Chapter 3

Edward POV

"Where did you move here from?" Bella asked me as we walked to an empty desk in the science room.

"Alaska."

"Wow, you guys really like the cold areas. I moved here from Florida where I lived with my mum."

"If you hate the cold so much then why did you move here?" I asked confused.

"My mum got remarried and they're in the honeymoon stage still, so I decided to move in with my dad Charlie to give them some space. Plus Phil is a pro ball player and moves a lot." Wow she talks a lot. Thankfully the teacher walked in just before she started talking again, I mean don't get me wrong she's nice but Im kinda shy and like my peace and quiet.

"So do you wanna sit with me and my friends at lunch?" She asked after we had finished with the exercise the teacher had given us.

"No offence, but I prefer the quiet. I don't do to well around crowds and loud noises." I explained as politely as I could and she looked disappointed for a second before brightening up again. Oh god what now?

"How about just you me and my friend Jake? You'll love him, he moved here last month from his school in La Push to keep me company." I could see there was really no avoiding hanging out with her unless I wanted to be rude. I didn't like upsetting people so I decided to suck it up.

"Sure." I offered her a small smile before turning back to the front as the teacher started to talk again.

It turns out Bella was in the class I had right before lunch as well which was English. She's actually pretty smart compared to some of the brain dead morons she hangs out with. One of them Jessica doesn't have a thought that belongs to herself, literally. She also decided that because I didn't pay her any attention I was gay, Mike on the other hand only thought about Jessica and sex.

We walked towards the cafeteria together for lunch talking animatedly about the assignment on Shakespeare that I wasn't watching where I was going and for the second time that day I ended up on my ass.

I looked up at the wall I collided with and found it to be a very large, very fine piece of man hunk who was quite possibly the second hottest man I'd ever seen.

"I'm so sorry, didn't see you there. Hey bells." Ooh, sexy voice too. He bent down to offer me his hand and pulled me up to my feet.

"Don't worry about it, it was my own fault for not watching where I was going." I mumbled and if I could, I would be blushing.

"Edward this is the friend I was telling you about. Meet Jacob Black, my best friend. Jake, meet Edward Cullen. New kid and as clumsy and awkward as I am." Bella was about two inches taller then me and Jacob as over a foot taller, it was kinda embarrassing.

"So your family are the new guys?"

"Unless there's another new family we don't know about." I retorted making him snicker.

"I like you shorty, you and me are gonna get along just fine." He said wrapping an arm over mine and Bella's shoulders.

"Don't call me that." I snapped.

"It's not my fault you're short." He smirked, I don't like him.

"Jake, leave him alone." She glared at him. "He reminds me of Seth, would you pick on him like that?"

"No I wouldn't." He sighed and looked back at me. "I'm sorry, I'm just poking fun. I meant no harm by it." He said sincerely. Maybe he's not so bad after all.

"Don't worry about it." I gave him a small smile.

"I'm still gonna call you shorty." He smirked. I stand corrected, he's a shit head.

"I'm hungry let's go in." Bella said as she dragged me inside.

"I don't eat during the day, it's a religion thing." I murmured, shrugging when they gave me weird looks.

"Eddy!" Rose yanked me away by my arm while glaring at Jacob for some reason.

"Ow Rosie, you're hurting me." I whined trying to free my arm as Emmett appeared on her other side.

"I'm sorry Eddy." She quickly let go of my arm. "Can you not smell him?" She asked incredulously.

I shook my head. "I'm not as strong as you guys remember." I scowled, I hated being the weak link but even if I could I wouldn't hurt anyone. Carlisle tells me I couldn't hurt a fly, not true. I killed one once, accidentally of course and cried for hours afterwards. Emmett teased me while Esmè comforted me and Carlisle gave me strange looks.

"He has wolf in his blood, he hasn't shifted yet but he will."

"I know." I told her.

She frowned confused "But you just said…"

"His name is Jacob Black, obviously descendant of Ephriam the last alpha." I said in a duh tone.

"And you're going to hang out with him?" Emmett asked incredulously.

"Like you said, he hasn't shifted yet." With that I spun on my heel and walked over to the table where Jake and Bella were sitting.

"Welcome back shorty, what crawled up blondies ass and died?" I scowled at the nickname.

"That's Rosalie, my big sister. She's just worried about me."

"Well that's sweet and all but why is she trying to murder me with her eyes?"

"Don't worry about Rose, she hates everyone except Em and me."

"Em?"

"My brother Emmett. Do you have siblings? I have four adding Jasper and Alice."

"I have two sisters both older, Rachel and Rebecca. They're twins."

"What about you Bella?"

She shook her head. "Only child." The bell rang as she said that and we wade plans to hang out after school.

XxX

"I don't trust him." Rose and I have been having this same argument for three weeks straight about Jacob. She doesn't trust him because he will turn into a wolf soon, I think she's just worried about my reaction when he has to stop talking to me.

"Rose…" I sighed, rubbing my temples feeling like I had a headache which was impossible. Vampires didn't get headaches and they certainly didn't get tiered which I had been a lot lately.

"Edward are you alright?" She asked grabbing my arm to steady me as I swayed on my feet.

"I'm fine.. I just need to sit for a moment." I mumbled tiredly.

"Carlisle, there's something wrong with Edward." She shouted making me flinch.

"Not so loud Rose." I grumbled flopping onto my bed feeling exhausted.

"Edward what's the matter." Carlisle asked concerned.

"Nothing I've just been feeling a little drained lately is all, I'll be fine after I hunt." I said as I got up and jumped out of my window to do just that.

Turns out I wasn't fine because two weeks later I felt like my heart was being ripped from my chest.

I tried so hard to keep my discomfort to myself but it soon became impossible when I collapsed climbing up the stairs and Rose caught me.

What the hell is happening to me?
