I hesitated to open the door, but after a deep breath, I pushed the button. The door slid open revealing me.

The bystanders were completely speechless, the girls, who had obviously been hoping for a hottie, were disappointed. And the boys, expecting said hottie to be a boy, were impressed.

I grabbed my books bag and stepped out of the car,making sure to lock it twice. I made my way through the crowd and soon found that I had a following of boys. They followed me the entire way to the office. When I went inside, they stood outside and stared at me through the window. The crowd was smaller, and I guessed that some had stayed outside to look at the car.

"Hi, I'm Bella Swan, I was told to pick up my schedule."

The receptionist smiled up at me. "Why, hello dear. Here is your schedule and a map. If you have any questions, just come down here and ask." Then she noticed the boys staring through the window, "Try not to put too many of those boys under your spell, leave some for the other girls." She laughed and went back to doing her paperwork.

I turned around and headed out the door, the boys stepped back against the wall to let me pass. I walked quickly, hoping my English class was close. I turned the corner and found it. I walked in and looked for the teacher. I didn't see anyone that looked old enough to be a teacher. Everyone was talking to each other, but looked up when I walked past them. The bad thing about moving to a small town, is that everyone knows each other. I stood next to the teachers desk, hoping he or she would come in soon. A few minutes passed and one of the boys from the desk farthest back came up to me.

"Hello, I'm Mr. Cullen, but everyone calls me Emmet." He extended his arm for me to shake. I looked him up and down, there was no way this guy was a teacher, college maybe, but definitely not a teacher. He put his hand down. "What's your name?"

"Bella Swan."

"Oh, yes, they told me you'd be coming today. Don't worry, we are just coming off summer break, you won't have much to catch up."

"Yeah, I moved here a month ago." This guy has got to be joking, he had to be a student.

"Oh, you came right as we were ending." I didn't think I heard him right, only a month summer vacation?

"You can sit right there." He pointed to a spot in the middle of the room.

"Okay, thanks." I took my seat.

"Okay, class settle down." Mr. Cullen said as the bell rang. The class was suddenly quiet. I was half expecting someone else to walk in and call this kid's joke. But no one did. They all looked at him with respect.

"I hope you all had a good break." Everyone started breaking out into their own conversations about how wonderful their break was. "Kids?" We all looked back to the front. "Lets take out our books. Here Bella, you can use this one." I took the book, still very confused.

We were in the middle of silently reading a section in the middle, when the door swung open. In walked the most handsome boy I had ever seen. Ever. His dark brown hair was partially covering his eyes, but I could see their beauty underneath. He flashed a bright white smile to no one in particular.

"Hey man, sorry I'm late." he said giving the teacher a one armed hug. "Hope it's okay."

"Sit down Ed. And get out your book."

He started walking over to the seat next to me. "Hey, I'm Edward." He said to me.

"Bella, hi." He took his seat and began reading like the rest of us.

After a few minutes he raised his hand, "Emmet? Can I read this later?"

"Come on Edward, you know what happens when you get home, you sit on your butt and do nothing."

"Yeah well, I changed this summer."

"Ed, I live in the same house remember? You haven't changed."

This is where the conversation lost me. Everyone in class was back to talking about their summer, and the reading was forgotten to all except me. I had just finished when the bell rang.

"Class, finish your reading. See you tomorrow."

"Bye Emmet." The class chorused. I guess in a small town, you have to know your teachers outside of school too.

We all stood up to leave, I was eager to get to my next class, even though it was math.

The class went by uneventfully. No one bothered me and I was able to get all my work done. As I left the class, I noticed the boys were following me again. I looked down at my schedule, and to my surprise, saw that I had the next hour for lunch. I walked to the main office. The same woman from before was sitting at the desk.

"Hello. Everything going alright?"

"Yeah, everything is fine. I was just wondering, what is your open lunch policy?"

"Oh, all juniors and seniors can leave campus. Just make sure you aren't late, after five tardies, you can't go out anymore."

"Okay. Thank you."

I wanted to get away from the school, especially the followers I had. I hurried out the front door and unlocked my car. I saw that pretty much the whole school was leaving. I quickly ran to my car, and opened the door. I climbed in and closed it. It was a relief to be alone. I started the engine and turned on the radio. I pulled out of my spot and exited the parking lot. All I wanted to do was get away.
