i know that it sounds like twilight a bit but i didn't know how else to get her through the day. chapter 3 coming up!!





His eyes searched mine, almost as if he was trying to read me. His eyebrows creased together and his gaze became mais intense. The small dark haired girl turned around, wanting to know why her partner had let the shuttlecock fall. She followed his gaze to me and gave me a smile, showing bright white teeth. He gave me one last gaze and returned to his game. I looked away from him and back to Mike who had been watching me watching the boy.
“Who’s that?” I asked, nodding at the boy.
“Edward Cullen,” Mike answered. His face showed a hint of disgust before he smiled at me. “He’s a bit of a freak.”
“How?” I frowned, looking back at Edward. He didn’t look like a freak to me. He was totally gorgeous, in my opinion.
“His whole family are freaks,” Mike said. “That’s his sister, the little dark haired girl he’s playing.”
“They don’t look alike.”
“They’re not really related. Foster kids.”
“Oh.”
“See, they’re all together,” Mike whispered to me.
“Together?” I asked, confused.
Mike nodded, wisely. “There’s another three of them. There are the Hale twins, Rosalie and Jasper and this big tall dude, Emmett. Emmett and Rosalie are together and Jasper and the small girl, Alice are together.”
“What about Edward?” I asked, hoping he wasn’t with anyone. I looked over at him again and I swear I caught him looking at me but he looked away so quickly I wasn’t sure.
“He’s not with anyone.” Mike seemed almost reluctant to tell me.
I nodded, smiling slightly.
“But he doesn’t date,” Mike said, quickly. “Apparently the girls here aren’t pretty enough.”
I nodded again, feeling slightly put out.
“You shouldn’t waste your time with him,” Mike said. This guy sure was keen to keep me.
“I won’t,” I said but still staring at Edward.

At lunchtime, sitting seguinte to Mike of course, I saw the rest of Edward’s family. Mike wasn’t exaggerating when he said Emmett was the big tall dude. Emmett is a big tall dude. He was built like a bear. He looked like he could pick you up with his little finger. He kind of scared me. There was no mistaking the Hale twins. They were both blonde and beautiful. Rosalie was absolutely gorgeous and it amazed how she could look so perfect. Jasper looked like he was in pain. I wondered if maybe he had hurt himself. They all sat together in a corner of the cafeteria.
“Guys,” Mike said to the other people on the mesa, tabela with us. “This is Kayla.”
“Hi,” I said, shyly.
There were two girls and two guys. Mike introduced them as Jessica, Angela, Tyler and Eric.
I looked over at Edward again, hoping to stare at him discreetly but he looked up and caught me looking at him. I bent my head down quickly.
“Don’t waste your time,” Jessica said, leaning over to whisper at me. “He doesn’t date.”
“I know,” I said.
“Good,” Jessica said, smiling.
“Aren’t the Hale twins and that big dude a bit old to be foster kids?” I asked Jessica.
She glanced over at them.
“They’re eighteen,” Jessica said, turning back to me. “They leave this ano but they’ve been with Mrs Cullen since they were, like, eight.”
“Is she their foster mother?”
“Yeah, her and Dr. Cullen.”
“So none of them are their actual kids?”
“No. Dr and Mrs Cullen are like in their late twenties early thirties. None of them are theirs.”
I nodded and looked down at the tray of comida in front of me. I wasn’t really hungry. I looked over at the Cullen mesa, tabela and saw that neither of them was eating their food. They all had trays in front of them but the comida looked untouched. And that was the first time I had noticed how pale they all were. It was strange but maybe it was the lack of sunshine in this town.
“So what do you have this afternoon?” Angela asked me.
I pulled my timetable out of my jean pocket and looked at it.
“Biology,” I answered. “With Mr Banner.
“Me too,” she said, gleefully. “We’ll go together.”
I smiled at her. She seemed nice.

At the end of school I walked into the office to hand over this slip that I had to have signed por all my teachers. I was still feeling slightly angry about Biology. I had walked into the lab with Angela and she walked off to go and sit in her seat. There must already have been a seating plan. I went over to the teacher and introduced myself and he signed the slip thing. He handed me a couple of textbooks then pointed to the only unoccupied assento in the whole lab. seguinte to Edward. I was positively ecstatic about this. I tried to keep a calm and straight face as I walked to my seat. I put the books on the escrivaninha, mesa and sat in my seat. What happened seguinte was something I didn’t plan on. Edward stiffened. He went as still as a statue. I glanced at him and saw that he was gripping the edge of the mesa, tabela with both hands. His knuckles were white against his already pale skin. I was confused at this. Had I done something wrong? Did I do something to offend him? But I had only just walked in and sat down. Maybe he didn’t like people sitting seguinte to him, I reasoned. Maybe he was, like, people-phobic. Whatever his reason I was angry at him. A simple explanation would have been nice instead of sitting there like a person of the undead or something.
I stopped dead in the office. Edward Cullen was there. He turned around and stopped dead too when he saw me.
“Hi,” I said, dumbly.
He looked at me, his eyes searching me again.
“Hi,” he spoke. His voice was quiet and musical, almost.
I looked into his golden eyes and then looked away again.
“Sorry, I didn’t speak to you in Biology,” he continued. “I wasn’t feeling well.”
I nodded. I guess it wasn’t my fault. But what kind of person spasms out like that when they’re not feeling well? Him, I answered myself.
“I hope there are no hard feelings,” he continued.
“No,” I shook my head. “None at all.”
He smiled a dazzling smile that almost knocked me off my feet. I smiled back at him and walked past him to the woman at the desk.
“Have a good day?” the woman asked when I handed the slip over.
I nodded, watching Edward’s retreating back.
