A.N. Hi all! I know it has been too long since I have updated this story, but I have just had too much on my plate at in the past year to do anything about it. But because the holiday season has gotten me into a spirit of giving, here is a brand new chapter of 'For You In Full Bloom'. Mmm... I love the holidays, I just went on a little vacation and learnt what it is really like to be in a small town (and when I say small I mean between 2ooo and 3ooo people, half an hours drive away while from the nearest town doing nearly 90 mph) and it is just over 3 hours away from the capital (my legs almost went numb!)Oh and that little towns name... Corn! (Well it is actually spelt Quorn but it sounds the same) (this chapter has been rewritten although the A.N.'s are still the same)

Disclaimer: I do not now, nor will I ever own twilight (sigh... that hurts every time)

BPOV

'Oh crap'

Looking back at her from the desk furthest from where she was currently standing was none other than Edward 'the god' Cullen, the first person in Forks to learn of her clumsiness first hand. Gathering up her courage and now signed slip, she slowly made her way to sit next to Edward.

"Hi," Bella mumbled, as she plonked her but down onto the stool and pulled a notepad and pen out of her bag and started jotting down the notes that Mr. Banner was starting to write on the board.

"I'm Jason Swan; I guess I'm going to be your new lab partner."

Glancing to the side, she watched Edward just look at her, before nodding his head slightly, and turning his attention back to the front of the class. Well, that was rude; the least he could do was introduce himself! They were going to be working together in this class for the rest of the school year.

Annoyed with his lack of response, Bella turned slightly towards him, a small blush of annoyance staining her cheeks, and bluntly asked:

"And your name is?"

Peering at her out of the corner of his eye, she received a grunt of, "Edward."

Huffing, she turned her attention back to the front of the class, only to see that three tables in front her sat Jessica Stanley and her friend, Lauren. The longer Bella looked at them the more she noticed them periodically turning around and giggling, whilst looking at either Edward or herself.

'Oh no!'

Bella knew what girl's like that thought about and it was making her blush. Leaning forward in her seat and over her notes, she tried to tune them out and focus her attention to the lesson.

Turning her head to look at the clock above the door, she noticed with some relief, that there was only five minutes left of the lesson.

'Time flies when were mad at lab partners and scared of the thoughts of giggling teenage girls.' She thought sardonically to herself.

Moving what little hair she had left on my head out of her face, she ran her finger's over her scalp and tousled her hair as she scratched. She still couldn't get used to how short her hair now was, but if she decided to grow it out again she would miss scratching her scalp like this... it felt soooo good. Removing her hands from her hair, she glanced back over at 'Mr. Ice Queen' himself and saw that he was already packed and had his bag slung over his shoulder, poised and ready to leave the room as soon a the bell sounded.

Pulling her own bag up from where it rested on the floor, she started shoving her books and pen haphazardly into it as the bell signalling class changeover rang. As she'd suspected, Edward sprung out of his chair as if he was electrocuted and was out the door faster that she had thought humanly possible.

'First he ignores me, then is rude to me and now he runs away from me so fast you'd think I have the Spanish influenza or something! Some people just have no manners. At least I have gym class next so I can blow off some steam. Now I just need to find a free bathroom to change in.'

Lost in thought she exited the classroom at a more appropriate speed.

EPOV

Shuffling out of his last class before lunch, he slowly made his way back towards the cafeteria to meet his siblings. Math class was a complete waste of time. After the initial 'explanation' given by Miss Cole the class erupted into quiet chaos.

'I swear I got hit in the head by five paper balls before the lesson was out. At least it gave me time to think and finish off my homework for the classes I had at the beginning if the day.'

Finishing his homework had only occupied some of his thoughts, though. It was odd, but his thoughts had been revolving around the new kid, Jason, every time his focus wavered.

Jason Swan was nothing out of the ordinary for a place like Forks. His pale skin seemed to belong here instead of Arizona, where everyone was saying he'd come from. Making his way through the cafeteria and food line, grabbing the closest thing to the front, Edward looked over his shoulder to find his family sitting at their usual table. Weaving his way through the tables and plonking himself in between Alice and Emmett, he started picking at the food on the table in front of him.

"Have you met the new boy yet?" asked Alice, before Edward could even get comfortable, while bouncing up and down in her seat like the energizer bunny on crack.

"He bumped into me earlier in the hall, why?"

"I just wanted to know. None of us have met him yet and I wanted to know what he's like. He's Chief Swan's son you know. I heard his mum died so he had to come and live up here with his dad. I can't wait until we're friends; he really needs a new wardrobe. Those baggy clothes are doing absolutely nothing for him."

"You may have a little trouble getting to know him Ali," butted in Emmett, nodding his head to the centre of the lunchroom. "Just look who he's sitting with."

Glancing over to where Emmett had gestured, Edward saw Jason Swan sitting with Mike Newton and his group of clones.

'I swear Mike just wants to drag our name through the mud because our family is better off financially then his. Either that or the fact that ninety percent of girls at Forks High prefer my brothers and I over him, not that I can really blame them. At least we have more brain cells, and are more attractive then a maggot.' Edward thought, uncaring for the slightly vicious thoughts.

"It doesn't look like he's too impressed with them though." commented Jasper, looking away from Alice to check out where Jason was sitting too. "He looks a little green in my opinion, although that could be from the food."

"I'd look green if I had to hang with Newton and his 'possie'," added Emmett, laughing as he started shovelling massive amounts of fries into his open mouth. "I bet he's only sitting there because no one else has had the balls to actually go up to him and introduce themselves."

"Does that include you, Em?" Edward joked with a small smile. He knew how much Emmett hated people doubting the size of his manliness.

"Oh dude, you just wish you have kahonnies the size of mine."

Chuckling lightly, he turned his attention back to his now completely destroyed lunch. Maybe he should catch up with the new kid before the end of the day and introduce himself and apologize for how he'd acted earlier. Jason should probably get to know some guys with an IQ higher than the average squirrel. Alice was right, he was in desperate need of some new clothes, even Edward could see that. Looking down at his watch, he saw that there were only a few minuets left until Biology. Shoving what was left of his lunch in his mouth he stood, the rest of his family following suit behind him, and made his way out of the cafeteria as the bell rang.

Turning back, he yelled out to his siblings, who were heading off in the opposite direction.

"I may be a bit late tonight, I have to talk to coach after gym about the track team."

Not waiting to hear a reply, he quickly made his way to the Bio room and sat down in his usual seat and pulled out all the necessary tools for note taking and started drawing up several pages. Edward only looked up from his page when he heard the stool next to his slide across the floor.

'Great, Stanley has probably decided to come over and flash her boobs at me again.' He thought irritably.

But instead of the nasally laugh he had come to loathe, a soft "hi," came from the now occupied seat.

"I'm Jason Swan; I guess I'm going to be your new lab partner."

Turning his head to reply to him, Edward froze, what he saw left him speechless.

'He looks so... delicate, cute almost.'

Nodding his head once quickly in reply, he looked back to the front of the class.

'What the hell. Why did I think he looked... cute? I mean he's a guy. Guys aren't cute. He just looks so feminine.' Shaking his head a little to get rid of those thoughts, he started writing down the notes that Mr. Banner was now explaining. Glancing at Jason out of the corner of his eye again, he noticed that there was a light blush staining his cheeks.

'Mmm... interesting.'

"And your name is?"

Even his voice was cute...

'What the hell is happening to me?'

Grunting out the answer to his question, Edward shifted in his seat uncomfortably. Why did he feel so nervous talking to him? It's not as if he gay. He'd gone out with girls before. Well, girl… maybe Tanya wasn't the best example of a good relationship, but she was a girl, that was for sure. By the time Carlisle had decided that they should move to Forks, Edward had barely been able to look at her without wanting to either strangle her or throw up in one of her most expensive handbags.

Pulling his thoughts back into the present he stole a glance up at the clock and saw that there was only a few minuets left. Quickly shoving his things into his bag, he slid so that he was sitting on the very edge of the seat, ready to leave the room as soon as the bell sounded. Staring at Jason out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that he was ruffling his hair...

'Hmmm, do I look like that when I do it? No wonder girls look at me like that.'

Shaking himself back to reality, he heard the bell ring and shot out of his chair and bolted out of the room so he could get to the change rooms before everyone else.

Changing quickly, he made his way out to the gym and sat down on the set of bleachers closet to the coaches' office and dragged his hands over his face and shook his head gently from side to side. He didn't know what had gotten into him today. First, he was a total ass to the new kid and then he was having weird thoughts about him. Hearing the gym doors open and close, he pulled his hands away from his face and stood up as his class mated started to fill the gym.

Moving into the centre of the gym floor he started his warm up stretches. Today, they were starting track, and being the captain and fastest member on the track team he thought he was in a pretty good position for today's timing races. Looking around the gym for Coach Clap, he caught a glimpse of the one person he really didn't want to see again today.

A.N. Well there you have it, the next chapter of 'For You In Full Bloom'. Poor poor Edward, but I like making him uncomfortable. So tell me what you guys think and I'll try to post the next chapter as soon as I can.

Thanks,
