Bella and I made a deal. Every week, we'll switch between drivers on our way to school. This week is me.

We got ready and said our goodbyes to Charlie before getting into the truck and heading to school.

It's our first day at a new school. It's March; middle of the semester. I parked in a parking spot when I heard a pop come from the back of the truck. Great.

Bella and I grabbed out bags ad got out.

"Nice ride," a boy said. I couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic or not.

"Thanks," Bella said quietly. I ignored him and walked beside Bella towards the school.

We went to the office and grabbed out schedules. We compared them. We only have gym together.

"You're Isabella and Blake Swan," an Asian boy said, coming up to my left. "Hi, I'm Eric. The eyes and ears of this place. Anything you need; tour guide, lunch date, shoulder to cry on?"

"Uh, we're really more of a suffer in silence type," Bella answered.

"Good headline for the future," Eric said enthusiastically. "I'm on the paper and you're on the news baby. Frontpage."

"No, I'm not," Bella pleaded. "I- please don't have any-"

"Whoa, whoa, chillax. No future," Eric said.

"Thanks," Bella said.

I know I'm not much of a talker, but I love playing sports. The gym teacher is having the girls play volleyball while the boys play basketball. The ball was passed to me and I dribbled it to the hoop, making it in with ease. I'm relatively tall; about 5'11' whereas Bella is about 5'2" maybe 5'3".

I heard the groan, causing me to look up to see Bella talking to a boy who was holding the back of his head.

"I'm so sorry," Bella apologized. "I told them not to let me play."

Bella isn't the most coordinated person. She was never really good at sports.

I decided o continue playing basketball. I made another 7 shots. Every time I did, my team would cheer and pat me on the back. I smiled and continued playing.

For lunch, I went with a bologna sandwich and a cup of yogurt. I sat down across from Bella. I watched as Mike, a boy I know from gym class, pulled out her chair for her. Mike sat at Bella's right. Eric was sat on her left

"Burrito my friend?" Mike asked Eric.

"Hey, Mikey," Eric said with a smile. "I see you met my homegirl, Bella."

"Oh, your homegirl?" Mike asked.

"My girl," someone said, kissing Bella's cheek before pulling Mike's chair out from under him as running. Mike stood up and chased him. "Sorry I had to mess up your game, Mike."

"Oh, my God," a girl said. I learned her name is Jessica in gym as well. She sat in Mike's old chair. "It's like first grade all over again. You're the shiny new toy."

"Smile," I heard a girl say before a bright light flashed in my eyes.

"Ok," Bella said.

"Sorry," the girl said. "I need a candid for the future."

"Future's dead, Angela," Eric said, standing up. "Don't bring it up again." He looked at Bella. "I got your back, baby."

With that, e walked away. I put a spoonful of yogurt in my mouth.

"I guess we'll just run another editorial on teen drinking," Angela said.

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

"Actually, that's a good one," Angela said with a smile.

"Good, right?" Jessica said. "That's exactly why I thought."

"Who are they?" Bella asked. I looked in the direction she was looking and saw four unbelievably beautiful people walking into the cafeteria.

"The Cullens," Angela answered

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

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

"Yeah, cuz they're all together," Jessica said. "Like, together together."

"The blonde girl, that Rosalie and the big dark-haired guy, Emmett, they're like a thing. I'm not even sure that's legal.

"Jess, they're not actually related," Angela said.

"Yeah, but they live together," Jessica said. "It's weird."

"Ok, um, the little dark-haired girl, that's Alice," Jessica said. "She's really weird. And she's with Jasper, the blonde one who looks like he's in pain. Um, Doctor Cullen's like this foster dad slash matchmaker."

I didn't bother listening to the rest of the conversation. All I heard was the name Edward. I looked up at the group of people from before. They were all unbelievably beautiful people. However, one of them caught my eye. The one Jessica said was Emmett just stuck out to me. He had short, cropped hair which was black. He was burly; he has a lit of muscle. I watched as he smiled at the so-called Rosalie girl.

I've never told anyone I'm gay except for my dad, my mom, Phil, and Bella. I came out to everyone when I was in 6th grade. I remember because there was a boy I liked. He, however, didn't like me back. And when he found out liked him, he somehow got everyone in the school to tease me about it.

I saw the Alice girl look at me. When she did, her eyes lit up. She looked away. I saw a boy sit next to Rosalie. That must be Edward. He was definitely gorgeous, but nothing compared to Emmett.

As I watched Emmett, I didn't realize he was looking at me. I felt my face heat up slightly as I looked down at my tray, taking a bite of my sandwich. I slowly looked back up to see he was still looking at me. There's just something about him.

"Blake Swan I presume?" The English teacher, Mrs. Emerson, said.

I nodded. The woman smiled. "Alright. Why don't you have a seat right there."

She pointed to the only seat available. It was in the very back on the far left. I let out a sigh of relief when I realized I would be alone.

I walked to my seat and sat down. I felt someone's eyes on me, causing me to look to the right to see the one and only Emmett Cullen. Oh, god. He's in this class?

After Mrs. Emerson finished her lesson, she allowed everyone to work with a partner for the last 25 minutes of class.

I saw Emmett stand up. He made his way towards me and sat beside me. I didn't say anything as I watched him. He was even more beautiful close-up.

"You must be the new kid, Blake right?" He asked. His voice was exactly how I imagined it.

I only nodded.

"I'm Emmett."
