My right leg was shaking, like it always does when I'm nervous, while Bella and I were driving to school. I wore a pair of faded blue jeans with paint splotches on them, a light orange tank top and my green hemp vest. My dreads were pulled back into a makeshift pony tail with a few hanging down that escaped from the rubber band. Bella said that I looked normal, but I sure as hell didn't feel like it.

We didn't talk the whole way to school, partly because Bella knew I was nervous, and partly because I was scared that I was going to puke up my meager breakfast.

When we pulled into the parking lot, I noticed Edward's Silver Volvo across from us. Alice, Emmett and Edward were all leaning against it, waving as we pulled in. My hands were shaking while I reached for the handle to get out, but Edward was there to open it for me.

"Thanks, Edward." I whispered, grabbing my canvas bag and getting out of the car.

"No problem," he smiled a crooked smile that made my knees go weak. Everyone chatted for a bit outside when the dark rain clouds decided to let loose the massive rain. With all the chaos going on, I didn't even notice Edward grab my hand before running inside. But as soon as he let go, my heart sank and my hand longed to be held in his once more.

"Let's go get your class schedule, Bailey," Bella recommended and we headed towards the main office. Looking down at the thin piece of paper, I read the list: English 3, Algebra 2, French 3, World History, Biology 3 and Gym.

"Awesome! We have Bio and Gym together," Bella smiled and I was grateful to know at least one person in two classes.

"Everyone here is really friendly, so if you need help to your next class, just ask someone and they'll help you. But if you're like, crying in the corner because you don't know where to go, just text me and I'll leave class to help. But here's you're English. Don't worry, Daniels is really cool," Bella said before giving me a hug and walking to her first class. I loved having Bella as a cousin and I knew we would have a lot of fun together.

I walked in and went to go talk to the teacher, Ms. Daniels, telling her I was the new student and all that jazz. She smiled and welcomed me to Forks and told me to take a seat after everyone got settled in. the small class stared at me in awe while I awkwardly stood in front of them.

"Uh…Hi, my name is Bailey. I'm Bella Swan's cousin and I just moved here from Colorado," I quickly said before taking a seat next to a boy with blonde hair. Ms. Daniels went around and passed out the book we would be reading for the next few weeks, As I Lay Dying, and proceed to give us a brief description of the novel and the themes we would see in it. Before I knew it, the bell rang and everyone shot out of their desks. The blonde boy next to me stuck out his hand.

"Hi, I'm Mike Newton," he said while shaking my hand, "Do you need help getting to your next class?" He smiled at me. Maybe this would be my first friend that I made on my own.

"Sure, it's Algebra 3. Thanks so much. I didn't want to get lost on my first day," I stuck a dread behind my ear and we walked on. Mike kept staring at my hair and asked me all sorts of questions. Apparently, I was the only person in Forks with dreads.

The rest of the day seemed to go by in a blur. I sounded like a parrot by lunch time, repeating the same thing over and over to my new peers. I found Bella, Alice and Edward all sitting at a lunch table and I hurried to join them.

"So, how's your first day of school so far, Bailey?" Edward asked, taking a bite of his apple. His long pale fingers nearly covered the whole thing while the juices ran down his chin. He wiped it off with the back of his hand.

"It's been pretty good. I've had to repeat myself about a dozen times but other than that it's been good. How about you guys?" Right as I asked my question, a busty blonde came up to Edward, placing her hand on his shoulder.

"Hey Eddie Bear, whatcha doing this weekend?" This girl disgusted me. Not only was she being overly flirtatious with Edward but doing it in front of his sister just didn't sit well with me. No one should act that way with my Edward. Wait, did I just call him 'my Edward'? I didn't even know the guy, but it pained me to see him in this situation.

"Actually," Edward started, "I was thinking about showing Bailey around Forks. But if I wanna hang out, I'll be sure to give you a call. Ok Lauren?" My jaw dropped, but I closed my mouth quickly when Lauren glanced at me. I gave a small wave, but she stuck up her nose and walked away.

Then it hit me, I was going to be spending the weekend with Edward Cullen, the most coveted male in the school. And here I was the loner hippie who just fell from the sky. This was going to be interesting.

I snuck glances at Bailey often during lunch. Everything about her intrigued me and I wanted to know more about with each moment that passed. I just hoped that this weekend I would know everything about her. The lunch bell rang and we all got up to go to class. I grabbed Bailey's arm before she walked away. She spun around and her intensely blue green eyes made me lose my breath for a moment.

"Yes, Edward?" I loved the way she said my name, as if it was a modern name rather than an old fashioned one.

"Um…I was wondering if you would like to see Forks this weekend…with me," I tried not to sound like a total loser. But her eyes lit up and she bit her bottom lip.

"I would love to. Just give me a call at Bella's house for times and all that stuff. I'll talk to you later though," She smiled before walking away.

This was going to be a fun weekend.
