AN: Still don't own Twilight, but I'm working on it.

Edward POV

Bella Swan was quickly becoming the only thing I thought about. Ever since my little conversation with her, I couldn't get over how amazing she was. Her voice was so beautiful and angelic. She looked beautiful in her plain clothes. So different from all of the girls that go here. But, then the Volturi girls showed up and Bella completely ignored me. It was like suddenly I didn't exist. I prayed to God that she wouldn't turn into one of them. Maybe she could even change them. Her innocence would rub off on some of those terrible girls and she could make that entire Hall a better place. Bella Swan was the breath of fresh air Volturi Hall badly needed.

I was sitting with the guys at our usual table in the Dining Hall. Emmett was making obscene hand gestures talkine about the stuff him and Rosalie got up to.

"For the last time man, I don't wanna hear it!" Jasper said angrily. He had a sore spot when guys talked about his sister, Rosalie.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry. But she's got the most round and perky--"

"That's it. You're going down," Jasper said cutting Emmett off. The two broke out into a small play fight and I laughed. It felt good to be around my guy friends.

"So, see anything you like?" Jacob said sliding over to me. He gestured to the group of girls sitting on the other side of the hall. The Volturi Girls. Even though they were some of the worst girls in the school, it was still impolite to address them as things rather than people.

"They're people, Jacob. Treat them with respect," I said to him. He laughed and patted me on the shoulder.

"Ease up, roomie. I'm just kidding. And I don't have eyes for them either," he said. The door to the Hall opened and in stepped Alice Brandon, a girl I had classes with and who I thought was Bella Swan. "I've got eyes for her," Jacob said smiling and pointing over to Bella. She spotted either him or me and gave a smile.

What had they done to her. Yeah, she looked beautiful, wait that didn't even begin to cover it. She looked like sex on legs, but in the most respectful way. Her too short skirt clung tightly to her body outlining every inch of her seemingly perfect ass. Her shirt was tight, very tight, and left little to my already perverted imagination. I needed a cold shower. She whispered something to Alice and made her way over to my table. Emmett and Jasper stopped fighting and looked at the goddess that was walking over to us. Was she moving in slow motion for everyone else?

"Hey," she said standing directly in front of me and Jacob.

"Hey," Jacob and I said at the same time. We stood up to meet her at exactly the same time. Bella blushed and giggled nervously. Her laugh was music to my ears.

"Bella, you look hot," Jacob said eyeing her up and down. Was he oggling my Bella?

"Thanks, Jake," she said. So, she knew Jacob. She also called him 'Jake'. She turned to face me ever so slightly. "What do you think, Edward?" she asked shyly. I was at a loss for words.

"Aww, Bella, go easy on little Eddie. He's asexual, but I have a feeling you'll change that," Emmett said from behind me. I turned to glare at him and he laughed. Bella joined in with him and I felt sick. I turned back to face her and her smile made me light headed. I returned it, even though I didn't feel much like smiling.

"So, Bella, baby. You sitting with your Volturi Girls," Jacob asked. He slung an arm around her and she blushed. How did they become friends so quickly? This was only her first day.

"I better sit with the Volturi Girls," she said. "But, I rather much sit over here," she continued. Was she looking at me when she said that? Or was I imagining things?

"I'm Emmett, by the way," Emmett said.

"Oh, right. Your Rose's boyfriend. Sorry, I didn't introduce myself. I'm Bella," she said. She turned to face Jasper and he stood up and held out his hand.

"I'm Jasper," he said looking her in the eyes. She blushed and nodded.

"Nice to meet you all. I better go," she said. She turned on her heel and walked back to the other side of the cafeteria. She took a seat next to Rosalie and I saw her begin to conversate with the rest of the girls.

"She's hot," Jasper said.

"Hell yeah. And I call her," Jacob said. It made me angry that they were talking about Bella that way. I couldn't stand it.

"I have to go," I said. I stood up and walked straight out of the Dining Hall without listening the questions I heard my friends ask me from behind. Isabella Swan was going to be the death of me.

Bella POV

"I just met your boyfriend, Rose. Emmett seems pretty nice. He's really funny," I said to Rosalie. She smirked at me and flipped her hair over her shoulder.

"He's rich too," she said. Victoria held up her hand for a high five and Rosalie gave her one. Was that seriously what these girls cared about? Money? "Oh, don't pout Isabella. I'm with him for other reasons. I have enough money on my own. I don't need his," she said to me. She turned away from me and spoke with Leah and Victoria.

"So, umm, I saw you talking to Jasper," Alice said slowly. I looked up and saw that she was sitting directly in front of me. When did she get there?

"Yeah, he's really nice," I said. He was a bit intense, but he was gorgeous.

"Oh, I know. Isn't he just a sex god? I'd love to get next to him," she whispered.

"Wow, Alice if you like him so much, go over there and talk to him," I said. She laughed a sad laugh.

"Bella, Jasper Hale doesn't know I exist. And his sister is all too picky about the girls he dates," she said. I thought over what she said for less than a second and my jaw dropped.

"He's Rosalie's brother?" I asked. Alice nodded.

"Isn't it obvious? They're both completely gorgeous," she explained. It was true.

"So what's the problem? Alice, you're one of the sweetest people here. Not to mention, you look perfect," I said.

"Don't I know it. But the problem is his sister," she said lowering her voice.

"How is she the problem?" I whispered.

"She controls who he dates and apparently I'm not good enough," Alice said sadly.

"But I thought Volturi girls were the best of the best on here," I said. Alice shrugged her shoulders and stood up.

"Come on, I'm starving," she said. I followed her to the buffet. Alice packed on just about one of everything there. Where did she put it all? She was so skinny! I got a small plate and made a salad. We walked back over to our table and took our seats.

"Bella, I approve of you meal choice," Rosalie said smiling over at me. Then she eyes Alice's plate full of food. I saw Victoria stick her finger down her throat as motion for throwing up. How could she be so mean. "Alice, maybe you should lay back. You're looking a little thick," Leah said. I saw Alice's tiny hands ball into even tinier fists on the table.

"I'm just gonna throw it all up later," Alice said. My eyes widened and stared at her. Rosalie, Victoria, and Leah turned their attention back to their conversation. I didn't miss the fact that none of them were eating.

"Alice, are you serious?" I whispered. She shook her head no and giggled.

"I just said that to get them off my back. I'm stressed, and I eat when I'm stressed," she said.

"Do they always joke like that?" I asked. She nodded.

"That's the Volturi attitude," she muttered. How did I end up here? I never thought of myself as the mean girl. "Don't worry. Some of us ended up here by accident," Alice said giggling. It's like she read my mind. I shook it off and started eating my salad. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Edward Cullen leave the cafe. He looked sad, maybe a little angry. I wanted to go after him but Rosalie stopped me before I could stand.

"Leave emo Eddie alone. He's so not worth your time," she said. By the way everyone looked over at me to see my next move, something told me Rosalie's word was law. I nodded my head and went back to my salad. I didn't say another word for the rest of my meal.
