I wish, but I don't own Twilight.

CHAPTER 4

By the crack of dawn, I was bored. At night I had decided to read my textbooks just to catch up with school, or maybe just learn for the upcoming exams.

Never in my life would I have thought that vampires could also read fast! It wasn't just that, I even remembered each and every word including the page and paragraph numbers!

It was the same for advanced calculus, my least favorite subject.

All of a sudden I could solve every problem, as if it were a cakewalk!

Now, being a vampire wasn't so cool anymore…it was more like boring.

Not knowing what to do, I switched on my laptop. Thankfully, it was fast. My Google homepage opened.

Typing 'Vampire Traits' in the search box took one-tenth of a second. The first link was of Wikipedia…they had a complete table of all the folklore and fiction. It was interesting, even though I was bored again after 2 minutes 6 seconds.

~x~

Even though it was just 7am, I decided to head to school.

After fussing over what to wear, coz I didn't feel cold anymore, I got my bag and took my IPod from the nightstand. Music was the only thing that couldn't get me bored very soon.

Starting the ignition, I put my headphones on and escaped the world of music were I felt normal again.

I reached school in record time. People had started to arrive. I pulled out my headphones. I repeated my mantra - 'blink, look around, cross your legs, smile' again and again. 'I could do this. Nothing happened in the last 8 days…I just a little flu! I am fine. Just a new pair of golden contacts and of course the paleness. No one would notice! And the Cullen were NOT vampires!' my mind started blabbering.

I got of the truck. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath…and there went my self - control.

They smelt so good! It was like flames being punched down my throat! Suddenly I was a hunter and they were my prey. Nothing else mattered.

"NO! Keep your head in its place! Take your hand off the door handle, you have broken it. Don't breathe. Open you eyes slowly…" a voice said.

I did as I was told…and looked at the pair of golden eyes, which were exactly like mine.

"I'm Edward Cullen, and you, Bella Swan, are a vampire." He stated.

"You are the Cullens?" I practically hissed. They were vampires!

"Yeah…we need to talk…you are, obviously, a newborn and need to be told the rules", could a dead heart start beating again? It felt as if mine was about to. He was beautiful, plain and simple.

With those bronze colored hair and sharp features, anyone could be called God! Honey and lilac and…sun. That was what he smelled like!

"Um…yeah…I guess…" I stumbled.

"Good", he said and walked away, at human pace.

Walking towards World History, Angela found me.

"Oh my God! Bella, I'm so sorry! I was stupid to fight with you! I have been worried sick! Mike told me that you had flu…are you okay now?" with that, she hugged me.

I stopped breathing and hugged back, applying the gentlest of the pressure to squeeze her.

"Yeah. I'm fine…"

"By the way, those contacts look amazing on you!" she complimented me.

I smiled and together we walked feeling as if everything was back to perfect…

~x~

The first 4 classes were a blur. Jessica told me everything I had missed on while I was 'sick'. The Cullen's were hottest topic of discussion everywhere.

Emmett Cullen was in my calculus class. He eyed me as if I was the new to this school, instead of him.

I had yet to see the others but there was one thing for sure, they followed the same pattern for food, animal blood.

As the lunch break rolled in, I started feeling nervous. I couldn't eat anything, what if anyone noticed?

I got in line with Jacob, Eric and Angela. Taking an apple and some yoghurt, we walked back to our table where Jessica and Derek were already sitting.

All the while I toyed with my food and eyed the Cullens. Derek explained that the 'supermodel blonde' was Rosalie, 'the guy on steroids' was Emmett, the 'black-haired pixie' was Alice, the 'I'm-in-pain faced' guy was Jasper and the 'bronze colored hair dude' was Edward.

A few times, I could see them glancing at me.

I found another thing about me; I could hear everything! Even the smallest of the whispers, I could hear it as if the person was shouting!

At the end of lunch, I threw my food in trash and saw the Cullens doing the same…

English was the same as usual…we had a pop quiz which was very easy.

Entering the biology class, I sat down at my desk. I usually sat alone but it was when Edward came in through the door that I realized that it was about to change!

He came and sat next to me. And that was it. Not a word passed between us. I didn't even breathe!

As soon as the bell rang, he simply collected his books and walked out.

'That was weird' I thought to myself.

Sighing, I got up and walked to gym.

I was neither very good nor very bad at sports… I could handle myself.

That was when I saw Alice and Rosalie. They just smiled knowingly and continued playing badminton.

~x~

I couldn't be happier when the final bell rang!

Escaping in the world of music again, I drove to the diner where the work was, again, very slow.

As soon as the shift ended it hit me 'I survived it without killing anyone!'

But inside, I couldn't deny the fact that I was counting seconds to see Edward Cullen again…
