Chapter 2

Bella's POV

I decided to stop by the ladies' room first before proceeding to my class. I knew it was unnecessary, but I wanted to make sure that I looked good before I do bump into any one of them. I looked beautiful now and I wanted to make sure he sees what he has left when he does see me.

I walked to my next class, English and there were a lot of students already inside. I entered the room and they all stared at me. I looked away; I still wasn't used to all the attention. Maybe it was because it was unwanted attention.

I handed my slip to the teacher, not looking at any of the students.

"Well, Miss Dewey, here you go. You can sit beside Mister Cullen over at the back."

I stopped my eyes from going wide and from betraying myself. I had to make sure I acted like I knew none of them. I sighed quietly then walked over to sit beside the man who had slammed a hammer to my heart, breaking it into billions of pieces.

I sat down into my chair and looked straight ahead.

Please don't let him talk to me. Please don't let him talk to me.

"Hello, I'm Edward Cullen," he said politely. Damn it!

I turned to my left and looked at him; he was smiling.

I smiled back and said, "Hi, I'm Jane Dewey. It's nice to meet you." Not really. I faced ahead of me again.

"I noticed your eyes are gold, which must mean you're vegetarian, right?" He was clearly trying to make a conversation.

I faced him again, "Yes, that's right." I said with another smile and faced in front again.

"So, which coven do you belong to?" Damn it, stop talking to me. I'm going to get a kink in my neck from facing towards and away from you.

"Uh, the Dewey coven," I said, chuckling a bit. It sounded like a question. He's obviously trying to make a conversation that he doesn't even think out his questions. I mean, which coven else could I belong to if my last name was Dewey?

"Oh. Right," he looked down, a bit embarrassed maybe.

"So, have you been here in Forks long?" He continued.

I turned my head to him again, smirking, trying to hide the little amusement I found in this situation.

"What?" he demanded.

"The teacher is going to kick us both out of class if we keep talking," I told him, amused.

He looked down, a bit disappointed. I decided to be friendlier and to play my role better.

"Maybe we can talk after this is over. This is my last class after all," I told him.

He looked up to me and smiled, "Okay, this is my last class too."

I gave him an answering smile then faced forward.

After an hour, class ended. This is it. I told myself. When the bell rang, he faced me and smiled. I smiled back too, not really meaning it.

We walked through the hallways towards the parking lot.

"So, like I asked before, have you been here in Forks long?" he continued.

"Not really, only for a couple of months. We came down here from Canada," I decided not to mention that I've only actually returned here.

"What about you and your family? I noticed at lunch that you had many siblings," I asked innocently.

He grinned at me saying, "Yes, I live with my 2 brothers, 2 sisters, my parents and my girlfriend Sabine." Gak. Sabine? My name was way better. "We actually came back here after over 130 years," he added.

"I see," I said lamely.

"Hey, maybe you and your family can sit with us tomorrow at lunch. We've never encountered another vampire family in this area before," he offered.

Damn it. Why is he being so nice?!

"Sure, we'd love that," I tried really hard not to make a gagging sound.

We've reached the parking lot and he walked with me until I reached my car, a simple shiny black BMW.

"So, I guess I'll see you tomorrow," I told him, trailing off, feeling the pockets of my jeans for my car keys. They weren't there. Instead, there was a piece of paper inside my right pocket. I took it out and read it.

Haha! I know you love me Jane, no matter what I do. –Lisa

"Damn it, Lisa!" I yelled as I crumpled the paper.

"What's wrong," Edward demanded, brows furrowed.

"My sister decided to play a prank on me and took my car keys. Where am I supposed to stay while I wait for them?" I said, clearly, very clearly, annoyed.

"You can sit with me in my car, I'm waiting for my siblings too," he offered.

I panicked inside. No way am I getting into a car with him alone. I might just end up strangling him.

"Uh, you've been too nice already," I said with a nervous laugh. "I'll just sit here," I said pointing to the top of my car's trunk.

"Are you sure?" he questioned.

"Absolutely!" I said with a little too much enthusiasm.

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow at lunch," he added then went to his car, a silver Volvo. It was no longer the same silver Volvo he had a century ago, this one was more modern and it seemed faster. What is up with him and Volvos? I thought to myself as I hopped on the trunk of my car, crossing my legs as I sat. I took out my copy of The Woman in White and continued reading it. I started it just last night and I was already more than halfway done.

Edward's POV

I went to my car and sat inside, waiting for my family and Sabine. I watched Jane jump up to the top of her car's trunk and cross her legs. That sweater she had on looked like it clung to her body like second skin. I shook my head, ridding that thought. I have Sabine, I should be happy.

She took out a book, and started to read it. It was The Woman in White and it looks like she's almost done with it.

I just sat inside my car, watching her until her sister and brother approached her.

"Heeeey Janey-kins!" Her sister Lisa skipped to her.

Jane's eyes narrowed at her, "Gee thanks a lot, sis," she sneered at the word.

"Aw, don't get mad, honey," Lisa took out her hand and stretched it out towards Jane, "here you go."

Jane kept her book then got down from the trunk. "You have the keys, you drive."

I laughed at her expression, she looked annoyed.

"Don't be mad little sister, you know how she is," her brother said to her, putting his arm around her. I know I shouldn't feel this over someone I barely knew but I just thought I felt… jealous.

"Whatever, Kevin," she rolled her eyes.

"So where's Philip?" Lisa asked.

"Here I am!" They all looked over to their right as a male vampire approached them. He was good looking, in a way. He had a really buff body and he had short, curly brown, almost blond hair. He walked to Jane's side and put his arm around her waist, "Did you miss me honey?"

This is irrational! I have no reason to feel jealous! I barely know Jane! I shouted in my head.

"You know I did, love," Jane said, giving the guy a peck on the cheek.

"Hey Kev, hey Lis," he greeted them.

"Hey Philip, now that you're here, let's get going," Kevin said.

I watched them speed out of the parking lot, the same time my family reached my car.

"Hi Edward," Sabine greeted me mentally as he hopped in the passenger seat.

"Hello, love," I greeted, kissing her lips.

Alice and Jasper got inside the back seat while Rosalie and Emmet rode in Rose's red Ferrari.

"I can't wait to get home, then Edward and I can…" Sabine started thinking. I immediately blocked her out of my mind. I suddenly lost interest.

"So Alice, I think you'll be happy at what I'm about to say," I started when we were near the house.

"What?" The three of them thought.

"It turns out one of the Deweys, Jane, is in my English class. She's really nice and since I know you and Emmet would want to meet them, I decided to invite her and her family to join us tomorrow at lunch," I said proudly.

"Why would he do that?" Sabine thought to herself.

"Great!" Jasper said.

"Wow Edward! That's great!" Alice told me happily.

"I know, thanks Alice. Because Sabine, it would be rude not to make friends with another vampire coven in the area," I said the first one with a smile, the second one with a snort.

We were already home now.

"Finally, we're home. Edward, meet me upstairs?" Sabine thought seductively.

"Uh, actually love, I was thinking of going hunting. Maybe next time, okay?" I didn't give her the chance to respond. I left her at that and ran out to the woods.

I couldn't describe what I was feeling or why I was feeling it. I felt warm and genuinely happy. I haven't felt like that in a very long time. During the very short while I talked with her, I felt at ease. She gave that feeling of comfort.

As I ran, I kept seeing Jane's face in my head. I was still trying to see why she looked so familiar.

I didn't really hunt. I just ran around the woods, feeling the exhilaration of the speed.

Jane, I thought. I had the feeling we were going to be great friends.
