A big thank you goes out to xxXKISSXxx, Lisa and Mouth for taking the time to review. It is indeed an Ed/OC.

For those of you that didn't review, thankyou for taking the time to read this fanfic.

Chapter 2

It's strange how you dream of certain scenarios yet when they happen you don't know what to do.

"You'll have to stay here. I guess," Bella mumbled.

Bella Swan, genius.

"It's not like I have a choice!" I scoffed. "What will you tell Charlie?" He was a Police Officer; he wouldn't be fooled by a dodgy excuse.

"Foreign exchange student..." she spoke the words slowly, realising it was not the most feasible answer.

"I guess it has potential, needs packing out a little," I decided I needed to befriend Bella and quickly, without her I wouldn't survive in Forks too long. She nodded and settled on the chair next to her desk, I collapsed on her bed.

"A friend, well, you were an exchange student last year, at my school. We made friends; I told you I was moving out to live with Charlie. You offered to join me to help me blend in," she raised her eyebrows exciting consuming her.

"Ok, it's the best we have," I smiled. "Want to check that closet out once more?" I asked nodding my head in the direction of where I had entered the room.

"Sure," so we tried again, both of us this time, but no success.

So there was three things I was absolutely positive.

First, I was stuck in Forks.

Second, I was stuck in Forks and Twilight was about to begin.

Third, I was stuck in Forks, Twilight was about to begin and I would probably see Edward Cullen tomorrow...

"...so if you climb out the window," Bella's newest idea bought me crashing back from daydream of Forks High School tomorrow.

"What?" I leave this girl for 5 seconds and already there is a scenario in her head that could lead to me breaking a limb.

"You need to suddenly arrive and I'll act surprised, you can't just wonder through the house, Charlie will want to know how you got in," Bella explained as though I was the dumb one.

"This is the second floor," my eyes widened with terror, did she think I was a vampire?

"There's a ledge thing, and then a tree," she moved to the window.

"Ok, well if I die..." I began.

"Shh and go, it's the best we have!" Bella was getting annoyed now.

"The best plan we have involves a possible death, this is brilliant," I muttered sarcastically as I approached the window.

"OK. Fine," she unlatched the window and I climbed out, this window was starting a life of abuse, people always climbing in and out, me then Edward, then Jacob then Riley. Madness.

Eventually my feet settled on the ground. I took a deep breath, what on earth was I doing? How did I get into this place? I stopped my thoughts from spiralling out of control and managed to find my way to the front door. I reached forward and gently knocked on the Swan's residence door. Charlie answered.

"Um hello?" He asked frowning at me.

"I'm Laura Ackleton, it's a pleasure to meet you Mr Swan," I explained politely, "Is Bella home?" Yes. Of course she is. Unless she has raced round to the Cullen's already.

"Um. BELLLLLAAAAAAAAAAA. SOMEONE FOR YOU," Charlie remained at the door. Bella peeped her head round.

"Oh my god!" she screeched, launching into a hug. I responded enthusiastically, would this convince Charlie that we'd known each other months rather than minutes?

"What? You? Here?" Bella began stuttering as we stepped apart.

"I thought I'd surprise you!" I smiled, glancing at Charlie, he looked utterly confused. Bless.

"Charlie, Laura was an exchange student, before down in Phoenix, she's from England, we were inseparable for about 6 months. I e-mailed her telling I was coming to live with you and she just turned up, in Forks!" Bella explained.

"I did, just turn up," I added sarcastically.

"You better come in," Charlie stepped aside and I entered the hallway before following Bella into the living room.

"You'll have to stay here, won't she Charlie?" Bella gushed.

"Um for how long?" He frowned.

"A couple of months?" I asked.

"You want to enrol in Forks High?" Charlie asked.

"Sure," I answered.

"You got your passport for ID so that's sorted," Charlie smiled and stepped back, "I'll sort you girls some snacks, have a catch up," he sounded awkward, not sure what to do. He began to slowly back away towards the safety of the kitchen.

I smiled. "That would be brilliant Mr Swan."

"Um, Charlie, please," he nodded and walked away. Charlie sure didn't hover.

"Passport?" Bella hissed. I delved into my bag; I'd been using it as ID the night before to go out.

"Sorted!"

She grinned, "This is amazing, and now let's talk Twilight."

"I'm not sure if I should," I began. "It might cause some kind of wormhole or something, talking about things before they've happened. Anyway you pretty much read the books whilst you were in my house."

"It just sounds too good to be true," Bella clutched the nearest cushion.

"You'll have to wait and see," I smiled.

The next morning Bella was electric, from the dark circles under her eyes it was also obvious that the excitement had prevented her from getting a full nights sleep. I'd got dark circles under my eyes from a night of worry, what was going to happen to me?

"I've got butterflies," Bella whispered as we entered the cafeteria, "This is crazy!"

"Shhhhh," I hissed, nudging her slightly we both stumbled forwards towards out table.

"Who are they?" Bella asked almost instantly as we sat at the table, she winked in my direction. Seemed she wanted to stick to the story. I watched Edward's eyes flicker over in our direction, he focused on Jessica first, then Bella, then me. Amazingly I was still on my chair and not sprawled across the floor. The books did not do his appearance justice, I was only just copying with his presence. Jessica and Bella began their conversation, my eyes kept refocusing on the end of the room where I knew the Cullen's were sat, like a moth to light, I just couldn't keep my gaze away.

For the fourth time my eyes drifted across to the Cullen's table and Edward's dark eyes focused on mine, that was the final time I looked and I hastily returned my gaze to the table and began to eat. There was one thing I was certain. Bella was one lucky girl.

Read and review please.

In the next chapter things start to divert from the story, if you don't think they have already.
