Chapter Three

BPOV

I walked into the lunchroom with Alice and Emmett, a bit faster than a human. Jasper and Rosalie were already sitting at our usual table. I sat down and grabbed an apple. Tossing around in my hands, I heard another thought about the new student, Edward Swan. I hadn't seen him personally yet, but I had seen him in everyone elses' thoughts.

No way, a new student! He's really hot...

Thought Whitney Hughes.

I'd bet my girlfriend ditches me to go out with him. He's the only thing she's been talking about all day...

Luke Marcus.

Edward was Cheif Charlie Swan's son, and he came here from Pheonix. Out of curiosity, I decided to concentrate on Edward's thoughts, instead of the normal rumble of everyones thoughts at the same time.

Hm. That was odd. I didn't hear anything. I had never came across someone I couldn't read.

"Alice?"

What 'cha need, Bella?

She thought, not even bothering to ask out loud.

"Its that new guy. Edward Swan. I can't read his thoughts."

She spoke out loud. "That's really weird."

"I know."

From across the room, I heard Mike Newton talking about us to Edward, and then more specifically, me, but then he thought:

Bella soo likes me. But she's in denial. Poor girl.

I started laughing.

"Whats so funny, Bella?" Emmett asked me.

"Newton thinks I like him, but I'm in denial!" All of us laughed.

"Hey Ali! I Haven't laughed that hard since I panted your lambourghini pink and green stripes last week!" Emmett chuckled.

"Don' talk about it..." She whispered, almost to quiet for even vampie ears. Alice started dry-sobbing, and Jasper put a hand on his wife's shoulder to comfort her while she kept thinking,

It was a good car. So young.

Haha.

I looked over at Mike's table to see Edward Swan staring at me. I looked into his emerald green eyes, for nearly two seconds, when I heared the rumble of the air conditioning turning on. It blew in our tables' direction. I was immediatley overwhelmed by a scent that I had never smelled before. It was definetley human, but it was the best smelling human that i had ever come across in my 105 years of existence. I caught my breath, and froze, gripping the table so tightly that it was cracking under the pressure. The weird thing was, is that no one elses' throats were bursing into flames. Alice noticed my reaction to the human's scent and kicked my chair. I took a quick, agonizing breath and spoke.

"What, Alice?"

Right when I said that, I saw Alice's vision in her mind. I was standing there, In the forest, with Edward dead on the ground, and my eyes were red. The picture blurred and then I saw me and Edward holding hands. He was a vampire, also.

No. Neither of those would happen. They couldn't happen.

"That will never happen, Alice!" I angrily whispered. "That can't happen. I will not turn him into a vampire, but I will resist it!" The air conditioner blew his scent over to me again. I got tense, and a part of the table where my hands were crumbled. Crap. I tried to smoothen it out. Carlile told us that if something ever were to happen, we should destroy all evidence. It was hard to fix a hole in a table, but after afew seconds, it looked okay. I didn't think I could stand the scent anymore. It was too much. Like if you put a recovering heroin addict inside a room with illegal drugs. Impossible to resist. I felt like I was about to snap.

"I can't do this." I whispered.

"Yes you can, Bella." Jasper said. Even Jasper, our newest vegetarian, didn't seem to have a problem with the scent.

Okay, to get to Edward, I would block the door, and kill everyone inside the room. I could walk up to him and pretend to whisper in his ear. People probably wouldn't know what I was doing for maybe, ten seconds. If they did notice, I guessed that I could end seven lives every second. Thats the whole room in fourteen seconds, since there were only 100 people. Easy.

Luckilly, the bell rang. I jumped to my feet with my untouched food tray in hand, threw the food away, and ran out of the room.

In biology. I sat down in my normal seat and put my books in my desk. I didn't need the books, because i had been a junior almost 20 times, but we had to keep up appearances. I was pretending to absentmindedly flip through my book, while listening to peoples thoughts. One really caught my was Angela Weber. She had the nicest thoughts in the school.

I think Edward is in this class.

Right when Angela thought that, Edward Swan walked through the door. His irrisistable scent completely filled the room. He walked in front of a fan on the floor, which blew the fragrange from his blood right toward me. I grabbed the desk, and the black tabletop started to crack. The chait beside me was the ony open seat. I heard Mr. Banner tell Edward to sit at my desk. I scooted my chair as far away as possible, held my breath, and kept my tight grip on the table. I had been a vegitarian vampire for eighty years, but I wondered if I could resist this.

If I couldn't resist Edward's blood, I couln't have witnesses. I could probably kill everyone in this room in a matter of three seconds, so no one could see what I am about to do. But if someone screams, I would have to kill more than that, because more likely than not, someone would come to investigate. I didn't want to kill so many innocent children though. It goes agenst everything Carlile has taught me. I didn't know what to do.

The bell rang, and I got my things and ran out of the room. I ran to seventh period, hoping Edward and I didn't have that class together. When Government was over, I walked to the office. I walked up to the desk and asked Mr. Cope for a 6th period class change.

"I'm very sorry Bella, but there aren't anymore classes open."

I batted my eyelashes, and tried to sound convincing. "Are you sure?"

She is so beautiful. Oh, God! Why am I thinking about a teenage girl like this? I'm truly disgusting. But she is pretty... I chuckled, too low for a human to hear.

"Yes. Your going to have to stay in Biology."

Right when Mr. Cope said that, Edward stumbled into the office. His scent completely saturated the room's air in two seconds. I walked out the other door of the office, not wanting to be next to him. I ran outside, and into the parking lot, faster than a human but not so fast that attention was drawn to me. The rest of my family was waiting for me. Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper piled into the red BMW and Alice and I got into my Volvo. Right when I was about to close the door, I saw Edward, and I caught the scent of his blood. I held my breath, tightened my grip on the steering wheel and glared at him.

Once I pulled out of the parking lot, I immediatley floored it. I didn't look at how fast I was going, but I knew I was going at least 130. Police weren't around, they were all at the station, because I heard their thoughts. All of them were thinking about some card game they were playing, so I didn't have to worry about getting a ticket. Not that I couldn't pay it, I just had enough to be stressed about.

In five minutes, Alice and I got to our house on the edge of town. Record time. I parked my Volvo in the huge garage, and ran inside at vampire speed. I needed to talk to Carlisle.

"Carlisle?" I whispered, knowing he could hear me from anywhere in the house.

He flew down the stairs, hearing me call for him.

"Yes, Bella?" He asked me with curious eyes.

"I need to leave for a while. The new student at school-"

Edward Swan? He thought.

"Yes. His blood is almost impossible to resist. I have to leave. Go to Alaska or something."

"How long will you be gone?"

" I have no idea."

"Take my car." Carlisle tossed me his car keys and I ran out.

As I started his black Mercades, knowing everyone would hear me, I muttered,

"Thanks. Bye."
