Chapter 10: Emmett's POV

'She's so quiet.'

'She looks nothing like her sister.'

'Are they sisters?'

'Bella is way bette-'

My fist landed hard on the table, startling some people who had just walked through the cafeteria door.

"Okay Edward that's enough, you don't have to continue."

Edward looked confused but didn't continue on with Jessica Stanley's train of thoughts. He shouldn't have looked so confused, he was basically bad talking my mate. Edwards head popped back up so quick that if he were human he'd have given himself whiplash.

"Your mate, Emmett? She's your mate?"

'Why? You have a problem with her being my mate?' I thought back defensively.

"Of course not, Em. Just surprised is all," he said bringing his hands up in a surrendering gesture.

Forcing me posture into a more relaxed position I turned my gaze back towards the girl; my mate Lillian.

She had her dark brown eyes trained on her phone, smiling occasionally at what she saw. She was beautiful in an unusual way. She didn't really pop out of the crowd, blending in and slipping past with no worries. It was when she was sitting or just standing still was when you really saw her.

She had an intense look all the time that stopped people from going up to her, kind of like Rose's; except while Rose's was mean, hers was just blank. Lillian was tall, curvy, and an obvious loner. By choice or not was something I'd have to ask her later.

Loud laughter brought me out of my daydreams, and I'm happy it did. Lillian looked even more perfect when laughing.

I sound like a lovesick loser.

"Yes you do, please stop." I didn't even look over at Edward, just stuck up the bird at him.

Lillian's eyes were wide and staring at my family's table. She had an expression that screamed awkward and it was absolutely adorable.

A muffled groan came from across the table, but a quick kick at his leg shut Edward right up.

Not too long after looking at her phone again she glanced at our table again, and her eyes locked with mine.

Holy shit.

My heart freaking stopped.

Well it would've if it hadn't stopped a long time ago.

The bell ringing broke our eye contact and as I watched her pick up her books and make a quick retreat out the cafeteria I knew my life would be changed for the better.

Edward slapped the back of my head as he passed chuckling lowly.

Keep laughing all you want, at least I'll talk to my girl.

That got him to stop quickly.

-E&L-

Mike Newton was going to die.

And his arm was going to be the first thing to go.

Edward wasn't paying attention, staring at Bella was very distracting apparently, so I couldn't know what was going on unless I listened in.

"- can sit with us. Plus, you're new. Everyone knows your name."

A silence followed his statement. Then in the meekest voice I've ever heard she spoke out.

"Hi."

I could feel my lips start to smile. She was adorable.

Mike tried to introduce her to everyone but no one seemed to recognize her into he mentioned Bella. Looking over I could see her shoulders slump slightly.

Lauren made snide remark about not having a social life, which made me laugh. Mainly because the only social life Lauren has was gained from quickeys in janitor closets.

Lillian went back to her book and ignored the rest of the table, Cameron nudged me which was the signal to stop being a creeper and soon we were laughing as we shook our snow filled heads at the girls. It didn't hold my attention for long though, because soon I was right back to watching Lillian read. Which wasn't weird by the way, she just looked really focused and I find that kind of hot.

Maybe that is a bit weird on my part.

Edward pretended to fake gag but stopped when Bella looked over at him, taking his attention once again.

Lillian is looking again, hell yes. Maybe if I smile she'll smile back at me.

She still had an intense look on her face, the one where her eyebrows scrunch together, and I couldn't help but to smile at that.

I can't keep using the word adorable to describe her, it'll get old.

She looked a little curious, probably wondering why thus weird stranger was staring at her, so I thought to hell with it and winked at her too.

Instead of smiling back like I wanted her to, she looked like she'd seen a ghost instead. The bell rang and she went flying out her seat towards the door.

She looked back at me one last time and I could see the determination on her eyes. The only problem was I didn't know what she was determined to do.

-E&L-

She wouldn't even look at me the next day.

-E&L-

The day after that she didn't even go to lunch. Cameron came in and took one look at me before walking out. I couldn't help that my feelings were hurt because my mate doesn't want anything to do with me. I tried talking to Edward and Jasper about it, but they said that they couldn't get a good read on her mind unless directly looking for it. It was like a difficult maze or something.

Not going to lie, I was proud that my mate could block them without even trying.

A little later of sulking, Rose's words not mine, Lillian walked through the door. She walked over to HER sister's and Edward's table and sat down. Bella introduced the two.

"Nice to meet you. My sister talks about you all the time."

A snort left my mouth. Only her, and going from the looks of it she didn't even mean to embarrass her sister.

"That can't be good for your head Bella. Come up for some air, that table probably doesn't like your advances. It's classy, unlike some people I know."

She's gonna be trouble, I know it. She's not even trying right now.

Cameron came back in and sat down beside Rose and kissed her cheek before pulling out his phone. A few seconds later Edward's laugh drew our attention that way again.

"My brother was just complimenting Lillian's conversation skills. He said, and I'm qouting here, 'Tell the black haired monster that you're sitting with that I'll get a real answer from her tomorrow.'"

After looking at Cameron suspiciously, to which he just shrugged, I looked back to Lillian. Who looked completely innocent.

"What are they talking about Bells? When did you talk to one of Edwards brothers?"

Raising one eyebrow I turned back to my family. "Doesn't Bella have brown hair?" They all chuckled and listened to what would be said next.

"Lillian May Swan Jordan if you even think about leaving this table without giving me a proper explanation for your behavior I'll take your favorite books and laptop away for an entire week!"

A soft gasp left Lillian's lips, which set Cameron off into a loud laugh. I couldn't hold back my laugh if I tried. Her punishment would be no books or laptop. That nerd.

Lillian didn't even try to plead her case, while her sister was verbally lashing Edward she was sneaking away. Cameron quickly pulled her to our table and sat her down. When she turned around the blood drained or her face.

Jasper immediately held his breath, but I took a deep breath. The sweet smell of pomegranates hit my nose, but while Bella's scent made my throat burn, Lillian's soothed it. Weird, but like I said she's unique. And looking right at me.

She turned her attention to Cameron when she saw me looking back at her.

"Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in." Screw Cameron, he already had his turn to talk to her today.

Her head tilted to the side a bit while she looked at him for a second. "Did you just compare yourself to a cat?"

Cameron faulted for a second and I heard Rose snort quietly. It must have given him courage to carry on, he was always trying to look cool in front of her.

"What can I say? Graceful, beautiful, always lands on all fours? I can see how you would have come to that conclusion."

Lillian smiled a bit before chasing it off her face, but you could see it in her eyes. "I was thinking more along the lines of annoying and pompous."

She gives as good as she gets, nice to know.

Cameron brought his hands up to his heart in mock agony. "You wound me Lillian! I thought we were friends!"

The smile in her eyes died out and was replaced with a blank look. "No. I'm not friends with tattle tale traitors. You must have me confused with another Lillian."

"Nope. Pretty sure it was you. After we had our little chat I declared you my best friend. 'The Black Haired Monster' is my nickname for you," Cameron said.

She rolled her eyes a bit before turning to Rose. "You're boyfriend is a dick."

Rose looked a bit shocked before smirking in a way that I know is never good. "I know he has a nice d-,"

Lillian's eyes widened a bit before hurriedly turning to Alice, which cut Rose off.

"You're Alice, right?"

Alice was too busy laughing at Rose's shocked expression to answer, and Jasper had a rather intimidating expression on his face, something he always has when he's deep thinking.

She slowly turned towards me and I couldn't keep quiet any longer.

"My names Emmett, if you're wondering." I saw her shiver slightly which could've been from the cold, but I hope it was for another reason. She didn't look close to answering so I continued. "Lillian right? Wait, don't answer that. It was a dumb question. Everyone knows you and your sister. How are you liking the school? Have any hard classes? Like the town? The temperature never really changes here. Rainy all day everyday..."

Oh God. I'm rambling. I never do that. How do I stop? Thankfully she stopped me before I could make myself look more stupid.

"Yes my name is Lillian but don't call me that, anything but that. It makes me sound like an old lady. Yes, the school is okay and I love my classes. The weather is amazing and I like the rain, so overall it's been an okay time here."

I must have looked dumb now, but I couldn't help it. She actually talked to me, and answered all my stupid questions. She had a nice voice too, even better up close.

"That's good. Awesome." Nice Emmett. Way to keep the conversation going.

The bell rang before I could say anything else, and she left with one last smile.

-E&L-

I honestly wasn't stalking her. I was on the way to sit in the jeep and wait for the others when I saw her sitting at the picnic table. The opportunity was too good to pass up.

She had a look that I've come to think of was habit for her.

"Did you know that when you think it looks like you're silently arguing with someone in your head?"

"You must watch me a lot then, because all I do is think." She said with a polite smile. I didn't like those smiles, it looked too fake for my taste. I smiled back at her before waiting for her to get comfortable. She drew flowers on a notebook sheet for a bit. It gave me a good chance to watch her hands. They were very elegant, she had long fingers. It made me wonder if she's ever played any instruments.

When I saw her shoulders relax I drew her backpack, that I was going to leave at Bella's truck, from behind my back. "You left this at lunch."

She glanced up and looked at her bag for a moment. "Why are you being so nice to me?" She honestly looked so confused.

"What do you mean?" Why wouldn't I be nice to her? She was an amazing, and funny, girl.

She began to dig through her bag. "This nice charade. Is it because you want a way to talk to my sister? I hate to tell you, but I think your brother called dibs first."

It hurt that she'd think I'd only talk to her because of her sister, but I tried to look at things from her point of view. She was probably going through this all the time.

"Because I think you're interesting." It would be better to just be bluntly honest from now on. I think she'd like that better than just beating around the bush.

"You don't know me," she replied defiantly.

"Not for the lack of trying." Her eyebrows raised slightly at my statement, and I had to fight down the groan wanting to leave my throat. It was really hot visual.

"When did staring at someone become a way of communication?"

"So you have noticed me." I couldn't help but smile at this piece of information. I thought she was still dead set on ignoring me.

"I'm sure there are so many people at this school- you don't have to know me." Wrong. I want to know her more than I know myself.

"But I want to," I shot back defiantly.

She took a deep breath and looked at me. "Look, I get it. I really do. The new girl who doesn't talk to no one. Her sister, who is just as smart as she is pretty, is interesting so she must be, right? Wrong, I'm not. I get good grades. I'm mediocre at cards, and my head is always in a book. I like privacy and my space. I like being left alone. That's it. You can get to know everyone else at this school who starves for your attention. I'm not. Sorry."

I felt a smile grow on my face, she had no idea.

"And stop looking at me like I entertain you. I'm not amused," she said before looking down at her notebook.

Snatching the notebook I quickly wrote down my number and a small note.

I hope you know that I'm not going to let this go. Text me.
-Emmett

I didn't turn back to see her expression although I really wanted to. My siblings were waiting at the jeep, and they were looking at me with curiosity but I ignored them and climbed into my jeep smiling.

I was whistling when I walked into the house. After kissing Esme on the cheek I ran up to my room and flopped down on my bed. My phone vibrated in my pocket; pulling it out I could see a message notification.

There went my dead beating heart again.

To:Emmett

I hope you know that this changes nothing.

From: XXX-XXX-XXXX

A quick laugh escaped my lips. After saving her number in my phone I got out of bed and got ready to hunt. The smile never left my face.

A/N: I really liked writing this POV! It was fun writing Emmett's reactions. Did you like it? Was it too much? Should I do more? Do you want me to catch up this POV to the other? Favorite and review to let me know what you think.
