Chapter 2

BPOV

"Bella, what is your next class?" Jessica asks as I turn back to the table.

"Physics." I answer after referring to the schedule again.

"I can take you, Bella. I'm in Physics too!" Mike says, grinning madly. He hit on me the whole way from Government to Calculus. But he is cute, so I agree to go with him.

I wouldn't want to get lost, that's worse than being hit on for five minutes, walking into class late your first day. The stares are already bad enough, when I don't have to apologize for being late.

"Sure, Mike." I say as we get up, leaving the cafeteria.

We walk to the Physics class, chatting with Angela, who is also with us. I really like Angela she seems way more down to Earth than the boy-obsessed Jessica. She asks if I had any problems today, and whether or not I like this school yet. I tell her it is too early to tell, but the guys seem to stare more here than Arizona, which made her chuckle and blush.

I give the teacher my pass to sign. She hands me a book and points out my desk, the only open seat in the classroom. It happens to be beside the brooding Cullen, Edward.

I walk to my seat, and set down my books, instantly sensing the same strange pain radiating from Edward. So, I definitely wasn't imagining it then. For a bit I thought I imagined it, since Jess said he was in pain, and he looked like it, and didn't appear to be breathing either.

I look over to Edward to see his beautiful face, and find it contorted in rage. His black eyes staring at me like he wanted to attack. I was going to introduce myself, but the shock of his face throws me off. Odd, why is he glaring? I shut down my body defensively, much like when my aunt is trying to make me do something, like move in with her.

Did Jasper tell him that I was staring? That wouldn't make me furious, if someone was staring at me. I would ask why they are being so rude, but I wouldn't get that mad. But I have never believed in violence. Mother always said love is the strongest emotion and everything can be solved through love. I guess I believe what Mother says, and never resort to violence in any situation.

All through Physics I was having an internal debate. Do I reveal my 'gift' to this boy who is in terrible pain? Or should I keep the secret, like Mother always warned me? Since he is glaring at me, it is easy for me to ignore the pain I am feeling coming from him. I wonder if he is angry at me, or at the cause of his pain. What could that be? Why do the two beautiful looking boys have intense throat pain?

When my best friend back home, Shannon, needed her tonsils out, her throat caused her great pain, but it was nothing like this. Her tonsils gave her issues in fifth grade, before she knew our secret, so neither Mother nor I could do anything to help her. So is that it, I just wait for the end of class, and offer to take him to the nurse, or the hospital?

Or should I do what is right, and at least attempt to heal him? I don't know if my healing gift is strong enough, but maybe I can make his rage disappear. I try to turn back to the Physics lesson, but I have missed too much of the beginning, so I deem it hopeless.

Glancing around the classroom, I notice a few guys, Mike included, staring at me. There is intense curiosity in their eyes, maybe wondering what I did to Edward Cullen. I give that scary boy another glance, half hoping the glare has gone away, but it hasn't. He is gripping his side of the lab table now, almost like he is trying to rip it apart. Odd, why is he so angry, but not really doing anything about it? Does he have anger management issues? I guess beauty has its price.

By the time the class is almost over, I have resolved to talk to this boy after class, and offer myself, to help him. I know it is against what Mother always said, keep our gifts secret, except from those we trust. And I definitely don't trust this boy who looks like he could tear me to shreds. There is something about this boy that makes me want to heal him, make his pain go away. It's like I hurt too, sensing his pain.

The bell rings and the beautiful guy in pain picks up his book and dashes from the classroom. Quickly, I get up my things and attempt to follow him. When I get out the door, my eyes search for him, but he is nowhere to be found. It's like he vanished.

"Bella, what's the hurry?" Mike asks, at my side looking nervous.

"I was just going to ask that guy, Cullen or whatever, if he needed help to the nurse's office. But he just disappeared." I improvise, knowing that now is not the time to reveal my Witch-ness.

"What happened during class? Did you stab him or something?" Mike asks me.

"Huh? No, he looked like he ate something bad for lunch," I continue to lie. Mike seems to buy the story.

"Oh, what's your last class?" He asks as we walk away from the Physics room.

"Ugh, gym." I say, after a final look at the schedule.

I never really liked gym class. In Arizona it was only required for two years, and I got that out of the way early. Here in Forks, gym was required all four years of high school. It wasn't that I wasn't good at sports, its' just that when others got hurt, I wanted to heal them all. Which obviously wasn't an option, considering the secrecy, and who would believe that I'm a "good witch"? They all suspected, or rather, knew of my mother's talent, but no one suspected so much from me aside from Shannon. It is hard to be best friends with someone and not know all their secrets.

"I have gym too! What a coincidence!" He says all eager again. It can't be that much of a coincidence, Forks High is a small school, only around 400 students in all four grades. My graduating class back home was over 400.

"Yea Mike, what a coincidence," I say rolling my eyes as we head toward the gym together.

The first day of school wasn't too bad, aside from all of the staring. The whole Cullen ordeal is a bit odd, but I can't worry too much. After my dinner, I decide to go for a short walk in the woods behind my home, since the rain has stopped.

I noticed that rain is a very prominent feature in Forks. Hopefully I can find enough sunny times to view as much as I want. The only way I can see is if the sun is reflecting, and the clouds need to disappear for that. Hmmm. Maybe Forks isn't the best place for me after all. I'll give it a few more weeks before I decide to leave.

After a long walk, I did not find a pond, but did see some herbs that I like for teas. I picked a few, so I could have a warm tea once I got inside. January is a cold month in Washington. I'll need more sweaters if I do stay. Mother was big on making herbal teas, saying they help keep her powers strong. I just like the smell of herbs in boiling water, it comforts me, reminds me of my childhood.

Also, when Mother would work, she would brew specific teas for her patients' individual illnesses, and they would swear the tea worked better than any 'real' medicine. Of course, we knew it was Mother's healing power that made them feel better, but the tea is a nice cover story. The hospital where she worked is really into the "homeopathic treatments and alternative medicine," teas, music therapy, burning incense, acupuncture, so her gifts were appreciated, not questioned.

The rest of my first week of school was quite similar to the first day, guys staring, and Mike hitting on me and walking me to most of my classes. I sat with the same group at lunch, and I think I know all of their names. On Sunday, as long as the weather is nice, we are planning on going to the park so everyone can get to know me better, and I can see what people do around Forks.

There is one major difference, comparing Monday to the rest of the week; Alice was the only Cullen in school. Both Edward and Jasper were absent. Alice looked depressed, sitting all by herself, moping around. I wanted to ask her to join us, but I didn't know if Jessica would like that. From our conversations, it seemed like Alice and Jessica were rivals right after the Cullens moved here. I don't understand, but I never got into that whole scene before, so I just accept that some girls are more the shallow, bubble gum and pig-tails types.

I would sit at lunch, half listening to the gossip, and wonder if the Cullen boys were okay. Did they get some mysterious illness? Are they in the hospital, and that's why Alice looks so glum? I almost felt it was my duty to help them, if they were sick.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Friday after school, we all agreed to meet in the park Sunday, as long as it wasn't raining. Or worse, snowing. I was excited to be doing something, making friends. I think I am finally starting to get over Mother being gone.

Saturday morning I awoke to a strange thing, sunlight streaming in my bedroom window! I got ready in a hurry, heading outside. I was bundled up, the weather still chilly, and began a second search for a pond, or anything I could use to view. Already, I missed viewing other places. It is my escape from reality, something I desperately needed.

About an hour into my hike, I came across a large meadow, with a perfect pond in the center. It's just like the one from home, only I assume this one is natural. Mother put in a pond for me, once she realized my gift, so I always had a place to go. Immediately, I sit down on the edge, getting ready to view, clearing my mind.

Once I felt relaxed, almost like my body could melt into the pond, I opened my eyes. I looked immediately above me; well, looking at myself from above. I just wanted to make sure my gift didn't go away. I don't know if they can, but it was a few weeks, and I haven't gone that long without viewing before.

I begin searching around my area, making sure there were no bears, or whatever predators live in Washington, were around. Then I looked for Shannon, my best friend. She was out shopping with Marie, her younger sister. They were trying on dresses, and I remembered that our school's winter ball was coming up. Giving them their privacy in the dressing room, I decided to check on Edward and Jasper. I hope they are alright or at least getting better.

I found Edward first, walking, no running through the woods. His eyes looked much brighter brown, almost golden, not the black pits they were on Monday. I hope that means he's better. Satisfied, I move on to the other Cullen brother, Jasper. I find him quickly, also out in the woods. He is with another teen, Emmett, his other brother, I assume. They are running around, joking. All of a sudden, they are in a clearing, along with a Grizzly bear mother and two cubs. They appear to harass her, taunt her. Emmett is quite large, and he picks up one of the cubs. Terrified, I leave the vision, unwillingly, since my hand, reaching out to save them, disturbed the water. Sometimes my visions seem so real, it's hard to remember that I'm not there.

What can I do?

Do I call for an ambulance? I don't even know where to tell it to go.

Well, what do you think? Should I continue?
