Alex let out a loud sigh as she walked into her last room, which was chemistry. She noticed the room was very packed. She waited slowly for the teacher to read over the note; which let him know her name and that she was a transferred student. He smiled at her and then handed her a thick book. She looked around the room and saw there was two empty seats. One was next to Bella Swan, and the other was next to the guy who Jessica said was Edward Cullen. She was relieved when he ask her to sit next to Bella. That would be her assigned seat for the remainder of the year.
Edward raised his hand to cover his mouth, and his nose as she walked past him. Her scent was strong. Much stronger than anything her had ever smelled before, even Bella. He was glad she was sitting two tables back, it knocked the scent a bit. She smelled of roses, and another smell that he just couldn't put his finger on. He turned around and looked to see where she was sitting; he was surprised to see her sitting next to Bella. 'great' he mumbled to himself. The girl from Alice's visions sitting beside his ex girlfriend, now that was really what he considered high school drama.
Alex paid attention during class; she never was good at anything science related, but she knew the school offered tutoring programs after school. She would probably sign up for one of those if she couldn't keep up. Bella tried to start conversation during class; which she found to be rude.
"So,
where are you from?" Bella ask.
"California." Alex
muttered, trying to pay attention to the teacher speak.
"Oh,
that must be nice. Are you liking it here?" Bella ask
again.
"It's fine." Alex replied, trying to keep
conversation short.
Bella seemed to take the hint and allowed Alex to take down her notes. Once the class was over she noticed Edward Cullen was the first to get out of the room. He seemed to leave before the bell even rang. She wondered how he moved so quickly; but didn't think much of it. She gathered her belongings and placed them in her back pack. She held one binder in her arms though that would not fit and began making her way through the crowded hallway of excited students who were thrilled that Monday was over. A very tall boy in a jersey bumped into her causing her to drop her binder to the ground. She sighed once papers flew everywhere. He just walked on without having any consideration for her. 'Some things remain the same no matter where you go' she thought as she picked up her papers.
As she was standing up she smiled seeing the pixie haired girl standing there holding several sheets of her paper.
"Thank you, uhm." She tried to think of
her name, but couldn't remember.
"Alice. You're Alex right?"
Alice replied sweetly.
"Yeah."
Alice just smiled and handed her the sheets of paper. Alex felt kind of awkward standing there just looking at the girl; she noticed her eyes were a Topaz color; it was very unique. Soon a male was standing beside the girl. She remembered his name as Jasper, she smiled sweetly at him.
"Jasper, this is Alex. Alex, this is my
boyfriend, Jasper" Alice introduced the two.
"Nice to
meet you, Jasper."
"It's nice meeting you too, Alex."
Jasper replied with a smile.
She thanked Alice for collecting her papers and then excused herself from the group; she didn't want them to know how awkward she felt. Things wouldn't have been so bad if Jessica hadn't told her how they had only talked to Bella. Now they was talking to her? Was it some weird thing where they only talked to the new girls? She pushed the thoughts of Alice and Jasper to the back of her mind as she walked outside. She saw the other three gorgeous Cullen's standing by the Volvo and Convertible, clearly waiting for the other two. She got inside her car and headed off towards her home.
"She was scared"
Jasper mumbled as he and Alice walked out of the school doors.
"You
think Bella told her?" Alice questioned him.
"I'm not
sure, has Edward said anything about her?" He ask.
She just shook her head as they approached the group. Edward looked at Alice and could tell she had talked to Alex recently.
"What'd
you do, go introduce yourself?" He spat out.
"No, she
dropped a binder and I helped her collect a few things, is that a
problem?" She hissed, growing sick of his attitude.
Jasper could tell Alice and Edward were angry with each other right now; which was very unusual. The two of them were normally so close and considerate of each others feelings. Rosalie, Jasper, and Emmet got inside the convertible while Alice and Edward got in the Volvo.
"She's really nice, Edward" Alice
declared over the sounds of classical music that filled the car.
"I
don't care, Alice." He hissed, keeping his eyes on the road.
"You can't read her mind, can you?" She questioned
him.
"I haven't tried." He lied.
He had tried several times during Chemistry, but he couldn't seem to do it. She was just like Bella; only everything seemed to be stronger; which meant it would be just that much harder to control himself. Alice sit back in the car and crossed her arms, feeling a bit defeated. She didn't know why Edward wouldn't give Alex a chance, but it was bugging her. Once they arrived home she quickly walked inside and into the living room where Esme was cleaning.
"Esme!
Guess what!" Alice squealed with excitement.
"What,
dear?" She ask feeling the excitement in Alice's voice.
"A
new girl came to Forks High today. The girl from my vision!"
Alice nearly shouted.
Esme's lips curved into a smile. Like Alice, she was awaiting the arrival of this new girl. She had listened to Alice's vision's and believed in them. She thought that maybe, finally, Edward was going to find the woman who would complete him. She listened as Alice continued to talk about the girl. Edward slammed the door hearing the conversation.
"Will you
shut up about her, Alice!" He spat.
"Edward, calm down"
Esme ushered in a calming town.
He opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out but a loud growl. He quickly made his way up the stairs at a superhuman speed. Alice shuddered when she heard his bedroom door slam. She sighed, and turned back to Esme who was just standing there with her arms crossed wondering what had went on at school.
"I wish he would move on from Bella,
she's not coming back." Alice stated.
"He loves her,
Alice. It's hard to just let that go" Esme said, not wanting to
choose sides.
"He hasn't experienced love yet" Alice
whispered, as she walked out of the room.
