Chapter 2: The Girl All The Guys Want

I finally found the main office and received my schedule. I walked into the dismal hallway and headed off to my first class, Calculus. I pretended to listen as the while the teacher droned on about things I had already learned in Phoenix. My mind began to wander and the girl from this morning popped into my head. Her smile was radiant and whatever perfume she was wearing was amazing.

The bell interrupted my thoughts and I raced off to second period. I took my seat just in time to watch the supermodel breeze into the room. She down right next to me and smiled, flashing her white teeth at me. "Hi I'm Bella Cullen" the supermodel greeted me. "Hi, I'm Edward Masen" I responded trying to think of something else to say.

"So I hear you moved from Phoenix, what was it like?" "It was…sunny!" I almost smacked myself in the head for my dumb response. It was sunny; I could do better than that, heck I have done better than that. Bella giggled and directed her attention towards the teacher. Bella wasn't in my third or fourth period class but we had lunch together.

I took a seat at an empty table nearby and pretended to be completely engrossed by my lunch. A shadow fell across the table and I looked up at Bella hovering over me. "Edward come sit with us" she said with a wave of her hand towards he table. The blacked haired girl that she came to school with was sitting there surrounded by a few other people; two of the boys were giving me icy glares. "Edward this is Tyler, Mike, Angela, Ben, and Alice my sister."

I took a seat next to Ben while Bella sat across from next to Tyler. I knew immediately why Tyler and Mike had been glaring at me; they liked Bella and saw me as a threat. I chuckled to myself, and received and odd look from Alice. Bella and Tyler were talking about the latest music while Ben engaged me in a conversation about, what else, cars. When lunch period was over Bella stayed by my side and walked with me to Biology.

Mike Newton followed behind us trying to grab Bella's attention every chance he got. All through Biology I kept stealing glances at Bella as she worked with her partner, Mike of course. Once class was over Bella disappeared into the crowd of people and Mike cornered me before I could run.

"Ok listen up pretty boy, I know you just moved here but let me give you some advice: don't you dare ask Bella out. I have been planning on asking her to the fall dance since the beginning of school. If you do anything to mess that up you will regret it."

I raised my eyebrow and wore my are-you-serious face. I towered over Mike and I smirked at him, "whatever you say Mike." Like Mike Newton could ever carry out a good threat on me. Mike backed off and followed me to gym. We were playing football today and I led my team on to victory.

As I walked outside I saw Bella, Alice, and her two brothers and sister; who's names Bella had mentioned at lunch. They drove away and I spotted Charlie waiting for me. I hoped in the car and we drove home. "So how was school?" Charlie asked trying to acted fatherly. "It was great" I replied enthusiastically. Charlie seemed taken aback by my response but was quiet the rest of the way. We got home and I flew through my homework. Once I was finished I checked my email and responded to the three emails sent by my mom. I closed the screen and began to daydream about Bella.

Bella's POV

Alice kept watching me the whole ride home, preparing to bombard me with questions and answers about the new boy, Edward Mason. Poor Jasper was being driven crazy by the waves of anxiety crashing off of Alice. We pulled into the driveway and Jasper sprang from the car as if it were filled with a deadly poison. Alice grabbed my wrist and hauled me upstairs to my room. I flopped down on my bed and Alice paced the floor.

"Alice I would rather enjoy not having a hole in my floor." Alice chuckled and I started again, "Ok do you mind explaining to me why you practically deafened me this morning when I was with Edward?" Alice froze, "I had a vision." "Of…" "Edward being bitten." Her answer made me jump out of my skin.

I was severely regretting my interaction with him. "Alice did you see who bite him?" Alice shook her head and I buried my face in my pillow in frustration. "We'll have to keep a close eye on him" Alice muttered. The look on Alice's face made me think she knew something else but I didn't press the matter. I was already trying to deal with the fact that the most interesting human I had come across in 50 years had a looming vampire bite hanging over his head, I didn't think I could handle more.
