First chapter in EPOV! Yay!
Read on!:D
EPOV (third period)
God, could life be any more boring? I was sitting beside Jasper in Social Studies, letting my mind drift off. I thought about what was going on next month…
Tanya and her family were coming over for a visit to see Carlisle…That was the cover story, of course.
I sighed. My family had been trying for the past 50 years to "hook me up" with Tanya or one of her sisters (Kate, Irina and Miranda. There was also Carmen, but she was with Elzear.). Thing is, I didn't want any of them. Sure they were beautiful, smart and funny, but…they just weren't right for me. The only one that didn't want me was Miranda.
She was amazing, and like the sister I never had. She had moved in with Tanya and her family a few years ago. Whenever she would come along, she would stay by my side and keep Tanya from literally raping me. Tanya was very persistent, and I swear if it wasn't for Miranda, she would have "attacked" me by now.
I owed her.
Big time.
It's not like I didn't like Tanya, it was just that she seemed more like a sister or a friend than a…mate. Well, a sister who tried to rape me would be a good description. I've been trying countless times to tell her, in a gentlemen way, that I did not return her affection, but she just ignores it and keeps going.
Her other sisters had gotten the hint after there third visit, in which I was grateful. But Tanya…yikes.
Suddenly, I remembered something…for the past year; Alice had made no attempt at bringing me closer to Tanya…strange. Usually she would be the one behind the whole setup.
My thoughts were interrupted suddenly by Jasper nudging me in the side.
Dude, are you ok?
He was looking from the side of his eye waiting for a reply. I sternly nodded my head and looked back to the front of the class, pretending to be attentive.
By the way, did you hear about the new student?
I looked at him confused. Why would he care?
She's also one of us. Apparently, she's already good friends with Alice. And to be honest, she's quite nice. I talked to her during Geometry. She's pretty cool.
He replayed what happened during Geometry and I was having trouble containing my laughter. I kind of felt bad for Bella.
And then in his mind, she turned her head to look at Jasper and my breath caught.
She had long dark wavy hair that fell to mid-back, beautiful figure, her eyes may be the same color has the other vampires, but I could get lost in them for hours…
She was…there were no words to describe her…
Breathtaking. Even that wasn't enough.
Jasper was smirking beside me, but when I tried to read his mind, he was blocking me. Strange…I didn't have time to ask him why he was blocking me, because the bell rang signaling us that we could head to the cafeteria.
Just to give you a heads up, Alice invited Bella to come sit with us at lunch.
For some reason, lunch just became my favorite part of the day.
I grabbed my books and made my way to the lunchroom. I went in the cafeteria line to grab my props. Halfway through the girl in front of me turned around and gasped when she saw who it was, and so did I. Great. It was Lauren Mallory. She was one of the girls in school that were trying to gain my interest in them…
If only they knew how lucky they were that I did not like them back
Mmmmmm! God he is H. O. T!
"Hey, Eddie! Do you want to eat with us today?" She asked me in a seductive voice…or what she thought sounded seductive…
"No thank you, Lauren. I'm eating with my family." I told her in a polite tone. No use growling at her…she'd probably think it was sexy…Ew.
"Maybe we can get together another time…" She purred at me and walked away. I grimaced and shook my head in frustration. Why couldn't she just take the hint or keep away?
I sighed and started to walk over to my table forgetting completely about the food. My head was dropped, and has soon as I lifted it up, I halted briskly in my tracks.
She was there.
At our table.
Without even noticing, a smile spread across my face, and I made my way over to her where she was gasping for air from Emmett's bear hug. I chuckled. He really did resemble a bear in more than one way…
I stood behind her, waiting for her to turn around so I could introduce myself, but Alice was too impatient for some reason.
She tapped her shoulder, making Bella turn around. She looked at Alice first, and then when she saw me she…gasped? I smiled crookedly at her and offered my hand while introducing myself. As soon as my hand connected with hers…I swear it was like an electric current zap through were out hands touched…and I loved the feeling of it.
-"And I'm Edward. Edward Cullen. It's a pleasure too meet you Bella." Dawm right it was. She smiled the most heartbreaking smile, and literally took my breath away…
BPOV
He took my hand and led me to their table, and sat down.
Touching his hand was like sending an electric current down my spine…in a very good way…
Everyone smiled at me before they started talking about various subjects, like when they were going hunting this weekend, and forcing me to come along, and a few other subjects I dint concentrate on…
I was too busy focusing on Edward.
I kept stealing glances at him beside me, and sometimes looked back quickly, because sometimes I caught him looking back at me too…
After a few long minutes, I decided to steal one last glance at him. I quickly regretted it. He was looking at me too. With one difference. I couldn't look away. He held my gaze with so much intensity, that I swear if something would have blown up, I wouldn't have noticed…His eyes pierced mine with curiosity, frustration and…another emotion I couldn't detect.
We kept looking at each other intensely until someone hit Edward on the shoulder and cleared there throat. I looked away from Edward to see it had been Emmett. Why did he have to interrupt us now?! I glared at him while he talked loud enough for the whole school to hear.
-"What are you staring at, Eddie boy?! Does Bellie have something on her face or are you having a staring contest I wasn't informed about?" He yelled while wearing a huge grin on his face. If I would have been human, I would have been redder than a tomato. I groaned. Why did he have to do that? I looked up to see the entire family smirking at me except Edward who was looking away.
I couldn't see his face, but I saw from the corner of his head that he was smiling.
We kept talking the rest of lunch (Well, everyone did while I inhumanely forced myself not to look at Edward.) about various topics until the bell rang.
-"I'll see you after school, Bells!" I turned my head to see Alice waving at me before she disappeared. I smiled and waved back. I dumped my tray in the garbage and walked out of the cafeteria. I stepped out into the mist and relished the feeling of it on my skin. I was just light enough that it didn't soak my skin, but just enough to cleanse it. It felt great. I was about to enter the Science building when all of a sudden, someone taped on my shoulder. I slowly turned around and was met by Mike. Crap.
-"Where are you headed, gorgeous?" He asked huskily. What the hell had gotten into him? Lust and excitement were clouding his eyes completely. I narrowed my eyes at him and growled by accident.
-"Mmmmm…I like em' feisty." He said grabbing me by the waste. If he kept going, I swear he was going to die. By me hand…or by the car that was close to me.
-"Get. Your. Hands. Off. ME!" I screeched at him. He didn't listen to me, instead he started to lead me to a car, but about half way there a pale hand grabbed his shoulder and stopped him. Mike got irritated and started to complain at whoever saved me until he saw who it was. I became confused, and turned my head to look over my shoulder to see my savior.
Edward.
He was gripping Mike's shoulder so hard I swear it would break, and was giving him the scariest look I had ever seen. He stared down Mike and finally spoke in his voice, only it wasn't the velvety one, instead, it was filled with such venom it was unrecognizable…And even then, He was the most handsome person (or should I say, living god) I had ever laid eyes on…
-"Mike, I'm going to say this once, and only once, and if you know what's good for you, you'll listen. GET. YOUR. FUCKING. HANDS. OFF HER!!!" He screamed the last part at him. Mike immediately got scared and let go of my jacket, and ran the opposite way, tripping numerous times in his rush. I chuckled until I saw Edward's expression. It was pure fury. I took a step back, a tad scared, and quietly asked "Are you ok?" He looked back at me and his expression quickly changed to worry.
-"I should be the one asking you that question. Are you ok?" He placed his hand on my cheek at the last part and searched my eyes. I restrained myself from leaning into his hand, because it wasn't normal what he did to me…Wait. I didn't even know him!
I nodded my head, realizing he was waiting for an answer. He smiled a crooked smile at me that immediately became my favorite smile. He removed his hand from my face and I immediately missed his touch.
-"Common. Were going to be late if we don't hurry." He said tilting his head towards the Science building. I smiled and started to walk along side of him towards Biology. Then something hit me (not literally).
-"How did you know my next class is Biology?" I whispered while entering the building.
He looked away guiltily for a moment but composed his face quickly. He looked at me in the eyes, once again making my head swim, and answered before entering the Biology room. "I saw you walking towards it before Mike got to you..." He said trailing off and his face was once again filled with the same fury I had seen before outside. But as we entered the room, he quickly composed his face and went to sit down at a desk in the back of the room. I made my way to the teacher's desk and made him sign my sheet.
-"There's an empty seat in the back of the room beside Cullen. Hurry, the bell is about to ring." He said dismissing me. I made my way to the back of the room and sat down beside Edward pretending to be ignoring him. Once the bell rang, I looked over to him in time to see him pointing to his mind. For a second I was confused until I realized what he meant. I enveloped his mind, and at the same time, the teacher pulled out a TV and a VCR and turned off the lights.
This is going to be boring…might as well "talk". He chuckled quietly.
Just then the video came on, but I couldn't concentrate with Adonis beside me, so I took his advice.
Lemme guess…Alice told you about my "gift"?
He looked sideways at me, smiled and nodded.
Well, the term "told" isn't exactly it…but yes, you have it pretty much…
His face suddenly went frustrated again and then I realized something…all those things I had been thinking about him…AWWW SHIT! Awww hell!…but then, why was he talking to me like he didn't know anything?
It's weird though…I can hear everyone's mind, except yours…It's been frustrating me since lunch…
THANK. FREAKING. GOD! If it wasn't for the fact that I was in a class full of students, I would have been doing a happy dance by now. I made my hands fist up and crossed them under my arms and held them there with a lot of force. I snuck a look at Edward to see he was in the same position as me. He smirked down at me and then looked back to the front of the classroom.
I still can't hear it. Only the messages you send me…
I nodded and was relieved at the same time. If he had heard what I had been thinking of him…he'd probably be running for the hills by now…
My thoughts are complicated…be grateful. I definitely was.
Actually, I find you…mysterious. And very interesting…I'd love to learn more about you…He "said" while smiling at me.
And I could tell he was being sincere. I smiled back at him and told him something honest myself.
I'd love to learn more about you too…maybe once I become 18, well to the others anyways, I can move out of my…dad's…place, and get my own apartment, and maybe we can hang out more often…If you'd like that, anyways… I said the last part looking away…
Suddenly, I felt a hand on my chin and he moved my face towards him where he was leaning over a bit and made me look straight in his beautiful eyes. He literally took my breath away…
There is nothing I'd love more than spend time with you Bella.
I could tell by his mind and eyes how sincere he was being…And then his words sunk in and I would have been jumping up and down screaming "Wahoo!" if it wasn't for his hand caressing my face…
…Did my heart just start beathing?
Heart stopping ending! XD! I'll update fast, promise! oh, and for the confusion, no she doesnt mean it literaly. Shes just exagerating when she says that last part. Sry if theres any confusion!
