:
Alice caught me before I had rounded the corner.
"Hey Bella, what you got next?" well this was a first. My physic sister was asking my timetable-normally she told me what I had next
"Bio I think" I muttered discreetly
She squealed startling me a little so I push out my shield:
"OhMiGawd, OhMiGawd, OhMiGawd" she thought happily "hey if ya listening then clear a space next to ya in bio-later babes" and with that she twirled off, leaving me clueless and confused behind her. She went off in the wrong direction of her next class; she had biology like me but with a different teacher. Me and Alice were pretending to be seventeen year olds and Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie were seniors. My appearance told people I was seventeen but I was much, much older
I'm the second oldest out of my siblings, even older than Esme my "mother" not biologically of course. Jasper was the oldest child and Carlisle was the overall oldest and the wisest for that matter.
I was pondering on what Alice had said as I toke my seat. I was the only person without a lab partner-oh wait…oh!! Now I understand, if any "new students "such as Edward happened to be in this class he would have to sit with me!
Aw… this was gonna be a long year for him. Of course he'd be scared of me and now he had to work with me. I cleared the space next to me just as he was walking in, well maybe being next to him I might be able to see into his mind. Id never had to be particularly close before but you no…
BAM!
It hit me.
An overpowering scent that made me curl over. Venom flowed into my mouth. My hands tightened trying the desk to stop myself from springing in to Edward
Edward?? This was HIS scent??
W---O---A---H head rush!
I kinda liked it much to my surprise, I mean yeah sure it made me tense but the scent its self was beautiful. Thinking about it made me want more.
I inhaled sharply. Dizziness over toke me and I felt like I was floating not sat in a hard school chair. I sighed in contentment and cleared my head of the dizziness. The venom in my mouth was practically spilling over my clenched jaw
Ha, it looked like I was literally drooling over a boy, never thought id say that and actually mean it!
I swallowed the venom just as he sat down
Alright people drama over-what else could go wrong??
Oh boy...
He smelt even better up close up (I really didn't think that was possible)
My hand curled around my pen.
"Hello" Edward said in a velvety voice, whoa, he's polite as well as hot! His voice overtook my mind and I probably wouldn't have heard my pen snapping if Edward hadn't looked down at my clenched fist in alarm, "um... you ok??" oh he cared! No no no he didn't he was probably just worried he'd have to work with a crazy idiot for the rest of the semester
"Yeah, YEAH, am fine, you?" I asked worriedly- he still looked alarmed, probably never seen a girl snap a pen before. He rummaged through his rucksack until he found his pencil case.
"Oh im more than fine" he said cheekily but softly. I don't think I was supposed to hear that so I waited for his official answer, "yeah im good" he pushed a pen towards me with caution, "um I think you need another pen" friendly kid
"Ge thanks!" I said sarcastically grabbing the pen quickly. Probably to quick because he looked shocked again and his emerald green eyes went wide
Curse these awesome vampire powers!
"Keep it" he said friendlily, he seemed to be trying to start convocation
"You're Edward, right?" I asked knowingly
"Yeah sure, Bella?"
"Cool you now my name!" I said excitedly as he looked uncomfortable "you're new here aren't you, I can't remember seeing you before" and trust me I would have remember you! I thought surely
"Yeah I just moved here from Phoenix" he informed me
"Oh wow that's a change phoenix is warm! And forks well its not! Gosh you must miss the sun?"
"Suppose, I miss my mum more though…" he trailed off embarrassed at showing his feelings.
Edward Swan? Sounds familiar…Charlie Swan…got it! Slow reactions-gotta love 'em! Charlie separated form his wife years ago which is probably why I hadn't seen Edward before
Huh? He must have visited or something right? Maybe he didn't like Charlie
"Oh, so if ya aint with you're mum, who ya living with?" I hope he didn't think I was an idiot
"My dad" he implied a "duh" in his answer. Yep he thought I was a pen-breaking retard!
"Charlie?" in a town this small he couldn't get suspicious
"Yea-you know him?"
"No not really you're name was just familiar"
"How'd ya get Charlie form Edward?" he raised his eyebrows-wow he looked hot!
"I mean you're last name idiot!" oh boy, not another no-brainer! Well this is the first cute no-brainer id ever met
"Good point…" he was going to continue but Mr Banner claimed his attention asking a question we both seemed to have missed
"Mr Swan, listen up" he said sternly after he'd heard Edwards's pathetic answer-who says: "ahhh a spiderrr" and pounds the table when they don't know the answer?!?! Most people I know just mumble and look away
"Miss Cullen do you have the answer?" ha wanted to catch me out (for the first time)
I picked the answer out of his mind mischievously
"One thousand four hundred and fifty-three" I said triumphantly grinning happily
"Huh" Mr Banner sulked and continued talking to the class, ignoring me and Edward
Edward looked astonished. I flashed him a quick grin and pretended to listen to Mr Banner's lecture. Remembering my earlier frustration I pushed out my shield in a vain hope to hear him.
Nope-nada-nothin
Maybe he has some weird glitch in his brain. Edward ruffled his hair just as I decided to breathe. I was stunned yet again. I dropped his pen in an attempt not to crush it and clutched on to my stool. The bell rang and I threw myself out of the class room at a reasonable human speed and went straight to my car, slamming and locking the doors.
I needed to clear my head. With his scent all around me it made it hard to concentrate. Sure he was cute and friendly and…
NOT HELPING!
N. I (and he) couldn't afford to become interested in him.
I was a vampire. A strong, fast vampire. I could kill him with a snap of my fingers
I could finally think clearly now his magnificent scent wasn't rippling through me.
I wonder when he is. I searched the schools mind for him until I found him through Mike Newton's mind. He was his best friend and was apparently in his P.E
I followed Edward in mikes mind for the rest of the lesson, watching him trip over the P.E equipment and chairs.
When the final bell rang Emmett suddenly appeared outside my window, mentally whining about being stuck out in the rain. Blinking out of my thoughts I unlocked the door and he barged in
"Wow bells, you look kinda keyed up-sup?" he asked and for I second I thought he cared-until I heard his thoughts: "oh and why did you leave me in Spanish? You better have a good explanation…" I stopped listening and watched as his hands clenched dramatically into fists
"Oh. Oh, Oh! I do I do I do!!" I jumped up and down in my seat hyperily
"Oh my god, why didn't anyone tell me Alice was contagious?!?!" he exclaimed fearfully. Alice was well known for her hyper personality.
I ignored his comment: "you know the new boy..."
"Who, the one you were checkin out this lunch?" he asked cheekily
"LET ME FINISH! Well I sit next to him, and he smells really good"
"Bells, you didn't" Emmett asked alarmed
"Emmett" I whined "I would never!"
"What ever you say, sis, whatever you say" he thought as the others climbed in to the back of my silver Volvo. I sped of home hoping to leave the convocation far, far behind us. My hope vanished as Alice grinned happily at me. Her and her stinkingly awesome visions!
"Hey Alice" Rosalie asked as if she suddenly knew why I was glaring at my sister " are we going to Denali tonight?" oh…normal convocation…my bad. In Denali there is another coven like ours who prey on human-"vegetarians"
"Yes of course we are" Alice replied cheerily happy to be off to see Tanya, a member of the family and her shopping buddy. I on the other hand need to speak with Kate and Carmen immediately!
They chattered happily on the way home and darted inside at an inhuman pace when we reached the garage. I parked the car slowly and headed for the front door just as they were piling out
"Bellaaaa" Alice sang, oh no this could only mean one thing-shopping! "I've packed for youuu"
"Wait a second-packed?" I questioned hesitantly "how long are we staying?"
"For about the rest of the week, why?" jasper answered
Damn. Edward. He was my only thought.
they piled into emmetts ma-HOO-sive jeep while i hesitated by the door.
"Um guys is it alright if i um, run up?" i was the fastest runner and i would probably beat them there
"O...K Bella, if you want to" Esme said baffled. she liked to think of us as a family so i felt like i was betraying her now
"Alright, ceya's soon" and i was off.
