There's not much to say, so on with the chapter!
Me: Why do you not want to let me have the characters?
Steph: Why do you want them?
Me: I asked first.
Steph: I don't care.
Me: You're so difficult!
Ellen POV
It was the beginning of another day in my new life. I woke up and immediately poked my head out of the window. It was rainy, humid and miserable. Perfect!
The Cullens would be at school today!
I quickly got dressed, ate breakfast, and left for school. Uncle Mike wasn't home, so I didn't have to worry about making his breakfast.
I got to school about 30 minutes early, but that was okay. That meant I could listen to my music and read. I pulled out my favorite book, Epic, and started reading. I was about to get to the part where Erik and his friends slayed the dragon when the bell rang.
I went inside and sat next to my new friends, Maddy and Sara.
We were talking about last night's homework when the Edward Cullen walked in.
Oh my God! It's him! I squealed in my mind. Crap! He can read my mind! Not if I have anything to say about it.
I started blocking my mind to my best power. He got this strange look as he sat down next to me. Oh my God! He's sitting next to me! I then went back to blocking my mind by singing Panic! At the Disco music in my head.
"Hello, I'm Edward Masen. It's nice to meet you," he greeted me. Did he just say Masen? He must go by a different name.
I looked back to my friends, whose mouths were open in shock. I guess he doesn't usually do this.
"Hello, Edward, my name is Ellen Stacy. It's nice to meet you," I greeted back. I emphasized the word meet without thinking.
"Listen, I don't know how you know about me, but I'm going to drop it for now," he whispered too low for anyone but me to hear. I guess I would be seeing him again soon.
"I don't know what you're talking about," I lied poorly while avoiding his two golden eyes.
"Yes you do, and you're a terrible liar," he said with a chuckle. Well at least he didn't want to suck my blood yet.
His back instantly stiffened, but loosened up after a few seconds. After making sure he wasn't going to eat me, I turned back to my friends, who were still catching flies.
"What did he say to you?" Sara asked. She must be talking about when he whispered to me.
"He was just filling me in on what we have been doing this year. He was only being polite guys. I don't see why you were staring at us like two crazed fans," I said with a smile. They didn't take that as I had hoped.
"Ellen, that is Edward Masen. His family is the hottest group in the entire school. They don't talk to anyone. Believe me; I've tried," Sara said in what she thought was a whisper. Technically, it worked for humans, but Eddie over there probably heard every word of it.
I looked to see if he had heard me think that. Yep, he had. He glared at me for a second, and then went back to work.
The rest of class went about the same, and soon, it was time to go to Biology. I had this with Maddy, so we walked together.
She sat in her seat, and I went over to mine. I was lucky; my seat was in the back and had no one else beside it. Or that was what I thought.
All of a sudden, an inhumanly beautiful girl came in and sat next to me. She had hair that closely resembled mine, but it fell down to her waist in waves. She turned to me and I saw her golden eyes look over me in a curious manner.
"Hey, I'm Bella Cullen. It's nice to meet you," she said pleasantly with a smile. I smiled back in response. I can't believe I'm sitting with Bella Swan, excuse me, Cullen. This ought to be exciting.
"Hi Bella, I'm Ellen. It's really nice to meet you too," I greeted her warmly. I wonder how mad she would be if I asked her to shield my mind from her husband. Better not to risk it, I suppose.
After studying Mitosis for a while, we were free to chat and converse. Bella and I both pulled out our books and read until the bell rang. We said goodbye, and I walked to my next class with Maddy.
English passed quickly, and I didn't have any of the Cullens in there.
Maddy and I walked to lunch and as soon as I sat with my friends, the cafeteria doors flew open.
In walked eight inhumanly gorgeous people and one russet skinned boy.
I recognized them, all except for one. He wasn't looking at me, but I could tell he was special.
He looked like Edward, but he had a muscle tone and body like Jacob. His laughter rang through the air, and it was the most gorgeous laugh I had ever heard. I needed to know who this guy was.
"Those are the Cullen's kids," Allie told me. She must have seen me staring.
I was about to get the Cullen introduction, just like Bella had.
"The big one with the black hair, he's Jacob Black. The one sitting next to him is Renesmee Masen. She is Edward Masen's twin. She is also Jacob's girlfriend," Allie said with a wishful tone.
Sitting next to Edward is Bella Cullen. She is Alice Cullen's older sister, but only by a year. She's Edward's girlfriend too. Next to Alice is Jasper Hale. They are together, too. Across the table you have Rosalie Hale, Jasper's twin. She is with Emmett Cullen, who is Bella's twin," she continued. She still hadn't mentioned the one I was most curious about, but I'm sure she would soon.
"Allie, you left someone out. Also, you have Zephyr Black. He is Jacob's cousin. He is also the only one that's not with someone. Don't get your hopes up, though: he doesn't date. No one here is good enough for him," Sara said with a tinge of repressed anger. I didn't fail to notice she quoted her mother's exact words from thirty years ago.
Zephyr turned his head when he heard his name. His black eyes connected with mine, and I could feel the electricity in the air. I couldn't tell if he felt it too, but his eyes stayed connected with mine for several more minutes as if he was having some sort of mind block. I blushed fervently, and turned away.
I looked back to see my friends staring at me. The guys with disgust and the girls with jealousy except for Maddy. She looked a little angry that Jake looked jealous though.
"Guys, you're scaring me," I said as I looked at them warily. The guys went back to normal, and the girls got over their jealousy and started squealing.
"Oh my gosh, Ellen! Zephyr is still staring at you!" Maddy exclaimed happily. She must be content with Jake.
"Is he?" I asked coolly, "I didn't notice."
"Wow, Ellen. You sure can be clueless. But that makes you even hotter," Masen said. Allie slapped him and got up. Oh no! Poor Allie! I started to get up and go after her, but Masen grabbed my arm. Everyone else pretended not to notice and started talking again.
"Masen, you really hurt Allie! You should go after her," I told him. Masen was nice and all, but Allie really liked him.
"I don't care. I really like you, Ellen. You're smart, funny, and beautiful. Please give me a chance," he pleaded and made me look him in his blue eyes. I looked back to Zephyr, and he had an angry expression. If looks could kill, Masen would be six feet under.
What was I supposed to do?
Sorry for leaving it hanging, but I wasn't sure if Zephyr should have to have competition. Give me some input and tell me what you want.
