The Affair
So what would have happened if Edward had already been dating another girl?
Would Edward's and Bella's love still have prevailed? (Of course there is no stronger love)

Thank you everyone who read my story. I got some very positive reviews and NO negatives!! (yay!)
I was afraid that everyone would hate me for putting in Catherine. Catherine is an essential to this story. Don't worry I have a few things planned for Catherine that will make everyone scream with joy or at least I hope you will.

Friendships
Bella's POV
I walked to the lunchroom with a Angela Weber. She was very nice to me and she was shy, also, so I didn't have to speak much. She took me to her table where I met her other friends. They, unlike Angela, were very talkative. They kept asking me questions about my life. All the questions were making me nervous and I began to blush after Jessica Stanley asked me if I had ever dated anyone. That is when I noticed the most beautiful person I had ever seen in my life. Actually the five most beautiful people I had ever seen in my life.
The most amazing one was the one with the reddish bronze hair. He was now looking around the room, like he was searching for someone. He was sitting next to a girl with short dark hair. She looked like a pixie with her petite figure and graceful movements. Then there was the most beautiful girl that walked the face of the earth sitting by the most muscular guy I had ever seen.
"Angela, who are those people," I pointed with my glance.
"Oh! Those are the Cullens," she answered with an answer that I wanted more details.
"I mean what are their names," I said trying to get as much information on them as possible.
"The dark haired girl is Alice and Jasper, the boy she is sitting by, is her boyfriend. The muscular one is Emmett and that is his girlfriend, Rosalie. The bronze haired boy is Edward," she replied.
"Where's Edward's girl? I mean surely someone who looks like that isn't single," I said hopeful that he was single.
"She's sick, her name is Catherine," Angela told me with a I'm-sorry tone in her voice when she saw my face fall.
It was then that Edward's gaze fell on me and I started to blush. He had whiter skin than I did, which I thought was impossible. I looked away embarrassed that I was staring at someone who looked like that. I put my hair as a wall between us. I stole little glances in his direction, though. Every time I did I saw him looking at me with a strange expression on his face.
Finally it was time to go to Biology. I felt self-conscious when I got up. I walked slowly but even then my embarrassment got the best of me and I tripped. Everyone erupted with laughter. I felt my face blushed bright scarlet. I wanted nothing more than to just run away but I knew I would trip again if I did, so I just walked slowly again and left the room.
When I got to biology I went to Mr. Banner's and gave him my slip.
"Would you please introduce yourself to the class Ms. Swan?" Mr. Banner said to my great displeasure.
"I'm Isabella Swan but please call me Bella," I obeyed Mr. Banner quietly.
Edward's POV
I saw the angel walk into my biology classroom. Her face was still a light pink from her lunchroom fall. Then I heard her voice, it was quiet and comforting, like a lullaby. She introduced herself as Bella, such a beautiful name.
"Please take a seat by Mr. Cullen," Mr. Banner ordered. I perked my head up at the mention of my name. Again Bella's face began to turn colors and she hid her face behind her hair.
I tried to read her mind to see what she thought of me but I couldn't. I tried again but I was not getting even a little whisper. Now I had another reason to love her, she was a puzzle. Then I was suddenly struck with a wave of guilt. What about Cat? Cat would be furious with me for feeling this way about Bella. I had to do something, though. There was no way I would be able to stay away from Bella . Maybe we could just be friends.
Bella sat down beside me and looked at me for just a quick second then looked away. She fanned her hair between us and that beautiful blood perfume grew stronger. I leaned over to talk be the words wouldn't come out. I decided to write her a note.
Hello, I'm Edward Cullen. Welcome to Forks.
I knew the words weren't the ones I wanted to say but that was all I could think of. I looked over to see how she was responding to the note. Bella was now looking at me like I was some sort of crazy person. Then she wrote back.
Hi, I'm Bella Swan. Thanks.
I was hoping to get more of a response but I could see that I was going to have to make the first move. I thought about what would not be crossing the line but still would let me get close to her.
Would you like to sit with us tomorrow?
I thought by using the word 'us' would be more appropriate that just me. I passed her the note light touching her jacket as I pulled back. I hoped with all my heart that she would say yes. Then Bella passed the note back to me.
I don't think your girlfriend would like that very much.
Crap! She already knew about Catherine. I had to convince her to sit with us. I knew Cat would be extremely mad at me but I might could get Alice to say she invited her. Alice would love the chance to piss Cat off.
Talk to me after class. What is your locker number? I'll meet you there.
This was my last chance hopefully she would give me her locker number. If she did then this was the beginning to a beautiful some what difficult friendship. If she didn't then I was destine to admire her from afar. It all deepens on one little number.
