Chapter 2
Edward P.O.V
The school day started as normal as the others until lunch came around. Alice was saying something in her head about a new friend and that she was bringing her to sit with us. She was a very pretty girl, at least she was in Alice's head. She had brown hair, about shoulder length, and chocolate brown eyes. She looked very skinny though, as if she was malnurished. Alice was walking towards the table with the new friend, she had named Bella Swan in her head.
I immediatly stopped breathing and urged my brothers, especially Jasper to do the same. I could smell her a mile away, and it took all that I had to not jump on her right then and there. Thankfully, Jasper listened to me. I wasn't worried about Emmett, he was very well controlled on that part of him, more than I am. Bella had sat right in front of me and beside Alice. We were at the end of the table, nearest to the window, I made a mental note of that.
Alice introduced us, and she seemed calm, but I could not read her thoughts. It was odd, out of every human and vampire that I had encountered in my 107 years of being here, she was the one I could not read. Bella pulled up her sleeves, my guess, she wasn't thinking when she had done it. Under her sleeves were many cuts and bruises. The bruises were in the shapes of fingers and hands. I noticed it first, but Alice was the one to speak, "Bella, what happened to you?".
She simply said that "I am very clumsy." Neither Alice nor did I believe her. While my family spoke about the day's events, and I jumped in every now and again, but most of the time, I was looking at her, trying to figure out what she was hiding. She jumped into the conversation sometimes too, but not a lot, trying to avoid attention as much as she could at least. When the bell rang, she left as fast as she could. As soon as Bella left, I also left to go to my next class.
I sat down at the only table with two empty seats. As I tried to figure out who the second seat belonged to, my answer walked into the room, Bella Swan. She stopped in the doorway for a mintute, then she proceeded to walk to the table, and set her books down. "Hello Edward." She said. Her sleeves were now down. She was trying horribly at not making eye contact with me. "Hey Bella. You wanna try telling the truth about what happened to your arms there?" She exhaled deeply and looked at me in the eye. "I told you, I'm clumsy." I shook my head at her answer. "The truth?" I tried again. She shook her head back at me. "No one will ever know the real truth behind these. So if you please, mind your own business."
That was one feat that I had not yet accomplished, because I could never really 'mind my own business' I couldn't, not with being able to read people's minds. I sat down in my seat, not opening my mouth the rest of the class.
