Max POV

So, when we get in school, Iggy, Fang, and I were juniors. Apparently, Mom didn't want us to stand out for our height and maturity. Like I have maturity. So, according to records, I'm seventeen. When I get to first period(math) I am told to sit by Edward Cullen. Edward Cullen! Here he is Voice!

"Hi," I say. He looks very distracted. And frustrated. Wait, he can read minds, like the Voice said.

Edward POV

There's a new girl sitting next to me. Cool, no big. I just cant read her mind. I try and try, but nothing! It's like how I felt about Bella. Well, at first. She and I aren't together anymore. She still comes to my house to hang out with Alice. "Hi," She said. Still frustrated, I don't answer. After about a minute. she says "I'm Max. You must be either deaf, a mime, not able to talk, or really not liking the way I smell." Sarcasm. This makes me mad. My nose is scrunched, so that is why she thinks she smells bad. Well, she doesn't smell human. Her brunette hair with blond streaks against her tan looks nice though. No vampire. Too tan and wrong eye color. Hmm... "So. Just ignore me then."

"I am sorry. I was very deep in thought. I am Edward. Hello Max." I say as I lean in to whisper. "You aren't human, are you?"

"What do you know. 'Cause if you know, you aren't either." She says with a scowl on her face. It's kind of a cute scowl.

"Sit by me at lunch, then we'll talk,"

"Only if my brothers Fang, and Iggy can come. Okay?"

"Fine," I say. Pain in the butt.

Max POV

I am sitting by Edward in lunch. Well, oh well.

Control your thoughts. Brain shield will be coming down... now.

What Voice!? No! He reads minds!

Prepare for lunch "brain attack." I am not trying to hurt you. Just want you to learn.

Lunch? In front of everyone?

You need Edward to see too.

Edward blinked a few times looking stunned. He knows I'm not human, he knows I have a Voice, he knows I will have a "brain attack."

He heard his name, the Voice says
Stop talking Voice, your freaking Edward out.

Edward POV

Max's mind suddenly came in my head. Max knows I can read minds. Max has a Voice in her head. The Voice said my name. What the heck. "Meet me after school also. You need to see my family," I say. "We have some of our own little secrets. And during your brain attack, have Fang and Iggy there to catch you." 'Cause brain attacks hurt right?
