Break was strange; I didn't know what to say or who to stand with. Jessica and Angela were standing with Eric and Mike, next to the car park.

"Check out that hunk of junk!" Eric said, kicking the tyre to my truck.

"How old you think it is Eric?" Mike asked him, checking around the red truck, of which I loved.

I casually strolled over, and when I reached them I greeted them.

"Hey guys." I waved.

Mike turned around suddenly, hitting his head off the door of my truck.

He rubbed the back of his head repetitively.

"Hi Bella!" He enthused.

"Did you hurt your head on my truck?" I asked him, to make him panic about what him and Eric were just saying to diss my truck.

"Wh… did you say your truck?" Eric gasped.

"Yeah, it is and it isn't a hunk of junk either." I defended.

"Yeah, I was talking about that one over there." Eric made up.

"Ok then Eric." I said, blanking him out now.

"Oh, you've blown any chance that you had with her out of the window now Eric!" Mike whispered loud enough for me to hear.

It should make me mad that someone was talking about me like that, but I felt kind of attracted to Mike at the moment.

"So, have you guys seen that new film?" I asked, more or less directing it towards Mike.

"No, but it looks great." Mike answered, catching on to what I was thinking.

"Yeah, but it wasn't actually that good, me and Angela went to see it last weekend, and its just about guys who get blown up and stuff. It's not really very good. And the ending is a disappointment." Jessica reviewed.

"Oh. Well, I haven't seen it yet, does anyone want to go on Friday night with me?" I asked everybody but giving Mike more eye contact. He caught eyes with me, and his blue irises shone right through me.

"Sure! I'll go with you Bella!" Eric cheered.

I sighed inside. Damn, I wanted Mike to come, not Eric!

"Great." I enthused. "Anyone else?" I asked, aiming exactly to Mike now.

"Yeah, I'll come to. Sounds like a good film. Shall I pick you guys up?" He asked.

"Yeah, that'd be great. I know that some people don't really want to be seen in my hunk of junk." I spoke to Eric and he cowered a bit like a puppy getting a scolding.

"Sorry Bella." He apologized.

"Its ok. Mike, come to mine at about seven o'clock then on Friday night ok?" I asked him, walking past, flicking my hair slightly.

"Yeah, I'll get you then." He flirted back.

"Great. See you later guys." I waved.

"Where are you going? Bell isn't for another ten minutes." Jessica said.

"I'm just going to the office to get my timetable again, I kind of lost it." I said stupidly.

"Oh, you're one of those people!" Angela laughed.

"Yeah, kind of. Bye guys. See you in games." I grunted inside. I couldn't be bothered with another period of fitness.

I walked to the girl's toilets to get ready for my next class. I put on some more mascara, and foundation, when I looked to the side and saw Rosalie and Alice standing and staring at me. Rosalie looked parched, and ready to screw my head off.

"Sorry about before." I apologized from afar.

"Oh, its fine, don't worry about it. She has a short fuse." Alice said to rescue Rosalie.

"Just watch out where you walk." Rosalie moaned under her breath towards me, and her voice was so thrilling that I got Goosebumps. Alice's voice was so high and sweet that it reminded me of an angel singing Pie Jesu for some strange reason.

"Ok, I'm sorry and I have said that I was sorry, so please just forget about it and back off." I spoke, not looking her once in the eye.

She huffed and walked out of the room. Alice laughed at her reaction and looked up at me.

She was so beautiful it made me want to cry.

"Hi, I'm Alice!" She cheered towards me, holding out her hand for a handshake. I gripped onto it to shake it when the coldness of her hand on mine set in. My hand was trembling in her grasp, and she was holding on so strongly without one sign of effort in her face.

"Ow." I complained.

She realized my hand was turning whiter than my natural skin colour and released it instantly.

"Oh shoot, I am so sorry Bella." She apologized.

"It's ok." I rubbed my hand with the other one.

"It's just the winter air clings on my skin." She didn't look at me in the eye.

"Its fine, don't worry about it." I laughed it off.

"Ok, well I'll see you around Bella, bye." She pepped, walking away out of the bathroom door.

The next two periods passed by too quickly and eventually the tedious bell rung again for lunch. Jessica was in my last class before lunch so she grabbed hold of my hand and led me to the cafeteria to a hall full of rounded tables and chairs. It was tiny compared to my old school.

Mike saw me and pulled my chair out, to which I felt flattered by. I sat down and he pushed me in.

"Welcome to the lunch of Forks high school!" He greeted in a very cheesy manner.

I looked down, hiding a smile.

"Bells, I'm going to the line, do you want anything?" Jessica asked me. I haven't been called Bells since the last time I was with my Dad, only he ever called me Bells.

"Sure Jessica, can I get a salad or something that doesn't involve meat. I'm a vegetarian." I announced. Nearly everyone in that whole cafeteria gasped when I spoke those words.

"You're a vegetarian?" Jessica asked me through a whisper.

"Yeah, what is it?" I asked, beginning to become embarrassed by all the eyes staring in my direction now.

"No one in Forks High School has ever ordered vegetarianly!" She complained in a state the obvious manner.

"Oh."

Jessica laughed on the way up to the line and decided to start chatting to Angela who was also waiting in the line.

Mike reached over very sneakily, and whispered something in my ear.

"What?" I didn't hear him.

"I think it's hot for a girl to not eat meat." He whispered again.

"Oh." I giggled, which was something I didn't take pride in doing.

He smiled and moved back to where his original seating position was. Eric was passing him the evils as he did this.

"So Bella, do you have a date to the prom yet?" Eric asked trying to get in there.

"Yeah, I already asked her Eric." Mike told him. I was slightly gob smacked, but then I was pretty chuffed.

"But we only found out when prom was this morning!" Eric defended. I felt bad for him.

"Yeah, but I asked her anyway."

"Bella?" Eric tried one last time. I didn't know what to do. I could either go to the prom with Mike or Eric, or I didn't have to go at all.

"Yeah, sorry guys, I can't go anyway. I forgot I had something that weekend anyway." I unwillingly claimed.

"What?" The both asked me synchronised. I didn't expect them to pry so I had nothing planned in my head to make up.

Nothing was coming and by now everyone was staring at me for an answer.

As if God was happy for some reason, Jessica clambered into the side picture with my food and hers.

"Thanks Jessica!" I nearly shouted.

"No problem, you should have seen the dinner lady's face when I asked for the vegetarian option! I'm surprised that they actually made some!" She laughed.

"Yeah, anyway I got to go." Mike said as if he was distracted by something.

He picked up his tray of left over food and binned it coming back for his bag.

On his way back out of the hall, he whispered in my ear again.

"I'm not going to give up." He said adamantly.

I smiled and Eric excused himself as well. He ran after Mike and then we heard a big bang.

I jumped to my feet. Angela looked very curious when everyone in the hall began to flow steadily out of the cafeteria and out to where they just disappeared and sounded. When we began to hear cheering, we bounced out our seats and ran to the door to where a massive crowd of people were and in the middle were the mixed up shapes of Mike and Eric fighting each other, punching and kicking in every direction!

I heaved myself forward to get a better close up.

"Bella's mine! This happened last year with Angela!" Eric shouted.

"Too bad! She prefers me anyway! No wonder, look at you Eric!" He shouted back.

I pushed my way to the front. I was going to make a show of myself, but I didn't care.

There were more curse words being thrown around the two.

"Mike!" I shrieked.

"In a minute Bella!"

"Stop it!" I screamed and threw myself into the fight. I got punched several times in the face and kicked in the wrong place for a girl to be kicked before they realized that I was the one getting the blast. They stopped fighting and stood up, holding me up from the ground.

I was honestly quite shocked that any of this was happening to me on my first day.

Two boys were literally fighting over me, I made an enemy and now I was beaten up!

I kept my bruised eyes open slightly.

"Well done you assholes!" I shrieked, and ran away from the fight towards Jessica and Angela, who then followed me into the bathrooms.

I breathed deeply in and out.

"Great! This is just great you know?" I shouted looking away from them.

"Bella, it's not that bad. Not everyone saw what just happened." Angela tried to cover up.

"Yeah, but they would soon! Did you see all those video phones recording it?" I threw back at her.

Angela looked shocked at me now and backed off a few steps.

I closed my eyes and tried to calm down.

"Sorry Angela, I didn't mean that!" I apologized.

"It's ok. Don't worry about it." She assured me.

"And do you know what is even worse?" I asked them. They both looked at me blankly and shook their heads.

"I have games next period!" I moaned.

"I have it too! We can suffer it together!" Jessica said, patting my shoulder.

"I have maths, so I don't have games." Angela said.

"Lucky you!" I complained.

The bell went and when I came out of the bathroom, Mike and Eric were standing there, waiting for me to come out.

Jessica threw herself in front of me, like a bodyguard.

"Get lost guys!" She shouted at them. They looked at me and I looked away instantly, getting led by Jessica's hand. I could feel my eyes getting more and more bruised every second.

I got changed and decided to go the small toilet cubicle.

I locked the door.

I heard the door of the changing room open and close. I also heard the pop tart whispering about something.

I came out and nobody was there anymore, I packed away my school clothes in my bag and walked towards the door and pulled on the handle. But the door wouldn't open. I began to pull at it harder and harder to get it open and to get out, but it was no use, the door was locked. I began to knock on the door.

"Is anyone there?" I shouted, ready to smash the door in from being so mad.

"Yeah, I am!" Hannah the pop tart shouted back, giggling stupidly.

"Hannah, please open the door. I get claustrophobic!" I complained feeling the already tiny changing room getting smaller and smaller.

"You know, I don't think I will." She threatened. I closed my eyes and began to slide down the door, trying to stay calm.

"Please Hannah." I began to hyperventilate. The feeling of the walls creeping closer and closer to me was beginning to give me the feeling of being cramped in a box.

"Bye Isabella." She annoyed me so much that I wanted to pull out those stupid peroxide blonde locks that looked like they could come out with a brush.

I kept my eyes closed, but I really began to panic.

It looked like the walls were about to collapse on top of me.

"Help!" I yelled again. I stood up, gaining my sense back and banged hard on the door, which I was surprised that it didn't collapse! I was so scared of being in this small a room.

"Jessica!" I yelled.

Tears were now streaming down my face from panic. "Please open the door." I said very feebly and exhausted now. It was a shock that 60 minutes could last this long.

I heard some heavy footsteps outside the door.

"Is anyone there? I'm locked in." I asked, through sobs.

"Who is it?" They asked back. It was a boy, with a low velvety voice that gave me the same goose bumps as Rosalie's voice.

"Bella Swan. I'm new here, please open the door." I called back.

"Sure, I'll go get the key. Two seconds." He alerted me.

I stood back from the door, knowing that I was going to get out.

I heard him return and put the key in the door and he turned it. As soon as the door opened, I ran up to him and threw my arms around his neck. He stood shocked for a moment.

I removed my arms instantly, as soon as I knew what I was doing.

"Sorry!" I apologized for my forwardness.

"It's ok." He said back, looking at my eyes.

I examined his eyes and they were so amber that it made me feel warm just looking at them.

"Are you ok? You look like you've been crying." He sussed. He moved his large index finger over my cheek and I flinched from his touch as he wiped away a tear.

"Yeah, I'm just really claustrophobic, and I was in there for ages." I said taking in deep breaths. I just hugged a randomer and now I think I was falling in love with him.
