A/N: So a recent review for The Killer made me smile and I just want to say thanks for the sweet review. I've been feeling a bit down because I got this one review from Making History that made me upset. More importantly, it made me upset because it's true. I guess I just felt that my readers have given up on me because of my lack of updates and such.
Anyways, it's completely and 100% my fault for not updating. I can only apologize and hope that you guys understand.
Lastly, I do want to keep in touch with my fans more so I've opened a poll asking if you guys would be interested in a Facebook fan page. One of my favorite authors has one and it looks so successful. I would love to create one if you are all interested.
(By the way, I will post this A/N in Making History as well)
Please enjoy this chapter.
Chapter 5:
"Thanks for walking me Mike," I said to Mike. I figured Mike could be a huge asset to me for this mission. And I was in need to know the inside secrets.
I saw the teacher and walked over to him. "Hi, um, Mr. Banner? I'm a new student and…"
"Ah, yes, Bella Swan. Welcome to FHS Bella. Your seat is the one next to Edward Cullen. I'm sure the two of you will get along just fine."
"Thank you," I sweetly smiled.
I purposely walked in front of a fan and controlled my scent so it wouldn't reach him. I saw the confused look on his face when he thought he couldn't catch my scent. Oh, he was just too easy.
The minute I sat next to him, I "blew" my whole scent to him just like a fan would. I watched in from the corner of my eye as he tried to stay away. So he doesn't like my scent then?
I quickly covered up my scent and I noticed that he was at ease. He was also puzzled. First he could smell me and now he can't.
After Banner's speech about something I couldn't really care for, I gave off my scent little by little, a faint one. I could sense how uncomfortable he was and could tell he was holding his breath.
I pushed a thought to Banner to have him call on Edward to answer a question. "Enzyme," Edward answered, and I could hear his breath intake and how much it hurt him.
"Edward, I'm sorry, but that's wrong. The answer is inhibitor." Banner turned away and continued writing on the white board.
I heard some students snicker, obviously glad for his mess-up. I even heard Mike whisper, "Well that's a first. He finally answers a question wrong."
Angela even whispered to Jess, "It's not like him to answer a question incorrectly. Maybe he did that on purpose?"
"Who cares? Even when he's wrong, he still looks gorgeous."
"I'm sorry Jess." Angela said to Jess. That was my confirmation that Jess made a move and Edward denied her.
Edward is probably gay or something.
When the bell rang to show that class was over, I noticed how fast he left the room. It was as if he couldn't wait to get out.
"What did you do? Stab Cullen with a pencil or something?" Mike asked me while he was waiting for me.
"No, but I should try it just to see what his reaction would be." I teased.
"Yeah, he'd probably bruise up easily."
Actually, he'd break the pencil, I wanted to say, but I felt giving Mike some confidence was more worth it. He was, after all, an asset to me.
Mike also happened to be in my gym class and we walked together there. It was nice to have someone to talk to and have someone like me. Being in the MIA prevented me from having a somewhat "normal" life.
Today we had to play volleyball and I helped my team beat every other's. I guess they were all just so surprised that one could be so good. The coach even offered me a spot on the team which I happily denied.
Gym was my last class. So afterwards, I went to the office to give that slip of paper. I heard Edward trying to change his Biology class into anything other than my class. He was trying to leave. I even noticed how flushed her cheeks were, obviously having some sort of liking to Edward, the boy who lived in a 17 year old body for over 100 years. That sick motherfucker, he's actually flirting with her.
Well, guess what? I didn't want to be in Biology either so I took this as my chance to switch and play with him a bit. Luckily, the woman saw me.
"Bella, how was your day so far?"
"Um, it was okay. But I think there's something wrong with my schedule."
"Oh really, what?" She glanced at my schedule and couldn't find the problem.
"I got put into Biology when I already fulfill the requirements."
"Your transcript only says you have 1 semester, Bella. You need 2."
"That's not possible when I've already done 2 years of Biology, now is it?" I lied easily.
"Really? Well, then I guess we have to fix that now won't we?"
"But that isn't fair," Edward interrupted. I didn't give him my scent to make it a bit easier for him. I even noticed how much easier it was for him to do anything. I was surprise he didn't leave right away. "You just told me there were no other open spots."
"Well Mr. Cullen, I'm sorry, but Bella here has to get 1st priority. She obviously fulfilled the requirement and I'm pretty sure she doesn't want to go through with it again."
"Yes, besides, some of the people in class weren't all that nice," I said in a soft voice just so Edward could hear me, hinting towards him.
"Um, Bella?"
"Yes?"
"Our computer records only say you completed 1 semester. Are you sure you finished 2 years?"
"Yes I did," I went to her computer and touched it. I quickly changed the electronic transcript using my powers. Then, I walked by her side and looked on the computer screen. "Um, it says I did 1 semester of Art class, which is right under Biology. I think you looked at the wrong row." I said, pointing to the obvious number.
"Oh, um, thank you, you're right," she said fixing her glasses and rubbing her eyes, shocked at the simple mistake. "Well, it looks like you fulfilled all of our science requirements," That's because I just changed it with my powers 2 seconds ago, "So you won't be taking a science class."
"Thank you very much. I was also hoping I can get out of gym class too? So I can just leave after lunch?" Say "yes," I pushed into her thoughts.
"Why yes you may." She made two quick clicks and finished. I now only have morning classes and can leave after lunch.
"I'll see you tomorrow."
"Bye Bella."
I saw Edward's eyes widen, obviously shocked at what I just did. He couldn't even do that even with all of his flirting. The second I passed him, I gave him my scent again, and stood right in the door for a second longer to watch him squirm. He obviously was trying to leave, but I wouldn't let him.
The parking lot was hilarious. I heard the Cullen's conversation from across the school's parking lot.
"We have to be careful around her. Her smell is awkward. It's like it can turn on or off or something." Edward explained to his family.
"What do you mean?" Rosalie asked.
"I mean, we have to be careful. Plus, she did something to the school's computer to change her files. I just know it."
"How?"
"I'm not sure. But I read the superintendent's mind and saw that the computer said she only had 1 semester of Biology. But then, the minute Bella went to see the computer, everything changed. Her whole transcript changed. All of FHS's science requirements were fulfilled, she got art class, and more."
"Alice, how could you not see this girl coming?"Rosalie hissed. Dear lord you dumb bottle blonde, chillax. I won't kill you…yet.
"I told you already, Rose. I can't see her future. Yesterday, I just saw today as a normal school day and I'm obviously wrong. During lunch today, I saw Edward would sit alone in biology class and not sitting next to Bella. It's obvious that she is protected from me or something."
"I know how Alice feels," Jasper jumped in, "her emotions are nonexistent to me." It was then I wanted to play with the newly changed diet vampire. I sent to all the vampires my smell, but not just any smell: my blood smell. I saw in my rear view mirror that he was tempted to come eat me, but Rosalie, Emmett, and Alice were there holding him back. To the human eye, one would think that the three were just standing in front of Jasper. But to The Killer's eye, I could see how tight they were holding him down. Edward was tensed up too, but he had a bit more control so I noticed how he tried to stand still.
"See what I mean? Her smell? It turns off and on."
"It smells like blood. If she's so dangerous, let me kill her. Let me go," Jasper said.
"But Jazz, look at her. She's not even bleeding. There's no blood on her." Alice said.
"Is she on her period?" Jazz asked, hopefully.
"No," Rose answered, "the blood that comes out down there will smell like dead blood, not alive and delicious blood. There's a difference, Jazz, and we all know you can smell the difference."
"She just smells so good."
"Let's go, this is just getting too weird." Emmett said.
And then, I thought of another idea. I touched motorcycle and did something to make my bike stop working. Surely, one of them would come to my rescue. What a perfect time to try and get to know them a bit better.
I put my key into my ignition to make the Cullens hear the sound of a failing bike. "Ugh, crap!" I slammed my handles, to keep up with appearances.
I got off to check my bike. Again, to keep up with appearances.
"Something is wrong with her bike." Edward stated.
"Quick! Go help her and see what you can learn from her!" Rosalie encouraged.
Seconds later, "Hello." Hmm, Edward's voice sounds very smooth, like velvet. Interesting.
"Hi." I smiled to him.
"Having trouble with your bike?"
"Um, yeah," trying to sound like a dumb girl who knows nothing about cars.
"Want some help?"
"Actually, if you don't mind? I don't know anything about bikes. I can drive them, but can't fix them."
He smiled, "No problem. Let me take a look." While he's looking, he asks, "So, where are you from?"
"I'm from Arizona."
"Wow, such a big change."
"Well, the weather here is different than the South's."
"Haha, I can imagine that."
"So is it pretty much always gloomy and cloudy around here?"
"Pretty much."
"That's sad. That type of weather isn't my favorite."
"If that's the case, then I can assure one thing to you: You will definitely hate Forks' weather."
I smiled to him, "Thanks for update. I'll keep that in mind."
He continues to check the bike, but takes an awfully long time in doing so. He's definitely trying to stretch this conversation out as long as he can. "So, why did you choose to move to the most rainiest city in the country?"
"My parents are divorced," I effortlessly lied. "Plus, I was in a desperate need of some new scenery."
"I don't think the scenery here will be all that beautiful compared to Arizona's."
"In all fairness I did say new scenery, not better scenery."
He chuckled, "True." After additional looks here and there, he says, "Ahh…I see the problem now." He does some things and then says, "Now try and start your bike."
I sat onto my bike and started it. This time, my bike worked but I wondered if he did things correctly to my bike. Hmm, I would have to check his work.
"Oh wow! It works now. Thank you - I'm sorry, but what is your name?" I decided that playing dumb would be good here.
"Edward. Edward Cullen. You're Bella Swan, right?"
"Wow, when Eric told me 'nothing is a secret,' he really wasn't kidding."
"Word travels fast in a school with less than 500 students."
"I've noticed. Well, thanks again."
"Have a nice day, Bella." I watched him walk away and go straight to his family.
"That went well." Jasper said.
"Were you able to smell her? Read her thoughts? Anything?" Emmett asked.
"Nope." Edward answered.
"Should we be worried then?" Emmett asked again.
"I think it's safe to say that we should be fucking terrified of that girl." Alice announced.
"Everyone, get in the car now. We're going to have to tell Carlisle and Esme ASAP." Edward ushered everyone to his car.
The minute he said that, I rode away, fighting back a smirk and an evil laugh.
