INT. GYM - DAY 14

The boys' basketball team runs drills on half the basketball

court. A girls' volleyball game occupies the other half.

Bella, in gym clothes, avoids the volleyball like it's

radioactive. An energetic, athletic team captain, JESSICA,

motivates the players.

JESSICA:

Block it, Chloe! Yeah! Good attack!

Unfortunately, the volleyball heads toward Bella. She closes

her eyes and flails at it, SMACKING it. It flies off court

-

-- and beans a basketball player in the head. He is MIKE

NEWTON, good looking, affable, with blond spiky hair.

MIKE:

Ow!

BELLA:

(hurries to him,

embarrassed)

Are you alright? I warned them not

to make me play.

MIKE:

It's only a flesh wound.

Mike grins and she smiles, relieved. A BELL RINGS, class over.

MIKE:

You're Isabella, right?

9.

BELLA:

Just Bella.

MIKE:

I'm Mike. Newton.

He looks at her a second too long, clearly taken by her -

-

Suddenly, Jessica appears, stepping between them. Subtle,

but possessive as she nudges Mike.

JESSICA:

She's got a great spike, doesn't

she?

(to Bella)

So, you're from Arizona, right?

Aren't people supposed to be tan

down there?

BELLA:

That's why they kicked me out.

Mike laughs, and because he does, Jessica does. Bella just

feels uncomfortable with the attention..

.

15 INT. CAFETERIA - DAY 15

FOLLOW Bella, Mike and Jessica as they carry their trays to

a

table. Eric appears, and squishes into a seat next to Bella.

ERIC:

Mike, you met my home girl Bella.

MIKE:

Your home girl?

JESSICA:

(to Bella)

It's first grade all over again,

and you're the shiny new toy.

Bella smiles awkwardly. Suddenly, a FLASHBULB blinds Bella.

She looks up at the photographer, ANGELA, Jessica's sweet,

low key, insecure friend.

ANGELA:

Sorry, needed a candid for the feature

-

ERIC:

Feature's dead, Angela. Don't bring it

up again.

(to Bella)

I got your back, baby.

10.

ANGELA:

(disappointed)

Guess we'll just run another editorial on

teen drinking.

BELLA:

Sorry. There's always eating disorders,

or Speedo padding on the swim team

-

ANGELA:

-- Wait, that's a good one..

.

But Bella's attention is now riveted to

-

BELLA'S POV - THE DOUBLE DOORS OF THE CAFETERIA

They swing open as four of the most astounding people Bella's

ever seen enter (IN SLOW MOTION): THE CULLENS. Two guys, two

girls, all chalky pale, purplish shadows under their eyes..

.

and all devastatingly beautiful.

They move through the room with effortless grace, and take a seat

at a table furthest from Bella's. Bella leans over to Jessica and

Angela.

BELLA:

Who are they?

ANGELA:

The Cullens.
