Chapter 2: Black Eyes

Kara pulled into the Forks High School back parking lot next to Bella's orange truck bound and determined not to see Emmett Cullen today. She couldn't concentrate on anything, but him all last night. And it was driving her insane! Why couldn't she stop thinking of his adorable dimples and that smirk of a smile he gave her when she yelled at him yesterday. She wasn't like that, but seeing Emmett stare at her like Chris her ex-boyfriend use to do. If it was one thing she hated it was being stared at like a piece of meat.

She waved at Bella who gave her a small smile as they both exited their vehicles.

"Hey Kara, I see you're avoiding the Cullens today." Bella joked with her lightly as they walked up the stairs past the Cullen cars with the Volvo noticeably missing. Kara let out a breath of fresh air when none of the Cullens themselves were there. Maybe lady luck would be on Kara's side today.

Kara grunted and rolled her eyes as they walked inside.

"I don't know Bella, it's just that Emmett...I don't know, he...ugh I don't know." She said hiding her head in her hands.

"Intrigues you?" Bella supplied for her as they reached their lockers.

"Yes he does and it's driving me crazy." Kara commented looking up at her as she opened her lockers, unloaded her books from last night and placed them into her locker.

"Did I tell you about me meeting Edward?" Bella asked her curiously as she shrugged her backpack off of her shoulders and opened her locker.

"Uh no you didn't! Spill Bella!" Kara exclaimed with shock as she grabbed her schedule, glanced at it and grabbed an empty notebook and folder for her American History class. She loved history class, so she was actually looking forward to it.

Bella just shrugged her shoulders and closed her locker shut.

"He was in my biology class and when the fan blew into my hair, he suddenly twitched it and looked like he was going to throw up. So when I sat next to him, I thought it was me smelling bad, so then throughout class, he kept staring at me. I should have yelled at him like you did to the bigger guy. Maybe that would woke him up." Bella replied with a laugh.

Kara smirked. "You should have Bella, if you see him today and he's doing the same, say something sarcastic like 'Do I have something in my teeth or something?' or even worse."

"I personally like yours better Kara, can I steal it?" Bella asked with a laugh as the bell rang loudly.

"Sure steal away, what class do you have now?"

"Trignometry and you?"

"American History. I'll see you later." Kara said as she headed towards the History classroom.

"Yeah sure have fun." Bella commented softly as she turned and headed up the stairs towards the math classrooms.

Kara stepped into the American History and groaned to herself. She recognized Emmett Cullen sitting in a desk in the middle of the classroom talking to his brother...Jasper, she thought it was.

So lady luck was not on Kara's side today after all. She then sighed as she walked up to the teacher and introduced herself once more.

"Oh hello Miss. Butler, take a seat next to Emmett Cullen, he's the big guy in the middle." The teacher said as he pointed towards Emmett who had stopped talking to Jasper and was staring at her. He then handed Kara her history book and workbook.

She sighed and walked over to the desk in between Emmett and a guy from her lunch table yesterday, Eric.

Emmett leaned over and tapped a finger on her desk.

"Is it safe to say hi or are you going to yell at me again?" Emmett asked curiously with a raised eyebrow and Kara noticed that Jasper was staring at her as well.

She raised an eyebrow back, "Well it depends, are you going to stare at me again." She retorted and Emmett smirked again.

"Sorry if that offended you, you were parked next to my Jeep and you are new. Lots of people were staring at you." He said and she groaned.

"I know don't remind me, I hate being new or the center of attention. I'm just content with being myself or with a close friend sometimes. I am sorry for yelling at you by the way. It just bugs the hell out of me when a guy stares at me like a piece of meat. Truce then?" She offered holding her hand in front of him.

Emmett grinned and shook her hand none to gently. She then gasped when she felt the coldness from his hand.

"Truce. I'm Emmett, you're Kara. This is my brother Jasper."

Kara smiled slightly at Jasper who bowed his head at her."Nice to meet you Jasper and you too Emmett. Your hand...it's really cold." She said as she then shivered when a gush of cold air flew into the room.

Kara's hair blew back into the wind and she watched as Emmett's eyes suddenly changed from golden brown to black. He growled slightly as his hand went towards his mouth covering it completely. She looked up at Jasper with wide eyes as his eyes turned black as well. Emmett had stood up after Jasper had and pushed him away from Kara's strong scent.

"Emmett...Jasper are you both alright?" She asked them gently as both of them suddenly jumped up from their seats and ran out of the classroom saying that they weren't feeling well.

Kara was completely shocked as she watched them rush out of the classroom and people stared at her. She then glanced around the room and shrugged her shoulders.

"Don't look at me, I don't know what is going on." She said as the teacher cleared his throat and began talking about the American Civil War.

"Time to watch the movie Gettysburg, can anyone tell me when the Battle of Gettysburg was and tell me about it." The teacher said and everyone fell silent.

Kara glanced around and then slowly raised her hand in the air.

The teacher looked up and nodded at her, "Go ahead Miss. Butler."

"Well the Battle of Gettysburg took place from July first to July third in 1863 fought in and around the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania as part of the Gettysburg Campaign, was the battle with the largest number of casualties in the Civil War and is often described as the war's turning point. Union Major General George Gordon Meade's Army of the Potomac defeated attacks by Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, ending Lee's invasion of the North. The two armies began to collide at Gettysburg on July 1, 1863, as Lee urgently concentrated his forces there. On the second day, most of both armies had assembled. The Union line was laid out in a defensive formation resembling a fishhook. Lee launched a heavy assault on the Union left flank, and fierce fighting raged at Little Round Top, the Wheatfield, Devil's Den, and the Peach Orchard. On the Union right, demonstrations escalated into full-scale assaults on Culp's Hill and Cemetery Hill. All across the battlefield, despite their significant losses, the Union defenders held their lines. On the third day, fighting resumed on Culp's Hill, and cavalry battles raged to the east and south, but the main event was a dramatic infantry assault by 12,500 Confederates against the center of the Union line on Cemetery Ridge known as Pickett's Charge. The charge was repulsed by Union rifle and artillery fire, at great losses to the Confederate army. Lee then led his army on a retreat back to Virginia ashamed." Kara replied and the entire class stared at her in shock.

"I love history." She mumbled and then the teacher clapped.

"Wonderful Miss. Butler, you'd get along with Jasper Hale if he was here. He knows a lot about the Civil War as well. Now class I hope you paid attention to Miss. Butler, that sums up the battle of Gettysburg perfectly. Now here are the normal worksheets to fill out during the movie so pay attention." The teacher replied as he handed out worksheets to everyone and then started the movie.

Kara knew the movie and filled out the information she already knew, so when she was watching General Robert Lee march up with his troops towards Pennsylvania, her mind drifted towards Emmett and his brother Jasper. She hoped that they were okay, but also thought about what Bella told her. Something weird was going on, maybe the Cullen family were hiding something or just prone to sickness.

The bell rang and she jumped to find Bella. She needed to talk to her.

Lunch time came quickly and Kara rushed into the crowding cafeteria to see the Cullen table empty except for the two females, Alice and Rosalie, she remembered. Kara wanted to see if the men were okay, but was interrupted by someone tapping her shoulder.

"Hi were you in Mr. Brown's American History class?" A young woman asked her with a raised eyebrow.

Kara slowly nodded. "I am, are you?" She asked as she then nodded with her head for her classmate to follow her and she did.

"Yeah I am and I'm so freakin happy I found someone else who is a history buff like me! I'm Kylie by the way, Kylie Hammonds. My boyfriend Jon is friends with Mike and Eric over there." Kylie said introducing herself as they sat down and soon Bella sat next to Kara.

Kara laughed, "Yeah I love history too. Mostly American history, so I know what you mean. I'm Kara Butler by the way." She said.

Kylie let out a smile as she took a bite of her grilled cheese sandwich, "I'm just so relieved that someone else likes history like me. I think we'll be really good friends."

Kara smiled at her as she sipped some of her water, "I hope so. You can never have too many friends I guess."

"I see you've caught Gavin Sheridan's eye too." Jon, Kylie's boyfriend commented with a small wink towards her.

Kara rolled her eyes. "I'm not interested in Gavin like that Jon, I just got out of a crappy relationship so I just want friendship so I'm not going to worry about anything else right now....hey Bella." She said giving Bella a smile.

Bella smiled back, but then leaned over at the same time Kara did.

"Edward's not here today." She told Kara softly so noone else would hear.

"Emmett and Jasper were in my American History class, but when the wind blew in my hair, their eyes turned...like a black color and they both left. It's like what Edward did to you. It was really strange." Kara told Bella and Bella's eyebrow went up in confusion.

"Is it just me or are they hiding something?" She asked Kara curiously and Kara's shoulders slumped as she sighed.

"I have no idea Bella. I just don't get why I'm so curious about the Cullens and it's annoying." She replied with a small chuckle as her friend did the same.

"Yeah I know, I don't understand it either. Maybe we'll never know." Bella retorted and Kara let out a small laugh.

"I hope I get over it soon enough to be honest....but at the same time Emmett was really nice before he left..oh I don't know." Kara admitted quietly as she groaned.

"Do you think they'll be back soon? I really want to confront Edward." Bella asked and Kara sighed as she glanced over at Alice and Rosalie who were chatting quietly with one another and then the short pixie looking one turned her head and gave Kara a sweet smile.

"I have no idea Bella." She replied as then Kylie asked her a question about the Civil War worksheets.

The bell rang minutes later with Kara once again thinking about Emmett freakin Cullen and then felt an arm wrap around her shoulders. She turned her head to see Gavin smiling at her.

"Hey there gorgeous, what class do you have next?" He asked her curiously as Bella rolled her eyes beside Gavin and Kara tried to laugh out loud.

"I have English with...uh Mr. Berty." She replied as then Kylie squealed with excitement.

"Me too! Let's go we're going over Shakespeare. Let her go Gavin, we'll see you later. Bye dear." She said giving Jon a soft kiss on the lips as she then took Kara's arm and dragged her down to Mr. Berty's English class.

"Hmm I wonder where the Cullens are. They are usually always here." Kylie wondered out loud as she directed Kara to Mr. Berty who gave her her English book and several small books that turned out to be Shakespeare plays like Romeo and Juliet.

Kara's ears perked up as they sat down next to one another.

"The Cullens are in here?"

"Just one, Emmett's in this class with us. I wonder where he is today." Kylie pondered out loud as Mr. Berty cleared his throat and class began.

Kara sighed as she opened her English book to where Kylie was, "I don't know." She whispered gently. This was going to be a long 2 months left of school, she thought.

I know that was not my best chapter ever, it's what readers call a filler chapter lol. The next chapter will be much more interesting I promise. Please read and review!!
