Chapter 2: Arrival (EPOV)
Alice was hiding something concerning me, I am sure. This is irritating. How can someone so small be such a bother? I muttered darkly. I heard you! Shouted Alice in her mind. But I guess that the thing she is hiding can't be dangerous for me or our family.
The next day, we stood on the parking lot to see the new family arrive. The humans were curious as we were and were waiting.
A red car parked and two people came out. The first one was a tall, dark blond curly haired male vampire. He held the waist of his mate, a curly, black haired woman. They looked about 17. However I wondered how old they were in vampire years.
A dark blue parked next and another couple came out. The male vampire was built like Emmett but had dark blond hair. He kissed quickly his mate who was a black skinned woman with her hair made into intricate braids. They also waited.
Finally, another blue car parked. The male vampire was tall with dark straight hair. He opened the door for a woman. When she came out, she took my breath away. She was beautiful with a heart shaped face, dark with streaks of red, curly hair and golden eyes. I heard gasps coming from the human boys and immediately I heard thoughts of what they wanted to do to her. It was disgusting. I noticed that the vampire that came with her did not hold her by the waist. Maybe he was not her mate. However, they seemed very close.
She began to walk towards the main office with her family surrounding her while the humans parted like the Red sea to stare at them. She noticed us standing apart. She directed their attention: "Regardez." ("Look.") she said. Her voice was like light bell chimes.
The man walking besides her asked: "On va leur parler?" ("Are we going to talk with them?") They all nodded and walked towards us.
Emmett spoke first: "You must be the new students. Welcome! I'm Emmett Cullen, this is my girlfriend Rosalie Hale. This is our sister Alice Cullen and her boyfriend and Rosalie's brother Jasper Hale. And this is Edward Cullen my brother."
"Nice to meet you." Said the black woman with the lightest of French accent. "I'm Aneesa Benneley. This is my boyfriend Gabriel Bacy." Said she pointing to her strongly built mate. "This is Daniel Bacy and his girlfriend Amélia Lefèvre." Said she introducing the other couple. "And this is Jean Lefèvre and his sister Isabelle."
I was relieved to hear that Jean was not Isabelle's mate. Isabelle! What a beautiful name! It suits her very well. I noticed her smiling at me and I smiled back.
"In what classes are you?" asked Alice.
"Amélia, Daniel, and Isa are juniors. Me, Gabriel and Aneesa are seniors." Replied Jean.
"That's great! Jasper, Alice and Edward are juniors also. Me and Rosalie are seniors." Added Emmett.
"On doit aller s'inscrire."(«We must go register. ») Reminded Isabelle to her family. They nodded. Then turning towards us she added: "Maybe we could meet at lunch to talk." We accepted. She smiled once again at me before leaving. I was very happy and hoped to be in at least one of her classes.
Jasper smirked at me and said teasingly: "Little Eddie has a crush!"
"Oh really?" replied Emmett relishing the prospect to tease me.
"Don't be ridiculous Jasper! And don't call me Eddie!" I growled. I always hated that nickname.
"I am not ridiculous. I felt your emotions on meeting the lovely Isabelle."
"I am going to class." And I stalked off angrily under the laughter of my family.
The whole morning, I could not concentrate. I kept thinking about Isabelle. I wondered for how long she has been a vampire, if she had any powers, what was her favourite diet. I could not contain my impatience for lunch. She intrigues me.
