Jasmine sat down next to everyone in the canteen. She was too preoccupied to learn or remember the names of the people she was listening to. As she turned to begin actually listening to one of the black haired girls were saying he caught her eye; stalking across the room with the grace and prowess of a gazelle and the power of an enraged lion. He walked with 4 others, two girls and two boys, - all with a similar beauty.

"Who are they." she asked without removing her eyes from the mystifying and beautiful people across the room from her.

Lisa looked up.

"They are the Cullen's, totally hot but don't tend to talk to people they don't know." She smiled staring dreamingly in the general area of the tall blonde boy. "The blonde boy over there," the one you are totally obsessed with? Far away on the other side of the room Edward chuckled informing Jasper of this new discovery. "Is called Jasper, he is really hot even if he looks a bit in pain most of the time. He doesn't talk to people at all he just glares at you. The brown haired girl is called Alice, She is really strange. Then the tall blonde girl is Rosalie, she is a bitch I wouldn't even waste your time trying to communicate with that." Will you get to the point? you know there's only one I am actually bothered about. Again on the other side of the room the bronze haired blue eyed boy laughed, conveying Lisa's feeling of bitchiness. "The HUGE one is Emmett he is a bit scary and strange. " She smiled at me, "Then there is biology boy, Edward. The intoxicatingly beautiful Edward Cullen, totally gorgeous but no one here is good enough to take his fancy."

Rachel a tall black haired girl leant over.

"Hot or no Hot they're still wrong. There Dr and Mrs Cullen's foster kids; they came down from Alaska but they are all 'together' Alice and Jasper, and Rosalie and Emmett. I don't even think that is legal."

"Rachel chill they aren't actually related."

"But it's still strange."

Jasmine had stopped paying attention again. Edward was staring at her. His eyes full of an emotion she couldn't place, not quite lust, almost hatred fused with something else. What had she done so wrong to anger this god of beauty?

Suddenly he stood up so fast and left with unbelievable speed leaving the others in a state of shell shock.

"I can't stay here, can't be here when she is." He moaned as he left

"What was that all about and who is SHE?" Alice asked searching his future and seeing nothing.

EDWARDS POV

I had to get out of here, away from forks, away from her; away from the memory of her it was driving me mad. I drove so fast along the small road to the house.

"Esme, Is Carlisle home or at the hospital?"

"Why aren't you at school Edward?" I closed my eyes and took a breath.

"I was, but now I need to talk to Carlisle." I shouted back up along the corridor

"He is at the hospital." I whispered a thank you and left quickly before she had a chance to interrogate me.

I was in a rush, and I suspected that my Volvo wouldn't get me away fast enough so it was time to bring out the big boys.

As the Vanquish rolled out of the garage I could almost hear Alice's visions as if she were willing me to, persuade me to change my mind.

"CARLISLE." I almost yelled as I entered his office. "I need your help."

The blonde haired doctor stood up from his desk. He radiated calm even as I was on the verge or turmoil. He pushed his blonde hair out of his face and sighed.

What's the problem Edward? He asked with a kind concern.

"A girl, she smells so...." I couldn't find a way to explain it without disappointing my adoptive father and loving mentor. "I don't know I can fight it." Carlisle sighed.

"What do you intend to do about this issue?" He asked kindly, even near the aura of calmness that was Carlisle I still couldn't concentrate, couldn't think.

"I don't know." I was pacing now back and forward now. "I don't want to hurt Esme by leaving again but I fear it is my only choice."

"If it is what you must do Esme will surely understand, and I cannot stop you?" I shook my head.

"I am going to spend some time with the others in Alaska." Giving me a brief hug he looked at me I will miss you my son, be back soon and with that I left out into the darkening sky.
