Two days had passed since Edward was a jerk to me and for two days he had skipped school.
Finally I built up the courage to approach Alice and Jasper.
I cleared my throat to get their attention and they both turned to look at me.
Alice smiled.
"Erm... I'm..." I started.
"Quinn, I know." Alice smiled.
I ignored that comment, focusing on why I was doing this in the first place.
"I was just being nosey to be honest. I haven't seen Edward for a couple of days." I tried to make it sound light hearted.
Alice and Jasper looked at one another.
"He had to go out of town." Alice answered me.
I nodded then went to leave.
"Hey, why don't you sit with us at lunch?" Jasper shouted after me.
I just smiled and shook my head.
Jessica stared at me open mouthed.
"OK please stop. You have been staring at me for the past minute and I swear you haven't even blinked." I said.
"You... were invited to sit with the Cullens... and you turned them down!" She said at me, for the eighth time.
"Yes well I am not going to skank you lot just because the "pretty" people asked me to sit with them." I laughed.
Jessica just stared at me even more.
"Seriously if you don't stop I am going to put my fork into your eye." I said, looking at her stern faced.
She finally blinked and stared over at the Cullens.
I just rolled my eyes.
Another two days passed without Edward being at school and I started to forget all about him until I walked into biology and saw him sitting there.
It felt like walking into a glass wall. He looked at me and then back down at his paper.
I finally sat down next to him and decided to ignore him.
"Hi." He said.
I never said anything and I heard him laugh slightly.
"Yeah I suppose I deserve that." He whispered as the teacher started the lesson.
I nearly went to look at him but stopped and carried on staring at the teacher.
"Please don't think I was being rude, it's just..." He carried on.
"SSSHHH!" I said harshly.
He was finally quiet.
The lesson dragged and finally the bell rung after what seemed like hours.
I started packing my bag and I could feel Edward still staring at me.
He was starting to piss me off.
"Can I help you?" I said to him, putting one hand on my hip.
He smiled a gorgeous crooked smile which nearly knocked me off my feet.
"No." He replied.
"Well... good. You need to learn some manners." I said, trying to remain strong.
He creased his eyes and nodded.
"You're right and please let me apologise for that." He said, looking straight into my eyes.
I scoffed then his eyes caught my attention.
"Wait your eyes have changed colour." I said.
He looked back down at the table.
"No they sometimes looked dark because of the darkness of this room." He said, looking into his hands.
I mouthed oh, not believing him one little bit.
"Anyway... I am busy so catch you later." I said, turning on my heels and leaving.
I smiled to myself, feeling quite smug.
Walking towards my car I was surprised to see someone standing at it.
As I approached it closer I realised it was Alice.
"Hey Quinn." She said.
"Erm hey." I said, tucking a piece of my blonde hair behind my ear.
"I know Edward was quite rude to you a few days ago but don't be too harsh on him." She said.
I went to say something but Alice carried on.
"Anyway I'd like to get to know you, more about your background. So anytime you want to hang around give me a call." She said, handing me a piece of paper with a phone number on it.
"Why?" I asked.
"It's called making new friends."
"It's called a little creepy."
Alice laughed.
"You and I are going to be good friends that I am sure of. And good friends get to know each other and their secrets..." Alice said.
"I don't have secrets." I interrupted.
I felt myself get flustered and tried to remain strong by staring Alice straight in the face.
She looked at me sympathetically which angered me.
"Thanks for your number, I'll keep it in mind." I said, pushing pass her to open my car.
"I'm sorry if you feel like I am prying. I know being the new girls makes you feel like everyone is doing that but I genuinely want to be your friend Quinn." She said.
"Yes well even so you shouldn't ask about secrets that is just downright rude. In fact your family have a knack for being rude so I would appreciate it if you all left me alone. Thank you." I said, my voice cracking.
I slammed the car door shut and drove off.
I held back the tears as I began to feel guilty for getting mad at Alice. She did seem genuine.
It just seemed weird what she had just asked me and as I drove home I began to question the Cullens.
Maybe my initial thought of them not seeming normal was right. But maybe... I mean could they be something supernatural?
I shook my head and laughed to myself. I was just being stupid.
I pulled up at home and shook all thought of the Cullen's out of my head.
