Chapter 5

"Personality"

"Why were you so mean yesterday?" she asked softly, "You don't even know me." she stated in a small voice. I felt the shame flow over me in waves. I didn't mean to make her this way.

"I'm sorry," I rushed out, she looked up at me slowly, "I was in a really bad mood yesterday, and it didn't help that my brother, Emmett, was aggravating me." I said comfortingly with a small chuckle.

Bella sighed, "So you don't hate me?" she asked softly, straightening her back slightly.

I shook my head quickly, "No, Bella, I don't hate you. How could I? like you said, 'I don't know you'" I quoted softly.

It amazed me how humans could jump to such conclusions. I listened in on her thoughts to see what she thought, "Okay, he was just having a bad day. I wonder what his brother did that made him that murderous." she thought in wonder.

I smiled, "I love my family, but Emmett can be a little much sometimes," I said with a shrug and a smile. I made a mistake doing that smile though, I showed her all of my teeth. She should be revolted.

Before I could close my mouth I caught her thoughts, "That smile just makes him more handsome." she thought admiringly.

That left me dumbstruck. She liked my smile. I didn't scare her away, she is a really interesting creature. And the more I looked at her the more I saw the beauty of her face and of the small smile on her lips.

I mentally shook myself out of that frame of mind. I could not and would not fall in love with a human. I cannot explain why I feel protective of her but I don't love her.

I frowned at my thoughts but was shaken out of my reverie by Bella's voice, "Edward, are you ok?" she asked, her smile dipping slightly, "Did I say something wrong?" she asked mentally.

I shook my head, "I'm fine," I said softly, "I've got to go. I'll see you later, Bella." I said quickly. I dipped my head and turned on my heel to go to my first class.

I had my first class with Alice and Jasper and, to be honest, I dreaded it because I knew Jasper would be judging me the whole class. I sighed as I walked through the threshold of my Math AP class. I heard Jasper's thoughts across the room, "You shouldn't be talking to that girl, Edward," he thought. I could practically hear the snarl in that thought. I growled only low enough so he could hear, "You don't control me, Jasper. She won't tell anyone." I sighed as I sank in to my seat.

I heard Alice's comforting thoughts beside me, she decided to teach Jasper a lesson today, "Don't listen to him, Edward. He will benefit from this too." My brows furrowed at that and I pictured asking her, "Why?" She giggled quietly, "That is for me to know and for you to figure out on your own." I snarled at my favorite sister because she began blocking her thoughts from me.

I crossed my arms and thought about her thoughts for the rest of the morning. How could Jasper benefit from Bella? I asked myself confusedly.

When lunch finally arrived all my thoughts of my family flew out of my mind when I heard that "voice" I had come so accustomed to over the day I had known her. Bella.

"What if he went back to how he was yesterday? I really don't want to feel that hatred again. Okay, if he glares at lunch then I'll skip Biology." she was making deals with herself. That made me chuckled a little bit to myself. I won't glare at her because I want to talk to her in class.

I have discovered that she had a very timid personality and she was tough on the inside but didn't know how to express it. And she was a people pleaser.

When she looked at my families table I gave her a small smile and she returned it timidly. "Okay, I'll go since he is in a good mood." she thought, more relaxed than before.

I smiled and promised myself that I would talk to her in class.
