"No way am I one of the stinking Volturi. Don't you think that my eyes would be red instead of the brown?" I demanded.
"Well yes, but..." Rosalie started.
"So, that should be clue enough that I am not the Volturi. Besides, you guys of all creatures should know that things are not always what they seem. I am not a vampire, but I do know. Now, like I was saying earlier, if you want me to explain, you're going to have to wait until after school. I will follow you guys to your house and that way I will only have to explain my story one time," I explained. "Understand?"
They all nodded their acceptance. Not long after, the bell rang and we all went our separate ways. Once I got to Mr. Banner's room, I saw that the only empty seat in the room was next to, surprise surprise, none other than Edward Cullen. As I walked to the front of the room to speak to Mr. Banner, he smirked at me. (Edward, not Mr. Banner.) I stuck my tongue out at him and turned to Mr. Banner.
"Hi, my name is Elizabeth Morinstall and I'm new here."
"Of course, Miss Morinstall. Here is your book and you can have this seat next to Mr. Cullen," he told me smiling.
I went to my seat, sat down and faced the front of the room.
"Fancy meeting you here," Edward smirked.
"Yes, it's been so long. I saw you...when it was? Oh yeah, at lunch about four minutes ago," I replied sarcastically.
"But it always seems like such a long time when we are apart," he said smiling sadly.
I snort and turn away from Mr. Drama Queen. Man, is he one HOT! vampire, my loud-mouthed mind comments. Shut it! Why must you be so annoying?! Could you please just shut up! I know that he is hot, he has got to be the most gorgeous creature that I have ever laid eyes on. He is most likely the most gorgeous creature that I will EVER lay eyes on. But he is a vampire. Bet you would love to be kissed by those lips. Shut...
"Elizabeth? Are you alright. You do realize that class is over, don't you?" Edward's voice broke through my inner discussion.
I looked up and was surprised to notice that no one was in class any longer. "What? No, I didn't realize class was over. Man, time sure flies when you're having fun!" I said sarcastically.
"You didn't enjoy the lesson?" Edward asked, raising one eyebrow.
"Lesson? I didn't even hear any of the lesson. I guess I was just lost in thought. I mean, it's not like I planned and letting you and your family know what I was so soon. If ever..." I ramble on.
"Elizabeth, do us all a favor and shut up," Edward commented smiling.
I stuck my tongue out at him, gathered up my books and headed out of the room. My next class was gym and I didn't need to be late on my first day of school.
After a minute I realized that Edward was walking along side of me. Man, he was quiet! "Why are you walking with me?"
"And here I thought that we were friends," Edward said sadly. "My sister and I have gym this period actually."
"Of course you do. So do I," I told him.
We were quiet the rest of the way to the gym. Once we got inside we separated at the locker rooms. The teacher, Coach Clapp came over and told me that I didn't need to change out today. But he still handed me a uniform. He told me that they were playing volleyball but since it was my first day I could sit out. I entered the locker room to get a locker and put my stuff away in it. Alice was waiting for me in the 's locker room.
"Hey, Elizabeth! I am so glad that you're coming over today!" Alice squealed when she saw me.
"Uh, yeah. Thanks aain for inviting me," I told her.
"Come use this locker next to me. I know we're going to be great friends!"
"Thanks Alice."
After we were changed we both left the lockerroom together. Edward was leaning against the wall opposite of the boys lockerroom. His gold eyes slightly glowed. He linked eyes with me and, of course, I blushed a bright, brilliant red. Alice looked calmly from me to Edward but if you looked closesly you could see the joy in here eyes. I looked away from Edward and tripped my way over to the bleachers.
A few minutes after class started Alice clutched at her stomach and started moaning.
"Miss Cullen, what's wrong?" Coach Clapp asked Alice as he ambled over.
"Cramps. Coach Clapp, could I please sit out? I don't feel very well," Alice asked, unleashing the full force of her golden eyes.
"Of course. You can go and keep Miss Morinstall company."
Soon after, Alice joined me at the bleachers.
"Nice job getting out of volleyball. You're a pretty good actress. That was very believable," I commented her.
"Thanks. And I really am looking forward to you coming over today. What do you think about my brother?" She asked me, nearly bouncing in her seat.
"Who, Emmett?" I asked, feigning ignorance.
"No, not Emmett. Edward. I saw the way you guys looked at each other after me and you came out of the locker room. So, do you like him?" she asked bluntly.
"Like him? Alice I just met you guys. How could I possibly like him? I mean, I like all of you guys as friends. I mean, I never have many friends and like you've said twice today, we are going to me really good friends," I told her with a smile. I meant what I said, but I was also trying to change the subject.
"Thanks for being truthful Elizabeth. But if you want to know a little secret, I think he likes you," Alice whispered to me.
Of course I had to go and blush again. "Alice there is no way that he could. I mean, look at me and look at you guys. Besides, we just met today. How could he possibly like me?" I asked. Really, Bella. There is no reason for you to think that. Besides, you should be glad that he likes you. Look at the face and that body. sigh! I chuckled, thinking how my I talk to myself in my mind and how I think my mind just fainted.
"Elizabeth, are you still in there? I seem to have lost you for a moment there," Alice asked, looking concerned.
"Yeah, my thoughts are just wondering. They seem to be a little lost. Anyways, how long have you guys lived here in little Forks," I asked, wanting to know more about them.
We spent the rest of vollyeball talking. When Coach Clapp dismissed us to go change out, I followed Alice into the locker room. I waited for Alice to get changed. When she was ready, she followed me out. This time, Edward was leaning up against the wall by the doors leading into the hallway. His eyes seemed to be smoldering as he looked at me and Alice. I blushed self conciously.
Alice smirked at me as we walked out of the gym, Edward following behind us. We separated and all went to our lockers. I went to the office and gave Mrs. Cope my slip that all my teachers had signed. Of course, when I left the office, Edward was again leaning against the wall. What was with this vampire and walls. I wondered. You know you what him to have you against the wall, my mind ribbed me.
"Are you ready to leave. If you're going to our house, we'll need to leave together," he asked.
"Actually, I have transportation. I can't just leave my bike here. I'll just follow you guys," I informed him.
"Like you could keep up."
"Is that a challenge, Mr. Cullen? Because if it is, I will gladly accept it," I smirked at him.
"So, the new thinks that she can keep up with us?" Emmett boomed. As Edward and I were now outside by their silver Volvo.
"Yeah, I can keep up with you. My ducatti is an amazing piece of machinery," I boasted.
"You're on," Jasper said with a smirk of his own.
I put the jacket, helmet, and other glove on that I had been carrying. After that I started my bike and the Cullens all entered their car and they were off. And I was right on their tail.
