Chapter 2

Edward's Point of View

I knew what she was, she was a hybrid vampire but somehow different. Our eyes met and something just clicked that made me not want to look away. She had glassy caramel colored eyes with long flowing brown hair and light skin.

She had a small figure and was very slim. Though she was thin, she had curves that made her look absolutely amazing. I was starting to fall for Isabella Swan whom I haven't even met.

Bella's Point of View

The boy with bronze colored hair was staring. I knew that he had figured it out. I quickly read his mind while keeping my shield up. He was confused…and filled with love?

Edward's Point of View

Someone called me but they didn't say my name. I started to walk towards Isabella Swan.

I tried reading her mind but once again, failed at the attempt to do so. As I walked towards her I re-checked my power. Everyone else's mind was easy to decipher except hers.

Thirst burned my throat as I approached closer to Bella. She knew I had figured out what she was.

As I got to her I spoke only so that she could hear me. "Who are you and why did you call me?" Bella responded immediately in her bell-like voice. "I know what you and I know you know what I am but you mustn't tell anyone!"

My emotions were twisted and I knew Jasper could tell. Part of me wanted to get to know Bella and part of me told myself to keep distance. Bella seemed to recognize the confusion on my face and started to walk away. I caught up with her. "I'm Edward Cullen and you are Isabella Swan?" "Yes, it's Bella, that would be me. "Care to explain what just happened over there?"

Bella's Point of View

I strangely found myself attracted to Edward Cullen. We had almost identical schedules and I knew I could trust him. I would be telling Edward important information about me that no one else knew.

We headed to first period when I started to tell him about my powers. He was diligently listening to everything I said. Like he valued each word that came from my mouth.

Second period was the only period when I didn't have Edward. All of the students were anxious and full of thoughts mostly about me. How did she get Edward Cullen so fast? She just came here! I was supposed to have Edward! Wow, the things I could do to her. Most of the thoughts were disturbing while others were just voices of kindness. I sat next to a girl named Jessica Stanley who instantly befriended me.

Jessica kept blabbering about a boy named Mike Newton who is also in this class. To get her to shut up I asked about the Cullens.

"The Cullens mostly keep to themselves so I was surprised that Edward even talked to you." To be honest, Edward did seem like the 'solo' kind of guy. "I'm sure you've already met all of them" Jessica said with no emotion. Class was finally over and third period was gym.

I had inherited my mother's lack of balance and athletic ability when I was human but I don't seem to be tripping since becoming a vampire. I haven't tried any sports since my change. I'm just hoping I've gained some skills since then.

Edward's Point of View

Third period was next, gym. I had always been exceptionally well at sports but Emmett is by far the best in the family.

I knew that Bella would be here (third period) and oddly enough, I was excited. I needed to find out more about her.

There are a thousand secrets hiding behind her surface, her eyes tell all.

We arrived in the gym where Bella was wearing a tight-fitted black tank top and tiny blue shorts. She was absolutely breath taking.

All of the other boys seemed to think so as well. Their fantasies and dreams sickened me with much strength.

The coach paired us up. I was with Jessica Stanley. How great was that.

I longed to be Bella. Desire drowned out all other emotions. Bella was with none other than Mike Newton. How I despised Newton greatly.

Jessica was standing next to Bella talking to her. "Edward Cullen is staring at you."

To be honest, I was.

Bella was every man's dream. She's beautiful, talented, and kind-hearted.

Right then, I knew I needed to make Bella a part of my life.
