Chapter Two: First Day

Now that I'm here I can tell if I can handle being around so many humans at once, and so far it doesn't seem like it will be hard. I look around and take a big sniff, there is something more here than humans, other vampires. I had already changed my look to be more human. I changed my golden eyes to be a dark chocolate brown and hid the scars that were on my body from the vampires that I have come across that wanted to fight. My hair was a mahogany color that went a little past my shoulder.

I walk in the office glad to not have so many eyes staring at me. "Hello, miss," said the woman behind the counter. "Are you new here?"

"Yes ma'am I am, I'm hoping you can help me get registered in my classes." I said with a smile. "My name is Isabella Swan, I just moved into town with my parents. They are both so busy that they didn't have time to come down here themselves to register me, and I've already missed more school then I should have."

"No problems at all, let's get the paperwork done and then get you off to class." she said smiling back at me in my motherly way. She worked really fast to get my schedule done so that I could be able to get to my classes on time today.

This is going to be easy for me, I thought while I was waiting on her to finish up my class schedule, I haven't even considered killing anyone. Living with the humans wouldn't be to hard as long as I kept my thirst under control. She finished up my class schedule with just enough time to get to class. "Bring this piece of paper back to me at the end of the day with your teacher's signatures on it." She said as she gave me the run down on where all my classes were located.

First class of the day, English, when I walked through the doors I could tell me and this teacher were going to get along, he just signed my paper and sent me on my way to find a seat without having to introduce myself. I looked over the assigned reading list and notice that these were books that I had already read several times so they would be easy for me to remember.

After class a brave student finally got up enough courage to come over and talk to me. "Hello, my name is Eric. You must be new in town." He said with a big grin that showed me that he was up to no good.

"Hello Eric, my name is Bella Swan." I paused and started walking towards my next class with him trailing behind me. "I am now to town, just got in last night."

"Cool we don't ever get new students around here," he said still grinning. I found myself thinking of other things besides talking to him as I hurried on to my next class. Government was next in this room there was that smell again. Then I figured out where it was coming from, I hurried up and made sure that my shields were up tight enough that she couldn't get anything out of me.

Out of the corner of my eye I had noticed that a girl had a horrified look on her face, it almost made me smile. I handed my paper over to this teacher as well and again she just signed it then dismissed me to the back of the class. It was a very boring lecture on things that I couldn't even concentrate on. All through the class I kept my eyes down on my notes, making sure that I took very careful notes so that I could look back later and maybe understand them. Through out the class I kept feeling someone trying to get past my shield that made me grin. Then as soon as the bell rang I ran out of the class room, hoping that she would not follow me out and walked on to my next class.

The next two classes were less difficult although my Trig teacher made me stand in front of the class and give and introduction. This was hard because there were a lot of things about me that I had to keep locked inside, but I finally made a new friend, her name was Jessica, she was pretty in a human since, and no taller than five foot, her dirty blonde hair flowed down to about the middle of her back. She had both trig and Spanish with me, plus she walked with me to lunch insisting that I sat with her and her friends since I was the new girl on campus. I agreed, this might make it easier to try to figure out if I can handle being close to people again.

I walked in the lunch room and instantly saw the girl from my government class sitting at a table on the far side of the room with four other people. Making sure my shield was up as strong as it could to protect me I walked into the room with Jessica. The thing about being a vampire is that you have very good hearing, so as soon as I walked in the lunch room I focused on this group of people so that I could hear the conversation that they were having.

"Alice are you sure you can't get anything from her?" said one of the men. Alice was sitting in the middle of the group. She was more pixie like than vampire in my opinion. She didn't look much taller than five foot either. Her short hair was spiked coming out all over her head.

"I tried all class and it was like I was running into a brick wall, but there is something more than that," she pauses and looks over in my direction. "Look for yourselves, she's sitting with the humans as if she is one of them herself."

"Alice are you sure that she's one of us?" Another of the men asked. He was the biggest of the group and from the looks of it probably the strongest.

"Emmett listen to me," she said as she turned towards him, "I am positive, but I don't know where she came from or who she is other than Bella Swan."

"Well let me see if I can read anything off of her?" The youngest looking male of the group said as he turned around to look at me. He was the hottest of the group with messy bronze hair, and an average build. But even from the distance I could see the look of anger in his eyes, my shield started feeling the attack, his attacks were much stronger than Alice's were which meant that they were mental, so probably mind reader. His attacks were strong enough that I had to put my hand to my head and try not to think about it.

"I'm getting nothing," he finally said with an attitude, you could tell that this had never happened to him before. "Has anyone looked at her eyes?"

"Edward it's not your fault you can't read her either, and no I haven't she keeps putting her head down so that we can't look at her," the other female spoke for the first time. I looked up at her briefly, and she looked like she belonged on the cover of Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Edition, or on the runways. "Jasper?" she turned to the last male of the group.

"Rose, if they can't get anything really what do you think I'm going to get?" Jasper said with a sigh. Then I felt another attack, this one not as strong as the last but a little stronger than Alice. I smiled to myself, why are they trying so hard to get past my shields? I kept thinking.

"Bella?" a voice much closer to me asked.

I looked up at her and smiled, "Yes Jessica?"

"Are you okay? The Cullen's and Hale's keep looking over here like they are going to start a fight with you." She said showing just the slightest bit of fear.

"It's okay Jess, I don't even know them, why would they want to attack me?" I said, "I've just got a headache, so I'm going to lay my head back down."

"Jessica," I heard Edward say, "Her mind shows that Bella has brown eyes but I don't know how that is possible."

I lowered my shields just enough to shout in my mind, mind your own fucking business and stop attacking me. I threw my shields over the whole table this time just in time for him to turn around and look at me pissed. So I extended my shields out to the whole school, then his look turned to being stunned and showing a little fear. I laughed when he turned around and said, "Now I can't get anything from any one." The other two followed with a "Me too."

"Jessica I'm going to class. I will talk to you later." I said as I ran out of the room. No one followed me at first but then I could feel them trying to catch up with me.

"Where did she go Edward?" Alice asked sounding a little worried.

"I DON'T KNOW!" he said obviously back to being pissed off.

"Do we think that she can be a threat?" asked Emmett. I shivered at the thought of being thought of as their enemy but what else could I do but run? I was seriously out numbered even though I knew how to fight very well. No, wait, I thought to myself, I can talk to them here at school, they are not going to jeopardize what they have here either. I think that today was a bad day to try though and walked off to my next class.

Biology was my next class and as soon as I walked through the door I realized what a danger that could be. I walked over and handed my paper to the teacher and had him sign it then I went over and took the last seat in class.

The last seat just happened to be next to Edward Cullen. I took my seat with out even looking at him. I could feel his presents near by, it was unlike anything that I had ever felt before. It felt like an electric current flowing between us. I took a moment and looked at him wondering if he was looking at me too, he was. I hurried and looked at the teacher who was writing on the blackboard. So I started to take very good notes even though this was already something that I knew.

As the class went on I started to feel him try to get through my shield that made me smile. I still couldn't figure out what was his deal and why it meant so much to him that he knows what I was thinking. I lowered my shield just the slightest and thought please stop doing that, its really annoying and it wont work, all you are going to do is piss me off. Then put my shield back into place.

As soon as the bell rang another brave guy walked over to me and introduced himself. "Hello, my name is Mike."

"Hello, Mike. My name is Bella Swan." I said as I got up to start walking towards the door. Only after that did Edward get up. "Mike what class do you have next?"

"Gym."

"That's awesome, that is what I have next too. Do you care to walk with me to class?" I asked him as I turned around to see what Edward was planning on doing. He halted as he heard my question. He was just trying to get me alone.

"Sure, let's go." He said with out a second thought. With that Edward turned around and walked in the opposite direction, I couldn't believe that this was going to be that easier than I thought. The teacher in gym found me some clothes to wear but did not make me dress down today, instead he made me watch four volleyball games that were going at the same time thinking about what had happened today.

What was the deal with the electric shocks that kept going between Edward and me, and why did he need to see what is inside my head so badly?
