Sunday had passed by quickly. I was too preoccupied with thoughts of going to a new school to even think about Dr. Cullen.
I knew I was going to hate Forks High School. Not only was it a new school, it was a small new school. Very small. Only three hundred and fifty-seven, now fifty-eight, students attended it. This made my chances of blending in even less. I knew it was going to be hard to fit in, but this made it even worse. Even in Phoenix I didn't fit in.
Monday morning came too soon. I quickly went through my morning routine and hopped into my truck. Forks High was nothing like my old school. No metal detectors. No barbed wire. Where was the feeling of intuition? The school was simply a collection of maroon colored buildings. I would have passed right by it if I hadn't seen the sign that clearly stated Forks High School.
There weren't many cars in the parking lot when I arrived at school, so I took an extra couple of minutes to prepare myself for what I was about to do. I slowly got out of my car and headed to the building labeled Main Office.

Monday could not come soon enough. My family and I needed to be at school to keep an eye on the new student, Isabella Swan.
Carlisle had come home Saturday looking very flustered. His thoughts were no help at all. There were a thousand things running through his head.
"Dad! What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Yet. Don't worry Alice. I just need to speak to Edward really quickly."
I was in front of him before he could even ask her where I was.
"What happened? Did something happen at the hospital?"
"Let's go up to my office Edward."
I could easily read the worry behind his calm exterior. When we got to his office, he sat down and signaled for me to sit down too. This was going to be a long talk.
"Edward, I wanted to speak with you first because I don't want to worry the rest of the family without a just cause."
"What's wrong Dad?"
"I need you to keep tabs on someone's mind for me."
"Who?"
"Chief Swan's daughter, Isabella Swan."
"Why? Is there something wrong with her?"
"I think she might know something about our kind."
"What? How?"
"I don't know Edward. But if you find out anything please let me know first."
"I will Dad. Don't worry."
I quickly left Carlisle's office. Isabella Swan. She might know our secret. But how is that possible? She just moved here and none of us, except Carlisle, has met her. This was odd.
So here I was waiting impatiently for my family to get ready so we could get to school. Of course Alice already knew why I was impatient, but the rest of them didn't. Carlisle didn't want to worry them unless we knew for sure that she knew something.
When the finally came downstairs, we headed out to the garage. I got into the driver's side of my silver Volvo. I hated being the passenger in a car, so I always drove. We got to school in less then five minutes. Vampires loved to drive fast, so we were never late going anywhere.
I pulled up next to a red truck. I'd never seen it before, so it must be the new student's car. I was heading towards my first class when I saw her. Isabella Swan. She was coming out of the main office. I quickly focused in on her thoughts, but I couldn't hear anything. Her mind was blank. A wall I couldn't pass. Maybe I couldn't hear her thoughts because I hadn't heard her voice yet. Yeah. That had to be it.
I looked up to see that she was staring directly at me. Her face didn't look like that of other girls', full of lust and desire. Instead, her face showed pure shock and panic. I could see the terror in her eyes.
She must know something about our kind.
I know you're going to be confused bout the whole mind reading thing...but don't worry...it'll all be explained soon enough. Have patience...oh i juss love torturing you guyz...
