EPOV: (A bit before)
My hands tightened on the steering wheel. My knuckles even whiter from strain. God! Edward, calm down! It's not like Bella's going to be there! My teeth ground together. I didn't want to hear about Her. She was already on my every thought. "Just shut up Alice!" I snapped. Jasper growled protectively and wrapped his arms around Alice. I choked back a sob. Jealousy had spread through me like a wildfire. Jasper and Alice, a perfect couple. Bella and I, broken and gone. Jasper nudged the back of my seat with his foot. I quickly smothered my emotions. We were entering the school premises now. Hey, check if any of the students know we're coming. Emmet was in the BMW with Rose. I scanned the thoughts of the students. One caught my attention.
Izzy Swan. I cringed. So alike, yet so different. She is so hot! Through his eyes I could see that this Izzy had Her brown hair. Yet, she had blond highlights. She had Her eyes too. Yet, they were empty. It was like staring at a clear marble. I sucked in a needless breath. Was She like this now, like this girl? Why was this girl, Izzy, so sad, empty, broken? I have no right. But my curiosity burned. I read her thoughts. Empty, like her eyes. I tried harder. Nothing. I stopped the car abruptly. Alice hissed this time. I started the car. So alike, yet so different I thought again. Memories of Her hurt. It felt like my stone heart was being squeezed. Ha. That shouldn't hurt, right. Well, it does.
They were there to "greet" us or something. We pulled up into the parking slots. They walked towards our car. She was staring at me intently. I looked at her warily. Her "boyfriend" gave her hand a squeeze. Good, we were giving them the right effect. There was an awkward silence. She took a deep breath. I guess she figured we weren't going to say anything. "O.M.G! Edward, Alice, Jasper, Rose, and Emmet! I can't believe we're going to the same school again! It's so nice to see you guys again!" Did we know her? I glanced at Alice. Who is this girl? She thought. Everyone else was wondering the same thing. "Don't you remember me? It's Izzy!" I stared at her oddly. "Izzy?" I repeated.
