I do not own any of the characters, Mrs. Meyer does.
Chapter 6
Forks, Washington, 2096
BPOV
I could sense 6 different fragrances, only a few minutes old. They probably couldn't smell me yet, and I had no intention of meeting them, so, using one of my gifts (A/N: go to the bottom of the page to learn more about Bella's gifts), I replaced my sweet, vampire smell with a human one, changed my eye color from golden to hazel, 'created' a heartbeat, and made my skin seem less pale (A/N: Of course, these are all just illusions). Of course, I made myself look extra beautiful; it would be fun to watch all the boys' reactions. I doubted the secretary would notice these differences, so I strode confidently to my first class, English.
I slid my card into the slot, noting that this teacher's name was Mr. Toole, and opened the door.
The teacher looked up, surprised to see a student arrive this early for class. "W-w-well, Miss—" he stuttered.
"Miss Camry." I replied.
"Well, yes, Miss Camry. Normally, I wouldn't allow a student to come into my classroom so early, but, for you, I'll make an exception." His eyes glinted with lust, looking at my cleavage.
"Erm," I tried not to gag out loud; this man was well over 50 years old. "Thanks, Mr. Toole."
He abandoned whatever work he was doing, and stepped forward. "You must be a new student, how are you adjusting?" He tried to make his voice seductive, but failed miserably.
"Very well, thank you."
"If you need any help, please feel free to ask." Of course I will ask you, I thought sarcastically.
Thankfully, at that moment, two students walked in, chatting about their summer holidays. I took that opportunity to escape Mr. Toile's hungry eyes and settled myself in one of the tables at the back of the room.
Most the students who walked in barely noticed me; they were too busy talking with their friends. Soon, every table was filled, except for mine. I prayed that there weren't any other students in this class.
But just as the bell rang, a beautiful blond strolled into the room, and sat right beside me. Everyone's gazes followed her, probably cursing themselves mentally for not have an empty seat beside them. Then their gazes flashed to me, and they started whispering.
"I heard that there were new people in town."
"Yah, the Cullen's and the Hales."
I froze. The Cullen's and the Hales?
"That blond…WOW!"
"I know, and that brunette beside her, I think that she's prettier than the blond."
"No, I think they're tied."
"Whatever, do you want to bet who can get one of them on a date first?"
"Sure, 20 bucks and you're on!" They shook hands.
I chuckled silently, wondering if the blond beside me had a boyfriend. I turned towards her, "Hey, my name's Marie Camry, what's yours?"
She looked at me, as if I were the mud under her Gucci boots. "I'm Rosalie, Rosalie Hale," she replied icily.
I leaned back on my chair. Rosalie Hale. Rosalie Hale. That meant that the Cullen's were back. Every one of them. Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, Alice and…Edward. But there was a new scent. Did they recently 'adopt' another vampire?
Class started at that moment, but I didn't really pay attention. I was too busy pondering about my bad luck: I come back to Forks and start school just as all of the Cullen's come back. I wondered if I should drop out of school and go back to Australia. No, I decided, I wasn't a coward. I wouldn't let a bunch of vampires that left me 91 years ago chase me out of Forks. I'll just pretend that they don't exist. Yes, that's it.
The rest of the morning past uneventfully, and I didn't have any more vampires in my classes, which I was glad for. A lot of boys approached me, thinking they'd have a chance since I didn't have a boyfriend, but I turned each of them down, internally laughing each time.
Soon, it was lunchtime. I decided to go back to my car, avoiding the disgusting human food and all the boys who didn't have a chance to ask me out yet. I didn't want to listen to any music, but decided to eavesdrop on the Cullen's' conversations.
"Hey, I heard that there's a Marie Camry that's new here. Did you guys meet her?" I recognized Alice's cheerful voice.
"Oh, her," Rosalie sad as if she were tasting some repulsive human food "Yah, she was in my first period English class. Why?"
"It's just that I really want to meet her, but she wasn't in any of our classes!" There was a pause. "Or in this cafeteria."
"Why would you want to meet her? You don't need another shopping buddy, do you? Besides, she's almost inhumanly beautiful, though I heard a heartbeat. Why would you want to get to know a human, again? We don't need the risk of exposure, again."
"If you're talking about…Bella," I flinched, while recognizing Edward's voice, "then you're wrong. She wasn't going to tell anybody."
"How can you be so sure? Or are you just protecting her? Protecting the dead?" Rosalie spit back.
"What? Who?" There was a new female voice. "Protecting who, Edward?"
"Never mind, love, it isn't important." Edward was calling her love? Soothing her?
"Oh yes it is, Edward," Rosalie said. "She needs to know that you spent decades moping around for her!"
Decades? For me? Curiosity got the better of me and I raced back to the cafeteria, entering inconspicuously. I walked over to a table where I was sure they wouldn't be able to see me.
I spotted a new vampire, sitting on Edward's lap. I growled, though hopefully not loud enough for them to hear me.
"Decades?" Her voice was really high pitched, irritating. "Is that true Eddie?" Ugh, I thought that I was going to puke.
"Well, yes, it was true, but now I have you, love," he said softly, stroking her hair. I was trying really hard to keep my jealousy under control, but I noticed Jasper looking very uncomfortable, and Edward shrugging in his direction.
She turned around and kissed him. No, it was more like a hot make out session. My jealousy flared out, knocking Jasper over. I saw Alice trying to comfort him, whispering soothing words.
Then, abruptly, Edward stopped kissing the new vampire, his gaze sweeping over the cafeteria, and zeroed in on me.
