Ok so I posted this chapter early because we got a snow day yesterday and TODAY again! So I was in a good mood and I was happy with my reviews for my last chapter so I posted the next one.

Chapter 5 looking in the future
Edward's POV
The last two classes I had, past by in a blur. I hadn't payed much attention in either of them, but it wasn't like I was missing anything. I'd taken High School how many times now? I felt as if I had the classes ingrained into my memory for good. When the final bell rang, I met my family in the usual spot. In the parking lot, they all stood next to their cars, talking in low voices.
"Hey." I mumbled as I approached them.
"What's up Eddie?" Emmett laughed as he playfully punched my arm. I glowered at him, a deep growl emanating from my chest. He only laughed harder.
"C'mon, lets go." Alice said with a smile on her face, but I could see that there was something in her eyes. Curiosity maybe?
The way home was quiet, with the exception of Emmett trying to lighten the mood. None of us laughed, and Rosalie took it upon herself to whack him upside the head. Carlisle and Esme waited for us in the living room. Alice had called them in advance.
I hope things went well for them today Esme thought lightly.
Why would Alice have called to make sure I'd be home? Emmett better not of. . . Carlisle trailed off when he saw me shake my head.
"What's going on Alice? Did something happen at school?" Carlisle asked once we were all in attendance..
"Nothing big," Alice sighed. "Carlisle, there's a new girl at school." Alice said.
Before Carlisle could speak Jasper cut in.
"We think there is something different about her." He said, putting a protective arm around Alice.
"What do you mean different? As in, you don't think shes. . . human?" Esme asked, concerned.
"I don't know how to explain it. She has a heart beat, she looks completely normal but. . ." Jasper trailed off. "She has vampire traits.
"How so?" Carlisle asked, he looked truly fascinated.
"Her scent. It doesn't bother any of us. Not even Jasper." I cut in. Everyone took a knowing glance his way. It was no secret Jasper had a harder time with blood than the rest of us did.
Carlisle pondered this for a moment. Truly confused. But his thoughts were the same Rosalie's had been during lunch.
"Not just that, Carlisle. Her skin is colder than a humans, but barley warmer than ours. It even looks like granite, rock solid!" Jasper spoke.
"I've never heard of such a thing." Carlisle shook his head, trying to understand it. "Keep your distance. Don't socialize yourselves with her till I can settle this. I'll do some research."
We all nodded our heads except for Alice, who seemed to be deep in thought. I tried to read her mind but she blocked me out and glared at me.
"Alice, honey what are you thinking about." Jasper felt her confusion and wanted to know what was wrong. He gave me a knowing look and I shrugged, I didn't know what she was thinking about.
"I don't think I can do that Carlisle." Alice mumbled. "She's in my art class, and when I first saw her I felt this. . ." She shook her head and shrugged. " I felt this connection, like I'd met her before. It was weird. I wanted to speak to her but. . . and the weirdest thing, I was starting to see people. . . and places. Not like a vision though." She took a unneeded deep breath. "I saw. . . things, like from my past. I never used to be able to remember, but now I can! I don't understand. . . And we even have the same last name!"
"Brandon." Jasper whispered.
"Really?" Carlisle asked. She nodded her head. "Well, like I said before, keep a distance, and let me do some research. I'll let you know if I find anything."
Alice's POV
When I got to Jasper's and I room, I layed down on the bed we rarely used, and closed my eyes. It was times like this I wished I could sleep. I sighed, all I wanted was to be alone, to ponder the things I couldn't understand. It aggravated me that I knew nothing about the new girl Bella. I knew her, from somewhere. Why else would I being feeling like this? Remember things like this?
I was certain of two things.
Firstly, that I absolutely knew Bella from somewhere.
Secondly, she wasn't human, but she wasn't a vampire.
I let out a frustrated cry. I needed to find out more! I had to but, I couldn't see into her future! I kept thinking of ways I could get away with seeing her without Carlisle, or my families interference. I had to do this on my own.
It felt like I was thinking for hours, I layed here, trying my hardest to figure this out when suddenly, I was hit with an epiphany. Why hadn't I thought of this before? A couple of days before Bella came to town. I had a vision of people talking about the new student and about how pretty her and her car were going to be! I could only see Bella in other people's futures. So with that said, if Bella was in any of our futures, I would be able to see it before it happened!
That's when I got to work. I looked deeply into every ones future, hoping that Edward was too busy to read my mind. I first looked into Carlisle's future to see if Bella would ever happen to come across the hospital.
I saw Carlisle, working at his desk when he got a call that somebody needed his help. An hour later he finished the casting for a little boy's broken leg… Nothing about Bella.
I then tried Esme. I only saw her finish cleaning the house and work on the blue prints she'd been thinking about…
I tried Rosalie but all I got was her shopping with me, and her admiring herself in anything reflective. I checked in Jasper's and Emmett's future since they both had History class with her. They will have a history project due, and they need partners. Bella partnered up with a girl Angela. The rest of their futures had nothing to do with her.
So I tried Edward, knowing that they were both lab partners in Bio. Edward walked to Bio and sat down in his assigned seat. He looked deep in thought that he almost didn't notice Bella walk into the room. He noticed her eventually, and then looked at her with an expression I had never seen him wear before. Happiness, hope, want, and. . and love. I gasped, seeing what the future had in store! At the end of class, Mr. Banner said to the class "Before you go, just know that you are starting a project tomorrow with your partners, so be prepared!"
"I guess we'll talk about the project tomorrow?" Edward asked Bella nervously. She smiled and nodded her head.
I grinned wildly at the sight of them both. But even better, this was my chance to get to know her better! I had to work around Edward's gift so that the future would happen, and hopefully even more. He liked her. . . like, he really really liked her. He watched her with so much intensity that it was nearly sickening.
Suddenly, Jasper walked in, and I tried to hide my emotions.
"Alice." He sat down beside me. "Why are you so happy all of a sudden?" He wrapped his arm around me tenderly and kissed my neck.
"The future's going to change Jasper, it's going to change!" I said excitedly. He pulled away from me, searching my eyes with his. I smiled mischievously. "Nuh-huh, you'll have to wait and find out, Jazzy-poo." He groaned at his nickname, as I twisted out of his grasp and headed down the stairs. Hiding my thoughts from Edward as much as I could.
Things were going to get better, for me, for my family, and finally, for Edward.
How did you like an Alice POV? It was interesting doing it in her view but I had fun and I WILL write another in her view but no promises when.
You guys know the drill please please review! And since I posted today because of no school, I will be having a crazy rest of the week so I probably wont post again till Sunday or Monday.
If you ever want to recommend another person you want to see there POV let me know!
See ya!
