A few hours later, Bella and Alex were walking down the hallways of the high school heading toward the cafeteria.
'The previous classes were Trigonometry, which honestly was quite easy, we only covered the basics however I still was stressed, new world and shit, and the first thing in the morning is math.' Alex thought to himself as he released an inward sigh, dodging the students that had filled the hallways as he walked.
Next to Bella and Alex walking was a girl they had met during that class who had sat next to the two. Jessica Stanley.
'Jessica is honestly less annoying as they make her out to be in the books, she just seems like a regular high school girl. Though I guess the only reason people portrayed her that badly in the fandom was because she talked behind the Cullen's back however she's just a teen, not really the end of the world, I'd call it regular behavior.' Alex thought as he looked at the girl walking next to Bella to his right.
The girl was a bit shorter than Bella, she had dark curly hair, a dark brown, similar to her eyes. She wore clothes that clearly appeared more fashionable than most of the students around here in Forks and it was quite obvious that she was an extrovert, one just had to look at how she walked and talked.
'Bubbly, yet slightly jealous inside. Overall? Harmless.' Alex thought to himself as he turned his gaze towards the front once more.
'Our second class was Spanish, which I never learned in my past life, so im most likely either failing or barely passing. This could be a bit annoying if the Alex who inhabited this body was previously good at Spanish however I can just chalk it up to me no longer caring about my grades.' Alex thought as the trio finally arrived at the doors of the cafeteria.
Students could constantly be seen heading inside or leaving, making getting in quite the hassle.
"It's quite busy, I'd have thought that more people would just be roaming around outside the building," Alex mumbled as he looked at the scene.
"No, everyone actually comes here, the food is pretty alright and you can even call it the hotspot of gossip. Usually, anything that happens gets transmitted to the whole student body." Jessica said with a smile and a wink at Alex as she walked inside.
'Is she hitting on me? Nah… definitely not right? Is this one of those moments that I will remember five years later?' Alex thought jokingly to himself as he followed behind her together with Bella.
Alex and Bella quickly arrived at a table following Jessica and sat down. There were three other students already sitting at the table.
One of them was Erick Yorkie whom the two had already met before their first class, and the two others were a light blond-haired guy with a slight baby face and an athletic build as well as a tall girl with light brown hair and glasses.
'Those two must be Mike Newton and Angela Weber, their looks match the book descriptions much more closely than the movie versions.' Alex thought to himself as he sat down at the table right next to Bella as well as Angela.
"Hey, Im Alexander Swan, the new transfer student. Call me Alex though." Alex says with a smile as he extends his hand toward Mike.
"Yo Alex, I'm Mike Newton, nice to meet you as well. And you are?" Mike said first to Alex before quickly turning his gaze towards Bella.
'Does this guy already have a crush on her? At first sight? I know he was described as flirty in the books however this much?' Alex thought as he listened to Mike starting to talk with Bella who clearly didn't really seem in the mood to entertain him much.
Shrugging his shoulders, Alex turned towards the girl, Angela Weber.
"Nice to meet you as well. Alex," Alex says as he gives her his hand as well, which she seems to take softly, a shy expression on her face.
"Angela Weber. Nice to meet you too Alex." Angela replied, her voice much quieter than the rest of the group.
Giving a nod to the girl, Alex quickly turned to the rest of the group. Mike took this moment to ask a question.
"So how are you guys liking Forks so far?" He asked curiously, the question was directed at both however he seemed to only be looking at Bella.
"It's cold and wet, quite different from Pheonix. However, it is a nice change of view." Alex replied as he put his chin on his hand, holding it up.
Bella replied with a similar answer, Mike seemed to instantly grab this moment and start more small talk with her.
Alex turned his gaze towards Jessica who was now slightly glaring at Bella.
'Damn man, Jessica isn't even bad looking, why are you trying for the girl that is clearly not interested in you.' Alex thought to himself, feeling the urge to release a chuckle but holding it back in.
It was at this moment that the doors of the cafeteria opened up.
And inside came a group of people. The entire cafeteria seemed to quiet down for a moment at the sight of them.

Thanks for reading, I'm having quite a lot of fun writing this. Alex's character is quite a lot calmer than in the original fanfiction. I want a more sane character for once, just a chill one I guess.
Thanks for reading once more and Thanks for the support as well. It's only thanks to you guys that I can continue doing this full-time.
