Em POV

I sat at my lab table, waiting for her to walk into the door. I kept staring at the clock, wondering why she was so late. I tried to focus on the teacher, but she just kept coming back into my mind. The door opened and she slowly slipped in. The teacher looked up from his desk, and she handed him a slip of paper. She quietly walked to the table, and sat down next to me.

"Hi." I said, hoping she would answer me. She did.

"Hey. Do you know what we're doing?"

"Oh. Yeah. We were outlining a chapter in the book. Chapter twelve." I said, already getting bored with out conversation. She smiled at me, and I froze. Why did this keep happening?

"Thanks." She opened her book, and took out a notebook. I watched as she stared at the book hard, copying down everything she could. This was fascinating to me. I've never seen someone work so hard, stay so concentrated on one thing. She must have sensed that I was staring at her, because she had looked up at me.

"Are you not doing the assignment?" She asked, studying my face. I shook my head.

"I'm already done. Have been for a while." She stared at me in disbelief. I just nodded, and she shrugged. She went back to the book, and I tried to look around at other things. But I just kept coming back to her. I liked watching her. She intrigued every part of me. Ten minutes later she stopped writing, and shut her book. She put her things together in a neat pile, and then looked around the room. I looked up at the clock, trying to figure out when this class was over.

"The period's over in ten minutes." She said quietly, turning to me. I looked at her, and she was staring at me.

"Thank you."

"I don't know if that's why you were staring at the clock, but I took a guess anyway."

"Well you were right on the ball." I said, smiling. She nodded. "I heard you met my brother, Edward." I said, trying to start a conversation, but she just nodded again.

"Yeah, he sits next to me in my next class."

"So he told me. Edward likes to.. talk a lot." I said, avoiding the truth about the little mind reader. I rolled my eyes, and she looked confused.

"So, are you guys… twins?" I started laughing and everyone in the room looked at me. I quieted myself down and shook my head.

"No. We're far from twins. He's my younger brother. I have a sister too. Her name is Alice." She nodded again, and then looked at the clock. She started to lean back in her chair, but leaned the wrong way. I watched as she started to fall. I quickly wrapped an arm around her back and pulled her up before her head smashed against the floor. She stared at me for a moment, blinking insanely.

"Uhm. Thanks. I'm not normally that clumsy.." She said, looking a bit embarrassed. A rush of color flooded to her cheeks, and she tried to hide it with her hands. I tilted my head trying to watch her, but she looked the other way.

I walked into the cafeteria, looking around for Mike. I scanned the room, but I couldn't find him. My eyes fell on Emmett, who was staring at me from across the room. He waved to me, and I smiled. I sighed, and started looking around again. Where the hell was he?

"Hey Liz." I turned around to face a pair of gold eyes.

"Oh. Hi Emmett. What's up?"

"Nothing. I saw you standing over here by yourself. Are you waiting for someone, or do you always do this?" I looked over at him, and he was grinning. I half smiled and shook my head.

"No. I'm waiting for someone."

"Boyfriend?" He asked curiosity in his eyes. I shook my head frowning a bit.

"I don't have a boyfriend. I'm waiting for my best friend Mike. He's usually here by now." He smiled a bit, and then nodded.

"You can sit with me if you want to." He said, motioning towards his table on the other side of the room. I took a quick glance around one more time, but Mike was no where to be found. I nodded.

"Alright. I'd like that." He smiled, and started walking. I followed after him, until we stopped in front of a table. Edward looked up and smiled. I didn't recognize the other two people sitting near him.

"Hello Elizabeth." Edward said, nodding in my direction.

"Hi Edward."

"You're Elizabeth?" The girl asked, getting up. She was my height, and stunning. She had short brown hair that complimented her pixie like face. She too had the gold eyes her brothers had. The guy sitting behind her didn't look as friendly. He had a weird look on his face. He looked up at me and smiled. "I'm Alice. This is Jasper. You'll have to excuse him, he isn't feeling well."

"Well, hello." I said to both of them. I sat down, and Emmett sat down next to me. He put his arm on the back of my chair, and stared at Edward. They seemed to be having their own private conversation.

"So Elizabeth, how old are you?" Alice asked, smiling.

"I'm seventeen. I turn eighteen in a few months. How about you?" She smiled again.

"I'm seventeen too. Emmett's eighteen." She said, pointing to him. I nodded. I looked at him quickly, and he glared at her.

"Hey Liz, what are you doing today?" Emmett asked me, waiting for my reaction.

"I have work today. Sorry Emmett. Why, did you have something in mind?"

"Well, I wanted to know if you wanted to do something, but you can't skip work. Another time." Before I could say anything, the bell rang, and he had gotten up and walked away. I watched him leave, and then I turned to Alice, Edward, and Jasper.

"Is he always like this?" I asked, looking at them. Edward shrugged.

"Not usually, no." He frowned, and got up. "Goodbye Elizabeth. I'll be seeing you tomorrow." I waved bye and watched him walk away. Jasper followed, mumbling something on his way by, but Alice stayed.

"Don't mind the boys, they're just boys." She said, smiling. I laughed. "It's too bad you have work though, I'd love to get to know you. I don't really have any friends here yet." She said, smiling. I smiled back. I liked that she was so friendly.

"Well, we'll definitely have to hang out sometime then won't we?" I asked, getting up from the table. She nodded.

"Definitely. Well, bye Elizabeth!" She skipped off after her brothers, and I headed off to class.

I pulled up to work, hopping out of my car. I looked around, and saw Mike bouncing around outside. He noticed me, and came running over to me.

"Hey Lizzie!" I glared at him.

"You weren't in school today."

"I know. I didn't feel like going, so I came into work early."

"Lucky bastard." I muttered, walking into the store. He followed behind me.

"So how was your day?"

"It was fine. I made friends with the Cullen's," I said, as I put on my work shirt.

"The new kids?"

"Yeah, they're actually really nice."

"That's cool. Well I'm gonna go. I'm pretty beat. The stores been pretty dead today, so I think you'll be fine. I'll see you tomorrow in school." He hopped over the counter and gave me a quick hug, and then ran out of the store. I laughed as he almost tripped over his own two feet.

The store was dead for over four hours. The occasional customer would come and go. I almost felt like closing up, but I wasn't allowed to do that. Another two hours had passed until I was finally able to leave. I hung my work shirt on the rack in the backroom, and then left. It was around ten when I had gotten home, so I quickly got a shower and decided to go to bed.

Em POV

I wandered the streets, looking for the car she was driving. I found it parked in the driveway of a small home. I quickly climbed up the tree, and slipped into her window. She was sound asleep. The sound of her heart was calming. I wish I was Edward. I'd give anything to know what she was dreaming about. I quietly sat in the chair she had in front of her desk. I had to stop myself from snooping around. This wasn't a fun for all panty raid Jasper and I usually did for shits and giggles in our old town. I stayed there watching, waiting for her to say something in her sleep, but she just laid there. She was just a mystery.
