Chapter 5 ~ Bella

Edward's POV

High School. Today was the first day of high school. We had to start high school again. The high school where I met Bella. After a while I was pulled out my thoughts.

*Umm… Edward you better get ready. Remember we also have to meet with the other vampires. Hurry up.* Alice.

I went to my room and quickly changed. I was back in two minutes. I went straight to the garage where everyone was waiting. We got in to car and rode to school. Once we entered the parking lot. There was a huge group of students staring at a car, jaguar. Then the students inside the car, stepped out. We automatically froze. They were vampires. There were four of them, two females and two males. But that wasn't the reason we froze, we froze because we was Bella as one of them.

Bella and the others turned their heads towards us and froze as well. We were staring at each other. I was staring at Bella. She was so different but the same. She is so beautiful. She looked amazing. She was wearing a mini skirt with a tank top. Over the top, she was wearing a half jacket. She had heals on. She was so different and beautiful. BUT she is a vampire!!! How??? I was getting angry. Then I heard my family.

*Wow! Bella is actually in front of my eyes after thirty years. My little sister is actually back! She changed a lot. She is a vampire. How??? That was why we left so…* Emmett

*Bella looks very beautiful. She is amazing. She is back. How did she turn into a vampire? We left so she couldn't be one but…* Rose

*Bella! My sister is back! I can't believe it! But a vampire??? Who did that to her?* Jasper

*Thank god Bella is back! My best friend is actually alive. Wait she is a vampire. How? And how come I didn't see that? We should have been with her…* Alice

Everyone had the same thing in their mind. Bella being a vampire. After a while I noticed I couldn't read any of their thoughts. They all were blank. I tried again but failed.

*Huh? How come I can't get any emotions from them? Ahh! One of them has to be a shield.* Jasper

Then the other family unfroze. Bella stepped forward facing her family and her back at us. She was talking to them but apparently none of us could hear it because of the shield. My whole family stared at them. They all very confused.

"One of them is a shield. So we can't get anything from them." I explained to my family. None of them answered back.

After a moment Bella's family walked to the main office, ignoring our stares. We were all still staring, although they already went inside. I slowly turned to my family who were staring at me now. We just stared at each other until Alice broke the silence.

"So now what?" Alice. They all stared at me, as if I knew the answer.

"Why are you all staring at me? I don't know." Then they dropped their eyes. I spoke again. "I guess we go to class." They all nodded and started walking.

My first class was Trig. I walked to my desk and sat down. Then one of Bella's family members enters the class, the female. She went to the teacher introduced herself. She had to sit beside me. Her name was Kimberly Anthony. Her hair color is like mine, bronze hair. Her eyes are chocolate brown, like my Bella's when she was a human. She is 5'4 feet tall. She sat down with a mixed up expression. I couldn't read it. I knew she was not a shield because I could hear her thoughts.

*Don't even try to get in my mind. I know you can read minds. You won't get anything from me so stay out, Edward Cullen.* Kimberly.

She knew about me. I guess Bella told her about me. Who was she to Bella? Was she her best friend? I knew I had no right on Bella. But I can't make conclusions when I don't know anything. Kimberly didn't think about anything that would give me some information. She was pretty good at keeping her thoughts to herself. Trig passed liked that.

My second class was English. The other male in Bella's family had English with me. He had to sit beside me as well. There wasn't any other sit. His name was Adam Anthony. He has my hair color as well. He has green eyes. He is 5'11 feet tall. I tried to read his mind but found nothing.

*I'm not going to think about anything to give you a chance to enter in my life, Edward Cullen.* Adam

He knew about me as well. Bella told all of them about us, I guess. Who was he to Bella? Her boyfriend? I felt a wave of jealousy down my spine. I was angry now. No I had to stay calm. She had a full right to have a boyfriend. She should move on. But again I wasn't sure so I didn't make any conclusions. English passed that way.

Lunch was finally here. I needed to see my family. As we entered the cafeteria, we saw the family sitting at the end corner beside our table. They all didn't look at us. As we went to sit on our table, I felt that there was no shield up. I could hear all their thoughts but not Bella's.

*Great they had to sit beside us. Now I have to think about something that I don't want to.* Kimberly had an angry face.

*Stupid Cullen's. I have to make sure I don't think about something that gives away anything.* Adam

*I can't believe this! Think about something!* The last male thought. I didn't know his name.

I couldn't hear Bella. She was just staring at her food. She didn't even look up once. My family was all thinking about them but I didn't bother to hear their thoughts. I was lost in my own. I was listening to the other table but couldn't get anything. I could hear their normal conversation but they didn't talk. Then Adam spoke.

"Bella, you there?" He asked.

"Huh???" Bella got out of her train of thoughts. "Yeah, I'm fine." She smiled. I felt that jealousy again.

The rest of the lunch went in silence. After a while Bella got up.

"Kevin, I'll meet you at biology class." Bella told the other male whose name was Kevin. Probably, Kevin Anthony. Not sure.

"Why are you going so early?" *Wonder what's wrong with her?* Kevin asked.

"I don't know. I'm bored, I guess. See ya." Bella started walking.

"Okay" *Weird* Kevin answered. Bella was out of the cafeteria.

Bella had biology with Kevin. I also had biology. This should be interesting. There was ten minutes left. I decided to go early and start talking to Bella. I left the cafeteria and went to my biology class.

I enter the class and saw her sitting. She was sitting beside me. Great. As I walked to me sit I saw her just drawing random stuff on her notebook. She always did that. I moved the chair and sat down. She looked up and we were both staring at each other. She was captured in my eyes. I tried to read her eyes but they were just blank. We didn't stop staring. She was just so beautiful. Why did I even leave her? She is my life. I don't how I survived all this time without her. Eventually she broke the eye contact and went back to her notebook.

"Bella, how are you?" I asked. She looked up and answered.

"I'm fine. You?"

"I'm fine as well. I guess." I surged. "Anything new?"

"Nah." She answered. "How about you?"

"Nop."

We didn't talk again. Other students came into the class. I saw Kevin come in and give Bella and me the glares. He took his sit behind us. Bella turned around and smiled at him, again I felt that deep down jealousy.

"How was your rest of lunch?" She asked him.

"Good." He answered back.

The teacher started the class. And none of us had another chance to talk again. All three of us just kept staring at the teacher. But I was also staring at Bella and Kevin was staring at me. Soon enough later, biology was over.

I walked to Gym and changed. I had gym with Alice. Then I saw Bella enter. She saw us as well. She walked to the teacher to introduce herself and he told her to change. In gym, none of us got a chance to talk. Then gym was over.

We walked to our car and saw the three of them waiting for Bella. Alice told us to follow her. She walked to the three of them and spoke to them.

"Hi. It's nice to see you guys. We know Bella." Alice.

"Yes we know about all of you as well. And it's nice to meet you as well." Kimberly said.

"You guys can come to our house. I mean we can know each other better." As Alice spoke Bella came.

"So, I guess you all have met." We all turned our faces to her.

"Actually, Bella we don't know them yet." Alice.

"Why don't we talk about this outside of school?" Kevin.

"Yes I agree. Is that okay?" Rose said while turning her head to face Bella. Then everyone was facing her even her family. She thought about it for a minute.

"Fine but where are we meeting?" She asked.

"We can meet at your place or our place." Jasper

"How about our house then Carlisle and Esme can meet you as well?" Emmett.

"Umm… sure. I guess we have to get going. Bye guys." She turned around to her car. The others followed her. I noticed that throughout the whole conversation, I didn't talk. We walked to our car and drove away.
