BellaPOV

I thought about the bronze haired guy until lunch when Jacob arrived on his bike. He was all ready for football--at all pictures of health--and would be starting the next day. He met me outside my spanish classroom, as always, and pulled me aside to kiss me. When we broke apart, we headed for the south hall, and awaited Angela and Ben, who had nearly all their classes together. This one was English, which always got out late because the teacher was a two term sub from Central Africa who couldn't read the clocks, and had poor eyes. When they were released, Ang and Ben gave Jacob hugs, as always, and we headed for our table.

But our table was already occupied. By the Cullens.

"Guess we have to find a new table," Jacob sighed. He spotted another empty table, and headed toward it. Angela and Ben followed.

"Actually," I said, putting a hand on his arm. "I'm going to go talk to them. They clearly have no friends here."

Jacob shrugged. "Okay, but try comeing to eat with us too," he smiled, and kissed me.

I walked toward the Cullens, and saw that they were all silent, exept for the blonde girl who was whispering to the pixie, who looked up when she saw me out of her side vision. Everyone at the table was then looking at me. I looked to the pixie first, cuz she was closer.

"Hi, I'm Bella." I extended my hand. She took it with a smile that i gladly returned.

"I'm Alice." Her voice was a perfect high suprano that sounded like music and matched her smallness. "And this is Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, and Edward." Rosalie was the blonde girl, Jasper the blode boy. Emmett was the big dark haired boy, and Edward was the bronze haired guy that was staring/glaring at me.

"It's nice to meet all of you. I hope you're enjoying Forks--not that there's that much here."

"Won't you sit with us?" Jasper asked, then he winced, and glared at Edward.

I pretended not to notice, and sat next to Alice, who made room for me when I was asked.

"Well, I think it's a nice little town. I just wish there was a shopping mall around." Alice shrugged. "Do you know where one is?"

"Well..." I thought for a moment. "The nearest I know of is in Port Angeles, if you're looking for a real mall. But it's a bit of a drive, so we only really go when we need something special."

"Like dances?" Rosalie asked, suddnly perking up.

"Yeah." I nodded. "In fact, the next dance is next month--winter formal."

"Omg! We have to go!" Rosalie seemed like the kinda girl who wanted to have fun and dress up.

"Are you going?" Alice asked me.

"Yeah. We all go--Angela, Ben, Jacob and I. Me and Ang are actually going dress shopping in two weeks. Maybe you guys could come with us."

"We'll have to ask Esme, but we'd love to," Alice said, after she and Rosalie glanced at each other.

"Whos Esme?" I asked.

"My mother," Edward replyed.

"My aunt," Emmett said.

"Our fathers wife," Jasper said, gesturing between himself and Rosalie, who nodded.

"Third cousin," Alice smiled.

Wow. So many connections. Such a small family. Angela would be interested in this.

"So where did you guys move from?" I asked.

"Alaska," Jasper said, emplying himself and Rosalie.

"Montana before Alaska." Edward said.

"Portland, Oregon," Alice and Emmett said together.

Wow.

"I was new last year. I moved from Pheonix, Arizona." I shrugged. "I know how differant it is, but it's pretty great one you get out."

"That's good to know," Edward laughed. "So the rain isn't bad once you're in it alot?"

"Kinda. Depends on how much you adore the sun and loathe the rain. It was easy for me, but I have something that keeps me here every single day." I smiled, and looked over my shoulder at Jacob, who was laughing at something someone had said.

"Boy friend?" Alice asked. Rosalie was still looking a him. He was pretty hot, haha.

"Since we were ten." I nodded. "He lives in LaPush, but he wanted to see me more so he transfered."

So we talked about past relationships, and family for a while. But once, I said how much I loved Jacob, and how I hoped we'd be together forever, I sware I heard Edward say, "keep hoping" under his breath. But I probably just imagined it.
