I own nothing, all belongs to Stephanie Meyer.

IMPORTANT: I have nothing against Jacob, Jared, or Paul. I just couldn't think of anyone else and wanted to keep characters that were in the original story. So just make up different names if it bothers you.


We all went up to get food once we reached the cafeteria. There were several open tables and not many people were here yet. We all sat down at an empty table, when suddenly tons of people started rushing in all at once, talking loudly. At the end of the group was Tyler and Mike, but the others weren't there. The beautiful blonde was with them as well as a short girl with spiky black hair, who was also gorgeous. They all went up to get food and then the short one started heading towards our table. She looked like she was hyped up on crack.

"Bella, this is Alice," Jessica introduced her. Before I could even blink, she had pulled me into a tight hug.

"Hi!" she chirped in a high pitched voice.

"Um, hi," I said uncertainly. She was so energetic, but she seemed sweet.

"So what was going on that's got everyone so excited?" Lauren asked, rudely.

"Oh! There was a fight," Alice said, excitedly, "Jasper got super pissed at Jacob. He's on the football team with him," she said, looking at me, "Anyways, apparently, he was talking about
some girls and it set Jasper off. You should have seen it! Jared and Paul jumped in to help Jacob 'cause he was getting his ass kicked. Then Emmett, Edward, and Ben saw what was

going on and jumped in to help out Jasper, though he didn't really need it. It got pretty bad, I don't know what would have happened if the coach hadn't stepped in and stopped them,"
she explained. Lauren and Jessica had their jaws on the floor and Angela looked worried. Alice's eyes were wide in shock. I didn't really know what to think. It had looked like Jasper could definitely hold his own, but I didn't know who Jacob was.

"Are they all on the football team?" I asked no one in particular.

"Yep, all of the ones in the fight and Tyler and Mike," Angela answered.

"Does this happen a lot?"

"Well, none of them like each other, but they usually keep to themselves for fear of getting kicked off the team if they did fight. Whatever he said must have really struck a nerve with Jasper, but no one really knows what he was talking about," Alice explained.

"Who are Emmett and Edward?" I asked, curiously.

"You haven't heard about them yet," I shook my head, "They are both totally gorgeous and single, but don't like committed relationships. They're more the hit and run type and most girls don't mind. They feel lucky to have gotten the chance."

"We've both gotten that chance by the way," Lauren stated proudly, pointing to Jessica, as if I would care. I couldn't hold back a giggle at that.

"Well good for you, I guess," I said, somewhat awkwardly. I didn't really know how to reply to that one. Lauren started to glare at me when Alice and Angela started giggling quietly behind their hands. The bell rang then and we all threw away our trash and headed to our next classes. I had biology, which Angela had with me, so we walked together while the others went their separate ways.

Ben was headed down the hallway opposite us on the way to biology. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Angela starting to blush and narrowed my eyes at her suspiciously. She widened her eyes, trying to look innocent.

"What?" she asked, shrugging her shoulders.

"Ooooh, you like him, don't you?" I said, like the first grader I was. She just blushed harder, "No," she scoffed, "I don't really know him and he's super short anyway."

"He's not super short, you're abnormally tall, and I think you should talk to him. After all, how are you going to get to know him if you don't?" I asked, reasonably. She just shrugged her shoulders again as we walked into class. There was one lab table where no one was sitting that the teacher told me to sit at. I was sitting there staring into space, when Mike came up,

"Hey Bella, whatcha doing?" he asked.

"Oh, I don't know, Mike. What's it look like I'm doing?" I said sarcastically.

"Um, nothing," he replied, uncertainly.

"Then that's probably gonna be your answer," I said as the chair next to me was pulled out. I looked over to see the gorgeous guy with the copper hair smiling at me. I grinned back at the beautifulness sat next to me.

"So Bella, you want to go out this weekend?" the twit asked me on the same day he met me. The grin quickly fell off my face as I turned to look at him. Just as I opened my mouth to spout off some stupid excuse, the bell rang.

"Oh, look at that, Mike. Might want to go to your seat now, wouldn't want to get in trouble with the scary teacher man, now would we?" the guy next to me answered before I had to. Mike immediately made his way to his seat, looking defeated. The guy then turned to me with a beautiful crooked smile on his face, "I'm Edward," he stuck his hand out. I grasped it in my tiny one,

"I'm Bella," I smiled back.

"Wait, weren't you in the fight?" I asked, confused, as he nodded, "Shouldn't you get suspended or something for fighting?"

"Nah, coach talked the principal out of it, can't have the star players suspended for the first big game. We got a week's detention instead, so we get "punished", but can still go to practices." He didn't look like he had just been in a fight, didn't have a scratch.

"Did they get a hit on you at all?"

He scoffed, "Those guys are wusses, hit like girls and didn't really put up much of a fight. I don't have a scratch. Jasper got the worst of it. So I hear you don't like Mike much, huh?" he asked.

"Oh, is it that obvious? He bugs the crap outta me, and I've only had to deal with him for one day!" I exclaimed, incredulously. Edward just laughed at me, while I glared at him.

"I don't find this very funny," I said. "It's pretty funny, especially the look on your beautiful face," he said, smiling, causing me to blush like a freakin tomato.

"That's cute, you know," he stated.

"What is?" I asked.

"That blush, it's cute. I like it," he said, brushing the back of his fingers down my still blushing cheek, his grin widening when it only caused me to blush even more. Then the teacher started his lecture about who knows what, I certainly couldn't concentrate.

After Mr. Marshall was done, we still had about five minutes of class.

"So, what do you have next hour?" Edward asked with his stunning green eyes focused on mine.

"Um, French," I answered.

"I have English, but I can walk you there. It's close to the French building," he offered, smiling that crooked smile.

"Yeah, that'd be great," I said as the bell rang and we gathered up our stuff to head to the next class of the day. I was insanely glad that it was already more than half over.
