Listen carefully and choose the right option b.- In the school corridors You're Isabella Swan, the new girl/student. Hi. I'm Eric. The eyes and ears of this school/place. Anything you need. Tour guide, lunch date, shoulder to cry on. I'm really kind of the more suffer-in-silence type. Great/Good headline for your feature - I'm on the paper, and you're news, baby, front/principal page. Please don t have any sort of.. Whoa,relax. No feature. Cool? c.- In the gym Ow! (hurries to him, embarrassed) I m sorry I warned them not to make me play/stay. No way. No, no no. That s that s don t (Mike grins and she smiles, relieved. A BELL RINGS, class over.) You're Isabella, right/yes? Just Bella. Yeah Yeah, I'm Mike. Newton. 4

5 (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.) Bella Nice to meet you She's got a great spike, huh? (to Bella) So, you're from Arizona, right? Aren't people/girls supposed to look really tan? Yeah, Maybe that's why they kicked me off/out. Mike (laughs, and because he does, Jessica does. Bella just feels uncomfortable with the attention..) You re good! That s so funny d.- in the school canteen Hey, Mikey, you met my home girl Bella. Your home girl? That s My girl! (black boy kisses Bella, Mike runs after him) (to Bella) Oh my God It s like first grade/class all over again, and you're the shiny new toy. (Bella smiles awkwardly.) Smile!!!! (Suddenly, a FLASHBULB blinds Bella. She looks up at the photographer,, Jessica's sweet, low key, insecure friend.) Sorry, needed a candid for the feature Feature's dead, Angela. Don't bring it 5

6 up again. (to Bella) I got your back, baby. (disappointed) Guess we'll just run another editorial on teen drinking. You can always go for eating/sleeping disorders, or Speedo padding on the swim team Kirk. Right? That s exactly what I thought. --Actually, that's a good one We re talking Olympic size. e.- The Cullens enter the canteen Who are they? The Cullens. (Jessica leans in, swinging into gossip mode.) Doctor and Mrs. Cullen's foster kids. They all moved down here from Alaska like a few years/months ago. They kind of keep to themselves. Enter Rosalie and Emmett Because they're all together. Like, together together. The blonde girl, that s Rosalie, and the big dark-haired guy, Emmett..... they're a hit/thing. I'm not even sure that's legal. Jess, they're not actually related. Yes, but it s weird But they study/live together. And the little dark haired girl, Alice, she's really weird... 6

7 ... she's with Jasper, the blonde who looks like he's in pain/jail. I mean, Dr. Cullen's like this foster dad slash match maker. Maybe he'll adopt me. (Bella laughs, liking her... then sees the last Cullen to enter EDWARD, 17. Lanky, with untidy, bronze colored hair. He seems inwardly turned, mysterious. More boyish than the others. But the most striking of all. Bella can't take her eyes off him.) Who's he? He s/that's Edward Cullen. (Suddenly, Edward looks over, as if he heard Jessica from across the room. His eyes meet Bella's. But he seems.. confused. Bella quickly looks away.) He's totally gorgeous, obviously. But apparently, no one here is good enough for him. Like I care. (she obviously does) So, seriously, like don't waste your time/life. I wasn't planning on it.
