"Omigod, I don't believing Bryan's cheating on Emma with Kelly! And after what Kelly did to Josh last year…"
I only listened for a second more before losing interest and moving on to my next victim, who was thinking about the meaning of life. Although this was much more interesting than Bryan and Kelly's love affair, my mind soon began to wonder.
It was a quarter 'til four, and I was sitting in the school library, a dusty room with nauseous fluorescent lighting and dusty brown carpets, while Bella Swan, my life and my love, sat across from me, working on her science project. While she was preoccupied, I had indulged in one of my secret pleasures: mind reading, a skill I had acquired when I became a vampire, back in 1917.
Suddenly, Bella, with a weary look on her face, said, "I think my brain has officially fried. Let's go." She smiled up at me, and I smiled back. Although Bella often told me about my "godlike beauty", she didn't realize how beautiful, how precious and delicate she was to me.
I carried her books outside to the parking lot, where Alice was waiting for us in my shiny silver Volvo. As we drove home at breakneck speeds, Alice began chatting idly with Bella to fill the silence. I only half listened; I was completely absorbed in my own thoughts. Although I heard Alice and Bella talking, I didn't register what they were talking about until Bella say, jokingly, "I'm sure he had girls falling all over him back then, right?"
"No," Alice replied with a smirk. "Well, only one, this one girl named--"
"That's enough, Alice!" I growled.
Surprised, Alice said, "I was only going to say--"
"Alice!" I cut her off before she could finish the sentence. I wasn't going to let Alice talk about that; it would only upset Bella and dig up old memories that I didn't want to remember.
The rest of the drive to Bella's house was made in complete silence.
Late that night, Bella lay in her bed, half asleep with my cold arms encircled around her.
"Edward?" she mumbled. "Tell me about her. The girl Alice mentioned on the way home."
"Not now, my love."
Although I was expecting Bella to protest, she soon fell asleep. Because I was a vampire, I couldn't sleep, but I could fall into a sort of waking dream: I let my body rest as I completely succumbed to thought. Tonight, though, all I could think about was strawberry blonde hair glinting in the sunlight, of laughing blue eyes meeting mine, of the girl I had promised myself to never think of again…..
