A/N: The usual. Disclaimer, etc. I don't own Twilight, yadda yadda. Ok, well here's your chapter.

New Kid on the Block

"I tolerated you for awhile only because you seemed nice and because you were Jess's friend. But I can see you never even gave me that chance, Lauren! You're kicked out of the Pretty Committee, so stick that in your juice box and suck it!"

Chapter 4

Lunch Time Brawls, the New Kid, and Possible Love?

EPOV

I was a little afraid what Lauren had said might've been true, that Bella was a spoiled brat that was full of herself that didn't want to go with me. Now, to me, she was more beautiful than ever! What with her looks and her heart. I felt compelled to protect her when I heard Lauren's next words lash out at Bella.

I waited, tense, for Lauren's response, only vaguely aware that the rest of the cafeteria was watching us after my little outburst. I didn't have to wait long. "Bella, you're a damn spoiled brat who thinks she's all that. You're a bitch and probably a slut too. I hate you! Eff you!" Wow… She stomped out of the cafeteria, only to be followed a few minutes later by Tyler, who now had a crush on her, who knew why.

Now, that everyone figured the chick fight was over, they turned back to their own tables. I saw Alice and the rest of them eye me curiously as I turned to see Edward staring at me, like I was a goddess. It felt kinda good, being stared at like that, but only from certain people, like say, Edward and all my exes.

I decided to be straight forward and stay confident as I said, "Hey, my name is Bella Swan, sorry for that incident back there."

He seemed to snap out of it when he heard my voice.

"Oh, um, hi. Yeah, it's ok. Lauren was really getting annoying." He laughed a bit, then continued. "well, hey Bella, I'm Edward Masen."

"So, hey," I said, "you wanna come sit over at my table with me and my friends?"



"Sure," he responded.

But as he was getting up, all the girls that were still left at Edward's table got up to follow.

"Looks like you have a lot of stalkers," I teased him.

He, like some of the girls, seemed embarrassed. Three of them got up and stalked back to their tables. I laughed at them as they retreated.

Ugh, there's always one that's determined. I turned to the remaining one and said, "Wowwwww, you must be a reeeeeaaaaallllyyyyy desperate stalker to follow him everywhere." She seemed unfazed but walked to another table anyway.

We started walking towards my table, and when we reached the table, I introduced him to everyone. He seemed to know most all of them, especially Rose and Jazz.

"So," I asked, "How do you like Forks so far? What caused you to move here?"

Even after my a-typical conversation-starter, we talked for almost half an hour. I know that's not a long time, but I seemed like I had only talked to him for five minutes at most. As they say, time flies when you're having fun. We could've talked for even longer but right then, the bell rang for the next period, ending lunch.

A/N: You know what comes next! So sorry about the loooong time no update. My sister was hogging my cpu and I never had any time to go on and type the chappie. Ok, so I'll try and give you a really long next chappie. Plus, one more thing, I changed the story a little, I think I'm gonna have Edward be cousins with the Hales instead of Emmett. That would work out a little better I think. What do you guys think? Oh, and anyone got any good quotes? Well, I got to go and type/post the next chap.

Read and Review! Just one click won't hurt you! (: Love you guys.
