Chapter 15
After lunch Haley sat alone in French Class.
She was used to being alone by now.
She struggled to keep control of herself as she smelt everyone's scent in the class.
She closed her eyes as she concentrated on remembering what Jasper taught her during the first couple of months with them.
She clenched her fist as she thought. 'Such sweet and delicious smells.'
'Haley try to control yourself.' Edward said. 'I know that some of the scents are so sweet and overpowering but I know that you don't want to disappoint everyone by attacking them.'
'Your right Edward and I am trying to control my thirst.' She replied. 'They're very strong. But some are just plain disgusting.'
Her nose wrinkled in disgust as her nose filled with the smells that she thought were disgusting.
'I should have hunted again yesterday just to keep it safe like Carlisle had told me.'
Suddenly Haley smelled a new and overpowering fragrance entering the room.
Haley opened her eyes and turned to see the new boy standing next to the teacher.
He was staring at her while the teacher was talking to him.
His eyes were full of interest as he stared at Haley.
She could smell his scent from where she sat and flinched.
'Mmm chocolate. He smells so good. It's so unfair. Why does that scent have to overwhelm me? And on my first day.'
'Emmett doesn't think that he smells that good.' Edward replied. 'He doesn't know why his scent is so strong towards you when it doesn't appeal to him at all.'
'Emmett and I have different tastes.' Haley said as she flinched again.
'Do you think you'll be ok?' Edward asked.
She could tell in the tone of his voice that he was very worried about her.
Haley sighed. 'I hope so.'
Suddenly a new voice entered her mind.
She knew who it was.
'Haley are you alright?' Jasper asked.
'I'm fine Jasper.' Haley replied. 'There's a new scent that is very sweet right now. It's that new boy.'
She could tell that, that made him worried. 'Will you be alright?'
Haley nodded. 'Don't worry about me Jasper. I remember what you taught me. I think that I'll be alright. I know that you guys are somewhere inside the school and if anything goes wrong you'll be here in less than a second.'
His voice faded away as the teacher started talking to the boy. "Go and sit next to Miss Cullen."
Haley groaned quietly. 'I don't need this right now. I don't think I can hold till after school. He has a sweet smell and it's so overpowering towards me. I'm only a newborn. Why does this have to happen to me?'
'Try Haley. Try and remember what Jasper has taught you.' Edward thought.
Haley sighed again and looked down. 'I'll try but I'm not sure if I could handle his sweet smell. It's too powerful for me.'
She didn't look up when the boy sat next to her.
Edward chuckled. 'Just like when I met Bella.'
"Hello my name is Will Miller what's yours?" he said as he sat down next to her.
"Haley Cullen." She replied as she clenched her fist tighter.
Haley heard Edward laugh in her head. 'Yep it's defiantly happening all over again. I can sense that he likes you.'
'Oh great. I'm so glad that you're enjoying this Edward.'
He chuckled.
"It's nice to meet you Haley."
Haley didn't reply and she turned away from him and clutched her fists.
She could feel his eyes on her as she looked towards the desk.
She was thinking of attacking everyone in class including the teacher then when there all dead breaking Will's neck and drinking his body clean dry of blood.
Haley flinched at the thought. 'No I can't do that. I don't want to hurt anyone.'
She groaned when Dean decided joined them at their table.
"Hey Haley." He said as he glared at Will. "So did you change your mind about me yet?" he turned back to her and smiled. "I would love for you to be my girlfriend."
"I'm sorry Dean but I don't want don't want to be your girlfriend. I hate to say this but I think that you can do better than me."
"Better than someone as pretty as you!" he said. "You're insane!"
Haley shrugged. "Sorry."
"Whatever." He said as he walked away.
'Why doesn't she want to be with me?" Dean thought as he walked away. 'I'm the captain of the football team. What a loser!'
Will chuckled.
Haley was almost too glad when school ended.
She went to meet the others at the car.
She heard Edward and Bella walking towards her.
"How did it go?" Bella asked. "Did that Dean boy trouble you again?"
"It was…. fine." Haley said as she turned. "But I'm glad it's over. I turned down Dean again. I don't think he took it well though."
Edward chuckled. "He likes you. Will Miller I mean."
"Oh great." Haley replied.
"I can tell that you like him as well Haley." said a voice.
Jasper and Alice were walking towards them with Emmett and Rosalie behind them. "I can feel it in your emotions."
"Ok I like him only as a friend and that's all. Nothing more. Nothing less."
Jasper and Edward laughed as they got in the car.
"I'm very proud of you Haley." Jasper said. "You survived your first day around humans without being tempted by their blood."
Haley sighed. "To tell you the truth I was a little tempted of William's blood."
"Yes but you sat through it." Edward said. "We are all very proud of you."
Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Bella nodded in agreement.
"Rosalie won't admit it but she's proud of you as well." Emmett said.
Rosalie rolled her eyes and looked out the window. 'Just a little.'
Haley smiled.
