Twilight End of Chapter 1

So after the awkward conversation in the car with Charlie, Bella finally gets to her new permanent home where she realizes that there is only on bathroom for her and Charlie and is not excited by the thought of sharing a bathroom with her dad. Bella is glad that Charlie doesn't hover so she can unpack her things. Then Bella talks about how she never has been able to relate to her peers and how she is nervous that she is going to be judged by the people at her new high school in forks. She thinks that the people at school expect her to be tan and a volleyball player or cheerleader, but she is the opposite. Bella is a klutz and very uncoordinated and very pale skinned. At her first day of school the first person she meets is Eric and he seems to be too helpful towards Bella. Finally Bella gets to lunch and that's where she sees "them", what the Cullen's are referred to first in the book. Bella is curious about why they aren't eating or talking and are just sitting at their lunch table in the corner of the room. To Bella they all look different but at the same time they look alike. Bella asks Jessica who they were. Jessica explains that they are all the adopted kids of the Dr. Cullen, the doctor the the town, and about how they are "together" as she puts it. All the Cullen kids are dating, Rosalie and Emmit then Alice and Jasper but then there is Edward. Jessica tells Bella's that she shouldn't waste her time with Edward because he doesn't think that any of the girls in Forks are good enough for him. Bella looks over at Edward and he seemed to be smiling at that comment that Jessica made. The Cullen's all leave the lunch room and one of Jessica's friends Angela has the same next class as Bella so they walk to class together. Once they get to class Angela goes to her seat and Bella realizes that the only open seat is by Edward Cullen. Bella's crosses the isle to the teachers desk to get a slip signed and is conspicuously watching Edward who meets eyes with her and then all of the sudden has a horrible looking face as if he smelled something dusting. When she is instructed to her seat Edward just looks at her with his deep black eyes and leans away with his hand over his mouth/nose. Bella smells her hair to make sure she doesn't smell bad and she doesn't, but the whole class Edward sat there with the same expression leaning far away from her. Right as the bell rang Edward was out of the room and Bella was in shock at how rude he was. She goes to the office to turn in her signed slip form all her teachers where she finds Edward leaning far over the desk trying to persuade the lady behind it. Edward notices that Bella has entered and stops arguing with the lady and says never mind then very hastily and is again very rude to Bella as he leaves the office.
