I walked with Edward to the busy canteen. As we walked through the scratched dark green doors, I watched as people noticed how different I looked. They all stared. We sat on the Cullen Table. Angela was whispering to Jessica, probably about our conversation by the library. I got up and took a sandwich, slapping it on a plate. I stomped back to Edward and he put his arm around me.

"They're talking about me, aren't they?" I asked Edward.

"Yes, but they think you look gorgeous." he whispered.

I picked up my sandwich and sniffed it. YUCK. I wanted to try it anyway. I took off a small piece and popped it in my mouth.

"Eurgh!" I cursed as I spat it back out.

Edward chuckled.

"You aren't human anymore, remember?"

I could see people staring at me.

"Yes. I know. But I just wanted to try."

Emmett guffawed, his laugh echoing around the dinner hall.

I felt someone tap my shoulder. I span round. It was Mike. I heard Edward let out a low growl from deep in his chest that only I could hear. I put my hand on his knee.

"Uh… hi Bella."

Mike twisted his fingers.

"Hi. What do you want?" I asked.

"Er, I just wanted to see if Angela was telling the truth about your eyes."

Angela had told them. Now I would have everyone swarming round me to see if my eyes were really red. I was going to buy brown contacts tonight.

"Yes. I wanted red contacts."

"Oh. That's cool. Um… bye." Mike walked off.

There were five minutes until the bell. Now I could see Jessica coming up to me.

"Hi Bella. Aren't you going to eat anything?"

"No, I'm not hungry thanks."

"Are you ill? Angela told me you looked really pale."

"Yeah, I'm not feeling great."

"Ok. Hope you feel better soon. Bye"

She sauntered off and out the door.

"Great lying Bella." murmured Edward.

"Yeah, sure."

We got up and left for our next lesson.
