Bella's P.O.V

"So he just came to say hi?" I asked Collin after he told me that his dad came to visit. He was lying on my lap as we sat on an empty lunch table. 

"Yeah," He mumbled.

"Wow," I said in shock. I ran my fingers through his hair as he lied on my lap. 

"Why now? I mean, it's been so long since he's cheated on my mom and he knows how loyal Chase and I are to her," Collin said, sitting up.

"Maybe he just wants to make amends," I guessed. 

"Maybe," Collin said. I sighed as I wrapped my arms around him. I kissed his cheek before getting up. The bell rung making everyone start walking to class. 

"Do you want to grab some milkshakes after school today?" I asked him.

"Yeah. I'd like that," Collin smiled. 

"Let's get to class before we get marked tardy," I told him.

"Alright," Collin said. 

We walked into class where I saw a pretty girl with red hair sitting on the desk next to Collins. I looked over at her and then at Collin. We sat in our seats as we got ready for first period. 

"Hi, I'm new here and I was wondering if you know where room D114 is?" The pretty girl said to Collin.

"Yeah. It's in the next building, second floor," Collin told her. 

"Thanks. I'm Rosalie by the way," She introduce herself. 

"Nice to meet you. I'm Collin and this is my girlfriend, Bella," Collin introduced him and I.

"Hi there," I smiled. The final bell rung making us turn over to pay attention to the teacher. 

Once class was over, I held Collin's hand as we exited class.

"D114 is in the next building on the second floor, right?" Rosalie asked us. 

"Yeah," I nodded. 

"Thank you so much," She smiled at us.

"No problem," I said. 

"Maybe you can join us for lunch. Since you're new and all," Collin invited. Rosalie smiled at us. 

"Yeah. I'd like that. Thanks," She said. 

"We'll see you at lunch then," I said. We walked off to our next classes. 

"I'll see you at lunch alright?" Collin said before giving me a quick kiss. 

"Alright. See you then," I said. I walked inside where I saw Melody sitting on her desk.

"Hey," She said. 

"There's a new girl in school and I hope Collin is just being friendly and not flirty," I told her. Melody stared at me for a bit.

"Really?"

"Yes," I said. 

"Alright, maybe he's just being friendly. You know that he has eyes for you only," She told me.

"You're right. I shouldn't overreact," I told her. 

"Take a breather. Now, sit down and try not to focus on that too much," Melody told me. I nodded before sitting down next to her.
