New FF: How many stars?--updated!

Hi everyone! This is my first Fan Fiction ever (related to twilight at least), and I hope you all enjoy it.

Introduction:

Bella Swan: A shy yet extremely smart freshman in high school. She is unbelievably accident prone and has only one friend, so far.

Edward Cullen: The popular guy. He is on the football team as a sophomore, has a group of girls who trail after him, is invited to the best parties, and is basically liked by all the girls and loathed by all the guys.

Tanya, Lauren, and Jessica: Disgusting mean girls who are always around Edward.

Lizzie: A huge girly girl who is obsessed with Edward.

Alexandra: On the dark side; a tomboy; likes Edward.

Alice Cullen: Edward's beloved and spontaneous sister.

Emmet Cullen: Edward's older and highly humorous brother.

Rosalie Hale: Emmet's girlfriend. She is kind and welcoming.

Jasper Hale: Rosalie's brother and Alice's boyfriend.

Christina Geller (Christy): Best and only friend of Bella. She is obsessed with her academics.

Mike, Tyler, and Eric: Jerks obsessed with Bella and Christy.

Other characters may randomly pop up, but may not be as significant.

Will sparks fly between Edward and Bella? Will a strange addition to the Cullen family help? What happens when things get so much more complicated than this old clich? Read the story to find out!

Also, please let me know if I am not allowed to use the same character's names. I had no idea. If so, it won't take time to change them. Thank you.😊

BPOV:

First day of highschool.

"Hey Bella!" Cristy yelled into my ear. Now I understood the terribel effects tons of coffee had on her.

"Hey Cristy. Why are you so jumpy this morning? Shouldn't you be grieving since its our first day of high school!?" I exclaimed.

"Never! I have been waiting for this day forever! Finally I get to be free and rid of those pesky monstors from highschool!" A huge grin came on her face.

Cristy had always been more mature than anyone else I had ever met.

"Oh right, now we get to meet new monstors! Yeepee!" I said sacracastically.

We got out of the car and starred at the huge school standing in front of us that we are going to attend for the next four years. I saw a diverse group of kids surrounding the highschool. It was frightning.

Suddenly, Cristy tugged my elbow and led us in. Cristy was far to anxious to get into her class and make sure everything was stable. I, however, was not that anxious.

"Cristy, why do you have so many books with you on the first day of school?" I asked her, not sure I wanted to know the answer.

"Well, I classified my binders into their appropriate subjects and made sure I brought along some information so that I wasn't dumbfounded."

"Of course."

"See you during lunch! Thank god we have that period together!! Addios!" She said enthusiastically after giving me a comforting smile. Yet, I wasn't comforted.

I was happy to know that we had lunch, Enligsh, and History class with eachother. I felt at ease and walked into my next class that was right next to this crowd of girls surrounding this one boy, and I murmmered to myself: "this is high school" and let out a sigh.

BPOV

I took the few minutes I had to straighten out my desk before everyone came in. And, apparently, the fan club outside were in the same class as me.

I looked down and straigtened out my midnight blue shirt. I didn't look at the bronze haired boy directly, but I was able to understand why all of those girls couldn't leave him alone, he was gorgeous.

"Hey, Ed, look, freshman girls!" A boy shouted out while pointing at me and this girl siting across from me.

"What little girls. Grose!" One of the girls from the fan club bursted out. This "Ed" character, however, remained scielent.

Thankfully, class started right there and then. The teacher, Mr. Masson, introduced himself and pointed out that he will pair up teams to work on the labs.

He begun his list of pairs:

Jessica and Eric, Tanya and Tyler, Lauren and Mike, and so went on the list, until he reached the last three people on the list, and realised that they must work together because of an uneven number of people.

They were me, Edward, and Lizzie.

He gave us a task and claimed it to be the first project of the first semester. He noted that it will count as a large portion of our final grade, and that assistance will be provided.

For the rest of the class he explained some topics and gave us some sites we could refer to inorder to do the project well. He dissmissed us with the note: you will not be given time to do this project in class.

Great! I had to figure out some way to do this project and get a good grade and at the same time work with these bozos. I couldn't wait till lunch'my first class with Cristy.

Unfortunatly, I still had to go through math class. Argh.

^Thank you😃 i am really glad you like it😳

Chapter four: A strange encounter during lunch

BPOV

Geometry was a pain! My teacher seems alright, however, the curriculum disturbs me. So much to memorize! I wonder how Cristy was able to do all of this as an eigth grader!

The class lasted shorter than the first one did, and I walked as fast as I could to the cafeteria to talk to Cristy.

Cristy's pov

My first two classes were rather simple. I hope high school is more difficult than this, I could sleep and still ace them if not.

I was eager for lunch with Bella. I was curious as to how she found her classes'particularly Geometry. But I decided to drop of my books at my locker before, to give myself less to carry.

And, to my great inconvinience, there was a guy who had his arms wrapped around two girls, smirking. He pressed his lips to those of one of them, and the other girl grimaced. I was disgusted.

Well, of course I wasn't just going to stand there and let them cover my locker. So I went on being myeslf.

"Excuse me? Can you please move to the side? You are covering up my locker."

The girls stared at me like I wasn't human, but the guy was kind enough to readjust his position, which caused the girls to do the same.

I went to my locker and tried to open it, pulling it with all my force. It didn't help that I was anemic. A/N: I am sorry if this offended anyone, it was never meant to do anything near that---I am anemic myself.

I ended up practically attacking my locker when Bella saw me. I was slightly relieved yet incredibly angry at my locker.

BPOV

"What are you doing to your poor locker?" I exclaimed as I saw her ready to stick a knife into it---or worse.

"It won't open! I don't understand! What did I ever do to this locker?!" She farntically shouted. I was slightly appalled at the fact that this had no affect what-so-ever on the fan club that I recognized from Biology.

I felt a strange erge to speak to him about what we were going to do about the project, but I decided I should ask Cristy for advice first. She had plenty of experience in this field.

She finally pulled her locker open, after her palm was a deep red. She plopped in her books in the neatest order and we headed towards the cafeteria.

"Uh-oh! One area we hadn't covered---were will we sit?" We both starred at the tables and at eachother apprehensively. That was a question neihter of us had an answer to.

I tried to answer though. "Umm..how about that one?" It was empty, and towards the corner were there was a reasonably sized window.

"Sure." She replied and we both sat down there with your lunch and books.

"So, how were your classes?" She asked me casually as she opened up her sandwich.

"Awful'we already have a group project to complete in Biology! And the people in my group don't look like they are going to do any work! What do I do?" I complained, knowing she would come up with the perfect plan.

"Oh god! What I would do is talk to them, see if they are actually going to participate'if not, you can either talk to your teacher, although those kids will probably ambush you if you do, or, just do the project yourself and write their name on it at the end'its better than getting a zero." She retorted.

Cristy's logic frightened me at times. Yet, it always seemed to make sense.

"Hmm..thanks for the advice. So, how were your first classes?" I asked her.

"Pretty good. Easy. But good." She told me. Of course, I kept telling her a billion times that she should go to a challenging private school'but no.

Right there and then, we noticed that Edward and his group of girls and a few other guys, some of which I regocnized from my first class, were starring at us incredulously.

"What the hell are you nerds doing sitting on our table?" The blonde standing next to Edward shrieked. A few of them chuckled slightly.

I was speechless, insulted, and intimidated, but Cristy wasn't.

"Tell you what'we will leave if you tell me the meaning of the word narcissistic."

"Why should I go with your deal freshman?"

"Why not? Is it really that hard for you to figure out the meaning of an eigth grade term?"

"No! I just'can't remember it at this moment!"

"Well, can any of your friends?"

The all mumbled no.

"Hmm'guess that means we wont be getting up. You might want to brush up on your vocabulary though'you do want to graduate right?"

"Ugh! Whatever *****!"

Cristy laughed. I was surprised to see Edward, who seemed to be the leader of the group, chuckled, as if he were pleasantly surprised.

I turned on Cristy.

"My god! How are you brave enough to talk to them like that?"

"Its simple'they have absolutely no perceptive in life'none at all, which is what makes it so easy for us to take over them."

"Yeah, I guess your right. But, lets not sit here from now on, k?"

All of a sudden, one of the boys of the group came over and tried to negotiate.

"Alright twerps, how about we all sit on this table, the left portion yours, right portion ours. Deal?" He said coldly with fierce eyes.

I quickly agreed before Cristy retorted defiantly and ended up sewing him'knowing her, that was highly possible.

And that was the end of that. Next period: English.

Please comment!

I am really anxious to see what you guys think of this story.

so comment...pronto!!😃😆

You'll see the next chapter then!

^^^Thank you!!!🤗 esp. to desigurl_77 for pointing out my mistake and thank you to tava and Mimi_Rani too😃 I am really glad you all like it. Just to let you all know, i have this FF on a different site as well, but i wanted to share it on IF. (thats why there is already so much progress😉) and if you end up seeing this thing somewhere else, it is my work.

Chapter four: Why, oh, why?

BPOV:

Apparently, my group members were practically following me everywhere! Edward and Lizzie were with me in this class too, but, I wasn't going to let that bother me, considering Cristy was right next to me.

I noticed the too loud conversation between Lizzie and Edward.

"So, don't you think its just so totally awesome that we are going to be working together for our Bio project?!" She chirped loudly.

"Umm'sure. You realize there's this other girl working with us too right?" He said. I wasn't surprised that he didn't remember my name'after all, I was just an insignficant little freshman.

"Oh whatever! Me'you..." She trailed off for a while with a dreamy look on her face. "We can always pay the girl to ignore us you know." She winked.

Eww.

I was just as relieved as Edward when class finally started. The teacher, Mrs. Goodman, introduced herself after taking attendance and we were able to understand that she was definitely one of the most difficult teachers ever.

"Does anybody know the literary element used to describe a character that thinks of himself as God?"

The class was dumbfounded, but of course, Cristy knew the answer.

"Hubris."

"Very good Ms. Geller."

As I got up with the two large textbooks and the 800 paged novel, I stumbled and in the process, I was about to fall to the ground with all my books. I waited, for the pain, it couldn't be any worse than last time---which was yesterday.

But, instead, I felt two muscular, cold arms wrap around my waist, protecting me and keeping me from falling.

I turned around, still in his arms, to see whose they were, and to my extreme disbelief, they were Edward's! We gazed into each other's eyes for a minute until I started to get my self out of that position'to which he responded by loosening his arms.

"Thank you." I said to him politly.

"Your welcome'how about next time you try to watch where you walk? You could have gotten hurt!" He told me with an expression I couldn't really read.

I resisted the urge to stick my toung out at him like a five-year-old. Instead, I looked away with a disgusted look on my face.

He recognized my face and urge and smirked. That only made me want to do it more. I still didn't respond verbally though.

The next few classes were my elective, art, history, and regular biology (A/N: this story takes place in New York, and in New York there are regents (big state exams given to students for almost each subject at the end of the year. Also, each student usually takes two science classes'one lab, one normal curriculum class (usually'not always..but in this case'yes)

Then came gym'nooooooo! I couldn't stand gym! I hated gym soo much! It should be illegal! There are far too many ways for a person to get killed in that class!

And, do my great discomfort, Edward and all of his friends were in that class. Why oh why?

After I changed into the green shorts and tight yellow t-shirt, the coach begun class. I wasn't expecting to start anything right away'but we did.

He divided us up into teams of five. I was with Edward, Emmet, Jessica, and Lauren. Of course.

This was going to be the worst experience of all of their lives and mine.

We were supposed to play our own game of basketball with another group of five'Alice, a pikie like dark haired short girl with a warm smile on her face, Alexandra, Eric, Mike, and Tyler.

Oh no.

Edward noticed the horrified look I probably had on my face and couldn't stop himself from chuckling.

"something wrong, Bella?" He knew my name? since when?! I noticed the Lauren's grip on him tightened a little at the mention of my name.

"N-n-no." It didn't help that I stuttered. I was a terrible liar.

"A-a-a-re you sure?" He asked, with a huge smirk playing on his face.

"Yes." I said without making any eye contact. I turned my face away, trying to look confident and defiant.

It probably didn't work.

Emmet made a plan and we all tried to follow along. I was pretty sure they all knew by my very breakable thin appearance that I wasn't likely to be the best athlete of them all.

It was time to play.

Oh boy.

Please comment!

Great Bella and Edward parts are coming soon---and so is the 'addition' part'which is really far-fetched by the way.

Oh, and, if you have a question about something that I included in this story'feel free to ask me'like the 2 bio classes.

You will probably be seeing the next chapter later'the more replies'the earlier I update! (Unless I am really eager to write)
