Chapter 4: Better Than Alone

Emmett POV

I was a little late to Chem. So sue me. Rose didn't want to go to her only class with out me. I didn't want to go to my only class with out her. You would think after four weeks of this schedule we would be used to it. Yeah, I would think so too.

So I arrived late to Chem. I walked in and was ready to take my seat at my empty table. When I noticed my empty table wasn't empty. I saw her. She was extremely pretty. Not as pretty as Rose, but she was cute. He skin caught me off guard. It was extremely pale, almost as pale as mine. So I looked into her eyes. Instead of finding topaz eyes, I found brown, chocolate brown. She couldn't be a vampire like I first thought. We could only have topaz, onyx, and ruby eyes. Not chocolate. I was still trying to figure out what she was when she spoke. Her voice was a beautiful sing song voice. "Hi I am Vanessa. Are you going to be my lab partner?"

"Hello," I said trying to make my voice sound confident. I have a feeling I didn't succeed. "Yeah, I guess so. My name is Emmett."

I was still trying to figure out what she was. When she looked at me and bluntly said, "And you are a vampire, right?"

I stared at her with questioning eyes. How did she know? No one else would have figured it out so quickly. Unless, she was a vampire. But I already ruled that out. I kept trying to keep my cool. So I said the first thing that came to my mind, "Yeah, and you aren't, right?" That is probably what I should have not said. But I didn't know what else to say. She caught me off guard with the vampire thing. I want to know how she knows about vampires.

She looked at me and stated, "That is partially true. I am a half vampire." Oh I guess that is how she knows about vampires. 'Cause she partially is one.

But how is that possible. I looked at her with unsure eyes. I could tell she knew that I didn't think it was possible. Just then Mr. Edison started class. I couldn't focus in class, I could only stare at her. Just wait until I tell Carlisle about this, I bet he would be really interested. Then the bell rang.

Edward POV

I couldn't focus in class today. I can't ever focus in class. All I do is think about her. It has been twenty years, and I still think I made the wrong choice. I can't even say her name.

One the plus side I have my family. I guess you could say that is better than alone. But some days I wish I had a girl. Not just any girl off the street, but her. The girl that I left. I hope she is happy now. Hopefully married to someone she loves. Jacob maybe. All I want is for her to be happy.

The bell rang. That means it is third period, time for study hall. Not that I need a class to work on my homework, I have all night to do that. Plus homework is easy having gone through high school so many times. But study hall is the only class I have with all my siblings. Since we are split up in grade, we made it so we all have this class together. We all sit in the back corner of the room. No one dared sit by us.

All of a sudden Emmett captured my attention with his thoughts. That doesn't happen that much. Usually I tune him out. But today I was bored, so I listened.

Hey Eddie boy.

I rolled my eyes to show him I heard and that I don't like being called that, like usual. He continued anyways.

Guess what I met last period?

I frowned. He knows that I don't like guessing games.

Guess, guess!

I gave him a death glare that only he could see.

Fine be that way, I won't tell you if you are going to be that difficult.

I just shrugged, pretending to be bored with this class. But Emmett knew I was answering him. I tried to fight back a smile. I knew he would break down any minuet and just tell me. He doesn't last long at these games.

I met a half human.

That did kind of catch my attention. But I didn't let it show that I was interested.

Guess what her other half is?

Here we go again with the games. So I just ignored him. Pretending I was really interested in what Jasper was saying.

Vampire, he stated with his mind.

She is half human, half vampire.

My head snapped up.

I hope you like it! Chapter 5 should be up soon. It is half way done!! Yippie!
