I stared at the schedule in my left hand while I checked the map in my right. I circled all the rooms that I would need to be going throughout the day. The secretary had given a similar schedule to my brother who was leaving the office. I took a deep breath and left the office heading towards building 3. I had five minutes to get to homeroom.

I got all the way to building 3 before my feet managed to trip over the only pebble in my path. Lucky for me, there weren't too many people around, so my embarrassment was at a minimum. A blonde girl was coming up behind me as I reached the door. "Are you lost?" she said in a snippy voice.

"No, I think I found where I'm going," I said as confidently as possible.

"Well, then, do you think you could get out of MY way. You're blocking the door." I moved to the side, partially in shock as this rude girl walked by laughing at me. A few seconds later, a smaller girl with pixie-like black hair came up to me.

"Don't mind Jessica. She only cares about two things: boys and herself. And not necessarily in that order. Hi. I'm Alice. And you are?" she said to me with a kind smile.

"Bella, Bella Swan. I'm new, can you tell?" I said while giving her a kind smile back.

"Well Bella Swan, which homeroom are you in? I'll get you there," she took my arm and led me the rest of the way to my homeroom. She told me she would save me a seat in lunch and bounced down the hallway to her homeroom. I took another deep breath and walked into homeroom. My heart dropped when I noticed that Jessica was inside the classroom already. To make matters worse, we were to sit alphabetically which meant I got to sit directly behind Jessica, whose last name was Stanley.

I sat at my seat quietly, examining my schedule and tried to find the quickest and "safest" path to my classes. After a couple minutes, the principal came on over the intercom to give us the day's announcements. When she finished welcoming all of us to a new school year she announced try outs for various clubs and sports teams that hadn't started their practices yet. Within a few minutes the bell was ringing and we were all supposed to go off to our classes. I headed off to building 1 in search of my Spanish class. I found the classroom without much difficulty and was surprised to see that there weren't many students already in the classroom. I quickly took a seat near the windows, about halfway back and hoped that I would finally be able to feel at ease in this new place.

After a few minutes, the bell rang, and I was surprised to see that the classroom had filled up while I had been lost in my thoughts. I looked around the room to see the teacher standing up front, writing quickly on the board in Spanish. Then I started looking around the classroom at the other students. Thankfully, this class was a Jessica-free class. I breathed a sigh of relief until my eyes landed on the boy sitting beside me. My eyes got large as I took in this beautiful sight. He was tall, muscular, and had the most gorgeous bronze hair that seemed too wild to tame. Strands of it were falling in his eyes, and I had to control the urge to reach over and move it.

I'd never noticed boys before and was surprised that I had quickly fallen under this particular boy's spell. I soon realized that I was experiencing my first crush. I knew that at that point I wanted nothing more than to go out with this boy. No other boy would hold my attention like him. I had never even spoken to him, but I knew that he was different from all the other boys.

Class passed quickly and our main task for the day was to choose a "Spanish name" for ourselves. I found out that the beautiful boy sitting beside me was named Edward Masen. He chose the name "Eduardo" which made everyone in the class smile. Apparently, I wasn't the only girl who was under Edward's spell. I looked over the list, and by the time the teacher got to me I chose to keep it simple as well and chose the name "Isabella". I caught Edward looking at me and smiling. I blushed when I saw his smile, but managed a meager smile before hiding behind my hair for the rest of the class.

When the bell rang I walked quickly over to building 2 and found my math class. I didn't realize that there was someone following me until I got inside the classroom and noticed that Edward was right behind me. I stumbled over a desk leg and quickly found myself wrapped in a pair of strong arms. "Looks like we have another class together," Edward said to me with a crooked grin.

"Lucky me. I mean, at least I know someone who will try to keep me from killing myself over math problems." I blushed quickly and took a seat once Edward released me from his arms. I sat down and noticed that Edward was taking the seat beside me. I looked over and smiled at him quickly. He looked back at me and gave me that crooked grin. He turned to talk with another boy in the classroom who had gorgeous blond hair. I turned to my attention to the teacher who was going on and on about the many things we would learn this year. I had no idea why they were putting me in the advanced class. I was never a math person. I sighed heavily as I looked inside the textbook hoping that I would automatically get smarter and all the numbers and letters would make sense.

Soon the bell was ringing, and I was walking through the hallway again. Quickly I found myself surrounded by two boys. Edward was on my left and I was able to see exactly how much taller than me he was. On the other side of me was another boy, the blond boy that Edward was talking to in math before the teacher started droning on and on. "Hi, I'm Jasper, Edward's friend. Edward told me you're new here."

I looked at Edward with a confused expression on my face and turned back to Jasper. "Gee, I was trying to make it a little less obvious that I was new. Here I thought I was doing a pretty good job at it too." Jasper and Edward chuckled lightly at me which caused me to smile as well. "Great, now you two are laughing at me," I said while trying to keep from laughing myself.

"It's okay Bella. I laugh at Edward all the time," Jasper said with a glimmer in his eye.

"Well, I better to get to my music class. I'll see you two later." I heard Edward and Jasper saying good-bye to one another as I walked towards building 4 and the band room. Edward came up beside me and placed an arm around my shoulder. "It looks like the people in charge of scheduling are putting us together a lot. I have music this period too. Can I see your schedule? I want to see exactly how big of a conspiracy this is." I handed over my schedule and watched Edward as his face looked over the piece of paper in his hand. "Well, we have English together and I have study hall with you as well. I guess you'll have to save me a seat or something," he said while handing me back my schedule. We walked into the music room together, talking like old friends. We found two seats together and got ready for our third class together. Music passed quickly without much new information. When the bell rang, I stood up and said good-bye to Edward. I walked to World Cultures and saw that Alice was sitting in the room already. I smiled realizing that I had someone nice to sit beside. Unfortunately, Jessica and a couple of her friend were in this class as well. I sat beside Alice and she turned to smile at me. We talked quietly about how our days were going until the teacher was ready to begin.

I walked over to the gymnasium after Cultures. I hated gym. Between the fact that I am uncoordinated and clumsy beyond anyone I've ever met, gym was never a safe place for me or the people around me. Now, don't get me wrong, I love watching sports with my father, but it just isn't safe for me to participate in the activities myself. The coach began talking about how we would start with a soccer unit, starting tomorrow. I can only hope that I wasn't going to break anything, including bones. The bell rang and I headed over to the cafeteria.

I quickly spotted Alice and another girl sitting together at a table near one corner. I had packed my lunch today, so I walked over and sat beside Alice. "Hi, Bella! This is my friend Rose. Her twin brother and my brother are friends too. They should be joining us for lunch today as well, so you should have plenty of people to remember names for." Alice and Rose both smiled at me.

I began pulling out my lunch when I felt a pair of strong hands grip my shoulders. "Hey squirt. How's your day going?" Emmett laughed as he gave me a bear hug from behind. "It's good Emmett. I've met some nice people. How about you?"

Emmett didn't answer me which was shocking, because he always liked to joke, talk, or make a comment whenever the conversation allowed it. I looked up at Emmett and noticed that he was staring at Rose and Alice, mainly Rose. I looked over to Rose and saw that she was staring back at my brother. "Alice, Rose… This is my big brother Emmett. He's a sophomore here. Can he join us?" I said this last part to Rose, hoping that she would take my lead and invite my brother to sit beside her.

"Oh, sure. Here Emmett. There's an empty seat beside me," said Rose with a smile that would melt any man's heart. Alice leaned over to me and giggled at Rose and Emmett. They looked like they had just fallen in love, which was fine with me. Emmett deserved someone nice to help take care of him.

I turned back to my lunch and was about to take a bite of my sandwich when another pair of hands grabbed my shoulders. "Now look what we have here. My sister had befriended my stalker." I blushed deeply as I recognized Edward's voice immediately. I looked up to see him smiling down at me. "You know Bella, you're actually in Jasper's seat." I gaped at him before scooting to my left a little, allowing Jasper to sit next to Alice. It was plain to see that those two were a couple. I looked up to see Edward taking a place to my left.

"I think you have this backwards, Edward. I think you are stalking me, not the other way around." I smirked at him as he chuckled quietly.

"So how was World Cultures and Gym?" he asked me politely as we began eating our lunches.

"Cultures was fine. Alice and I actually have that class together. I like a lot of social studies classes, so it should be an easy class for me. Gym was, well… let's just say that tomorrow should be interesting to see how many people I injure when we start playing soccer. I'm not the most coordinated person," I told him.

"I remember. Have you tripped over any other desks today?" he said with his crooked grin that made my knees go weak.

"No, I've been good. Luckily my feet seem to be getting the hang of walking better as the day goes on. How about you. Have you caught any other clumsy girls today?"

"Nope, I reserve my life-saving skills for you alone, Senorita Isabella."

"Well gracias, Eduardo."

We laughed and talked throughout the entire lunch period. I had almost forgotten about the people around me until the bell rang. I got up and threw my garbage away and Edward and I walked together towards our English class. I loved reading so I knew that English would be one of my favorite classes this year, especially since Edward was in class with me. Soon, English was over and I was heading toward Science without Edward, who had become a fast friend.

I walked into the science room to find a few familiar faces, including one shy girl named Angela. Her and I sat together and we were quickly joined by Alice who also had this class with me. Science passed pretty quickly and I began walking towards the study hall. I found a seat and made sure to save a seat beside me for Edward. I smiled at the thought of him sitting beside me in a few short moments. Soon a body sat beside me, but I quickly realized it wasn't Edward in the seat.

"Hi, I'm Mike Newton. I have a bunch of classes with you, but you were already surrounded by people, so I haven't gotten to sit beside you yet. How do you like Forks?"

I gaped at him but managed to snap myself out of it when I realized he was waiting for an answer. "I'm fine. And Forks is fine, I guess. You're actually sitting in a friend's seat now. I was saving that for someone else." I hoped he would get the hint and move, but it was obvious that Mike was not going to be moving anytime soon.

"Thanks okay, Bella. The seat on the other side of you is available. I'll just sit there instead," a velvety voice said from behind Mike and me. I looked up to see Edward walking behind me to take the seat on the other side. I was surprised to see him smiling at me. Mike glared at Edward as I turned to give Edward as big of a smile as possible.

Since it was the first day, there wasn't any homework to be working on. I had brought one of my favorite books to read instead and I noticed that Edward had done the same. The ironic part was that he was reading the same book as I was. He apparently noticed the books the same time I did, and he gave me his crooked grin that reached all the way up to his eyes. I returned to my book to take my mind off the boy beside me and soon the bell was ringing to announce the end of the day.

I was walking back to my locker to retrieve my things and saw Alice wave good-bye to me. I reached my bus at about the same time Emmett did, only he was holding Rose's hand as he walked out the school's doors. I smiled at how wonderfully our first day in this new place had gone. I was thankful to have met some really great friends, including Edward. I knew it was ridiculous to think that maybe someday in the future Edward would ask me on a date, especially since he obviously had many more options in that department, but at least he would always be my friend.
