Escape to Reality

Chapter 2

I was almost sure that Edward would disappear when I got back, that it would have been only my imagination… but when I opened the classroom door he was right there sitting at my table, motionless, looking at the board, probably pretending to pay attention.

I started to tremble, calm down, for God's sake! I sat and couldn't help staring at him. Edward, if you can hear me, move your hand. He didn't move. So he couldn't hear my thoughts. He must be distracted, thinking about something or hearing someone, otherwise he should have noticed the absence of my thoughts.

When the class was over I went to find out if the rest of his family was also at the school. My theory was proved correct when I found Alice on the second floor surrounded by a group of first semesters, all mesmerized by her beauty. I found Jasper at the principal's office making some arrangements about his schedule. Emmet was talking to some fifth semesters about football and Rosalie was charming every guy walking on the third floor. I assumed Carlisle and Esme would be at their home, playing the role of father and mother of all the vampires.

Every Cullen member was here existing in the real world, but Bella was missing; it seemed that she didn't get the chance to exist here.

Now, what would I do about this? What could I do about this? I was sitting outside the cafeteria alone, Joel and the others still got one more class, but I was done for the day, except I had hip-hop classes at 3.30, and it was only 12.30 right now; I had a lot of free time. I glanced at the cafeteria and saw Edward sitting in the farthest table and all the girls staring at him, dazzled, whispering and surely trying to find a way to start a conversation with him. Edward just sat alone, listening to music (or pretending) and avoiding making eye contact with anyone.

I hated that all the girls were trying to talk to him; didn't they see that he wanted to be alone? Unnoticed even?

I needed water, so I entered the cafeteria and went straight to buy one from the soda machine, I made sure I ignored Edward, I wouldn't be just another of the girls that fancied him and chocked him with their presence.



I sat back on the table outside the cafeteria and spent the rest of the hour reading Lord of the Rings while listening to the soundtrack of the movie. I was submerged on my book when suddenly Tania and the others arrived when their class was over and sat with me to eat.

"Alex, look at that new boy! He's even more gorgeous than Tobi!" Tania said talking about Edward of course. "I have to talk to him!, come with me!"

"No! Tania, I don't think it's a good idea, I'm pretty sure he wants to be alone right now." I replied before she could drag me along with her.

"What are you talking about? We have to meet him!" Tania complained.

"No, not now, look at all those girls practically killing themselves to meet him, I'm sure the last thing that he needs is more girls to meet. I'm telling you, he wants to be alone, don't press him." I explained.

"Fine, Adri will come with me. C'mon Adri!" she replied stubbornly running and dragging poor Adri with her.

Edward's point of view

I was sitting on the cafeteria of my new high school, trying to concentrate on the music rather than the many thoughts and whispers of the girls around me. I groaned at the thought of having to pass through this again; the girls fantasying about me, all of them thinking they had a shot with me. But they were all wrong, even if I found any of them interesting it was impossible, we weren't even from the same species. I am a vampire, they're humans; it can't happen. But Alice assured me that it was going to take only a month for things to go back to normal. For the people to realize that the Cullens were freaks and that they had to be avoided.

I just couldn't shut their thoughts and voices down, they were too many too loud; so I let them come and coped with them.

He's gorgeous! Look at his face…

I bet he has a hell of a body…

I think he looked at me last class…

I will definitely bring my mini-skirt tomorrow… he has to be mine!



Stop thinking about me! Maybe if I concentrate on what they're saying

"It's flirting time girls!"

"Lily, how can I approach him? Tell me something that I can use to start a conversation!"

"We must invite him to Friday's party."

How could they all be talking about me?! I need to get out of here, but if I stand up they'll surround and trap me…

"Alex, look at that new boy! He's even more gorgeous than Tobi! I have to talk to him!, come with me!"

"No! Tania, I don't think it's a good idea, I'm pretty sure he wants to be alone right now."

What did she say? There's a girl out there not wanting to overwhelm me?

"What are you talking about? We have to meet him!"

"No, not now, look at all those girls practically killing themselves to meet him, I'm sure the last thing that he needs is more girls to meet. I'm telling you, he wants to be alone, don't press him."

I located the girl sitting on the tables outside the cafeteria. Her friend was trying to pull her but she stayed seated. She had light skin, dark brown hair, and beautiful big green eyes. She had been apparently reading a copy of The Lord of the Rings; most importantly she was NOT staring at me.

"I'll go to the piano." She said to her friend while grabbing her schoolbag and putting away her book.

She plays piano? There's a piano here?! Where? I focused again on listening for thoughts, her thoughts so that I would know where the piano was; I drowned everyone else's searching for her 'voice'.

There was nothing. Silence. What's wrong with me? I tried harder. Still heard nothing. How's that possible? She was walking away from sight. I stood up and got out of there before any of the girls could react fast enough to cross my path.
