AN: Hey... so this is my VERY first fanfic, ever... Hope you enjoy :)
Chapter 1: At First Sight
Class was as boring as ever again today. Not even bullying the dork in front of me seemed fun anymore. So all I did was to watch other people shiver and sneeze to Alaska's snow and low temperature.
"Seth," my now best friend, Edward Cullen, whispered from behind me.
I turned my head. "What?"
"We're out hunting tonight. You game?"
Is Nessie coming, too? I thought.
"Yes."
"Well, good-bye Jake."
I turned to the front, sulking to myself.
It's been two years since I've moved from La Push, my hometown, to study here in Alaska. It's been two years since Jake, Quil and I started changing the history of wolves and vampires.
Who said we can't coexist? Look at us now! We're living harmoniously together like family.
"Are you coming?" Bella, Edward's wife, whispered again from behind me. Though it's just a whisper, my wolf senses let me hear her voice loud and clear—as though she's talking right beside me.
"You guys playing?" I whispered back.
"Baseball," Edward said with a smile in his voice.
You're always excited when it comes to baseball, men, I thought.
He chuckled. Eight years ago I found it hard to believe that Edward was answering my thoughts instead of my words. Until Carlisle, his father, told me about vampires having… special abilities.
Edward, for example, could read minds.
"Give me until the end of the period," I whispered as Mr. Gregory came into class.
"Settle down, sophomores!" He instructed. Most of the class did, only those jerks trying to piss him off were making noises.
Gregory cleared his throat, and—finally—peace and quiet reined the class. "We have a transfer student. I hope you all treat her well."
I felt excitement fill the air. What was so exciting about a transfer student?
"Ms. White?" Gregory asked, looking at someone out the door.
"Good luck," I heard the other person whisper, and I know Edward and Bella did, too, since both of them smirked along with me.
At first I thought I was dreaming. I saw coming inside the four walls of this classroom a girl who looked like an angel.
She turned to face the class when she was in the center.
"Um… hi," She said. Though she stuttered, her voice sounded like music. "So… I'm Carienne White… Nice to… meet you?"
She was—unbelievably—looking at me. She had unnatural aquamarine-blue eyes, paper-white complexion complemented by light-brown long hair.
She shifted positions and she looked at Edward. Her face suddenly became paler, and her expression turned blank. I felt my chest twist.
I'm in LOVE?
"Clearwater?" Gregory called out, looking directly at me.
"Free," I said, fighting to hide the excitement in my voice. Will he be letting the young girl sit next to me?
"Well, Ms. White? Please take the seat beside Mr. Clearwater." Gregory glared at me, and I smirked.
I won't be bullying anyone for sometime.
Edward chuckled, obviously amused by my thoughts.
The girl walked toward me, and it felt like heaven to finally have her beside me.
"Hi," she greeted, smiling politely as she sat.
"Hello," I greeted, not—never—taking my eyes off her.
"I'm Carrienne… You can call me Yen for short."
"Hi Yen, I'm Seth Clearwater."
I held out my hand, and she took it. We barely shook hands as I froze when she touched me.
"Seth," Edward said, amused.
"Shut it, men," I told him.
Class started, and I honestly tried to listen to Biology. But Ness could teach me this subject in a day and I'd understand EVERYTHING.
After the period, I noticed Yen checking her schedule.
"What's your next class?" I asked her.
"Um… English," She answered.
Wow, destiny. "Really? Mind walking with me there? It's my next class, too."
"Wow, that'd be great! Thanks."
"Wait for you by the door."
I stood and walked toward the door, where Edward and Bella usually waited for me.
"So?" Bella said, sounding thrilled.
"So what?" I asked.
"Are you coming?" Edward asked me again.
I looked at Yen. She was fixing her things.
"I take that as a no." He took Bella's hand and practically dragged her out the room.
"Tell me EVERYTHING," Bella said before she disappeared down the hall.
"Sure," I answered.
I turned around and almost hit someone right on the face. Yen.
"Sorry," I said quickly, balancing her by the elbow.
She stood straight, and stared at my hand on her elbow.
"Yen?" I asked.
"Seth, you're burning," she said.
Oops. I quickly let her go and went out the room.
"Shall we?" I asked, fanning my hand in front of me.
"Of course," She answered, effortlessly walking beside me.
Throughout our chat toward the English classroom I've made sure NOT to touch her. Of course, I was running a one-oh-nine Fahrenheit temperature!
"We're here," I told her.
She looked up and gulped, causing me to laugh.
"Don't laugh!" she said, blushing a deep red.
"Aw, how cute!" I teased her.
I was sure of three things: first, Carrienne White was a perfect human. Second, she was cute, friendly and a very lovable person. Third: I love her... Too much.
I might end up imprinting on HER.
