NPOV

It was a cloudy, windy day and the students of Forks high school were about to be let out. Parked outside in a green Mercedes sat a figure wearing strange, dark, clothes. He seemed out of place, with his expensive looking clothes and his posh car amongst all the other scraped and scratched ones. He tapped his long, elegant pale figures impatiently on the dashboard, waiting for her to emerge. Has she figured it out yet? Have they? He asked himself, frowning slightly.

Just then the bell rang, signalling the end of the school day and soon the car park was filled with pupils racing to get home. He watched out of the corner of his eye waiting for someone to come out. He turned his body slightly so he could see better when a group of four, pallid pupils emerged walking with a almost catlike grace towards a silver Volvo. All of them had slightly worried looks on their faces.

Then he noticed a fragile looking girl, with long brown hair come out. He studied her intently and notice her glance over repeatedly at the four, who had by now reached the car. The small petite girl with short spiky black hair, quickly glanced over at her before climbing in. But the girl by the truck didn't seem to notice. When they drove off the girl sighed and made to get into the huge old red truck.

He smiled, not yet apparently. He watched as she climbed in and drove off. He turned on the ignition and followed, careful to stay a few cars behind, but never losing sight of the truck. Soon though… soon. His plan was falling into place. He smiled, showing his deadly, white teeth.

Bella's POV

Edward didn't come back to school, till Monday. All the while I had the strange feeling that I was being watched. But I ignored it. Edwards absence worried me even though I knew why, and that he would come back soon. Every lunch I glance hopefully at their table, only to be disappointed. Occasionally I saw Alice glance over, briefly. I was careful to be discrete and pretend not to notice. I don't think I fooled any of them. Mike followed me around like a faithful puppy and invited me to a trip to La Push in two weeks. I knew this would be breaking the treaty, but hadn't I decided to stick to what had happened originally as close as I could? They wouldn't notice would they? I had fooled the Cullen's after all. I told Mike I would think about it and left it at that. I still had reached no decision over whether or not to tell them by Monday. The day Edward was meant to return. The weekend had passed in an uneventful blur. I cleaned, did homework and tried to figure out how I had got here. I was still no closer however and I was starting to get anxious. What if I was stuck here?

Edward's POV

"I'll be okay." I tried to reassure Esme. I had returned the night before, determined not to let one little human get the best of me, to undermine all I, we had worked for. I had decided to go to school, despite my families protests, all except Alice seemed worried and I wondered what she had seen.

It began snowing as we drove to school. It was beautiful. We would of course have to dress up, which annoyed me endlessly. I hated having to pretend. I wanted just to be me. They would be scared and probably chase you out of town. I reminded myself bitterly. Then the snow stopped, I sighed disappointed. "It will snow again." Alice said from the back confidently. It was handy having a psychic sometimes.

She was right, right as lessons ended for lunch it stared to snow. We started chucking snowballs everywhere, careful to limit our abilities. As we entered the cafeteria I was reminded by Rosaline to brush the snow flakes out of my hair. We sat down at our usual table laughing. Then Emmett shook his hair, trying to get us wet. I was still laughing when I heard Jessica ask as clear as if she was next to me. "Bella what are you staring at?" then a few seconds later "Oh at Edward, of course, she looks over there everyday, stupid idiot" She thought. I stopped listening as her thoughts became meaner and fought the ridiculous urge to protect this girl.

I glanced over at her curious and when she noticed she dropped her gaze letting her hair fall over her face, blushing. "Edward Cullen is staring at you" Jessica said giggling. Stupid Bella, why her? I'm prettier than her. "He doesn't look angry does he?" Bella asked confusing me.

"No… should he be?" replied Jessica sounding as puzzled as I was.

"I don't think he likes me." Bella said resting her head on her arms. I let their voices drift off into the background and wondered what she meant.

When I walked into biology she was already sitting there. As I sat down I stiffened as I smelt her delicious scent. I smiled determined to be friendly. "My name is Edward Cullen." I said " I didn't have the chance to introduce myself last week. You must be Bella Swan."

"Hi" she said quietly studying me intently. I shifted uncomfortable. Mr Banner described the task we were meant to do which was tediously easy then left us to it. Still determined to be polite I said " Ladies first partner." gesturing for her to start. She continued to stare at me " Or I could go first" I offered uncertain.

"No… I'll go ahead" she said looking faintly embarrassed; she then took a brief glance at the slide and declared confidently "Prophase"

"Do you mind?" I asked indicating I wanted to look at the slide. She nodded, I glanced at it noted that she was right and wrote it down, before moving on to the next one. The lesson continued to progress this way and we finished miles before anyone else. Then she blurted out suddenly " Did you get contacts?"

"No" I replied cursing how observant she was. Mr Banner then came over to see why we weren't working and when he saw the sheet completed checked the answers. "So Edward you didn't think Isabella should get a turn with the microscope?"

" Bella" I corrected "actually she identified three of the slides" muttering he walked away. I asked Bella some questions to see if it would help me to hear her thoughts, but her answers only left me more and more puzzled. She didn't seem like a seventeen year old girl. Her scent was almost to much to stand and I gripped the edge of the table almost hard enough to break. I thought I wouldn't make it. I could feel more and more venom pooling into my mouth. As soon as the bell went I rushed out of the classroom. Saved by the bell, i thought. I would need to hunt tonight.
