Why did I get the most awkward seat in the classroom? Edward was glaring at Jasper pretty much the whole class. Edward's eyes were black unlike the rest of the Cullens. Jasper didn't pay any attention to the lesson at all.
"Bella." Jasper focused on me for a second.
"Yes?" I looked at Jasper. He stared at me intently.
"Never mind." Jasper clicked his pen. I shrugged.
"Uh, okay."
"Tell us about yourself." Jasper looked at his open binder.
"Um, like what?" I asked. Why were the Cullens so interested in me? Were they always like this?
"Like, your name, where you lived, how you lived, what you like." Jasper prompted. I nodded. Personal stuff huh?
"Well I'm Isabella Marie Swan; I used to live in Phoenix, Arizona. I loved to go outside but I didn't stay out long since it was always too boring. I never had any good friends or anything since I don't get along well with people." I explained.
He spoke with a tight, strained voice. "You're what, seventeen?" Edward looked at me. His face was beautiful but so were Jasper's and the rest of the Cullens.
"Yes."
"I see." Edward went back to being quiet. His hand was twitching on the desk. His fist was clenched and it looked like he was in a sort of pain. Jasper stared at him, his face impassive.
"Edward, take a break. You look thirsty." Jasper sighed.
"You're right."
"I know I am."
"Smartass."
"Thank you." Jasper smirked and Edward raised his hand and faked a cough.
"Can I get a drink?" He asked the teacher.
"Are you dying over there?" the teacher, Mr. Banner asked.
"Yes I am." Edward gritted his teeth. Jasper spoke up.
"Let him get some water. He's coughing up a storm and disturbing Bella and I." Jasper winked.
"Fine. Go, but you have 1 minute." Mr. Banner said. Edward nodded and walked out the room. Jasper held back a laugh.
"So, Bella, what's your favorite color?" Jasper asked me. My face heated up as I looked into his eyes.
"Gold." I responded automatically.
"Gold? Why gold?" Jasper asked, clearly amused.
"Um…" I blushed furiously. I shuddered. It's because of his eye color.
"It's okay. You don't have to tell me." Jasper looked at his notes and scribbled something down. "What's your favorite food?"
"Pizza. I love all kinds." I smiled. I loved make pizza for my mom. Tears formed in my eyes at the thought of not being able to do that stuff for my mom anymore. I put my head down on the desk and tried to calm down.
"Bella? Darlin' you okay?" Jasper questioned, concerned. I was tempted to say no. I decided not to answer. A wave of calm washed over me. What the hell was that?
"You okay now?" Jasper asked.
"Are you doing that?" I asked.
"Doing what?"
"Calming me down. Is it you?" I wiped a lone tear from my eye.
"…" No response. Jasper looked down. "I can't lie. Yeah, it's me."
"Empath…" I muttered quietly.
"I am."
"You heard me?"
"I have sensitive ears." Jasper shrugged. "It's something I have been born with."
"Oh…" I learned something today. Jasper is awesome. I heard the door open and Edward walked back in. His hair was messed up slightly. His eyes were golden. As he sat down I looked at his eyes, studying them.
"Did you put on contacts?" I looked at him. Edward looked confused.
"No, why?"
"Your eyes…are gold. They were black when I came in." I leaned on my elbow.
"You're imagining things." Edward fixed his hair.
"No I'm not. I saw them! I saw you with black eyes!" I accused. I jerked my head up. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay…um…no one ever said anything about my eyes before and I got defensive." Edward looked at his book.
"Okay then." I looked away from his beautiful face. Class was interesting, yet I wasn't paying that much attention. The bell rang and I walked out the classroom. Emmett was there waiting.
"Thanks." I muttered.
"No problem. I said that you were eating lunch with us." Emmett boomed. I grinned.
"Oh yeah,"
"Let's go." Emmett wrapped an arm around my shoulders. He led me to the cafeteria and he sat me down at a table. Rosalie and Alice were already seated.
"Uh, hi guys." I said sitting down. Alice grinned.
"Bella, hi!" Alice slid her chair closer to me. "How was biology with Edward and Jasper?"
I blushed. Sitting in between two attractive guys made me feel so plain. I automatically felt self-conscious. "I sit in between them both."
"Wow, that's an awesome seating arrangement. What do you have next?"
"I have gym." I sighed. Gym is the worst class for the uncoordinated.
"Great! Me too!" Alice said.
"I have gym next as well." Rosalie stood up and walked to the lunch line.
"Great, there's going to be someone I know in my next class then." I was slightly relieved. Somehow I befriended all of the Cullens on the first day. I want to know more about them. Especially Jasper and Edward.
"Hello everyone." Jasper said as he sat next to me. I blushed at the closeness. He seemed to take note of that action and moved a bit closer.
"Hi." We all said in unison. Edward walked in too. He didn't sit with us. He sat at a table by himself.
"Why is he sitting alone?" I asked.
"Edward's a weirdo. He does stuff like that." Emmett said. A book went flying into the back of Emmett's head. "Hey, that wasn't very nice!" Emmett shouted at Edward. His voice boomed. People were starting to stare. I hid in Jasper's shirt.
"Emmett, shut up!" Alice shouted. "People are looking!"
"Oops." Emmett grinned. I shook my head. My stomach growled so I got up to get some lunch. Alice pushed me back down. Rosalie came back with a tray full of food. Everyone looked at me.
"Am I supposed to eat all that?"
"I didn't know what you liked so I got a little bit of everything." Rosalie sat down.
"Um…but what about you guys? I'll share if you want." I offered. Rosalie smirked. I shrugged and began eating.
"No need. We're all on strict diets. We have to stay in shape you know?" Rosalie flipped her hair. Alice pulled out her notebook from her bag.
"Doing homework?" Jasper smirked.
"Esme won't be happy if I don't do it and go shopping instead like I did last time." Alice winked. She seems like the shopaholic type. "Hey, Bella, I know we just met, but, can you come shopping with me? I already asked Rosalie and she said no."
"Uh, okay." I really hate shopping. How bad could it be though?
"Let's go!" Alice put her homework away and picked up her bag.
"What about gym? I can't ditch on my first day!"
"He doesn't care. Do you want to play dodge ball with all of those competitive people?" Alice questioned. I didn't respond. I suck at dodge ball…and all sports for that record. "Exactly. Now, let's go. The mall gets packed after school hours." She dragged me by the arm out of the cafeteria.
"What about my lunch?"
"I'll get you something from the food court." Alice smiled and dragged me out of the school. She pulled me over to a red convertible. Nice ride. She threw me into the seat. I felt as if I was going to be kidnapped. She pulled out of the parking lot.
"Don't you think you're driving a bit too fast?" I asked. My hair was whipping around like crazy. "Holy crow! Slow down! We're past 120!"
"Calm down. I always drive like this." Alice grinned.
"Well it scares me." I huffed. She pouted and slowed down to eighty. "Thank you."
"We're here!" she grinned. Hyperactive little pixie. She dragged me into a bunch of stores and nearly buying me everything on the racks.
"Where do you get that kind of money?"
"I'm rich. I've been saving it for awhile. A long while…" She trailed off. "Oh these jeans would be so cute on you!" She put them in a cart.
"Okay…" She checked out and dragged me to the shoe store. She bought everything in the store that was in my size. She checked out again. The cart was filled so we got another one. Eventually she had ten carts filled with our stuff. She called Emmett to bring his Jeep so we could have more space to store the clothes. I was extremely tired afterwards. I carried everything to my room which took twenty trips. I collapsed on my bed and fell asleep. I set a timer to wake me up so I could make Charlie's dinner. The Cullens are very interesting people.
