Seeing the Masen kid on the floor like that made me feel incredibly bad. I cringed back when he land with a thud on the linoleum, almost as if I was feeling his pain. But this was worse; this was embarrassment.
"Bella!" Alice scolded me in a whisper, glaring at me. Jasper was snickering.
"A nervous reaction!" I shot a glance at Masen, which made me feel exceedingly guilty, and looked back at Alice. Knowing I was more afraid of her, I jumped off my seat and went to help the boy get up.
That's when the smell hit me.
Even though I had never drank from, or even bitten, a human, the monster inside felt like fire in my throat, scorching my skin, letting me know that all I'd have to do is…
Alice growled too low for a human to hear behind me. It snapped me back to reality.
Thinking on my feet, I created a shield around him, just a few millimeters above his skin, and proceeded to help him up.
"Are you all right?" I asked with genuine concern… Where did that come from? I was letting my imagination get the better of me. But, he did look much more gorgeous up close…
"Yeah…" He sounded breathless, but he did it sounding like a songbird. But that was before he looked at me. His green eyes looked into my golden ones, making me lose my concentration and let the shield dissipate around him. The built up scent bounded against my self-control, making demons claw at the insides of my stomach. He smelled simply delicious! Like… coffee and… lemon cake, just out of the oven. Literally melt in you mouth taste…
"You're Bella Cullen." He stated, looking my face over. His bronze hair was messy; a few strands were hanging over his eyes.
"You're Edward Masen." I loved the sound of his name. His blood was probably sweeter than his personality… No! I did not resist human blood for nearly a century to have it be mercilessly torn down by this beautiful… thing. I had no idea what Edward was, but he was way too good-looking to be human. I hastily put the shield back up.
I realized he was still on the floor. I pretended to struggle lifting him, though in truth I could have lifted an entire lunch table crowded with teenagers and not have to make a real effort.
"Thanks." Edward mumbled.
We looked away from each other and I bit my lip, not knowing what to say.
"Um, Bye." He muttered and hurried back to his table. Only when he was a safe distance away, I let go of the shield surrounding him. I sat back down in front of Alice and Jasper, who both looking like they were on the verge of laughing.
"What?" I snapped.
"Somebody has a crush." Jasper sang like a little kid.
"I do not." I got away with this, surprisingly. "Alice, you didn't tell me!"
"Hey," She held her hands up in defense. "I didn't know whether or not you were going to kill him half of the time."
"Wait until Emmett hears about this…" Jasper imagined. I bet his thoughts weren't pretty. Emmett laughing his guts out about me being in love with a human…
"If you do, I'll shield you away from Alice until I forget." I snarled.
"Hey!" Alice pouted.
"You're guilty by association." I snapped.
"Still not fair…" She muttered, half to herself.
The bell rang, signaling the end of lunch. Before Alice or Jasper could crack any more jokes, I went to Biology, hoping for some quiet and time to think.
I was the first one there. Quiet, check. I looked at my watch. It had only been five seconds, so at least three minutes before anybody else got here. Time, check.
All I could think about was Edward's delicious smell and beautiful appearance. If he'd had golden eyes instead of green, he could totally pass off as a vampire, well, except for the smell…
I heard someone walking towards the building. Hurriedly, I created a shield in the doorway so they couldn't push the door in. The door shook momentarily, like somebody was really trying to get in.
"Please! Please! Please let me in! There's mad women after me!" An angel's song, though distressed, drifted through the walls and I let my guard down.
