Chapter 2

I walked into Biology after lunch, and headed straight for the teacher, Mr. Molina I think, to give him my slip to sign.

"Ms. Swan, what a pleasure to have you in class," he says as he signs the slip before handing back to me. He pointed to the only empty seat in class, right next to one of the models from lunch, I think Edward. "You can take the seat next to Mr. Cullen," Mr. Molina said cheerfully.

Edward tensed up as I approached the desk. And when I sat down, I noticed he was gripping the desk tightly. We looked at each other at the same time. His eyes were pitch black, and he looked at me as though he wanted to kill me. As I looked away from him, I let my long brown hair fall between us, creating a curtain for me to hide behind. His behavior was beginning to make me nervous, so I kept my head down. I knew that if anyone saw me, my eyes would be green instead of their usual brown. I could feel my strength increase in response to my nervousness.

I took a deep breath, reassuring myself that I wasn't going to change here in the middle of the classroom. I wasn't that nervous, but better safe than sorry.

There was something strange about Edward Cullen, there had to be for he to react like this so soon after meeting him. Hell, I couldn't even claim that as he hadn't even spoken to me. All he did was tense up and glare at me, for all I knew he was simply germaphobic or something along those lines. Besides, I'd had people tense up and glare at me before. It wasn't anything new.

What the hell was going on?

The rest of the class was very tense, and awkward. Every time I glanced over at the boy sitting next to me, I found his black eyes glaring at me intensely. And when the bell rang, Edward was out of his seat and out the door before the bell had finished. I felt myself relax and my extra strength fade.

"Geez," Mike, who was in the class with me, said. "What you do? Stab Cullen with a pencil?"

"I didn't do anything." I frowned, was I the only person he treated like this?

"Really, I've never seen Edward behave so hostile." He slung his arm around my shoulders. "Don't worry babe, I still like you."

I narrowed my eyes at him. "Call me babe again and I'll rip of your dick," I growled. "And get your arm off of me before you lose it."

He smiled at me patronizingly, as though I was joking, and held his hands out in front of him defensively. "Chill Bella." He smiled. "I see you after school."

Like hell he would. Those were not idle threats, and I was more than capable of carrying them out. Then again, that could bring me some unwanted attention. Damn, sometimes I hate keeping a low profile.

I made it through the rest of my classes without incident. And as I walked into the office, I caught the last bits of the conversation Edward Cullen was having with the secretary.

"...Moved to a different class, even a different subject?" Edward asked.

"I'm sorry," Mrs. Cope said. "But every spot during the hour is full. You'll have to stay in advanced biology."

The door opened behind me as a teacher walked in to get to their mailbox. I saw Edward tense up, and again I felt my strength increase. I quickly looked down through half lidded eyes, watching Edward in my peripheral vision.

He turned and glared at me again. "I guess I'll just have to endure," he said before walking out of the office.

I quickly gave my slip to Mrs. Cope and made my way to my truck.

Another boring day of high school, great. I idly listened to my family's thoughts as I drove us to Forks High.

I wonder if Rose would like to to try some bondage, but where am I going to get something actually strong enough to restrain her without...Oh Shit! You better not tell anyone about this Edward- Emmett.

...You fought all the way, Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb, Yeah you fought all the way the way Johnny Reb. Heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside, saw the bullets open up the wounds in your sides, saw the young boys...- Jasper was singing, wonder what he's trying to hide.

...You and your hand tonight...- Alice was singing as well. She probably had a vision she shared with Jasper. Wonder what it's about.

I'm gonna have to put a brush guard on the Jeep. I'm tired of taking out all the dents and branches Emmett gets into when he's off-roading. Maybe I could get some fantastic thank you sex as well...- Rosalie.

I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose. "Alice, Jasper, What are you hiding?"

Jasper just chuckled and said. "Ask my wife?"

Alice glared at me. "Edward, I'm not going to tell you and ruin the surprise. Just trust me," She assured. "Not like you'd care anyways," she mumbled, almost too quiet for me to hear.

"If it has to do with school, then probably not," I assure her as I pull into my usual parking place.

She is hot!

I bet she's a slut.

Babe alert! Babe alert!

She is mine.

She better not steal my boyfriend.

I wonder why she moved.

Isn't she Chief Swan's daughter?

Bella...Cute.

Christ! What was with this new girl, that everyone was thinking about. I wondered as I stood in the lunch line with my siblings to get our human props, that we would throw away without eating. All I'd heard all morning where thoughts about this new girl, Isabella, Bella, Swan.

And both Alice and Jasper were beginning to give me headaches with the constant singing in their heads. Jasper had even begun to sing the Battle hymn of the Republic, which as a former Confederate Soldier was a big no no.

Alice was currently humming the Imperial march from Star Wars in her head.

"Have you guys seen the new girl?" Alice asked as we sat down at our table.

"I think I saw her in the hall talking to that Newton kid," Emmett said. Of course being as tall as he was it was easy for him to see over others heads. "She is hot! Oww! Babe, what was that for?" Emmett asked as Rose smacked him in the back of the head.

"For calling another girl hot." Rose glared at him.

"She's asking about us," Jasper stated. We all stopped to listen to the new girl and Another girl, Jessica I believe.

the two blonds are the Hale twins, Jasper and Rosalie. Rosalie is with the big dark-haired guy, Emmett. The sort haired pixie is Alice, she's real weird and with Jasper," We heard Jessica explain.

"I am not weird!" Alice hissed, to low and fast for humans to hear.

"Yes you are," Emmett said, earning himself another slap from Rose.

"Does he always look like he's in pain?" Bella asked.

Emmett burst out in laughter. "I like this chick," He chuckled. "She's absolutely right Jazz, you do look like your in pain."

Jasper raised an eyebrow at him. "If you'd like, I can actually put you in pain."

"Alright, another rematch." Emmett fist pumped.

Rose and Alice shook their heads.

"When are you going to admit that you can't beat Jasper?" I asked.

"Is this a trick question?" he asked.

We all shook our heads. And I focused on the new girl, curious as to what she thought about us. I was shocked when I didn't hear anything. I focused again, nothing.

What was going on?

0000000000

After lunch, I went to biology and took my usual seat. The seat next to me was empty, the humans instincts telling them to stay away, danger, despite my inviting appearance. A few moments later Bella walked into the room, and passed the fan at the front of the room, blowing her scent towards me.

And what a scent. I felt my thirst flare and knew my eyes were black as night. This girl was the most tempting thing I had smelled in my entire existence as a vampire. It was taking all of my will not tear her throat out and drain her dry here in the classroom. And then she had to sit next to me.

She looked at me, and I glared back, gripping the table tightly enough I was sure I'd splintered it. She put her hair between us, as though that would protect her.

Throughout class, she kept sneaking glances at me. Are her eyes green?

As soon as the bell rang, I was out the door, pushing the believable human speed.

I was surprised to find Charlie home when I pulled in.

"Hey Bells," He greeted as I stepped through the door. "How was your first day?"

"Fine. What do you want for dinner?"

He smiled from his recliner. "You don't have to cook tonight. The mariners are on and Billy and Jacob Black are coming over. You remember them?"

I nodded. "You bought the truck from Billy. Didn't I use to play with Jake when I was younger?"

"Yup. He grown a lot since then. Anyway, since they're coming over I'm gonna order pizza. What toppings you like?"

I smiled as I made my way towards the stairs up to my room. "Plain cheese preferably. But I'll eat pepperoni or Hawaiian as well."

I set my bag down as I entered my room and pulled my books out to start my homework. While I worked, I let my mind drift to Edward Cullen. I knew I would need to discuss my reaction with Charlie, especially since it had never happened before. I couldn't figure out why he triggered that reaction, and it was frustrating the hell out of me. I heard the doorbell ring and put my homework away.

I came downstairs in time to see a tall, buff boy with long black hair push an older man in a wheelchair through the door. I immediately knew who they were, even if I didn't recognize one of them. "Hello Billy, Jacob."

Billy smiled at me. "Bella, it's nice to know you remember me."

I smiled back. "You yes, though I have no idea who this monster pushing you is."

"Hey!" Jacob protested. "Am I that forgettable?"

Charlie and I chuckled as Billy said, "I think it's because last time she saw you, you were a short, scrawny thing. And now your a monster."

"I was gonna say it's the hair," I said smiling.

Charlie looked at me. "You gonna watch the game with us Bells?"

I shook my head. "No. But I wonder, have any of you met the any of the Cullens?"

I watched as Billy frowned, Jacob rolled his eyes, and Charlie shot a glare towards Billy.

"Here we go," Jacob muttered.

"Dr, Cullen is a brilliant doctor," Charlie began. "He could work at any hospital in the world, but he chose to work here in Forks. We're lucky to have him."

Billy snorted, causing Charlie to glare at him before he continued.

"I've never had any problems with his kids, and when I've interacted with them, or he and his wife, they have been nothing but polite."

"It's an act Charlie," Billy said. "You shouldn't trust them at all."

"Why?" Charlie asked. "What have they ever done?"

"I'm inclined to agree with Billy," I said, causing Billy and Charlie to look at me in surprise.

Jacob looked at me with a big smirk. "Does that mean you believe the legends Bells?"

"Jake!" Billy remanded sending a glare towards him. "We do not discuss the legends and tribal stories to outsiders."

Jacob sighed. "But dad, they're just stories."

Billy shook his head, then smiled. "Enough talk about the Cullens. We came over to spend a good time with our friends." He looked up at Charlie. "You order up that pizza yet old man?"

Charlie snorted. "Who you calling old. I'm not a grandfather yet."

"Wait," I said, holding up my hand. "Your a grandpa Billy?"

Billy chuckled. "You remember Rebecca, my oldest?"

I nodded my head.

"She married a surfer in Hawaii. They have a little boy."

"Come on Billy, lets go watch the game," Charlie smiled. "Pizza's on it's way."

Billy wheeled himself into the living room after my uncle, leaving me and Jacob alone.

0000000000

Me and Jake talked about several things. From the school on the Rez and Forks High to the Rez in general. We discussed my life living with Renee, with plenty of details left out. And Jacob took a lot of time telling me about a guy he and his friends hated down at la Push named Sam Uley. Aparently Sam was the head of some type of gang, one that apparently could do no wrong in the eyes of the Tribal Council, which Billy was an elder of. It really grated on him that his dad seemed to worship the ground Sam and his gang, two other guys named Jared and Paul, walked on. But I let him vent, since I got the feeling that Billy didn't like when he talked bad about them.

We also discussed my truck, which he rebuilt the motor on, and a Volkswagen Rabbit he was currently working on. Before he left, I promised to go for a ride in the Rabbit with him when he got in going.

Once Billy and Jacob left, Charlie turned to me. "Why don't you like the Cullen's Bella?"

I frowned. "It's not necessarily their whole family," I explained. "I sat next to Edward Cullen in biology. For some reason, and I really don't know why, he made me nervous. Nervous enough that my strength increased unconsciously. I'm sure that if I had a mirror my eyes would have been green."

Charlie frowned as he thought about what I said. "Did any of the other Cullens affect you that way?"

I shook my head. "And it was only when he was close. I had no problems during lunch. But during biology, and again after school, he triggered the reaction."

Charlie rubbed a hand through his hair. "In that case, be careful. And tell me if this happens when your around any of the other Cullens." He sighed. "I still think Dr. Cullen's a good man Bells, but I know it takes real emotion or threat to trigger that response in you involuntarily."

I shrugged. "Any idea what legends Jake and Billy were talking about?"

He shook his head. "No." he smiled. "I may be Billy's best friend, but he's a tribal elder down at La Push, and he takes his job seriously. And tribal law states that they're not supposed to tell their legends to outsiders, or at least certain ones. And while I know a few of the legends, I don't know any of those. Sorry Bells."

"It's okay Charlie. I'm gonna go up and go to bed, I've had a hard day."

"Night Bells."

Please Review, thank you. And this will be a Jared/Bella imprint story, but obviously they have to meet first.
