"Bella. Bella it's time to wake up. You have your first day of school today sweetheart," Renee cooed trying to wake me up.

"No," I mumbled and rolled to my side acting like a little kid.

"Get up Bella, come on."

"Go away. Give me five minutes."

"Alright. Well breakfast is ready downstairs, so hurry."

I heard mom close the door behind her. The clock on the bed side table read six in the morning. A groan escaped my throat at the thought of being up this early in the morning. I was not feeling good again today and school was not one of my priorities right now.

Yesterday I had woken up with a hangover and a humungous headache, and stayed in bed all day watching bad TV. Grumbling, I slowly and surely got myself out of bed and walked to my private bathroom.

I stripped out of my pj's while the bathroom started to steam up. The water hit my muscles in every right place and started kneading at the tension there. And just like for the past few days now, I thought of Saturday night.

Edward Cullen had plagued my thoughts for three days. It seemed just like yesterday that he had looked me up and down with those amazing green eyes. The same green eyes that did strange things to my body even with the thought of them. He was everything a girl could ever want. He was tall, hot, and resembled something between a god and model. Although the fact that he was a cocky jock and thought his shit didnt stink was a turn off.

While lying in bed yesterday I stalked the hell out of the school's student website The Hook-up. Apparently Edward didn't have a girlfriend but charmed his way to getting with anything that had boobs or had money and was hot. He was the school's quarterback and had a very rich family and two brothers. He was the same age as me, was born in Chicago but moved, his mom is a doctor, and his dad owns a chain of businesses around the country. Pretty soon I was going to go into full on stocker mode on this kid without him even knowing it.

I scrubbed my body clean and stepped out of the shower to brush my teeth. After that, I walked to my closet on the opposite wall. It wasn't fully stocked yet but just had the bare things I had brought from forks. I threw away anything Mike had given me, so now I was left with hardly anything.

I grabbed the first things I saw which happened to be jeans and an old t-shirt. I brushed my hair quickly, grabbed my school bag and headed down stairs.

The air smelled of bacon and eggs. I didn't realize how hungry I was till my stomach gave a loud rumble to the smell.

"Well I didn't think you were ever going to leave that bedroom of yours," Phil said from the stove.

"Yeah well, this isn't my favorite time of day to be up and happy about it," I replied. Phil smiled at my sarcasm.

"Oh sweetie your father is having your car brought over from Forks. It should be here by tomorrow but until then you can use the Altima in the garage," Renee piped in.

"Thanks mom. That would be great." Phil came over with my plate of eggs, no bacon. I hated the greasey taste it left in my mouth.

While eating I took time to examine where everything was in the kitchen for future reference. I knew we needed my special cerial and Phil needed more of his energy bars-I ate the last one yesterday-and The kitchen had a cozy cottage feel to it. The cabinets were white with stainless steel appliances and the floor was a dark wood throughout the house.

I finished my plate of food and took it to the sink to wash out. I looked at the battered watch on my wrist, it read 7:05.

"Got to go. See you guys after school," I called to mom and Phil.

"Wait I need a picture," mom called.

"Can you hurry. I dont want to be late," I complained.

Renne grabbed her camera from the counter and I took a quick shot to make her happy. When she took her shot i made a beeline for the garage before she could ask for anymore. The Altima was at the back of the garage right by Phil's Silverado. I unlocked the car and climbed in.

The Altima was a sleek black with leather interior. I put the key into the ignition and it roared in response. Instead of stomping on the gas like I would have to do with my truck, I had to consciously toe the gas so I didn't crash.

It was a miracle that the car had a GPS because I had no clue where I was going. The roads were much more packed with cars than Forks was, so the traffic is something I was going to have to get used to. Jacksonville was so much brighter and warmer than Forks. It almost reminded me of Arizona except the beaches were alot prettier here. The high school was about a ten minute drive from the house so it wasn't that bad.

I found a parking spot pretty easily. It was right across the street and in walking distance to a little diner on the corner. I got out of the car and headed for the front office. The school was something else I was going to have to get used to. it was about twice the size of Forks's because the population was way higher.

"Bella! Bella! Bella behind you," I heard the familiar husky voice call from behind me.

I turned to see Jacob jogging up behind me. I had met him the first day I got to moms house. I was soaking in the sun on the beach when a football hit me square in the face. Of course Jake threw it as a way to get my attention but now we had begun to be good friends.

"Hey Jake. I was hoping to see you here," I called to him.

"So glad you actually found the place," Jake said grabbing me in a bear hug.

"Haha Jake you're so funny."

"I try. So you heading to the office to get your schedule?"

"Yeah. Walk me?"

"Absolutely."

Jake guided us to a building to our left. The office was really stuffy and claustrophobic feeling. The woman at the desk looked to be about in her sixties and had a pinched looked on her face.

"Name," she demanded.

"Isabella Swan," I replied. "Jake you better head to class, I wouldnt like me to be the reason you're late. Again."

"Relax Bella. You need my assistance. Trust me." He winked at me and laughed as if I amused him somehow.

"Here you go. Now I just need you to sign this and here is a map of the school. Young man, will you show Ms. Swan to her locker and classes," the woman named Dorothy said.

"Sure thing Ms. Dorothy,'' Jake replied.

I handed the sheet back to the lady and took my schedule. My first class was Calculus. What a good way to start off a morning

"That's over in the seventh building over there," Jake pointed to the far right. "I have science over there so I can't walk you. But we have third together so I'll see you then."

"Ok. Bye Jake."

I headed into the direction Jake had pointed out. The class was on the second floor of the building. I opened the door and handed a piece of paper to the teacher.

"Class, this is Isabella Swan. She is transferring from Forks High, so make her feel welcome," Mr. Harris said. "You can take a seat were ever its open."

As I look around the class I swear I about shit myself. There was Edward effin Cullen looking as hot as ever. And of course the only seat open was two away from him in the back. My wobbly legs slowly carried me to the only god for saken seat open. From the corner of my eye I saw a small smile play on Edwards lips.

The class pasted me by in a blur. I had already learned most of the stuff he was reviewing so my thoughts just drifted. It would be my luck that Edward was in this class. I wonder if he likes me or thinks I'm a total freak? These kind of questions had been popping in and out of my mind since the party last Saturday. I can't believe I cared what a stranger, a hot one, thought about me. What the heck was I thinking?

"Bella did you hear me? What is the answer to number three on the board," Mr. Harris asked me.

"Umm... it's...," I tried to look like I knew what was on the board when in truth I had no idea. "It's... false?" I totally just guessed that.

"Correct," Mr. Harris said with a smile.

I breathed a sigh of relief. My cheeks were on fire from everyone starring at me especially Edward, who was laughing at me silently. The bell rang realsing me from this torture room I had just endured. I checked my schedule and map and walked twards the first building.

The rest of the day pasted in a blur. I sat with Jake and a bunch of his football friends for lunch and made friends with some of the girls at the table. Mainly they gossiped and to my total horror talked about Edward Cullen and the girl he supposedly talked to Saturday night. My classes were ok, the teachers were really boring and smelled. Thoughts of Edward continued through my head all day, partly because the universe was trying to punish me and we had four out of seven classes together.

Thankfully though I was free of Edward Cullen seventh period. Before I even looked to check the time the last bell dismissed us. Jake was waiting for me outside the door to walk me to my car so I didnt "hurt myself or got lost" as Jake said at lunch.

"Ready," Jake asked.

"More than you will ever know," I replied.

"Oh, umm... I hate to ask you this but... uh my car got towed earlier for something stupid like parking in a tow zone and I have no ride home. Do you think you could give me a one? Just for today though."

"Of course. After all you you hepled me not to get lost and look like a total ass today." Jake laughed at that. "And you should stay over for dinner. Renee and phil are dying to meet you. They think theres something between us." I joked. It was pretty rediculous, me and Jake were just friends and I hope he knew that too.

"Hey Swan, come here," I recognized that smooth voice anywhere. It was constantly nagging at the back of my brain.I turned and there he was in all his glory.

Edward Cullen was leaning up against a wall accross from the parking lot. I walked over to him with Jacob at my heels like a dog. Suddenly I wished Jake would leave so I could talk to Edward alone.

"Can I help you with somthing," I asked sarcastically. Act cool Bella... Act cool I chanted to myself.

"Actually you can smart one. You seemed to have droped your phone at the party last Saturday. I picked it up for you and it's in my car. Do you want it?" he asked with an almost sincere tone.

"Yes. I didnt realize I had droped it."

"Well just follow me then. My car is parked back there. Try to keep up. Oh and dont worry I didnt answer any of those texts from that kid Mike."

Holy crap, I almost forgot about Mike and him blowing up my phone. What did Edward think about me now? God this is embarassing. We walked to his car at the freaking back of the parking lot to get my phone. He was driving a Red Saleen that was too much for this town. But thats just my thinking.

"Here you go," Edward said handing me my phone, then quickyly snatching it away.

"Hey! I kind of need that if you dont mind," I snapped.

"What will you give me if I give you your phone back?"

"What the hell could you possibly need!"

"Well, I kind of need a date for homecoming. Normally I would take on of the cheerleaders, but they're too peppy. So, would you be my date Isabela?"

Jake sucked in a sharp breath. I turned to face him and he had a pissed off, pained expression on his face I hadn't ever seen before and Edwards was just the opposite. He seemed to think this was some kind of funny joke. Those eyes though said differently. He was dead serious. My heart started to beat faster and i prayed they couldn't hear it.

"It's Bella, and no. So can I please have my phone back?"

"No."

"Cullen give her, her fucking phone," Jake snarled. I was shocked to hear Jacob like this. He seemed just like an oversized teady bear. Now I see that I was wrong. To save us all the stares, I snatched my phone from Edward, grabbed Jacob's hand and turned to go to my car. Before I even took a step someone else grabbed my hand. I turned to look and saw that it was Edward. His green eyes penetrated me instantly and I got lost in how they sparkled in the sun.

"Just think about it Bella, ok," he said.

"Ok," I breathed. Still holding Jake's hand, I moved across the parking lot twards the Altima. A thousand thoughts were going through my head at the moment. How it felt when he touched my had and the way he looked at me. I felt a blush creep up my neck at that thought. But one in particular is how he said my name.

It sent shivers down my spine and I loved the way it sounded. Bella... Who knew it could sound so sexy? I guess there's a first time for everything.
