Chapter 1
BPOV
It was just a normal day. I got out of bed, I got dressed, I went downstairs, had breakfast, got in my truck, drove to school, said hi to some people that acknowledged me and went to class. My life was like a chore, it didn't really have much of a meaning, since my mum Renee died.
It had only been a month since she passed away yet it felt like years. Of course I had Charlie and my friends that I had made over my first year in Forks but I still felt hollow and empty.
"Hey Bella!" called Mike Newton, a little too enthusiastically for my likening, as I walked up the front steps of Forks High school.
'Hey Mike' I said glumly and I pulled my shoulder bag up further up my shoulder.
'Come on Bella, Cheer up' he said punching my arm lightly, but with enough force to send me sprawling backwards.
"Oh I'm so sorry Bella"
"Its okay" I mumbled as I brushed the cold slush off my pants, "umm well, I better am getting to class"
"Oh yeah, I'll see you later" he said as he smiled back at me goofily.
I ignored him and walked off to class. I know it was rude but I really couldn't care less. I walked late in to my first class and received a dirty look from the teacher but once again, I couldn't care less.
I walked slowly to my desk and dumped my book on the desk loudly. I didn't follow what the teacher was saying and spent the rest of the class staring out the window.
I shuffled through the day like I was sleepwalking. I didn't speak much to anyone and I didn't eat any lunch, I mostly stared out the window or sketching dark eyes on my books which seemed to stare back at me, almost asking me what was wrong.
But then something changed. When I got to Biology class at the end of the day, I noticed that I had the new teacher Mr Cullen. I had heard some people talking about him at lunch today; he was apparently really young for a teacher. They said he was about 19 or 20 years old and supposedly super gorgeous.
But the strange thing was as soon as I walked in to the class room he froze and turned to look, or more like stare, at me and I couldn't help to stare back. It was as if I was caught in some sort of net, or like I was being hypnotised. After a few seconds, or maybe it was a few minutes, I couldn't measure time properly when I was looking at him, someone came up to me and nudged me to make me walk to my seat. But even then I couldn't take my eyes off him and, it seemed as if he couldn't take his eyes off me.
When I got to my seat, Mr Cullen decided to start the class.
"Hello class" he said in the most musical and perfect voice I had ever heard, "My name is Mr Cullen, but if you prefer you can call me by my first name, Edward" he said looking at me the whole time.
I didn't catch much of what he said because I was staring at his flawless lips moving as he spoke.
"This semester we will be studying Anatomy" he said as he walked to his desk to retrieve some papers from his desk.
As soon as he started moving, I was mesmerized by the way his legs moved in such a flowing movement. It reminded me of water trickling down a small creek, over small pebbles and sticks.
I was so deep in thought of how perfect Edward was that when he got up to my name on the role, I couldn't find my lips to say I was here.
"Isabella Swan?" he repeated.
The person I was sitting next to had to kick me under the table to get me to respond.
"Oh, I'm...I'm here. And I like to be called Bella" I splutter.
"Well it's very nice to meet you, Bella" he said as he gave me the most heart-breaking smile I had ever seen.
I blushed bright red. He chuckled at my reaction which only made me blush deeper. He went on with the role with a very amused smile on his face.
I could get over how perfect he was. It was the first time in a month I felt almost animated again. It was as if seeing Edward had changed my view on life. So I sat the rest of the class staring at his flawless body and listening to his musical voice.
When the bell rang I didn't move I just kept staring at Edward as he had been doing for most of the class as well. After about a minute Edward shook his head as if he was clearing his head.
"Umm...was there anything you wanted Bella or do you just do this at the end of every class?" he chuckled as he smiled that perfect smile of his. I didn't realise that he was expecting an answer until he quirked an eyebrow at me.
"Well...umm...I don't usually do this...umm...I just...umm...didn't hear the bell...yeah" I stuttered.
"Do you always have trouble speaking?" he chuckled as he leaned casually against his desk.
"Umm...no...Umm...I better be off then...umm...bye" I squeaked, making a dash for the door. Bad idea. My clumsiness prevailed, causing me to trip over one of the tables legs.
I prepared myself for the impact, when I realised that I should have already hit the floor. Finally I realised that someone had caught me. I turned my head to see who had caught me, although I already knew.
Edwards face was only a couple of inches away from my face. I blushed deeply and he smiled. He pulled me up so that he was holding me only an inch away from his face. At that moment I felt so warm and fuzzy, as if I was under the influence of some wonderful drug. I breathed in deeply to settle myself, to keep me from blushing, of course I failed.
"Are you always this clumsy?" he asked with a smile in his voice. I nodded slightly and blushed again. He breathed in deeply and chuckled. His breath washed over my face, intoxicating me, almost making me dizzy.
I realised that we had moved closer to each other and our noses were touching. I suddenly noticed that his skin felt ice cold on mine.
"Are you okay? You're skin is really cold" I exclaimed as I tried to grab his hand.
"No no I'm fine" he answered pulling back and letting go of me.
"Are you sure? It feels like ice" I said reaching for his hand again.
"Yes I'm sure I'm fine." He paused "You should really go now" he said stepping back two steps.
"Umm...okay...I'll see you around then" I said picking up my stuff and heading home.
"Bella?" he said.
"Yeah?" I said turning around.
"Please don't speak of this to and one" he said seriously but I could see the plead in his eyes,"I just started here and I don't want to make a bad reputation for myself if rumours spread".
"I wouldn't think of it" I said with a reassuring smile.
"Have a good evening Bella" he said smiling at me.
"Umm...yeah...you too" I said shaking my head, trying to clear my head from his sudden attack of perfectness.
As I exited the room I swear I hear him giggle at my speechlessness.
EPOV
It was my last lesson of the day and it had been a extremely uneventful day. I heard some of the students of my next class waiting outside, so I went to open the door.
They stumbled into the classroom, knocking the papers I had just stacked neatly, off my desk. I groaned and went to collect the papers when I smelt it. It was so strong, so powerful, so beautiful and so mouth-watering all at the same time. I almost turned and leaped at the thing that smelt so tempting but I controlled myself. I froze and turned to see what had made me react so violently.
I saw a beautiful girl standing in the door way, staring at me. She was so stunning, I just wanted to go and stroke her perfectly smooth skin...
I then realised that I was still looking and her and she was still looking at me. Gosh she must think I'm some sort of freak to be staring at her like this.
I tried to read her mind, but all I got was blank. I tried again, blank. This was starting to get frustrating. I tried again, blank.
Uh oh maybe my power was on the blink. I tried to read someone else's mind.
"How FREAKIN Gorgeous is that teacher, I'd like to take a bite out of that, I wonder if he's married, of course he isn't, he's only 20 or something" thought a girl student, I think her name was Jessica.
Thank god I haven't lost it, I thought to myself. Hmmmm...maybe I'll try again, Blank. Oh well at least I can still look at her.
Someone must have made her move because she walked to her seat, her eyes not leaving me once. As soon as she was in her seat, I thought it might be around about time to start the class
"Hello class" I announced, catching the classes attention in one shot ,"My name is Mr Cullen, but if you prefer you can call me by my first name, Edward" I said, trying to be polite.
I noticed that the Beautiful girl was still staring at me; I also noticed that my eyes had never left hers as well. The class was starting to look very bored so I continued with the class ,"This semester we will be studying Anatomy'" I said in my most excited voice.
I heard some people groan under their breath.
I sighed started calling the role, not really paying attention. It was only when I called Isabella Swan's name and no one responded, did I look up from the paper.
"Isabella Swan?" I called again, scanning the class.
"Oh, I'm...I'm here. And I like to be called Bella" said the beautiful girl I had been staring at.
Bella...Bella...Bella...I repeated her name again and again in my mind. It was such a beautiful name for such a gorgeous girl.
"Well it's very nice to meet you, Bella" I said still playing her name over and over again in my head. She blushed the most delicious colour I had ever seen in my life. I chuckled at that and that only made her blush even deeper.
She looked so beautiful with that blush, not that she didn't look beautiful before. I continued with the role, but still looking at Bella as her blush died down.
As the class wore on couldn't take my eyes off her, she was just so perfect. When the bell rang everyone filtered out of the classroom except for Bella.
I was a little puzzled at first, why would she want to spend time with a teacher that can't stop staring at her. For a moment, we just stared at each other, I couldn't think of anything to say to the most beautiful girl I have ever seen.
"Umm...was there anything you wanted Bella or do you just do this at the end of every class?" I eventually asked, tearing my eyes away from her gaze. She stared at me for awhile so I decided to give her a little push.
"Well...umm...I don't usually do this...umm...I just...umm...didn't hear the bell...yeah" she stuttered nervously.
Gosh I wish I could read her mind just this second.
"Do you always have trouble speaking?" I laughed.
"Umm...no...Umm...I better be off then...umm...bye" she made a dash for the door but she tripped over a foot of the table.
I saw her falling, and I just acted on instinct. I caught her just before she hit the ground.
The moment I did it I regretted it.
Her smell was so overpowering, I could almost taste it on my tongue.
But there was something even more powerful then that.
I wanted so much to just stroke her skin or kiss her lips. But of course I couldn't, that would be way out of line. But it was just so tempting…
I had never felt anything like this in my 109 years of living...if that's what you could call it.
I pulled her up right so that she was only inches away from my face. I saw her take a breath to settle herself.
'Are you always this clumsy?' I asked her smiling.
She nodded slightly and blushed deeply.
That rush of blood to her cheeks almost sent me over the edge of my control. I sighed deeply to taught the monster within me, just to make sure I was strong enough.
I saw her eyes glaze over and she started to wobble.
"Are you okay? Your skin is really cold" she asked suddenly, with a worried look on her face.
Then it clicked, I shouldn't be doing this! If she ever found out what I was, what would stop her from spreading the rumour around the school? I doubt anyone would believe her but I still couldn't risk exposing myself and my family.
Then I remembered another aspect of my life, I was married for crying out loud and my wife loved me very much.
But I had never felt anything like holding Bella in my life…There was some sort of spark. This had never happened with my wife.
But still it would hurt her deeply if she ever found out that I had betrayed her.
"No no I'm fine" I said letting her go reluctantly as she tried to reach for my hand.
"Are you sure? It feels like ice" she insisted reaching for my hand.
"Yes I'm sure I'm fine," I paused," You should really go now" I said trying to be responsible.
"Umm...okay...I'll see you around then" she said with a confused look on her face as she headed for the door.
"Bella?" I said quietly.
She spun around enthusiastically.
"Please don't speak of this to and one" I said trying to be serious, "I just started here and I don't want to make a bad reputation for myself if rumours spread"
"I wouldn't think of it" she said sincerely, giving me a heart breaking smile. I can bet if my heart was still beating, it would have skipped about 10 beats.
"Have a good evening Bella" I said smiling back at her.
"Umm...yeah...you too" she said shaking her head.
All of my senses were tingling with pleasure as she left. I doubt she heard my quiet chuckle of pleasure.
