Chapter 3

Bella's Point Of View

"Okay kids" Coach Clapp said.

"I've paired you up because today, we are learning ballroom dancing."

Many groans came from the crowd behind.

"I know, I know, I hate dancing as well but the girl's choice dance is coming up soon and for all you guys that are hoping to be asked, you better be qualified by your lady" Clapp chuckled to himself.

Mike seemed pretty excited that I was his partner.

Jessica's face clouded with disbelief. "I can't believe I actually got paired with Edward Cullen!" She squealed."

"Neither can I" Edward said so low that only I could hear him.

I started laughing and he flashed me a crooked smile that nearly took my breath away.

"Okay class, get together with your partner" barked the coach.

Mike came almost running to me and Jessica left my side in a flash.

"Now first, I want each of you to show me what you already know about dancing" Coach C. said.

I already know how to dance, I just choose not to. Mike knew how to dance as well. He grabbed my hand and placed his other hand on my waist.

"So Bella, are you free tonight?"

Was Mike really asking me out? I just met him today! I felt like throwing up on his shoes.

"Um, actually Mike, I'm not available. I just moved here and I still need time to adjust to Forks."

"Oh, okay, that's cool. Another time then?" "Maybe" I said in a weak voice.

Edward's Point Of View

I watched with disgust as Bella danced with Newton. Jessica just kept on talking.

Mike slid his hand down Bella's back, closer to her ass.

Bella reacted instantly and slapped him loudly across the face.

Mike looked completely dumbfounded and was red as a tomato.

Mike let go of Bella and raised her hand. "Yes Bella?" Coach Clapp asked. "Mike Newton just sexually harassed me! Can I get a new partner?" Bella demanded. Newton's face was still cherry red and clouded with blush and embarrassment.

"Uh, yes Bella, of course. Newton! Principal's office, now! Cullen, you will be Bella's new partner. Jessica, pick any of the other guys on the sideline."

I approached Bella with excitement and relief that the issue with Mike, was taken care of.

"Just so you know, I can't dance" she said sheepishly.

"That's okay, 'cause I know how" I grinned.

Bella turned her head slightly, her face covered in a faint, soft, pink blush.

The feeling of Bella in my arms, literally made me melt with warm happiness.

I was falling more and more in love with her every second.

"Well that was interesting" I commented. Bella just laughed and the period was over.

Bella's Point of View

At lunch, I met the rest of Edward's family. Alice, Emmett, and Rosalie welcomed me with open arms. Japer however, was a little cautious. I understood perfectly and he just smiled. "So Bella, what exactly are you?" Emmett asked.

"Emmett! Don't be rude" Rosalie said while slapping him in the back of the head.

"No, it's fine really" I smiled at the both of them.

I took in a breath. "I am two-thirds human and one-third vampire. The human qualities I have, which you probably have already noticed, is that blood runs through my veins and that's pretty much the human part of me."

"For the vampire part, I am immortal, I fairly stronger than an ordinary human, and I have a power. Oh! And my eyes change to different shades of caramel colors depending on my mood."

I looked back at the Cullens. Every one of them was in shock. "So, do you eat human food?" Alice asked.

I shook my head no. "The only time I actually felt thirsty for blood was right after I had woken up from the change. After that, the burning in my throat never occurred to me again."

The Cullens were still in shock.

Emmett finally broke the silence. "So what's you power?"

Before I spoke, I thought about what I wanted to say without freaking them out on me again.

"Well, I am a shield. I can protect myself and others from mental and physical actions. Oh! And it can move things too!"

"So that's why I can't read your mind" Edward said in amazement.

I nodded quietly. "You're much more than that" Edward whispered in my ear.

I knew the others could hear every word he told me.

As I looked at each of them, I knew that I was about to say something that only Edward knew about.

Author's Note: ok… so a couple things to mention at the end of this chapter…

Oh! and by the way, the line "I felt like throwing up on his shoes." Of course, she really can't but it's the feeling that she wants to. Sorry is that was confusing for anyone.
