Chapter Two: Edward
I'm running through the wet and foggy forest. I just finished hunting one of the vampires with the pack. It took us awhile to finish, because of Sam's need to discuss everything. I told him that I have to leave early, because of school and Charlie was going to kill me. Both which were true. I changed back into a human and put on my clothes that were in my backpack. Lucky me, it wasn't raining so I could get home faster. I realized if I kept spending time with the pack that I'm going to have to go shopping soon. I continued running home, I couldn't wait to get there. I hate hunting vampires. Even though I hated them- I was never a violent person. It didn't take me long to get home, I ran faster because I was chanting in my head that Charlie was going to kill me. That helped.
I got to the front of the house and sighed deeply. I finally got home, it's been a long day. I went inside and closed the door, my dad was waiting for me in the living room. He looked very pissed off. "Bella, where have you been? Do you know what time it is?" he yelled. No, I didn't know what time it was. Like that will make a difference . . .
"Sorry, dad, I lost track of time," I answered, nervously. I looked over his shoulder to check the time on the cable box. It said that it was twelve thirty three. Oh, crap. Charlie is going to punish me all week. I bite my lip, at least I don't have to go to La Push.
"Get to bed, now. I'll talk to you in the morning," he pointed up the stairs. He's probably going to be thinking all night on how to punish me. I'm so screwed.
I nodded and started walking up the stairs. "Night, dad," I whispered.
"Good night," he said in a strict tone. Okay, I'm very sure that I'm going to be punished all week. I washed up and dressed into my pajamas. I wasn't tired, but there was nothing else to do at night besides sleep. Not sleeping made me think of that vampire today. Crap! I tried to focus all day about hating vampires. That still doesn't work. Ugh, what's wrong with me? I don't even know his name and I imprint on him! I sat on my bed and put my hands to my face. Just go to sleep, Bella. I lied down on my bed and closed my eyes trying to go to sleep. When I finally did, I was dreaming about him! Wow, I have problems.
As mad as I was, it was the best sleep I've ever had. I woke up to my alarm clock radio. It was playing, "Leave Out All the Rest" by Linkin Park. I liked that song, so I let the alarm clock on. I sat up on my bed and jumped off. I put an outfit in my backpack and went to the bathroom to get washed up. Then, I went into my room and turned off my radio when the song ended. I changed and went down stairs preparing for Charlie to yell at me. I went into the kitchen, no one was there. I saw a note on the refrigerator's door, I walked over to it and took it off the door.
Bella,
I had to go to work, so I didn't get a chance to talk to you. I want you to cancel any plans you have after school today, that is when I'll talk to you.
- Charlie.
Sam told me to run the perimeter after four. I have to tell him that I can't before four o' clock. I took out my cell phone, and looked for Seth's number. I pressed send. I was hoping that he would answer the phone.
"Hello?" Seth answered. Thank god . . .
"Hi Seth, it's Bella."
"Oh, Hiya Bella. What's up?"
"Um, could you tell Sam that I can't run the perimeter at four today. Kay?"
"Okay. Oh, Leah's here got to go. Bye"
"Bye." I hung up the phone. I walked to the door, walked outside and closed the door. I walked over to the my truck. I opened the door and climbed in. I put the key in the ignition and started the car. I put the gear on reverse and got out of the drive way. I got even more annoyed how slow my truck is.
I drove into the school parking lot and put the gear on park. I got out of the truck and slammed the door. I smelled the vampires again. I got to school a little bit early, so I have to hang out in the parking lot before everyone gets to go inside. I walked over to my friends, and I saw the vampire that hasn't left my head all day yesterday! He was looking at me and I turned my head. I kept on walking towards my friends. Then, the bell rang. I started walking towards the building instead.
I walked past him trying not to stare. I walked into the building and went to my next class. Like yesterday, every period before lunch went by like nothing happened. I couldn't concentrate at all on the classwork. I walked into the cafeteria and inhaled deeply. I smelled them again. The worst smell ever. I sat down where I usually sit. I couldn't help myself, I was listening in on their conversation.
"Edward, stop looking at that dog!" the one of the girl leech ordered. I wondered which one was Edward, I slightly turned my head towards their table. It was the one that I imprinted on. Edward, I liked that name. Why was he looking at me? He saw me looking, he turned his head. I did too. I saw two girl vampires sitting, one looked like a pixie and the other one was blonde. The one the ordered Edward to look away, I assume, is the blonde one. There was also three male vampires, a blonde one, a dark haired, muscular one and of course the beautiful one, Edward.
I heard a beautiful chuckle. I recognized it, it was Edward's. Why was he laughing? "What's so funny?" the blonde male asked.
"Something I heard in someone's thoughts," Edward answered. He heard someone's thoughts? Oh, crap. He must of heard my thoughts! I put my hands to my head. He probably knows that I imprinted on him. Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap! I decided not to listen on their conversation anymore.
"Bella?" Mike called.
"Yeah?" I answered and took my hands off my face.
"Are you coming?" he asked. What is he talking about?
"Where?"
"To La Push beach this Saturday," Jessica answered. She seemed excited about it.
"Oh, um . . . I'm probably going to be grounded this weekend," I looking at my food.
"Really?" Angela whined.
"Probably, I'll let you know," I shrugged. I hoped that my dad wouldn't punish me so I can go. I'm tired of only going to La Push just to hang out with werewolves.
"Alright," Angela sighed. I thought of what I had period, biology. Ugh, I have biology everyday after lunch. The bell rang, oh crap. I got up and grabbed my backpack. I started walking to my next class. When I got to biology, I hung up my coat on the rack and walked to my seat. Edward was already there. I sat down and dropped my backpack next to my desk.
I exhaled, I had to imprint on a vampire. Sam is going to kill me.
"Hello," Edward said and I looked at him. I accidentally looked into his eyes, they were beautiful. "I'm Edward Cullen . . . you're Bella Swan," he said tilting his head slightly.
"Yeah," I said so surprised that he was talking to me. There was an assignment on the board, textbook pages 211-221 answer the questions and if you didn't finish then you do it for homework. Crap.
"I'm sorry for not introducing myself yesterday," he said politely.
"It's alright," I said faintly and opened the textbook. I found the page where our assignment was. I had no clue what it was about.
"I'll help you," he said and turned his head towards me. I looked at him. I almost forgot that he could read minds.
"Thanks," I gave him a small smile. I couldn't help myself.
He slightly moved his chair towards mine and put his finger on the page of my textbook. "Um, there can only be one or two electrons in the first layer; eight on the second layer; and eighteen electrons in the third layer of the atom. You can . . ." he kept on talking about the atoms. I was listening - barely. I don't know why I was. I was almost hypnotized by the sound of his voice. "Now do you understand?" he said and I jumped a little. He smiled.
"Yeah, thank you," I said.
"Anytime," he went back to his side of the desk. I checked the clock, there was twenty minutes left in the period. I started my work. I finished my work really fast. Edward's a good teacher.
"Thank you," he said, I looked at him and he smiled. He put his pen down and I saw his hand writing. It was the neatest I've ever seen. I looked at my paper, my hand writing is horrible. Edward leaned over slightly looking at my paper and leaned back. "It's not that bad."
"Why are you being so nice to me?" I asked. The bell rang. Never mind. I got up, grabbed my backpack, went over to the coat rack and got my coat. I walked the door, I couldn't let myself be with him. I'm so confused.
