A/N(Before Edited):This chapter is somewhat in the perspective of different characters. I added when, which characters perspective the story is going through in each section. Thanks to clairerocz852, ReeseSpeaks, Girl Plant, and xoxJaspersgirl, for your wonderful review. I will not normally write this fast but here you go. I am sorry for grammatical errors in advance. I tried my best. Will soon have someone go over the story and will hopefully be errors free.
I want to thank Chosenfire for helping me out in this chapter. I corrected it from yesterday. Updated on April 1.
Questions:
Will it be an Edward and Bella Story? I still don't know where the story is going with the pairings. Sorry. It will come naturally. I am kind of heading towards that direction. But I am still not 100 sure.
When will Hermione learn about our favorite vamps? Soon is all that I have to say.
Please comment. That is was I enjoy the most. Thank you again for reading my story.
Disclaimers: I don't anything; the characters from this fic belong to JK. Rowling and Stephenie Meyer.
Chapter 2 – Encounter
Hermione's POV
Hermione woke up for school the next morning with less enthusiasm than was normal for her. Seeing that she had only an hour to get ready she dressed quickly. She didn't wish to be late for on her first day. As soon as she was dressed she grabbed her backpack, and walked towards the door of her room but soon stopped when she remember she was forgetting something.
She slowly turned to face the drawer in her room. She stood before it and opened it slowly. Hermione stared at the wand that lay inside. She took a deep breath and grasped the object in her fingers, wrapping her hand around the smooth wood. She hadn't used her wand since the battle at Hogwarts, but she couldn't leave it in the drawer to gather dust. Her wand was a part of her and she had to learn to accept it, to depend on it. She placed it in her pocket once again feeling the familiar weight against her. Hermione took a deep breath and once again and headed towards the kitchen downstairs.
Once she walked in the kitchen she saw Bella making some cereal.
"Hey, where is your dad?" Hermione asked softly while taking a bowl to do the same thing.
"He already headed out." Bella answered her as she took a bite of her cereal.
"Ready, for our first day at Forks High?" Hermione asked trying to work up a smile.
"Ready or not, I am still going." Bella answered Hermione's question without any enthusiasm.
"How are we getting to school?" Hermione asked suddenly concerned. Bella's father was already gone.
"Charlie gave me a car," Bella told her with a small smile on her face.
They both finished their cereal in silence and headed outside toward the car. It was a cherry red 1953 Chevy pickup.
They both hoped in and Bella navigated the way to school. It wasn't hard to find the High School in the small town. They both entered the building side by side and were aware of the stares from the other students that were already there. Hermione and Bella tried to ignore the weight of so many glances and headed towards the main office. As they entered the office the woman in the front desk immediately turned to them.
"Oh, you must be Bella. You look just like your mother," her gaze moved to Hermione "and you must be Hermione Granger." Both Hermione and Bella nodded to the receptionist.
"Well here is your schedule and a map of the school. I don't think it would be too hard for you girls to find your classes." The woman continued chattering as she handed them each of their schedules and a map.
"I hope that you both have a wonderful day, make sure to bring me your class schedule's sign by your teachers at the end of the day." With that said they were both out in the hall once again.
"Well, that was…"
"Awkward" Bella finish Hermione's sentence.
"Well, I guess I won't see you until lunch?" Bella said to Hermione.
"I guess so. Good luck."
"You too."
They both separated to head towards their classes. Hermione noticed that she had English first. As she entered the class she headed towards the front of the room to give her schedule to the English teacher, who looked a little irritated. She soon found her self standing in front of the class debating whether to sit in the front of the class like a good student or in the back where she could try to fade into the background.
Before she would have rushed to the seat nearest to the Professor eager to make herself known but things had changed.
She soon made up her mind and she headed towards the back of the class. Once she sat a strange sensation passed over her as one of her classmates entered the room. He was one of the most stunning men she had ever seen. She immediately wondered if he was a Veela. However, she dismissed that thought as she studied his features closely. He had bronze hair, his eyes were a golden topaz color and his skin was extremely pale but none of those were particularly alarming. Hermione couldn't keep her eyes off him. He soon looked at her and she quickly ducked flushing as she stared at the wooden desk.
He, however, didn't move from the front of the room.
Edwards's POV
Edward walked into the classroom and smelled a sweet scent that he desperately wanted. He froze in the doorway when he spotted the source of the captivating scent. He was furious at himself and the source of his desire.
He heard the teacher telling him to sit down so class could begin. He headed toward his seat, which was located right next to the source of his thirst.
He desperately willed the class to end trying to hold his breath and avoid drawing in the delicious smell. As soon as the class ended he hurried out of the room seeking out one of his siblings.
He reached Alice first and he knew she already knew what was happening to him, he would have been surprised if she hadn't.
"You need to get out of here Edward." she told him her voice low and urgent.
"No, I can handle it." He said furiously. He was angry that this girl came to ruin his life, her scent driving him crazy, making him want things that he shouldn't. He wouldn't let her control him like this.
"Are you sure you can do it?" Alice asked him calmly.
"Do you see me hurting anyone?" He asked her hoping that she didn't.
"No." was all that Alice gave him and that was all he needed as he headed towards his next class.
Hermione's POV
"Mister Cullen, please take your seat" the English teacher's voice cut through the low murmur of voices.
Hermione looked up to see the boy that had caught her attention and saw that he looked irritated. She looked at him but he seemed like he was ignoring her on purpose. She just put her head down and stared at the book the class was currently reading on her desk.
'Like a guy like that would like me,' Hermione thought to herself sardonically. She wasn't the type of girl guys like that noticed. Victor had been a surprise and had turned out to be more of a friend.
She looked up once again to see him moving to the empty desk next to her. Once he sat he looked tense as if he was angry with someone. She felt that it was her, had she taken his seat and not known about it?
The teacher had not said anything about assigned seats.
During the whole class she noticed he stayed very still and she was positive he wasn't breathing. Once class was over he got up quickly and left the classroom. Hermione felt as he was trying to hide something from her. Her instincts were screaming at her that something was different and they had rarely been wrong.
As she was gathering her belongings as a boy approached her.
"Hey, my name is Mike. You must be Hermione right?" he asked her.
"Yeah, that's what they tell me. How do you know my name?" she asked him as she greeted him smiling slightly.
"Oh, everyone knows here. You and your cousin are the most exciting thing that has happened since the Cullen's came to town." He said with a big grin on his face. At the mention of the name Cullen she wanted to ask about the boy that was in her class, but she stopped herself thinking that it would be too nosy of her.
"Oh." was all she responded to him knowing it was weak as replies went.
"You're from London right?" he asked as he walked with her out of the classroom.
Hermione just nodded. 'How could he have guessed?' She thought to herself sarcastically, certainly her voice gave her away.
"That is so cool; I always wanted to go there." He responded happily seeming unaware of her uneasiness.
The rest of the day until lunchtime went smoothly. Everyone knew who she and Bella were which she didn't like. The reason she had moved to Forks was so she wouldn't be noticed. But apparently she couldn't escape that.
Soon it was lunchtime and she met Bella at the entrance of the cafeteria.
"How has your day been?" Hermione asked Bella.
"Just great," she responded sarcastically wincing.
"That bad?"
"Yeah." with that said Bella and Hermione headed towards the lunch line staying close together.
In the lunch line a girl came up to them.
"Hey Bella!" the girl turned to Hermione.
"Hello, you must be Hermione. It's nice to meet you, I'm Jessica." She greeted her happily. Hermione couldn't understand how everyone in this town was so cheerful. If she hadn't witnessed the Cullen boy she would have thought someone had put a permanent cheering charm on the area.
"Nice to meet you too." Hermione replied as they got their lunch and followed Jessica to a table where she was apparently sitting.
As soon as they sat both Hermione and Bella looked at the table where the boy Hermione had saw earlier was sitting with some of the most beautiful people she had ever saw. It only cemented her belief that something unnatural was going on.
Bella's POV
Bella saw one of the most beautiful people in the world. She glanced at Hermione and saw that her cousin was looking in the same direction. They must have looked like two little girls staring at a new dream house.
Soon, she was brought out of her thoughts when Jessica spoke.
"Oh, I guess you've spotted the Cullen's." she saw who both of the girls were staring at.
Edward's POV
Edward smelled the same sweet smell but only stronger this time as if it had multiplied. The scent was coming from where the girl he had seen earlier was. However, the scent wasn't only coming from her but from the girl sitting next to her.
"Edward, calm yourself." Alice's voice was soft but firm.
He felt himself somewhat relax but the only reason was because Jasper, his other adopted brother was attempting to calm him down with his unique abilities.
"Alice, the scents not only coming from Hermione but the other new girl Bella as well." he informed her as calmly as possible. He had learned their names by everyone whispering it through out the school day. They all knew.
"That's not possible," Emmet denied.
"If you ever experience something like this it should only come from one person," continued Rosaline.
"The girl on the corner, I believe Hermione, has a faint sweet scent to me." Offered Emmet.
"I think she has that scent to all of us." Expressed Jasper.
"She is a witch," Alice responded simply.
"Great." Edward muttered. He could feel both of their gazes on him. He already knew that Hermione thought that he hated her. Which he did, both of them for making him want to feed once again. Soon, he felt relief when the bell rang to go to class. Him and his four other adopted siblings stood up. He could now be away from both of them and go discuss this with his adopted father after school. But he didn't know that what would await him in his next class would be just as difficult as it had been that morning.
