It was any normal day, at least I thought it would be. I never thought anything would be different. I walked into class prepared for an "engaging" lecture and sat at my assigned seat. Sighing heavily I rolled my eyes, tucking my cell phone out of my pocket I stared and wondered how long it would take for every one else to arrive on time. The cell phone vibrated and I quickly opened a text, apparently this had been sent to the masses according to the highly impersonal choice of words. "New kids. HOT new kids." was all it said, I giggled slightly at the ridiculousness of the message. In a city like this anything shook our school to the core, we were the epitome of upper class suburbia and some new kids would rattle the gossip cages for a few weeks. I sat patiently and slowly the other students came rushing in, racing against time, most reached their seat before the bell rang. My teacher walked in and smiled, I sighed heavily please do NOT tell me this was supposed to be another "interesting" lesson. But instead she gestured towards the door, slowly the hinges squeaked and in walked the most beautiful creature I had ever seen.
This was not normal. I had never seen someone so gorgeous, so beautiful; I wondered if it was just me but from the gasps and drooling surrounding me I obviously was not the only one entranced. This boy, no man, did not belong at my high school. He belonged in a movie with gorgeous male leads and model actresses to support him, but instead he walked to the front of the room and stood patiently. My teacher cleared her throat to catch the attention of everyone's awe struck faces, I even stumbled in my seat and sat up seeing the teacher stand beside the young man. "Everyone, we have a new student. This is Jasper Hale, he and his family have just moved into the district," my teacher announced, I suppressed a gasp as his eyes flickered across the room and rested upon me for a slight second. Before I realized he may have been looking at me he was staring at the teacher again, even she was taken by his charm and I could have sworn she blushed. "Please welcome Jasper warmly, everyone. Jasper, please sit next to Carla. She'll catch you up with the current lesson," my teacher said pointing over to me. I swallowed heavily as he glided towards me and sat beside my inferior presence. I could feel glares pierce my body, I rolled my eyes and tried to be friendly.
"Hi, Jasper," I murmured, glancing up at the teacher she did not take notice as I took out my notes. "We're working on the structure of the American Government in the late 1700s, have you learned about that?" I asked politely. I resisted from staring at his perfect, angelic features; I suppose being the smartest student had more advantages than I thought it had had.
"Yeah, I've learned it all," he said softly, not even looking at me his eyes wandered out of the window where he stared at the overcast sky. His voice was monotone, even bored, not even bothering to acknowledge my presence I scoffed and looked away.
"Fine, fail for all I care," I muttered under my breath, to my horror he glanced at me in response to my comment. How in the world did he hear!? No normal person would have heard that comment, but on the other hand this was no human, this was a man god. "Um... sorry, that was inappropriate," I stumbled with my words, for one thing I had never felt more awkward in my life and secondly I hated apologizing.
"Not at all," his voice had some emotion in it now, looking at me slightly interested it was only a second before he stared out of the window again to my distaste.
And that concluded our interactions for first period. For some reason, this boy did not affect me like he did everyone else. As soon as I walked out of class I could hear girls gush about his handsome looks. Instead, I was slightly annoyed at his horrible attitude and even his blonde hair, golden eyes, pale skin, and perfect body weren't as perfect if- wait. Golden eyes? His eyes could not have been golden. That is not possible. I shook my head and walked into Calculus, I must have been hallucinating and misinterpreted light brown for some random color.
After Calculus I walked up the long stairways, seeing a hold up I dove through the crowd and finally discovered what everyone was looking at. Jasper must have had relatives or something, standing with four other people he actually seemed slightly normal in comparison to them. One was absolutely huge, he was even taller than Jasper and his bulging muscles threatened to burst from his jacket. In any other condition I may have been intimidated, however this young man had a light grin about him that made me feel like he was just any other ordinary teddy bear. Beside him was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen, blonde and lean she must have been a combination of the worlds most beautiful supermodels. Flipping her hair nonchalantly I heard every boy sigh in despair, the big one had his arm slung casually around her shoulder as a sign to show that she was his. Which obviously meant those two weren't relatives... I was about to delve into the subject more until I saw a young man and woman standing beside Jasper and the other two. These two were different from the big one and the blonde, they must have been together for a long time from the way they looked and touched each other it just didn't seem normal. Teenage couples simply did not move that way around each other. These two seemed to circulate only around each other and no one else in the world mattered. From the whispers and gossip I heard their names, apparently the two soul mates were Bella and Edward and the big one and the blonde were Emmett and Rosalie. But looking back at Jasper he seemed belonging yet out of place, although his beauty and elegance matched the others his expression held something entirely different. The others seemed to try and go about normally. Jasper however looked distant and from the light sneer he almost seemed disgusted to be here. I would have stayed until I realized the time, rushing into my fourth period class I ignored my teacher's disapproving look and quickly rushed to my seat.
By lunch the Cullens and Hales were the talk of the school, in four periods alone the rumours had spread although I have no idea how anyone had found out so much about them. Apparently, Edward and Emmett were brothers, Jasper and Rosalie were twins, and Bella was by herself. All five had been adopted by a new doctor named Carlisle Cullen and his wife Esme. The strangest thing was Dr. Cullen's age, supposedly he was only in his 20's and for a man in the prime of his life I found it interesting for him to adopt five adult kids. While the Cullen/Hale/Swan family sat at their table many people spoke in hushed whispers about them, although tempted I focused on my friends and lightly chatted about the newest English essay that was due soon....
