Please excuse any grammatical errors I may have made....I really wanted to get this chapter posted. Well, enjoy!!

"Are you sure you are ready to start school?" Charlie asked. I nodded.

A week ago, I was released from the hospital. Everyday since then, Jacob would come over, and we would talk about anything and everything-he was just so sunny and easy to talk to.

Nothing more happened. ..Jacob could tell I was uncomfortable with anything else, even hugging. Maybe with time, I would become more used to the fact that he was my boyfriend. Just…not yet.

I picked up my blue backpack and walked outside to an old, red, rusty truck that was apparently mine. It was loud and pretty slow, but it got me where I wanted to go and I loved it.

"Want me to drive with you to school?" Charlie asked. O Lord, no!

"No thanks, dad. I think I got it."

Charlie sighed. "Kay, baby. See you after school."

I smiled. "Bye, dad."

After quite a bit of driving, I finally found my way to Forks High School.

As soon as I got out of my dear truck, I was greeted by a tall tan guy.

"Hey Bella! How are you feeling?" he asked.

"Good…"

Then he slapped his forehead.

"Duh! I'm so sorry. I'm Tyler Crowley." He said, sticking out his hand. I put my hand in his and he quickly kissed it. Uh, okay?

I chuckled nervously.

"Do you need help finding your classes, or has Edward got that covered seeing as his family's back?" he asked, spitting out Edward's name. Why would Edward be helping me with my classes? And where did his family go?

"Um, no, I haven't seen Edward for a while…Could you tell me where…" I checked my schedule, "AP English is? It says room 206, but I have no idea where that is…" I said sheepishly.

Tyler looked delighted. "No problem, its right by my class, I'll show you where it is…"

While walking through the throng of students, several of them waved to me and said hello. Thankfully, only a few came up to me and asked how I was.

"Bella! Oh my god, are you alright?" a tall guy with pale blue eyes and babyish face asked as he came up to Tyler and me. He enveloped me in a hug too tight for my liking. As soon as he let go, and I was finally able to breathe, I answered him.

"Yeah, I'm fine thanks." I said, trying to cover up my shocked expression with a smile.

Tyler scratched his head. "Mike….she doesn't remember you…" he muttered. Mike slapped his forehead, just as Tyler had done before.

"Of course! Sorry Bella. I'm Mike Newton." He said sticking out his hand. I warily put my hand in his and was relieved when I found that he only shook my hand and did not kiss it.

"Hey Mike." I said.

"Do you need any help finding your classes?" he asked hopefully.

I shook my head. "No, Tyler's got that covered. Thanks though."

Mike looked upset.

"Well, we better get going…don't want to be late on your first day back." Tyler said pushing me along gently with his hand. I waved bye to Mike, which seemed to somehow brighten his mood.

The rest of my classes ended up just about the same, I met several other people, but of all the people that greeted me, there were two that I like the most. Their names were Ben Cheney and Angela Weber—the only ones that I bothered to remember the last names of.

Then lunch came.

As soon as I walked into the cafeteria, I spotted Angela. She waved me over to her table, but before I took another step I heard Mike shout my name.

I turned to his direction, trying to keep a pleasant face. He motioned me over. Quickly mouthing a 'Be right there' to Angela, I walked over to Mike's table.

Tyler, and two girls who did not seem to like me—Jessica and Lauren I believe are their names—were sitting at the table with Mike. The girls looked at me scornfully.

"Hey Bella! Sit with us?" Mike asked, oblivious to the death glares the girls were giving me.

"Oh, um, I'd love to, but I already promised to sit with Angela…maybe later?" not.

Mike's cheerful puppy dog-like face fell. "Well, we could all sit together!" Mike said, his face turning hopeful again. I looked at the small lunch table critically

"It's kinda small…" I began.

Mike looked at the table and sighed. "Okay then…maybe later, I guess."

I smiled and excused myself.

Once I reached Angela's table I sat down with a sigh. Next to me was Ben who was sitting across from Angela who was sitting next to this really pretty pale girl whom I've never met….well, at least I think I've never met her before. She looked at me curiously through golden eyes. Whoa! What? Golden eyes? Was that even possible?!

"What did Mike want?" Ben asked after snatching a french-fry off Angela's plate. She hit him playfully.

"To sit with them."

"Oh, well, if you want to sit with them, it's alright with us. Just, usually, you sit with us…" Angela said, trailing off.

I shook my head. "No, that's quite alright. I want to sit with you guys."

Angela smiled. "Cool…have you met Alice yet?" she asked, gesturing to the pretty girl sitting next to her. I shook my head. The girl let out a sigh.

"Well, then hello. I'm Alice Cullen….your best friend." She said cheerfully.

"Hi!... Are you Dr. Cullen's daughter?" I said, recognizing the Cullen last name.

"Yup, that's me!"

"So…you're Edward's sister?" I asked, trying to be as casual as possible. I saw her stiffen up a little.

"Yes." She said suspiciously. "Why?"

"Um...I was told that he was my, um, ex-boyfriend?" Crap. Why did I bring this up? I had no idea how to get out of this.

She raised her slender eyebrows. Great. What did I get myself into?

" You know, your dad, um, told me to learn everything I possibly can about my past, because anything might trigger my memory, and , um, bring it back. That's the only reason why I was, like, asking." I mentally slapped myself.

Alice laughed. "Its okay, Bella. I know….Well, your relationship with Edward was…is….interesting…."
