Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT

I heard a knock on my bedroom door and when I looked up, Bella's eyes were staring into mine.

"Sorry to interrupt you," she apologized.

I smiled at her. "You're not interrupting at all, Bella. What's wrong?"

She smiled back and my pulse quickened.

"I was wondering if maybe you have the time to drive me home. Rosalie said you wouldn't mind."

She paused and when she realized I didn't react, she kept rattling further.

"I don't have a car yet and I think there is no bus heading towards my home. If you don't have the time, I can call a cab."

"No, it's ok. I'll drive you home. Just give me a minute."

She smiled and left my room. Her beauty was really overwhelming. I had to get a grip on myself. I went to the bathroom and sprayed some perfume behind my ears.

Bella was saying goodbye to Rosalie when I headed down the stairs.

"I'm not joining you guys," Rosalie said, "I need to finish my psychology project tonight. If I don't hand it in tomorrow, I'll fail psychology this semester."

I nodded and opened the door that lead to the garage. Bella followed me.

"Wow, you have a lot of cars. We only have one."

Apparently she was surprised by the three cars in the garage.

"The red jeep is mine," I explained, "The other two are my fathers."

Actually, the blue BMW was my mothers and had stood still ever since she died.

We got in my car both putting on our seatbelts. I turned to Bella and she was gazing at me with her brown eyes.

"Where are we heading?" I asked her.

"Do you know the mall?"

I nodded, still locking my eyes on hers. I couldn't resist looking at her.

"I live two streets away from the mall. You should probably drive there first."

She looked away from my gaze and I started the engine.

She looked pretty nervous. It seemed like her knees where shaking.

"You seem nervous."

"I'm sorry," she sighed, "I had hoped Rosalie would drive with us."

"Are you afraid of me?"

No answer. I realized she was afraid.

"I won't hurt you. I'm just bringing you home. No worries ok?"

She smiled softly at me and blushed.

"How come you moved to Forks?" I asked.

She hesitated before answering. "My father found a job in the neighborhood. My mother and I followed him here."

"Is must be hard to leave everyone behind, family, friends, boyfriend…"

"Not really," Bella said to my surprise, "Apart from my parents I don't have family, friends I never had and a boyfriend, I can live without."

She glanced at me and smiled. The smile didn't cover the sadness in her eyes though.

"Fifteen years old and no boyfriend yet," I smirked.

"I'm almost seventeen. I'm behind a year in school because I fell ill last year. How old are you?"

She obviously was avoiding the boyfriend issue.

"I'm seventeen, next month eighteen."

"That's a solid reason for a party." Her gentle smile enchanted me again.

"I bet Rosalie has arranged something already," I replied, "She's in to parties."

"Aren't you planning a party with your friends and girlfriend?"

Aha… she was interested. Butterflies filled my stomach.

"I prefer spending time with my little sister. I will miss her next year when I go to college."

"That's sweet," she whispered.

"I don't have a girlfriend by the way."

I glanced at her.

"Age seventeen and no girlfriend?" she teased.

We both laughed out loud.

Ten minutes later we arrived at a very small but cozy house. The front yard was well maintained with roses and trees. The façade was painted white and all the windows were blue. Bella got out of the car.

I reached for her arm. She froze and turned her head towards me. I let go immediately not expecting to see the fragile and terrified look in her eyes.

"I'm sorry Bella. I didn't mean to scare you. I just wanted to say I'll see you tomorrow."

Her face turned normal again and she smiled gently.

"See you tomorrow," she whispered with a cracked voice.

She closed the door and rushed up to the house where her mother was already waiting outside. I started the engine and drove back home to my baby sister.

I sat in my room after Edward had brought me home, glad that my first day at Forks High School was finally over. I had been scared to death for today, but it hadn't turned out that bad after all.

In my first class, a girl named Rosalie Cullen, had talked to me and she had made me feel very welcome. Rosalie was a great girl. She had it all. She was smart, funny, friendly and extremely beautiful. Next to her and next to most girls my age, I was definitely mediocre. I had dull brown eyes and tenacious brown hair. And of course, I could and would never dress like all of those girls with their short skirts and tank tops showing lots of cleavage.

Rosalie had walked me to all my classes during the day, had asked me to join her for lunch and had proposed to help me catch up biology and English literature. After school, my mom picked me up and after a quick dinner she dropped me over at Rosalie's place, a beautiful big mansion in the middle of Forks' woods. Rosalie showed me around her spacious and light house. The furniture was pure design material, but still felt cozy enough to be a home. The second floor held four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a study.

That's where I had met Rosalie's brother, Edward. And I have to admit I had never seen such a good-looking guy in my life. He was tall and obviously muscular, he had this bronze messy hair and what hit me most were his dazzling green eyes that bore into mine.

When he had brought me home, I had been scared. Me, Isabella Swan, alone with a guy in a car. It wouldn't be the first time that didn't work out. But after all, it went well. He was very sweet and it seems also very interested in me. I had to make sure that I would back away from him. There was no need in leading him on, knowing I would get hurt anyway.

I looked at my alarm clock and realizing it was already after eleven, I picked up my copy of "Wuthering Heights" and started reading before drifting into a haunted sleep.
