Edward's P.O.V.
"Edward! Time to go, we don't want to be late for school on our first day!" Alice called in an overly cheery voice.
"Be there in a minute!" I said, walking out of my room.
It wasn't long before we had said our goodbyes to Carlisle and Esme and began the drive to school. As soon as I turned out of the drive way I shoved my foot down on the accelerator. What can I say? I have a need for speed! I wasn't sure about Forks at first but Alice told I'd love it, and you never bet against Alice. So I pulled into forks high school and slowly (at human speed) got out of my car).
"Edward!" called Alice, "over here!" she didn't really need to call but this is Alice, a very excited Alice.
So I nodded and began walking to where Alice and the rest of my family stood. As I walked, I passed a big, red, old sort-of looking Ute. It was then that the driver of the Ute opened the door and a gust of wind blew her scent in my direction. I had no choice but to run as fast as I could into the forest surrounding the car park and the school. The scent was so strong, so luscious I could almost taste it in my mouth; if I hadn't fed the day before hand I would have taken her without a second thought.
"Oh my god…" I breathed out loud. I couldn't go back, not yet, I'd have to gain control. Yes, I could do this! I'm Edward I'm strong. I can do this. So I took a couple more deep breaths and went to get my timetable and check in at the front office.
My first class was English lit. Which went quite well. Of course I had already read all the books on the reading list because I had taken the subject numerous times before.
Luckily I had had no run-ins with the girl. But my luck didn't last long. My second class was biology. As I walked to building number four her scent lingered in the air. Immediately I braced myself, taking the last few steps and entering the classroom.
I walked up to the teacher and handed him my slip to sign. "Ah, you must be Edward Cullen", he said peering at me through his glasses.
" I've heard a lot about you, please take a seat next to Bella Swan." He smiled and pointed at a girl… the girl… she was wearing a short, red tartan skirt and a white blouse, which was held together by only two buttons. She had pail skin and brown, curly hair that was nicely draped over her shoulders, leading down to her…No, no!
"Hi, I'm Edward Cullen" I said smiling at her.
"Hi," she said in such a sweet voice, "I'm Bella Swan." Bella, what a lovely name.
"Okay class time to begin!" said the teacher. Mr. Brown I think his name was.
I smiled at her and turned my attention to the teacher. Her scent was driving me crazy it was almost unbearable. But I held through it, not paying much attention to the teacher.
"Okay Edward, lets get started" Bella said, turning to me.
"Started on what?" I asked.
"We're supposed to be answering questions 1-10 in the text book." Bella said leaning over, the plunge of her top dropping a little lower.
"Right." I said turning to look at her face. "I don't have a text book, would you mind if I shared yours?" I asked smiling at her again. Her scent tickling my nose.
She paused for a moment, her eyes glazed over. Suddenly, her eyes returned to normal "No… Not at all" she said leaning to the side to get her textbook out of her bag.
As she leant over I noticed the smooth skin on her stomach and the cubic zirconium belly button piercing that protruded so elegantly.
"Here we go." She said opening the book up to the correct page and placing it between us.
At this point her scent was driving me crazy but I fought it back. So for the next 45 minutes we sat and answered each question in silence. Several times I tried to read her mind, yet to no avail. It was as if she had some sort of a mental block, I'd have to tell Alice about it later.
It was then that the bell rang. I packed up my things and Bella hers.
"So I guess I'll see you later." I said smiling at her again.
"Um… yeah I guess." She said picking up her bag, " See ya, Edward." And with that she turned around and walked out the door, her lace up boots making barley any sounds. I couldn't help but laugh to myself.
When it was lunch I walked into the cafeteria only to see that my family had beat me to a table. So as not to raise suspicion I queued up in the lunch line and grabbed a couple of things. I swear sometimes I'm so grateful that I don't have to eat this food.
As I walked over to the table I couldn't help but hear some of the thoughts emanating from some people. I chuckled to myself at the absurdity of some. But then I caught the scent of miss Bella Swan again, who happened to be sitting on a lunch table with several other girls and boys surrounding her. I wouldn't mind getting to know her better she seems pretty interesting.
As I sat down Alice grinned at me. "I told you you'd like it!" she said.
"Oh really?" I said, pushing my food around on my plate.
"Yes! Oh and remember, you promised you'd go shopping with me after school today!" she squealed quietly.
"I don't know if I can today Alice," I said glancing at Bella who was sitting on some guys lap.
I heard Alice think, don't worry; she'll be there.
Quickly I snapped my head back to face Alice. I couldn't read her mind, I thought to her.
"How strange", Alice said allowed.
