La Tua Cantante

Chapter Four

(Edward's POV)

I stifled a yawn as I sat through the boring lecture the teacher was giving. He was reviewing for a test coming up and the subject was just as dull as it had been the first time.

"Have you seen the new girl?" A female voice whispered behind me, gossiping with her friend. Intrigued, I swiveled in my chair lightly so I could listen in better without getting caught.

"No, not yet. Jessica has, though. Apparently she's beautiful, but even more of a recluse then the Cullens." The other girl whispered back and I saw her look at me out of the corner of my eye.

They continued talking in hushed voices, but I eventually turned them out to mull over my own thoughts. I had to admit that I was interesting in this new girl, Isabella Swan. School had only started a couple hours ago, but tales of the withdrawn beauty flew from mouths in every corner. I couldn't wait to see her for myself.

The first few hours passed slowly and finally it was lunch time. I was starving. Alice had rushed me out the door this morning, wanting to get to school early for some unknown reason. Only god knows why she couldn't have just taken her own car. Anyway, I had only gotten a couple bites out of my toast and my stomach wasn't too happy about that. My siblings and myself met outside of the cafeteria before going to stand in line to get food, like we always did. I grimaced at the school lunch. I couldn't even tell what it was.

As we sat at our table eating our lunches we all conversed and joking, each of us poking fun at the other. After a while I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and I felt like I was being watched. Looking around the room my eyes landed on an unfamiliar face, one that was looking right back at me.

I gasped quietly: no one had been lying when they had said that Isabella Swan was beautiful. I had thought they were over exaggerating, but I knew now that their words paled in comparison. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever laid eyes on.

I continued watched, slightly disappointed when she ducked her head and hid behind her hair. She must've been embarrassed for getting caught staring at me. I smirked lightly. She only looked at me once more, but when she saw I was still looking she looked away and never looked back.

"Aw, does Edward have a crush on the new girl?" Emmett's loud voice broke me out of my thoughts. I scowled.

"No, Emmett. I'm just," I paused, looking for the right word to let them know I was interested, but would still keep them off my case, "intrigued, I guess. Everyone has been talking about her all over school"

"Yeah, I know. It's kind of annoying. She's not even pretty." Rosalie responded, flipping back her hair. I rolled my eyes, knowing that she was just jealous that no one had been talking about her beauty that day. She was so vain, I couldn't see what Emmett saw in her.

"I think she is. I also have a feeling that Isabella and I are going to end up best friends someday." Alice declared, proudly. She turned to Jasper. "What do you think?"

"I'm sure you two will end up great friends." He said, agreeing with her. Just then the bell rang and the entire cafeteria was getting up to get to their classes. I groaned. Biology was next.

"I'll see you guys after school, okay?" I said, waving to them before heading off to class. When I got to class only a few people were already there. I sighed, sitting at my desk in the back where I sat alone. As I waited for class to begin my thoughts wandered to the beautiful new girl.

It was a couple minutes later the door opened and the object of my thoughts walked in the door. How lucky was I? The most beautiful girl in the entire school was in my class and even better, the only seat free was next to me. I watched her walk in until suddenly she froze, a look of horror on her face. Confused, I watched as she unconsciously took a step back, looking like she was about to run. Mr. Banner saw her first, however, and went through the motions before sending her to the seat next to me.

As she walked toward me I smiled, but the smile was quickly wiped off my face as she glared at me before sitting down and putting her hair as a curtain between us. Her hands were clenched and her body rigid as she sat next to me, not moving. Was she even breathing?

I didn't understand. Why did she hate me? Had I done something wrong? Was she mad at me for staring at her during lunch? A million questions flew through my head the entire hour of class. When the bell rang I stood up and turned to her, fully intending to apologize for whatever I had done wrong, but she was already gone. I barely managed to watch her walk out the door. She must've hated me a lot if she was able to get away that quickly. Gathering up my books I almost ran out the door, hoping to catch her, but one I made it outside the classroom she was no where to be seen.

I'm sorry it's been such a long time and I'm sorry it's short. I'm not that great at doing guy's POV. I hope you liked it.
