Chapter 2
Jasper's POV
"Edward!" I hissed quietly. "Stop staring!" We are trying to remain inconspicuous in case you have not noticed!"
He looked back down at his tray and in a second I saw him smiling ever so slightly.
After awhile longer we all left the cafeteria and he didn't look at the pair of girls again.
What was he thinking? If he kept staring at all the girls in school we might as well pack our bags now!
Why did he have to be so difficult? Sometimes I wondered if he was having more trouble being a vampire than me – the newest addition to the Cullen family.
Though I guess we didn't have the same problem. I breathed in a sigh of relief as we stepped outside.
The stench was not quite as bad out here when all the humans were in the cafeteria.
Emmett chuckled, "Can't take it, Jazz?" "Do you need me to walk you home to mommy?"
"No thank you Emmett, I am fine" I said calmly. What was the use of getting mad?
Emmett would be Emmett and he was not going to change any time soon according to Alice.
Alice's POV
Jasper caught up with me for a few seconds before class started, apparently Edward had been staring at girls during lunch.
I sighed "I'll keep an eye on him"
"Not now" Jasper interrupted, "Class is about to start!" "And make sure not to be seen doing you-know-what!"
I ran as fast as I was allowed in public and made it to class just in time.
History, excellent! My best subject – Gee I wonder why?!!
No need to concentrate too hard, I had done this class tons of times!
I looked into what Edward was doing.
~ Vision ~
Edward sat at a small table in Biology. I saw a girl cross the room to get her slip signed. Edward went rigid on his chair as she passed.
Ohhh Edward no!
This must be the new girl Jasper was telling me about – the one Edward stared at!
She tripped over a stray book and just barely managed to catch herself on the corner of a desk.
She got her slip signed and turned around to walk back and seemed to recognize Edward. Of course the only empty chair in the entire classroom was next to Edward…
She sat down and he actually leaned away from her! Could you be more obvious?!
I screamed at him in my mind. His face was angry and he looked like he was standing in the middle of a sewer.
He sat on the very edge of the chair with a fist gripped on top of his leg.
I watched him throughout the class if he made one wrong move I was going to be there to stop him.
Carlisle would not be happy if Edward slipped, especially not so early in the year.
As soon as his class ended he jumped off his chair and walked out the door.
I however was not off the hook so easily – I got detention for not paying attention to the teacher and "ignoring" him.
Even my best trickery couldn't get me out of it, so there I was after school, alone…
When I got home Edward was gone.
"Where is Edward?" I asked urgently. I really hoped he hadn't gone after that girl from his class today.
"He has decided to leave us" Carlisle said glumly.
"What!" Screamed Esme "Edward left?" Without saying goodbye?!"
"I thought he was somewhere with you Alice!"
"I was in detention!"
"Detention, what for?"
"Way to go Alice!" "Real sly!" Emmett guffawed.
Esme glared at him. "Edward is gone!" "And you're still joking around?!" "This is serious!"
"I got detention for ignoring the teacher while watching Edward."
Emmett looked really sorry. "Sorry Alice, I didn't mean anything by what I said."
Jasper winked at me and I knew he was making Emmett feel sorry.
Esme looked at Carlisle "He came to you before he left?" This was only half question.
"Yes"
"Why didn't he say goodbye to me?" She demanded.
"He knew you wouldn't let him go"
"Well he was right!" "Why did he leave?"
Carlisle sat down and told us what he knew, what Edward had told him.
"There was a girl he had to sit next to in Biology." "She was worse smelling than any human he had ever met."
"Unbearably sweet." "He barely made it out of the classroom."
He has to sit next to her every day in Biology and he decided he couldn't take it."
"He went to live with the Denali Clan."
