3: First Sight

In the morning I got up, and looked over at the alarm clock it said 6:50. "No." I groaned. I liked to sleep. I just didn't like to have to get up. I knew if I went back to sleep my alarm would only wake me up minutes later. I looked outside and it was cloudy and rainy. "Great" I sighed.

I got up and went to go get dressed. After I was finished with my morning routine I went down to the kitchen. Charlie was sitting at the kitchen table eating a bowl of cereal.

"Good morning Bells." Charlie said probably hearing my footsteps.

"Morning dad." I replied. I went into the kitchen and got a bowl for cereal. After we finished eating cereal in a quiet ease Charlie got up.

"Bells are you sure you don't need a ride to school before I go to work." Charlie asked. I thought about it for a while. Then I realized. I had no idea where school was.

"Actually, I do need a ride. I have no idea where school is." I told him.

"Ok then, are you ready to go?" He asked.

"Yea. Let's go" I said grabbing my raincoat and going towards the car. Charlie followed me out to the car locking the door on his way out.

The ride to school was serene. Neither of us talked during the ride and it didn't feel weird or awkward. Then, when we arrived only staff cars were there.

"Thanks for driving me dad." I said to him.

"Your welcome. Do I need to get you after school?" He asked. I paid enough attention to the ride that I knew the way. I figured I could just walk home. The rain will probably let up some by the end of the day.

"No dad. I can mange myself now." I said.

"Have a good day. Bye Bells." Charlie called as I closed the door. Then Charlie drove away as I was getting soaked in rain. No one was at school, which was good. I wasn't looking forward to having an audience watching me get out of the cruiser and luckily I didn't.

I went over to the building marked FRONT OFFICE. I walked into the office, the air instantly warming my rain soaked body. There was a lady with red hair sitting behind the front desk. She looked up at my entrance. "Can I help you?" She asked.

"Hey my name is Isabella Swan. I just moved here from Phoenix." I told her. Her eyes brighten at first, and then she started to shuffle papers around and grabbed a group of papers.

"Hey Isabella. My name is Mrs. Cope. Here is your schedule and here is a map of the campus." Mrs. Cope satiated. She explained what all of the papers were for, and she highlighted the best route to take for classes. Then taking one last paper out, "Oh, get this paper signed by all of your teachers and bring it back at the end of the day."

"Thank you Mrs. Cope. See you later." I said taking the papers. I headed out of the door into the waterfall of rain. Almost the whole campus was full of people in raincoats. I looked over the cars. They were mostly used cars. I continued to observe the parking lot. A shiny silver Volvo caught my attention. Normally in Phoenix you expected to see a new expensive car, like a Porsche or a Mercedes. The Volvo was the only really expensive car in the parking lot.

I headed over to my first class. I walked around the cafeteria and spotted a large black "3" in a white rectangle on the wall. I walked into the classroom behind two people. I studied the small classroom. The two people in front of me hung their raincoats on a long row of hooks. I did the same as them and put my raincoat on a hook.

I went to the front of the classroom. On the teacher's desk there was a name plate that said Mr. Mason. The man sitting at the desk stood up. He towered over my five feet four inches, and his hair was balding.

I gave him a slip of paper to sign and he let me go to the back of the room without an introduction for the class. I was relived not to have to embarrass myself this early.

The class was over pretty quickly, and when I got up to leave the class room. A boy stopped me. "You're Isabella Swan, right?" He questioned. How did he know my name? Word must travel fast in this small school. The boy standing in front of me had black oil slick hair.

"Bella." I corrected. Lots of people looked at me talking to this guy. Until, they lost interest.

"Hey Bella, I am Eric." He introduced. He looked like all he wanted to do was help.

"Hey Eric." I said.

"Where is your next class?" He asked.

"Umm…" I took out the list of classes I had. "Government with Jefferson in building six." I finished.

"I am going to building four, but I could show you the way..." He said.

"Thanks." I said. We both headed over to where all of the rain coats were. We both put on our raincoats and headed out into the relentless rain. I hate the rain. When will this clear up? Probably never since this was Forks. Interrupting my thoughts Eric started some small talk.

"So, this is a lot different the Phoenix, huh?" Eric said.

"Very." I replied.

"Wow, what must that be like?" He said.

"Sunny" I said looking around for a building with a six on it. I spotted it. "Well thanks for helping me. I think I have it from here." I said waving bye.

I started walk towards the building, and I heard Eric sigh.

Slowly the day continued to pass. People were starting to look familiar. Only one teacher made me give an embarrassing introduction. I ended up blushing and tripping. I was so tomato red I would have beaten the sun, if it were out.

When the lunch bell finally rang a girl came next to me as I was getting up. She was in two of my classes: Spanish and Trig. I didn't remember her name.

"Hello." She said perkily.

"Hi." I replied.

"My name is Jessica." She said, "You are Isabella, right?" She said.

"Bella." I corrected like I did so many times before.

"So do you want to sit with my group at lunch?" She asked.

"Sure," I responded. She looked happy that I said yes. This is going to be…interesting.

When we got out of the rain I was glad. I was sick of it trying to get me wet and cold. It was much warmer in this cafeteria.

I followed Jessica to a group of people sitting at some lunch tables. Most of the people looked surprised that she brought me to sit with them. I did recognize most of them. I didn't remember any of their names, except one. Eric waved to me as I was going to sit down. I shyly waved back.

I started to make conversation with seven curious strangers. After a while I started to get board so my eyes started wander. Most of the people seemed to be gawking at me. So I speedily looked around the cafeteria. After looking around one side I moved my eyes to the other side listening to the conversation around me and replying to some of it.

I started to look around the other side of the cafeteria when I saw a group of secluded people. They were just sitting there looking around. Unlike everyone else they weren't gawking at me, which honestly comforted me. They weren't talking, or eating even thought there was tray of untouched food in front of each of them.

They were all beautiful. They all looks so similar, but so different. There were five of them three boys and two girls.

The first boy was muscular. He looked like he could be a weight lifter. He had dark, curly hair. Another one of the boys was taller, leaner, but still muscular, and honey blond. The last boy was lanky, less bulky, with untidy, bronze-colored hair. They all looked like they could be in college, or even teachers here rather than students.

The girls were opposites. The tall one was statuesque. She had a beautiful figure, the kind you saw on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, the kind that made every girl around her take a hit on her self-esteem just by being in the same room. Her hair was golden, gently waving to the middle of her back. The short girl was pixie-like and extremely thin. Her hair was a deep black, cropped short and messily pointed in every direction.

Although each of them had different qualities. They also had some of the same qualities. All of them had chalky pale skin. All of them had very dark eyes despite the range in hair tones. They also had dark shadows under their eyes. The shadows were purplish and bruise-like. As if they were all suffering from a sleepless night.

I just stared at them. I was glad they didn't look at me. That would be terribly embarrassing.

I started to focus back into the group of people. They were just talking and talking. I decided it was time to talk with Jessica again.

"So Jessica, who are the people in the group of people over there?" I asked. She looked over where I pointed to. A small smile appeared on her lips.

"Those are the Cullens and the Hales." She gossiped.

"Oh," I listened. I went back to stare at them.

"They were all adopted by Dr. Cullen." She continues.

"Really. So are any of them related. They all look related." I questioned.

"Well those two boys are Cullens" She pointed out the boy with dark hair and the other with bronze hair. "Then the girl with the black hair is also a Cullen." She motioned over to the pixie-like girl. "Then the two blonds are the Hales."

"Oh," I said. Then I looked back over to the group of people. "Who is the boy with bronze hair?" I asked. He was really cute, I had to admit.

"That is Edward. He is absolutely gorgeous." She said. Then the bronze haired boy looked over to me. I immediacy diverted my attention and turned tomato red. My face was burning hot.

Trying to distract myself I looked over to the other two boys that were around from me. Then to the girl across from me. I think her name was… Angela. She was really nice. She wasn't loud or obnoxious. She was shy and nice. I gave her an impish grin. She returned the grin.

Then looked back over to the Cullens and Hales. The one with the bronze hair continued to look at me. I blushed a little again.

"Yea," I said replying to her.

"Too bad he doesn't date. I guess all of the girls here aren't pretty enough for him." Jessica said. In a few seconds she started to talk with the group to her right. The tall blonde got up and walked over to the trash can with her empty tray of food. The rest of the group got up and walked outside.

One of the boys that sat around me came up to me. "Hey Bella."

"Hey." I said forgetting his name.

"So what class do you have next?" He asked.

"I have Biology." I said not needing to look at my schedule.

"I do to. Can I walk you to Biology?" He asked. I really wanted to say no. But he was so nice. I decided it wouldn't hurt anything. All he was doing was helping me.

"That sounds good." I said.

"Ok." He replied.

As we were walking he was talking. I would nod and say words to let him continue. Once we got into class I looked around the classroom looking at some familiar faces. Then I saw Edward Cullen. I looked away so it didn't look like I was staring and went over to the teacher.

"Hello I am Isabella Swan." I said introducing myself and handing him the paper he needed to sign. Then he asked me to introduce myself to the class. I did as he instructed, blushing slightly. He told me where I was supposed to sit and handed me the paper back. I went to the seat I was instructed to sit in. I tripped once on a book bag. I blushed tomato red and sat down. I looked over at Edward. He was sitting right next to me. The teacher started to talk so I listened. Only glancing at Edward a 'few' times.

One time I looked over and his eyes were black. His hands were clamped at the edge of the desk. I started to get a little nervous. Something was familiar about it. Although, I had no idea what it was.

Then my mind started to wander. I could make him like me. All I have to do is use my gift. That wouldn't be that hard. Or I could freeze the room with it and talk to him… no no that would be stupid. To expose myself to a stranger. I sighed.

I never really liked many guys, but for some reason. I really liked Edward. What is so special about him? I shook my head. Trying to brush it all off.

No. What should I do? Should I ask him a question? Maybe at the end of class I could start a random conversation. He looked so mad though. He must hate me. What did I do? I sighed. Then the teacher stopped talking. The class started to whisper around me. I looked over to Edward, again. I am going to say hi. Alright let's do this.

"Hey." I said. He just looked at me like I was doing something completely wrong.

"Hi." His musical voice replied quickly. He looked like he wanted to escape. Maybe he wanted to leave. Maybe he didn't like this class. Or what if it is because of me. If I did something wrong… No, that was impossible. I wasn't my fault.

The bell rang telling everyone the class was over. Ok. I am going to say something before he leaves. I looked up, and saw him running out of the class.

It was my fault. Oh god. I didn't do anything, did I? I guess I won't find out today. The same boy from earlier came over to my side. I heard him getting called in class. His name turned out to be Mike.

"Hey Bella." He said. Stepping behind me as I was getting up with my things.

"Hi Mike." I said. Kind of wishing he would go away so I could just think.

"So Bella, what class do you have next?" He asked.

"I have Gym." I said stuffing the paper in my pocket. Then I realized. Oh no… gym. I think I am going to be sick. In Phoenix, it is only required to have two gym classes. I took them my freshman and sophomore year to avoid them for the rest of High School, but no, in Forks you have to take gym every year.

"Are you ok?" Mike asked realizing something was wrong.

"No nothing is wrong. I just realized… I had gym." I said.

"Don't worry you can't be that bad." He said perkily.

"You have obviously never seen me in gym before." I replied saddened.

The whole way to gym we talked. We talked just like we did on the way to Biology. I could see the student parking lot on the way. I saw Edward by his car. I was about to go over to him when something stopped me. The little voice in the back of my head said "No stupid, don't go over there it is dangerous right now." I rarely told that to myself. I took a deep breath and slow exhaled. I decided not to be late to gym – gulp – on the first day. So I continued on with Mike.

When we got to class. It turned out I didn't have to do gym today. Thank you god I cheered. I just had to watch the class. I was watching one time looking at all of the harmless people that were about to get hurt due to me being clumsy. I mentally said sorry to them. They were all much more coordinated than I was.

When the class was over I went out of the gym. I escape Mike and started to walk towards the front office to give the signed slip of paper to Mrs. Cope. Before I had a chance to get half way to the office I heard a guy's voice call me.

"Hey Bella, Do you need a ride home?" He called. I considered it for a moment, and then decided against it. I didn't want him getting the wrong idea.

"No thanks Mike. I have to go give Mrs. Cope this paper." I said showing him the signed paper.

"If you say so, see you tomorrow." He sighed. He wanted me to come with him, and it was obvious he liked me. But, I didn't like him that way. I hope he doesn't become trouble later on in the year.

I got to the front office and Mrs. Cope was sitting at the desk with a boy standing directly in front of her. Looking at the boy I realized who he was. It was Edward! I heard his sweet musical voice say, "Are you should there are no biology classes open."

"I am sure." Mrs. Cope said.

Edward turned around after the door closed then quietly said, "Thank you."

He started to leave. I spoke up while grabbing the end of his shirt. "Edward?" I was surprised that words actually came out. At first it looked like he wasn't going to turn around. Then he looked down at my hand as if he was going to eat it.

"Yes." He asked with a clenched jaw. I gulped.

"Um… Can I ask you something…" I asked, "outside?" I looked up into his eyes. They were black again.

"What do you want?" He asked. His musical voice was still a little hard. I let go of his shirt forgetting I was holding it.

"Wait here, please." I pleaded. I quickly walked quickly to Mrs. Cope. I gave her the signed paper. "All of my teachers signed the paper like you asked."

"Thank you." Mrs. Cope said glancing, but looking at Edward.

I walked back over to Edward. I looked up. "Come on." I said. I couldn't believe that I was being so forward. I started to walk out the door and Edward followed behind me into the down pour of rain. When we got out of the doors Edward looked down at me and asked, "What do you want?" His teeth still clenched.

"Why…um…why do you hate me so much?" I asked not know what to really ask.

"What do you mean?" He asked confused.

"You looked like you were going to die in Biology. Was it my…" I asked stopping in mid sentence.

"Fault?" He finished.

"Yeah," I sighed looking back up. His eyes changed colors now. They were dark yellow topaz. Did I see them wrong? I was a little startled. My eyes got two times larger.

"Yes, but no." He replied as he was walking away.

"Please let me talk," I said trying to grab his shoulder. "Please just do it, or…" I stopped. I was about the threaten him, and just for not letting me talk to him. I was about to start telling him about my gift. No, I am not allowed to do that.

"Or what? You can't make me do anything." He said. His eyes looked amused.

I looked down. I smirked a little. "Yes I could if I wanted to." I threatened.

"No offence, but you are just a clumsy fragile girl. You have no authority over me." He said fighting back. I didn't like the first part it made me mad, but the second part. I could have authority over him if I wanted to. I just don't like the idea of tormenting people.

"I have more…power than you would imagine." I said. Then realizing what I said I froze. I didn't just tell this complete stranger anything, did I? Oh god no. I started to panic. As I was panicking Edward just stood there with disbelieve written all over his beautiful face. "I am sorry." I blurted out.

"Wait. What?" He asked. He got something out of what I said.

"Nothing," I replied too quickly. He already read my face and reactions.

"What is it?" He asked with a beautiful eye brow raised up. I turned around. I would run from this. I don't care if it is raining or not. I started to walk away. I couldn't do this anymore. I can't just talk to him. I will accidentally tell him the truth, or something. He moved over to my side and placed his hand on my shoulder. His hand was freezing even through my clothes. An unnoticeable shiver ran through me. "Wait." He half whispered. "You wanted to talk to me, right?"

"Yes," I replied not looking into his eyes wishing so desperately that I could just leave.

"And, now you want to leave." He stated.

"Yes," I said in defeat.

"What did you want?" He asked.

"Nothing, anymore." I said. This was getting annoying. I just had to leave. "I have to get, um… home. Bye" I said trying to leave again. Curiosity ran through him.

"Alright, see you tomorrow." He said. Oh god no! Tomorrow. I have to sit next to him in Biology. Damn, Damn, Damn. I am going to blow it. He will find out or I will accidentally slip.

I started to walk home. I turned around to look at his face or him leaving before I continued. "Sorry." I whispered. Looking at his face he was extremely puzzled. I continued to walk in the cold rain.

"How could I be so completely stupid?" I whispered to myself. I attempted to kick a rock. I completely missed it and ended up almost falling. I sighed and continued to walk. Then a silver Volvo sped past me. Edward was in the driver's seat and the rest of the people he sat with at lunch with were sitting right next to him. They quickly got out of my range of view.

I surveyed the area I was walking in. I noticed that no one was around. "Good." I said.

Not wanting to walk anymore I decided I didn't have to. So, I used my power and concentration on being in my room. Suddenly all of my surrounding changed and I appeared standing in front of bed.

The whole night my mind wandered to Edward. Homework took longer than it normally would have. I mainly thought about how stupid I was in front of him. How could I almost betray my secret to him when I couldn't even tell my mother? It has been taking me about a year and a half to tell her when it only took him a few minutes for me to accidentally tell him. I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding.

I started to hear a knock on the door. "Yes?" I called. The door creaked open.

"Hey Bells." Charlie said.

"Hey dad, what's up?" I asked.

"I was just checking on you. Are you ok?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I lied.

"Ok, well night." He said leaving. If he looked at my face it would be obvious that I was anything but fine.

I started doing my night routine. I took a relaxing shower. Then I went to lie in my bed. I was still thinking of Edward. "Oh why do you have to stay in my head Edward, and why did I almost tell you? I am such an idiot." I mumbled into my pillow.

I ended up falling to sleep after about thirty minutes pondering over Edward.

I hope you enjoyed chapter 3.

A few people were curious about Bella's Projection power. So I decided I would explain it a little bit.

For Bella to use her power all she has to do is concentrate on how she want something to look or act and she can plant thoughts or ideas. As she is getting older her power is maturing. It gets more powerful and easier for her to control ,with practice. New powers are difficult to handle and if older powers are not mastered then newer ones are sometimes harder to use.

If that doesn't help, please ask and I will try to explain her power better.

Please Review!

Thanks for reading.
