I made my way to the Common room. I had a study first, with Emmett, Jasper and Edward. Which meant I was going to have to speak to him. I wasn't sure I was going to be able to do that.

I sat at the furthest table and pulled out a book.

"What do you think you're doing little one?"

Emmett had his hand on my book and was very close to my ear.

"Alice has us under strict instructions to look after you."

Jasper smiled at me apologetically. I needed looking after?

"I er, was gonna catch up on some stuff?"

"You haven't had a single lesson here and it's the first day of term. There's no need to catch up little one."

Why did he keep calling me little one. I'm not that little and I'm certainly not as little as Alice. Jasper plonked himself in the seat beside me and Emmett took the other side. Where was Edward?

"So Bella what do you want to do?" Oh. There.

"Erm, I don't really.. What did you have in mind?"

Edward placed his hands on my shoulders. He was touching me now. I blushed.

"Oh little one, it's going to be a lot more fun round here if you turn red every time someone touches you."

I felt my face getting even hotter. Edward's hands disappeared from my shoulders and I looked around. One of the rolled up skirt girls had made her way over to him and had taken it upon herself to brush some fluff from the shoulder of his blazer.

"Edward I was wondering .. if you have a study now I've got something that needs taking care of."

She was fluttering her eyelashes and everything. I turned around and stared at the table.

"Actually Jessica I'm kind of busy and I thought I'd made it clear I couldn't help you with your er problem."

"Oh OK, I just thought seeing as how I dealt with your... small... problem maybe you could return the favour."

What? They? Er I don't want to know and I shouldn't be listening. I pretended to check my cell phone, not that I'd have any messages.

"Dude she just called your cock small are you going to let her talk like that?"

"Shutup."

"Seriously you should have said shes got a pongy poon or something."

"Emmett."

I hadn't seen him sit down. He'd been with her, trashy was obviously his type.

"So Bella what do you want to do."

"Yeah now Edward has ditched the tramp its time to entertain the lady."

I couldn't help but laugh. Especially when Edward punched Emmett in the arm and Jasper laughed so hard he fell off his chair. Boys.

They ended up giving me a tour of the school. Emmett took great pride in showing me all the places him and Rosalie had done ... stuff. Jasper showed me the best places to get internet connection and Edward, well he didn't really say anything.

"Shit, Jazz we have to go meet the girls." Emmett and Jasper dashed off in the direction of their respective girlfriends classes.

"I guess that leaves me to show you back to the common room then." He wouldn't look at me

"Er that would be nice. Thank you."

He didn't speak to me on the way back to the common room. In fact he didn't speak to me at all until I got a text message at the end of the day.

"Bella what's wrong." Alice had noticed me stop to look at my phone.

"Charlie just text, he can't pick me up he's been called to the station, do you know where there's a bus stop."

"Does anyone here look like they use buses Little One?"

Emmett had a point. Everyone here looked very well bred, its all in the bone structure. I was the donkey.

"I'll give you a ride Bella."

I turned to look at Edward.

"I passed my test yesterday, my Dad owns a car company, I've been driving around the orchards since I was big enough to reach the pedals."

"Um OK."

I turned to wave at the others. Alice looked like she was about to explode with excitement. I looked back at Edward and he was smiling at me.

"This way."

I followed 2 paces behind him. I didn't want him to think I planned this. He opened the door to the passenger side and motioned for me to get in.

"Normally girls are impressed by my car." Now I really looked like an idiot.

"Um sorry I don't know much about cars. It's very nice." It's very nice, Bella are you a complete idiot.

"I'm messing with you."

"Oh right." Now he was laughing at me? Oh God he looked sexy when he laughed. He did that little thing where his eyes squeezed so much it looked like his eyebrows were eating them.

When he finally controlled himself he switched the radio on and pulled away.

"So Bella where exactly do you live?" Shit. I didn't know the address.

"Ur. um."

"You don't know where you live?"

"I'm sorry I only landed yesterday and Oh God I'll ring Charlie."

He was laughing again. If we were going to be hanging out. He really needed to stop that.

"Bella relax. I know where you live in fact I have to make a delivery there this week. Our fathers are friends."

"Oh." Charlie didn't tell me his friends son was come-in-my-pants hot. I need to stay away from Emmett.

"Do you smoke?"

"Um no."

"Do you mind If I light up?"

"No. It's your car."

He was still laughing when he lit his cigarette.

"So what do you think?" What? He was asking me what I thought of him.

"Well I'm sure you're very nice, but you haven't really spoken to me much today and .. why are you laughing at me again?"

"I meant of England Bella." OH MY GOD. Why did I say that. I stared out of the window for the rest of the journey and pretended not to hear him laughing. When he stopped outside my house I thanked him and got out as quickly as I could.

"Bella." Oh no. He'd rolled down his window, I walked back over to the car.

"I was wondering if you wanted to get a ride with me everyday, I only live round the corner. I could do with the entertainment."

I nodded quickly and made for the house.

"Wait Bella." What now!? I turned around and he was directly in front of me.

"Look I'm sorry have I upset you. I don't mean to laugh at you."

"No it's fine. I mean, I am pretty funny. I'm the odd one out and I mean of course that's funny. I'll see you in the morning. Bye." He grabbed my arm.

"Bella look at me." So I did.

"What do you mean you're the odd one out." Like he didn't know. Everyone else was filthy rich and beautiful. OK so Charlie was making a lot more money over here but he wasn't anywhere near as wealthy as everyone else and I certainly wasn't as pretty as any of the girls at school. I stared at those green eyes and felt myself getting lost.

"Bella you have really pretty eyes." What!? He was dazzling me. I shook myself out of it not before the blushing started. He smiled at me and released my arm.

"See you tomorrow Bella."

I must have stared at the space his car had been for a good 10 minutes when the phone started ringing in the kitchen.

"Hello."

"Bella." Oh. I was supposed to ring Alice when I got home.

"Hi."

"What happened?" She was seriously hyper.

"What do you mean what happened?"

"Oh come on Bella, you rode home with Edward. He's into you Bella. He hasn't looked at another girl all day and he normally pops out for lunch. If you know what I mean."

"Alice I think you've got your hopes up he just laughed at me the whole way home."

"What?"

"Listen I've gotta go cook Charlie's dinner. See you tomorrow Alice."

I flung the phone back at the receiver and bashed my head against the wall. Bella get a grip you're 17 in two days.

"Morning Bella."

"Hi"

"Look I'm sorry about yesterday."

"Sorry for what?"

"Upsetting you."

"Do I look upset Edward?"

"Erm .. no?" I couldn't help but smile. This was going to be a good day I could tell.

We pulled up at school only to find Alice and Jasper waiting.

"Oh no." Alice marched up to me an evil look on her little face.

"Bella Swan next time you hang up on me I swear I'll rip your fucking head off."

"I'm sorry."

Then she grabbed me and hugged me. Little weirdo. It was a good day. Until lunchtime.

I was in the toilets when Jessica and her friend came in.

"Who the fuck do you think you are?"

"Excuse me?"

"Getting lifts with Edward Masen don't you know he's Jess's?"

"I don't think he's actually anyone's property."

I went to dry my hands and she followed me.

"Look you fucking yank bitch! Stay the fuck away from him or I will personally make the next 2 years here a living hell for you."

"I honestly don't know what your talking about girls, but I have lunch waiting for me."

Thats when she grabbed my hair.

"You don't want to be doing that."

Then she pulled.

"I have a slight problem with people pulling my hair." I was wincing now, this really hurt.

"I have a fucking problem with people fucking Edward."

Then I punched her in the face. I don't know what came over me. I punched her and left to eat my lunch.

Alice met me in a fluster outside the toilets.

"Bella are you OK? What have you been doing in there?"

"You'll see."

I had a smirk on my face as I went to sit with my new friends.

"Little one you look like you've just been playing hide the sausage?"

"No Emmett you'll see."

Then Jessica and Lauren left the toilets. Jessica's nose was pouring with blood. My friends looked at me, mouths open.

"Bella did you ..?"

I shrugged my shoulders and carried on eating. Man Emmett was really rubbing off on me.
