A/N So I made a little mistake, I added Tyler to the story. Let's just say that Eric was Mike lab partner and that he is the one who left town. Enjoy
Liz, Bella and Mike headed to biology class. Liz started to relax, sciences had always been her way to escape the world. She would focuss on whatever subject she will have to study and forget the rest, focuss on…
« Edward Cullen »
Damn, that boy was everywhere !
-You'll have to seat with the freak, sorry buddy ! Said mike
He dragged Bella to their table who looked upset. She introduced herself to the teacher and, taking a deep breath, headed to the empty seat. She felt his burning gaze on her immediatly.
-Hi. I'm Edward Cullen. And you must be Elisabeth Parker.
His smile seemed genuine, but she could read the same frustration in his eyes.
-Yes, but I go with Liz.
He nodded, still smiling.
She turned her attention on the teacher, wild aware that this Edward kid was still looking at her. The practical of the day was pretty easy, even boring for Liz. But she was doing it like it was the most fascinating thing in the world.
She watched through the microscope.
-It's Anaphase.
-Do you mind if I…
-Not at all, she cut, annoyed.
He looked at her, amused, then in less time than her found the same answer.
-Anaphase.
-Yeah, that's what I said.
Her tone was colder than she expected it to be, but she didn't care. That guy was a prick.
-So, what did you leave Roswell ? He asked while checking the next slice of onion. It's Prophase.
-Do you mind if I have a look ? She asked with a mocking raised eyebrow
With a sight smirk acroos his perfect lips, he pushed the microscope to her.
He waited patiently for the verdict.
-Prophase, she said reluctantly
-Yeah, that's what I said, he imitated
God, if she could rip that stupid smile off his ridiculously gorgeous face !
-So, you didn't answer my question.
-Because I don't want to, she snapped
She hold his gaze for what seemed like an eternity. His eyes were so black that she could almost see her reflection in them.
-Are you always that unfriendly ? He asked, breaking eyes contact and turning back to the microscope.
-Funny, I heard you gave my cousin the same treatment.
His jaws clenched and his grip around the microscope tightened.
« Touchy subject ? »
-It's prophase again. You want to check ?
-No, I trust you.
He turned to her, all signs of kindness gone.
-You shouldn't…
Despite herself, Liz shivered. He surely wasn't talking about biology.
They remained silent for the rest of the class, and few seconds before the ring bell, Edward was out of the room.
She got her stuff and start walking down the hallway, happy that her first day was over.
-Wow, Cullen seems to fancy you a much as Bella ! Laughed Mike
She didn't even notice him and her cousin by her side.
-Yeah, smiled Liz, but the feeling is mutual.
-At least he talked to you, said Bella in a small voice
She looked at her cousin, who was smiling sadly. Why did this guy had such an effect on her ? Ok, he was good looking. But he was an ass, thinking that he was too good to mix with other people.
« Like Max… »
She couldn't help the thought. Max was also acting this way before he saved her. Sticking with his family, talking to no one. But it was different, he was an alien, and was forced to look invisible.
-So Bella, do you want to watch movies tonight ? We could eat ice cream until our stomack hurt, she asked in attempt to cheer her up.
-Sounds great. But I pick the movies.
-Ok girls, I'm out of here before the names « Heigl » or « Kutcher » can escape your oh so pretty lips ! See ya !
The two girls laugh while waving at him.
-He likes you, pointed Liz as they reached Bella's pickup.
-He's a good friend, but he's not my type…
Her eyes wondered somewhere across the parking lot, and Liz follow her gaze.
Edward Cullen, of course. Standing proudly next to his volvo. Staring at her, again.
-Let's go, she said before Bella could notice that he was looking at her.
She wanted to make her forget about this jackass.
As they passed him, Liz took one last glance. A strange but yet familiar feeling of danger come over her. There was something odd about him.
« You shouldn't »
His words echoed in her head. Well she wasn't going to trust Edward Cullen…And she had to make sure that her cousin would follow her lead.
