New Student at Forks High School
Ella POV
I helped Sophia hit the books all through Saturday and Sunday and we don't even have any tests today. I swear that girl can drive me crazy with her unnecessary anxiety. She's really intelligent, too, but she stresses herself out so badly that she goes into a near panic attack each time a new test is announced.
I walked into my history class there was some new guy – that's rare – in my seat. He had deathly pale skin, a shock of black hair in casual disarray, was extremely tall, but I didn't catch his eye. That's good, I don't need anymore fans.
It's no big deal if he's in my seat I can just move further back to a desk in back of class. I sat in the desk behind him and stared at the black board as my history teacher – not much different than my others – droned on and on about things I was well aware of. The lectures were pointless when I didn't need the teacher or the text book to ace my tests.
Finally the excruciatingly boring class was over after the bell rang. There was no Sophia to talk to so I was forced to listen to the monotone of this history teacher who wasn't of anything more of average intellect just like all my other teacher.
I walked out of class and went to put my history book in my locker and take out my English book. This is the most infuriating part of my schedule Sophia and I have all our classes together except history and English, the classes are reversed. And the most annoying little rich boy was leaning against the locker next to mine – Matt Newton. "Did you think about it? It was quite an offer." He said full of himself. I sighed not wanting to deal with him today and maybe after what I tell him he'll finally leave me alone. "Matt to be blunt, I don't like you. I never have and you're just a pretentious jerk that I didn't have to think about twice before actually turning you down. I just enjoyed watching you squirm, so just leave me alone already." I slammed my locker shut and the bell rang within seconds I walked into English.
Hmm, Wuthering Heights. That is one of my favorite books; I think I've read it well over one hundred times. It's just goes to show that love doesn't end with death; it's just a new beginning.
Although, I love this book my English teacher lectured about it making it sound as dull as his voice. He lectured on far longer than one should. He was monotonous and put half the class to sleep. I ground my teeth as he explained the premise of Wuthering Heights horribly, I think the words 'took place a long, long time ago' comes to mind what were we kindergarteners at story time.
The bell rang and I was released from this torture.
Sophia met me outside of the classroom. "Do you know there's a new guy here at Forks High?" She asked. I nodded, "He's in my history class. I only noticed because he took my seat and didn't look at me like I'm a piece of meat." She smiled, "Well all the girls in my history class were squealing over him." I could only imagine what they were saying, 'he's so hot', another would say, 'I hope he's single', and Sophia would look at them thinking they're total airheads because they seriously are.
Stephen Harris POV (the new kid)
I sat in history as I saw a gorgeous girl walk into the room. I took in her appearance she had tight ripped – at the knees – jeans, black t-shirt, and huge -oversized for her small frame – black hoodie on. She has long dark brown hair that had a tinge to it that looked like bronze, pale skin, brown eyes framed by long black lashes which were emphasized by the massive amount of eyeliner she has on.
I didn't gawk at her like the other males in the class, but of course I had a longer time to practice my self-control. If I were a human I'm sure I would be staring at this goddess. Then she walked down my aisle and paused a moment at my desk, but then moved on to the seat behind me. As she walked past her scent filled my nostrils and my self-control that I have worked so hard to prefect was forgotten. Her scent brought out the monster in me, her blood was the sweetest I've ever smelled and the monster within me wanted to take her right here and now.
I resisted as best I could holding my breath the remainder of the class, but even the memory of the scent was beginning to drive me insane. As soon as the bell rang I was out the door at a speed that was a little too fast for a human.
