Ok so if you are not familiar with Charmed it is an old TV show that still, actually, comes on TNT. It started to come on in the 90's and stopped sometime in the 2000's, I'm not sure, but I guess it isn't that old. Go check it out. I love that show and that's where I got Bella's powers from, but in the show there are three sisters that are 'charmed' and they kill demons. I didn't want demons in my story and I still wanted Bella to be an only child.

Alright I'm done talking. Let's get back to the story, shall we?

4. Witch and Wolf Friends Again

I was only about a minute late.

So when I walked in the class I looked around and out of everyone who was looking at me I saw two familiar faces as I walked to Mr. Banner's desk. It was Jessica and Mike.

I also saw Edward Cullen with an empty seat next to him.

I walked up to Mr. Banner to tell him my name and that I'm new, but unlike my pervious teachers he already knew about me.

"Ah, Miss Isabella Swan", he said with a smile while holding out his hand, "I'm Mr. Banner."

"It's just Bella", I said taking his hand.

"Well 'just Bella'….", he said, "You'll be sitting next to Edward Cullen, or 'just Edward' if you prefer."

I kind of wanted to laugh at first because I've been telling everyone, all day, numerous times that 'it's just Bella' and he is the very first one to actually say that lame joke.

Wow.

Then I wanted to make a rude comment that might have got me sent to the principal's office- and I didn't need that on my very first day- because of that last comment he made about Edward's name.

So I just smiled at him, but when I turned away from him my smile was quickly gone. He's definitely not favorite teacher right now.

I walked to my new assigned seat and as I got closer and closer I noticed Edward moving farther and farther away from my chair before I even sat down.

He must be one of those antisocial people or something, I thought, or one of those people who only talk to his family and don't really like to talk to other people.

I don't know.

Then I sat down and class began and that same strange vibe I always got when I saw-or was near- a Cullen was nagging at me.

Maybe I was just crazy and making up things-even thought I don't know why I would make this up- or maybe my powers were growing. I really hope it's the second option.

Every once and a while it kind of felt like someone was staring at me and when I would look at Edward-and it seemed like involuntary movement-I would catch him looking at me with this look that looked like he was concentrating on something very hard, just like Alice today in Spanish class. Then he would look away very quickly after a few seconds.

I got bored towards the end of class so I just started to have a little fun with Mr. Banner.

I used my telekinesis and freezing power the most. I would freeze the whole class then wave my hand and place the marker to the blackboard somewhere else and when I would unfreeze everything Mr. Banner would spend about five minutes looking for the marker until he finally got out a different marker. It was funny the first three times, but by the forth it was really boring.

Then the bell finally rang and I was so happy. I turned my back on Edward facing the door to leave, but still sitting down packing up my stuff.

Mike wanted to walk me to my forth, but I turned him down. He was very persistent until about the sixth time when he got finally hint. He then finally left me alone and went to his class and there was only about three people were left in the room, including me.

"What are you?" I heard someone whisper very low behind me and since Edward was the one I was sitting with I knew it was him.

"Excuse me?" I asked him while turning around to see him staring straight at me, his golden-or more topaz-eyes gazing right into my brown ones. He looked like he was concentrating on something very hard again, until he heard my question then his face went blank.

"I said how are you? You must be the famous Bella Swan?" he said smoothly.

"Oh….um….yea", I said not buying it and I'm pretty sure he heard it in my voice because when I answered him he had an undefined looked on his face and walk out of the room.

I then realized that I had one more class to go to, gym. Then I got up and headed for gym.

Usually I hated gym, but since I have an advantage I guess I could learn to love it.

Or not.

I hated gym. Mostly because of Lauren Mallory. She kept on 'accidently' hitting me in the head with volleyballs. I was pissed walking from the locker room to my truck.

I was going to use my powers, but I couldn't without getting caught because everyone eyes was always on-probably wondering when I was going to get hit in the head again.

When I sat in the cab of my truck I then realized that I could have used my powers. I originally wanted to use my telekinesis power, but I could have used my freezing power and froze everything and moved to the side when unfroze everything and it would have looked like she had missed.

"Ugh!" I said, smacking the palm of my hand to my forehead. "God, I'm dumb", I added with a whisper.

Whatever, I thought, it's over now. Even though I can turn back time and-

No, no, no I won't turn back time. I'll save that for a much better use.

And with that thought I drove home.

When I got home I saw that Charlie wasn't here yet. And he probably won't be back till later on tonight, I thought.

It was pretty boring so I just did my homework-and still can't believe they actually gave me homework, aren't they suppose to wait until at least I catch up with all the other students?

I guess not.

So I did my homework, which I had in every class except gym, without complaint and when I was done Charlie still wasn't home, but it was only 7:30. I don't know why I thought he'll be here when I got home.

He's probably going to pull an all-nighter and won't be back till real late, I thought and when that thought came so did a big smile on my face.

"When daddy's away, the witch will play", I said still smiling whispering. Or 'practice', he and Renee likes to call it.

I closed my eyes and thought the kitchen and when I opened my eyes I was there.

"Orbing, check", I said while walking to the refrigerator.

I opened the refrigerator to find that it hardly had any food in there. I have to make a note to go to the Thriftway sometime this week, but I did find watermelon. It was a pretty big one too.

Since when does Charlie eat watermelon? I thought. Or any fruit really?

He doesn't. So he wouldn't mind if I take it.

I pickup the watermelon-and you'd think that since it looked rather big that it would be pretty heavy, but it wasn't-and headed outside to the back.

I was standing in the doorway to the backyard and saw that it was getting kind of dark out.

Perfect. Just the way I like it.

Then I orbed to the middle of the backyard with the door behind me. I put the watermelon down on the ground and stepped back a few feet.

I lifted up my right hand and slid it on thin air to the left and the watermelon slid with it. I did the same with my left hand, sliding it to the right and the watermelon went along with it.

Then when the watermelon was back in its original place where it started, I put my hands on my hips and gave the watermelon a look-kind of annoyed that I'm doing such baby things.

My eyebrows rose when I realized that I still didn't practice my freezing power.

So, using my telekinesis power, I raised my right hand in the air, and the watermelon went with it, until my hand was fully over my head. "Concentrate", I said then I dropped my hand and the watermelon was dropping too.

"Bells?" I heard Charlie call from the inside of the house, scaring me, and everything happened so fast.

Charlie called my name, I turned around, and all ten of my fingers flicked outward all at the same time.

Before I knew it I was covered in watermelon seeds and juice and mushy chunks and skin and so was the backyard.

"Oh no, no, no, no, no", I said really fast in a whiney, whispering voice and adding, "Charlie's gonna kill me."

Maybe Charlie didn't hear the exploding watermelon because I was in the backyard covered in watermelon for at least a good two minutes until I finally came up with a spell hoping that it would work for more than just bad complexion.

"Let the object of objection become but I dream as a cause the scene to be unseen."

And in a blink of an eye all the watermelon was gone from off the ground of the backyard and off of me.

"Oh my god", I said with a whisper then added, a little bit louder than my regular tone of voice, "Oh my god."

I was so surprised because I never ever used one spell for two completely different things. So once again that 'I did a spell and it came out exactly the way I wanted it to' smile was on my face, which is something that I had to stop doing before Charlie start catching on.

I orbed in the house to find Charlie in the kitchen setting down some takeout on the table.

Just like the night before we ate, watched TV, talked a bit, then I went upstairs to call it a night.

I went to sleep around 10:30 that night and woke up to the annoying buzzing sound of my alarm clock.

Everything that happened in school that day was pretty much the same as my first day.

I got there, Eric walked me to my first period only, got stares from everyone again that seem to be getting less and less by the day, got the strange looks and vibe from the Cullens, got more homework, continued to use more and more of my magic in school not getting caught, and go home.

It was pretty much like that for the rest of the week, and sometime during the week I did go to the Thriftway.

Me and Alice seem to be talking more and more and it kind of felt like we were forming a friendship and it kind of feels good. She's definitely like no one I have ever met before.

Edward was as weird as ever and we hardly talked. The only times we did talk was when we were forced to do a lab together and, even though I hate to admit it, it kind of felt nice for some reason. I wanted to dislike him because every time I would sit down he would always move his seat farther away from me like I stink or some and to be honest it kind of made me feel self-conscience, but somewhere deep inside of me I couldn't dislike him.

Maybe it was because every time I caught him staring at me we would lock eyes for at least 30 seconds, and to stare into those beautiful topaz eyes was just………just something else. I couldn't explain it.

Edward was always the one that broke first from our 'eye lock'-if you will- and when he would turn his head I would still just stare at him analyzing each and every detail there was to analyze on the side of his face, until I would eventually catch myself and face forward to the front of the classroom.

From us locking eyes in Biology, to him in the parking lot, to him and his family at lunch, and every other time I would see him was just flooding my head. Different images of him and his family just in my head all the time.

"I'm not obsessed. I know that there is something different about them, but what?" I whispered to myself while lying in my bed fully clothed-including sneakers-looking at my ceiling.

It was Saturday and me and Jacob is suppose to meet up together to finally hang out. He's coming to pick me up in his now –finally-finished car he's been working on and we're going to the beach

Me and Jake used to always hang out when we were younger until I moved to Phoenix, but even still then we always kept in contact through the phone and emailing. For some reason we stopped talking and writing to each other about six months ago.

I told him a really long time ago that I was a witch. His reaction was funny because he didn't know how to react and he just kept on stuttering and stammering. It was hilarious. I also remember when he told me he was a wolf.

I had came and visited on day and we were walking up and down the beach and then he just told me, or I supposedly 'figured it out on my own', we never did really agree on how I now know he's a wolf. He also told me all of the old legends and stories about his family and how the whole werewolf thing started. It was pretty cool and very interesting.

"BEEP, BEEP, BEEP." A loud honking noise coming from right inside the house made.

"About time", I whispered getting up and running downstairs and opened the door to see Jake getting out of the Rabbit walking towards me.

I can't believe how big he's gotten seen the last time I've seen him. He's huge now-at least past six foot-and his body was very toned and muscular, but his skin was the same dark-toned russet skin of his that I remembered and his hair was cropped short.

I smiled very big and ran straight to him and he caught me in his big arms.

"Missed me much?" he asked teasingly.

"You know I did Jake and I know you missed me. God, how have you've been?"I asked as we let go of our hug and walked to the Rabbit.

"I've been good…..kinda itchy, but good", he laughed.

Then we were in the Rabbit headed towards the beach.

"That's right. How's wolf life treating you wolf boy? Or should I say wolf 'teen'? What are you like 15 now?" I teased.

He laughed. "I'm 16 and it's good. Very freeing, but hey how about you? How are you? How's the witch life treating you?"

It was my turn to laugh. "I'm good and my witch life is great. God I love being a witch. You know, I have the best powers?"

"Yeah actually I do. I mean sure you can't fly or something cool like that, but…." he said shrugging with a tiny smile playing at his lips telling me he was joking.

"But being able to orb where ever I want definitely replaces that", I finished for him.

"Yea sure….I mean I guess", he said pulling over near the beach.

We sat there in the Rabbit just staring at the beach until I finally broke the silence.

"Is it me or has the beach gotten smaller?" I asked, giving the beach a look.

"It isn't you", he said getting out and I followed suit.

We walked up and down the beach at least three times talking about nothing. We were mostly just talking about our past and how much we have grown and just really reminiscing.

It got dark pretty quick to me and we decided to was time to head back. I suggested that we should go to my house, watch a movie, and eat ice cream-something we used to do a lot when we were kids-and he was happy to come over.

When we got back to the house I saw that Charlie wasn't home. He's probably at work. Pulling an all-nighter I thought when I looked at my cell phone to see that it was 8:05pm.

Jake got comfortable on the couch while I headed to the freezer to get two pints of ice-cream and two spoons from the drawer.

I went to the living room and saw that Jake already had a movie playing. I wasn't really sure the movie was called, but I do know that it had a lot of action in it and vampires.

I tossed Jake the strawberry ice cream-his favorite-and a spoon and sat down next to him on the couch with the chocolate ice-cream and spoon.

During the movie there was a scene of this very cute vampire with pale skin and these eyes a beautiful color and I automatically thought of Edward.

"Hey…..do……do you know….the Cullens?" I asked Jake not sure if he's the right person I should be asking about the Cullens, but Jake knew a lot of old stories and legends passed down from his father, werewolf related or not, and who knows maybe there was an old legend about them.

"Um the Cullens?" He asked confused.

"Never mind, you obviously don't know", I said turning my attention to the movie.

"No come on tell me what's on your mind", he said teasingly. "What exactly do you want to know about them?" He asked cautiously.

I just looked at him with my eyebrows raised waiting for an explanation. I knew he knew something, that part was obvious, by the way he cautiously asked me what I wanted to know about them.

"What?" He asked shrugging.

"You know something", I said this time with I traded the raised eyebrows for squinted eyes.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, playing dumb.

"Oh come on Jake! Tell me", I said, or whined would be more appropriate.

"Tell you what? Bella I have no idea what you're talking about", he continued to play dumb.

"Oh please! Jake I know you know something about the Cullens. So just tell me, please?" I said trying to look sexy, batting my eyelashes. Jacob just laughed then I eventually joined in.

"Alright, alright. All I know is that Dr. Carlisle Cullen and Esme Cullen adopted all of the Cullen kids when they were like eight or something, but that's all I know", he said then after a couple of seconds of me staring suspiciously at him he added, "Oh! And they're like from Alaska or something", with a shrug.

"You're lying", I said quickly.

"I'm not", he said just as fast.

"No not about that whole family history thing, I'm talking about the first thing you said", I said.

He looked confused.

I let out a breath that I didn't know I had and said, "When you said that, that was the only thing you know."

He sighed and put his, now empty, ice-cream carton on the coffee table then leaned back on the couch then looked me straight in the eyes with this serious looked in his eyes.

"What? What Jake? What do you know?" I asked knowing that there was something he knew.

"Bella…….I…….I can't", he whispered with a pained looked on his face.

Ok good now we're getting somewhere, I thought.

"Um….well…..sure you can. Just come right out and say it", I said.

"No Bella you don't understand…..it's just that I……I really, really can't", he said coming out of his whisper, but still with the pain look on his face.

"Jacob, yes you can. You can trust me", I said with nothing, but seriousness in my voice.

He looked away from my eyes and looked down at his hands and I looked too. He wasn't really doing anything just playing with fingers. Then he looked up and so did I.

His face was serious the pain expression gone. He stared in my eyes with so much intensity and seriousness that I almost didn't recognize him because the Jacob that I have grown to know and love was always so goofy.

"Let's just say that they aren't………they aren't who they claim to be", he said.

And once I opened my mouth to ask more question-like, why was he being so vague? And, the most important, who exactly are the Cullens?-Charlie walked in ruining everything with his perfect timing.

"Hey Bells", Charlie said warming up the lasagna I made Friday.

Me and Jacob walked into the kitchen at the same time Charlie turned around with a mouthful of lasagna. Jake laughed and I just smiled.

"Um…..well…..hey Jake, I didn't know you were here", Charlie mumbled around the food in his mouth.

"Hey Charlie, and actually I was just leaving. It's getting kinda late and my dad is probably worrying about me", he said walking towards the door.

"Alright well I guess I'll see you around Jake", Charlie said with a wave.

"Yeah you will", Jake said.

Me and Jake walked to the door and gave each other a hug. When we let go he said by and so did I and I didn't even bring up the Cullen's to try and get more information. I told Charlie good night and ran upstairs.

I changed into my pajamas and laid down in my bed. I couldn't, but to think about what Jake had said.

"Let's just say that they aren't………they aren't who they claim to be", he said.

And it just kept running in my head over and over again until I was finally asleep.

That night I dreamt of the Cullens, but mostly Edward.

Thanks for reading my Chapter 3 of my very first fanfic!!! I hoped you liked it. I actually enjoyed writing the watermelon incident. I thought it was pretty funny, but tell me what you think and if you have any questions ask them. Review!
