I was sitting at my desk staring out the window. It was only the third day of school and Anatomy class was already boring to me. And yet I still chose to sit in it, and pretend to listen to stupid lectures anyway. It was starting to rain again, but that was no surprise to me. It was always raining in forks. My mind started drifting as I heard Mr. Banner blabbing on in the background. What should I do today? Should I dye my hair, or should I get it cut? Hmm. My thoughts were cut off when there was a knock on the classroom door. I turned my head to the culprit of my distraction, and dropped my jaw a little. Mr. Banner stopped classes and turned to the guy standing in the doorway.
"May I help you?" He asked, taking the paper from him.
"I'm Emmett. I'm the new student," he said, with a smirk on his face. He looked amused by this. I pulled myself back together and turned away. I stared down at my notebook, tracing circles on the cover.
"Oh, hello Emmett. You'll be taking a seat next to Elizabeth over there," I lifted up my head when I heard my name, to see Mr. Banner pointing at me. Emmett glanced at me, and then grinned once again. I sighed, and moved my stuff over, as Emmett walked over to my lab table and took a seat next to me.
"Hey Liz," he said as he placed a notebook on the table. I looked at him and nodded.
"Hi."
"What's up?" He asked, looking around the room. I raised my eyebrow and stared at him. Was he serious?
"Uhm. Nothing. 'Learning'," he snickered when I said this, and I furrowed my eyebrows.
"Why is that funny to you?"
"Well when I came in here you didn't look like you were learning a whole lot from that window." I glared at him.
"So you were watching me?" He looked frustrated now.
"Well, no. But you were in my line of sight when I walked in."
"Oh." He nodded, and then turned to the board. I studied him for a moment, seeing if he would turn back and look at me, but he didn't. He didn't look like any of the guys I had ever seen. I wondered where he had moved from, because he was awfully pale. He looked like he could be six feet easy, but I couldn't tell because he was slouching over in his chair, staring hard at the board. He had short dark brown hair, and golden eyes. I almost wanted to touch him to see if he was real, but I held myself back. I decided it would be in my best interest to turn back to the board and at least try to focus on what Mr. Banner was saying. That lasted for only about ten minutes before my mind started drifting again. Luckily for me the bell rang a few minutes later. I got up from my seat and started heading towards the door.
"See you later Liz." Emmett called, and I turned to look at him. He grinned at me, and I just turned back around and kept walking. I stepped into the hallway and Mike was waiting for me.
"Who was that Lizzie?" He asked, putting his arm around me. I shrugged.
"Some guy named Emmett. He's new," I said, scanning the halls for Angela. She was no where to be found.
"Really? There was a new kid in my Biology class. Some guy named Edward. He seems weird. Didn't really try to talk to anyone." I rolled my eyes, and looked up at him.
"New kids don't make it there lives to talk to new people. It usually takes them a while. You know I find it hard to believe that we're best friends, you're a little dumb." He scoffed, and hit me on the back of the head a bit.
"It's not my fault you're a super genius," He muttered, and walked away. I laughed as he started running down the hall after yet another girl. I turned around and walked into my Psychology class, only to find yet another new guy sitting at my used-to-be empty table. What the hell is this? New guy day? He looked at me swiftly, and grinned. What the hell? I sat down at the table, and placed my books down.
"Hello. I'm Edward, and you are?" I turned to him and smiled.
"I'm Elizabeth. Feel free to call me Liz. You're new I take it?" He nodded.
"My family and I just moved here."
"You don't have a brother, do you?" I asked, staring at him. He laughed and nodded.
"I assume you've met Emmett." I cocked my head to the side and nodded. "He's a bit of a brute. Ignore him. He likes to tease people as well, he'll be your 'new buddy' all year." Edward chuckled at my reaction. I sighed. Great. New boy's gonna be my buddy. This should be interesting. I heard Edward laugh again, and I stared at him.
"Is something funny?" I asked, getting confused.
"Oh no, I'm sorry. It was something I was thinking about that's all." I nodded, and turned towards the board.
Em POV
I looked around the room for Alice, Jasper, and Edward, but I couldn't find them yet. I sighed, and sat down at a table farthest away from the food line. I fiddled with the pen in my hand, twirling it around.
"Hey Emmett!" Alice chirped, taking the seat next to me. I waved to her. "How's your 'first day of school' going?" I laughed and she grinned.
"It was alright. I didn't really meet anyone too interesting." I said, a smile on my face.
"Not from what I can see Emmett." She said, smiling. "Who's Elizabeth?" I glared. I can't have any privacy can I.
"No, you can't." Edward said, sitting down across from me. I sighed, and scanned the lunch room.
"It's a good thing we went hunting yesterday. All these new scents would be driving me crazy," I said, looking at random faces. "Anything good Edward?" I asked. He shook his head.
"Nothing different from any other normal high school group." He said, pretending to pick at an apple he had picked up.
"Figures." I placed my head on the table. The only thing I wish I could be able to do was sleep. Make the time pass easier. Forever was a long time. I closed my eyes, and sat there. Nothing.
"As many times as you do that, you'll never sleep. I don't know why you keep trying." Edward scoffed.
"Stay out of my head!" I muttered. He laughed.
"Emmett, you never answered my question. Who is Elizabeth?" Alice asked, poking my arm. I picked up my head.
"Elizabeth? She sits next to me in Psychology. She's smart. You didn't seem to fit her fancy Emmett. She wasn't too thrilled about sitting next to you." Edward said, looking at me. I stared at him.
"So. I can still look at her. She's hot." Alice rolled her eyes, and smacked me as I grinned.
"She seems to think the same about you." Edward said, turning towards the doors of the cafeteria. I looked up to see her walking in. She was gorgeous. She was looking right at me. She smiled at me for a moment, and then her head turned in another direction. I watched as her blue eyes searched the room for whoever called her name. She stopped when she spotted a blond boy. He walked up to her and put his arm around her.
"It looks like you missed out Emmett." Alice said, turning around to face me. I nodded.
"Negative. They're best friends." Edward said, looking at me. "She is gorgeous too. Too bad you don't have a chance in hell." He grinned, getting up from the table.
"We'll see about that." I growled, and got up from my chair.
