The cafeteria was buzzing about the new boy. All I know is his name is Edward, and he's Emmett's adoptive brother. Emmett is like the big brother I never had. He's big and strong, but inside he's very gentle. He's dating my cousin Rosalie, their both seniors at Forks High. She lives with me and my Dad Charlie since her parents died a couple years ago.

Me and her aren't that close. For some reason she acts like she doesn't like me, even though we're related. None the less, we get along. I just cant wait to she goes to college. Ima miss her. Sike! She act likes I'm not their most of the time. Whatever. I can't choose my family.

From what Jessica has told me, Edward is gorgeous. He's quiet, doesn't speak very much. He's suppose to sit with us at our table, Emmett invited him.

The whole cafeteria goes quiet when he walks in. He walks to our table with his head down. It seems he doesn't like nor want the attention. Emmett introduces him to everybody. Edward doesn't really make a lot of eye contact. Emmett told me in the morning that I would have Biology with him. I hope he's friendly enough to talk to me. I see Mike Newton at the corner of my eye. I get up to greet him with an awkward hug. "Hey Mike, can I talk to you for a second?" I say. "Yea, I actually wanted to talk to you about something…" he says shyly his baby blue eyes casted down.

We go to an empty table to talk. Me and Mike have been going out for a about 2 months now. At first I really liked him, then it started getting awkward. I noticed that my feelings for him would not go beyond friendship.

"So.. Bella, I think it would be better if we just stay friends…"he says shyly. I smile. Great he feels the same way I do. He gives me a confused look seeing my smile. "Mike, that's exactly how I feel!" I hug him. "Wow, so we can still be friends right? I mean it doesn't have to be awkward at all," he says. "Yeahh, this is the best brake up ever." I tell him. We go back to the table with smiles on our faces. Rosalie gives me a questioning look, and Edward a curious glance. Rosalie suddenly stands up. "Bella can I talk to you for a moment" Me confused, I nod and get up from the table. We go outside into the hallway. "What's up Rose?" I ask her.

"Bella, I over heard the whole conversation. I can't believe you broke up with him. I thought this would work out for you. You are so stupid, I gave you the opportunity and you threw it away."

"What are you talking about? Why were you eavesdropping anyway? Its none of your business!" I almost scream.

" It is my business. I'm the one who set you guys up. And don't you forget that!" she screams.

"If you weren't thick enough, you'd know that the brake up was mutual."

"Your so selfish, always thinking about yourself. I never pegged you to be an ungrateful little bratt. With that attitude you'll never get a boyfriend. You be all alone just like Uncle Charlie."

Her words stuck. It hurt me for her to say that to me an about Charlie. Ever since my mom left him he could never fall in love or meet anyone again. Rosalie seeing that she hurt me, she walk back into the cafeteria satisfied.

I leaned against the wall thinking about her words. I didn't think I'd be alone…I slid down the wall crying. The door opened. Its probably Rose for round two. I looked up to meet a pair of beautiful light green eyes. It was Edward, I was slightly dazzled by his eyes that I didn't understand what he was saying. "I'm sorry what did you say?"

" I said, are you okay?" he said in a very sexy voice, woah.

"I'm fine, why are you out here? Lunch isn't over, you should be bonding with your new classmates or something, not stuck out here with me." He sadly smiled at me.

'I'd rather be out here with you, I don't really know anyone in there" he says while looking back at the cafeteria.

"Well, you don't really know me either.." I say with a smile

"Your name is Bella, you have brown eyes and like chocolate" he said while whipping my tears. We stand up as the bell rings.

" Well, everyone likes chocolate" I say.

"Not me, but I know you do"

"How?"

"Emmett talks about you and Rosalie all the time" he says. At the mention of Rosalie's name I scowl.

"Did you and her have a fight?" Wow he is very attentive.

"Sorta, but I don't want to talk about it, plus we have to get to class or we'll be late for biology.

We walk into the class and sit a the only empty lab table. Throught out the class we make small talk as we work.

"So Edward, tell me about yourself."

"Oh, I'm not that interesting, I'd like to know more about you" He says looking into my eyes.

As I jabber on about myself to him, he looks more and more interested. He makes a concentrating look and then scowls and turns away. I wonder if it was something I said.

"Whats wrong Edward?" I ask him.

"its nothing, you just remind me of someone.." he whispers

The bell rings, and with out a goodbye Edward the mysterious new boy races out of the classroom. I'm so confused, why'd he leave like that. Did I do something wrong? Maybe I'll stop by Emmett's and ask.

I race out the biology room as quick as I can. I need to get away from Bella. I don't want to hurt her. I can't get to close. She reminds me so much of Tanya. No, I can't think like that.

When I saw her cry she looked so hurt and sad. I just wanted to make whatever hurt her go away.

Now that I'm here I cant get carried away. I can't get too close to anyone. I don't want to hurt anyone anymore. I get to my car that Carlisle bought me as a welcome gift. I reach in the glove compartment and take out my prescribed pills. I put two in my hand and stare at them. Breathe, relax Edward.

These pills always make me be something that I'm not. I hate taking them. They make me feel numb. I cant feel anything.

I didn't know at the time. That yesterday was the last day I would ever take those pills.
