Josh suggested we stay away from them. Nikki and I agreed that if we had nothing to do with them it would be safer. After lunch I headed down to my next class, Biology. Well since it was my best subject there really wasn't anything to worry about. I headed inside the room and walked up to the teacher that was writing on the board.
" Ummm...Sir?" I said politly.
" Oh I'm sorry. My name is Mr. Banner. You are one of the new students correct?" He asked.
" Yes I am. Ummm... Where do I sit?" I asked looking around. Every table had two people sitting in it except one. Only one table had one beautiful bronze haired boy sitting in it.
" Beside Mr. Cullen." He replied pointing to the Greek god known as Mr. Cullen. " Oh but first, I would like you to intrduce yourself to the class."
" Oh. Ummmm...I guess I could." I said very quietly. Everyone who knew me, knew that I was shy, VERY shy. But this was an order so I had to obey it. I stood in front of the class and and cleared my throat.
" My name is Bella Swan and I moved here from Colorado with my two adopted siblings Nikki Woods and Josh Russo. Our adopted parents are Mary and Peter Mason." I said not taking my eyes off the bronze haired boy.
" Thank you miss Swan. You may take your seat." Mr. Banner said cooly as my stare fell to the floor.
I walked towards him with my eyes glued to the floor. As his scent got stronger I became weaker. I took my seat next to him and took out my books. Out of the corner of eye I could see him staring at me. The rest of Biology went by like this. Him staring...me not looking. Mr. Banner started to pass out papers. When he dropped two papers by our table I saw the topic:
' The Phases of Mitosis'
This shouldn't be hard, I thought as I smiled at myself. I knew every phase in perfect order and I knew everything about them. Just then as Mr. Banner reached his desk, he spoke.
"Today we will talking about the Phases of Mitosis. Everyday we will talk about a different phase. Today we will talk about the first phase. Edward Cullen, can you tell me what the first phase is?'' He asked. He seemed pretty bored, well who wouldn't after they have taught the same subject for thirteen years? Then the angel next to me spoke for the first time.
" Interphase." He said in his velvety voice.
" Thank you Edward." Mr. Banner said.
So his name was Edward...He was probably born around the early 1900's. That name had already grown out of style about seventy years ago. As Mr. Banner droned on and on about the Interphase I was thinking why I had such a pull to this stranger. I never felt anything like this before. Suddenly the bell rang leaving my thoughts hovering so I gathered my items and stood up from my chair. I walked to the door and out the room with Edward right behind me. The hallways were so crowded and everyone was pushing and shoving their way through.I was pushed several times but never hard enough to fall. One boy started running and yelling about his B+ in math and pushed anyone that stood in his way. I heard his annoying voice right behind me and as I turned around he ran straight into me pushing to the floor. I knew I was going to fall so I closed my eyes ready for the impact but it never came. I felt strong arms catch me and looked up to see Edward Cullen holding me. As our skin stayed in contact, I felt an electricity current flow from him into me. I could of stayed in that position for the rest of eternity but, sadly, he helped me back to my feet.
" Ummmm...Thanks." I said turning to nervously walk away down the hallway. I didn't know where I was going but I had to get away from him. I heard Edward calling my name but I didn't look back. When I finally stopped I realized I was in front of my Government classroom. I reached in my pocket to get out my list to check what class I had next. I searched all my pockets and backpack but no luck. Great just my luck! Now I had no idea where to go next. I continued down the hallway until I found the office. I walked inside and asked Ms. Cope for a new list explaining that I had lost my first one. She printed out two lists just in case if I lost one I would have and extra. I checked out my list and it said I had P.E. next. It's a good thing that these lists had maps on the back, otherwise I would've been lost by now. It said I had to go down the hallway turn right then pass two other classrooms until I could get my watch, 2:59 P.M. I only had one minute before class started otherwise I'd be late. I checked to make sure that the hallways were empty. I listened very closely to make sure I couldn't hear any heartbeats. Nothing. I ran through the hallways vampire speed and got there just in time. I walked in and the first thing I saw was Nikki in blue shorts and a grey shirt and her hair was tied up in a pony tail. I smiled at her as I walked into the girls changing room. I quickly changed into uniform and went back out. Everyone was seated on the ground criss-cross style. I sat down beside Nikki.
" So what'd I miss?" I whispered. I had no idea what the coach intended on us doing today.
" Basketball. Girls vs. Boys." She wispered back.
" Perfect. I'm great at basketeball!!" I exclaimed quietly while clapping my hands.
" Bella that one day you went to basketball camp doesn't make you a pro." Nikki said.
" I never said I was one!" I replied.
" You were gonna." She said angrily.
Well...yeah maybe I was. But I wasnt going to tell her that!
The teacher called team captains. A girl named Sarah was our team captain. She had black beautifully layered hair and wore thin glasses. A guy named Zack was named the boys' team captain. He had brown short curly, hair and he was sort of tall. The game started out bad for the girls. The boys had 7 while we had 0. In the end girls won 12 to 9. Yay! I didn't see Nikki leave...hmmm. Well she never really like to celebrate so she probably left before everyone got to crazed. I wonder if Edward liked to celebrate? Wait...why was I thinking about Edward! Uggh I mean he was attractive but I don't think that we could possibly.....no it could never happen. I mean Josh told us to steer clear of that coven, so I will do as I am told. I was never one to break rules, so why should I start now just because i'm curious? Was that the only reason I wanted to know more about him??......Stop thinking about him!!!! When I had gone out into the parking lot I started to search for my keys. I checked my pockets and looked through my backpack. I found pencils, papers, a binder, and journals but no keys. Where had I put my keys!!! My eyes searched over everthing. Something shiny in the car had cought my eye. The keys!!! I opened the door. It was unlocked...I had locked my door. I always lock my door.... There was a note beside the keys. I picked it up and read it:
Dear Bella,
You dropped your keys when you almost fell this morning. I was trying to call after you but either you ignored me or just didn't hear me. Don't worry, I didn't take anything from your car.
Best Wishes,
Edward Cullen
