Rosalie's POV

My first week went great with Karen. We spent it watching T.V together, shopping, and sometimes just going for a walk. By the end of the week we had gotten to know each other relatively well and were comfortable with each other.

But something dark lurked at the end of the week. School. The thing I had been dreading for so long. I missed my old school, and the few close friends I had back in Portland. Karen assured me that the high school I would be attending is very nice. She says she volunteered there last year.

I groaned as my alarm clock went off. I hadn't used one of those in a long time. I turned it off and heaved myself out of bed.

I went through my usual morning routine which included getting dressed, doing my hair and makeup, and brushing my teeth. Once I was done I headed downstairs to fix some breakfast. Karen was running around looking for last minute things for work. She was a kindergarten teacher so she would be starting again today as well.

"I made pancakes for you." She shouted from the family room where papers were scattered everywhere.

"Thank you." I called back.

I grabbed the plate off of the counter and retrieved a fork and knife from the drawer. The pancakes were delicious.

"Alright, I have to go now. So you know what time you have to leave. Um, it's only like a 5-ish minute walk so you'll be fine." Karen entered the kitchen again and gave me a quick hug and left.

A few minutes later I was finished so I scrubbed the plate and put it away. I glanced at the clock and debated whether I should get there early, right on time, or late.

I decided on early so I could talk to the secretary and get a map of the school. Once I had my rain jacket on I made the short walk over to the school.

There it was. North Seattle High School. My stomach lurched when the building came into view and I hoped I could keep my breakfast down.

I entered the main doors into the large building. Students were scattered everywhere shouting 'hello's' and 'tell me about your summers'. I scanned the walls looking for anything that looked like an office. I finally spotted it and made my way over to the room.

I opened the door quietly and stepped in. A lady with long straight black hair greeted me when I entered.

"Hello. What can I do for you?"

"Um, I'm new so," I didn't know exactly what to say but she seemed like she understood.

"Alright. Well if you could give me your name I can find you your class schedule, and a map."

"Rosalie Hale."

"Okay, Rosalie. One moment." She began typing on the computer.

"Perfect here you are. Okay, so it looks like you have Chemistry, Gym, Music, and English." She smiled at me and handed me my schedule.

Those classes wouldn't be that bad. I just wasn't so good at chemistry, the rest I could handle.

"Thank you." I told her and went to go out and look at my information.

I found a seat out in the main entry way against a wall. So my first class of the day was chemistry. Great. Okay it was on floor two in room 104 with Mr. Johnson.

Next I had gym. Well that was obviously in the gym on the first floor with Coach Moreno.

After that was lunch.

Next was music. Third floor, room 217, with Mr. Holloway.

My last class of the day was English. Located on the first floor room 85, with Ms. Burke.

I sighed and looked up. The room was more crowded now so I figured I should try and find my first class before the bell rings. The school was really easy to get around in. Every door was labelled clearly with the number and the teacher's name. It took me 5 minutes to find chemistry. The lights were off in the class room and no one was around in the hallway so I slumped to the floor again to wait. I got bored so I pulled out my map and studied it.

"You like to get there early too?" I jumped. I hadn't seen her come over here.

"Sorry to scare you. I'm Alice. Have I seen you before?" The girl was short with spiky black hair that was cropped short. She was very thin, tiny. It surprised me that she was even in the twelfth grade.

"Hi, I'm Rosalie Hale. No, you haven't seen me before. I'm new this year."

"Oh. I was new last year so I know what it's like." She smiled at me sympathetically.

I nodded. She slumped down to the floor next to me.

"Hey, when the class starts do you want to be lab partners?" she asked excitedly.

"Sure." At least I wasn't going to be alone in this class.

"Cool."

Chemistry went by pretty easily. Mr. Johnson was a little bit crabby but I suspected that it was just because it was the first day. Alice wasn't in my gym class, and I didn't meet anyone new. We didn't play any sports today. We just went over rules in class, and what to wear. It was overall a very boring gym class. When lunch arrived my nausea returned. I stared out into the crowded lunch room not entirely sure where to sit. I spotted Alice and she waved me over to where she sat with some of her friends.

"Hey Rosalie!" she greeted me happily with a big smile.

"Hey." I waved back with a tiny smile.

"This is Rosalie everyone." She gestured to me. "Rosalie this is Bella, Jessica, Mike, Eric, and Angela." As she spoke their names they all nodded or waved.

Lunch was un-eventful as well. We chatted about school. Who looked better over the summer? They scoped out the new kids. They talked about peoples new hairstyles. I sat back and smiled and nodded when they spoke. Soon it was time to get back to class and I had music.

I had always loved to sing. It was a secret passion of mine. So I enjoyed music a lot. Again I didn't meet anyone new, but I didn't really mind. I was about to exit the room when Mr. Holloway stopped me.

"Can you come over here a moment," He checked his list to figure out my name. "Rosalie?"

"Yes." I walked over to his desk.

"You can sing. Don't you ever forget that." With that he left the room.

"Okay." I muttered to myself.

I heard a chuckle from behind me and a whirled around to see who was there. The guy that was playing piano was still in the room. He had messy bronze hair styled into a spiky do. His eyes were the brightest green I had ever seen in someone's eyes.

"He's always like that." He told me.

"Oh."

"I'm Edward." He held out his hand for me to shake.

"Rosalie." I grasped his hand and shook it.

"Well, we better get going to our next classes huh?"

I glanced up at the clock on the wall and cursed.

"Shoot." I sprinted from the room down to the first floor and burst into the English room.

Every pair of eyes in the room was on me.

"S-Sorry. Caught up in music." I mumbled.

"No, it's fine dear. You can take your seat and copy the assignment off the board."

"Thank you." I told her, grateful that she was kind.

I turned to face to room. Almost every seat was occupied. There was one in the back amongst the goth kids. Or there was one in the middle beside a regular looking guy. Of course I picked the one with the regular looking guy.

Well, he wasn't really regular. Just compared to the goth kids he was. He was pretty muscular with huge muscles running up his arm. He had dark curly hair and a permanent smile plastered to his face. When I got close enough I could see that his eyes were the most beautiful shade of blue.

I took my seat and read what the board said.

Assignment 1

Partner up

You will need to get to know each other inside and out

Meet after school, sit together at lunch

Write a paper about this person

Go deeper than just favourite colours and foods

Make a video to present to the class

Be creative and go deep!

I sighed and began copying down the note. When I was finished I scanned the room for any of the people I had met at lunch. None of them were in this class.

"Hey." I turned my head to see who was talking to me. It was the guy I was sitting next to.

"Hi." I said weekly, not exactly sure why he was talking to me. He looked like he was a jock or something.

"Wanna be partners?" He asked.

"Um," I didn't know what to say. He intimidated me a little bit.

"I'm Emmett, if that helps." He grinned.

"Rosalie." I told him back.

I scanned the room one more time to make sure that no one else wanted to be this guy's partner.

"I guess I'll be your partner then." I told him when I noticed that everyone else was partnered up. The bell rang then and everyone began to rush out of the room, eager to get home.

"Okay, I will see you at lunch tomorrow." He told me as he got up.

"Okay." I agreed. My stomach twisted again when he left the room. This time it wasn't because I was feeling sick. This time it twisted in anticipation. I had to see him again.

Sorry that, this chapter was a little bit boring, but I have to get through that.

Thank you for reading this story it means so much to me. If you wouldnt mind, I love reading reviews, so tell me what you think.
