A gust of air flew past my body almost knocking me down. I almost fell when the house shook. I felt a pair of cold hands catch and drag me out of the room. I glanced back to see Jasper trying to break free of Edward’s grasp, teeth exposed. A stream of guilt and fear washed over me. All over a paper cut, there was barely any blood but that one drop was enough to send Jasper into a feeding frenzy. “Its not your fault, you know that don’t you?” Carlisle tenderly spoke to me. “I know” I whispered. My mind clouded by many memories, emotions, the day I first laid eyes on him.


“So how are you liking Forks so far?” The girl with dirty blonde hair asked. I simply said “Its okay.” There wasn’t anything more for me to say. Forks isn’t anything special a small town with about 2,000 people in it. So if you sneezed everyone in town knew about it. I wasn’t used to it coming from Los Angeles where there a gazillion people to this. I tried to remember the names of people I sat with but I couldn’t. It’s not that I forgot people’s names so easily I just didn’t care to know their names when they spoke them. “What’s Hollywood like?” A pretty decent looking girl with pretty brown clear skin, spectacle covered eyes, dark brown  hair pulled into a loose ponytail. “It’s kind of boring to me,” I made sure to emphasize me. “I grew up there so I was pretty used to seeing celebrities and tourists.” I spoke tediously. They’re eyes widened with excitement, like I said nothing special goes in this small town. Just then five astonishing people walked into the cafeteria. I couldn’t take my eyes off of them. “Who are they?” I breathed still holding my gaze in their direction. “Oh that’s just the Cullen’s.” The girl with the glasses spoke dreamily as she too eyed them.   

“The tall dark haired scary guy is Emmet, he’s with Rosalie, the beautiful one with the long honey blonde hair. Oh, and the pixie looking one there, that’s Alice. She’s with Jasper, that’s the blonde one ,Rosalie’s twin, he always looks like he’s in major pain.” She explained our eyes never leaving their statuesque forms.  “And that is Edward.” She blushed while she spoke is name, I nodded. I couldn’t help but stare at him his skin pale, bronze wild hair almost black eyes, he didn’t walk he glided past us not paying any attention to us just smirked as he heard us mention his name. he sat with the other four, they didn’t eat they barely paid any attention to each other. “Don’t bother trying to talk to Edward, apparently noone here meets his requirements.”  the girl with the dirty blonde hair spoke with a mild hint of jealousy. “I didn’t plan on it” I said still glancing in their direction.   

That’s when his gaze met mine, his eyes narrowed as if I offended him. I felt my breath get caught in my chest, even as he glared at me I felt butterflies in my stomach. I slightly smiled, trying to be polite of course, but that just seemed to make him madder. I swallowed hard and turn my attention back to the kids at my table. As lunch persisted I continued to glance at the table of exquisiteness.

The bell rang and they swiftly rose from their seats and gracefully and quickly removed themselves. I strolled to my next class. Biology. As I reached the class I realized there were a lot faces peeking back at me. I smiled at the ones I recognized. “Velvet, here’s your book and have a seat next to Edward.” Mr. Banner said pointing towards the breath-takingly creature. I nodded unable to speak. Be calm he’s just another guy no big deal. I told myself as I slowly walked over to him. I kept my head down scared I would fall on my face. I felt eyes on me making me look up. My eyes met his hard stare making those damn butterflies come back. I was scared, mad that he looked at me like I had cooties, and in lust all at the same time.

“Hello.” I spoke way to cheerfully. He didn’t acknowledge my existence. I sat down feeling defeated. As Mr. banner taught about God knows what, I wasn’t paying attention I was too busy noticing Edward’s hands clinched like he was holding the secret to world domination in them. His body rigid. He sat so far away from me I though I might just have cooties. I sighed and flipped my hair over my shoulder, causing him grab his nose. I noticed and sneakily sniffed my hair. Chocolate essence filled my nostrils. I shrugged trying to ignore his immature antics. I looked out the window stealing glances at him the whole time.

As soon the bell rang he was out of the classroom before I finished blinking.

I decided the next day that I would confront him, demand to know what his problem was. But, he didn’t show for the next three days.
