So this is just a cute little story. It's all human, Bella and Edward become best friends, they fall in love. Ha ha I know it's cliche, but I don't care. =)


Chapter 1: Meeting

BPOV

Gah! It's the first day of second grade in my new hometown of Forks, Washington. I moved in with my dad Charlie two days ago. My mom Renee couldn't handle a child so she sent me to live with him. I'm so nervous. What if no one likes me? I know I am a second grade freak who can already read! I really truly just want to make a friend.

Miss Linscott told the second grade class yesterday that we would get a new student today. Her name is Bella and is police chief Charlie Swan's daughter. I hope she is nice and kind. I really want a friend. No one in my class likes me. They all say I am too pale and too smart to be in this class. Hey it's not my fault I can read and they can't!

"C'mon Bella! We don't want to be late."

"Coming daddy!" I sighed. It was time to go to preschool already. I climbed into the back of my dad's police cruiser and we pulled out of the driveway. School was only 5 minutes away from my house. When we got there, daddy walked me in and introduced me to Miss Linscott, my new teacher, and then he left for work.

"Why hello Bella! I am Miss Linscott, your new teacher. How about we go inside and you can meet the class." I nodded and Miss Linscott led me into the classroom.

"Class this is Bella Swan. She just moved here from Pheonix, Arizona. She doesn't know anybody, so be the best you can be to her, alright?" I was blushing like crazy and everyone was staring at me. Miss Linscott told me to sit in the empty chair beside a boy named Edward. He was very handsome with his penny hair and bright green eyes. He had a beautiful smile that was very welcoming. I was happy to sit next to him.

When Miss Linscott told Bella to sit next to me, I was extatic. I would be able to talk to her! Maybe I would get my first friend. When Bella first walked into the classroom however, I thought she was one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen. She had shoulder length, dark, curly hair, wide chocolate eyes and an ivory skin tone. Bella just had to be my friend. I don't think I could live if she wasn't.

"Hi Bella," I said flashing a quick smile.

She smiled and blushed a little. "Hello."

"Bella, do you want to be my best friend?" I asked a bit too blunt. I internally cringed.

"Really? Of course Edward! I was afraid nobody would want to be my friend! Oh this is excellent! Wait, do you know how to read?" she asked quickly.

The relief I felt when she said she would be my friend was gone.

"Umm... yes, I do know how to read," I mumbled, looking down.

"Yay!" I looked up. "I know how to read too! I really love the American Girl Doll Series! How about you?"

I smiled. Bella was going to be an awesome best friend.

"Well, I really like the Matt Christopher books because I really like sports. But I really like music too." Bella nodded and smiled. Forks wasn't so bad any more.


I hope everyone liked the first chapter. I know it's short, but I mean they are only in second grade. Oh, and when I was in second grade, I was just like Bella. I knew how to read and a lot of kids didn't. So for those moms who are reading this, I mean no disrespect to your second graders =) I am just going by my own experience.

Review Please!
