiv da blind man? If u get fed up wiv him I can tell u a gr8 prank 2 pull on him" she read angrily. I could tell it was written in abbreviations by the way she said it, "Right that does it!" I could hear her pencil scribbling away on the paper, she crumpled it up and threw it back.
"What did you put?" I asked.
"You don't want to know" she muttered darkly. I tried not to smile, but failed miserably.
The rest of class was uneventful, whoever threw the paper to start with did not throw it back, so whatever Alice wrote seemed to work.
The next two lessons dragged by, but eventually it was lunch and I walked towards the canteen.
"Hey Edward!" Rosalie's voice came from my right, I jumped slightly.
"Hey Rose"
"Come on, Alice wants to tell us something" she said pulling on my arm. We got inside the canteen and walked (stumbled in my case) towards our usual table.
"Guess what, guess what!?" Alice said excitedly, she didn't wait for an answer, "There's a new girl! She's Chief Swan's daughter and she's in my English class!"
"Oooh! Is she nice?" squealed Rosalie.
"She's quite shy, but she seems nice" Alice responded.
"Only girls could get exited over something like this" mumbled Emmett. Alice and Rosalie just ignored him and chatted about something to do with shopping this weekend.
"I heard that there is this sale…" said Rosalie
"So Edward, how was your day?" asked Jasper to my right.
"Dull" I answered. Jasper chuckled.
I ate my lunch in silence, listening to the sounds around me. Alice and Rosalie's conversation, Emmett munching away, Jasper humming under his breath and the general chatter of the canteen.
"What time is it?" I asked after a while.
"Oh! It's nearly one! Class will start soon!" panicked Alice.
I stood up and nearly tripped over my chair, Emmett steadied me.
"What do you have next Edward?" He asked.
"Biology, then English"
"Ok, see you after school!"
"Bye Edward, Jasper, Alice!" said Rosalie walking away with Emmett.
"Bye everyone!" I called, walking to Biology.

I went to class early after lunch, so if I lost my way I wouldn't be too late…hopefully. Thankfully I got to class with seconds to spare. I walked up to the teachers desk and handed him my slip. He signed it and told me to sit in the only spare seat, at the back next to a beautiful bronze haired boy with oddly pale green eyes. I went and sat down.
He turned to look in my direction with a surprised look on his face.
"Hello?" he greeted. His eyes were focused just above my left shoulder. Then it hit me. He was blind.
"Hello, I'm Bella Swan, I'm new here." I said, felling nervous for no apparent reason. What was I supposed to say? I had no idea how to act round someone who couldn't see.
"It's very nice to meet you Bella." He said politely.
"Thanks!" I grinned. We sat there in awkward silence for a while, then thankfully the teacher started the lesson. I kept glancing at Edward whenever the teacher stopped to write something on the board, luckily he didn't notice.
Of course he didn't notice you idiot I thought to myself He can't see you!
Finally class ended and I packed my stuff in my bag. I got up and pushed my stool under the desk. Next to me Edward was slinging his bag onto his back, but he walked backwards into the chair and toppled over. I held my arms out to catch him, as he fell into my arms electricity passed through my heart but when I placed him back onto his feet it went away.
"Thanks" he muttered, slightly pink. He turned and walked hurriedly out the room before I got a chance to say "your welcome".
I went to gym in a daze. All I could think about was Edward.
"Hey Bella!" someone called behind me.
Oh no, please not Mike. I turned round and sure enough, there was Mike bounding towards me with a grin plastered across his face.
"Hi Mike" I said stiffly.
"I was wondering what you were doing at the weekend" he said trying to be smooth. I held back a snigger.
"I'm sorry but I'm busy" I replied sharply.
"What are you doing?" he challenged. I tried to think of a quick excuse.
"Mike, it's very kind of you to ask me, but I have only just moved here and I have a lot of unpacking and sorting things out with my dad." I tried to sound convincing.
"Oh, ok maybe another time" he shrugged walking off to the boy's changing room. I groaned and banged my head against the wall.
"What the hell are you doing?" a boy walked passed me sneering.
"Freak" his mate said shoving his shoulder against mine.
"Ow!" I said in protest and walked into the girl's changing room to get ready for my torture.
