A/N: ok I have been nice to you guys. I've been updating practically every day; for the past three days. Haha. But I still don't get reviews from people. I understand that it's still early in the story to have that many readers. However, I know there are people who have subscribed to this story and do not review. I'm not asking for money. I am asking for reviews. Please. I will write this next chapter but if I don't get at least 9 reviews then I will hold the chapters ransomed! HA!
Chapter 4: edward's pov
My body stiffened and I held in my breath. The air was polluted by the scent of this human. Though there probably seven-teen other humans in this room, her scent over powered the others. Her scent smelled so appetizing! The venom began to pool out in my mouth. My eyes darkened, from golden topaz rimmed eyes to completely black. Never in my hundred years have I smelled such a human so appealing to me. I did not know what to do but I knew I wouldn't be able to breathe, as long as I was in the same room as this creature sent to deal with my demise.
'Edward c'mon we got to take our seats.' Alice thought. 'Edward what's wrong with you? We need to take our seats.' I nodded and followed her to the two empty seats.
My eyes widened when I realized the only available seats were to the side of and in the back of this demonic human. 'What could I have done to deserve this punishment? Is this some sort of a cruel test?' I took one last breath before taking the seat behind her. She didn't make any contact with us what so ever. She didn't even raise her head from what she was writing on her book. That is until sensei called for the class's attention.
She flipped her hair from the side of her face to the back of her shoulder. Send a fresh batch of her scent my way causing my fist to tighten. I began to think of how it would feel with the warm liquid substance oozing down my throat. The thought of her blood on my tongue caused my body to subconsciously to move forward.
Before my right stone cold hand was placed on her shoulder, before my left hand cleared her hair from the path of my mouth to her neck. Something interrupted my thoughts and actions. That something goes by the name of Alice. 'Edward I've seen what would happen if you killed her. You wouldn't be able to live with yourself.' I turned towards my sister and gave her a grateful smile.
I began to focus on what exactly was going on in class. I heard the thoughts of the people in the room including the sensei. 'Oh my, this new student is such eye candy. I'm sure he'll be a new topic in the teacher's lounge.' I cringed at her thoughts. I did not like knowing that I'd be the hot new topic of the teachers.
'Man Alice is so hot! I wonder if I she'll go out on a date with me?' I shook my head in dismay at this boy's thoughts. Like he was good enough for my sister! It is a good thing I'm the mind reader and Jazz is the empath. He'd surely, wouldn't like the thoughts of how his girlfriend is being thought of. Not that I liked what these boy's thought of my sister. However, I know that they had no chance what so ever with my sister certainly not with Jazz around.
'OMG! Edward is so fucking hot! I wonder if he'll sit with me and my friends at lunch. Maybe if I spend enough time with him he'll be attracted to me. Maybe he'll ask me to be his girlfriend! I'll ask him to sit with me at lunch.' I shrunk down in my seat and disgusted by this girl's thoughts. Why am I always the target for girls?
I could hear everyone in the class's thoughts all except for one. That one was seated in the desk before me. It was as if that seat was empty. I couldn't hear anything thing not even a whisper. This is defiantly wrong! I have never met anyone that was immune to my powers.
The three morning classes ended and so far she has been in two of my classes. In each class I was seated next to her. Thank god Alice was in both of my classes to keep me in check. It was the last class before lunch. I was in my music appreciation class while she was in her creative writing class with Jazz and Rose. I needed to focus on Jazz's mind just in case.
'Why is her scent so alluring? I can't give in to my demonic side now. Alice wouldn't be very happy with me. I wouldn't be happy with me! But her scent's so strong I can practically taste her blood on the tip of my tongue. No, Jasper get a fucking hold of yourself! You have been strong and resistant from human blood the past two years. Do not let one human ruin that for you. Wait, she's sad? What could be bothering her so much? She's practically depressed for some reason I feel like being a big brother and comforting her. I wonder if Edward knows what is going on in her head.' She's depressed? Now that I think of it she does seem kind of isolated. 'The feeling of sadness and loneliness is just so strong. What could be bothering this girl so badly?'
The bell rang, signaling that it was time for lunch. I needed to hurry and meet my siblings in front of the cafeteria before the girls could come and bombard me with their imaginations. I quickly walked out of the building and saw the cafeteria with my siblings waiting. I was in the middle of the court yard before I got caught. How wrong could I have been? "Hello!" said a nasal voice. I answered with a small smile then walked away towards my family. "I am Jessica Stanley. You're the new student Edward Cullen right?" she asked in a flirty tone.
"Yes I am. Nice meeting you." I replied in an attempt to escape from her deathly clutch.
"I was wondering if you and maybe your family would like to come sit with me and my friends."
"I'm sorry but my family and I rather just stick to ourselves." I rejected her as nicely as possible. I escaped from her clutch and walked quickly towards my family.
"Hey Eddie boy! Finally found yourself a new girlfriend or added a new stalker to your list." Emmett teased.
"Shut it Emmett and don't fucking call me that!" I said to him then turned to the rest of my siblings "I need to talk with you guys about that Swan girl." We headed inside to an empty table at the far corner. Usually we got lunch to keep up the human charade but at this point I really didn't care. I needed to talk to them.
"What's wrong you finally want sex tips to get with the Swan girl?" Emmett joked.
"I said shut it Emmett!" I growled. I listened around me to see if there were any human within hearing range. I decided it was clear and began. "There's something up with this Swan girl."
"Her name is Bella" Alice chided.
"Like it fucking matters Alice." Rose bitched. "Hurry up Edward! Stop wasting our time with this pathetic human. Just get to the damn point!"
I rolled my eyes at Rose. Count on her to be a bitch when I mentioned a human as a problem. "I can't read her mind! Can you feel her emotions Jazz?"
"Yes, perfectly clear. I was actually going to ask you, if you could read her mind and know why she was so sad and lonely." He stated.
"I actually needed to tell you guys something about her as well." Alice announced. "I've been getting quite a few visions of her. They occur very frequently. I'm surprised you haven't seen any of my visions Edward. It's actually the only reason why I know she likes to be called Bella."
"I am not comfortable with the fact that I can't read her mind." I confided.
"Well we can't do anything now. You'll just have to wait till we get home and then we can mention it to Carlisle I'm sure he could help us come to a conclusion." I smiled at Alice. She always seems to know just how to comfort me. 'Why don't you try again' she thought.
I turned in my chair to scan the crowed cafeteria. I finally spotted her on the other side directly across from our table. Her table was right next to the restrooms. I squinted my eyes trying to focus as much as possible to where she was seated. I just wanted to hear a squeak from her seat at least. Bella raised her head and scanned the room till she found who she was looking for. Her eyes came to a halt when they matched mine. She froze there for a few seconds, just staring at each other. The expression must have been rude or uncomfortable because she packed up and left. I faced towards my family disappointed that I couldn't hear anything from Bella. I glanced at the clock on the wall and there was only ten minutes left till class. My next class was biology and none of my siblings were in that class with me. I strongly hoped that Bella wasn't in this class with me.
The bell rang and I headed towards my biology class. I entered the building and smelled Bella's scent. Oddly it only smelled as if she just passed through. I physically relaxed at the fact. It meant that she was most likely not in my class. I reached my classroom only to be hit by a wall of her scent. The teacher, Mr. Varner was there setting up a video. "Mr. Varner?" I asked as I approached. "I'm Edward Cullen I'm the new student in you class."
"Ah yes, I've heard a lot about you and your family. Your father is Carlisle am I correct; the man that got a new job as the head doctor of the general hospital here in Forks?" He asked. I could only nod my head. He turned to the class. "Class before I start the instructions for the video. I'd like to introduce your new classmate Edward Cullen." I smiled half heartedly at the class. Mr. Varner turned his attention back to me. "Edward you may take a seat next to Bella. It's the last available seat."
I made my way toward my placement of torture. I took as many breaths as I could before I had to take my seat. With each step I took towards Bella the harder it got to breath; her scent grew stronger and stronger. I placed myself in the seat next to the window while she had the aisle seat. I turned my head towards the windows to take a quick and cautious breath. Not that I needed to breath but it was just more for comfort and to seem more human like.
"Ok class. The video is about plants. You don't need to take any notes, but pay attention because the person with the highest grade on the video quiz will get extra credit." Mr. Varner announced. Please don't turn off the lights! It would be so much easier to control myself knowing that there are humans watching you. He pushed the play button and headed to turn off the lights. 'FUCK' I shouted internally. I hope to Alice that I will be able to control myself.
She placed her hair to the left side of her face creating a curtain to separate us. It took a lot of strength in me to not smell her. Instead of thinking about how delicious she must taste or her over powering scent. I tried my best to focus on her thoughts. To find a voice I haven't heard all day. To just hear what she's thinking. To hear why she was as depressed and lonely as Jasper claimed she is. My face scrunched up in frustration and disappointment. Though I couldn't quite hear anything from where she sat. I only pushed myself harder.
I didn't know how long I stayed like that staring at her but I was interrupted by Mr. Varner. When he turned the lights back on. "Okay class, since the video took longer than expected. The quiz will be the tomorrow." I didn't even get to pay attention to the video and Bella probably didn't either since she kept taking sideway glances at me.
I was walking to my next class, world history, thinking about today's events and Bella. I realized that each time I sat next to her in class I got this strange feeling. It was like a tingling sensation! During biology the tingling force only grew stronger. I had no idea why but I liked the feeling but it was uncomfortable at the same time. This is going to be one heck of a year!
A/N: There you have it my fellow twilighters! The next chapter will have some drama. However, there might be some delay in the updating because of that lack of reviews.
I'd like to thank edwardcullenloverforever, katelane, and Lillianagreen for always reviewing. Thanks!!!
