Chapter 3
Edward
I stared sullenly at the front of the building I would be seeing every week day for the next three or four years. Leaning against my car, I crossed my arms in front of my chest. My family was chatting cheerfully a little away from me, ignoring my sullen mood. They made quite a show of it too. I didn't need an example to know how to act happy, thank you very much. I was just too tired to pretend to at least look a bit more than depressed.
Like in any other school, the students were chatting happily with friends they hadn't seen in a while, catching up on the last gossip, or talking fashion or cars. It was so predictable and utterly boring that I wanted to shout. They were staring at us and discreet seemed to be absent from their vocabulary. Unfortunately for me, their thoughts were not better and I felt my peace and quiet of the last days evaporate in front of my eyes. I didn't even have refuge in my own head and it was driving me crazy.
I felt a wave of comfort coming from Jasper and I closed my eyes. I let the feeling flow through me. I opened them again when I heard a girl make her way to me. Great. Just Perfect. I must have the worst luck ever. Some deity must be laughing her beautiful face off up there.
She was blond with blue eyes and a skirt that was should have been called underwear for how long it was. She flicked her hair when she noticed me looking and smiled brightly. She waved a little and it made her shirt ride up a bit and I had to stop myself from flinching. Why did she bother dressing at all? How vulgar.
"Hey! I'm Lisa! You're new aren't you? I could show you around the school if you want! We could even go to my house after school and study with me!"
I looked at her and saw the way she looked at me, eyelashes lowered a little, what she must think was a sexy smile plastered across her face and too much make-up.
'Come on I know how much you want to jump me right now, just say yes. All the men are the same, so predictable, at least you look like a good lay. I rock!'
I was so disgusted it wasn't even funny. I just wanted to be alone and I just knew that she would follow me like a leach if I didn't find something to shut her off. I shouldn't have to do it. She was supposed to keep her distance unconsciously. I was a predator after all. She must have no self-preservation what-so-ever.
"I'm gay" I said as an answer. I could hear a quiet snicker coming from Emmet.
She looked dumbfounded. Her shock was quickly followed by disgust then open hostility. I had refused her and she was going to make my life a living hell. Well, she could try. But I honestly doubted she could make it worse than it already was. She opened her mouth to say something then closed it and I could nearly see the famous light bulb lighting up in her head.
'He's only trying to get rid of me. I bet he isn't even gay! How dare him! I'll show him! '
She eyed me suspiciously then humphed, "You're sick!" she sneered. And with that she was gone. Drama Queen.
Emmet was openly laughing by now and Rosalie had a delicate hand in front of her mouth. Jasper was smiling, even if it looked a bit constipated, the poor man still had difficulties around human. Way to go man, I heard Emmet think. The only one that seemed not amused was Alice but she was looking across the parking lot, a frown on her cute features. I followed her eyes and saw him. Damn. Did he ever let go?
He was sitting on his motorbike, helmet beneath one arm, messenger bag in the other. Air ruffled his already unruly hair and I could suddenly smell the heavenly smell of my haven: the forest. The rich overpowering smell of deep forests, forests that rare humans ever get to see. I closed my eyes and could see the tall trees surrounding me, hear the gentle ruffling of the leaves as a light breeze passed through them, and all the little noises left by animals in their home. It was intoxicating and for the first time since Bella, I could feel myself relax, if only a little.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and opened my eyes to see the puzzled face of Jasper. Are you okay?
I smiled. Jasper's usually pained expression showed surprise. 'Edward?' he called. And I came crashing back to hard reality. My beautiful stalker was watching me warily from afar. Beatiful? When had I started to think of him that way? I turned my head and eyes away from him and heard Alice snicker. 'Is he the one that is responsible for your shirt's demise?'
Why, my sister did have a very peculiar sense of humour. I didn't think it was funny. I loved that shirt. 'Oh Edwaaaard?' she sang 'Are you pouting?' I turned my eyes to her and glared. I was not.
'But you are right now' she laughed.
'I am most certainly not!' I conveyed to her by glaring harder.
'Aw. I love it when you…' she stopped mid-sentence and I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder.

Harry
I turned my head and proceeded to watch him warily from the corner of my eyes. I watched as the undoubtedly popular school girl made her way to him and hoping he would never find out about me watching him every night at where I now refered to as our secret place. I doubted anyone ever went there except us, even if he didn't know that I came to watch him every night. I turned and made my way to the first building. I nearly did a double take when I heard him say three words that had my attention back on him in an instant. "I am gay." he had said. Oh my.
Superior hearing could really suck sometimes. But this was priceless. I had said the exact same thing to the exact same girl yesterday at the shopping mall. I wondered if it was true in his case. It wasn't in mine. I was not gay. But I was bisexual. And no, it was not the same.
I looked at him and saw the girl I had named The Pixie staring at me. Oups. Busted. My alarms went off and I went into autopilot immediately. I turned my head away and in an instant I was back on my motorbike, ready to go. Stupid fucking reflexes. I took off my helmet again and felt a stare on me. I looked for the culprit only to have his beautiful golden eyes on me. It was the first time I really saw them and I was struck by the sorrow they contained. I could feel his pain, his loss, and the struggle to not let it be seen, not let anyone in. Realising just who I was staring at and in broad day light this time, I eyed him warily and felt a gust of wind flow between us. He closed the windows to his soul and I could swear some of his tension suddenly melted away.
Without any conscious thoughts, I made my way to him. I could feel an urge to comfort him, to help him that nearly blew away everything except the need to go there and touch him. Before I had really registered what was happening, I was across the parking lot with a hand on his shoulder. Shit. Something was really wrong with me.
I saw the shocked expression on his sister's face as she saw me and I felt him visibly tense under my hand. He turned around and I received a full blast of his glare. Strangely enough I thought it was cute more than threatening. I blamed that on Voldemort, after his glare, no other glare could be scary. Well, except perhaps Molly's. I smiled.
I could nearly hear the sigh in his head as his glare disappeared and he asked tiredly:
"Yes?"
What the hell was I supposed to do now?!
"I just wanted to make sure you were alright. That girl bothered me yesterday too. I'm Harry by the way."
He eyed me from foot to head and I realised my hand was still on his shoulder. He hadn't pushed it away. Apparently his sister had realised it too because she was looking at it like it was from another planet. Just what was their problem? What were they? Cold for one thing. I could feel very little warmth coming from his shirt. What creature was usually cold with golden eyes? And sexy as hell? Where had that thought come from?! But I had to admit his family looked like models taken out of a movie featuring the perfect and beautiful family. It was a little bit spooky.
"I'm Edward, it is nice to meet you."
I could nearly hear the "finally" just before the "meet you". Was it just my imagination? Could he know? If he did he must have superior hearing too. Was he the one that had come to my place? It wasn't possible was it? Siri had just laughed in my face when I had asked him the question. Cold with golden eyes and superior hearing possibly superior vision and a way of speaking that reminded me of an old person… Oh no! I was a magnet for trouble! He was a …
"Vampire" I said aloud without being able to stop myself.
I saw him tense then relax and look at me like I had two heads.
"I beg your pardon?" he said, perfectly imitating a human shocked expression.
"I'm sorry; I didn't want to scare you. I won't say anything. I promise."
I had all his clan's attention now and the three others joined us. I was now surrounded by five bloody vampire looking at me and asking themselves weather I should live or not. I really had to learn how to keep my mouth close and to think before I acted. One would have thought after all this time I would have gotten a hold on it but no, it was only getting worse. Again, I was so dead.
