Edward's POV

I have been through high school so many times in the past one hundred and six years I have lost count. It becomes quite tedious after a while but Carlisle says we must keep up pretences. A group of adopted teenagers living together and also being 'together' is odd enough in a town as small as Forks, there is no need to add to the suspicions by not attending school as well. But then again if I didn't attend the school, what else would I do all day to occupy myself?

Of course going to school and being the new students was never a small matter, we attracted quite a lot of attention. But this was to be expected. We do look very appealing to our prey but their natural instinct tells them to stay away from us, although they are unaware of exactly how dangerous we can all be.

Edward! Anything interesting?

My brother Emmett asks me through his mind. I let our a sigh, I know what he wants to hear, but telling him that some of the girls think he is handsome and that the guys find him intimidating will just make his head bigger.

I sigh and look from one side of the cafeteria to the other, as if I was just taking a look at my surroundings, but Emmett knew I was just saying 'No'. He then went back to thinking about Abba songs.

I hated it when he did this, so I frowned at the table and tried to block him out.

I had been around long enough to know the repetitiveness of the human mind, so it didn't surprise me to know that the new classmates around me were all thinking the same things.

They are so beautiful. What are they doing in Forks?

Blah blah blah. If you've heard it once, you've heard it a thousand times!

"Jessica! Were going to be late for class if you keep sitting there gawking! Come on!" I heard from across the cafeteria. I looked out the corner of my eye and noticed for the first time, one girl, apparently Jessica, blatantly staring at me and my family. It seemed a bit odd, seeing as her instincts should have told her to back off.

"Can you believe how beautiful they are! I've never seen anyone like that!" Jessica said. Although she was whispering, my sensitive hearing allowed me to pick it up. I chuckled to myself inwardly.

Jessica is such an idiot. She's probably trying to get one of the guy's attention by staring like that. She looks like a drunk. And what does she think she's doing with her hair?! Anyway their not THAT beautiful, they don't even have a tan. They should go to Hawaii like me to get one, but they probably couldn't afford it….

I tuned myself out of that Lauren girls thoughts. It was most obvious she was self absorbed but I could see in the back of her mind that she was ticked off that she was not getting much attention today at all.

Before I could tune out their thoughts, Lauren thought something that caught me. Some sort of plan to 'get' one of us? Haha! Emmett will love to hear that one later. And not just one plan, but two. Jessica was thinking almost the same thing.

I would have to keep an eye on those two, just so they don't come rummaging around and find out our secret somehow. It was always best to be safe rather then sorry. And we had already had a few close calls in the past.

Thank you for the reviews. Please message me with things to do to Jessica if you have any. I'm open to any ideas. I hope you enjoyed this chapter.

Please review! Thanks fo reading!
