I Know What You Are
Chapter 3: Questions
--------------------------------------------------
EPOV
The bell rang and Mr. Banner started class. I just dont understand how none of our gifts work on her. What is she? How does she know about us?
A knock at the door brought me out of my thoughts, I searched for the mind behind the door but got nothing. Dont tell me she's in this class.
"Come in", Mr Banner called out, with an annoyed look on his face. Sure enough in she comes, this just isn't my day. Se's a lot closer now maybe I can hear her thoughts now.
The girl crossed the room and handed Mr. Banner a... notebook? Why? Come on, let me in your head, why can't I hear you, this is so frustrating. Mr. Banner held out his hand to her for some reason, but she was looking back at me matching my gaze. Who was she to stare at me, to shut me out, how dare she threaten us, ok well the last one hasnt happened yet, but still, what have we done to her.
Mr. Banner cleared his throat, "My name is Mr. Banner, you said you had a form for me to sign?". Wait she spoke, I didn't hear anything, what the hell is going on here? I watched as she searched through her bag and dropped a piece of paper on the floor.
Omg what a clutz, a girl in the front row thought as she giggled.
I went to laugh as well but as I inhaled, I smelt it, the most beautiful scent I have ever picked up, it made my throat burn with thirst. Mr. Banner handed the new girl a textbook and pointed to the seat next to me. She was halfway across the room when I realised. My god, it's her, it's her scent. Edward, calm down, I told myself, don't let her beat you. If you dont breathe, the scent cant get to you.
She was so close, just an arms length away, and still nothing. This is madness, why cant I hear her, I can hear everyone else in the room. When is this bell going to go, I can't take this any longer, my throat is on fire. As soon as that bell goes I am changing out of this class. I need to put as much distance with her as possible.
I look up at the clock, finally the bell is going to... go? The girl just swept her belongings into her bag and was halfway to the door before the bell sounded. What's going on?

I made it to my truck, hugging the steering wheel, trying to catch my breathe. Calm down Bella, you're ok now. Good. Now take a deep breathe, and think about what just happened. Ok, now you know theres at least one vampire running around Forks, for some reason its going to your school, and tried its best to resist its thirst. Could he be like Phil? I really hope he is like Phil. Oh boy. Bella, you've got two choices, drive home and hide under your bed or go back into that school and find some answers. Yes, answers would be good, I don't want to hide away anymore. Well maybe a little bit of hiding wouldn't be so bad.
I slowly climbed out of my truck and headed towards the front office. I can't stay in his class it's just not safe. As i approached the door, i could see in through the window. He was in there.
I opened the door slightly so i could hear what was going on.
"Im sorry Mr. Cullen.." so his last name is Cullen, great now i can find out if there is more with him, "..we can't change your biology class to anything else, all the classes that share that time slot are full. You're just going to have to stick with your current class."
"Fine", he replied through gritted teeth, "I'll endure". He continued as he walked passed me and out the door, not even acknowledging I was even there.
Ok, now that hurt. I understand he was dying of thirst and everything, but why is he trying to change classes to get away from me so bad, I'm only human, what can I do to him? I needed to know what his full name was. Taking out a pen and sheet of paper, I wrote, "Excuse me, could you please tell me who that guy was?".
"Hmmm?", the lady queried, taking my note. Thank god it was still the lady from this morning. "Oh, that was Edward Cullen.." Finally a name to put to the face. "..and shouldn't you be in your next class by now?" Crap, late again, today's just not my day. I turned to leave and she called out, "I believe next for you is English?, it's the big building in the middle of the school", flashing a smile as thanks, I headed off.
--------------------------------------------------
Finally lunchtime, I'm starved. Glad for the fact that I had no more encounters with vampires since Biology. Sitting at a table with a girl I met in English, her name was Angela, I was starting to think my day was turning around. Of course clumsy old Bella is never that lucky. Everyone at the table wanted to know something about me. I looked to Angela for help, and she gladly accepted. I mouthed her a 'thank you' while she explained to everyone what she already found out about me in English. And soon enough, people went to their own conversatons, leaving me be. I can tell me and Ang will get along great.
I looked around the canteen to see if i could spot Edward, but he wasnt there. Though what I did see shocked me. There were 4 other really pale people sitting alone at a table in the far corner. After a few minutes it was obvious they weren't eating, you just needed to know what to look for. Turning to Angela, I wrote "Who are they?", nodding my head in the direction of the vampires.
"They're the Cullens. They moved down here from Alaska last year. The big burly guy is Emmet, the gorgeous blonde hanging off of him is Rosalie, the guy that looks like he is in pain is Jasper and the last girl is Alice". After a moments pause, she continued, "Theres also an Edward Cullen, but I'm not sure where he is. Anyways their parents Carlisle and Esme adopted them all, but thats not the wierd part, they're all together, Rose and Emmet, Alice and Jasper. The only one available is Edward but he doesn't even pay attention to any of the girls".
"Don't waste your time with him, I'm pretty sure he's gay", the on the otherside of me added in, Jessica? I think her name was. Before I enquire further the bell sounded.
"Hey Isabella, im Mike, which class you got next? Need help finding it?" I looked up to see a blonde haired boy with a baby face, smiling at me friendly.
"She prefers Bella, and it's ok Mike Shes in my History class, I'm taking her there." We got up and i followed her out, leaving Mike behind. "Try not to let him get too friendly around you or else Jessica will get all bitchy. After Edward shot her down so many times, she's trying to get with Mike. Lets get to class."
I got a big grin on my face, she calls him gay because he doesn't like to play with his food, that is pretty funny.

Jasper walked me to history and kissed my cheek before heading to his class down the hall. I entered the class room to find that the last seat available was next to her. Well I guess we can finally find out what she knows.
She gave me a glance when i sat down next to her, but went back to writing notes with Angela. Why doesnt she just talk? The teacher isnt even here yet. I tried to get a glance of what she was writing but she covered it up. "Hi, I'm Alice", I told her in hopes she'd respond. No Answer. The teacher walked in carrying a basket of texts and started discussing what we were going to be reading. 'Wuthering Heights', already read it. Angela took a piece of paper from the new girl and headed to the front of the class.
I looked down to see a note in front of me. "I Know What You Are".
I looked to her and whispered, "What do you mean?" Maybe she doesnt actually know.
She took out her notebook and replied, "I've met those like you before, what is up with Edward, why would he starve himself around so many people, his eyes were black". Yeah she knows, wait Edward did what? I guess thats why I saw him hunting in a vision during lunch.
Angela came back at that point carrying 3 copies of the texts and she thankfully turned a page in the notebook, we don't need anyone else to become suspicous of us. "Why dont you talk?" I politely asked.
"Bella cant talk, she's mute, so she writes everything down. I asked her why she doesnt use sign language and its because its no good unless the person she's talking to knows it too, she only uses it with her mum when there isnt a pad handy." Angela helpfully explained, sitting down and passing the texts out.
Well that explains one mystery, but not the one i want to know about. At least we have a name now. "Hey Bella, do you mind if we meet up after class, I'd like to talk to you about something in private."
I could hear Bella's heart beat rise. Oh crap, of course she doesnt want to be alone with a vampire. "Look you don..", She held her hand up stopping me and started writing again.
"Just you right?" I read, and gave a nod, "You know the red truck in the carpark?".
"It's a little hard to miss", I giggled, and she glared.
"Dont dis my truck!!!"
"Sorry".
"Well meet mere there after school, ok? We can talk there".
