Chapter 2
BPOV
My alarm woke me the next morning from the dream of the people I didn't know. I looked over at the clock and knew if I was going to make it on time I had to get up and go ahead and start getting dressed. Looking at my dismal closet I made a note to myself to make a trip shopping in the nearest town soon. By the time I was finished dressing and made it down to the kitchen for something to eat it was 7:45 and school started at 8, so I knew I had to hurry up and get going. It was a good thing the school was close to home. I made it just in time to get to the office and grab my schedule and paper to be signed by my teachers from the very friendly receptionist. I believe she said her name was Ms. Cope. Once I was out of the office and in the hall I took a look and noticed I had no advanced classes here, but I did have Biology and PE. The last one was definetly not my favorite class.
Once I was done looking at my schedule I heard the first bell ring and headed off to my first class which just happened to be my favorite English. After walking into the classroom and getting my sylabus from the teacher I noticed I had pretty much already read all of it. Great I thought so much for a fun filled class. I wonder if anything here was going to be able to hold my interest while searching for my answers. Little did I know the answer to that question would be answered sooner then I thought.
The day passed much the same way after that. I went to class handed my paper to the teacher and had them sign it. Then got my sylabus and sat in my seat listening to the lesson's drawn on and on. I met a few kids in my classes. One was a blonde boy who seemed too close to a puppy dog to me. Following me around like he was attached to a leash. His name was Mike or at least that was what he kept telling me. Another was Jessica and she just seemed to be the gossiping attention seeking type. The last girl I met was Angela and she seemed very genuine and nice.
Finally the bell for lunch rolled around and I walked to the lunchroom with Angela. Jessica was following closely behind asking tons of questions. I assumed to try to get some kind of scope on me. "So Bella how many guys did you date while you were in Pheonix?" "Actually I've never dated anyone. There wasn't anyone who caught my attention." "Oh come on do you mean no guy has ever made your head turn?" "Nope none." I definetly didn't want to tell her that I was always afraid to get to close to anyone in case they found out how different I was. Even though I had just found out myself just how different that really was. Trying to stop her questions I turned to Angela and started asking her about her family and what she liked to do for fun. By this time we were already threw the lunch line and were almost to our seats.
After sitting down I glanced up and looked around and that's when I saw something or should I say someone who definetly shouldn't be there. It was the five people from my dream. They were all seated at a table far away from anyone else. I couldn't believe it. Why were these things here with all these children in the building? I know they were the same as in Pheonix but with Amber eyes instead of the red. They had the exact same appearance otherwise. Pale skin, dark circles under their eyes and unnatural beauty were just some of their characteristics that were the same. I knew I'd have to be even more on alert now and keep an eye out to see what they were doing here. Trying to keep an eye on them and find out who they were I turned toward Angela and asked "Who are they?" She must have known who I was talking about because she answered after a quick glance their way. "Oh that's the Cullens. They keep to themselves pretty much. The big guy is Emmett and he is with the blonde who's name is Rosalie. Then the blonde boy is Jasper and he's with the pixie looking girl Alice. Also there's Edward." Which one's the bronze haired guy?" " That would be Edward Cullen" said Jessica. "He's gorgeous, but noone here seems to be good enough for him." " Oh well that's cool." "Seriously you shouldn't even bother." "Believe me I wasn't even thinking about it." I definetly wasn't thinking anything about going after him. More along the lines of how to stay away from him or keep him away from the other defenseless children here.
Glancing back over at their table I noticed the bronze haired boy looking back at me. He really was good looking. No Bella stop thinking things like that. What the hell was wrong with me. I had seen what these things could do and I was determined to stay away from them. Just as I was thinking this it felt like my poor heart squeezed inside my chest. Looking back up I noticed he was still staring at me with this look on his face like he was in shock or just couldn't figure something out. He started to stand up, but the little pixie haired girl I think Angela said her name was Alice pulled him back down. While they were locked in what looked like a heated conversation I decided to get out of there and get some air. I had to figure out what the hell that was in there. I didn't need any destractions while I was trying to find the answers I needed. Just as I thought it that pesky squeezing was back. It was like something was telling me to get my behind back into the cafeteria, but there was no way I was listening to that. Not after what I had seen and been through back home. Resolved with my decision I headed off to my next class which just happened to be Biology.
I made it there early so noone was there yet except for the teacher. I had Mr. Banner sign my slip and he sent me to what he said was the only available seat in the class. I sat down and got my books and paper out. I was just bent over grabbing my pencil when I heard the chair next to me scrape the floor. I sat back up and looked over to my new partner and couldn't hold in my gasp. Crap I thought it was the boy from the lunchroom Edward. He was staring at me again, but thankfully Mike took that exact moment to call my name. "Bella I'm glad your in this class. To bad I already had a partner. I would have loved to get to know you better" he said with what looked like a constipated look on his face. Was he trying to flirt? All of a sudden I could have sworn I heard a growl beside me. I looked over really quickly but Edward didn't seem to be paying me any attention. He was getting his books and paper out. Strange I guess I must be hearing things. Once Mike figured out I wasn't going to encourage him he went back to his seat.
I was just waiting for the class to start when I first heard him speak to me. "Hello I'm Edward Cullen and you're Bella right?" Oh wow his voice was unlike anything I've ever heard before. It was so velvety and smooth. No snap out of it I can't think this way. What has gotten into me and why am I thinking these things. I couldn't figure it out so I turned toward him and said "Yes that's right. How did you know my name?" " I think everyone know's your name already." he said with a huge smile on his face. Oh boy I think I'm going to be in trouble since my heart was trying to beat out of my chest with just a few sentences from him. The only thought going through my head right now was what the hell am I suppose to do now? Would I be able to fight whatever this was and did I even want to. I decided I needed answers and I was going to get them one way or another starting with what these people were. I just had to figure out how. Before I could say anything else class was called to order and I didn't have a chance to ask him anything else the rest of the time.
Once the bell rang I headed to my last class of the day which thankfully was PE. Hey I hated the class, but at least it was last and not first on my schedule. I walked into the dressing room after having the teacher sign my paper and dressed for class. After talkin to the coach I was told I was going to be able to just watch today which was great since it was basketball and I figured I'd end up breaking my leg or someone else's if they had made me play. It was kind of entertaining watching Mike get hit in the head with a ball while he was trying to watch me instead of paying attention. Thankfully the last bell of the day rang and I hurried back the lockerooom to change and head home. Remembering I had to drop the paper off at the office I headed there which didn't take long at all. Once outside I noticed all the Cullen kids outside standing next to a silver Volvo and not only was Edward watching me they all were. Alice had a hand on Edward and looked like she was trying to hold him back. I jumped into my truck without waiting to see what that was about and headed for home. I was hoping maybe a search on the internet would help me out with some of my questions.
