2. Introductions

BPOV

Oh my God that was the longest class I've ever had! I swear if he looked at me again my face would melt as well as my insides. That's how smouldering his eyes were, they could melt right through you!

Oh well, at least I got away from him for my next class which I would definitely choose over science….maths. But I still hated it.

Again I found my way to class easily and was one of the last few people in. I found a good seat down the back alone with a spare chair next to me.

I checked over the class just to make sure he wasn't in here and thankfully he was nowhere to be seen. I was brought out of my trance by the teacher introducing himself.

The class didn't seem so bad but what we were going to learn I already knew. Luckily I was saved by the bell.

As I slid out of my chair, my foot got caught between the desk and chair and I feel flat on my face in a blink of an eye. I gathered up my book and pencils and I could feel my face going red. I went to get up when a hand extended out to me. I looked up to see a red haired, freckle faced boy with blue eyes looking down on me.

He must have read the weariness in my eyes because he introduced himself, "Hey. I'm Nick. You must be Bella Swan. Here let me give you a hand up and don't worry I promise I don't bite."

I chuckled and took his hand while he offered to walk me to the cafeteria. On the way I asked because curiosity got the better of me, "How did you know my name? Nobody knows me here so how did you find out?"

He gave me an expression that said 'you really think you would be unnoticed' and stated, "Bella your dad is the new chief at the police station. It's a small town, word gets out pretty fast. I think everyone here knows your name, even though it's Isabella, but we know you like to be called Bella."

'Stupid blush'.

By then we had reached the cafeteria and he offered me to sit with him. I took up the offer without a second thought. I mean Nick seemed like a nice guy, so why not? He probably had nice friends to.

He showed me to his table where there sat 5 other boys. They all looked at Nick with an angry expression then he said, "Guys I would like you to meet the famous Bella Swan. Bella this is Jimmy, Tom, Sam, Jason and Bruce." They all waved while I blushed and smiled back with a polite wave accompanying it.

They all made space for Nick and I. We were talking about what Florida was like and how it was different from here when two girls came up and stopped the guys' ramblings right in their tracks. They smiled sweetly at me and said, "Hi you must be Bella. It's lovely to finally meet you. And by the way I'm Chloe." Said the taller blonde girl politely in a high pitched cheerleader voice, then she bent down to hug me. Her friend, Steph, did the same.

I offered them to sit with us and the boys had the goofiest grins on theirs faces as they accepted. We all moved round to make more room and all lunch people were coming up and introducing themselves then sitting down with us.

Halfway through lunch 5 tables were joined together and all the seats were taken at them. We were all laughing at old stories about teachers they had all had when something, or should I say someone caught my attention.

It was the guy from science this morning. I don't remember his name…………… 'Did he ever say his name actually?' I tried to remember through all the guys names I had already learnt.

Jimmy, Tom, Sam, Jason, Bruce, Nick…………………………………………………… Nope, none of them. He mustn't have introduced himself. I turned to Chloe, the girl who introduced herself to me first at lunch after Nick and his friends, and interrupted saying, "Excuse me Chloe. That guy over there walking towards that table in the corner, I was wondering what's his name?"

"Oh that's Edward Cullen. The hottest guy in the school who doesn't seem to be into dating at all!" she said with a sour but dreamy look on her face.

I looked back over to see he was sitting down alone.

That name rings a bell! But where have I heard it before??? I swear I've heard it before.

Just one minute...................... EDWARD CULLEN!!!! No way the only guy I had ever liked, and that was way back in kindergarten? The Edward Cullen of my dreams?

'No it can't be. As if.' I really have to talk to him to find out if it is.

Actually, no it can't be him. He has an older sister, Alice, I'm pretty sure, and that would mean that she would sit with him. They were never seen apart.

No it couldn't be that is just to freaky when I was just thinking about him the other night.
