Chapter Three.
Brown Eyed Girl.

[Edward. P.O.V]

I was going to be late for my first class, that much I knew. What a way to make a first impression Cullen. I thought to myself. You see it's my first day as a teacher and I just so happened to get a job in the school where I used to attend. Forks High. Not the most 'it' school but it gets you what you need to qualify for the job you need. I was eighteen when I left this school. I'm now twenty three.
I was running down the hall trying to get to my first class when I was knocked off my feet and landed on the floor with a loud a thump
Argh just what I need. I didn't realise at first but there was also another person sitting next to me. She had long brown curls that just about stopped by her waist and she was wearing the most shortest shorts I'd ever seen. All I could stare at was her legs, they weren't tanned but they were perfect. I wanted to run my hands across them. I had to wipe my hand across my mouth to make sure I wasn't drooling. I'm a man. We notice these things. She was wearing a blood red top that definitely showed a little but it wasn't as bad as the other girls. It took me a while to see that she was picking up papers that must have fallen out of her folder when we ran into each other. I felt sorry for doing this to her so I started to help.
"I'm so sorry" we said at the same time. We bent down to clean up the mess and bumped heads.
"Ouch" we said in sync "Sorry" we said at the same time again.
We laughed. I was completely mesmerized by her laugh. I felt like I wanted to curl up to her and listen to it forever .
I looked up exactly the same time she did and I felt like I had the breath taken out of me. I was dazzled. Her eyes were the most strangest of brown I have ever laid my eyes on. I could get lost in them. Her heart shaped face looked so delegate. Her scent was, well I don't really know what her scent did to me. I felt all tingly and giddy, in a good way. I've never felt like this before. After a long few minutes of silence she broke the stare and looked down, at first I couldn't tell but I realised that she had turned bright red. The floor was starting to get rather cold so I got to my feet and wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her up. When I touched her body I had to suppress a gasp. It felt like I had a thousand electric currents running through me. When I let go I started to straighten myself out when I heard the most beautiful voice I'd heard.
"I'm Bella and I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going. I was kind of in a rush" I looked up and it felt like that I had started to hyperventilate. Bella I thought. That name went with her very well.
"You running late too?" I asked. She nodded and smiled. "Yeah it's my first day and my bother was sort of sucking on his girlfriends face." she run her fingers through her hair and giggled.
"Don't worry about it." I said.
She looked up at me puzzlingly at first then she smiled again. "For the bumping it to you or my bother eating Rosalie's face?"
Rosalie…? Where have I heard that name before? I just shrugged my shoulders "Both" and she laughed.
She reached her hand out and I took it all too willingly, hoping she didn't catch my flaw I smiled. "Again I'm sorry for bumping into you" As soon as our hands touched an electrical shock went through me again and I heard her gasp. She looked away from me and I felt empty. After a few seconds she looked back up at me only to meet my gaze. "And I'm sorry for both bumping into you and seeing you brother and his mate making out…" When she saw me looking at her she smiled at me which made me breathe faster than before. What is she doing to me? I asked myself.
"Can I ask you a question?"
"You just did" I said and laughed. "Yeah sure"
"As I told you my name what's yours?" she let her hand drop and my hand felt like it was on fire. I brought it up and examined it. Nothing.
"I-I'm-I" I stuttered. Stuttered? I have never stuttered in my life.
the bell rung again but this time it was drowned out. All I could register was the fact that I was still looking for the flame that should be on my hand.
"I have to go" I said quickly. I wanted to stay there and look at her for the rest of the day.
"Here" she said and handed me a pair of black reading glasses. I patted the front pocket of my jacket and realised that my glasses were missing. I looked at her to see that she was now wearing a similar pair. In fact I think they were exactly the same.
"Well…um…bye" she waved her hand and I made my way around her and walked to my first class

[Bella's P.O.V]

I was five minutes late when I entered my first class. I handed the teacher my slip and she started to introduce herself.
"Welcome to Forks High Isabella. I'm Mrs Anastasia but you can call me by my first name Lenobia. You may take a seat next to Miss Cullen and Mr Hale, they have already informed me that you know them so I thought you'd like to be surrounded by people you feel comfortable with."
I nodded and proceeded to hunker down in my seat next to Alice.
"Hey" she said and slid her arm through mine. "What happened? Why are you late to class Bella?"
"Had an accident in the hall. I told you I would end up falling in these one way or another" I said pointing to my shoes.
"Is that all?"
"Yes" I lied. I could tell that she didn't believe me but she let it slide. I could almost see her picturing how to get me to spill. I was brought out of my daydream when I heard Lenobia start to talk.
"Okay class there has been a new system placed at this school and it contains having two teachers teach the same class as it's too much for one to handle. We will be separating you into to categories. Some of you will be staying with me and others will be doing advanced mythology. Those who will be moving to advanced will be taught by Mr. Cullen." Just as if he was outside listening to her talk the door opened and walked in the person who I bumped into the hall. I felt my body stiffen and I guess Alice did too because she stopped talking to Jasper and stared at me.
"What's wrong ?" she asked.
"I'll tell you later"
"Okay but we doing it over shopping"
I groaned and hit my head against the table. "Alice you know I hate shopping"
"And you know that there's no point in arguing over it with me"
I sighed and straightened myself out. "Fine"
"Yay we're going to get you the most sexiest lingerie ever" I started at her opened mouthed and sunk down in my seat using the book to cover my face. The whole of the boys wolf whistled and I hit my head constantly with the book cover.
"Alice stop please." Me and Jasper were trying to push her down when Lenobia cleared her throat. All three of us turned and looked up to see her standing in front of us.
"Sorry Lenobia but Alice put to much sugar in her cereal this morning and she is having a sugar overload." I tried not to laugh but I failed miserably.
"Very well then." She looked at Alice and then back at me.
To make sure the whole class heard she raised her voice just a little. "She's a hand full that Alice isn't she Isabella?"
I nodded. "You have no idea Mrs." This time it wasn't just me that erupted into laughter, the whole class did. I looked up to see Mr. Cullen trying very hard not to laugh but failed too. The left side of his mouth was slightly turned up. When Alice pointed her finger at him the sly smiled faded. I had to do a double take to register the fact that Alice knows this man.
"Alice!" I whispered, when the class had died down. She looked at me and nodded her head. "Yeah" She asked.
"How do you know him?"
"He's my brother" she had that you-should-really-pay-more-attention look.
I looked back up at Lenobia to see that she had moved from the desk and was now standing by Edward. She was practically throwing herself at him. I thought she was married?
When I was about to turn away Edward looked at me and had guilt written all over his face. Hmmmm…..??
I heard Alice clear her throat and Lenobia snapped out of it. She scanned the class room and blushed deep red.
"Sorry" was all she said before she went to her desk and picked up a piece of paper.
"Okay class sorry for the interruption." She eyed my table for a period of time before continuing. "Right back to the changes. This list as been organized into order of the most promising students at the top and the ones who prefer to slack off placed at the bottom. To be in advanced mythology is a great honour and the first young student is none other than Isabella Swan."
The whole class whipped their head in my direction and I blushed. I tried to hide my face in my book but Alice took it. If looked could kill Alice would certainly be on the floor.
"Young Isabella will be followed by her closest friends Alice Cullen And Jasper Hale, who I presume will take good care of Miss Swan." In the corner of my eyes I could see Alice and Jasper nodding their head in sync. "We sure will Mrs. Anastasia." Jasper said and Alice continued. "We wouldn't want young Isabella here to fall over and hurt her self."
Too late… I thought to myself and mentally laughed.
"Well good luck with that. She can barely stand let alone walk. Just look at her neck she has a bruise forming already." After Jessica made her snotty remark Lenobia continued with the list, while I looked at Alice will horror. She pulled out her little mirror and I opened it only to reveal a bruise the same size has a bottle top. I gasped in shock and gave Alice her mirror back.
It must of happened when I fell I told myself. That's why Edward looked guilty? He must of thought he did it.

When Mrs Anastasia was finished with the list there was a total of ten students from this from room in advanced mythology and seven coming from Emmett's from, and speaking of Emmett guess who I have to sit next to? That's right the big teddy bear who calls himself the Mr. Muscle.
I was standing next to Alice when Mr. Cullen stepped forward.
"Well Alice. I guess now you have to do what I say or mother will be very disappointed" His voice was full of amusement which made it sound so seductive. Shut Up Bella !!!
"Oh shut up Edward" Alice said and stuck out her tongue like a six year old, which made Me, Jasper and Edward laugh.
"Okay" Edward looked at me and then started to walk up and down the line, like when you in the military. "A few couple of tests to see if you really belong here. I won't pick on people who have already been at this school as I have already had the honour of talking to the principle but I will pick on the new comers and because there is only one." He stopped in front of me, smiled and then continued. "Will young Isabella step forward." I did what he was told and the questions came at me like a ball. "We will be studying Vampires this semester, so Isabella or do you prefer Bella?"
"Bella" I said.
"Well then Bella it is. Can you please tell me what Vampire would be Area from/nationality: unconfirmed - European please and give a full description."
I looked at Alice and smiled which made her laugh. I hated the way he treated Alice just a moment ago so I thought I would play some sarcasm.
"Your wish my command your highness." I did a little bow which made the class laugh and a crocked grin form on his face.
"That would be the Incubus sir. The Incubus has been told to be without doubt one of the most famous forms of vampires, the male form of the Succubus. The Incubus used to visit women at night, make love to them and torment their dreams. It posses all the characteristic properties of the vampire, with nightly visits to its victims, draining of life and strength and extreme sexual desire. Like vampires found among Gypsy and Slavic communities it can father children."
The whole class had their mouths hanging open and Mr. Cullen was smiling like a chestnut cat.
"Well since you seem so sure of yourself Isabella may you care to explain what the Succubus would of done." My smile dropped when he said my full name and all I could think of was touché
"Yes Mr. Cullen. A Succubus would also be a European Vampire. A female one to be exact. A Vampire fiend that visits men in their sleep to torment their dreams and engage them in sex. The Succubus could render a victim totally exhausted in its pursuit of carnal pleasure." When I was done I bowed again and stepped back into line next to Alice. The whole class was clapping and wolf whistling at me which of course made me blush like a tomato. "Isabella I can tell you now you are going to be a joy to have in class." Mr. Cullen said to me and then went back up to the front of the class. He gestured for as to take our seats and I took mine next to Emmie. I don't know why but his words seamed to say more than what he actually said.
When the class was silent again Emmett leaned over and faked punched my arm.
"Well done my sister." I looked at him and stared. I gave him a look that clearly said what-are-you-doing? which made Alice sitting behind me laugh.
While Edward was going over the things I explained Alice leaned forward and whispered in my ear. "Well done Bella and thanks for sticking up for me." I leaned back on my chair so she wouldn't need to lean that far. "No problem Alice. No offence but he's a total know it all."
We laughed for a few seconds before Alice sat normal again. She pulled out her note book, scribbled on a piece of paper and tossed it to me.
When I opened it I felt all funny.
I don't know what's wrong but Edward won't stop looking at you Bells
I looked up and sure enough Alice was right.
When I met his gaze he smiled and turned back to teaching the class. I felt my heart start to pick up and I was sure Alice would be able to hear it.
Neither do I. Wired Ali. Maybe it's because I'm smarter than him. :P
I gave then note back to Alice and I heard her laugh.

The rest of the lesson went pretty much the same. Alice and me exchanging notes and Edward constantly looking at me. When the bell rang for first brake I was more then happy to get out of the class. I was sitting around a bench table placed outside next to Alice, Emmett, Jasper and Rosalie, when it hit.
I was falling for Mr. Cullen.
