Bella:

3rd September 2005 – 7 years earlier

Today is my very first day of Forks high school. I've only just moved back to Forks, to be with my father. My mum and dad broke up when I was 2, so I've never really lived with my dad, at least that I can remember. So, I decided I would spend some time here, so that I could have a change. The only embarrassing thing is that my dad is the chief of police, and his only car is the police cruiser. Luckily, I have saved up and bought my own car. Albeit a very rusty and old Chevy, but anything is better than travelling around in a police cruiser.

"Bells! Are you ready yet?" My dad shouted from downstairs.

"Yeah! I'm coming now!" I shouted back while quickly grabbing my bag and running downstairs. Luckily I only tripped once, but I didn't actually fall over. We walked outside, and got in our separate cars and headed for work and school. I saw many other students arriving, so I quickly found an empty parking space. I got out to go to the main office. I got handed my new timetable and map, and made my way back outside. I saw another girl standing on her own, so I decided to be brave and try and make a new friend.

"Hey, I'm Bella Swan." I said to her, smiling. She looked up to me and smiled. She had dark brown hair, almost black, and was wearing glasses.

"Hey, I'm Angela Webber. I heard you were new here, the chief's daughter returning home." The girl, Angela, said, smiling at me.

"I suppose I'm the talk of the town, then." I said, smiling.

"Yeah, you could say that!" Angela said, laughing slightly.

"So, what lesson do you have first?" I asked politely.

"English with Mr Varner, you?" Angela asked.

"Same!" I told her, and we walked off towards our first lesson together.

After our first day, Angela and I quickly became best friends. She said no one really wanted to be friends with her, or invited her to parties, since her father was the Pastor of the town. I really felt sorry for her.

Things seemed to be going alright in Forks, everyone seemed friendly enough, there was nothing to complain about. Until the day I met Edward Masen.

Angela and I were sitting in the library one lunch time, seeing as it was much quieter than the lunch room, and we both had a love of reading. The librarian was nice, so she let us eat while we were in the library, seeing as we were the only people who ever came here. Just as we were helping each other do our English homework, Edward walked in.

"Sorry, am I interrupting your nerd gathering?" Edward asked snidely, looking solely at Angela. I saw her eyes begin to brim with tears, and decided then and there that I wasn't going to let anyone upset my best friend, no matter how hot they were. He really was hot though, he had bright green eyes, and a very unusual copper hair colour.

"I don't see any nerds around here." I told him, looking around the almost deserted library.

"Oh, well, I do. Two of them, in fact." Edward said, acting cool. I'm not sure who he was trying to impress. I mean, there was no one else with him.

"Really? That's interesting. So, why do you think we're nerds?" I asked innocently, knowing exactly how Edward would reply.

"Because you're being unsociable and are spending lunch time in the library." Edward answered exactly how I hoped he would.

"Well, then that makes you a nerd, too. If not more so." I told him.

"How?" He asked, sounding a bit shocked.

"Well, I believe it's lunch time, and I believe you are in the library. And, I can't see anybody with you, so that makes you even more unsociable than me and Ange. At least we have each other." I told him, and I heard Angela gasp.

"Do you even know who I am?" Edward asked, reminding me of a stuck up famous person.

"Hmmm…Do I know you? Well…you look kinda familiar…but I'm not sure where from… Oh! Wait! I got it! Have you per chance starred in the movie Shrek? You bear a striking resemblance to him!" I said, laughing at his annoyed and angry expression.

"Oh, ha. Ha. Very funny. Of course you know who I am, I'm Edward Masen. Forks youngest ever Quarterback, and youngest ever person on the basketball team." Edward said proudly.

"Actually, I didn't know that. I moved here a couple days ago, I didn't have a clue who you were, other than your name." I told him.

"Oh, shit, sorry." Edward said, but I just laughed him off.

"Don't be sorry, I don't care for your apologies. You were mean to Angela, when she did nothing wrong. Now, I think it's about time you let us get back to our nerd gathering." I said, and sat back down next to Angela and continued with my homework. I felt them both staring at me, but I just ignored them.

"You know, if you want to be popular, you should stop hanging round with that nerd." Edward told me after a long silence.

"You know, I'd rather have the whole school hate me apart from Angela, than act like you just did and have to spend time with you." I told him, not looking up.

"Well, that can be arranged." Edward said harshly before storming off.

"OH. MY. GOD. BELLA! ?" Angela said quickly and happily.

"Yeah, I think that's the most fun I've had in a while!" I said, giggling along with her.

"Thanks for sticking up for me!" Angela said happily.

"Hey, that's what best friends are for, ok?" I asked her.

"OK!" She shouted back. The bell rang signalling the end of lunch, and so I made my way to biology. This was the only lesson I didn't have with Angela, but I didn't really mind, since everyone else seemed friendly. I walked into the classroom, and noticed my partner wasn't sitting there. It puzzled me a bit, but then I looked at the board and saw we had a new seating plan. Great. Edward is sat next to me.

After a while, he strolled (yes, strolled!) into the classroom, and was about to shout at the person in 'his' seat, when the person pointed to the new seating plan. He walked over to me, seemingly un-affected by having to sit next to me. This might not be so bad.

"Hey nerd. Let's just get this straight, you do the work, I copy you. Deal?" Edward said as soon as he sat down.

"No." I told him. He looked shocked for a bit, before he spoke again.

"No? Did I hear you right?" Edward asked.

"Yep, I will not let you copy my work. You know, you must be incredibly stupid to expect that by insulting someone it will make them do whatever you want them to do." I told him.

"Hey! I'm not stupid!" Edward said, almost shouting.

"Then you can do the work yourself." I told him as the teacher walked into the classroom. He started a lecture, which I lazily took notes on, not really paying attention to what he was saying.

"Now let's get on with the experiment." Mr Banner said while handing each pair a microscope. I quickly looked over my notes and saw that we were identifying and drawing different cell structures. Great.

I got to work setting up the slides, and saw Edward just watching me. I ignored his stares, and continued working.

"You're really smart." He commented after a while.

"Uh…Thanks…why the random niceness?" I asked him.

"Look around." He told me, and I did. I noticed everyone else looked like him, confused. They didn't seem to know how to set up their slides. Then I saw Mr Banner looking at me, and looking quite proud.

"You know how to set up the slides and the microscopes?" Mr Banner asked me.

"Yeah…In my old school we were made to do it all the time…" I said.

"But weren't you too young to use microscopes then?" He asked.

"Well, yeah, but we were made to learn. And sometimes my teacher would give special after school lessons that covered this course. And I was in advanced biology." I told him, and I swear I heard someone whisper nerd. Oh, wait, it was Edward.

"Told you that you were the leader of the nerd club." Edward said, loudly enough for everyone to hear.

And then they all started laughing. At me.

A/N: What do you think of how mean Edward was?

Review please! :D
