OUTTAKES

The is Bella's version of Introductions, where she first meets Edward in Chemisty. I cut this because I wanted to introduce Bella's character and background bit by bit and after their first original meeting. I didn't want to rush the chapter and unravel Bella's storyline whilst meeting Edward for the first time because it would have been a lot of information to take in, in one chapter and I just wanted to concentrate on Edward during the early stages of the story.

CHAPTER TWO – INTRODUCTIONS (Bella's version)
BELLA POV

I practically ran to my first lesson even though I came to school half an hour early as I always did. I blame Jane Austen for making me late because I read in the courtyard before school started to avoid any unnecessary attention from the gangs. I was a little out of breath as the second bell rang but I had made it to chemistry just in time because Ms Conner's wasn't here yet.

I walked in and headed to my usually seat on the front row but I was surprised to see the stool next to me was occupied. Nobody ever sat in that seat so I obviously looked around for another stool which had an empty stool next to it. All the stools were either taken or had somebody next to them so I reluctantly sat down in my original seat.

The boy who was sat next to me hadn't noticed me sit down. He was facing the other way but I already knew I'd never seen him before due to his unique reddish bronze hair.

"Jacob, show this guy what happens when we don't get paid" One boy said behind me.

I wasn't the one to draw attention to myself but I slowly turned around in my stool anyway to take a quick peek. A boy pulled another boy in a head lock and began to torment him. I felt pity on the boy but there was nothing I could do for him without drawing attention to myself so I did the only thing I could do and turned back around. As I did I felt the air get knocked right out of me as I began drowning in the most beautiful emerald green eyes I have ever seen. I must have looked like an idiot just staring at him with my mouth hanging open like a fish. I felt my curse of blushing creep up on me so I quickly turn around and looked to the front.

I seen him looking at me from the corner of my eye so I looked down at my books and hunched my shoulders over to make myself look invisible like I always did and let my hair fall to the side to create a curtain between hopeing that would block out his stares.

Just then I heard the buzzer from the door then Ms Conner's walked in.

"Good morning students" She greeted us.

Nobody even paid any attention to her as usual.

"Good morning students!" She said again a bit louder this time.

This time they noticed her but still they continued to talk to each other and go about their business.

"Welcome to my class now if you would all be seated"

"I'm still 50bucks short fuck face!" The same boy behind us hissed.

"Gentlemen please be seated" Ms. Conner's told them.

"Fuck off" He spat to her.

"Gentlemen if you are going to be in my class then you have to listen and pay attention" She said walking up the steps to the row behind me.

"Pay attention to this bitch" He laughed.

I turned around just in time to see the boy grab his crotch.

"You may not listen to me but you will sit down!" She said emphasising the word will.

"Make me bitc..."

Before the boy could finish he was hurling across the desk then crashed onto the floor. It happened that quickly I didn't know for sure if she pushed him or not.

"Don't you go messing with my boy's Ms Conner's" Another boy with dirty blonde hair spat grabbing her from behind.

She stamped on his foot with her heel making him cry out in pain, she shoved him effortless making him hit the far wall. The whole class was silent and gawked at what just happened.

"Anybody else" She smiled a sinister smile.

I quickly turned around after that and made myself look small again as I heard the rest of the class take their seats.

"Now then, where were we?" Ms Conner's continued to the front of the class.

I knew there was something weird about all the teachers in this school but for the life of me I couldn't figure out what. This wasn't the first time I had seen Ms Conner's serve corporal punishment so it didn't surprise me the slightest while witnessing her little outburst.

I took a quick glance up to the boy next to me and noticed the little black heart tattoo that was on his neck. I didn't really know much about the gangs here but I knew that tattoo was a representation to the Black Heart gang. He turned his head and noticed me looking and once again I was met by his emerald green eyes. It felt like he was burning me up from the inside out. I blushed again and quickly looked away from him.

"We are going to be continuing with where we left off last lesson, so open your books and turn to page 38 and read from chapter 12" Mr Conner's informed us.

I opened my book and began to read but I noticed the boy next to me didn't have a book so I slid my book sideway's to him.

"Thank you" He whispered.

His voice was soothing almost musical which made me smile. I was trying to concentrate on the paragraph I was reading and I didn't notice until a moment later that I reread the same line over and over again. I jumped and looked up as Ms Conner's slammed a book down on the table in front of him.

"There you go, glad to have you with us Mr" She paused "Cullen" She added before she returned to her desk.

I pulled my book away from him as he opened his book and began reading. We were studying Elements and Compounds. I didn't find it difficult to work out because I had already read the chapters on them last night. I tried to concentrate but I couldn't because I kept noticing the boys eyes would leave his book for a second to watch me then he continued reading.

"Alright class take notes and quietly discuss and compare ideas with your partner" Ms. Conner's told us.

Great now I would have to talk to him. I just smiled at him and blushed then prayed that I could speak to him without making myself look like an even bigger idiot.

"Edward Cullen" He smirked.

His smile was so unique it was like half a smile and half a smirk which made me all gooey inside. What the hell Bella snap out of it. I scolded myself.

"Bella Swan" I said weakly.

"Bella, is that short for something" He asked.

Well this was new, nobody ever really spoke to me except for my girly friends and even they didn't ask if I had a full name.

"Isabella, but I prefer Bella"

"I guess you're new to the area" He asked.

I could say the same to you I wanted to say but didn't.

"Yeah"

I didn't know why he was asking me question and I began to feel a little uncomfortable but at the same time I was a bit excited that somebody was actually talking to me instead of insulting me or making sexual suggestions.

"Did you move on your own?" He asked.

"My dad moved here, just on the outskirts of town a few months ago" I said shyly.

"Must be a bummer" He smirked again.

"Yeah" I smiled.

"Where did you move from?"

"Jacksonville, my dad took a new job so I had to move with him"

"Must have been an important job to move to this shithole" he half laughed.

I smiled weakly and began drawing on my notebook not sure if I should tell him anymore about myself. He didn't push for more answers so we fell into a comfortable silence until the bell rang. I collected my things and felt Edward brush past me as I stood up. I looked down on the table and picked up his pen he had left.

"Hey, you forgot your pen"

I held the pen up and he turned around and walked back over to me.

"Thanks" He replied receiving the pen.

"I'm sorry if I brushed you off" I apologised.

I didn't know why I was apologising but it just felt like the right thing to do beings a he was the first genuinely friendly person I have seen all day, well actually all the three months I have been here excluding my girlfriends.

"Don't worry about it you can't be too careful can you?"He smiled.

"Well if it helps you are the first friendly face I have spoken to today" I admitted.

I began walking out the classroom and he followed me out as the hallway flooded with fleeing student.

"What lesson have you got next?" He asked.

I didn't know if he was just asking to be polite of if he was genuinely interested.

"I've got a free period" I told him.

"Oh, look its Cullen" A girl shouted coming through the hallway with her arm around a boy.

"He doesn't want to hang out with us anymore he just wants to kiss up to her" another boy said.

I hunched over and looked at the floor to somehow try and escape his death stare.

"You might have well just stick your dick in a meat grinder" the boy who linked the girls arm sarcastically said.

"I don't know what you're talking about" Edward hissed.

I heard them move and looked up just in time for them to disappear into Chemistry.

"Um, I do" I whispered looking up to him.

I didn't know if to tell him that he was actually speaking to the boss's daughter but I figured that he would eventually find out anyway.

"My dad's the new principle" I whispered.

Just then the second bell rang.

"Perfect" He smiled before he took off running.
