Edward's pov
Thoughts about new girl were swirling in my head. I can't listen to her thoughts. Did she really say it out in her mind? Or was it just a wishful thinking? Or like Emmett said am I really going mad with all this listening to thoughts crap? The girl looked normal. Of course she was pale, too pale for the one who lived in Phoenix.
Whatever it was, I was determined to find out the truth. I made my way to biology. I entered the class; Mr. Banner was already standing preparing for the lecture. I went to my seat. I saw a girl, Bella, sitting beside my chair. Her long brown hair was covering her face.
As soon as I settled in my chair beside her, she turned. She was surprised to see me but she quickly masked it. She quickly turned away and her hair covered her face like curtains.
She peeked through her hair at me and then quickly looked down.' How weird a girl can be?' I thought.
Only a few minutes with this girl and I am already irritated. I looked at her. I tried reading her mind. Nothing, just a silence. Like she doesn't think about anything. Her scent was normal like humans. Freesia and strawberry. Her heartbeat was normal. Everything about her seemed normal. Then what I heard was really a mistake? Maybe I m over reacting over things.
I didn't pay attention to anything in the class. I already had studied this many times, so it doesn't matter. She again looked up at me. I could see my reflection in her eyes. My eyes were pitch black from anger and frustration. I didn't realize but I was glaring down at her. She flinched.
The bell rang making her jump. She ran past me in a hurry, possibly trying to get away from me.
All other lectures passed in a blur. My mind was full of the new girl and her weird behaviour.
I stood beside my Volvo with Alice and she was asking me about my sudden change of feelings in cafeteria. Jasper told her how fast my emotions were changing at the end of the lunch. From anger anxious to determination. I told her that was nothing. But she wouldn't budge. She told me that she will find it out somehow.
From the corner of my eyes, I could see Bella going to her truck. I wanted to talk to her about the biology and my rude behaviour, but before I could make it she drove away.
At home, I couldn't stop thinking about Bella. Not just about her ability but her in general. I know I am not making any sense. Whenever I close my eyes, I see her big chocolates brown ones, her long brown curtains of hair, her heart shaped face, with a hint of blush and .. Stop Edward. What are you doing? You have to think about her, about her power, not her looks.
I went to hall and started playing my piano. After few hours, I went to sofa and sat down to watch whatever sports were going on. I don't know what argument was going on between Emmett and jasper. But both went flying out from window and started wrestling. Those to always act like kids.
I was watching a movie, when suddenly I heard Emmett coming towards me. He wanted to pick me up and throw me out. I waited for Emmett hand to reach me. Before he could come close to me, I jumped from the sofa and punched him. He went flying through window again.
He managed to land on his feet and came charging towards me. We all started fighting.
After few hours we went back inside and made my way to my room. I freshened up and picked up my iPod. Night time was the most boring time of vampire existence. Only for the vampires without mates. But those with mates have nightly experience a way different from others.
For few hours I listened to music. Then I ended up in Carlisle's office, reading books. I was at the end of third book when sunrays entered through the glass pane of the window and danced upon my skin. My skin was sparkling like tiny diamonds. I kept the book at his place and went to my room.
I changed my clothes and went down. I kissed esme's cheek and went to garage. My siblings had already left. I sped through the empty roads.
I parked my car beside rose's red ones. Alice and jasper were waiting for me.
They came to stand beside me.
Alice was discussing about weekend's hunting trip, when I heard Bella's truck parking at her usual place. I turned to her and she was looking at me. Her big chocolate brown eyes were deep. She was beautiful. She quickly turned away and went inside. I stood there watching her.
Lectures passed by. I never paid attention to any of it. Whatever I thought, I ended up thinking about the girl with chocolate brown eyes. During lunch, I was staring at her. My siblings were watching me intently. But to my surprise they didn't say anything. Even Emmett was silent.
I was waiting for biology. I made up mind to talk to her. As soon as, bell rang I hurried out of my seat, dumped my tray and made my way to biology. I heard Emmett's laughter but I didn't pay attention.
I sat at my usual seat and waited for Bella. I saw excited?! Why? I don't know.
She came in sat beside me. I smiled at her. She looked surprised.' Of course, she would be surprised you idiot, you were literally glaring at her yesterday', my inner monster said.
I turned toward her and said,"hi! I am Edward Cullen and you must be Bella swan, right?"
She looked stunned; she didn't say anything, just nodded.
"I am sorry I didn't introduce myself the other day", I continued.
"No, it's ok "
"How do you like forks? I mean you are from phoenix so it's different from there right." I tried to make a conversation.
"Yeah, it is. But I like rain so it's nice here", she said. I wanted to continue talking in an attempt to listen to her musical voice but Mr. Banner started the lecture. Musical? Get your head together Edward and concentrate.
I was trying my best to ignore the urge to look at her, at her brown eyes. Suddenly, mike's "M rated" thoughts about Bella hit me at full force. I just wanted to smash his head for even thinking about my Bella. My Bella? What's wrong with me?
As soon as bell rang, I literally flew out of my seat. I didn't want to wait and hear those stupid thoughts of mike because I wasn't sure how much I can handle his perv thoughts.
I avoided Bella like a plague for the rest of the day. As soon as school was over I ran to my meadow in order to get some peace and get my head together.
My meadow, I found it when I first came here. I was out running and found this place. It is a beautiful some area. I always come here to think. It feels peaceful. I lay down in between the flowers, thinking about my bella. Her beautiful face and brown eyes.
I don't know how much time passed. So I just got up to take a run.
When I came back I smelled a very different scent. I never smelled it. It was a mix of strawberry and freesia. It wasn't a human scent, Closer to it but not exactly human. It wasn't even a vampire scent.
I stepped closer and heard a heartbeat. But not a human one, slower, much like a humming birds'.
I stepped at the edge and saw a girl standing in the middle of the meadow. She turned around. And the girl was none other than my Bella.
"What are you doing here?" I asked in a neutral and a perfect stoic face.
"Why should I answer you? It's not like you own the place or anything!" she snapped.
"No, it's just that it's not safe for you at the middle forest", I replied. Whatever creature she is. Forest is no safe place.
"Not safe. You are also here, so it hardly makes this place safe for you. Anyways I was just hiking", she replied back.
I was shocked by her answer. No human can find this place by just hiking. It is exactly in the middle and hard to find.
"You should probably go home, it's getting dark", I said.
She was just about to move when I called her.
"What is it Edward?" I asked him. I took a chance if she ll come out with reality. So I asked, "Are you ok?" referring to her different scent and heartbeat.
"Yeah, I am fine. Why?" she answered.
She is not stupid Edward. If she wanted to come out with truth, why would she hide in first place?
"No, it's just I was concerned", I replied just closing the topic.
"Ok, then see you tomorrow good bye", she said and walked out in a human pace.
I need to discuss with this Carlisle. So I ran out at my full speed towards my home.
As soon as I reached the door, I called for Carlisle and others. Within seconds, everyone joined me in the living room.
"What is it, Edward? ", Carlisle asked.
"I need to talk to you about a girl ", I replied.
"Eddie boy wants to talk about girl. About time you grow up", Emmett snickered.
"Don't call me Eddie", I snapped. I looked at Carlisle and said," she is different and weird and she is from forks high. I couldn't read her mind".
Carlisle just ruled it out.
"No Carlisle, really there is something about her that is off", I said.
I could see Carlisle was confused. In fact everyone was.
"She is a human, Edward", Rosalie snapped
"Just because you can read her mind doesn't mean-"
"Rose, enough", Carlisle interrupted "Edward, son, continue".
"Carlisle, today I saw her in a meadow ", I said.
"So-", Rose interrupted. I glared at her.
I continued, "I saw her in a meadow. The meadow is in a middle of forest, no human can find it so easily."
"Edward, that doesn't mean she is not human", Jasper said calmly.
"Will you guys shut up and let me continue without any interruption!" I growled.
They were literally getting on my nerves.
"as I was saying", I continued," Her scent in the meadow was different".
"She doesn't smell like humans".
Everyone was shocked.
"What do you mean Edward? She smelled like a normal human in school, you sat beside her in biology", Alice said.
"Yeah I know Alice. But that's not it", I said.
"Her heartbeat, it's not like humans".
Everyone gasped.
"Its slower like humming bird", I continued.
"Wow! Edward, you are observing Bella quite a lot huh!" Emmett said laughing.
Alice suddenly said, "Wait! Guys I think someone is out there!"
She ran out at full speed to survey the area. She came back looking confused. Jasper came behind her and wrapped his hands around her waist hugging her close.
"Its okay, sweetheart. Maybe it was just a branch", jasper said.
"No I really thought someone was out there", she said.
"Are you sure about her?" Carlisle asked me.
Before I could reply, Emmett said, "I think that all mind reading thing is finally getting to Edward".
I glared at him.
"we will talk about this tomorrow, you guys watch her tomorrow at school', Carlisle said and went up to his room.
I ran out into forest, not wanting to hear any crap from Emmett and rose.
I sat on the rock holding my head with both of my hands and trying to figure out, when I heard Alice and jasper coming towards me.
I raised my head to look at them.
"We wanted to talk about Bella", Alice said.
"Okay, say", I said.
"We believe in you ", Alice replied.
"Why?"
"Because I think she is different", she replied. When I didn't say anything, she continued,"i couldn't see her coming to the forks, not even after the announcement was done".
"Okay?" I said trying to figure this new information out.
"Not only that, I couldn't see your future when she us with you. I mean, I didn't see you in biology lecture. I could see you in meadow. But then you disappeared after you came to meadow again after your run", Alice said.
"Though her emotions were normal except for the time when we entered cafeteria, I was suddenly hit by a strong wave of surprise from her. Like she knew about us, also, little fear", jasper said.
I processed all this information.
"I have a plan", I said to them.
We went to house after discussing the plan.
We did go to school early but were hiding in the tree lines.
We saw Bella enter and she looked for us.
I looked towards jasper.
'Surprised, sad and worried', he replied in his mind. I nodded to him.
During break time I saw her in the cafeteria. Time for the plan. I went to her and I tapped on her shoulder. Now, she smelled like a normal human, even her heartbeat was normal. Was I just imagining yesterday? No, that's not possible. At least, not after my discussion with jasper and Alice.
She turned around and looked at me with questioning eyes.
"Can we talk for a minute?" I asked.
She just nodded and followed me outside.
Author's note: I know, I know I m too late. I m really sorry. I couldn't figure out how to put up with Edward, you know how complicated he is. And my other story was receiving fewer reviews then expected so I was working on that. I hope I didn't disappoint you with Edward's pov.
Now I have two questions:
Whose pov you want for next chapter?
Should Edward figure it out or should Bella tell him?
That's it. Thank you guys.
Love – Isa...!
