Love at first Bite

It was lunch time and the noise in my head was louder than usual ,it was always like that on the first day of school with all the excitement of a new year at the forefront of everyone's mind. After grabbing a tray of food I would never touch I joined Alice and Jasper at our usual table in the back and decided to search the students minds to make sure no one was thinking anything out of the ordinary about us.

When I reached out it was no surprise what I found because it was always the same, no matter what school we were attending or what city we were in, it was always the same. The females were fantasizing about Jasper and I, in compromising positions with them or one another. I winced. That was definitely something that had changed through the years, girls didn't think like that in my time. With each generation sex for the most part became less intimate between a man and woman, people were more open about it. Woman deserved to be courted, worshipped, their virtue should be respected until they found the man that was worthy of such an honor to become their husband before they both gave themselves fully to each other. With every passing year I had to live through every new sex revelation through peoples minds, and there was nothing worse than the mind of a teenage boy.

What did peak my interest though was the growing interest in a new girl at school. I had been picking up on bits and pieces about her all day from their thoughts, through that I learned her name was Bella, the male population was especially taken with her and the girls were jealous and wanted to be her friend to join in on the attention that was being bestowed upon her. I had even picked up on a few random thoughts wondering if she was some how related to us, that was odd, I couldn't quite understand that observation but brushed it off as nothing. Through their minds I had yet to get a clear picture of her so curiosity had the best of me. I wanted to see what was so special about this girl that had captured so much attention and had thankfully deterred it from us even if it was for only a day or two until the newness wore off.

Mike Newton's mindless ramblings broke through my reverie. "Where is she? She seemed interested when I asked her to sit with us at lunch. God she's hot! I couldn't even concentrate on what she was saying when all I could see were her luscious lips, god how am I supposed to sit with her and watch her eat with those beautiful full lips and not act like an idiot, especially when all I can think of is what better use I could put those lips to……."

"Edward what's wrong?" I hadn't realized that I had frozen and was wearing a disgusted grimace on my face. "Is Jessica Stanely contemplating on how to ask you out for the hundredth time?" Alice snickered.

"No." I said between clenched teeth, "Newton's having vile thoughts about the new girl."

With that, a wicked smile spread across Alice's face and she automatically started mentally humming the National Anthem.

"ALICE!" I didn't think my teeth could clench any harder. "What are you hid………. "

I didn't get to finish my sentence because simultaneously three things happened at once.

Mike's thoughts echoed in my head, "Oh god there she is!" At the same time the rest of the student body also directed their thoughts towards her, but that wasn't why I had stopped mid sentence, or why my body went instantly rigid, and why every hair on the back of my neck now stood at attention. It was the strong smell of Freesias that bombarded my senses so hard that without realizing it my head fell back and my eyes momentarily took on a life of their own and drifted closed. It was laced with lavender and a hint of strawberry's, it was unnaturally sweet and intoxicating, and it was vampire. I spun in my seat to lock eyes with another pair of panic stricken topaz eyes staring back in our direction from the other side of the cafeteria.

Today had been mentally taxing to say the least. My original plan of going unnoticed had failed miserably, being the center of attention was not something I was accustomed to nor was anything I ever had to worry about before. Not even four months ago I was a junior in high school and I was human and fitting in was something I never thought twice about because I just didn't. I wasn't a leper or anything I had a few acquaintances not really anyone I could call a friend, I just kind of stayed to myself. It wasn't a very exciting life until he came into my life anyhow but it was mine and I missed it.

Especially today when all eyes were on me and I could hear every last whisper that was spoken about me. The girls were catty and were only nice when they spoke directly to me and the boys were a completely different story. They way they looked at me and the things they snickered about to each other behind my back were sometimes repulsive and definitely uncomfortable, if I could still blush which was definitely my human trademark I would be redder than red. I never had a boyfriend or any boys interest until he came along so this wasn't something I ever had to worry about and I don't think it's something I was going to get used to anytime soon.

One boy in particular, Mike Newton, was especially clingy. I had two classes with him already this morning and he made it a point to sit by me in each one, I thought being like this was supposed to ward off people, trigger something in them that told them to stay away, but I thought back to 3rd period Health Class where Mike insisted I sit with him at lunch, I was almost positive he was about to ask me out this weekend when Angela Weber, who I would now be eternally grateful to interrupted. She also sits with Mike at lunch so for that sole reason I agreed because after a day of hell Angela was a breath of fresh air, she was genuine, and if I was still human I could see myself being friends with her.

That wasn't going to happen though because I had to stick to my plan, keep everyone at a safe distance, get through the school year in one piece -well everyone else in one piece, I inwardly laughed at my sick joke- graduate, and move away to college and not look back. This way I could have some sort of closure on the life I had once lived and move on to my new one that involved just me and figuring out how I would spend the rest of forever, the idea was depressing and left a heaviness in my chest but it was necessary and I just had to figure it out as I went.

I was closing up my locker and heading to lunch when I smelled something faint in the air, I couldn't quite place it. It was an odd scent mixed in with humans, stale cafeteria food, and whatever product they had just mopped the floors with last night. As I neared the double doors the scent grew and then flooded me as I opened them, I took a few more steps into the crowded room and then froze. I frantically searched the room with my eyes and finally landed on a table at the back of the room with three pairs of topaz eyes starring right back at me. My feet were planted to the linoleum floor and my body felt heavy and rigid. The two male vampires were starring at me with a somewhat confused expression on their faces and the little female was smiling at me and she was practically bouncing up and down in her seat with excitement if I had to guess, but that couldn't be right. I wasn't sure what to do, my mind was swimming, I had only been around one other vampire before and that was when I was still human. My first instinct was to suppress the growl that was bubbling deep down inside me trying to find its way out and flee but before I could put that potential plan into action Mike was at my side putting his hand on the small of my back and leading me blindly towards his table. When Mike's hand made contact with my skin I could swear I heard the one male vampire with the copper hair growl so I came to and followed Mike, I figured that they wouldn't hurt me in front of a room full of unknowing humans and this plan gave me time to think up my next move.

The minutes drug on and I wasn't paying any attention to the idle chit chat going on at the table but I nodded my head yes or no when someone asked me an unheard question and remembered to smile and shift every now and then so I wouldn't look like a total freak but I wasn't really there I was inside my head desperately trying to figure out what to do next which was really hard to do when I could still feel them staring at me. I was so attuned to my own mental freak out that I didn't notice the presence of one of them right next to me until it was too late.

A melodic female voice broke through my haze." Hi everyone!" "Sorry but I need to steal Bella away for a moment I hope you don't mind."

"I didn't realize you were friends with Alice." Mike said a little too possessively for my liking but at the moment that didn't seem very important.

"Oh Bella and my family go way back." Alice answered for me.

"Please just go with this, she pleaded in a hushed tone so that no one else could hear it, I promise we won't hurt you, we would just like to talk to you for a moment."

Immediately my mind went in the worst direction, why should I believe her, their probably just trying to get me away from prying eyes to rip me to shreds and burn the pieces!

"Don't be silly!" She answered my unspoken thought. "Haven't you noticed my eyes, we're like you, don't be scared."

I realized if our private conversation lasted any longer people would start to wonder so I stood up, excused myself from the people I had only known for a day and followed Alice across the cafeteria wondering if I was about to disappear from their lives as abruptly as I appeared.
