A/n: I've been getting so many reviews and favourites and alerts, I feel SO happy, so, as an extra special treat, I worked up another chapter. And so we go.

Yes, now that it is the school holidays I have no life.

Chapter 2

First day of school, I hate being a newbie, but what with all the moving about, I have been a new student too often. How I wished Kelise was with me now. She always knows just how to cheer me up. At least I didn't need to carry a bottle with me all day; the damp weather took care of that.

I parked the truck, and went to the General Office.

"Hi, I'm Bella Swan." The lady behind the counter looked up at me.

"Ah… yes we have been expecting you" Obviously, news always travels fast in a small town such as this. She handed me a slip of paper showing my classes, and their venues. "Return it at the end of the day, and get your teachers to sign it."

I nodded then headed for my first class in Forks high. English.

…:::…:::…:::…

Every lesson begun in almost the same way, with the teacher introducing me as the new student, which is kind of redundant as any new face would have stuck out immediately, and me going as quietly as possible to one of the rare empty seats.

In English, I sat behind a pair of twins. They both had auburn hair, pale skin, and their eyes were almost the colour of the stream that ran behind my house, only a little greener.

They turned to look at me. "Diana and Adain Spader" the boy said, introducing his sister and himself.

Diana. Adain. "Naiad?" I asked. It was exactly how I got to know Kelise, except I asked "Selkie?" instead.

They looked shocked. Then they recognized the distinct mark of pale skin and eyes of a shade of water. They then grinned and nodded.

Judging by the slight greenness in their eyes I asked quietly "You guys stay downstream of Officer Swan's?"

They nodded. Maybe I'll visit them sometime.

…:::…:::…:::…

By lunch break, I already made a few other friends. Jessica, Mike, Eric, Lauren, Angela, Ben… and some other I can't remember.

I was sitting with them at the lunch table, and then, I noticed: them. There were five of them. All pale skinned and extremely beautiful. They didn't seem to touch their food. Anorexic, maybe, which would explain the thin figure of the two girls, but they didn't seem to be fragilely thin, but just slender. Also, the males are also good looking, slightly muscular, especially the one with the dark curly hair.

I tapped Jessica, who was sitting next to me, on the shoulder.

"So do you want to try out for cheerleading, I can organize a try out for you." Jessica was cheer captain, because "The seniors are too busy preparing for their SATs, so the juniors are leading the team, and I got voted as captain." Roll eyes.

"Um… no thanks. I just wanted to ask who they are." I pointed at the table where the five beautiful people were seated.

"Oh. Those are the Cullens, they moved here two years ago."

"Wait, they are all siblings?"

"They were adopted by the Dr. Cullens. The two blonde ones are Rosalie and Jasper Hale, they are twins. The short one is Alice, the muscular one is Emmett and the last one is Edward. And also Rosalie and Emmett, and Alice and Jasper are together. And they live under the same roof! But forget about Edward, he doesn't date…" then she continued blabbering about other things which I just nodded to. The truth was, I was intrigued about them, especially about Edward. They had skin paler then mine (how is that even possible?), and they all had eyes of various shades of topaz, from butterscotch to black.

…:::…:::…:::…

When break was over, I had biology, to which I was kindly escorted by Mike.

After being introduced to the class, I went to the only available seat. The one next to Edward Cullen. He looks like a god. His eyes were an entrancing, almost black, shade.

I tried to make friends, "Hi. I'm Bella Swan"

"I'm Edward Cullen" I knew that already so I just smiled in reply.

The teacher gave a short lecture, then, it was individual work, we had to cut thin slices off different parts of a plant.

I picked up the small knife we were given, and being my usual clumsy self, sliced my finger open accidentally. There was no blood however, as soon as the knife left that section of the flesh, it sealed back together again. The only sign that I had cut myself was a drop of very slightly pink water on the knife, and the slight pain. The perks of being a mythical creature.

I looked around to make sure that no one had seen the miraculous feat. Everyone was concentrating on their works, but could almost swear I saw Edwards head turn away quickly, or maybe that was just my imagination. He looked like he was under a lot of stress. His knuckles were white from clenching it into a fist too hard, and he was sitting as far away from me as possible. I wonder why. Was I really that repulsive?

I sneaked quite a few glances at him through the lessons, and he now seems to look more bewildered than stressed. Again, I wonder why.

Well, biology ended early, and I decided I shouldn't ask. It'll be terribly rude, and why would I want to make an enemy on my first day of school?

Next was gym. I hate gym. I was always the worst player, but today, being my first day, I was allowed to sit out and watch the session, I won't be so lucky tomorrow

As always the lunch crowd brought on a wave of incessant voices. However, they all seem to have one thing in common, they were all thinking about the new girl in school.

Isabella Swan. Bella.

I searched for her mind's voice, but couldn't find it. No surprise there, what with all the other voices and not knowing her voice yet. I looked around, and I saw her with Jessica Stanley. I shuddered. That was one nasty girl with a wild imagination filled with sick fantasies. I thought back about the time she had a crush on me, and shuddered again at the thought.

Jessica was dishing out the usual gossips, when after a question from Bella, she started dishing out gossips about us, the Cullens. I tried to listen to her mind's thoughts, but all I got was a black empty void. I could not see anything. It was all blank. Weird.

I told the rest about what happened.

"Maybe she's a robot," stated Emmett. We all glanced at him in a weird way.

"You should lay off the sci-fi a little," was Jasper's simple reply.

"Yeah. She looks alive."

"Which does not apply to us."

"Whatever," I stated, and thought about the mysterious girl. She looked simply beautiful. Her name suits her. Long brown hair and slender figure. I wanted to know more about her.

…:::…:::…:::…

Biology, seriously, how many times did I attend these lessons? Sometimes it sucks being stuck in your teens.

I saw the mysterious girl I saw at lunch. Bella. She was walking to the only available seat, the one next to mine. Seriously, does she even have a sense of fear? Many people, even though they don't know my identity, are afraid to get near me, near us, the Cullens, the vampires.

"Hi, I'm Bella Swan," she offered

"I'm Edward Cullen."

She took a seat, and I caught her scent. Strangely she smelt of the forest. Her eyes were the very same shade as the stream that ran beside my house. The same one that runs through Fork's forest, and into the sea down by the reservation.

While doing individual work, I saw her slice through her finger, rather deeply I might add. I braced myself for the stench of blood. Why of all times when I am thirsty? However the smell never came. Her finger looked fine. There was no blood of hers on the knife, or table, or anywhere for that matter. Strange. I swear I saw her slice her finger open. She was looking around, so I quickly turned back to my work.

Individual work was a bore. I wasn't actually seeing what I was doing. I know these stuff by heart. I was thinking about the strangeness of things. Was she a vampire? If she was why was her eyes a shade of clear greenish-blue. I should go ask Alice.

"I don't know either, so don't ask me" Alice spoke to me in telepathically. Future prediction. Sometimes it annoys the hell out of me.

Biology ended early, and I headed for my last lesson, as confused as before.

A/n: Please review, does this answer some mysteries or create more? Hmph. Read on darlings.
