Not Edward

Chapter 3 - The School

It was Monday now. And honestly, I was bored. Entirely and utterly bored. Hence, after their guilt tripping I went to the damned school with my 'siblings' something that I wasn't thrilled about as we waited outside the school for the first bell to ring.

The day in a lot of ways dragged. Of course, since I won't be getting to sleep anymore that means that everyday is probably going to drag on. It's a little bit depressing really, I feel like I either need lots of hobbies or I'm going to need to do something just so I don't go chronologically insane.

"I wish he would look at me." I hear a pouty voice say in my head I hold back a groan of annoyance.

"Ugh, why didn't I change underwear today?"

Teenagers, honestly. He went about the day calmly and while the smell of human blood had somewhat of a mouthwatering effect on him he didn't want to be sucked into that at the moment.

"Behave today Edward." I hear Alice's voice ring lightly inside my head. "You'll see her later."

"I figured that I would see her at school." I comment back as I pretend to read the book in front of me.

Alice sighs in my head. "No, you taking Edward's place was enough to change your mate. Not that Bella was truly his mate.. though they would've stayed together anyway."

Holding back a groan I hum inside my head. "Gonna tell me where I'll meet her?"

"You don't listen to us you know.. but, you'll see. She wasn't supposed to exist here either."

When lunch rolled around I was ready to go home. It was boring and dull. But school was never very interesting to me anyways. I could hear Bella talking when I walked in. You would think since she felt uncomfortable before that she wouldn't be trying to steal glances.

But that didn't stop her from constantly looking towards 'me'. You would think that being white as paper and looking like you have white powder all over would be a little off putting. Apparently not. Although I suppose I should be happy that me landing in his body allows me to have my skin be a little less — deathly pale. Then again it only warmed to a slightly less pasty color during the morning.

When biology class came around again she was sitting beside me looking awkward again. So I make sure to keep my eyes on the teacher. We had lab in biology today. That came with me promptly giving her responses, not polite but not mean either. I gathered my books up calmly after the class was over.

Making sure not to just rush off or disappear like the original Edward did. The goal is to keep her off my back and out of my hair, so to speak. I raise an eyebrow when I notice that she's watching me while biting her lip nervously.

"Yes?" I ask boredly, my eyebrow still raised in question.

She shuffled her feet a little and then opens her mouth and closes it. "Uh.."

"Goodbye Bella."

I let out a sigh and walk towards the door. I can hear Bella following me out of the classroom as I make my way towards the next building. Really, it would be much easier if they had it all in one building instead of multiple. It's odd. Or rather it's odd, although it's also not a huge deal either.

The rest of the day was ridiculously boring. Sure I could hear everyone's thoughts, most of which seemed superficial and irrelevant information to me. It's not exactly a enjoyable sensation to see someone's fantasy's of you in their mind. Sure, Jessica Stanley was hot but I don't need her day dreaming about me or watching her day dreams about what's his name. Or anyone else's day dreams for that matter.
