Bella: Shield. Mind reader. Can talk to Edward through each other's mind.
EmPOV
I was sitting at the kitchen table, waiting for Alice to finish getting ready for school. The window gave a preview to what to expect when you stepped outside, a light misty rain falling down. I had been in this town for all of 16 hours and already missed the warm, sunny climate of my old home. The first day of school was sooner than I expected, but I should have known Charlie would send me as soon as possible, not wanting his only son to be behind in school. Alice came down the stairs, her heels clicking against the wood as she did, freezing when she caught sight of me.
"You can't seriously be wearing that," She pointedly looked up and down at my attire, "on your first day."
Glancing down at my outfit, a pair of jeans and a long sleeve black shirt, which I thought looked good, I answered quickly. "I am wearing this." Alice huffed at me, making me smile as I grabbed my keys for my vehicle and headed out of the house. I had to hold in my laughter as Alice attempted to jumped into the lifted Jeep Wrangler. Once she made it in, and a string of curses filled the car, I pulled out of the driveway and headed to the only Highschool in town.
As I pulled in, I was stunned by the size of it all. My school in Phoenix was quite large, and the size difference was shocking. I parked among the sea of cars, some newer and some older, but none as new or nice as mine. That was until my eyes roamed the cars once more and landed on an electric blue Audi R8. I found Alice's eye, proceeding to have a silent conversation with her, involving lots of raised eyebrows and frowns. I looked once more at the car, and Alice followed my eye line before turning back to me, a smile among her features. We got out the car together, Alice offering to take me to the office. Once I got my class schedule I told Alice goodbye, got a warning not to scare anyone and was off to find my first class, English.
As Forks High was a small school, most of the student body followed the new kid around. I made some friends, mostly by the football team as they had tried to recruit me multiple times throughout the morning. I finally agreed after the twelfth time, a chorus of cheers following as well as a hushing from the teacher. I was currently in History, sitting beside Jasper who had a vast knowledge of history. He was also a part of the team, and invited me to sit with him at lunch, to which I quickly agreed to. The bell rang, causing us to quickly pack up and head to the cafeteria straight to the table where a pretty blonde sat as well as Alice.
After being introduced to Rosalie, the blonde girl, we sat down, getting quickly into conversations about random things. Alice seemed happy, alternating between watching me, her older brother and the boy that sat next to me. As the conversation died down, I took the time to look around the large room, scoping out the rest of the students. The school was divided into obvious cliché groups, the jocks, nerds, theatre kids, etc. I felt like I had stepped into a scene of the movie Mean Girls and felt myself having to stop from laughing out loud at the thought of it. I turned my attention back to the group but was quickly drawn back to the crowd at the sound of a musical laugh. Many heads, including all of the ones sitting at the table, snapped to a table in the far back corner. A girl, radiating beauty, sat with an equally beautiful boy. I couldn't make out all her details but her laugh was continuously repeating in my head.
"Who is she?" I asked quietly, turning away and facing the group in front of him.
"That is Isabella Cullen and Edward Cullen." Jasper explained. "They moved here a few years ago. They live by themselves and usually keep to themselves. They don't interact a lot," Jasper shrugged, not knowing what else to say. Rosalie spoke up next.
"Edward interacts a lot more, actually coming out to football games and talks to some of the guys. His sister, who I believe goes by Bella, is usually quiet, and a bit stand offish." I sneaked a peek and ended up making eye contact with Bella herself. She seemed to study me for a second, our eye contact not wavering. After a moment she turned to her brother, giving him a glare. I turned back to the group as Alice began to talk.
"And, she has the most amazing sense of style. The car you had eye sex with this morning, that was hers."
"That was hers! That thing was in mint condition," I turned to look once more, seeing her smirk slightly before standing up, and leaving the cafeteria, Edward trailing behind her. Everyone in the cafeteria seemed to watch them leave.

I had just finished hunting, taking my time with the run back to the house, not quite ready to accept the new school day was here. Edward was waiting for me when I got back, instantly bombarding me with questions, specifically revolving around the new kid and my hunger. I had momentarily forgot about that small tidbit, but with a slight shake of my head I had shaken the thought from my mind. I changed quickly into a pair of black jeans and a white button up blouse. I used a solid black blazer to complete the outfit as well as a pair of red Louboutin's heels. Without asking, I proceeded to Edward's room, picking an outfit that would look nice for him. I received a rude thought from him and laughed both mentally and out loud. As I passed him, I broke into another fit of giggles.
"I look like a prep boy." He mumbled when he got into his room, reluctantly putting on what I had put out.
"Edward, suck it up. You will look nice, and I'm not going to drive with you to school if you look like a hobo," I grabbed my car keys and purse, using the full-length mirror that was to one side of the foyer to make sure I looked presentable one last time. Edward's voice broke me from my self evaluation.
"I have never looked like a hobo," I thought of the one time he did. "I only look like that because you burnt all my nice clothes in that prank you pulled." I frowned, remembering that prank that went awry.
"Oh, yeah." I shrugged heading to my Audi and getting in. Once Edward was in, I backed out, speeding to the school. I pulled into my usual parking spot, getting out and throwing my keys into my purse. I was hit with a hundred mental thoughts about the new kid, and instantly put my shield up, shielding Edward as well. He gave me a thankful look as we headed to his locker. Over the past year, we chose to share a locker, it was easier for me to be closer to him when I was near a lot of humans. We heard a loud engine and looked at each other. The new kid. I waved goodbye to Edward, as I heading to my first class.
The morning went by quick, the mental voices died down enough for me to lower my shield. I was excited when the lunch bell rang, and probably moved to fast when I left the room. I sat in Edward's and my usual table, watching the students file in until Edward arrived. When he arrived he took his time to study me, causing me to lift an eyebrow after a few moments. We often had these types of conversations, where we didn't talk, didn't think. We just stared and explained everything in silence. HIs topaz eyes were currently brighter than mine, even though I had just hunted, and his eyes showed his concern for me.
"Are we going to stare at each other all day?" I spoke like we usually did. Fast and unseen, by the humans surrounding us.
"Well, actually, I was planning on staring at the little bit of blood on your shirt." My eyes bulged when he said this, instantly shooting a hand up to the collar of my shirt while my eyes roamed the front. He started laughing softly, causing me to stare at him accusingly.
"Why would you say that? That would be embarrassing and a loss of a very expensive shirt." I was tempted to throw my apple across the table at him but decided against it.
"You aren't worry about the fact there was blood? But how you would have lost an expensive shirt?" I laughed as I realized the flaw in my thinking . An actual out loud laugh that broke our private conversation. If I weren't so caught up with myself laughing, I would have glared at all the heads that turned our direction. I calmed down, looking at all the people around us. I glanced quickly at the table before contemplating getting up to leave. A few voices travelled across the room, and both Edward and I looked towards the table they were coming from.
They were talking about us. Explaining to Emmett, the new boy I was warned about this morning, who we were and how we came to live in forks just a few short years ago. They proceed to talk about how Edward was more social, and how I was the outcast. It was true, I wouldn't argue. Edward had more control then I did. He could handle the idea of talking and risking the smell of blood from the players when they would fall and injure themselves. I couldn't. Who would you trust more to be around you? A vampire who fed off animals for more than half his life, or a vampire who recently turned to this life style and was more custom to killing them then talking to them. See. You would want the one that you were safer around. I thought this all, never removing my eyes from the human's table. Emmett suddenly turned to face me, and we held each other stares.
A human is actually holding the attention of thee one and only Isabella Cullen. Edwards's extremely annoying voice drifted into my head, causing me to turn and face him, my glare fixated on his eyes. After a moment I stood up, throwing my apple at Edward and watching him catch it easily. Alice talked about my car, and at Emmett's remark, I could help but smirk. I turned away, not once looking back to Emmett's table, instead heading to our locker to grab my biology book. The steady steps of Edward feet followed me as I swiftly turned down the hallway towards my locker.
You know. Some days I wish I never found you. I was annoyed and flung the door open with a bit too much force. I grabbed my book, and threw Edward's history textbook at him, before closing the locker. We walked silently outside to the picnic tables, choosing one of the more hidden ones to sit at.
Are you done throwing things at me? For a lady, you are quite mean and ruthless. He smiled, showing it was a joke. I continued to ignore him, picking the brains of the humans on the opposite side of the cafeteria's wall. Most were talking about the usual. Girls hoping for a chance with the annoying creature sitting in front of me; the boys looking for a way into my pants. I was overly annoyed.
"You know, as a young man born in the 1900's, you are often very unmanly." I scoffed, opening the biology textbook to a random page and reading information on things I already knew. The extremely loud bell then rang and the students slowly filed out of the room. I exhaled and stood up, saying a quiet goodbye to Edward and gracefully made my way to the science wing.
The stale smell of old, sitting chemicals hit my nose, overpowering the smell of the thick blood pulsating through everyone's veins. I sat at my usually spot, counting down to when Mike would interrupt my peaceful moment with an idiotic comment.
9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1—
"Isabella! Looking good."
"Mike, how many times am I going to have to tell you to call me Bella?"
"But Isabella rolls off my tongue much nicer." This got me to lift my head, and whip around to face him.
"Mike. Do I look like I care how it rolls off your tongue? NO. Because if you never said my name again, ever, in your entire life, I would not care one bit." I turned back to my book, shushing him every time he went to speak again. I heard Edwards laugh, before receiving a thought from him. Nearly bit his head off. Remind me to not piss you off. I smiled to myself, appreciating the silence once again.
I heard him, before I smelt him or saw him. His heavy frame, made his steps loud and noticeable, even without my exceptional hearing. He rounded the corner, his broad shoulders nearly touching both sides of the door frame. His sister, Alice, faired a goodbye to him as she skipped to her next class. I attempted to not eavesdrop on the conversation happening between the teacher and Emmett, but super hearing never helps. He was assigned the seat next to me. I never looked up as he sat beside me. His scent was strong, musky, pine needles and wood scent. His blood, alluring, didn't tempt me one bit. I sat up straighter, turning to face him. He stared at the board and copied the notes the teacher wrote, not noticing me till half way through the lesson. He smiled once he looked at me, and I made the decision to block his mind so I could actually enjoy a conversation for once. I must have taken forever to speak because he nudged his notebook towards me.
Bella, correct? His writing was untidy, and even with my eyes, it took a second to read. I nodded at his question, before he wrote again. Emmett. It's nice to meet you.
My writing contrasted greatly compared to his. My neat script elegantly engraved the page. Nice to officially meet you. Are you enjoying Forks so far?
Surprisingly, yes. The rain and overcast is going to take some getting used to, but I think I'll learn to love it. I smiled, before hearing the voice of Mr. Banner.
EmPOV
Bella was quite the person. I felt her dark topaz eyes staring at me for the greater part of the lesson. I paid as much attention as I could before I caved and wrote her a note. She took a while to read my note, not surprising me once I saw her writing. Her writing much nicer, elegant and perfect. I wanted to mentally slap myself for getting caught up in her looks. Mr. Banner asked her a question, and she took a second to take in her surroundings. A small smile stayed graced upon her lips as she answered. She answered correctly, surprising him because he thought she wasn't listening. The class was over all too soon, and she left with no more than a goodbye and a see you tomorrow. My last class was gym, and I learnt then, after constantly searching for a sign of Bella, that the Cullen's had been excused by their uncle, a study block replaced both their physical education courses on their schedules.
Class passed quickly and I made my to find Alice quickly, wanting to get home and shower before tryouts. As we made it to the parking lot, I noticed the Audi was gone. I unlocked the jeep, and jumped in, reaching over to unlock the passenger side and to help Alice get in. Once we both had our seatbelts on, I pulled out of the stall and went towards home. It was a silent ride for the most part, just the hum of the motor and the occasional taps of Alice's fingernails.
"So. How was school?" I broke the silence then. Not being able to handle it.
"It was fine. Rosalie and I planned a shopping spree this weekend in Seattle." Her higher pitched voice continued the sentence with a light giggle. I looked towards her and noticed her on her phone.
"Who are you texting?" I asked, a smirk on my face as I tried to look at both her and the road. She didn't reply as we pulled into the driveway. She hopped out the jeep quickly, not bothering to wait for me. She left the door open for me and I shut it quietly behind me. I headed upstairs to my room to put my bag down. I had a quick shower before finding all my gear and proceeded to put it all in my game bag. I changed into a pair of sweats and a hoodie, managing a goodbye to Alice and I exited the house and hopped into the jeep. I started it up easily and drove the short distance to the high school. I turned the music down a few minutes in, hearing an odd noise coming from under the hood. I drove the whole way in silence listening to the periodical clicking and clunking. I parked the jeep and jumped out, deciding to check it out after practice.
Practice went well, the coach giving me the option to join or not to join by the end. I accepted his offer and was relieved to know I had a couple weeks before practices started again. I was back in my normal clothes and heading back to the Jeep. I hopped in, and got some good music queued up. I put the key in the ignition and got onto the back roads to go back home. I noticed the sound was gone and smiled. But all too soon, I heard a louder clunk before the jeep died. I managed to get it to the side of the road. I groaned, getting out and popping the hood. I grabbed my phone, sighing when I noticed I didn't have service. I checked out the problem under the hood, noticing one of the connections to the battery was fried. I slammed the hood and walked back to get into the warmer vehicle.
I was sitting there, debating when I should get out and start walking to the house. Honestly, I didn't want to leave my baby on the side of the road, but it was the best thing to do at the moment. I was quite pissed that no one had driven by in an hour. I sighed once more, turning to grab my bag from the back seat. I turned back around in time to see a dark car, speeding right past me. I was shocked a car was going that fast in this small of a town. I slammed my car door, locking it behind me before beginning my journey back home. I heard distant tires squealing, smiling as I hear the foretell sign of someone drifting. I checked my phone in case I had service, when I heard a car speeding again. I looked up and behind myself in time to see the car from earlier, heading in my direction. It slowed down a bit before stopping swiftly beside me. I was a bit freaked out because of the tinted windows. I didn't recognize the car, a black Mercedes being too nice for any normal Forks town person.
The window softly lowered down. I bent down as I heard her voice. "Do you need a ride?" Bella asked softly, reaching over the center console so I could see her easily. I studied her for a second, wondering why she was out this late.
"Are you sure? It's late and I'm sure you have to get home."
"I'm sure. Get in." She leaned back, fiddling with the controls while I still stood there. "Are you going to get in? You can put your bag in the back seat." She didn't look at me once while she spoke. I complied silently, getting in and asking a question that confused me.
"Isn't your car blue?"
"Electric blue, yes. This is one of the few cars we have," She stated quietly, my eyebrows raising a bit.
"How many cars do you have?"
"Just a few, honestly." I wondered how much a few were. "Only like 3. 5 if you count the two in the shop." She tensed when she said the last statement. Looking like she was reprimanding herself.
"That's a lot of cars." She nodded, turning onto another back road. I looked out the window, noticing how fast we were going. "You should really slow down." She laughed quietly.
"I promise I won't crash." She turned her head and I looked at her like she was insane. She sighed and eased up to go the posted speed limit. It felt incredibly slow compared to how fast we were just going. She turned again, before pulling to a stop ten minutes later. I looked where we were to see us at my house.
"How did you know where I lived?" She smiled softly, leaning back in her seat and facing me a bit.
"You are the son of the Chief of Police. Everyone knows where the Chief lives." I nodded to myself.
"Thank you for the ride." I got out, opening the back door to grab my gear. I closed the door and noticed her rolling the front window down again.
"Emmett, do you need a ride in the morning?"
"No, I'll get Charlie to drive us."
"You are going to arrive at school in the cruiser?" She said something under her breath that sounded like an, 'Alice won't like that', but I shook it off when she spoke again. "I'll get Edward to pick you up around 7:30." And with that she drove off before I could object. I turned and headed inside, ignoring the frown and glare I got from Charlie. I headed upstairs and stopped at Alice's door. I knocked and she opened it a second later.
"The jeep broke."
She frowned, "How are we getting to school?"
"Just be ready for school by 7:30. That includes breakfast."
"Emmett! How are we getting to school?"
"Edward Cullen."
