The morning dragged along; watching the minutes crawl by, my mind occupied itself with glimmers of hope that Edward would soon emerge into my English Literature class. He didn't come…but why did I feel so disappointed? What is it about this boy that makes me feel so…alive? I couldn't concentrate on any task we were given; my mind was way too pre-occupied on his sudden disturbed reaction in History. What did I say? And those eyes, oh those eyes! Who knew such beautiful, warm golden eyes could turn so disturbingly black?

The bell rang for lunch; I got up and silently made my way to the Student Common Room where no doubt I would find Lucas surrounded by a group of girls. I headed towards the faded wooden door, assuming this would be the common room; it was covered in poster of upcoming events. Jeez! First day of school and social events had already been organised! The walls were pale yellow but couldn't been seen as most of the walls were plaster with posters of celebs that were considered 'pin-ups'. It was evident that not everyone took a liking to Cliff Richard, his picture had been totally covered with; well let's just say 'interesting' artwork. Old faded blue sofas were dotted all around the room (I'm guessing it was to contrast it with the yellow walls, failing miserably of course) a pool table with three legs; the fourth supported by a stack of boxes, and in the corner the jukebox played Kings of Leon. To say this room was packed was an understatement, the students crammed at least 5 people on a sofa designed to fit only 3.

Lucas, predictably, was surrounded by a group of girls, desperate to get his attention. I had never heard so many fake giggles in my life! I was amused to see that Lucas didn't seem to be enjoying himself. He shot a glance as if to say 'save me!' Which was slightly worrying as attention is what he thrived off. I walked slowly to the group of girls that had my brother surrounded like some piece of helpless meat. I could only think of one word to describe this bunch....orange! The 'have you been tangoed?' was obviously considered literally here.

I pulled Lucas from their grasp, "Lucas, your ego is something needs to be scientifically tested, I'm not sure anyone would consider it 'safe' with you around." He turned to me and pulled that pathetically huge grin, "Hey! It's better than doing drugs!" I gave him a hard sisterly nudge, although it was pretty lame as I'd ended up laughing like a loon. We sat there in silence for a while; I noticed that Lucas hadn't spoken a single word since my 'heroic rescue'. Probably still traumatised by the orangeness of their skin or looking for his next victim. I looked at his face, just to make sure he hadn't fallen asleep or anything. I was intrigued by the length of his gaping mouth and bulging eyes, he was staring in awe at something....make that 'something' a girl, unsurprisingly.

'Man she is fine!!! I have to go over and introduce myself!' Lucas got up and made his way across the common room. I noticed his usual walk had turned into a sort 'strut'; this didn't seem to do him any favours. A couple of the guys who were sitting across from us stared at him with amused faces.

'Lucas don't, you'll only make a fool of yourself! Do you want to be seen as a player already? It's only our first day,' I pleaded with him wanting him to come and sit down, but he had already arrived at his destination, much to my dismay, and began to introduce himself. I hurried across the room actually hoping to trip over. I collided into Lucas who had stopped a few feet away from the girl that had no doubt caught his attention.

It was then that I noticed whose family he was talking to. There he was; my angel, my sculpture of pure perfection, the golden eyed boy…Edward. He looked up and his eyes met mine. Beautiful is the only word that echoed in my mind. I could feel my legs struggling to keep me up, my heart was racing and a sudden surge of electricity shot through me. Butterflies fluttered busily in my stomach causing me to blush a deep pink.

'Hello Faith,' his voice although like velvet sounded strained, I could feel my body tingle causing every hair and goose bump to surface. He didn't smile, he just…stared. I felt myself drown into his liquid golden eyes, unable to climb out, I couldn't and I wouldn't allow it.

'Hi,' I said was breathlessly, I could feel the air being drawn out of me. He smiled unexpectedly and turned. The breath was now literally knocked out of me. I managed to look up yet to be greeted with four more striking creatures. Their faces were perfectly sculptured, their cheekbones sharp and defined. But I noticed that they were paler than anyone else in the room, their skin was ashen and flawless and I was sure that the blonde girl by the window sparkled slightly. She looked like an angel, no, a goddess. A goddess of beauty, I don't think I've ever seen something so spectacular, ever. Her shining blonde hair draped over her shoulders, I could see that it was naturally wavy. I noticed that most of the girls in the common room were glaring at her. I didn't blame them she could make any girl take a hit on her self confidence with one glance. She sat on the opposite side to Edward looking bored and as though the boys in the college were covered in something disgusting. It was then that I realised the reason for Lucas coming over to this group of people. He no doubt thought he had a chance with Edward's sister, and by the look Edward's brother give him it was obvious she was not single.

'Ciao I'm Lucas... and you are?' He stated trying to put on his best Italian accent. (At this point I had to suppress a laughing fit. It was not often Lucas put on a fake accent to impress a girl, but when he did it was hilarious.)

At this point Edward began chuckle. It suddenly dawned on me that Edward still thought that Lucas and I were dating. I blushed crimson, but didn't care Edward's laugh fascinated me. He was a complete different person when he was with these people. Perhaps he really didn't like me.

'Faith if I were you I would try and stop your boyfriend flirting with my sister.' his voice sounded strained but he seemed to still be enjoying my brother's idiotic behaviour.

'Okay... sure Edward. By the way this doofus is my twin brother Lucas' he looked puzzled he obviously did not expect me to introduce him in such a rude way. But then again he did assume we were dating so maybe he was not expecting that statement. I had grabbed onto Lucas' arm and began to shake him violently trying to get some sense out of him. As I thought that Edward's brother looked ready to confront him and judging their differences in size Lucas would defiantly lose.

'Lucas I think your attempt at flirting has seriously failed..... HELLO!! Are you in there??' I gave his a knock on the head, trying to show that he looked like a brainless idiot. He shrugged it off and faced me and gave me his pathetically big grin. At that moment I knew that he would not give up on his quest for this girl.

Edward's pixie-like sister got up and nudged Edward. 'Eddie are you going to introduce us to your new friends?' I noticed that Edward's brothers were trying to suppress laughter at his nickname. In my opinion by the look in Edward's eyes he looked like he was going to attack them right there.

'Alice its EDWARD! You know how much I hate Eddie.... Oh yeah I was about to. Faith these are my siblings Emmett is the tall guy with dark hair, Jasper is sitting next to him, Rosalie and this pixie is Alice' he smirked obviously pleased that his nickname irritated her. She then began jumping up and down 'We're going to be great friends. This is great I have a new shopping buddy', this actually sent fear through me. I hated shopping and Alice looked like the kind of person who shopped for hours.

Lucas chose this moment to realise that he was getting nowhere with Rosalie, he began to shift his weight uncomfortably obviously wanting to get away from the Cullen's. He quickly glared at me, obviously wanting me to create an excuse for us to leave. I turned to Edward and said 'I'm really sorry about Lucas. His ego is quite dangerous. I'm going to go and hit him over the head, because of his idiotic behaviour' Emmett seemed to have a coughing fit, but in my opinion he was trying to suppress his laughter.

I turned and grabbed Lucas' arm, wanting to get away from the embarrassing scene. 'Faith I'm sorry for assuming you and Lucas were dating it was a wrong assumption on my half and I apologise. I'll see you soon'. He smiled that perfect crooked smile which left my mind totally bewildered. Lucas had to shake me several times before I became fully coherent. Edward smiled once more and turned back to his family. I turned and practically ran out of the common room embarrassed at my incoherency in Edward's company. Taking a deep breath I realised that things may not be as bad as I thought they would be. Especially with the Cullen's around. There was definitely a mystery about them and I was determined to figure out what it was.
