CHAPTER THREE
EDWARD POV
High School. I seriously wish I could go to sleep in moments like these. My sisters Alice and Rosalie were squabbling over an issue as idiotic as fashion. They're not really my sisters and neither is Jasper my brother. They're all adopted into a tiny little coven like me. Carlisle is the head of our coven. We call him Dad and Esme, his mate, Mom. Moreover, the best part of it all is, we're all vampires, except for Rose. She's some sort of a super-human who happens to be immortal.
I'm sitting in my English Class and our teacher has yet again decided to be late. Today, something has gotten these students excited. Some new student.
I looked up without any interest as the class fell silent. And it's the new girl. I stared at her. There's something different about this girl. But, what? She has dark brown hair, chocolate brown eyes. She's holding a pile of papers and books, with difficulty, almost as if they're about to fall from her hands. Her delicate hands. I can practically see the blood running in her veins. Maybe I should go help her with her books. She didn't even look towards me.
I shook my head. Realizing that I was holding my breath, I sucked in my breath as she made her way towards me. I looked at Jasper, sitting next to me, to see if he had noticed my reaction to her. O-k, someone looks murderous. Huh. He's glaring at the new girl. I nudged him. No one in our coven glare's at a human girl. His expression changed to one of surprise as looked at me.
I used my power to find out his problem. I can hear people's thoughts, see.
What'swrongwithyou?He asked me mentally. I shrugged. Was there something wrong with me? Uh-Uh, I don't think so. I let out my breath as she came near me. I took a deep breath to calm down, just as she passed me to take the seat behind me. Ugh! What the hell? I swear, had I been human I would have thrown up. There was a smell of a wet dog mixed with the lure of human blood. Gross! I coughed. Jasper just stared at me with his eyebrows raised.
'What's the matter with you?' he asked me. 'I caught that stench as soon as sheentered the class' he murmured.
'What d'you think she is?' I asked in a murmur.
Doyouneedtoask?thought Jasper.
'Y'know, I can hear you' whispered a vicious voice behind me. I turned to look at her. She was pretending to read the book in front of her, but her eyes were not moving. The students of the class were back to talking to each other. A few of them kept shooting her covert looks. Only Alice and Rose looked up at her words.
She looked up as though she felt my gaze. I've never seen eyes like hers. Usually brown eyes were empty, hers looked as though they were full of secrets. Her face. It's the most beautiful face I've ever seen in history. Her hair was waist-length and dark brown and wavy. Her eyes were bordered with long dark eyelashes. Eyes, that were suddenly boring into mine.
