A/N: So you've braved the first chapter :). There's going to be a couple of chapters of just basically introducing the characters and just getting the feel of the relationships. However Edward and Bella aren't going to be falling in love and getting married after Chapter Two! Bear with me and it'll be worth it, promise ;D

Reviews would be nice :)

Chapter One: BPOV

Shit, I was late.

Really late.

I dashed out of bed and threw myself at my closet. Shoving on jeans, a hoodie and some chucks I raced across the hall to the bathroom I shared with my mother. I rushed through my morning routine, brushing my hair and cleaning my teeth thoroughly, and I was running out my front door within ten minutes.

It was raining, pretty much a daily occurrence in my home town of Forks Washington but for some reason it annoyed me more than usual this morning.

Pulling my hood up I trudged through the puddles toward my red Chevy truck. Gunning the deafening engine to life I drove as fast as was possible in my truck toward Forks High School.

Pulling up into the school parking lot I realised I was more late than I realised and I had to circle the lot twice looking for a space. I eventually pulled into a space next to a silver Volvo.

Hmm. That's new. New student maybe?

I didn't have much time to dwell as the warning bell rang from the confines of the school, slamming my door closed I ran across the quad toward English.

The rest of the day passed in a blur and before I knew it Jessica Stanley was pulling me along toward the cafeteria.

"OhMyGosh, Bella, have you seen the new boy yet?" Her five foot two frame was basically vibrating in anticipation.

I shook my head, no.

"Well, he's gorgeous. Like beyond gorgeous. Oh my his hair..." I tuned her out as we entered. I wasn't really a fan of Jessica but my mom would worry if I ate lunch alone every day.

At least she used to . . .

I blinked and shook my head to clear it. School was not the place to go down that route.

"Bella? Bella!" Jessica's voice pulled me back to the present.

I looked up at her.

"What do you want?" she questioned. We had made it to the food queue.

I grabbed a bottle of water out of the cooler and held it up to her.

"Is that it?" I nodded and she just shrugged "Whatever, Bella" and I followed her whilst she got her food.

Paying for our meals we went to find somewhere to sit. The cafeteria was almost full and the only two free seats I could see was on a table already occupied by two students I didn't recognise.

"OhMyGosh, that's the new kid. Let's sit with them" Jessica whispered excitedly in my ear. I shrugged and followed her over to the table.
