Music: Chapter 2
Bella's POV
I woke up in the morning a little groggy, and I wasn't really in the mood for going to school. Somewhere in the back of my mind I thought, Maybe, I'll see him today. What if we go to the same school...? I said to myself, Stop hallucinating! You know it's very unlikely. You're giving yourself hope for nothing! I knew my mind was right although I still hoped.
I needed to get out of the house. I'd had enough of these ridiculous thoughts!
Half an hour later, I was parked in front of Forks High School. Two spots down, a shiny, silver Volvo was parked there. Wow,I thought. Nicecar.NottypicalforForks,though. In fact, it was the only decent car in the lot. Who owns that? I wondered, a little jealous.
The first couple of periods passed by in a blur, and before I knew it, I had Biology. It was my least favourite subject and very boring. We were learning about cells, something I already learned.
The rest of the morning passed and I wondered, curious, Who is supposed to be sitting in that seat, and why aren't they there? After I while, I shrugged my shoulders and sighed. I was blowing this wildly out of proportion.
At Lunch
I walked into the cafeteria, with hardly any appetite, but I lined up anyway. I bought my food and went to sit down. From across the cafeteria, I noticed five people sitting at a table, not eating or talking. One of them turned their head slightly in my direction, and I gasped. It was him.
I thought to myself, I have to introduce myself. What? The other voice screamed. He's going to think you're a jerk! I know, I sighed. But I have to try. Take a deep breath, Bella, it's going to be fine.But, I didn't feel comfortable enough to do it. Being me, the shy, clumsy, Bella Swan, it was understandable.
Later...
By the end of the day, I felt the need to go home. I donned my jacket, and headed out into the rain. Today I walked slower than usual, maybe from all the day's events.
Before I knew it, I was walking past the house again. I took a deep breath, and listened to another beautiful melody. Love In Mind by Neil Young. He must really like him then, I thought, awed.
Without me noticing, the door opened. I froze in shock. Why was he out here? Did he recognize me?
He didn't even notice me. He just took off running into the woods. I ran after him, my pace rather slow. He ran like a cheetah and didn't even stop to catch his breath.
After a while, I saw a couple of deer passing by, and he lunged after one, attacking it.
I watched him with wide eyes.
Is he suicidal? What in the world is going on here?
He ripped the deer's throat open, and started sucking its blood. After taking down a couple more, he turned around and raced back toward the house.
When we got there, he was about to go inside but I cleared my throat.
He gave me a vicious glare. His gold eyes piercing. They slowly turn into slits, and they are beyond fury.
I turn and run as fast as I can, for I am afraid he is going to kill me.
Edward'sPOV
My first couple of classes were VERY easy for me, so it went by really fast. I was going to go to Biology because to me, it's an interesting subject, but Alice warned me not too. She shared her thoughts with me:
Edward, you can't go to Biology. I just had a vision of you attacking a human girl, in your class. Her blood and scent will overpower you. YOU CAN'T RISK IT! WE CAN'T EXPOSE WHO WE ARE!
End of Vision
Ok, I thought to myself. To be on the safe side, I won't go.
At Lunch
In the cafeteria, I was talking with Emmett and Rosalie about the vision Alice had shared with me.
While we were talking, I was looking at what was going on around me.
I turned my head, and I noticed a girl with mahogany hair, brown eyes, and a heart shaped face. All together, very beautiful. All of the sudden, I heard her gasp.
Why was this girl gasping when she saw me? Was it because she thought I was different? Did she know something about me? Fear was all over my body. Did she figure out our secret? Did she know we were vampires?
Later...
I sat down and starting playing my piano, thinking about love again. I was playing LoveInMindbyNeilYoung.
After a while, I decided I need to go hunting.
After I returned, somebody cleared their throat, I turned, stunned for a second, and gave them a good glare. My eyes narrowed. Why was this person on my property? Did she follow me here? Did she know our secret? I was so mad. She looked really scared.
After a second, she broke into a run and I chased after her. I needed answers.
She ran until she was out of breath, and then stopped.
I glanced up at her, and said "I'm sorry about before. I didn't mean to scare you. Are you okay?"
"Yes."
"What's your name?" I asked her quietly, so I wouldn't frighten her.
"B-Bella," she stammered.
"Hello Bella, my name is Edward Cullen. I have a question for you. Why did you run away from me?"
I can't read her so I can't just pick the answers out her head. Strange. Never had a situation like that.
It took her a minute to answer.
"I-I passed by your home, and I heard you playing the piano. I loved it so much I just stood there. When you came out, I was about to introduce myself, but you were already running into the woods, so I followed you." She took a deep breath then continued. After a while you came buy a herd of deer, killed them, and started drinking their blood. So I ran because I was afraid you were going to kill me too."
Oh no, I thought. Did I just expose who we are?
