Alright everyone. Here's chapter two!! yipee (and the crowd goes wild). hahahahha i crack myself up (even though that wasn't funny)

By Blahboredom123 (whoot!!)

My eyesight grazed the road occasionally as I drove my family home from school. I had my evening planned. Everything in place, set in stone. A good read, homework, then I would relax and listen in on some of the dreams in the town. Always a sorrowful institution.

Alice was chattering with Rosalie about some she sale blow out that they were forcing me-against my will-to drive them to. Alice's head tilted backwards ever so slightly and her eyes glazed over.

"Alice." Jasper whispered-taking her hand.

Her thoughts were confusing, as were all of the thoughts she had during a vision, but this was different, I couldn't see the vision. She wouldn't let me. I had never seen me block me out so well. It was impressive.

Her breath came in a gasp- not that she needed to breath. Confusion spread across her face as she searched for words.

"What is it?" Jasper asked lightly. He was worried about her, it didn't take my ability to know that.

"It was-" She took a hasty glance at me. "It was nothing."

"Alice. I don't keep secrets from any of you, none of us do. Please tell us. We will understand whatever it is." I reasoned. It was true, she was deceiving us, I knew this was not nothing. She was blocking her mind, she obviously didn't want any of us to know- not even me, her confident.

"It was Edward, that's all, he just looked happy." Emmett laughed heartily.

"Well, I do believe that that's news to celebrate!" Everyone joined in on his laughter. I was slightly taken aback from their laughter and joking on my behalf. I was not a depressed man, a loner maybe. But not depressed- although my family would argue otherwise.

I followed my routine, swaying from it slightly as the gossip minded people thought. The news today seemed to be that a new girl was starting at school. Boring. I dismissed the voices and carried on reading.

I could hear Alice approaching my door. She knocked hesitantly before I invited her inside.

Her dance like walk entertained me and I laughed as she flitted around my room, looking for a suitable place to be. She settled on my leather couch.

"Edward?"

"Hmm?" I asked. I had started reading again.

"Would you like me to take you hunting?"

" What? Now? No thank you Alice, I went just last week with Carlisle and Emmett."

"I know, I just though-"

"Alice, I want to know what you saw."

"I have told you what I saw."

"Not all, just that I was happy."

"You were. Fine, you want more detail? You were here, standing in the doorway smiling like an idiot. Everyone was watching you and we were all glad that you were so...delighted."

"Is that all?"

"Yes"

"ALICE!" I yelled, frustrated. I hated it when people watched their thoughts around me, I really depended on knowing what people thought.

"I have to go."

"Fine."

"Feeding, last chance."

I chuckled "No chance." I muttered under my breath. I was fine how I was, and my nighttime agenda was already disrupted by her.

Later that night

I sighed slightly, nearly everyone was asleep, except a few troubled minds and my cursed adoptive family. I listened in on a few minds, mostly middle aged women, up late worrying about their children, husbands, and parents who were becoming old. There were a few teenage minds awake. I stretched my ability to the max extent and pried myself into a jock at our school.

I need to do two more reps then I'm done for the night. Hey, there's a new girl tommorrow, wonder what she's like. Wonder what she looks like! Chief's daughter though, tough.

I exited his mind. He was rather un-original. But there seemed to be a theme tonight in everyone's thoughts- A new girl-. Silently and to myself I wondered if she was a vampire, maybe that's why Alice didn't want to tell, maybe she just wanted the new vampire to be a surprise. I smiled to myself and pushed past her barrier, now weak that Jasper was sending her his emotions.

But she was as blank as a sheet of unused paper. I dispelled my mind from the worries and settled myself into a dream of a young child. I sighed. This is the closest I ever got to actual sleep in the past hundred and six years.

The next day

I parked in the school's parking lot. It was a rainy day if I had ever seen one. I could feel-and hear-the minds of every student silently pleading with god for a sunny day. I wished as well for one ounce of sun to make my skin sparkly and warm.

The Bell was going to ring any minute. I turned, a large red truck caught my eye. It's fenders were bulbouse and rounded. olden style. It looked slow- I scowled at it. I had never seen it before. Probably a new car belonging to a student with a new license. One that was horrible, yet loved beyond beleif. After 3 years I had given up that charade. No car was a good car- unless it was fast. Like my beloved volvo- shiny and perfect in every way.

The day was going by fast- the way I preferred days at school. I had settled down to my lunch period of avoiding my lunch. My head was tilted away from the rest of my family's- listening in on the unoriginal minds of the Fork's student body. Everything seemed to generate around one person; Isabella Swan, the new girl. Every male mind was a new longing. A new unkindled lust apearing. It made me sick. I wished for the olden times, when putting a hand on a woman's leg was scandelous.

I was remeniscing when an overpowering scent hit me full on the face, as if a boulder had landed on me from above. It was floral, lilac. It held a certain sweetness to it, yet was not the sickly sweet of werewolves. My mouth was watering, and I knew my eyes had churned into an inky blackness. That was when Isabella Swan had walked into the lunchroom- and my life.

I tried desperately to ignore the sheer cries of hunger emmiting from the utter depth of my being. Jasper had grown worried with the feeling of my urgency. His thoughts were dark, always laced with the urge for blood that comes with new vampires. Alice stood and threw her lunch in the bin. I listened in on the conversation the new girl, and Jessica were having.

"who are they" I heard an angel's voice whisper. I looked up unintentionally to gaze quickly at Jessica. My eyes sweeped over Isabella with the speed only a vampire would be able to use, and I was looking down at my unopened soda can again. I felt self conciouse in Jessica's mind. She was always assessing boy's movements, and surprisingly, she was quite acurate.

I heard Jessica giggle. "That's Edward and Emmett Cullen, and Rosalie and Jasper Hale. The one who just left is Alice Cullen; they all live together with Dr. Cullen and his wife." She was talking under her breath. They were talking about us. We were always a topic of conversation; what with our devestatingly good looks, however, in the eyes of this girl i couldn't help but feel a human emotion; hope. Hope that someone would truly like me, not only for my good looks, but for my intellect, my company. I shifted my mind, searching for the girl's voice in her own head, in the hope that her thoughts were centered around me. Nothing, only white noise. Either this little girl was completely brain dead, or my mind is on FM, while she is the only one on AM.

"That's Edward. He's gorgeouse, of coarse. But don't waste your time. He doesn't date. Apparently none of the girls here are good looking enough for him." Jessica sniffed, a clear case of sour grapes. She must have remembered when I turned her down.

After a few more minuted my family and I left. I could feel the female eyes traveling after us. Their minds quickly returned to their previouse thinkings; ah humans and their small attention spans.

I headed off to biology. I always liked biology, even as a human. And I was exceptionally good in this subject; even though I am perfect in every subject. Mr. Banner could take a few lessons from me, in fact.

Who is this girl who smells so nice, I wondered. She is incignificant. Maybe some of jasper's thoughts were rubbing off on me. Honestly, all that boy can think about is his stomach!

That was when she walked in. I inwardly groaned, something I never knew I was capable of. She stumbled her way over to me. I felt my arms itch to jump out and save her from falling into a desk. However, they behaved and I watched her slump into the seat next to me.

I felt myself stiffen. She smelt so good. There are so many things that I could do lure her out of the classroom. I trembled slightly and leaned away from her, trying to get her dizzying scent out of my head. It didn't work. I began thinking of all of the possible thing I could say to her. Would you like me to carry your books for you? Here, let me show you to your next class. Would you like to step into a dark corner where no one will see me drain your life? I could say anything to her, and she would come. But I can't do that, not in this classroom filled with children, not to Carlisle. Oh, what would Esme think of me? Emmett would beat me, and Rose would snub her nose. Jasper would try to stop his wife from attacking me. My family would hate me.

Her eyes looked up at me, puzzled. And that was when I realised I had been staring at her. But instead of looking away I just stared at her. The devil in carnation. I almost felt the need to spit on her and tell her to go away. This beautifull, beautifull devil.

The bell rang and I sprung out of my seat and swerved fluidly out of the door. I could hear faintly the nasal voice of Mike Newton.

"So, did you stab Edward Cullen with a pencil, or what?" He laughed. But before I could hear the rest of his dialect I was too far away.

Later that day I found myself in the office. I was a man on a mission. And that mission was avoiding my hunger.

"I just need to switch biology classes with someone." I insisted, laying on all of my charm. I could practically see her melting in front of my very eyes.

"I don't think I can do that, dear." She whispered. I looked up from underneath my lashes.

"I'll take any period. I just need a change."

"Dear I really wish I could, but-" And with that thye door opened. The air was laced with freesia. It was her.

"Never mind. then." I replied hastily as I rushed for the door.

Why was god playing with me? testing me? Could he really hate me this much?
