Chapter 2
Bella's POV
The next couple of weeks flew by in a blur. Except for the first day of school at Forks High. I was hoping to blend in, but that was not happening. At least my skin was not going to stand out like I was a freak. In Phoenix, I had trouble with my pale skin that never tanned at all, because it was the city of the sun. Not once in 17 years had l tanned even one speck. Anyways, back to point my newest friend, Jessica, helped introduce me and walk me to almost all of my classes except for 8th biology. Lunch has always beeps my favorite part of the day, but now it was the first highlight of my schooldays. That was when I first saw him. With extra, extra pale skin, (he made me look like l had a tan), honey Colored eyes, and spiky brown hair arranged untidily, he made me look normal. That was quite a feat for anyone as gorgeous as him
When she mentioned his name (Edward Cullen) he looked up as if someone had called his name, but we were at least 30 feet away from his table, there were 6 others who looked like him. Jessica said that Dr. Cullen and his wife Esme adopted them all. Rosalie, supermodel gorgeous Alice, she moved like a ballerina; Jasper, the tall blonde actor-like one; Emmet, huge is all l have to say about him Edward; and Derrick, he was kind of the abstract one. They all sat at one table.
"What's weird is Alice and Jasper, and Rosalie and Jasper are all dating. ''Jessica had whispered to Me.
" Well, What about Edward?'' I asked.
"Don't bother. He doesn't date" she answered. 1 guessed From her tone that she, along With many others before had tried.
When I got to 8 biology, I was in for the best-est part of my day.. When I got there the first day everyone had picked seats, there was only one desk left both seats empty. 2 minutes before the bell rang to signal the start OF class, site Walked in and sat beside me, The downside Was that when he sat down, he stiffened up and leaned as Far as possible from me.
Do I smell bad?, I thought. I dropped my hair as a curtain between us. At that he glanced quickly at me and relaxed a tiny bit. He was distant the whole period and when the bell finally rang, he jumped out of his seat and was the first out the door. I just stared in astonishment, the whole class looked at me. I rose and followed Edward though the door and to the administration building. I turned in my first day slip, turned, and stopped. Edward stood poised with his arm raised as if to open the door. But instead he pivoted in place and walked swiftly to the silver Volvo parked in the student lot. I watched as Alice, Derick and Jasper piled into it as, next to it in an apple red convertible Rosalie and Emmet drive down the isle.
That night I dreamt of him. We were in my room and he was sitting in my rocking chair staring at me. Slowly he got up, as if not to frighten me, and sat near my hips on the bend. Ever so slowly, he laid his hand on mine, then moving so frustrating slowly he leaned in towards me. And we kissed. My reaction surprised even me. 1 threw myself against his chest and flung my arms around his neck. UMMM, this dream was so real! He let my lips free and started on my cheek., moving to my ear. When he moved to my neck, he bit me.
