EPOV:
I had not seen anyone so beautiful in all my life. From the moment I set eyes on her, I had never wanted to look away. I had asked one of the guys who she was and he had replied, with longing in his voice, "Oh, that's Bella Cullen."
I had wanted to slap him for the thoughts he must be having about her, but this angry notion startled me. I had no claim to her, but I just felt drawn to her, felt the strangest need to be by her side.
Seeing her in the old and outdated cafeteria of Forks High School, I wondered if I was dreaming. Sitting with her family, secluded from the rest of the student population, made her seem that much more elite, but not in an obnoxious way. It just fit that someone of her caliber and class be raised above the normal human in every way possible.
I saw her mouth move but could not distinguish who she was talking to or what she was saying. My father had taught me to read lips, but I couldn't figure out a single word she said. I glanced around and saw Mike, a friendly but rather self-centered boy, sitting next to me. I could tell from his expression that he was not truly paying attention to the conversation flowing around our table, but that his thoughts were far away and probably with a girl he hoped to date. He had taken me under his wing in a way since I was the most recent addition to the Forks community, but I wasn't to keen on what his idea f "fun" was.
I wanted to walk across the dilapidated room to see Bella close up, to examine her perfect features, but I realized from the way she and her family sat and held themselves that they did not want to be disturbed.
With chagrin I heard the bell ring and stood, gathering my bag and fishing out my schedule card to find my next class. Ugh, biology. I was in all honors classes at my old school in Chicago and if this morning was any reference, this afternoon would be a snore fest. Building four was a straight shot from the cafeteria and as I walked, I glanced up at the sky. The dense clouds were not much of a change for me, used to the ever changing weather of the Midwest. I had known that moving to the Olympic Peninsula would mean lots of rain, but this notion did not bother me.
I reached the other side of the courtyard and opened the door to the biology classroom. I never took my eyes of the front desk, not yet willing to take in the stares I was surely receiving. Mr. Banner took the paper I gave him and directed me to sit with "Ms. Cullen." I let slip a small gasp and turned, seeing Bella clearing the desk for me to sit next to her. I couldn't believe this. I had the amazing opportunity to get to know her, speak to her, and decipher if she had feelings for me too.
As I made my way to the desk, I saw her jerk her head up to stare at me. That look would have made any man scream, but I was paralyzed. Before I knew what was happening. Bella had strode to the front desk, gotten excused and was on her way out the door. I still couldn't move.
"Edward, man," muttered a boy whose name I remembered was Eric, "You should sit down before Mr. Banner gets pissed at you."
I followed his instructions automatically, still deep in my reverie. I sat through the rest of the lesson, wondering what had possessed Bella to make her stare at me with a look of pure rage. I realized that there was something else in her expression; horror maybe? Was I that disgusting to her? What had I done to deserve that when she didn't even know my name?!
I remained dazed through the rest of the day and all the way home. My mom saw the odd look on my face, but was too engrossed in her novel to say more than a few passing words about my first day going well. I mumbled unintelligibly before retreating to my room to ponder what about my self could have disgusted Bella Cullen so much that she would leave class just to avoid me?
A/N: Hope you liked this update! I thought I would try a chapter from Edwards head, but I'm not so sure about the turn out. Reviews are always appreciated, but never a mandate. I hate being forced to comment just to get another chapter, so I won't do that to you guys. Until a later date (very soon!)
Nora!
