This is how it happened. I can see where it's going. Can you?

It turns out that Edward Cullen is in AP Bio and is my new lab partner! girly scream of excitement

I walked in at there he was, gorgeous, and staring right back at me with the most quizzical look on his face. When he finally sat down next to me I turned to welcome him to our class… He looked at me as if I were the devil and trying to take away his soul. I hadn't planned on stealing his soul. How could someone loathe someone they just saw.

Hate at first sight? I just don't understand. He acted as if he wanted to get away from me the farther and faster the better. I glanced over and he was gripping the table with such intensity the table started to crack. I barely nudged his elbow, closest to me and he shrunk away from me and actually hissed. I was still staring dumbfounded as he bolted from the room when the bell rang.

I couldn't stop thinking about this amazingly weird boy. Why did he look at me like that? Where did he come from? And were his siblings as rude as he is? Angela pulled me out of it in the hallway.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing… Why?"

"You have the most peculiar look on your face."

"Oh." "Bella, something is up." concerned now, "What's wrong? I've never seen you this pale before." I didn't know what to say. Am I really this readable? I decided the truth would be easiest. It's nothing to get upset about.

"I think Edward hates me."

"He's one of the new kids, right?" I nodded. "Aren't they from Alaska or something. Maybe he doesn't have people skills, yet. They could've been isolated from others, like, their entire lives." Angela almost makes sense. Why can't I ever just let something go? But that look he gave me was filled with soooo much hate. It couldn't have been on accident.

Jacob called right after dinner and Charlie smiled and stepped out of the room to give me some privacy.

"Hey, Jacob. How was school?"

"Quil and Embry got into a huge fight in the lunchroom and got sent home early. Quil broke his hand on Embry's face and then I wrestled Embry to the ground." As he recounted the fight to me, he was thrilled and laughing at his stupid friends. It turns out they were friends again before the fight was even broken up.

"How was your day, Bells?"

"Um…it was good." I didn't want to tell him about the new hostile student. It would just make him angry. He got so mad too easily lately, I didn't want to push it. "Nothing much but we got, like, six new students today."

"Oh." He meant for me to elaborate, but I wanted to change the subject, fast. "We should 'study' tomorrow." He caught my suggestion and lost all interest in the mysterious new students.

"Really? Do you want to study at my house or yours?" Defiantly, yours Jake. Charlie has been getting suspicious when we come downstairs disheveled. I know he likes you, Jake, but I don't think it will stop him from killing you."

Suggestions! I need them.
