AN: Here's chapter three! Enjoy!
CHAPTER 3
I had decided to go early to class as well, just to watch the show play out in front of me.
I walked into the class room and smiled brightly at Mr. Banner. "Good afternoon, Mr. Banner. I'm a bit early, I'm sorry." I handed the sign slip and then signed it with one move.
"It doesn't matter, Isabella," he said.
"Please, call me Bella."
He chuckled. "Okay. Have a seat, Bella. Your lab partner for the rest of the year will be Edward, and he is already present as well, so you can have a small talk."
I smiled at the biology teacher and then took my seat at the first the table, still not meeting the vampire's eyes. I rummaged through my bag a bit, 'looking for my books'.
"Hi, I'm Edward Cullen," he said brightly.
As I sat straight again, I lifted my traitorous eyes up to meet his.
And then there was a long mental silence.
"Bella Swan," I said, suddenly realizing my last name was too revealing.
Oh wow, she's beautiful.
I smiled. Gotcha.
"It's very nice to meet you," he said without releasing my eyes.
One.
Two.
Three.
Her brown eyes reminds me of that beautiful red swan I saw last night.
"You have pretty eyes," I said while flashing a white teethed smile.
He smiled and I felt a mental pressure. "Thank you. You too."
Ah. He was trying to dazzle me. No way it would work on me.
I broke eye contact immediately and I heard the confusion in his thoughts. Apparently, normally dazzling worked on humans.
I watched as students started filling the classroom, before looking at the front of the classroom. "So, you are new as well?" I asked, while looking to the writing Mr. Banner was putting on the board.
"How did you know?" I am sure she hadn't asked her friends about that.
So he had been spying on me, huh? "Jessica Stanton was giving me the head-ups. She told me."
"Oh. Uhm, well we are new, but not as new as you are."
"You don't seem very liked," I said while making eye contact again.
"Our family likes to stick together," he said.
Mr. Banner started the lesson, talking about plant reproduction. Boring, I already knew this. I looked down and started looking through the biology book. "Seems difficult," I murmured, looking at Edward momentarily.
"What is that?" he asked softly.
"Living in a house of couples," I answered while memorizing the book at rapid speed.
"Yeah it is." He looked from me to my book, from which I was turning pages very quickly. "What are you doing?"
"Memorizing the content," I muttered.
"This fast?" he asked curiously.
"Photographic memory."
"Oh."
Then I suddenly stopped turning pages and went back into the book. I looked down in disgust. "Are we going to dissect a frog?" I asked.
"Yes, it's-… are you okay, Bella?" He was frowning as he saw the horror on my face.
"That's so cruel!" I spoke loudly.
"What's wrong? They will be dead already," he tried to soothe me.
"Oh no, that's too disgusting for my own good. I won't be doing that."
"You can always ditch class. I don't like anatomizing, so I will be gone as well."
"Why?"
Well, the smell is disgusting for someone with such strong senses as me. "Like you said, it's disgusting."
I was surprised he kept staying as close as possible to the truth. Time to take control in the game. "Are you wearing contacts?" I asked.
They ask that every time. "Nope."
'They ask that every time'? Let's make him suffer.
"That's weird, you know. Human eyes only produces the pigments blue, brown, green and grey. No yellow nor orange nor gold. Tell me."
Shit. How does she know stuff like that?
"I studied human anatomy," I answered automatically.
Then the bell went and before it stopped ringing, Cullen was gone, leaving me behind, grinning.
AN: Hope you liked it! I'll put in the next renewed chapter tomorrow. Let me hear your thoughts!
