Edward POV

"Hey, Hannah!" Alice yelled across the lunchroom.

Hannah's head swiveled around, trying to find the tinkling voice that had called her name. Alice danced over to her. "Oh, I just adore your Jimmy Choo's!" Hannah smiled and murmured a thank you, and then followed Alice to the table she had picked out. At least she was being considerate to me, and even more to Bella, I suppose. Alice and Hannah sat down, while I silently stared at my lunch, listening in on Alice's thoughts. She didn't bother to hide them, but that's most likely because she was more occupied with evaluating Hannah's outfit. Curiously, I listened to their conversation.

"…I really don't think so. I mean, Paris is the fasion capital of the world! There's no way…"

A sigh of relief escaped my lips when I found out they weren't talking about me. Bella glanced up at the sound of my breath. I smiled the smile that always seemed to reassure her, and she grinned and went back to picking at her sandwich.

"So…has your brother mentioned anything about me?"

That caught my attention.

"Who, Emmett?" Alice said innocently.

"No, I, uh, meant…Edward."

"Oh. No, I don't think so. Though I could be wrong since he spends most of his time with Bella."

Hannah's face visibly fell, and I casually put my arm around Bella, anticipating her glance. She looked over, rolled her eyes, and focused on Alice again, while I focused on watching my sweet Bella and avoiding Hannah.

Edward POV

Oh, no. Why didn't Alice warn me? She had to have seen this coming! I walked at a decrepit human pace to the front of the school. The last bell had just rung, and Bella apparently had "forgotten" to tell me that a certain organism of the canine species was coming to visit her. I quickly ran outside and saw Jacob talking with Bella. I spotted Alice giving me an apologetic look. I angrily averted my gaze and walked towards Bella.

Hannah POV

I walked out of school, lugging my 10-pound backpack and staring at my iPod, trying to choose a song. I finally found one, "Supermassive Black Hole" by the rock gods, Muse. I barely noticed the commotion around me. I decided to look up and actually watch where I was going and came face to face with Edward.

"Excuse me,"Edward said as he brushed past me without a second glance.

I huffed and silently moved and watched where he was heading. He seemed to be heading towards…Bella. And…3 guys? Well, more like 3 giants. One of the them, the one on the left, caught my attention immediately. He was…sexy. Brilliant. Incredible. D, all of the above. All simple thoughts of Edward left my head, and the empty space was filled with thought's of the magnificent…god. I quickly followed Edward, and stealthily hid in the bushes to the right. I watched the drama unfold before me. Edward looked furious, Bella looked ecstatic, but worried, the middle guy mirrored Bella's face, minus the worry, and the two other guys looked semi-interested in the same drama I was watching. Suddenly, a slight shift of my foot, and I was on the ground. 5 pairs of eyes looked my way. I hastily got up and brushed my jacket off. I quickly turned my attention to the breathtaking god on the left. He was looking at me like…like he'd seen the light, and his life was complete. I must have looked scared or something, because his face turned really kind. At that moment, the middle one said, "Embry?"

Embry. That had to be the most gorgeous name ever.

"Embry?" The middle one waved his hand in front of his face.

"Hannah? Could you come over here for a second, please?" Edward asked, looking slightly awed.

I nodded and walked towards them in a daze. Edward motioned to Embry.

"Embry, this is Hannah. Hannah, this is Embry. He lives over on the rez, in La Push." I nodded my head weakly.

The middle one laughed and I turned my questioning look to him.

"Embry wants to know if you wanted to hang out sometime."

A red-hot blush spread across my cheeks, and I nodded shyly. Since when was I shy? His face lit up like a Christmas tree, as did mine when I saw his reaction. My breath caught in my throat as I thought about the future. I'm pretty sure I'm going to like it here in Forks from now on.
