Today was my first day of Forks high school.

Great.

I sighed and got out of bed, brushing my hair before trudging down the stairs. Charlie looked almost ready to leave.

I asked, "Are we in a hurry?"

I wouldn't have actually minded getting to school early and avoiding some big entrance.

Charlie smiled, "No, your not at least. I know how much you hate riding in the cruiser, and I know I haven't picked up your truck yet, but I found you a ride."

I stopped mid-step and frowned at him.

I had to get a ride with someone I don't even know?

He noticed my unhappy face and laughed gently, "Relax, Bella, she's a good kid. Very friendly."

I asked, "Well, who is it?"

He put on his gun belt and informed me, "Alice Cullen. She will swing by in an hour, I think, so be ready by then."

I shrugged, "Okay. Have a good day."

He smiled, "You too, bye."

I watched him leave and sighed, going into the kitchen to find some cereal and orange juice.

Exactly 57 minutes later a sleek, shiny, dark blue sports car pulled into the driveway.

The little emblem on the front let me know that it was a Jaguar.

Nice!

I got my backpack and went over to the car, opening the door and slipping into the passenger seat.

A small girl, with wide black eyes and an infectious smile turned to me.

"Hi! I'm Alice!"

Her voice was musical, like the chime of a high-tuned bell.

"I'm Bella. Thanks for giving me a ride."

She pulled out and tore down the road, laughing a little, "It's no problem, really. This is Jasper and Edward."

I glanced behind me to notice we had company.

Neither of them looked very friendly.

The one with messy bronze hair looked murderous. His face was twisted into a furious scowl and his entire body was tense.

I was instantly terrified of him.

The other one was gorgeous. He had locks of thick, honey-blond, curly hair that I felt a compulsion to touch.

His face was strained, but it looked more like he was in pain rather then angry.

His coal black eyes were very appealing, and I felt myself blushing when he smiled at me.

He gave a curt nod, "Bella."

I almost melted when I heard his voice, so quiet and strong. I could swear I heard the faintest trace of an accent.

I turned around and looked out the road.

We were driving so fast, we were halfway to the school already!

Alice asked perkily, "So, Bella, how are you liking Forks so far?"

I sighed, "It's wet, and cold, but I guess it's alright."

She asked, "You came from Phoenix, right?"

I nodded, she continued, "Then Forks must be a big change for you. We all moved down here freshman year, from Alaska. It's a lot different for us, too."

Alaska? I'd probably die around all that snow!

Alice offered, "Would you like me to go to the office with you? I can direct you towards your classes."

I frowned, "You don't have to go out of your way for me."

Alice laughed again, "No, it's alright."

I asked her a question, "So, how did you get into the chauffeur job?"

She smiled, "I was at the hospital with Carlisle and Charlie had to stop in for something. I asked him when the daughter he's been talking about was finally showing up, and then it just happened from there."

The blonde one in the back seat laughed once, "More like you attacked him until he agreed to let you do it."

She glared playfully over her shoulder, "Jasper, did anyone ask you?"

Jasper.

The incredibly beautiful one was Jasper.

I felt myself tingle as we pulled into the parking lot at the school.

The other one, Edward, was out of the car before it was even fully to a stop. He walked extremely quickly over to a silver Volvo that had two other people leaning against it.

One was a tall, extremely muscular man. The other one was such a beautiful female that I felt instantly self-conscious just looking at her.

Alice saw me staring and smirked, "You'll meet them later. Come on, let's go and get your schedule."

I got out of the fancy car, and Alice bounced over to my side. She wrapped her elbow around mine like girls do in those old movies and we started towards the school.

Everyone was staring at us.

I tried not to die from the gawking as I was led into the school and into the main office, dreading the stares I was going to get throughout the rest of the day.
