"Edward…we're late!" Gasped Bella, how had she not seen the time? They were in the meadow, just laying there talking about their future, arguing, Bella wanted to join his family but Edward didn't want to taint her soul, he wanted her to stay mortal, to enjoy her human life to the fullest, not to miss anything, but Bella didn't want that, she wants to be with him forever and every day that passes she grows older, older than Edward, and it scares her more than anything they've faced so far.

"Don't worry…he won't say anything…"Edward replied lazily.

Oh GOD! How can he be so calm? Wondered Bella as she pushed open the door of the classroom and mumbled an excuse…hmm he's right he literally DIDN'T say ANYTHING. Does Mr. Gibson ever say anything? He's even more passive than Edward if that's even possible, I swear sometimes I think when he turns around he is really surprised to find students in the class…ugh..

Bella was in a foul mood, she has yet been able to convince Edward.Making her way to the back, their usual seats, Bella felt that something was odd…something was different here, but what? She sat down, no not the seats; she scanned the room carefully, lingering at every table for just a second. She noticed how the other students were all glancing in the same direction, and then focusing their attention back to the teacher. Following their gaze, Bella caught sight of a head of long, wavy fiery red hair and gasped. OH MY GOD!!!! She thought, VICTORIA! HERE! IN CLASS!

She felt Edward's arms tightening around her, drawing her close…Edward! How had he not sensed her? Why was he so calm?! She couldn't take her gaze of the red-head, too scared to look away; too scared to speak, to even acknowledge the fact that Victoria was in fact dead, dust. No, Bella was in shock.

She held her breath, still staring at the back of the girls head, when slowly, the redhead turned to face Bella as if she could sense her looking at her. Staring into her brown eyes, Bella's breathing returned to normal. The girl was human...all the way...no wonder Edward didn't sense anything. Was she going to get that paranoid toward every redhead she meets?

Still looking at the girl, she noticed she was new to the class but Bella could have sworn she looked familiar…where had she seen that face before? Giving Bella a nervous smile the new girl turned towards the teacher.

"Bella…Bella….BELLA!!!!!" Edward whispered in her ear.

"Huh, what...did u say something?" Bella said, slowly coming down from her musings

"I've been talking to you for five minutes and you didn't hear a word I said" Edward smiled her favorite half crooked smile.

"Wow…I um, I um, I was distracted" she mumbled.

"Well I figured as much, what happened you're as pale as I am."

"Don't laugh ok?" Bella pleaded, now blushing slightly

"I'll never laugh at you" he said, looking deep into her eyes "you can tell me anything…"

"Weeeelllll…..see that redhead?"

"Yeah…" Edward looked to where Bella now had her eyes pinned and then back to her, raising his brows in question

"Umm…I may have had the impression that she was Victoria"

"BAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

Everyone gasped as they stared in shock at the first Cullen they had ever seen laughing out loud, while next to him sat Bella, her face in her hands, wishing the earth would open and swallow her whole.

Mia had the feeling that someone was staring at her, she felt the other students gazes dart towards her often enough, but this was different. She slowly turned her head to find a girl staring at her with a shocked look. Mia gave her a shy smile and turned back, then it hit her, this was the girl from the forest! Omg omg omg omg, she recognized me, she must have, or else why the stare?, ugh just my luck she is in MY class!!! Oh no she is going to asked me what happened, why did I change my hair, where was I from ?...I can't deal with someone snooping around me! Mia started to fret, she hadn't anticipated this, and she wasn't ready for this scenario,

Umm ok let me see, I am an orphan, I lived in Brooklyn, decided to come to Forks? Why? Umm dropped a pin on the map and it landed on Forks? Right yeah, so not insane, how about I liked the rain and some of the children of the orphanage recommended Forks…hmm that will work…I'll stick to saying the bare minimum…ugh I suck at lying.

Mia calmed down a little, she had sorted out her cover story, as for her, she just felt she needed a change, I mean everyone likes change.

She looked down at her books, she knew all this stuff, she had already taken it, one of the advantages of having Lily as a friend…oh Lily, how she missed her so much, Lily her best friend, Lily her sister..Lily, Michael's sister. Michael: the boy who broke her heart.

NO! I will NOT think about HIM! He is my past that I buried; it's time to move on.

Mia broke out of her trance just in time to hear the bell. She gathered her things and dashed out of the class room, she may have a cover story but she isn't too keen on using it so soon and she wanted to avoid Bella.

As she was walking down the hall, a girl named Jessica bumped her making her fall face forward: "oups didn't see you" she giggled as she walked away with a group of friends all laughing at the incident.

Mia scowled, well it seems Lana clones are everywhere, and she began picking up her books. When she got up she noticed a group of people pass by, as they walked people cleared out of their way, 3 guys and 3 girls, Bells was among them but her gaze was focused on the floor, the other 5 looked like gods and goddesses, beautiful, graceful, untouchable. Mia could only stare after them, wondering who they were, they didn't look like they belonged here they looked like they came from another time, even though they were all dressed in the latest fashion. Another time ha! I really need some food am going crazy, this was one weird first day. Shaking her head she made her way out of school. She headed towards the house she had rented, it was small and cozy and not very far away from school, walking through the kitchen she realized she hadn't bought any food, but she didn't want to deal with the hassle of going out and getting some she decided to stay in bed, it has been after all a long first day of school.
