I sat in the cafeteria with my brother Arian, waiting for school to let out.
God, we have two more incredibly boring classes before we get out. I thought at him. He smiled You have gym Nicole; I have two actual classes before we can leave. He looked over at me, and then up as someone approached us.
"Hi," said the girl to Arian. What's her name? He thought at me. Jessica I thought back at him. Gosh, I hope he doesn't go out with her. I thought, only to myself.
"Hello, Jessica," he said to her. She giggled as he took her hand and kissed it. Arian!!!! They don't do that any more! He looked over at me. Oh crud, she's going to think I'm in love with her or something. I sighed and muttered something incoherent under my breath heading for the lunch line to grab an apple, as I had only had lemonade so far. Traitor Arian thought after me as I walked away. I laughed, and glanced around the room. A boy started toward me from one of the tables as I exited the lunch line for the second time.
"Hi there," he said. I thought I recognized him from my Adv. Math class.
"Hey,"
"I'm Ben, you want to sit with us?" he asked gesturing toward a table with people already at it. I glanced at Arian who, having freed himself from Jessica, thought Go ahead make new friends I'll be with you in a sec. He winked as he walked out of the lunch room. I looked back to Ben.
"Sure, I'd like to sit with you." I told him. He guided me over to the table.
"Ok everyone this is Nicole," he addressed the group.
"Nicole this is, Angela, Bella, Edward, Alice, Jessica, and Mike." He said pointing to each in turn.
"Hi," I said in a small voice, sitting down in the open seat next to Bella.
"Welcome to Forks," she said offering a hand.
"Thanks." I said shaking her hand. The boy named Edward also offered to shake my hand. He was looking at me intently, like he was trying to figure something out.
"Hello, Nicole. Where have you moved from?" he asked as he shook my hand. His hand was exceptionally cold. I tried to remember where we had supposedly moved from.
"What was that?" I asked playing for time. ARIAN!!!! I shouted mentally, Edward winced as though I had shouted in his ear or something. Looking at me with renewed interest he repeated what he had said.
"Where have you moved from?"
"Oh, Arian, and I moved from…" I stopped as Arian answered me, coming up behind Edward, What? He asked Where did we move from? I asked mentally while saying.
"Oh, hi Arian." Edward glanced from me to Arian and back twice, his brow furrowed. Bella mouthed "What" but Edward shook his head at her. Pinon, Arizona Arian told me.
"We moved from Pinon, Arizona last week." I told Edward who seemed even more confused by my statement. I looked at Arian to say something but he was staring at Edward intensely, Edward was staring back. Can you hear this? Arian though at him, I heard it as well and looked to see Edward's reaction. He nodded minutely, saying.
"It's nice to meet you, are you Nicole's brother?" he asked to mask the mental conversation.
"I'm her twin actually," He replied. Thinking Meet us outside the main office in ten minuets. Edward nodded.
"Edward," I asked having heard the mental conversation. He turned to me.
"Do you mind showing me where my next class is?" I asked say yes I told him.
"I don't see why not, do you want to go now?" he asked me. I nodded. He winked at Bella and gave a significant look to Alice. She stood up with us as we left the lunch room. I looked at Arian Meet you there he said. Edward blinked as he heard the message.
