Chapter 3

EPOV

My sister Alice said something about a new girl coming, and that she's going to be her new best friend. All she had to say was "new girl" and I was sold.

My best friends Emmett and Jasper were talking about a girl, too. She was the talk of Forks.

Alice stayed over at Emmett's with Jasper and Rosalie. I was invited, too, but I didn't feel like going. A house full of couples was not where I wanted to be.

I got dressed, ate breakfast, and headed to school in my Volvo.

I parked in my usual spot next to Emmett's Jeep, and noticed a brand new Mustang on the other side of it. I have to say it was a very nice looking car.

After staring for all of two seconds, I went straight to English.

As football captain, and leading touchdown scorer on the team, girls just lined up to date me. I've never dated a girl; they're just too clingy.

All any of the girls here are good for is making out. They all know I won't date them, but somehow they still line up to make out with me again. I guess it's because they all hope that they'll be the one to get me to settle down. That just makes me laugh. I'm sure what Emmett and Jasper have is nice when you find it, but who said I was looking right now?

As I was thinking about all of this, Lauren Mallory came over and sat on my lap.

"Hey Eddie," she said.

"Lauren, how many times do I have to tell you not to call me that?" I asked. It was such a disgusting name, like Mike. Mike Newton; that stupid wannabee. I said hi to him once, and now he thinks he's my best friend.

"Oh, I know you don't like it," she said trying to be seductive. What did I say? The only thing they're good for is making out; and half of them aren't good at it at all.

We started making out a little bit, until something hit the back of my head. Lauren got off of me and went to her seat. Then I turned around and looked down; a piece of paper was crumpled into a ball right behind my seat.

I looked back and saw Rosalie and my sister talking. Rosalie looked up at me and gagged; I just chuckled. Then she pointed to Alice and I rolled my eyes and turned around.

After English, every period was pretty much the same like it was everyday; I would make out with a girl until class started, or I was interrupted by someone.

I didn't even get to eat lunch today because Jessica Stanley insisted that I stay with her longer. I didn't really want to; I was kinda hungry. Besides, she wasn't one of the best.

After "lunch" I went to biology.

When I stepped into the room, I saw who I could only assume to have been the new girl, sitting at my usual table talking to Alice and Jasper. She was gorgeous.

Although I couldn't see her face very well, something about her made me think she was different from the rest of the girls in Forks. She would be putty in my hands.

I made my way over to them and sat down. No doubt would Jasper and Alice be mad at me for skipping lunch.

"Finally decided to grace us with your presence?" Jasper asked annoyed. Big shocker there.

"Sorry, I was a little busy if you know what I mean," I said.

"Seriously Edward!?" Alice shrieked, but only loud enough for just our table to hear. "Rose almost threw up at your display in English this morning, and you scarred my new best friend for life." Then I heard the sound of the new girl's soft giggle. It was the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. 'I wonder what her voice sounds like…' I thought. Wait! Hold on a second, she's just some girl.

I was right; I didn't even know this girl.

"I'll take that as a compliment," I said. "I could help relieve some of that jealousy for her." Then she snorted.

We all looked over at her, and when she looked up from her book, she wore a mask of pure confusion on her face.

"What?" she asked. Her voice was even more beautiful than… ' Shut up! I yelled in my head.

I stared at her for a moment, and got lost her in chocolate brown eyes. There was just something about her 'Dude! You don't even know her! I shouted in my head. I was used to these silent conversations with myself, but this was a lot, even for me.

When she went back to reading her book, I turned back around and faced the front of the room, waiting for class to start.

Once the bell rang for the end of class, Jasper and Alice got up and started to head towards the door. The new girl started gathering up her books, but tripped when she tried to get up.

I acted on impulse, and wrapped my arm around her waist to steady her.

"Thanks," she said. I let go of her, but I didn't want to. I felt some sort of magnetic pull towards her. I shook off that thought as she turned around. She looked completely shocked to see me there.

"Be careful there, I wouldn't want you to mess up that beautiful face," I said. She still had that shocked expression on her face, but quickly composed herself.

"Ew! What-What are you, hitting on me!?" she yelled.

"Well I was just…" I started.

"Well I was just…" she interrupted, mocking me. "Let me put a stop to that little brain fart right now. Girls with asses like mine do not talk to boys with faces like yours." Then she walked over to Alice and Jasper who were laughing hysterically.
I was in total shock. No one has ever spoken to me like that before.

When she turned around, I was angry. I didn't understand how one insignificant girl could make me feel this way.

The three of them left for their next class still laughing, while I gathered my stuff and stalked off to gym.

I was still angry when I got to the gym, and the fact that we didn't have actual class to distract me didn't help much.

Then Emmett came over to me. I really was not in the mood to talk to anyone; especially him. Even though he's one of my best friend's, he doesn't know when to shut up sometimes.

"Hey Eddie!" he yelled. "What's got your tighty whities in a bunch!?" Then he started laughing.

"Shut it Emmett! I'm not in the mood!" I growled at him. Then I heard that laugh, and looked over to see the new girl laughing on the bleachers.

I gave her a smug smile to let her know that this wasn't over. She looked shocked, and I walked off while quietly laughing at her expression.

I sat down in the bleachers opposite her, and saw Emmett walk over and sit next to her. How does he know her?

I watched the two of them, and then all of a sudden, Emmett burst out laughing. My only guess is that it had something to do with me.

When she stopped laughing, she said something to him, and he immediately stopped. Then he turned to look at her, said something, and she nodded her head. Once again, Emmett's booming laughter filled the gym.

Emmett said something else after he stopped laughing, and then they stopped talking altogether. I couldn't understand how she could want to talk to him and not me.

I didn't know what that feeling was, so I took is as anger from when she humiliated me during class.

Once the bell rang, I met up with Emmett and Jasper for football practice.

I put a lot of effort into practice today, to try and help get my mind off of everything. It really didn't help much, considering anytime Jasper or Emmett looked at me they would start laughing.

It wasn't that funny. I just decided to ignore them, but they never stopped.

"Emmett, would you shut up!?" I yelled at him, when he and Jasper wouldn't stop laughing after practice was over.

"Sorry Eddie. I just didn't think she had it in her," he said.

"Call me 'Eddie' one more time, and I'll tell Jasper over here Rose's little nickname for you." He hated that name more than I hated being called Eddie.

"Ooh, I'm so scared. Little Eddie is gonna tell Jasper," he said mockingly. That was it.

"Hey Jasper! Emmett would like you to call him E…" then he tackled me. "EMMETT! GET OFF!"

"You say one more word and you'll need a ton of plastic surgery just to get your face to look close to how it looks now," he threatened. Then he got off of me and we continued walking to our cars.

"Well, I can't have that," I said. "What would the ladies think?" I smirked at the two of them.

"No, we can't have that," Jasper said sarcastically. I just punched him on the arm.

"As long as you don't bug my sister, I don't care," Emmett said. Wait, he has a sister?

"Dude, I don't even know you sister," I pointed out.

"Yeah you do," Jasper said laughing a little. By this time, we were at our cars. I just looked at him confused.

"Were you paying any attention to what I had said all week?" Emmett asked. When I didn't answer, he sighed and continued. "My sister Bella." I shook my head. "My twin." I just stared at him confused. "The new girl." Light bulb. That's why Jasper was laughing again. I started to get angry at the thought of her. Well at least I knew how Emmett knows her.

"About time," Jasper muttered.

"Whatever," I said. "I'll see you tomorrow." Then I got in my car and went home.

I ate dinner in silence, which isn't unusual for me, and went upstairs to do my homework.

Once that was done, I took a shower, got ready for bed, and fell asleep dreaming about a certain girl I just met.
