2012 Sept.

Bella POV

Forks, Washington

We had gone back to school late October 2010, that was when Alice had told us that James had gone East, finally. It was an easy time going to school. We had no dramas at all, each of us were getting A+'s across the board.

It was the start of a the school year and during the whole month of August there were rumors flying around the town, that a new family was moving here and that there was a new kid who was going to be starting in our grade.

It was the start of the new term, the first day back, when my world was picked up, turned upside down, and then placed back down gently.

We went to school early because Alice had pushed us all out the door.

"If you guys don't hurry, we will be late. We need to be sitting at the benches this morning." Alice said in a rush.

"Okay,okay Alice." We all said as we were walking to the cars.

We sat down at the table indicated by Alice. She chose the table in the center of the outdoor setting. We started to hear the other students talking about the new kid.

"Did you hear, there is a new kid starting today?" We heard one of the humans say.

"Yeah, I heard that he and his mum moved from Texas, after his dad died or something like that." Did these children have nothing better to do than gossip?

I turned to Alice who had an all knowing smile on her face.

"Alice is this what we have been waiting for?" I asked, eager to see how her vision would play out.

"Yes I think so, there are still so many possibilities. The future is changing so fast, I am not able to tell what is going to happen." Alice said. Sounding more frustrated by the minute.

"Wow, he must have arrived because the lust in the school just kicked up into high gear and there is a lot of jealousy flying around too." Jasper said.

"I will see you guys at lunch,okay?" I said, not knowing how I felt about this new development.

We all went to our first classes, this new kid was all that was talked about during class. I was the first one to our lunch table, we have had the same one since the day we arrive at Forks High.

I started to hear the students whispering about the new kid called Edward Masen. The girls were talking about his looks and the boys were complaining that they were being ignored by the girls.

I was joined by the rest of my family. I had my back facing the door, when all of a sudden I gasped and took a deep breath. I felt a change in the room but I had no clue what it was.

"Why is it like I am just now starting to be able to breathe?" I asked confused.

Alice looked at me.

"You have just mated, Bella. That's what it felt like when I found Jasper. Was it the same for you Emmett?" Alice asked, already knowing it was.

"Yes it was, it was like that a huge weight had been lifted off of my chest and shoulders. Does it feel like that Little sis?" Emmett explained, putting a comforting hand on my shoulder.

"Is this what I have been waiting 94 years for?" I asked.

"Yes Bella it is, I did tell you your world would change, didn't I?" Alice said, a little too smug for my liking.

I walked into English and sat down at my desk. I pulled out my copy of 'Night of the Vampire' by Raymond Giles and waited for the class to start. Every one had been seated. The chair next to me was never taken by a student. My breathing became easier, so I looked up to see who had just walked into the classroom. I was blown away by the boy who was standing by the teachers desk.

He came and sat down in the empty seat next to me.

"Hello, my name is Edward Masen, what is your name?" He asked, his voice surprisingly pleasant.

"Hi Edward, I'm Bella Cullen, it's nice to finally meet you. I have been hearing about you all day." I replied, surprised that he had the courage to even talk to me.

"Only good things I hope." Edward said, on a flirty tone.

"Yes, only good things" I looked up into his dark green eyes.

Edward POV

Forks, Washington

Why couldn't I get this girl off my mind? I had first seen her sitting with her family in the courtyard, then in the cafeteria. The tiny black haired girl wouldn't stop looking at me. I could tell that she was thinking that I was perfect for her sister Bella.

I walked in to my English class and felt a lot better. I looked around to see if there was a reason for this, I saw the most stunning girl I have ever seen. I felt so safe when ever she was around. I sat down in the only spare seat in the classroom, I was ecstatic that I was forced to sit next to her.

I needed to introduce myself to her. So I did.

"Edward, are you enjoying the weather?" Bella asked, seeming to be lost at what to say.

"Are you really asking me about the weather?" I joked, trying to lighten things up.

"Yeah I guess, I am. Well?" She asked, with a small smile playing on her lips.

"I am really enjoying the weather. I like rain and the sound it makes when it falls through trees. I hate hot temperatures, I hated living in Texas, there is no way to escape from the heat." I told her, wanting her to know me.

"Edward, would you like to come over to my house sometime?" Bella asked.

"I would love to Bella." She looked down at her phone. Then back to me with a huge smile on her face. She showed me her phone. The message said, 'Well done Bella, your future is becoming clearer, gold star!'

"What does she mean your future is becoming clearer?" I asked, confused by the strange text.

"Alice thinks she can see the future. So she likes to 'predict' our futures. When would you like to come over?" She said with a roll of her eyes which was so adorable.

"Is it possible to come over Friday?" I asked, wishing it was Friday already.

She looked at her phone once again, then looked at me.

"Yes, Friday is perfect. What would you to eat for dinner that night?" She asked, her face lighting up with her smile.

"Mushroom risotto would be delightful, if it's not too much trouble." I told her, not wanting her to go through too much trouble for me.

"No, it's no trouble at all." I had to touch her. I cupped her face and ran my thumb over her cheek, she was so stunning. I don't know how I am going to breathe without her around.

At the end of class my Bella gave me a copy of the notes of what happened in the class. I had been too distracted with Bella to care to pay attention to the teacher.
