Thank you again for all the reviews and alerts for this story. Im so sorry for not updating in a while but ive had a whole bunch of things happening in my life right now.

So this is the chapter we've been waiting for, biology!

here we go then… Read, Review and Enjoy

Bella POV

Angela was dragging me towards the school building. I let her until she laughed and rolled her eyes letting me go.

'okay so your first lesson is trig with Jessica, you follow the corridor, turn right and it's the 3rd door along. meet me outside at the bench afterwards.' she waved goodbye and sped off in the opposite direction.

Angela was so nice; I had a feeling that she was going to become a great friend. I followed her instructions and found the classroom. When I walked in everyone was already sitting down, so much for me blending in. I quickly got the note out of my bag and gave it to the teacher, his name was Mr. Fair. He signed my slip and I walked to an empty seat. when I was about to sit down, Jessica whispered my name and signalled for me to go and sit by her. I walked over and got a whole bunch stares from the class. the other person I was sitting next to was a boy with brown curly hair.

'so hows it been so far?' she asked me once everyone started talking.

'its been okay actually, I just wish everyone would stop staring' she chuckled and I started on the trig questions.

'well you'll be getting those stares for a while, i mean first of all your new and all the boys seem to think your hot' she laughed at my shocked expression.

'no they don't jess, they probably think im a freak or something' she laughed again and assured me that they did think I was hot, just as I was going to correct her the boy next to me tapped me on the shoulder and I turned to face him.

'hey im jasper' he held out a hand and I shook it, was a boy really introducing himself to me?

'hey im bella' I said to him going to turn my head away to a grinning Jessica.

'and for what its worth, I think your hot' and he turned away, back to his work.

'umm thanks' I muttered to him as jess looked at me with an 'i told you so' look on her face.

'well jess, I guess one person agrees with you' and we laughed together.

the rest of the lesson was spent with jess talking about mike, she had now told me herself that she liked him, but that she thought he liked me. I was trying to assure her that he didn't.

'jess he doesn't like me, honestly. I only just came here today and he cant have liked me that quick. I have seen the way he looks at you jess.' I said that to get her to shut up. I mean I liked jess, but she did get annoying when all she talked about was herself for most of the lesson.

thankfully about five minutes later, the bell rang. the whole class rose up and sped out, ready for break-time.

'jess, im going to meet Angela outside if you want to come?' i didn't know if she already knew that Angela was going to be there, or if it was an everyday thing, but she seemed to have other plans.

'no I cant, but ill see you at lunch' she hugged me swiftly before running down the stairs and down a corridor. I shook my head and laughed at her madness. jess really was something.

I went back the way I came and walked across the lot. I bumped into loads of people along they way, got some glares, some wolf whistles and mostly just stares. thankfully I spotted Angela at the bench. I walked over and sat beside her. she looked up and smiled at me when I sat down.

'so how was trig?' she asked me with a smile.

'it was. Interesting' I couldn't use any other word, jess was crazy and the whole thing with jasper was just hilarious to me.

'that bad huh? she giggled and rolled her eyes.

'no it wasn't bad I just found it funny. first of all jess is mad, but she's lovely at the same time, and then this boy called jasper said I was hot after me and jess were arguing about it.' I laughed at the memory.

'well they're right, in this school, your classed as a grade a hottie' she chuckled. I honestly didn't know what they were talking about.

'bella, you have the perfect body, nice clothes, gorgeous hair and a beautiful face, what isn't hot about all of that?' I gaped at her. Is that how other people really thought of me. I was just plain jane.

'well, I guess that's a compliment then' I said to her. I was meant to be a comment but it came out more like a question.

'yes it is' she said to me closing her books and putting them in her bag.

'so what have you got next?' she asked me.

I looked at the time-table and I had biology. today I had all double periods but tomorrow I had some other lessons as well.

'I have biology' I told her.

'oh yes, you're in the advanced class aren't you?' I looked again.

'yeah I am' she smiled and pulled me up off the bench.

'good because so am I, and so is mike' I was glad she was in my class, at least I would know one person in there.

'the only problem is I have a lab partner already, we've already been paired, but don't worry, you wont be on your own, there's someone without a partner anyway' she winked at me, at least I wouldn't be on my own in there then.

'is the person nice?' she looked apologetic, I guessed that they weren't then.

'I honestly don't know who it is that doesn't have the partner, im sorry' there was still a chance that the person was nice then. I hoped it was a girl, they were so much easier to talk to.

'oh no its okay Angela, im sure they are' I winked at her. the bell went but jess and Mike came over and we talked for a couple of minutes while the crowd died down. it was best to wait till everyone had gone in already, according to Angela.

'come on then guys lets get to class, or we will be late' we waved goodbye to Jess and walked towards the door. I followed mike and Angela into the building and to the classroom as I didn't know the way.

'so bella, you're from Arizona right?' mike asked me, great so here came the questions then.

'yeah I am' I hated talking about Arizona, I had so many bad memories from there. I prayed he didn't ask me about my mom.

'aren't people from Arizona meant to be, like really tanned?' he asked me, blushing slightly.

'Yeah, I guess that's why they kicked me out' if I was going to make friends here, then I may as well go all the way.

Mike started to laugh, as did Angela who had been silent since we left jess.

'That's a good one bella' he winked at me and stopped outside the classroom stepping in. me and Angela followed.

everyone was already seated, great second subject of the day and I had already drawn as much attention to myself as possible, but I guess it was worth it because I had made some really nice friends today.

I looked around for the teacher but he wasn't here yet, as soon as people stopped staring they all went back to their conversations. the noise in the room was loud with all the chatter, but I didn't care.

the teacher walked in then. his name was . He held a hand up at me, as if to tell me to wait for a second then he tuned to the front of the class.

'okay everyone, five minutes of talking and then we need to get to work people' he turned back to me as the chatter arose again. I hadn't even bothered to look for the empty seat yet, I guessed could have other plans for me.

'hi, , im bella swan, could you sign this slip for me?' I asked him as politely as I could, without sounding like a teachers pet.

'yeah of course. you're the chiefs daughter right?' guess everyone already knew who I was here, but what do you expect from a town this small.

'yeah I am' I smiled at him and he handed me the slip and I put it back into my bag.

'well bella, youre going to do just fine here, you'll be sitting next to over there' he gestured to a desk at the front of the classroom.

there sat the most beautiful boy I had ever seen in my life. He had a creamy complexion, gorgeous brown red hair that was a yummy mess on the top of his head, he looked up at me and he had shinning emerald green eyes. it felt like they were piercing right into my soul. he smiled but kept contact eye contact with me. I just stared at him and forced a smile back, I probably looked like a right idiot they way I was just standing there. it was that snapped me out of my daydream.

'bella, you okay?' he asked, laughing a little at my shocked expression.

'yeah, I am, I was just admiring your displays of the human brain, very accurate.' I quickly came up with a excuse to get me off the hook for staring at the greek-god.

'well go on then, go sit down' he smiled and pushed me forward slightly before chuckling to himself and walking off to himself, rustling a few papers on his desk.

I walked over at a normal pace avoiding eye contact so I wouldn't embarrass myself again. I slung my bag on the floor and pulled out the chair next to his, I didn't even know his name yet.

I smiled at him and turned to face the front.

'hi, im edward Cullen' his words shocked me, his voice was like an angels from heaven, it was like he was some kind of patron saint sent to drive me crazy. I blinked a few times and saw his outstretched hand. I shook it but I wasn't expecting what happened. when we touched, it was like a strong current of electricity was running between us, back and forth. his eyes widened so I was guessing he felt it too, but I couldn't be sure. I pulled my hand away and dropped it to the desk. he ran his threw his bronze hair and then placed it on his thigh.

'hey im bella swan' he smiled at me, I couldn't get over how gorgeous he was. I never usually felt like this before. I mean, ive seen many hot boys in my life before, even beautiful ones, but there was something different about edward, it was foreign to me and I didn't know what to make of it.

'so you're from Arizona right?' he asked me, getting out his books from his bag.

'yeah, have you been here long?' I asked him, I guessed he was probably born here, but you never know.

'well, just a couple of years, I was born in new york, then I lived in Alaska for a while and then we came here.' he looked distant, like he was deep in thought, just when I was about to break the silence, mike came over to the desk.

'erm bella, could I ask you something?' he looked uncomfortable, and kept chancing sideways glances at edward, who seemed to be deeply engaged in one of the biology books.

'yeah, whats up?' I thought he just wanted a pen or something.

'Ermm. Do you wanna g-go out some time?' he asked, his voice shaking slightly.

what, did he just ask me out? I had never been with anyone before. I certainly didn't want to go out with mike, he wasn't at all my type and anyway, I knew jess liked him, it wouldn't be fair to her.

'erm im sorry mike, but im not really looking for a relationship now, and I only just got here today, I don't really know you, but I know Jessica likes you, go ask her out or something' I smiled a genuine smile, I hated to humiliate him like that, especially in front of another boy.

'okay t-thanks' he stuttered before walking away. I got my books out of my bag and looked to edward, who was about to say something when came over.

'so bella I heard you were top of the class in your old school, and in the highest possible class aswell.' great what a way to embarrass me and make me look like a nerd all in one go.

'erm yeah' I said blushing deeply. dammit, my blush always gave me away. pretended not to notice and carried on.

'well, it's a good thing you and cullen are partners, hes top of the class too' the last part sounded like it wasn't ment to be said out loud.

he smiled a sheepish smile and turned away, and I swore he just said, 'great another know it all, just like cullen' I chuckled to myself a little and turned to a grinning edward.

'what?' I shot at him a little rudely. not that I was bothered about manners right now.

'your impressive, best student in the school and you really know how to let a guy down gently. the whole, another girl likes you thing' he winked at me and I was taken aback.

'well from what Ive heard, you're a little nerd yourself, but im guessing your on the football team or something?' I guessed he was one of the popular kids in the school, with all the respect and the blond, slutty girlfriend.

'well yes, im on the football and basket ball team, but I don't know, just get this stuff' he smiled at me and it took my breath away.

'cool' I replied looking down.

'so how come you moved from Arizona?' oh no, I had prayed the questions wouldn't come, this was a disaster.

'erm my mom got re-married so I decided to come and live with my dad for a while' I looked down hoping the conversation was at an end.

'so you didn't like the guy?' that was the understatement of the century. I had to get him to stop talking too me.

'look, why do you care, I don't even know you!' I meant the expression, saved by the bell literally. I got up and ran out of the classroom, tears streaming down from my eyes. I was going to go to the cafeteria for lunch, but I resorted to sitting in my car in the parking lot, until I calmed down. why did this greek god have to ruin everything?

Ok so absolutely nothing has been changed to this chapter except for the spelling and grammar mistakes, but again, not much, if anything, will change until about the 8th or 9th chapter, that's just the way I want it, hope you enjoy this chapter,
