Two Loves are Better than One

Chapter 1

Bella pulled up into the parking lot of our new school. Everyone was looking at us as she parked in a space and the truck backfired. As we both got out of the car, people were laughing and as we were walking past a guy said "nice ride!"

"Thanks," Bella said quietly, I looked back as Bella kept walking, and showed a not so lovely hand gesture. I barely caught the look on his face before I turned back around and caught up with Bella. We then went to the office and got our schedules before we started to walk around and try to find our classes.

"You're Isabella, and Lilliana Swan, the new girls," A guy with shoulder-length black hair said, coming up behind us.

"Hi, I'm Eric, the eyes, and ears if this place, anything you need, your guide, lunch date, shoulder to cry on?" he said smiling.

"I'm really kind of the more suffer in silence type," Bella said with an awkward smile.

"Good heading for your feature, I'm on the paper, and you guys are news baby, front page.

"No, we're not," We both said at the same time.

"Please don't have any sort of..." Bella started.

"Woah Woah, chillax. No feature" He promised.

"Oh thank god" I sighed, he looked at me "Oh, um, sorry, I just, don't like my picture taken."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My first period was math, which I'm pretty good at, considering I'm a year ahead in it; I'm a Sophomore, one year younger than Bella. I sat down in the back corner, being most comfortable there when a student walked in sat next to me. 'Really?' I thought. I then looked at next to me, and wow he was cute. He smiled slightly before turning his attention towards the front of the room. At that moment the bell rung and everyone got settled in, and the lesson began. It looks like we are learning about graphing quadratics, which I learned about already from my other school, so I'm just zoning out. I'm pretty nervous though, I'm the only sophomore in a class of Juniors, AND I'm a new student. That's just asking for attention. Your eyes suddenly shifted and landed on a boy with blondish brown hair. Holy shit he was attractive. He suddenly looked over and caught me staring. Crap.' I quickly looked away and tried to pay attention to the rest of the class.

Once the bell rang I quickly gathered my stuff and slung my bag over my shoulder, I was hurrying out of the room when I tripped over one of the desks, crashing into someone. I looked up; it was the boy I had been staring at. Did I seriously just do the whole cliche trip and fall into the person you like thing?

"Oh, uh sorry," I said, quickly getting up, why am I blushing so hard? How dare you betray me body! "I'll just, go-" I crashed into another person, I fell and looked back up. I just crashed into a literal goddess; I felt my blush get deeper.

"Oh my god, I am so sorry," I said quickly getting up "I don't know what's wrong with me today, I just keep running into attractive people... Oh, I didn't mean to say that out loud, not that you guys aren't attractive, I mean- I just- I'm gonna go," I said and rushed out of the room, my face probably as red as a tomato.

I walked into my next class, History. It was open seating, so I sat in the back again, as I was sitting there I was trying to will my blush to go away. Then, right before the bell rang, both of them walked into the class and sat down. I sat there wide-eyed before dropping my head on the desk. I was literally going to die.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I looked around the lunchroom and spotted Bella with a group of people. I walked over to them

"Hey it's Lillianaaa," Eric said.

"Hey, and it's just Lily. Do you mind if I sit with you guys?"

"Of course not," A girl in pink said. I sat down next to Bella, the girl in pink was Jessica, and there were two other boys who I saw leave before I came over here that I didn't know the names of. A girl then came over and said smile then took a picture of us.

"Sorry, I needed a candid for the feature," She said.

"The feature's dead, Angela," Eric said. "Don't bring it up again." He got up.

"It's okay we just..." I said, making a face.

"It's okay, I got your backs, baby," Eric said on the other side of us before leaving.

"Guess we'll just run another editorial on teen drinking." Angela sighed

"You know you could always go for eating disorders," Bella said "Speedo padding on the swim team."

"Actually that's a good one," Angela said, she started talking about it with Jessica. I looked over at Bella and saw that she was looking at something else. I looked in the direction she was looking, and saw five people outside, including the two I met this morning.

"Who are they," I asked, because damn.

"The Cullens," Angela said.

"They're, um, Dr. and Mrs. Cullen's foster kids. They moved down here from Alaska, like, a few years ago." Jessica said.

"They kind of keep to themselves," Angela added.

"Yeah, 'cause they're all together. Like, together, together." Jessica said quietly. They started to enter the cafeteria. A blonde girl and a tall, muscular guy entered first.

"The Blonde Girl, that's Rosalie. And the big dark-haired guy is Emmet, they're, like, a thing." Jessica said, "I'm not even sure that's legal."

"It is, actually." I said nonchalantly, "Because they're not actually related."

"Yeah, but they live together, it's weird." She argued.

"So do married couples," I said. For some reason, I just did not like this girl. She didn't seem to have a comeback, so she continued.

"And, okay, the Blond who looks like he's in pain is Jasper." She said, I looked over and saw that it was the guy who I met, more like ran into, this morning.

"The little dark-haired girl that he's with is Alice, she's weird." Jessica continued, She was the literal goddess I also ran into. Jasper was twirling her as they were walking. So they're together? A little disappointing but they are so cute, Together as a couple and separately, like what am I going to do with these two people in the same building as me much less the same classes.

"Dr. Cullen's like this foster Dad/Matchmaker," Jessica said.

"Maybe he'll adopt me," Angela said.

"Do you want your parents to die?" I said. She looked a little startled "Oh uh, sorry, I didn't mean to say that, it's just..to adopt someone... you have to be..." I trailed off. The awkward tension was cut by Bella.

"Who's he." She nodded towards the last one coming through the door. He was the one who sat next to me in math.

"That's Edward Cullen. He's totally gorgeous, obviously. But apparently, nobody here is good enough for him, like I care, y'know." She said bitterly "So yeah seriously, like, don't waste your time."

"I wasn't planning on it" Bella chuckled awkwardly.

I can't disagree with Jessica, but I think Jasper and Alice are way more attractive. I mean, have you seen them. I looked over at them and saw that both of them were looking this way, my eyes widening, and I quickly looked away, I could feel my face start to heat up. Damn beautiful people.
