First sight

Edward Cullen's POV

I walked down the aisle and glanced back one last time. I gave a small smile to my mom who returned it, wiping her eyes. Then, I turned around taking a deep breath. This was it. I was leaving Chicago forever, leaving my friends, my mom, my school... at least I got to go with my two brothers- Emmet and Jasper, and my two sisters- Rosalie and Alice. As I got onto the plane to Forks, I gazed up at the sunny sky. This was the last time I would see this much sun. I'd heard dad's tales about how rare it was to the sun there, how the grey clouds would blanket the sky until the darkness of the night took over. At least you could see the stars at night; here in Chicago you could barely see the darkness of the night because of all the city lights. I smiled at this thought, but my smile quickly disappeared as someone thumped me on my back.

I turned to glare at Emmet who was grinning stupidly.

"You're holding up the line bro," he said, still grinning.

Alice stood behind him trying to stifle a giggle.

I turned around and marched into the plane and showed my ticket to the air hostess.

She smiled and nodded, pointing to the right side of the plane. I smiled back and sifted down the plane aisle glancing at the numbers and letters above every seat until I found 27A.

Emmet sat n the seat next to mine and Rosalie next to him while Alice and Jasper sat on the other side of me, across the aisle. I sat back and heaved a sight. Today was going to be a long day.

Mom got remarried to some guy named James and she wanted to go travelling with him. Me and my brothers and sisters thought we were getting in the way so we were moving in with our dad, Carlisle, who was a doctor at the local hospital in a tiny town called Forks, which was in Washington.

As the plane started to move, I caught a young, maybe about 15, staring at me with a familiar expression in her eyes; attraction.

I repressed a groan and turned my eyes away. This was going to be a long plane ride.

Just as we landed onto the safe ground, Emmet groaned. I turned away from him thinking he was going to be sick because of all the things he ate, but he muttered something else,

"Well crap, there goes that baseball game I've been dying to watch."

I turned back to him with an amused expression on my face and was just about to say's something back to him when the planes intercom crackled to life.

"Please remain in your seats and keep your seatbelts fastened until the plane has officially stopped. We are now at Seattle airport. Thank you for flying with us today and we hope you have a god stay,"

And with that, the plane crackled some more before it stopped completely, just as the plane did.

I woke up in my new bedroom. It was a little bigger than my old one back in Chicago and it was designed just the same. But it wasn't the same.

Today was the first day of school and I was feeling slightly uneasy. I didn't know what these Forks people would think of us new kids.

I sighed decide to get up and get ready for school.

After a quick shower, I brushed my teeth then went downstairs to fix breakfast. By the time I finished my cereal, Emmet and Alice were up and having breakfast and Rosalie was getting ready in her room while Jasper was in the bathroom.

Once we were all ready, we went out to my, well, our new car that Carlisle had bought for us, since he wouldn't be able to take us because of his work. The car was a shiny, silver Volvo in the latest design. It had a black interior and a slight tint to the windows.

I was thrilled when we got it for us because I'm car-mad.

When we finally got to school, I saw that Jasper looked horrified as he scanned the full parking lot and I realized it was because it looked like we had the shiniest, newest car at tiny school. Jasper hated attention. As soon as we parked and got out, more heads turned our way. I saw a couple of people gawp at Rosalie's beauty, Emmet's muscles, and Alice's pixie-like frame.

I rolled my eyes while Rosalie sniggered. Then we all moved forward towards the door which had a white plate stuck on it and read the word OFFICE. This school was a lot smaller than our old one back in Chicago. This school was just made up with a lot of big old houses joined together. It actually looked quite pretty.

Emmet led the way looking ridiculously like a bodyguard. As soon as we got our schedules from the reception, me and Alice went off to biology while Emmet, Rosalie and Jasper walked the other way to the senior classes.

When we walked in, all heads turned to us and all conversations stopped.

"Aah, you must be Edward and Alice Cullen. Please, take a seat, the lesson was just about to start," said the teacher cheerfully. "Oh, and I'm Mr Banner," he added.

We both murmured thanks and took our seats next to a girl with dark frizzy hair. She babbled excitedly to us for the next hour, then introduced us to Mike Newton, a friend of hers who she seemed to lust over.

I'd forgotten her name already.

The next two lesson's, trig and calculus, went by pretty much the same with people staring at us, introducing themselves and talking to us.

Then came lunch. I met my family outside the cafeteria and took a deep breath. Emmett led us into the large room looking like a ridiculous bodyguard again, then Rosalie, Jasper, Alice then me. We each picked up a tray then joined the end of the lunch queue, following Mike, and who I now remember the curly-haired girl to be called Jessica Stanley's examples. We took our food, paid, and then scanned the hall for a spare table, avoiding people's curious gazes.

"There," murmured Jasper nodding in the direction of an empty table. We followed him over and sat down, Mike and Jessica's friends joining us. We all soon got talking and Mike kept babbling about some pretty girl he saw, while the boys clapped him on his back and wolf-whistled. Jessica made a face and looked away. I chuckled and turned my looked at all the people in my new school. My gaze landed on the other side of the cafeteria.

That's when I saw them.
