I park my old red Chevy and switch off the engine. I step out of the car and slip a bit on the snowy ground, as I make my way to my first class.
I sit in my seat, next to Mike Newton. Where do I start with Mike Newton, my so-called friend? The only reason he hangs out with me is because I'm, apparently, the popular guy of the school. I can't deny that I'm popular, but the most popular, I'm not sure.
"Hey, it's me main man, Edward, what's up?" Mike said as I shook the snow out of my hair.
"Nothing really, how about you?"
"Well, a new girl just moved here from LA, I think" he said with an excited look on his lean face. Obviously he was hoping to hook up with this girl.
"Really, what's her name?" I said with fake enthusiasm in my voice. I wasn't really interested in this girl, whoever she was she would be fake and superficial just like every girl at this dreary, little school.
"Bella Cullen, she has 2 brothers Emmet and Jasper Cullen. I haven't seen her yet but people have been telling me she is hot and…" Mike kept rambling and I stopped listening. I couldn't take anymore of this shallow talk. Why am I not on the same page as everyone?
As the day progressed, everyone kept talking about this new girl, yet most of them hadn't even met her yet. It's so superficial to judge a person's looks rather then their personality.
At lunch, I waited in line to grab my meal when I saw her. She was so beautiful. Her brown hair swept across her pale face and her topaz eyes scanned the room and found mine. I know I was being shallow as well but I couldn't help it. I couldn't stop starring, and it looked like neither could she.
But then the strangest thing happened, all of a sudden, her mouth tightened and her fists clenched. She looked like she was in pain, being tortured by something. She unexpectedly glared at me as if I was the cause of her anguish.
Bella's VersionI found his eyes, who ever this boy was and his was quite handsome, for a human I mean. I sat there watching him and vice verser.
But then, all of a sudden the window blew open and sent a gust of wind straight at me and that was when I caught his smell. His beautiful, delicious scent. It smelt so tasty. The temptation was unbearable. I could see his face. It looked confused and scared. I could tell he was wondering why my fists were clenched and my faced was pained, but this was the only way I could stop myself from running across the room and slaughtering to death.
I then began fantasying about killing him. What would he taste like? No, no stop it Bella. But I couldn't help myself. I then began making plans to kill him or lure him outside. But no! We would have to start over again, move somewhere else. I must hold it in, I must not give in to the temptation no matter how hard it is. He then strolled passed me and started talking to his friends.
"See I told you that she was cute," some guy said I think his name was Mike.
"Yeah real cute," the boy with the delicious scent said yet he sounded unsure.
I'll just have to make sure I keep my mind focused and make sure not to make a slip otherwise Emmet, Jasper, Carlisle, Esme and I will have to start over our lives once again.
