Chapter 5

"But that doesn't mean we will uh fall in um love," even saying it was difficult for me. It was such a crazy idea.

"Tsk Tsk...What did I say about betting against me dear Bella," she smiled while shaking her head at me.

This scared me.

I was so relieved when the bell rang letting me know 15 mins. were up and it was time to change classes.

Spanish. My head hurt enough already. And the pain wasn't mostly from bumping heads with Mike as it was from the conversation with Alice.

I walked into Spanish, with my head still spinning. I was the center of attention again for, but with even more interest.

I was the new girl who had managed to end up in the nurses office with a slightly serious injury, not even two hours into the school day. I just kept my head down as I moved to sit in the back of the room next to a quiet girl with glasses. She gave me a friendly smile and introduced herself as Angela Webber, but kept the conversation short. It was a relief to me.

I was excited when the bell rang, to have another class down. Three more classes and then I was home free.

As I started to walk towards my next class, Journalism, I noticed that Angela was walking the same way as me. She must have had the same class.

I was excited for Journalism. Since I want to be a writer it will be nice to have a class dedicated to it. I just hoped it was not filled with the typical students who took it looking for an easy pass.

"Hey Bella, are you interested in writing too?" Angela asked as we entered the classroom. "I know some people only take this class thinking it's going to be an easy A."

I was really starting to like Angela. She really seemed friendly, but she was not nosy and overly curious. To top it all off she seemed to share the same annoyance for slackers in writing.

"Not that you would take this class looking for an easy A-" she started, sounding guilty for possibly insulting me when I had not yet responded.

"No, it's okay. I love to write," I cut her off before she could worry anymore about it and gave her a reassuring smile.

"Oh okay," returning the smile.

With that we took our seats next to each other in the back. Angela explained to me that she was on the school newspaper and that they were always looking for new members. She didn't pressure me into joining, but just left it open as an option for me. It was tempting, but I think I would probably pass. I didn't want to have too many connections to this school.

When the bell rang for lunch I walked with Angela to the cafeteria. She asked me if I wanted to sit with her and her friends as she pointed to a table that was already half filled. It was tempting because I did not know who I was going to sit with, but then I noticed the faces of Jessica, Eric, and Mike at the table. When I saw Mike I politely refused trying not to hurt her feelings. She seemed to notice my refusal at the sighting of Mike and gave me and understanding nod. She waved bye to me and went to join the table.

I sighed as I went into line to buy a lunch. I decided on Pizza, a milk, and an apple. I turned to face the cafeteria and started looking for a seat.

There was a table in the corner that was vacant. I made my way over to it and sat down. I pulled out my Ipod and very beat up copy of Wuthering Heights from my bag. I was listening to "Rewind" by Paramore when someone pulled my earphones out. What the crap?

"This is our table," said a familiar voice.

Then there was a black and white purse, that I would recognize anywhere (since it was thrown in my face this morning), dropped in front of me on the table.

Alice.

"Sorry Alice I'll mov-"

"Don't be stupid Bella. I was only kidding with you."

I looked up to see me four of the most beautiful people standing in front of me. Two I recognized. One of course was Alice. Next to her I noticed Rosalie. I had never seen the two guys that were with them before, but I assumed they must be Emmet and Jasper, their boyfriends.

One of them was tall and very big and muscular. He had short brown curly hair. The other was tall, not as big, but still muscular. He had slightly longer hair that was the same golden blond color of Rosalie's.

"So Bella. You remember Rosalie don't you," not giving me time to answer Alice continued, "This is Emmet my brother," she said pointing to the huge one.

I held out my hand for him to shake, but instead of taking it he picked me up in a big bear hug. "Nice to meet you Bella."

"Uh..nice to meet you too Emmet," I said with labored effort. I couldn't breathe due to his hug. He was still holding me off the ground.

"Hey Em, put her down before you scare her away," Alice told him.

"So Eddie boy can, carry her but I can't."

I shot Alice a look. Of course she told her family what happened.

"Bella they would have found out from someone else anyway. And Em you would have caused her to go to the nurse because she couldn't breathe. Edward was taking her to the nurse," Alice defended herself from Emmet and me.

"Fine," he grumbled as he set me down.

"And this is Jasper, my boyfriend and Rosalie's twin," she said pointing to the blond boy.

"Nice to meet you Bella," he said while extending his hand to me. I took it, gracious it was not another hug.

With that I took my seat again cautiously. Not sure if I wanted to sit here with all these people, but decided Alice wouldn't like it very much if I left.

As if sensing a possible escape, Alice sat next to me to block it. Jasper sat on the other side of her. Emmet sat next to him and Rosalie sat on the other side of Emmet so she was facing me. (the table is round people.)

"So what are you listening to Bella," Jasper asked politely as he pointed to my Ipod, which was still on, next to me.

"Oh I was listening to Paramore and now Debussy is on," I answered as I was turning off my Ipod and putting it back into my bag.

"Oh Paramore! I love them!!" exclaimed the overexcited pixie. "But Debussy? Is that classical?"

"Yea, it's that stuff Edward makes us listen to when we take the Volvo," Emmet answered Alice while wrinkling his nose.

"Oo Edward listens to that. Did you hear that Bella," she asked while giving me a devil like grin.

I simply blushed and looked down, hoping no one noticed. Of course Emmet did.

"Does our little Bella hear have a crush on our dear Eddie boy," asked a very amused Emmet.

"No! God I haven't even formally met the guy yet and everyone thinks I am in love with him!"

I hadn't realized I had shouted it until the tables around our own were staring at me like I was crazy.

Emmet chuckled, "Sorry Bella, didn't realize it was such a touchy subject."

I grumbled as I pulled my Ipod back out of my bag. I was done with conversation. Well this one anyway.

"Speaking of Edward,"I heard Jasper start. I decided to turn down my music to hear what he was about to say. I may not have been in love with this guy, but I was still curious about him.

"What about him," Rosalie asked.

"Where is he?"

"He stayed late in music. You know how he gets when he starts to write a new song," Emmet answered rolling his eyes. "Edward would rather skip meals and sleep, than be away from his piano. I swear it's like he's a vampire." (Could not resist throwing that in there)

"What inspired this latest song," Jasper asked with curiosity.

"I have an idea," Alice spoke softly tilting her head in my direction slightly.

Me? What was with Alice's obsession in thinking that Edward and myself are in love? There is no way someone could compose a song for a person they barely know.

When the bell rang signaling the end of lunch, I got up to throw my trash away. I hadn't even touched my pizza and only took a sip of my milk. I would soon regret that.

As I started to tilt my tray to empty it, stupid Newton ran to make a layout shot using his paper bag as a basketball only to miss and bang right into me. This caused me to fall onto my butt and for my tray with the whole piece of pizza and almost full milk carton to splatter all over me.

"Oh my gosh Bella!! I am so sorry," Mike yelled. He then tried to help me up."

"No Mike!! Please just take 3 giant steps away from me, for my safety and your own," I said trying to stay calm.

"Bella, are you okay," I heard Alice asking me while she helped me up.

"I am fine, but I don't know if I can say the same for Mike if he comes near me again," I said through my teeth.

I took a look around once I was on my feet again. Everyone was looking at me. Of course they were. This only made me more annoyed.

I couldn't help but laugh though when I saw Mike. His face was truly frightened. He had Emmet and Jasper standing over him, with Emmet talking to him very sternly. He was lecturing him about cafeteria safety and running. There looked to be some threats being given at the same time.

"Bella! Are you okay," I heard a very concerned voice ask. I turned to see Joe running towards me.

"Yea. I'm fine. I'm just a complete mess."

"I heard what happened this morning and now this. Bells, you haven't even been here a day, and the school already knows your a magnet for bad luck."

I sighed, "I seemed to be a magnet to Mike Newton."

My brother's face grew serious, "Yea I heard about him. Do you need me to take care of him for you?"

I gave him a light laugh, "Hey wait a minute, I'm the older sister. Shouldn't I be protecting you?"

He smiled, "Bells I'm like a six inches taller than you." Then his face grew serious again, "I met Newton this morning and he's lucky I didn't hurt him right there."

Wait, this is not Joe at all. "Why would you do that? I mean sure he knocked me over, but it was an accident."

"Not for that, I meant for how he was talking. He was saying that he had to get back into your good graces if he was ever going to have a chance at getting with you," he said disgusted. "He obviously wasn't aware that I was your brother. Just the things he was saying. The guys a jerk."

"Oh," was all I could say.

"Yea, and what's worse is that he's on the baseball team, so I will have to deal with him all year," he said calming down. "Well I have to get to class Bells. Try to stay away from Newton."

"Bye Joe."

"Well you can't walk around all day like that," Alice startled me from behind.

She grabbed my arm and dragged me down the hallway to her locker, where she had extra clothes! This girl wasn't kidding when she said she was obsessed with shopping.
Alice picked out a light blue baby doll top.

"I wish I had it in midnight blue he seems to like it on you.." she trailed off.

"Who likes it?"

"Nothing. You look great Bella," she said giving me a smile. "Now you need to get to class."

"Thanks Alice, I owe you one."

"Hmm.. I'll have to remember that. Bye Bells!"

I started to walk toward my AP Biology class. I hope Mr. Banner has some compassion. I was running ten minutes late.

I walked into the class and noticed that a man, I'm assuming Mr. Banner, was sitting as his desk. The other students appeared to be copying down what looked to be rules, off the board.

"Pst Bella," someone whispered to me. Oh for the love all that is holy. I recognized that annoying whisper. I turned my head to see Newton looking at me mouthing and apology at me.
I simply glared.

"Well you must be Isabella Swan," Mr. Banner said getting my attention. I nodded. "Well you are late."

I shot Newton a glare before I turned back to Mr. Banner and mumbled and apology.

"Well I will let it go today since from what I have heard you are new. Now where will you sit," he said glancing around the room. "The only seat open, next to Mr. Cullen. Do you know Edward?"

My jaw dropped. Did I hear him right? Edward Cullen. Alice will get a kick out of this.

Okay don't kill me for ending it here. I know you guys have been excited for more Edward but this chapter was getting too long.

There will be Edward in the next I promise. I will have the next chapter up soon hopefully!

O and FRK921, it mad me sad that it was only 1 class and lunch together, but for my story REMEMBER there's always Calculus.

But anyways..

Please Review!!

Love,

Jane
