Chapter 7: Edward Cullen

Today was going to be torture.

Going to a school filed to the rim with humans.

This is worse than Boise.

I hope I can contain myself…I HAVE to.

No doubt about it.

Bella, you need to stop worrying and get ready.

As I stepped into the shower, I heard my mother humming to some Christmas song. Strange…

I let out a small gasp as the warm water poured over my granite-like skin. This was one of the things I hated about being a vampire.

No warmth.

Stepping out of the shower, I decided I needed to look good for my first day of school.

Since my clothes look like those of these Cullen kids, maybe I won't look to out of the ordinary.

I decided to go with a black, tight designer blouse, another pair of Faded Glory skinny jeans, leather, Gucci pumps, and my long, gold purse.

"Mom! I'm going to school!" I yelled over my shoulder, heading for the door.

"Okay snukums, see you later!" She yelled from the kitchen.

Ouch. She could've whispered, it's not like I don't have good hearing.

I hope people don't stare.

As I pulled into the school parking lot, I let out a stifled gasp.

Everyone's cars are old. Pick-ups, old Toyota's. Great.

No avoiding being noticed even more.

YES!

There's a shiny, silver Volvo and a red Convertible. Is that the Cullens?!

Well, they like style, and fast cars. Like me.

WHAT? Why are you thinking like that, Bella? Remember your vampire phobia?!

Whatever. I'll just leave them to themselves.

Stepping out of my car, I swear I heard about twenty necks crack. These human students immediately snapped their heads in my direction once they heard my car pull up and the rock music pouring out the window.

Good job, Bella. Way to look inconspicuous.

About fifteen guys swarmed behind me as I walked to the Office.

Man. Why me?!

I heard a bunch of things pouring out of their mouths such as "Who are you?", "Hey, beautiful! Want to go out?" to "Wow! You look so much like the Cullens…"

WHO are these Cullens?

"Hello. I'm here to pick up my school stuff." I quickly said to the maternal-looking secretary behind the desk.

"Huh? Oh! Isabella Swan, correct?" She asked, a smirk growing on her face.

"Bella Swan." I impulsely corrected.

"Yes. Here you go. Have a nice first day! Oh, and get this slip signed by all your teachers," She sighed, handing me my supplies.

"Okay. I'll bring it back to you at the end of the day." I replied, walking out the door.

As I walked to my first class, English, I was followed by a mob of boys, and glares from girls. Great. That's just how I wanted to start my school year.

My first two periods past by in a flash, leaving one more period before lunch, Biology.

As I walked up to the Biology teacher, Mr. Varner, I quietly prayed that my luck would continue and he wouldn't introduce me in front of the class.

My luck was squashed.

"Hello, class," He began, "This is our new student, Isabella Swan. Please treat her kindly as it is her first day. If she needs help, please don't hesitate."

"Um, Mr. Varner, it's okay. I've already done this before." I bit my lip to stop myself from continuing to spill out my life to these mere humans.

That would definitely not be a good idea.

"Please go sit next to Mr. Cullen. The one in the center. The only empty seat."

Okay, I know I'm new, but that doesn't mean I'm dumb!

I know an empty seat when I see one.

Cullen?!

EPOV

As I pulled up to my usual parking spot, I stared in amazement at what was coming into the parking lot.

It was a Koenigsegg CCX. A very expensive, very fast car.

Apparently one of thesee townsfolk has good taste.

But who in this tiny little country town could afford that?

It's not Lauren's little mini Cooper, and it's definitely not Tanya's pink Jeep.

Who's car is it then?

Walking to class, I heard a lot of whispers about some new girl who looked like us Cullens.

I think her name was Isabella?

Whatever, I can't let my mind dwindle to one of these humans.

Entering Biology, I watched a pale girl talking to Mr. Varner. She looked beautiful from what I could see of her.

She looked rich, considering her Gucci boots, designer blouse and purse, and jeans.

Great. Alice must be rubbing off on me!

That little oniomaniac… (oniomaniac=shopaholic)

I think this little, beautiful human is gracing me with her presence by sitting next to me. How perfect.

"Hello, class," Mr. Varner began, "This is our new student, Isabella Swan. Please treat her kindly as it is her first day. If she needs help, please don't hesitate."

Wait...Isabella?!

As I looked up, I was hit by a sudden rush of wind.

Ignoring all of these humans putred scents, I foceused on the girl before me.

Immediately followed by the wind, her scent hit me, and it hit me hard.

Floral...Freesia!

Oh no…it's the vampire from the forest!

"Um, Mr. Varner, it's okay. I've already done this before." Isabella stated, biting her lip.

I can't believe it's the vampire from the forests of Boise…

What will she say to me? What will I say to her? Will she even recognize me?

What a great Monday.

BPOV

I began at the slow human pace to my seat.

Who am I sitting next to? Why won't he look at me? Who is he?

Bella, Bella, Bella. Why do you even care what this weak human thinks or does?

As I sat down, I felt everyone's eyes bore into my back. Why can't this stupid, weak race just stop STARING?!

"Class, we will be beginning this lab," Mr. Varner then pointed to the overhead projector's lesson, "Work with your partner and come up with the correct placements."

The teacher looked at me with a questioning look, and I just nodded.

In my age, I've done this lab at least five times.

"Um…ladies' first?" I heard a silky smooth, velvet voice coming from my 'partner'.

I looked up to stare at him, and he was doing the same thing.

Wait…ocher eyes? Humans don't have those colored eyes! Vampire.

Why are there so many vampires here? Including me, that's 1…2…3…4…5…10! Including him, that'd be 11.

What, do us vampires make up half this town's stinkin' population?!

"Umm…I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself, I'm Edward Cullen." He smugly stated.

"I'm-I'm Bella Swan." I stuttered.

Great. I probably sounded like a love-struck mental teenager.

And I was most definitely older than that.

Wait. Edward Cullen? SO this is one of the Cullen kids! Not only a Cullen kid, but-but. Oh no.

He was the one…the one…

Sorry to end it there, but you'll get an extra long chapter tomorrow, as a Christmas treat!
