Chapter Three: I Get My Panties in a Bunch

EPOV

I woke up dreading the upcoming day. It was the first day back at school, could anything be more painfully dull than school? I went downstairs to have breakfast with my family. We were a strange assortment of exceptional people. I was adopted by Dr. Cullen and his wife as were all of my siblings. My father, Carlisle, was incredibly smart and an abnormally good surgeon it was almost as if he had an extra power to heal. My mother, Esme, had the gift of being able to love with extreme force and she was the heart of our family. I had two sisters and two brothers, all adopted into our family. Rosalie was incredibly beautiful and sure of herself. Emmett, her boyfriend and adopted brother was supernaturally strong and the clown of the family. Jasper, my other brother, had the ability to control the feelings and moods of those surrounding him. Alice, his girlfriend and my favorite sister was the most exceptional of all of us. She could see the future. I don't know if my father had looked for extraordinary children when he adopted us, but it's what he got. We used to joke with him that his love for the X-Men movies had driven him to find us all, but we knew it was just some strange twist of fate. I had the most annoying "gift" of all; I could hear people's thoughts. I couldn't turn it off and most of the time I had tune the "voices" out just to seem normal and get through the day. We all kept our special "gifts" secret. No one needed to know what little freaks we all were.

We ate breakfast all together every morning. Today, Alice was gushing over the arrival of a new student and how they would soon become good friends, but weirdly she couldn't see the girl clearly in her visions. We climbed in to my silver Volvo and head off for another year of tedious high school.

I pulled up to Forks High School and with one final breath of human free air in my car I began my test. I walked into the front office and walked up to the red haired receptionist.

"Hello" I said, "My name is Isabella Swan, this is my first day and I need my class schedule."

The receptionist looked up at me and gasped, staring at me like she couldn't form a coherent thought. Did I really look that terrible? Maybe the damp Forks air had made my hair a frizz-ball.

"Here you are Ms. Swan" she finally said, "Have a great day!"

Yeah right. First day in a new school, apparently looking like total crap and then there was the whole wonderful burning in my throat that all but consumed my thoughts. This will be a great day. At least I was still sarcastic as a vampire. I walked to my first class anticipating the worst. My first class was my favorite subject, English. I had read every book on the reading list and knew that it would probably be my easiest class all year. All throughout class people kept staring at me, even the teacher! What was with this place had they never had a new student? As the bell rang a gangly nerdy boy came up to me, I had to give him credit he was the first person brave enough so talk to me.

"You must be Isabella Swan. My name is Eric."

"Yes and I prefer Bella actually."

"Do you need help finding your next class?" he seemed nice, but I was not in any place to make friends. Anyway, weren't humans supposed to instinctively know to stay away from vampires? Animals did. Ha! There's proof, animals ARE smarter than humans.

"Actually I think I know where I'm going thank you. See ya!" I figured I would let him leave before I scared him silly. Everyone kept staring at me all day; every once in a while someone would muster up enough courage to say something but they were quickly scared away when them came too close. Ok so maybe I purposefully showed them my teeth when they were about to come too close, but no need to split hairs. Finally, it was lunch time. This should be fun. I don't think anyone in here would be very happy if I ate my lunch with them. The idea made me giggle a bit, which made me look totally crazy, but who cares I wasn't really planning on making many human friends in this town. We would be leaving in a matter of years and then there was that whole "me maybe killing anyone who got to close" thing.

I got a bottle of diet coke and an apple for lunch. Let the anorexia rumors start… I sat down at an empty table hoping no one would join me. Everyone looked at the empty seats next to me longingly but no one actually acted on their desires. Thankfully, neither did I…ha-ha. Just then a pixie-like girl with spiky dark hair skipped over to me and hugged me tightly. Her blood began to lure me in. It smelled so sweet and she was just so close. I held it together. She was my friend, not my meal.

"Hi Bella! My name is Alice Cullen I'm so happy to finally meet you!"

Wait! Did she really just touch my ice cold skin and not flinch? What was wrong with her!?

"Hi" I said sheepishly.

"Want to sit with me and my family? We're all very friendly!"

"Sure…"

I reluctantly followed her across the cafeteria to a table full of three of the most beautiful people I had ever seen and a Greek God.

All day I saw the new girl, Bella, in everyone's mind. They were all infatuated by her, especially the boys. Most of them had already started planning how they would ask her out. Everyone seemed strangely intimidated by this fragile looking girl, I didn't understand it. It wasn't until lunch that I actually got to see her with my own eyes. She was pretty, but not anything amazing. She looked up and our eyes locked. I saw into her soul through those golden eyes, I had been wrong. She was much more than beautiful. I don't think there is a word strong enough to describe how amazing she looked. Now I understood the infatuation. I had never seen something like her, no girl had ever sparked my interest before but now this one little girl set off my internal fireworks. She had long wavy brown hair, pale skin and the most beautiful face I had ever seen. I saw her walking with Alice towards our table. Alice introduced her to our family and came to me last. I had been trying to hear her thoughts the whole time she was near me but couldn't. Maybe if I looked into her eyes I would unlock the door blocking her thoughts from me. I looked up into her golden eyes again and for the first time in 17 years my mind went blank.

I came to the table of models with Alice and met my first friends in Forks.

"Bella this is Jasper, my boyfriend," he was blond, cute, and as I looked at him a wave of calm swept over me.

"Emmett, my brother," a brown haired giant bear-like boy jump up and hugged me so tight that I couldn't breathe, not that I needed to, his scent made my throat burn. It was going to be a long year if this strange group of humans didn't realize the danger in being close to me.

"his girlfriend Rosalie," she looked like a blond haired supermodel and I hung my head knowing what I looked like next to her.

"and my brother Edward." As she said his name his head snapped up and his eyes met mine with such force I thought he could see into my soul. My heart would've skipped a beat if it could beat.

"Hi!" everyone, but Edward, said. Alice leaned down and whispered to him "breathe" which I could only hear because of my super vampire hearing. He took in a deep breath and smiled the most heart-melting crooked smile I had ever seen. Right then the bell rang and as I turned around to head to class I tripped over my own feet and fell to the ground. This had been a natural occurrence in my human life, but was a first since I became a vampire.

"Bella!" Alice called, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah fine, just a little embarrassed." I said as I quickly stood up hoping not too many people noticed the extreme speed of my movements. "We had better get to class. I'll see you guys later." I waved goodbye and took off for Biology. I was the first one in the room and my new Biology teacher, Mr. Varner, escorted me to my seat with a little too much enthusiasm for a teacher. Ok, I know this was my first time interacting with humans since I had become a vampire, but seriously what was with people today? Ugh, I hated being so different, at least this weekend we would visit the Blacks and I would finally get to interact with someone who not only knew what I was, but was almost as weird as I was. Just then the sound of the chair next to me sliding on the ground interrupted my happy thought. I looked over to see a pair of glittering emerald eyes staring at me. Edward was my lab partner, well at least I would have one class where I kind of new someone. We exchanged greetings quickly before Mr. Varner began his lesson. During his whole lecture I felt the urge to look at Edward, to touch him, well that wasn't going to happen. Even if his sister didn't freak when she felt my cold skin I don't think he would like touching someone who felt like a corpse. Instead I gave in to my first urge, glancing at Edward a few times throughout class and every time saw him staring back at me with a frustrated expression. I started getting angry with him. Who was this boy and why did he look at me like that!? The anger made my throat burn and I knew I had had all I could take for one day. I made an excuse up that I felt sick and headed to the door, giving Edward one last glance as I walked by. Bad idea. I tripped, but before I hit the ground two strong arms caught me, sending an electric shock through my whole body that instantly told me who it was. Edward picked me up at set me back on my feet. My throat burned with a new ferocity and all I could think about was asking Edward to help me to my car, taking him home with me and tasting human blood for the first time. Before I could act on my desires I ran from him and went home to wait for Charlie before we went hunting.

I finally caught my breath after Alice's little reminder, but I still couldn't find my voice so I just smiled at the beautiful creature in front of me. The bell rang before I could say anything intelligent and she ran off without another word tripping on the way which only made her more adorable. I walked in to Biology and my whole world lit up when I saw who was sitting in the chair next to mine. She was my lab partner. Maybe this time I could actually talk to her. She turned and looked into my eyes. All hope of coherent conversation was lost in that moment. We managed a cordial greeting before the lesson started. Since I couldn't talk to her maybe I could figure out how to hear her mind. I spent the whole lesson concentrating on trying to find her "voice". I had never worked so hard at this. Thoughts usually flowed to me without any effort on my part. I wonder what's so different about this girl. Other than how amazing I already thought she was without knowing one thing about her. She kept looking over at me and every time it sent shivers down my spine and warmed my whole body. Well that was a new reaction. Before class was over she suddenly got an angry look on her face and left complaining of some sickness. She glanced at me as she walked by, tripping as she did. I caught her and electricity coursed through my body. As soon as she was on her feet she gave me a terrifying look and her eyes seemed to turn black. She ran and I stared at her like an idiot, as soon as she left my heart sunk. I wanted to see her again, to hold her, hear her thoughts, anything. I had never felt this way before and I wanted to know why.
