To Get What I Want

Chapter 1

Bella P.O.V.

Forks was my home, and has been for 2 years, ever since I moved down here as a freshman to give my mom and her new husband, Phil their newly wed space.

I glanced at the clock in my car, 7:25. I had 5 minutes to get to the school's office where I worked before and after school for an hour, to earn money that I was saving up to buy a new car, at first, but now that I have bonded with my car, I don't think I want to let it go. So now I have some money on the side for when I go grocery shopping, and to pay for gas.

I unlocked the door to the office right on time, to find it empty and dark as it usually was this early in the morning.

I sat down behind the counter at the front desk, booted up the computer, and waited to watch the students shuffle buy the office on there way to class, and to find their friends. I only really hung out with my friends at lunch, and every once in a while when I would decide that it wouldn't completely kill me to be social and go out to the mall for a couple of hours, so that I can at least keep the friends that I actually had.

I only really had 1 close friend, and that was Jake. He has been my best friend since I first stepped foot into the school. I had known him before from when I would come down and visit Charlie; but now we new everything about each other.

I would never hesitate to go anywhere with Jake. Luckily for me we had almost all of the same classes together, except biology; but that was okay because that class usually went by fast for me anyway, because I had my own lab table, and it is easier and faster to work by myself.

I decided that while I sat here, I could get a head start on the homework that was going to be assigned.

As I started to type my 5-paragraph essay that was going to be due tomorrow for English, I heard the door click open, and an uneasy draft of coldness hit me straight in the face.

I rearranged the coat on my body to heat me up a little bit more from the sudden coldness from the air outside when I looked up into the most blindingly gorgeous golden topaz eyes, I had ever seen.

After what seemed to have been a half hour, I realized that I was still staring at the topaz eyes that had met mine when they stepped into the room.

I noticed this immediately and tore my eyes away reluctantly and stared at the counter where my hands rested as a deep red blush approached my cheeks, steadily, and scorching my face.

I cleared my throat quietly to myself before looking up knowing my face was beet red, to see, not only 1, but 5 pairs of gleaming topaz eyes smiling at me.

I snapped my mouth shut, just now realizing that it had been hanging open for the world to see.

I didn't even have time to control the blush that ran to my cheeks at lightening speed.

To hide my shameful red face, I looked down at a stack of papers and pretended to re- organize them.

"Um, what do you guys need?" I knew what they needed. They needed their slips that they are supposed to hand to each teacher to get it signed.

I knew that that was what they needed because I had never seen them before, and as this is a small school, and I work in the front office, everyone, especially me, knows everyone.

"We need our schedules, and class sheets."

The voice that I heard respond back was one I had never heard before, and it was beautiful. So melodious, and musical, it sounded almost as if he were singing the reply.

Quickly I glanced through the stack of papers I had been pretending to re- organize since they got here.

I looked up from the papers and held my hand out to the boy who had replied to me, trying not to look at his face.

"The Cullen's." I stated mater-of-factly.

"Yes." The boy replied.

I giggled softly to myself before speaking again.

"I heard your father was the new doctor coming to work at the hospital." I stated.

"If that's true, I will be seeing him a lot." Oops. I didn't mean to let the fact that I basically trip over air whenever I get the chance.

I looked hoping that none of them wanted to question me on what I had just said. Then I saw the boy I had been staring at before open his mouth to say something just as the ball rang.

Phew. Just barely missed a Q & A about my obsessive clumsiness.

Unfortunately for me the second I stood up, and grabbed my backpack, I tripped over the strap that was hanging down the side of it, twisted in mid air, and landed on my back with the backpack on top of me.

"Ugh…" I groaned as I felt the pressure of my enormously over stuffed backpack on top of me.

I opened my eyes after hitting the ground to see those honey butter topaz eyes looking down at me with worry creased on his untouched forehead.

He bent down, picked the backpack off of me, and reached his hand out towards me for me to take.

Reluctantly I took it, not wanting to have been in that situation at all.

"Thanks", I mumbled quickly, before fast walking out of the room to get to the sanctuary that was my first class.

As I stepped inside, a blast of warm air hit me, making me shiver from the extreme difference between the air outside, and the warmth of the blast.

Instantly I met up with Jacob over at where we sat in the back of the room.

Edward's P.O.V.

I sped down the streets of Forks towards the school that we were starting at today.

Everyone was a little bit upset that we were being forced to go to school right when we got here, but it was okay for me because I usually didn't do much during a day but listen to my music up in my room.

I like it that way though; but I like school; except for the fact that every person in the school is either thinking rude, or nasty thoughts about me and my brothers and sisters.

I really hoped that this school would have someone not thinking like that.

As we arrived and stepped out of the car at the school, I could already here the thoughts of the people that saw us arrive. So far, no such luck with my friendliness meter here.

Girls goggling, guys rolling their eyes and giving us smirks, the usual. Ugh. Today was going to be a long first day; I could feel it inside me.

We stepped into the small office, all at once, taking in our surroundings. It was very small in there, and it made me a little claustrophobic; especially with Emmett standing right beside me.

I glance in the direction of the girl who was working the main counter, and we all walked up to her at a normal human pace.

I looked down at the top of the girl's head over the counter waiting for her to look up and see us.

The girl slowly lifted her head up and looked straight into my eyes.

It shocked me that she had looked straight into my eyes like that.

I just looked back at her unable to look away.

Her eyes were such a majestic color of brown. With lighter caramel swirls circling her pupils.

They were the most amazing pair of eyes I had ever seen.

I didn't know how long it had been when suddenly a whole bunch of thoughts hit me straight on.

Hello, earth to Edward, we need our papers. –Rosalie

Nice Choice. She's hot, but a human Edward. We knew you were desperate for some action; but a human. –Emmett

Oooh, Edward, what's going on here? Care to explain? –Alice

Wow, Edward. Calm down, seriously. I get this feeling from Emmett. But at least yours aren't under the same intention. Ugh! Emmett, stop looking at Rosalie like that. –Jasper

Ugh! Why did I get the power of reading minds?

I thought to myself as she tore her eyes from mine, and glance down at the tabletop, and then to a stack of papers, where it looked like she was pretending to re- organize them.

I looked back at her face, to see that it was blood red, and she was biting her lip softly, while a smiled curved at the edge of her lips.

My eyes lingered at her lips where she was biting down. Her lips were so plump, and such a soft subtle pink with a hint of red darkening them, making them look so delicious. I just wanted to…

Ah, what was I thinking?

Hey Edward, I'm not a big fan of what your feeling at the moment. Come on man.

I turned my head to glare at Jasper with a 'I don't know what you're talking about' look in my eyes.

He fired back with a 'well you can't blame me' look.

I knew perfectly well that I could blame him. I could blame any one if I wanted to, I just wouldn't let them know that I was blaming them for it though.

I turned my head back to where the girl was still shuffling the papers around.

Then she quickly cleared her throat, and glance back up at us, so that she could actually see what we looked like.

The second she glanced up to get a good look; she dropped her mouth in shock, and stared at us all standing before her.

I knew it she was just like, every other human. Probably picturing some porno in her mind.

Don't ever think that about her again! I mentally slapped myself in the face.

What was that?

I glanced around the room thinking that it might have been one of my siblings; but I knew whose voice it was. Mine.

Hmm. Why would I tell myself not to think that? I always thought that about the girls I saw goggling us. Then I was always backed up with the visual popping into my head.

I decided to make sure that this assumption was right, cause usually I don't give myself a mental slap across the face.

When the girl noticed that she had her mouth hanging open in shock, and she quickly closed it glancing back down to the table, I took that opportunity to see what she was thinking under that luscious head of hair.

What was I saying? Ugh. I really need to stop thinking in such way's; and about a human. It was completely unacceptable.

I quickly shook it off, and focused on her mind. Nothing.

Hmm. That was strange. I never got a blank.

Not from any vampires, and definitely not any humans.

I shook that off quickly as well, as a bit of uneasiness, confusion, and… oh, what was the word? Captivating ness? Whatever, that will do.

I tried again to break through the barrier; she seemed to have around her brain.

Now I was starting to get a little frustrated that I couldn't read her mind.

What is she thinking about? Is she thinking about me? What is causing her to blush so ferociously? Am I making her blush so ferociously? Her blush has such a beautiful crimson shade to it; like her lips. If only, I could just lean in and…

Then suddenly breaking me from my trance the girl started to speak again.

"Um, what do you guys need?" She asked quietly still trying to re- organize the same stack of papers.

Her voice was so soft and sweet. It was music to my ears. As she spoke, the scent from her voice blew over to me, and softly drifted to my noise, and inside my mouth where I could taste it and smell it. It was the loveliest smell I had ever smelled. It was way to tempting for her, and my own good.

This immediately bummed me out, for if I was any where close to her, I don't know how well I would be able to control myself.

I had great control. Almost as good as Carlisle's; but her scent called to me, strongly, to lean in close, and taste the smell that was radiating off of her.

No. I couldn't do that; I wouldn't do that. Not to this poor, innocent, gorgeous, lovely, human being.

Come on, hurry it up Edward; class starts in like 10 minutes, and we all have to find our buildings! –Jasper

Edward, flirt with her at lunch, we need to get to class. –Rosalie

Ah Edward, this is so cute! Ah! I have a great id… La, la, la, la, la. Just get our papers, so we can go to class soon, la, la, la, la, oh yay! La. –Alice

Dude, you can stay here as long as you want, but all the rest of us seriously need to get to class. Turn on the charm a little, though, you look like a googlie-eyed statue. –Emmett

Immediately I saw what I looked like through their eyes. Completely lost in my own world just staring at her with a glimmer in my eyes.

I immediately snapped out of it, as I entered back into my own head. Oh man I really hope she didn't notice. Unfortunately for me, everyone else had.

"We need our schedules and class sheets." I said to her, still somewhat lost in her magnificence.

Smooth. Way to really get the hook up rolling to the back of the room. Come on man, use some of those vampire moves on her already, then you can stop staring at her and see the rest of her later. Emmett said to me through his mind. I growled at him to softly for the girl to hear, but the rest of us could hear it fine.

I didn't want to use my vampire skills on her. She was just to innocent, and beautiful. I didn't want to try and do it Emmett's way. I really want to get to know her. She has fascinated me already. I didn't want to get to know her though unless she wanted to get to know me. Which I'm sure she didn't considering how gorgeous she is. She would match rather want someone who wasn't a beast doomed for hell when he finally died; whenever that was going to be.

The girl then held her hand out finally looking away from the papers and back up at us. I noticed that she was trying not to meet my eyes. She didn't like me. She didn't even want to look at my face.

Well it's better for her than. She's safer that way.

I reached out and grabbed the papers from her, and handed them to the rest of my family.

"The Cullen's." She stated very matter-of-factly. The deep crimson settled down to a soft pink maroon color, sitting there casually, as she spoke.

"Yes." I said. I didn't want to give anything away in my voice about being excited that she sounded interested in my last name; and the fact that she actually knew it.

I heard a soft giggle. It was the best sound in the world to hear her laugh. I felt a bit woozy, as I came back to my senses, just to be wobbly again as her scent drafted my way as she spoke again.

"I heard your father was the new doctor coming to work at the hospital." She stated again. She really sounded like she new a lot about us. And yet I heard the slight tendency in her voice that made it sound like she wanted to know more. Much more about us then she definitely should know or want to know.

But just from hearing the interest in her voice made me all giddy inside. I had never felt like this before. It felt like there were butterflies fluttering around In my stomach just waiting to brake free.

Edward. I heard Jasper warned me. But I didn't want to be warned; I wanted her, and I knew it to. I wasn't going to try to hide it, cause the feeling in the pit of my stomach was too strong to contain with out letting it slip into my facial expressions.

My mind drifted back to what she had just said. She sounded like she had a secret. I desperately wanted to know that secret. I wanted to hear the secret, I want to taste the secret, I wanted to feel…

Edward! Jasper yelled. Cut it out. Do you even know what you are feeling inside? Come on, we need to go to class.

Man. Sometimes Jasper could be so annoying. I wanted nothing more than to have the secret revealed to me, and only me. I wanted it to be our secret.

"If that's true, I will be seeing him a lot." She said with emphasis on the lot part. This sparked my interest indefinitely.

She got another look of shock on her face.

I knew it. That was part of the secret right there. Out in the open for me to analyze. I was going to find out what this secret of hers was.

I was about to ask her a question about it when the bell rang for class to start.

She looked suddenly relieved that I hadn't been able to ask her my question.

She then stood up quickly and grabbed her backpack. I was hoping that I would be able to walk her to her first class, or at least find out what it was.

Then as suddenly as she had stood up, she had fallen down. She tripped over her other foot, twisted in the air, and landed flat on her back, with her backpack on top of her stomach, and let out a soft groan of pain.

Psychologically, I knelt over lifted the backpack off of her, and held out my hand for her to grab. She looked relieved that the weight of her backpack was finally off of her, and she grasped my hand; and let me help her up.

She grabbed her backpack away from me, softly said thanks while another beautiful crimson read spread rapidly over her cheeks and the bridge of her nose; grabbed her backpack, and bolted out the door at a quick pace for a human,

I watched her out the door and across the lawn. It was only then that I realized that I was standing there alone in the middle of the office, after the bell.

Hope you liked the first chapter!

I know, there was a lot of Edward P.O.V. but there will be more different P.O.V's in the next chapter.

Review!
