BPOV

“Fuck,” I muttered to myself as I dropped a box full of books on my right foot. I sat down on a chair, moaned and started rubbing my foot. I cannot believe that today is the day that I have been dreading for the past 4 months. Ever since my father Charlie Swan has called a family, meeting that will change my family’s life and mine. The day that my father told us that we would be leaving our home here in cold Edgware, London and moving to sunny Beverly Hills, California.  

Flashback

4 months ago

September 17^th

“Jasper wait up,” I called to my brother as we got off the school bus outside of our home in Apple Dore close, Edgware. He grinned at me.

“Come on then belles” he laughed. I gave him the stink eye as he called me the same name that he called me ever since I could remember.

“I hate it when you call me that. I grew out of it when I was 6 years old,” I growled.

I love Jasper. He is not only my twin brother but he is my best friend but I hate it when he calls me that name.

He laughed as we went into our two story home. I walked in home to find the kitchen full of smoke.

May god give me strength? I cannot believe that my mother is trying to cook again. She is one of those people who would burn water. This is the only reason why she has Mrs Cope come in every evening at 5pm to help her with the dinner. 

“Mum, what do you think that you are doing?” I laughed. I quickly opened up all the windows in the kitchen to get the smoke out as she sat down and sighed in defeat.

“I don’t know Bella. I wanted to put a nice dinner together. Your dad has some great news and I thought it would be nice to have a good dinner so that we could celebrate,” she said.

My father is a lawyer and is currently looking for work since the firm that he recently worked in has laid him off. He is damned good lawyer and I know that he will not be out of work for too long.

I started to help my mother clean and get the smoke out of the kitchen when I heard my father come in the front door. The second I saw him I knew that he had some good news for us because he was wearing this goofy look on his face as if he was saying I know something that you do not know.

“Hello family. I was hoping to request your presence in the living room in 5 minutes for a family meeting,” he grinned and practically skipped out of the kitchen.

My mother and I looked at each other and followed him. I went into the living room to find Jasper already sitting on our brown leather couch. I quietly went over and sat next to him. My mother sat on the love seat while my father was standing in the middle of the floor looking at all three of us grinning.

“Well there is no point in beating around the bush.”

“I GOT A JOB,” he yelled happily.

For a second I thought that I did not hear him properly but when he said it again I jumped up and hugged him tightly while jumping up and down. I was so happy for him. My father is one of those people who needs to work and would not know what to do if he had nowhere to go to in the morning.

He smiled down at me and told me that he was not finished and would I please go and sit down.  I went to sit down next to Jasper and he put his arm around me while my father continued.

“I didn’t get the chance to tell you the best part before I was interrupted,” he grinned at me. I looked down at my hands while my face blushed blood red.

“The firm is called Cullen & Denali. I was offered the position of a Senior Counsel and the pay is excellent. Now I know that it will be a big move but it is for the best for…………”

Jasper stood up and glared at our father.

“What do you mean when you said that that it will be a big move?” he snapped.

My dad looked at Jasper and I sheepishly.

“The firm is in Beverly Hills, California. They will be supplying us with a home, car and paying for our moving expenses. I will be able to send both of you to one of the best schools. So like I said it is a big move but it will be good for the family,” he mumbled.

Jasper got up and started yelling at dad while waving his hands around like a crazy person, while my mother and I simply sat there in stunned silence.

Dad put his hand up to stop Jasper when he was in the middle of shouting fuck you and I am not going.

“Now I know that this is a shock to everyone but it is the best for everyone. The two partners of the firm Carlisle Cullen and Garrett Denali want me in LA in January. They have us set up in a beautiful 5 bedroom home in Beverly Hills and the both of you can start the new semester at Mason High School.”

“Jasper, Bella. You are both only 17 years old and I know that this is a big change for both of you. But you need to realise that this is the best choice for the whole family and I don’t want to hear another word about it,” he said and left the room.

Just like that, it has been decided that we will be leaving our home in Edgware. A place that I lived in all my life and moving to Beverly Hills, California.

End flashback

I was suddenly brought back to the present when Jasper started yelling at me to get a move on. I have to admit that he adjusted to the fact that we are moving to LA quickly and is even excited to get there. I on the other hand am dreading it. I am a simple, quiet 17-year-old girl who loves reading and spending time with the few friends that I have. This place will be as if the world has gone blonde. I can just see it now. A place full of tall, blonde, stuck up, model’s wannabes. There figures will most probably be as plastic as their credit cards. There is no way that I am going to fit in over there. I am a short girl at 5ft 5ins with long boring brown hair and plain brown eyes. Jasper should fit right in with his blonde shaggy hair and blue eyes. He is the classic boy next door. At least he got his looks from mum when I got mine from dad.

“Bella, we would like to leave now and not in the next 5 years,” Jasper continued to call.

I got up off my chair and took a look around at the home that I lived in for the last 17 years. I sighed and walked out to where everyone was waiting for me in the car. As soon as I got in and put my seatbelt on, my father pulled out of the driveway and pulled away. I turned around and watched as my home faded away.

~*~HS~*~

2 Weeks Later

We have been living here in Hamel Drive, Beverly Hills, 90211 for a week and half already and it still does not feel like home. It is a beautiful house and for the first time I have a bathroom of my own but all I could think about was the nice cold weather of London and my friends going back to school full of stories about what they did over the Christmas holidays. Here the hot weather seems so unnatural for January. It has been 2 weeks of unpacking our boxes, dad being settled in to work and mum trying to find her way.

Today is the first day of school and I have to admit that I am scared shitless. Jasper on the other hand is excited to be starting a new school. At least he knows people who are also juniors of Mason High. He met our neighbour Emmett McCarthy the day after we got here when we were unloading the moving van. They have been fast friends ever since. They tried to include me in all of their plans but I kept shying away from Emmett. He was too intimidating with him been so big and was full of muscles. He seems like a genuinely nice person and I am sure that I will warm up to him.

I did not know what these California girls wore to school so I settled on a blue pair of knit colour leggings and a white sleeveless blouse. The second that I was dressed I ran down to our kitchen and grabbed a granola bar from the cupboard and poured myself a tall glass of cold orange juice which I drank down in one go.

It will definitely take me a while to get used to the warm weather here. Now it is 20 degrees here and usually that is a hot day in the middle of June or July in London. I looked around to see if either of my parents is home but the place was deserted. Just when I was, wondering how I was going to get to school a car beeped outside and Jasper came into the kitchen looking for me.

“Come on belles, Emmett is going to take us to school,” he said and went out to see his friend. I shoved the last of the granola bar into my mouth and ran out to join Emmett and Jasper. As soon as I got to the car, I could not help but notice the girl in the front seat. She was beautiful. Tall with long blonde hair, blue eyes and a figure that a model would die for. I got in the back seat with Jasper and the model turned around and gave me a dazzling smile.

“Hi. You must be Bella. I’m Rosalie, Emmett’s girlfriend but my friends call me Rose,” she smiled putting her hand out. I took her hand and shook it while I smiled back.

“Stick with me and you will be alright. I know what it like to be the new kid,” she reassured me.

“Thank you. I am so grateful,” I smiled sincerely. She smiled and turned around to look out the window at the scenery. 10 minutes later, Emmett pulled into the parking lot of the high school. From the look of it, you could fit our old school in London in the courtyard. I got out of the car and my legs felt like Jell-O as I walked in through the doors with Rose, Jasper and Emmett. Rose and Emmett showed Jasper and myself to the admissions office and told us that they would see us later.

15 minutes later Jasper and I went our separate ways.  I was walking along the corridor trying to find my locker when suddenly I hit against something hard and fell on my butt cheeks. My face went red with embarrassment.

 “I hope that nobody saw that,” I thought.

 I went to get up when someone offered me his or her hand to help me up. I gratefully took it and got up off the ground. I looked at my saviour to thank him when the words got stuck in my throat. Looking back at me was the most beautiful guy I have ever seen in my life. He is at least 6ft tall with tousled bronze hair, sexy body and has the most gorgeous emerald eyes. He looked back at me as if he was seen the sun for the first time and for the first time in my life. I feel like I can actually believe in love at first sight.

“Err- Are y-you al-alright?” he mumbled.

My vocal cords would not work so the only thing that I could was nod. We continued to look into each other’s eyes not even caring about the other people around us when suddenly we heard a loud squeaky nasally voice interrupting us.

“Eddie, there you are. Come on we are going to be late for class,” she squeaked while giving me the death glare while tossing her long strawberry blonde hair over her shoulders. She looked just like a girl from Baywatch.

Great I have only been in this school for one hour and it seems like I made and enemy out of this plastic Barbie.

Beautiful green eyes shook his head as if to get out of a dream and left with Baywatch Barbie without saying a word. When they are about 6 feet away, he turned his head and gave me a crooked smile before he continued to go to class. I felt my panties immediately dampen.  

I continued to try to find my locker but now my thoughts are filled with the beautiful green-eyed boy. Who happens to have a Baywatch Barbie for a girlfriend, I thought bitterly.

I finally found my locker. I put my stuff into it and then went to go to my first class that is English. I finally found it and introduced myself to the teacher Mr banner. I looked around the classroom to find myself a seat. The only one available was the one next to a pixie like girl with black spiky hair. I sat next to her and she gave me a huge smile.

“Hi my name is Alice Cullen. I guess that makes you Bella?” she squealed.

I looked at her in shock wondering if she was somehow related to Carlisle Cullen who happens to be one of my dad’s bosses and also wonder how she knew my name.

“Ye-Yes” I answered.

Before I could ask her how she knew my name, she answered the question for me.

“My friends Rose and Emmett told me about you and asked me if I see you in any of my classes then to help you out and show you around. I already know that we are going to best friends so I will be happy to be your tour guide,” she said without taking a breath.

I laughed already liking this energetic girl. I can also see us been friends and I am so happy that she is willing to help me.

“Thank you so much Alice. You have no idea how grateful I am that you are willing to show me around. I already got lost 3 times this morning.”

She was about to answer me when Mr Banner interrupted.

“Miss Swan, Miss Cullen. Would it be too much trouble to ask you both to pay attention in my class? Don’t you think I would prefer to be gossiping with my friends right now instead of teaching English,” he joked.

We both laughed but decided not to say another word for the next 45 minutes. The second that the bell rang, we grabbed hold of our books and practically ran out of the classroom. 

We went to my locker so that I could put away my books while Alice checked to see what classes that we have together.

“It seems like we have only English and gym together. Your next class is math and mine is biology. She showed me to my math class and told me that she would save me a seat at lunch before she went to biology. I walked into the class and again introduced myself to the new teacher who is Miss Wallace.

I looked around to find an empty seat and was relieved to find several. I went over to an empty desk and put my books down on the table. A few minutes later Baywatch Barbie walked in with two more who could be poster girls for plastic surgery. She looked over at me and gave me another one of her death glares while continuing to talk to her two friends. She started pointing over at me and I was about to go over and shove her finger up her ass when another girl sat down next to me.

“Hi, you must be new here. My name is Angela,” she introduced.

I looked at her and smiled.

“Yeah I am. My name is Bella Swan.”

I looked over to the three bimbos and then turned to Angela.

“Who are they?” I asked.

She looked over at whom I was talking about.

“The one with the long strawberry hair is Tanya. She is co caption of the cheerleading squad, queen bee of this school and she is dating the quarterback of the football team. The two with her are Lauren and Jessica her two sidekicks. They usually do all her dirty work.”

I nodded and turned around to face the teacher. My mind was going into over drive. Was the green-eyed boy that captured my heart only this morning her boyfriend and quarterback of the football team? If so then it is best to forget him now. I do not want to make any enemies in this school. Besides he would never be interested in plain old me when he has Baywatch Barbie by his side.

The rest of the morning flew by and lunchtime finally arrived. I walked with Angela to the cafeteria and looked around to see if I could find Alice. I finally found her sitting at the far end with Rose and Emmett.

I asked Angela if she wanted to sit with us but she declined explaining that she usually sits with her boyfriend ben and his friends.

I went up to get my lunch when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to find Jasper grinning goofy at me.

“Hey belles. How was your morning,” he grinned.

I continued to go up the lunch line without answering him. I decided to ignore him every time he uses that nickname on me.

I paid for my food and walked toward the lunch table. Jasper was quick to catch up.

“OK Bella, I won’t call you by that nickname anymore. Just please don’t ignore me sis,” he pouted.

I could not help but laugh at him. He always was a goof ball.

We sat down and Alice started hitting me in the leg while she was looking over at Jasper. She gave me a pleading look asking me to introduce her.

“Jazz, this is Alice Cullen. Alice this is my twin brother Jasper,” I introduced.

They looked at each other with lust and longing in their eyes.

She finally tore her eyes away to start talking to me.

“I can’t believe you’re a twin. So am I. As a matter of a fact here he comes now,” she gushed.

She looked toward a tall shadow standing behind me.

“Bella, I would like you to meet my twin brother Edward. Edward this is my new best friend Bella,” she said.

I turned to look at shadow behind me and for the second time today my vocal cords would not work when I looked into the green emerald eyes that I love and cannot stop thinking about. 

Chapter 2

EPOV

Beep Beep Beep

I groaned as I turned over to turn off the alarm next to my bed. The last thing that I wanted to do right now was to get up and go to school.

I was having such an amazing dream. I was about to take Megan Fox from behind in the shower. I groaned as I thought about it while I put my hand over my morning wood making quick work of getting rid of it.

Knock knock

“Wakey wakey rise and shine brother. It is six thiry. Time to get up,” called the annoying pixie also known as my twin sister, Alice.

“Bye erection. I will see you later,” I groaned as I got up out of bed and went to take a shower.

Thirty minutes later I was washed, dressed and ready to start the day, after breakfast that is.  I went into the kitchen and was about to pour myself a glass of orange juice when my cell phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and rolled my eyes as I answered it.

“Hello Tanya,” I groaned.

“Well hello to you too Eddie,” she purred.

“Cut the shit Tanya and tell me what you want,” I sighed.

“Loving boyfriend as always Eddie,” she said sarcastically.

I was about to tell her to fuck off and that I would see her at school when she continued.

 “As a matter of fact the reason why I am ringing is because my car won’t start up. I need my sexy, wonderful boyfriend to pick me up for school,” she continued to purr.

I did not even have time to think before I told her that I would be there for her in fifteen minutes.

I hung up the phone before she could say another word and pinched the bridge of my nose.

Fuck that girl is more trouble than she is worth, I thought.

Sometimes I do not even like the girl. I am only with her because it is customary for the quarterback of the football team and the head cheerleader to be the IT couple at school I enjoy my popularity too much to break up with her. The only times we really go out on dates is for pizza after a game or when there is a party or dance happening. I know that she is only with me for the same reason. Sometimes I wonder if there is another girl out there for me. Recently, I started dreaming about a girl with thick silky mahogany hair, big brown chocolate eyes, pale luminous skin, , who is only a little taller than Alice and a body that just would not quit. Now that is my dream girl, if only I found a girl like that, I would make sure that she never got away.

“But of course a girl like that would never exist”, I thought to myself.

I got up from the table, grabbed my wallet, keys, and cell phone before heading to the door.

“Ali, I am leaving so if you want a lift to school then you’d better be at the car in ten seconds or I am leaving without you,” I yelled from the front door.

She came running down the stairs, dressed in the latest fashion of course and with the biggest smile on her face. Her cheerfulness is so contagious.

“What may I ask, my dear twin sister has you grinning so much this morning?” I chuckled.

She continued to grin at me as she spoke.

“I do not know my darling twin brother. I just have a feeling that today our lives are going to change for the better,” she grinned.

Alice and her feelings. There is one thing I always made sure of and that is to never bet against Alice and her feelings because they always come true.

She jumped into the passenger seat next to me and I did not have the heart to tell her to get in the back because I was picking up Tanya. Fuck that shit. If Tanya does not want to sit in the back then she can bus it. I laugh at the thought of Tanya sitting on a bus with a load of band geeks and nerds.

If there is, one thing that always gets rid of Alice’s good mood it is Tanya. The two of them are like fire and ice. They cannot stand each other, despite the fact that they are both on the cheerleading squad. Alice was humming away to a tune on the radio when her cell phone rang. She answered it still humming.

“Hello” she answered.

I pulled up outside of Tanya’s house and beeped the horn twice to let her I was here and waiting. She walked out to the car swinging her hips from side to side with her strawberry hair falling loose down her back wearing the shortest mini skirt and a tank top at least two sizes too small. She was obviously trying to show off her new breasts that daddy paid for. She was trying to look sexy but what she does not know is that I would prefer to have a girl who is natural with no plastic to grab onto. I wish I could tell her that it puts me off her when she acts like this. It is for this reason alone that I am still a virgin, even though I was with Tanya for two years. Trust me, it is not without trying on her behalf but I would prefer to make love to someone beautiful and natural when the time comes. For a second my dream brown eyed angel comes into my head and I have to choke back a groan.

“Eddie, can you please tell your sister to get into the back seat so that we can leave,” she whined.

Alice looked at her while still talking on her cell phone and gave her the finger to show that she was not going anywhere. 

I sighed while running my fingers through my hair and pulling at it.

“Tanya, if you want a ride to school then you will have to get into the back seat. Otherwise the bus will be along shortly,” I mumbled looking over at the bus stop.

She looked at me as if I was crazy.

“Eddie, I am the head cheerleader and queen bee of the school. How will it look if I arrive at school in the back seat of my boyfriend’s car,” she whined.

I continued to pull my hair in frustration.

“Tanya the only thing that I care about right now is getting to school, so like I said it is either the back seat or the bus. You have five seconds to decide.” I growled.

She continued to stand her ground trying to call my bluff. After waiting a minute to see if she got in the car, I turned the key in the ignition and went to pull out of the driveway. She huffed and got in the back seat pouting.

Alice finally got off the phone and put on my Kings of Leon cd only because she knew that Tanya could not stand them.

“Who was that on the phone?” I asked.

She looked over at me with a glint in her eyes.

“That was Rose. She was letting me know that Emmett’s new neighbors are starting school today and asked  if I saw the girl in any of my classes, that I help her out because according to Rose she is very shy,” she said.

Tanya did not say anything up until this point and decided now to open her trap.

“So there’s a new girl starting today? I should go to her and let her know how everything works around here,” she said smugly.

I looked at her with fury flashing in my eyes.

“For fuck’s sake Tanya. At least let the girl get settled into her new school without you telling her what to do,” I snapped.

I finally pulled in to the school parking lot and parked next to Emmett’s car. Emmett McCarthy is my best friend, I think of him like a brother. Come to think about it he did tell me a week ago, that he made friends with his new neighbour who was about our age and he had a twin sister. I cannot wait to meet them, it will be good to meet new people. Alice, Tanya and I got out of the car. As soon as I locked the car I started walking towards the school entrance ignoring Tanya shouting after me. I was walking towards my locker deep in thought when I bumped into someone. She fell on her backside and covered her face with her hands in embarrassment. I tried to keep in the laughter when I offered my hand to help her onto her feet. She took my hand and got up off the floor. I was about to ask her if she was all right when she looked me in the eyes and suddenly it was as if time stopped.

Looking back at me were the beautiful chocolate brown eyes that I have been dreaming about. She had a heart shaped face and beautiful pale silky looking skin. Her long mahogany hair went as far as her waist and she was petite with a stunning figure. She was the girl from my dreams and was even more exquisite in life. I so badly wanted to kiss her, to bury my face in her beautiful long hair, to touch her skin.

I needed to know this girl, no matter what. She was the girl I have been waiting all my life for. I never believed in love at first sight before but I certainly believe in it now.

She continued to look at me as if she was waiting for me to say something.

“Err- Are y-you al-alright?” I mumbled, not knowing what else to say to this beautiful creature. She nodded yes and we continued to look into each other’s eyes completely forgetting everyone and everything around us.

I was forced back to reality when I heard the most annoying voice in existence.

“Eddie, there you are. Come on we are going to be late for class,” Tanya squealed. I shook my head to get out of the daze I was in and groaned at the thought of leaving my dream girl to be with my girlfriend. She started throwing daggers at my brown-eyed angel and I was immediately angry that she would be like that. I did not trust myself to speak so I grabbed Tanya by the arm and dragged her away. I quickly came to my senses, stopped after taking a few steps, and looked back at my angel, with my crooked smile. She smiled back at me and I felt like my heart was about to beat out of my chest.

I walked towards my Auto shop class with Tanya following closely at my heels. She finally caught up with me when I arrived at the classroom. Her face looked so hard that it could cut glass.

“What was going on with that girl, Eddie?” she sneered.

I looked at everything around me but her, not wanting to taint the picture; I had in my head of my beautiful brown-eyed girl.

“She fell. I was only  helping her up,” I answered innocently.

Tanya looked like she was going to blow a fuse. I know that if pisses her off that I will not sleep with her, she still tries to use every trick in the book to get me into bed. I would not put it past her to start using blackmail.

“Bull shit Eddie, I saw the way that you were both looking at each other. If I see you anywhere near her again then I will ruin you,” she said smugly.

She turned to leave but not before I grabbed hold of her arm and squeezed tightly.

“Don’t threaten me Tanya. You best remember that I know all about your flings with some of the football team. If you threaten me again I will make it public knowledge before I dump your ass,” I spat with a touch of venom.

I turned to walk into the classroom leaving Tanya standing there with her mouth wide open.

~*~HS~*~

The rest of the morning went fast enough, I even met the new guy Jasper in Trig the last class before lunch. He seems like a good guy.

He told me that he made friends with Emmett and I told him that Emmett was a good guy and my best friend. I asked him to come sit with us at the lunch table but explained about how he must check up on his twin sister and make sure that she was all right before he made any decisions. I really respected that in a person, the fact that he is looking out for his twin and making sure that no harm comes to her. I feel the exact same way about Alice.

As we walked into the cafeteria together he looked towards the lunch line and his face lit up.

I looked over where he was looking and suddenly forgot how to breathe. With her back to me and her hair, flowing down her back was my beautiful brown-eyed girl.

“Edward, dude. Are you still with us?” Jasper laughed.

I shook my head trying to get out of my daze. I do not know what kind of spell this girl has on me but she can bewitch me anytime.

“Err, yeah, sorry,” I mumbled.

Jasper continued to laugh at my expression.

“Well, I have just found my sister so I will see you in a while,” he said.

I barely noticed him leaving because I was too fixated on the perfection of the angel’s back. That was until I saw Jasper go over to her and put his arm around her.

It then hit me, this was Jasper’s sister. I could not be happier than right now knowing that I made friends with my angel’s brother.

She walked away, totally ignoring her brother and I had to laugh at the sheepish look on Jasper’s face.

She finally gave in and laughed at him before sitting down next to my sister.

“This is perfect. She is also friends with my twin sister,” I thought happily.

After picking up a slice of pizza and some fruit, I walked over to where they are all sitting. I stood behind her as I heard her speak for the first time.

 “Jazz, this is Alice Cullen. Alice this is my twin brother Jasper,” she introduced them.

Oh my god, even her voice sounds perfect. It sounds like angels singing.

Of course, my sister’s voice had to interrupt my thoughts.

“I can’t believe you’re a twin. So am I. As a matter of a fact here he comes now,” she gushed.

She looked up at me.

“Bella, I would like you to meet my twin brother Edward. Edward this is my new best friend Bella,” she introduced.

The only thing I could think of as she looked up at me with her big beautiful chocolate brown eyes is how fitting her name is. Bella means beautiful in Italian and she is certainly beautiful.

She smiles at me and I immediately notice that her smile goes straight to her eyes and makes them sparkle.

“Hi Edward, it is so nice to meet you,” she said. Her voice sounds like music to my ears.

“Nice to meet you too, Bella,” I answered purring her name. Her face went tomato red and she turned away from me in embarrassment. I could not have that, she should never have to hide her beautiful face.

I sat on the other side of her, put my finger under her chin and lifted her face so that her eyes would meet mine.

“There is no need to be bashful, Bella. I would never want you to hide from me,” I cooed.

We continued to get lost in each other’s eyes until someone cleared their throat. As I looked around the table to see who interrupted the most intense moment of my life, I noticed that everybody at the table was not only looking at Bella and me but also at the person standing behind us.

The bane of my existence.   

Tanya.

She looked down at us, her face red with fury. She looked like she was going to explode at any moment. When she looked at me with a sweet smile, I knew that she was up to something. She bent down and gave me a big wet kiss. I could not push her away because, after all, she is my girlfriend. But at the same time, I felt sick at the thought of Bella witnessing this.

This is Tanya in Technicolor marking her territory. She pulled back and looked at Bella with a smug smile on her face.

“Hi, I do not believe that we have met. I am Tanya, Eddie’s girlfriend. And you are?” she sneered.

Bella looked like she was close to tears and I wanted nothing more than to put my arms around her to show Tanya where my heart lay, but my angel showed herself to be the bigger person, stood up and put her hands out to Tanya.

“My name is Bella, it is nice to meet you,” she said weakly.

Tanya looked down at Bella’s hand as if it was diseased and spoke instead.

“Well Becky, for future reference, remember that the seat you are sitting in is my seat and any seat next to my boyfriend is off limits to anyone but me,” she spat her voice dripping with venom.

Bella looked like she was barely holding herself together as she ran from the cafeteria. 

Tanya sat down in Bella’s vacant chair and started eating as if nothing happened. Alice gave her a look of complete loathing and disgust before running after Bella  Jasper going followed her closely behind but not before he said a few words to Tanya.

“Hey, I do not know you and I do not want to know you. But if you ever speak to my sister like that again I may just forget how to be a gentleman and teach you a lesson that you will never forget,” he spat.

Tanya looked at him with her mouth wide open.

“Who do you think you are to speak to me like that?” she spat. She looked at me and gave me her pouty look.

“Eddie, are you going to let him talk to me like that?” she whined.

I really had to keep my laughter in because she really sounded pathetic when she whined like that.

“Not only am I going to let him talk to you like that but I will join in with him if you ever hurt that girl again. Remember this Tanya. We may be dating each other but I am not your property. I am my own man and whom I sit and talk to is my business,” I smirked.

I walked out of the cafeteria with Jasper. Anger was practically coming off me in waves.

We stopped to find Alice and Bella coming out of the ladies room. Bella’s eyes looked all red and fluffy but she was still beautiful to me. She looked over at me with sadness written all over her face. It was then and there that I knew of three things.

1.      I need to breakup  with Tanya and get her out of my life

2.      I will do everything in my power to make sure that Bella is mine.

3.      I am unconditionally and irrevocably in love with Bella Swan

I walked over to her and gently wiped away a tear that had fallen from her eyes with my thumb before placing the palm of my hand over her right cheek. The bell for class rang, interrupting our moment. I looked at my sister and it seemed like she and Jasper were having a moment of their own.

I did not bother to interrupt them  instead I turned to Bella.

“I better get to class, so err, I will see you later,” I mumbled. I went to walk towards biology but I stopped and turned around.

“And tell the love birds to get a move on,” I grinned. She looked at me and gave me a big smile. I love the way her smile reflects in her eyes and lights up her entire face.

I walked into biology and went toward my seat. I was the only one in this class who had a table to myself.

Two seconds later Jessica fucking Stanley came and sat in the chair beside me.

“Hi Eddieeeee,” she purred.

I rolled my eyes at what she thought was seductive.

“Jessica, my name is Edward, not Eddie,” I answered.

“Oh Eddie you are so funny,” she giggled.

I looked over at her and sighed.

“Jessica, unless you have something else to say to me then would you mind going back to your seat?”

“Well Eddie, I was wondering if you could give me a ride home after Cheerleading practice. Lauren drove me this morning and she has a dentist appointment,” she pouted.

She put her hand on my thigh dangerously close to my Junk; my traitor of a cock just had to stand at attention while she placed her lips on my ear.

“I will make it worth your while,” she purred into my ear.

 I tried very hard not to throw up in my mouth.  I turned towards her and took her hand off my thigh.

“Sorry Jessica. I’m not interested and even if I was, I’m busy,” I snapped.

She huffed and stormed back over to her own seat as I sighed in relief.

Once she was back in her seat and staying there I relaxed while we waited for Mr Phelan to start class. The next thing I heard was the sweetest voice in existence.

“Hi again. Our biology teacher told me to sit here,” she whispered shyly.

I looked up at her thinking that I was the luckiest bastard in the world. Not only is the most beautiful girl in the world in my class but she is also going to be sitting next to me for the rest of the year.

“Welcome to the wonderful world of biology, Bella. I am Edward Cullen and I will be your partner in crime for the year,” I joked.

She giggled at my little joke and I swear it was almost as if I could hear angels singing.

She looked at me with her big brown eyes and continued to giggle.

“Hi, I am Isabella Swan and I am happy to be your partner in crime this year.”

I could not say another word as Mr Phelan started class. I zoned out and could not even tell you what he was saying. I was too enchanted with the beauty sitting next to me.

Next thing I knew  Bella was nudging me.

I looked at her and she nodded towards the teacher.

“Mr Cullen, when you are ready can you please join us back here in the land of the living,” Mr Phelan joked.

Everyone laughed and I looked down at my lap in embarrassment.

Mr Phelan continued talking and I zoned out again until he started talking about lab projects and lab partners.

“I decided that this project should be done by a team of two, one boy, one girl. Could everyone stand in straight line, boys on one side and girls on the other?”

I got up and walked over to the table that Mr Phelan pointed us to. In front of us was a box with little pieces of paper in them.  The girls stood in front of another table with a similar box on its surface.

Mr Phelan continued to explain that each box contained numbers. Whatever the number was that we pulled out, we would be partnered with the person who had the same number. I noticed Jessica fucking Stanley looking at me longingly. All I could do was pray that I would not pull the same number as her.  When it was my turn, I put my hand in the box and took out a piece of paper. I walked over to Bella and gave her my crooked smile. I noticed that Jessica was annoyed that I ignored her and was glaring at Bella hatefully.

“So what number did you get?” I asked hopefully.

She looked at the paper in her hand and then looked at me.

“Number four. What number did you get?” she asked shyly.

I opened my little piece of paper praying for the number I want. My prayers are answered when I say the big red four written on the piece of paper. I looked at her and grinned.

“Number four,” I answered happily.

Her face went as red as a tomato and she looked so fucking beautiful at this moment.

“So it looks like we are partners,” I continued to grin.

Before she could say another word the bell rang. She looked at me and smiled.

“Yeah, I guess we are,” she said and left the classroom. 

“This was my chance, I’m going to be the best lab partner that she will ever have, I am going to breakup with Tanya and make Isabella Swan mine,” I thought to myself as I watched her walk away from me.

Chapter 3

BPOV

I was on cloud nine as I skipped down the corridor, my heart bursting with joy. All I wanted to do at that moment was to start screaming from the rooftops

“I AM EDWARD CULLEN’S BIOLOGY PARTNER AND I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER ABOUT IT”.

I walked into gym class, but my good mood quickly evaporated the second I saw Tanya standing there with two more Baywatch bimbos glaring at me. Luckily, Alice came over to me and started talking before I could burst into tears.  She was talking about something, but I did not even hear a word that she was saying. Coach Knapp called us to order and split us into teams. Since I was the new girl, he suggested that I sit this one out and simply observe, which I was incredibly grateful to do.

Finally, after sitting there watching everyone playing netball for the past forty-five minutes, Coach Knapp dismissed us and everyone ran for the locker room to shower and dress. When I got up to wait for Alice outside the gym doors I was stopped by none other than the head Baywatch Barbie herself.

She stood there staring down at me with a look of anger, hatred and loathing.

“Hello newbie, we meet again,” she sneered.

I did not want to finish my first day in a new school with a row so I decided to be polite to the queen bitch.

“It’s Bella,” I said politely.

She looked me up and down, then sneered

“Like it matters,” she spat.

She stepped closer to me, until she was right in my face.

“I have only one fucking thing to say to you, Newbie. Stay away from my Edward. He is mine and he does not want trash like you. He would not want to be with someone like you when he has someone like me to cuddle up to,” she hissed, her voice laced with venom.

She had begun to turn and walk away to join her two followers when I shouted after her, not knowing where the courage was coming from.

“That would be hard to do knowing that we are in fact biology partners.”

She turned around, her eyes flashing with anger.

“Do not test me slut. If you know what is good for you, you will find a way to get a new biology partner. My Eddie would not want to spend his free time studying with the likes of you.”

She walked back over to me and continued,

“You are nothing and you will always be nothing. My Eddie would never look at you twice,” she snickered.

“If that is true then why do you feel so threatened by me,” I smirked.

She opened her mouth, surprised that I had actually spoken back, but she quickly recovered.

“Like I said, do not test me newbie. You are just a small duck in a large pond. Nobody will notice you, I suggest that you do what I say, find a new biology partner and leave my Eddie alone. You will regret it if you do not. And do not think that getting all cosy with his twin sister will help you either. I can eat you up and then spit you out,” she spat before leaving the gym with her two sidekicks.

I fell down on my knees, put my face into my hands and sobbed.

I barely felt as a pair of strong arms wrapped around me, holding me close. I continued to cry, not caring what was going on around me.

I did not even know how much time went by I could just barely hear voices talking around me.

“Calm done love, everything will be alright,” Edward cooed into my ear. I looked up at him with my eyes watery, tears falling down my cheeks. He gave me a heart-breaking smile before looking over at his sister.

“What happened? Why is she like this?” he asked Alice.

Alice looked heartbroken as she shrugged her shoulders.

“I do not know Edward. I was in the locker room changing after gym and she was going to wait for me outside. When I came in through the gym doors looking for her Tanya was just leaving and Bella was like this,” she sniffed.

Edward growled and said something like I am going to cut the bitch when I get my hands on her.

I suddenly felt myself being picked up and carried away. I looked up into the emerald eyes that I had fallen in love with and smiled at the beauty of him.

He looked down at me and gave me his crooked grin.

“What, may I ask, has you smiling so beautifully,” he grinned.

Damn. Queue the wet panties. This guy is going to be the death of me.

“Let me down, I can walk. I do have legs you know,” I smiled up at him.

He walked out the front doors of the school and stopped in front of a silver Volvo s60.

“And what sexy legs they are Miss Swan, but I am not letting you go until we are at my house,” he laughed as he gave me that sexy grin again.

He opened the passenger door and helped me into the car while Alice got in the back seat. Edward was about to get in when I thought about Jasper. I looked around the parking lot and found it practically deserted. God only knows how long I was sitting on the gym floor, crying my eyes out. Remembering what happened suddenly brought a fresh batch of tears to my eyes.

Edward put his arms around my shoulder and tried to shush me. When I had calmed down again, he started the engine and pulled out of the parking lot.

I looked back at Alice

“Alice, Jasper will be looking for me. Neither one of us know anyone here. He will be wondering where I am,” I sighed.

“Do not worry about Jasper. As a matter of fact he got a ride home with Emmett and Rosalie and asked if I could wait for you and drop you off at home,” she smirked like the evil little pixie that she is.

I looked over at Edward he looked so pissed and angry that he frightened me. I felt like the tears were making a comeback and I tried very hard to keep them in.

Finally, he pulled up outside a beautiful three-story mansion. It looked like somewhere the prince would bring Cinderella home to. I looked at both Edward and Alice in awe.

“You both live here,” I asked, with my mouth wide open.  

Edward looked at me with his crooked grin that makes me go weak at the knees and nodded his head. Alice was out of the car and in the house so quickly that she never even heard me.

He took my books from me and walked me in to his home. I stopped the very second I walked in the door, completely stunned. The house was beautiful, it was so bright and open. I looked to the left where there was a curved, floating glass and wood staircase and elevator. I looked up at the ceiling, the sunlight was shining through the skylights. I was completely in awe of this home and wondered what I would have to do in order to have Alice or Edward invite me here more often.

“Ahem”

I looked over at Edward to find him watching me in amusement.

“Do you want to go into the living room and talk,” he asked nervously. I nodded yes and he showed me the way. The room could easily fit our new living room, kitchen and my bedroom in it.

I looked around, suddenly afraid to enter the room and sit on the white leather sofa. Alice was already sitting on the love seat, waiting for me, while Edward took me by the hand and held it in his.

“Hey, are you alright love,” he smirked.

I slowly nodded as we made our way over to the couch. I sat down with Edward taking the seat next to me. He put his fingers under my chin and tilted my head up to meet his eyes.

“Bella, what happened in the gym? We know that it has something to do with Tanya, but we do not know what she did. Will you please tell us,” he pleaded.

I looked from him to Alice with tears in my eyes. Alice sat there looking nearly as worried about me as Edward was, so I told them everything that had happened with Tanya in the gym.  I looked at Edward and noticed that his eyes shifted from emerald to black with fury.

He stood up, grabbed his cell from the coffee table and ran out of the living room. When I looked over at Alice, I could not keep the tears in anymore and I broke out in full-blown sobs. Alice was next to me in a flash, her arms wrapped around me as she, tried to calm me down.

All of a sudden we heard Edward shouting and yelling in the hallway.

“I do not give two shits Tanya. That kind of shit does not sit well with me. You had no right saying that I could or could not be friends with Bella.”

He paused while he listened to her on the other end of the phone.

“You really want to talk about sluts Tanya? Take a good long look at yourself in the mirror and remember whom you are friends with. Those two bitches that you call friends are the biggest whores in Mason High.”

I opened the door a crack and saw him standing there with his cell in one hand, pulling at his hair with the other as his beautiful green eyes flashed with anger.

“Tanya, I am going to say this once and only once. Stay away from my friend. If I find you or your two slutty sidekicks going near her, we are going to have more problems than we already do,” he snapped before hanging up his cell.

He put both hands on the wall in front of him as he tried to calm down, breathing deeply in and out. I opened the door fully, walked out and put my right hand on his back, drawing large circles with my index finger. He turned so that he could look at me, his eyes changing from anger to lust. I tried to control my breathing but it was hard to do.

He put his left hand on my face and started brushing my cheek with his thumb, his eyes never leaving mine.

Someone clearing his or her throat knocked us both out of our daze.

We dragged our eyes away from each other and looked over at an amused Alice.

“I am going over to visit with Jasper, we would like to get to know each other better. So I was wondering Bella, would you like a ride home,” she asked while giggling.

Edward looked at Alice with frustration written all over his face.  

“Do not bother your pixie looking self. Bella and I are going to work on our Biology project so I will give her a ride home later,” he smirked.

My heart skipped a beat at the thought of being alone with Edward for an hour or two.

Alice gave a little chuckle and walked out the door. Edward looked at me with longing.

“Do you want something to drink or eat before we go up to my room to study?”

“Surprise me,” I smiled. His crooked grin lite up his face and his eyes sparkled. He told me where to go and that he would follow me up.  I went up to the third floor and walked into the second room on the left.

To say that I was surprised at the way his room was is an understatement. I was expecting a bedroom filled with posters of football teams and cheerleaders on the wall, maybe even playboy magazines on the bed. Instead it was so bright and clean. just like the rest of the house. There were all kinds of music on the shelves and a thirty-two inch flat wide screen, wired with cinema sound at the end of his king size bed.

Suddenly I felt like I was been watched so I turned around and there was Edward, watching me, his arms filled with cans of soda and chocolate bars.

“My room not what you expected Miss Swan?” he smirked.

I grinned at him as I looked through his CD collection. I pulled out one by Claude Debussy. I looked at him and raised my eyebrows, silently asking him if he really listened to this kind of music. He took the CD out of my hands and loaded it into the CD player. The soft music of Clair De Lune filled the room and he looked into my eyes as he took my hands in his.

“Dance with me,” he whispered.

I nodded no, telling him that I could not dance, but he would not take no for an answer as he took me into his arms, lifted me up and gently put me down on top of his feet. He moved around with such ease while holding me close to him. My heart almost stopped beating when I noticed him looking from my eyes to my lips as I copied his motions. We slowly tilted our heads towards each other, our eyes never leaving the other’s lips. My heart was almost beating out of my chest at the thought of receiving my first kiss from this green-eyed god.

Edward’s breathing became irregular when his lips were just an inch away from mine.

“You are so beautiful Bella,” he whispered as his soft lips gently touched mine. Words could not describe the feeling but at that moment everything felt right, I felt complete.

I kissed him back as if my life depended on it. I opened my mouth to give him access and he deepened the kiss. His hands slowly descended to my waist and he pulled me marginally closer to him. Suddenly his lips started moving faster and our tongues danced together. It was the most erotic moment of my life. I knew then and there that even though I had only known him for one day, I had fallen in love with him I wanted him to be mine but I knew that he could not. He stopped kissing my lips and slowly moved to my neck, his lips never left my skin. We continued making out with the beautiful music of Claude Debussy playing. He slowly pulled away and looked into my eyes. All I could see was pure, unadulterated lust as he breathed heavily.

“Bella, you are so beautiful. I know that we only met today but there is something there between us. I do not know what it is but what I do know is that I want and need to be with you. Please tell me that you feel the same way,” he whimpered nervously.

I looked up at him with tears falling from my eyes as I thought of Tanya. Here I was, in the arms of my dream guy, he was telling me that he wanted me but I knew that he belonged to someone else.

He lifted his hand to my cheek and gently whipped my tears away. He continued to hold me in his arms as he walked backwards towards his bed. I felt like I was in a dream when I laid down on his bed and held my arms out, silently asking him to join me.

“If this is all that we have then we need to make the most of it,” I said quietly. He gave me his sexy crooked smile as he laid down next to me, pulled me into his arms and smashed his lips against mine. I opened my mouth to invite his tongue in, which he willingly accepted. I moaned, softly, but it was enough to convince him to keep going. He continued to kiss me as our tongues wrestled with each other. His hand went to the buttons of my blouse and opened them one by one, starting from the top. His mouth left my lips and made its way down my collarbone. He continued giving me butterfly kisses there as he opened the last of my buttons and took my blouse off. He opened my white lace bra with one hand and took it off ,revealing my thirty-four C breasts to his gaze. His mouth went to my right nipple while he palmed my left breast. He sucked and nibbled on it before switching to my left nipple while palming my right breast.

“Oh Edward,” I whimpered as he continued to assault my breasts.

“Bella…so beautiful…so sweet…I cannot get enough,” he groaned.

He rubbed his rock hard cock into my soaking wet sex and suddenly I was scared. I pulled away and got up off the bed. How did I go from getting my first kiss from Edward too heavily making out with him? True, he was the man of my dreams, but he also had a girlfriend. His girlfriend who happens to be a bitch and can make life difficult for me.

“Bella? Are you alright babe?” he asked with a frown on his gorgeous face.

Tears started to make a comeback as he continued to look at me.

“I’m sorry Edward. This is all my fault. This shouldn’t have happened,” I whimpered. I put on my bra and just as I was about to put my blouse on he rested his hand on top of mine, to stopping my movements.

“Don’t be sorry Bella, I’m not. I wanted this to happen. I couldn’t think of anything else but kissing you since we bumped into each other this morning,” he said, his voice all soft and velvety.

I looked down at his hand on top of mine and felt electric sparks going through my entire being. I then looked into his eyes, he looked so sad and hurt. I could feel a fresh flood of tears falling from my eyes as I continued to look at him.

“I am sorry Edward but this is not fair to anyone. You are with Tanya and I am not the kind of girl who is your bit on the side. Besides, we were going too fast. You just gave me my first kiss, than you had my bra and blouse off before suddenly you were kissing and touching my breasts. If we continued this I probably would have had your cock in my mouth by dinner time,” I joked, trying to make light of the situation. 

The look on his face went from sad and hurt, to confusion, shifting quickly to happy, and finally too cocky all in the matter of seconds.

“So, I am your first Kiss huh,” he smirked.

He got up off the bed, stood in front of me and brushed his index finger down my right cheek.

“Do you know how sexy it is that I am the first guy to kiss you, the first guy to be with you like that? I am so hard right now and I want you even more than I did earlier, if that is even possible,” he said seductively.

He leaned in, putting his arms around my waist.

“I also want to be your second kiss, your third, fourth and every single one after that,” he whispered before he softly pressed his lips to mine. I tried to pull away but he would not let go. I gave up, groaned at the contact, dropped my blouse on the floor and fisted my hands in his hair, pulling hard.

“Yeah, that’s right baby. Pull it harder,” he growled against my lips.

His hands went down to my ass and pulled me closer to him, so close that I could feel his rock hard cock against my leggings covered soaking wet sex. My hand went to the fly of his jeans. I was about to open the zipper and free his cock when there was a knock of his bedroom door. He growled as he involuntary left me go. I quickly threw my blouse on.

He looked me in the eyes with unquenchable lust in his eyes before he shouted

“Yeah come in.”

The door opened and in walked Jasper with Alice. My eyes went wide in surprise at seeing my twin brother standing there with my new friend. Alice looked from me to Edward with a big wide grin on her face.

“Hey, what have you two been up too,” she asked, her smile getting wider.

Edward did not get the chance to say anything before Jasper came over to me and put his arms around me.

“Alice told me what happened. Are you alright sis,” he asked with a concerned tone.

I nodded as I smiled weakly at him. My head is still foggy due to what Edward and I had just been doing moments ago. I noticed that Alice was simply standing there holding Jasper’s hand while grinning like a fool. She did not get the chance to explain what she was grinning about because her mother shouted for her and Edward to bring their friends down for dinner.

I looked at Edward, he was looking at me with his cocky grin before he took my hand and walked me down to the dining room to meet his parents.

I walked into the dining room to find a stunningly beautiful woman with long caramel hair and Edward’s emerald eyes bringing food to the table.  Edward pushed me in front of him and put his arms around my waist.

“Mother, this is Isabella Swan. She just moved to LA from London and started at Mason High today with her twin brother. Bella, this is my mother Esme Cullen,” he introduced. I put my hand out to shake hers but she ignored it, threw her arms around me and gave me a motherly hug instead.

“It is wonderful to meet you Isabella. Such a lovely and beautiful girl as well,” she cooed.

“Thank you Mrs Cullen and please call me Bella. May I help you?” I smiled.

She shook her head.

“No thank you my dear. Everything is ready and please, call me Esme. Mrs Cullen makes me feel so old,” she said as she walked back into the kitchen.

Five minutes later Alice and Jasper came down the stairs. Alice’s clothes looked dishevelled, her lips all swollen from been truly kissed and Jasper had a sheepish look on his face. I shook my head to get rid of the images that came to mind. Just then, Esme walked in with the salad and garlic bread and to place them on the table. Alice quickly introduced her mother to Jasper.  Just as she did with me she ignored his hand and threw her arms around him to give him a hug instead, telling him to call her Esme. She told us all to sit down while she brought in the lasagne. She dished out a generous amount to all of us before sitting down herself. Before she could say a word, the front door slammed and in walked a beauiful man with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was definately a DILF.

He walked over to Esme and gave her a sweet kiss on the cheek before sitting down at the head of the table. He looked around and smiled.

“So, I see a few new faces at the table that I have never seen before. Is anybody going to introduce me?”

Edward looked at me while Alice looked at Jasper. After what seemed like five minutes of silence, Esme finally spoke.

“Carlisle, these are Edward and Alice’s new friends, Jasper and Bella Swan. They only just moved to LA and started today at Mason High,” she said as she put a large piece of lasagne in front of him.

Carlisle looked from me to Jasper and continued to smile.

“Did you say your last name is Swan?”

Jasper and I nodded before he continued.

“Our new lawyer whom started just last week is Charlie Swan. He just moved here from England he is a good man and excellent lawyer. He should make his way up to been a partner in no time. I take it that Charlie is your father?”

I smiled to myself, remembering that Alice and Edward’s last name is the same as the law firm that my father recently started working for.

“Yeah he is. I remembered earlier when I spoke to Alice that she had the same last name as the law firm that daddy started working for. I thought that it was just a coincidence,” I smiled.

I then remembered something that left a very sour taste in my mouth.

“The name of your law firm is called Cullen & Denali. Would that be correct?”

Carlisle nodded yes while taking a mouthful of lasagne. I looked at Edward with fear bubbling in my stomach.

“Is Tanya’s last name Denali,” I asked him hoping that I was wrong.

He whimpered yes, looking nervous.

Tears came to my eyes as I continued to look at him.

“Is she the daughter of your dad’s partner and my dad’s boss?”

He looked at me and went to stroke my cheek but thought better before speaking.

“Bella, I didn’t know but it doesn’t make a difference,” he whispered, knowing what I was thinking.

Tears started falling down my face thinking that this girl could make my life hell if she knew what happened between Edward and I and the fact that her father was my father’s boss would not help matters.

I got up off the chair and looked at Jasper silently asking him if we could leave. I know that we do not have our California driving licences yet, so he asked Alice if he could drive us home. She nodded while I hugged Esme and thanked her for dinner. She smiled at me and told me that I was welcome here any time. I thanked Carlisle before walking out the door with Jasper and getting into her car.

I could faintly hear a frantic Edward calling after me as we drove away.

 My tears turned into full-blown sobs, knowing that I had just given my whole heart to a boy I had known only one day and that even if I wanted to I would never get it back.
