Aidzuki's POV
'Oh man! What am I supposed to say. Their staring at me. I know it I can feel eyes bore into me. Crap I should really pay attention when I think' thoughts like those have been rolling around in my head for the past two minutes.
I slowly come out of my head to see Bella's friends looking at me strangely. I feel a cold shiver travel up my spine as I smile awkwardly. Its all I can do seeing as i'm frozen to this spot.
I feel as though the ground should swallow me whole. With a start i feel a strange presence in my head completely forgetting my thoughts and confused i try to push it out but it just pushes right back. My eyebrows furrow as I shove it hard successfully pushing it out and before it comes back I protect my mind by putting up a wall. I feel it return but unable to get in. Good. As this happens I miss the slight frown on Edwards face. What the hell was that? Is someone trying to get in my head? Why? Before I could spiral back into my thoughts a shaking hand is on my shoulder.
"Hey zuki *snort* are *chuckle* you OK?" I turn and glare at Jacob when he bursts out laughing again. How dare he!
I grab his ear and yank him towards me causing a yelp more of surprise then pain escape him. "Anata wa nani o waratte iru nodesu ka, ōbaka!, dōshite anata wa gakkō ni imasen ka?!" I yell yanking his ear and crushing it between my fingers.
"Ah shit, let me go! Let me go!" Jacob says through gritted teeth. I yank his ear once more before letting go. Jacob growls and rubs his ear while glaring at the ground. Serves him right. I turn back and smile at the strange group. I take a few steps in...Marcus?. Eh. Marcus's direction and bow.
"Gomen'nasai. I sincerely apologize for what I said uh?-" I pause not wanting to say his name wrong. I sort through my brain trying to remember. Seriously it shouldn't be this hard!
Just as I was about to blow a blood vessel I see a pale hand in front of my face as I'd been staring at the ground in concentration. "Edward. Edward Cullen" he says in an smooth, melodic voice. I smile and take the hand noticing with a start how cold he was. I shiver and pull my hand away.
"Edward. Oh yeah I knew it was something ancient!" I say and immediately slap my hands over my mouth With wide eyes. I start apologizing profusely at once. Me and my big mouth! I look up at his face and see a small smirk as he watches me flail my arms and try to explain myself.
"Its ok It is a pretty old name though. It dates back years." He says in that low voice. I give a sigh of relieve as I relax. I laugh nervously and blush "yeah it is." Dammit "a-anyways my names Aidzuki. Shimizu Aidzuki." I say wanting to forget what just happened. The pixie steps. More like leaps. Infront of me and holds out her hand and smiles.
" hello my names Alice Cullen. And this" she grabs the blonde guys arm and points at out her family as she introduces them" is my boyfriend jasper hale, thats Rosalie hale and her boyfriend Emmet Cullen. Its nice to meet you Aidzuki we're gonna be the best of friends." she says very energetically with hopeful eyes. I raise an eyebrow at her. Why is she so perky. I shuffle on my feet a bit awkwardly. "Uh. Sure why not" I say after a while giving a half smile to the small pale beauty in front of me. She squeals and hugs me and I tense. She starts talking a mile a minute and gesturing wildly. All I caught was something bout a shopping trip before her boyfriend pulls her back towards himself and shoots an apologetic look my way. I just shrug it off. I hear a bell ring and jump. What? it came outta nowhere!
I look around and see people start to rush inside the building so I get my stuff togather. I was about to walk away with a patiently waiting Bella who's still with her boyfriend and alice though the others left. I see a sulking Jacob still there with a glare on his face.
"Seriously Jake leave and go to your school already!" I say a little aggravated by him. He grunts and says " I'm not going to school today. Billy said he needs me for something. I will however be leaving now." I shrug and turn around walking to the school as I hear Jacob whine about an apology as he gets in his car. hm as if. Big baby!
I talk with Bella and Alice. Edward seemingly not the talkative type. We head into school together and part ways. Me going to the front office and them their first class of the day. I walk up to the receptionist and retrieve my schedule and exit. I examine it and it makes zero since to me. I'm walking down the hall trying to figure out what calculus is when I bump into someone. I stumble back and drop my schedule while trying to regain balance. I hear an umph across from me as the person falls to the floor.
"Hay watch it yo-" the female voice stops halfway through her sentence. I look down to see a brunette on the ground looking up at me with slightly wide eyes. She is suddenly on her feet and smiling in my face as if she wasn't about to curse me.
"Why hello there. You must be the new student. My names Jessica Stanley." She says eyeing me up and down. I take a step back she having been to close for comfort. Holding my hand out I introduce myself "Aidzuki shimizu." I say a half smile put in place.
"Oh! You must be from somewhere else. Here let me" she says taking my schedule and looking it over for a while. " cool we share the same lunch. We could talk more there but right now we should head to class. we're going the same way so I'll show you the way." Who said I wanted to talk to her. She grabs my wrist and tugs me along and starts walking quickly. She makes random turns all the while talking up a storm about things I don't even know about. Who the heck is taylor swift? By the time the petite girl leads me to my first period I am contemplating running away from said girl. She talks non stop and interrupts me whenever I'm giving an input. Who cares who might have written on the bathroom walls!. thank the gods we're here. I say a quick goodbye and go into the classroom. I'm introduced to the class and then assigned a seat. And my first day officially starts.
-lunch time-
I walk into the lunch room only to have the whole place go quiet and multiple eyes land on me. Shrinking in on myself I make my to the lunch line. Not making eye contact with any of them I grab a tray and look for a place to sit. I start having a mini Crisis when I couldn't find a seat. Oh gods help me. As if I was heard I hear my name being called and look up to see that chatty girl from earlier. No! Why her kami? why?! I relax though and sigh when I spot a shy smiling Bella I hurriedly make my way over and sit across from Bella but next to Jessica when she pulls down beside her. It couldn't be that bad if Bella was here. Oh boy how wrong I was.
" so where you from? How old are you? Are you single? I'm single to you know we'd make a cute couple, don't you agree?" she continues as I look across to Bella for help she only shrugs and smiles sheepishly at me.
"Hello zuk did you hear me? You're not listening are you? Thats rude you should listen when people talk to you." I looked annoyed at her at the nickname. Zuk, no thank you.
" well I'm from Japan and-" before I finish talking the curly haired chatter box is at it again.
"Oh really, what's it like? How'd you learn English? Do you know karate? Omg! This is awesome." she keeps going but I block her out again nodding once in a while so bit seems I'm listening. I look over again to see bella focused on something else entirely. I narrow my eyes and fallow her line of sight to see her boyfriend staring very intensely back at her. O...Kay?. That's weird and creepy. I look between the two for a while until an ticked off Jessica took notice that her new 'friend' was no longer listening but calmed down when she saw the reason for the distraction.
"That's Bella's boyfriend Edward Cullen. Psssh he was interested in no one until SHE came along. Actually thought he was gay for a while" she said sounding jealous. I saw Edwards gaze travel to Jessica after the comment she made. He was frowning. Did he hear that?! How the hell? it's noisy in here and the cullens table is on the other side of the lunchroom!
Something is weird about them. I couldn't place it though. I know for a fact they couldn't be human. I walked past Emmet in the hallway and it was silent. Thats the weird part about it the hall was almost completely empty except a group of three. Were I could hear hushed whispers and giggles. And most important. Beating hearts. Yet when I walked past Emmet there was nothing! Not one thump! Though he smiled and winked when he saw me staring. I blushed and waved at having been caught. My thoughts not escaping me. Their like walking corpse. Cold to the touch. But super hearing? What are they? Are they dangerous? Is Bella in danger? I have a feeling I'd be finding out soon. Though it doesn't dampen my curiosity.
before I could think on those thoughts any longer the presence from earlier was again trying to push in my mind. And this. since i've met them this thing wouldn't leave me the hell alone. I shove it out for the fourth time that day making my walls stronger this time. Then I hear something truly strange. At the Cullen's table I hear a gasp followed by an "I can't read his mind it pushes me out then blocks me before I can try again" the voice was low but I now it undoubtedly belongs to one Edward Cullen. Read my mind! It was him. what the FUCK!. Hmmm interesting. The presence is still there yet not trying anything. Leave dammit!
"he's getting angry" a confused low deep slightly country voice I'm unfamiliar with says. Hell yeah I'm mad. who the hell do they think they are. Or what. They seem like trouble to me. And assholes.
"Aidzuki are you okay you've been staring at your food for ten minutes as if it stepped on your foot and didn't apologize." I hear Bella's voice and look up at her my face blank. Does she know what they are? I could ask? But then again I know nothing about the situation. She doesn't look like she's in danger. And she isn't scared of them hell she's dating one of them. Ā jigoku!
I nearly fall from my chair when a loud bang assaults my ears. I look to the source and see a Bella with narrowed eyes looking at me."earth to aidzuki. What the hell do you keep getting lost in thought about I've been tryin' to get your attention for the past three minutes. What do you keep thinking about anyway?" She says obviously kinda mad at me.
"Nothing important bells" I say averting my eyes to the Cullen table where I was shocked to see them all staring back at me. Ok Creepy. I look away and ignore them when more people sit at the table. I'm introduced to them and they ask questions and I answer as best as I could. They kept talking over eachother and they talked pretty fast. Like jessica. Who I decided I didn't like, I just wanted school to be over with already. Bella was right these people are deprived of excitement so much so that finding out who sneezed and farted in the girls bathroom is one of the fascinating things that's happening. It started Two Weeks Ago! I hate it here.
-after school-
I wait outside for Jacob to come get me. I can't wait to leave this place the cullens are freaking me out. Since lunch they've been watching me closely. If I'm in the hallway with one of them they stare until I'm no longer in sight. I shiver when I remember what happened in the bathroom.
#(flash back)
I was at the sink washing my hands and thinking deeply about my homework it was all very confusing. What the hell was calculus? Who made it? I fell asleep listening to the teacher explain it. School is a weird place. Especially here in forks.
I come out of my musings when I heard a shuffling sound behind me then i looked up into the mirror to see jasper hale staring daggers at me. Surprised I spin around and look at him head on wide eyed and heart beating rapidly. And he just stares at me. Creep! When did he enter the bathroom. He started fidgeting after a while though a little awkwardly. "Is there a reason your standing and staring at me?" I ask my voice quivering. He averts his eyes but then he's back to looking at me a second later. "Yes. I'd like to use the sink please" he says calmly. To calm if you ask me nevertheless I blush and move away from the sink and to the door neither of us breaking eye contact until the door closed.
(Flash back end)#
After that I ran back to class and avoided a cullen or hale left and right. as soon as I smelled them I went the other way. The same when I heard their distinct suductive and melodic voices. Of coarse I had to suck it up a couple times when they spotted me I pretended like I didn't notice most of the time. The whole day I felt like I was being hunted. Wow interesting first day huh?
I feel a tap on my shoulder and look over to see...Ā, tengoku no tame ni!. You've gotta be kidding me. Where do they come from! I think as I give a flat look at alice. said pixie smiles but says nothing at first. After she's finished...doing whatever, she speaks. "Aidzuki I was wondering if you'd like to come over my house with Bella sometime. We'd like to get to know you! Any friend of bella is a friend of mine." then she frowns looking back at her siblings as if she heard something. I file that away for later. Then she turns back to me a frown still in place "I can't speak for all of them though" she says eyes narrowing. I hear a "damn straight Im not being friends with that weird guy." Across the parking lot But i dont react in anyway. Bitch.
I consider Alice's offer for a moment. Should I go? maybe I can find something out and crack the mystery surrounding these people. So with that in mind i smile and accept the invitation, "sure. That's cool" she claps and then hugs me letting go and running back to her family nodding. They look at me then climb into the cars and drive off.
Hearing my name being called I search out the familiar voice relieved. Finally I sight Jacob looking over the roof of his car at me a cute smile in place. With butterflies in my stomach I speed walk to his car and hop in. Sighing, I let my head fall back against the seat and start to scrub my hands over my face.
"So how was your first day zuki. Have fun?" Jake says a smile on his face. I stare at the gorgeous smile before comprehending that I was asked a question.
"Oh! Yah it was OK other than calculus. And... The cullens. You were right there's something up with them. They kept following me and staring like creeps. Then Alice invited me to her house with Bella. Don't you find that weird?." I ask him. He gives me a quick glance then nods "I told you but you thought I was obsessed with them cause of Edward and with him cause of Bella." He breaths and lifts up an eyebrow "are you planing on going?" He asks. "Yup!" I answer popping the 'p'.
"OK but if you end up their next victim. Do not say I didnt warn you" he smirks.
I look at him "OK they are not killers Jake. At least I think. Beside Bella is alive. Maybe their just weird." I dont know who I'm trying to convince by saying that. But it seems to only make Jacob more uneasy at the mention of bella.
I put a hand on his arm and he relaxes a bit. I enjoy the sudden tingles that travel through my body as warmth settles in my chest. I watch him relax completely a smile gracing his lips again as he looks over at me. He always wonders how I do that. And honestly I don't know. Maybe cause we knew one another so long.
"Either way I'm gonna find out what's going on. you know me it'll drive me crazy otherwise. They are just so strange" I say looking forward again him doing the same. I take my hand away and we drive home quietly after that.
The Cullen's are strange indeed.
