The Dreaded Class
Recap:As if on cue, as if her piercingly closed eyes cold see right into my mind, she smirked. Just a subtle shift in the set of her lips, as if she had found what she had been looking for. Just as suddenly her face became emotionless again and she turned back to her "fan club" crowding around her.
The entire exchange had taken all of 5 seconds. But in these five seconds, everything has changed.
After that encounter, I sat in shock until I realized that the cafeteria was empty except for the girl, me and my family, and the ever present Jessica Stanley.
I was amazed to find that instead the blatant jealousy that clouded her mind when Bella first came, Jessica's mind seemed perfectly innocent and happy to be in this girl's presence if not a bit worshipful of her.
My attention was immediately drawn by a soft conversation between the girl and Jessica.
"Edward Cullen is staring at you" Jessica giggled 'No wonder, she so perfect and all, sigh, I wish I could be more like her,'
"I know." the girl said. Strange, her voice seemed almost....musical...completely emotionless but almost mesmerizing... no,no that can't be right.
"So what class do you have next?" asked Jessica as if this was the most important thing in her life right now. As I also listened to her thoughts, it seemed that she was praying for the new girl to be in her class. Also strange.
"I have Biology." once again, the strange voice rang throughout the room. It took a while for the words to sink in. Biology, Biology,for the love of all things holy why does it have to be Biology?
Suddenly I panicked and felt my muscles lock down as an instantaneous reaction. This girl who so reminded me of Bella. What if she smelled just as delicious? What if, this time, I won't be able to control myself?
In my frenzied mind there were only three options that did not involve killing. 1) Skip Class- this I would gladly do were it not for the fact that if I miss any more classes, I would have to redo this year. Hardly a choice seeing what a laughing stalk I would be it that were ever to happen. 2) Tough it Out- I think I might be able to handle this seeing the time I spent with Bella. Perhaps, just like last time, I might be ale to pass the period without making any sudden movements. Just like the time I first met Bella. Or 3) Hold my Breath- this to me seemed the most appealing option right now. Apart from the slight discomfort of sensory deprivation, I think I could handle it, if she does not talk to me.
After long mental debate (around 3 seconds) I decided to go with the third option, Holding my breath.
Once again, as if she could hear every thought I had passing through my head, she passed me and as our eyes met again her lip curled up into a triumphant smirk.
As Emmett shook me out of my shocked state and practically threw me across the hall, I was planning. And hoping. Hoping that I would not lose control over the sect of a person's blood ever again and wishing that I could have nothing to do with this new girl.
I paused right in front of the class room, I took my last deep breath. As I slowly settled my mind, I pushed the door open and stepped inside.
There she was again, her eyes cold as she was surrounded by a small crowd of people gushing about her both inside their minds and out. What was it about this girl that so attracted people to her. It was almost as if her presence is the opposite of ours, drawing people in instead of repelling them.
As I stared, I finally realized that she was sitting in Bella's old seat, right next to mine. I swallowed a curse and headed over to my seat determined to have nothing to do with this girl. As I flopped down on the seat, I felt the crowd around her slowly disperse as everyone settled down for class.
"Hello."
I turned to face the girl beside me, not daring to waste my breath and speak. I was immediately occupied by her voice. Plain enough on the top. Light, soft and emotionless. But underneath her voice I could barely hear it again, a musical undertone to the plainness of her facade. It sounded hypnotizing, like clear spring water or a choir of angels (A/N read Artemis Fowl: the Arctic Incident. the girl's voice resembles a fairy's mesmer voice e.g. Cudgeon mesmerizing that human dude to get him batteries)
"Hello, I'm Sabrina Illumas."
I raised an eyebrow. Illumas? As in Latin for...
She chuckled as if seeing the confusion on my face.
"Yes, it is Illumas as in Latin for 'he ate THAT'"she said, face emotionless again. "I guess I will be forever plagued by a last name that is both masculine and about eating. I wonder what glorious thing the first of my family ate anyway to get his name changed to that..."
I was suddenly struck by how relaxed she was despite the way I was probably staring her down by then. She seemed so comfortable sitting there a scant few inches from a monster. Of course she didn't know what I was. Perhaps her brain's fight and flight system is backwards like Bella's. Why, oh WHY did this, this Sabrina person remind me so much of Bella? Perhaps this is the universe's way of punishing me.
Right on cue, Sabrina chuckled under her breath. Why was she being so aggravating? As I continued to examine her, I noticed that she wore a necklace with a single giant red gem. I froze. That was no red gem. It was a crystal vial shaped like a gem filled with red liquid. I could now see the little screw top where you could unscrew the vial. It was sealed with wax.
"How long are you going to sit there ogling at me?"she demanded, " we have a project due by the end of this period! You've wasted precious time! Focus!"
I was shocked. If I could blush I would have done right then. She's so much more different than the others. Even Bella. I nodded slowly as she once again chuckled over the shell shocked expression that was probably on my face right then. I once again strained to hear her thoughts but once again, nothing.
I passed the entire period not saying one word. She probably thought I was mute or had a sore throat or something. Her voice seemed strange the whole time she was talking. Apart from her smirk earlier in the cafeteria and her occasional chuckles, her face and voice carried no emotion whatsoever. Even under my detailed gaze, her face was smooth, almost like a vampire... no, no that can't be it. How can she be even more frustrating than Bella? At least, her face gave me an insight to what she was thinking. The bell rang and I winced. Somethings you just can't get used to.
Suddenly Sabrina got up in one fluid movement and practically floated past me and glided out of the room with a posse of love sick boys and chattering girls trailing behind. Her last words hung in the air as my ears rang from her musical voice.
"Goodbye Edward Cullen, I will see you later."
I felt as if that short sentence carried greater meaning than what it seemed. And her voice when she said my name. It sounded, strange. Like she wanted to tell me something but couldn't. I shook my head to clear the thoughts and stalked out of the room.
Alice darted next to me, agitated. Alice was the worst affected by Bella's departure other than me. She seemed worried and concentrated at the same time. I let my mental barriers loose a little so I could hear her thoughts.
'Edward, did you talk to the dogs, recently? Because I can't get a read on any of you! You most of all. I could see Rosalie, Carisle, Esme, and Jasper fuzzily but OK. Emmet is a little more indefinite. Yours is a complete blank! Also I can't see the new girl at all including the students around her... is there something wrong with me?? What should I do??AAAAAAhhhhhhhhh'
I immediately tuned out her unhappy ranting and focused on her memories. I suddenly noticed the problem.
"It's Sabrina the new girl! I can't get a read on her either. She sat next to me during Bio."I muttered too fast for any passerby to hear.
Alice's eyes widened as I told her of everything that has happened between me and the new girl. Inside her mind, it was a turmoil of confusion.
'What? The only people I couldn't read before are werewolves. Do you think she's one of them? But, wait, no, she can't be, you can read the werewolves' minds! Who, or what is she???'
I shook my head and told her to keep it from the others in our family until we knew for sure. I don't want them to worry incessantly.
Just then Emmet walked up to me with Rosalie.
"Hey Edward! Get a whiff of this new girl! She smells... strange..."
I bet ur all wondering who this awesome new person is!!!
Patience people, u'll know soon enough... IF I GET REVIEWS!!!!!!!! (10 remember?)
