[h3]MADDIE[/h3]
[indent][indent][indent][indent]It was only once inside that Maddie made to take her hood down. She really had once thought that America was warm and sunny, yet the constant downpour of rain showed no signs of easing off. She was already miserable when she made to reach into her bag for the wad of papers when someone knocked into her, causing her bag to fall from her hands. “Wonderful” she groaned, bending down quickly to scoop up her belongings and stuff them back into her bag before they got kicked about the soaked floor. “I am fine… It’s fine” she said to the perpetrator, yanking back her hood and shaking out her curled hair. 

Once composure was regained, Maddie looked to her company and she smiled. There had been no intent to come across as rude, and she smiled, slotting back into her usual happy ways. “It’s fine, honestly” She said with a sincere smile and unfolded the paperwork and looked to her allotted locker and its code. At her old school they had had lockers, but they were all key operated. She remembered having a locker right down the back end of the school, and it had taken a great deal of begging to get herself moved to the main part of school. But she already knew that this school was completely different to her last school. For one thing, she would have finished school back home, compulsory education stopping at sixteen. Being back in an educational establishment when she was supposed to be finished wasn’t exactly the most heart-warming matter.

“Hey, don’t suppose you know where locker 216 is do you?” She asked looking up to the girl as she peeled her own hood back. Although it was more than clear by her English accent, she continued to say “You can probably tell that I am new here… and I haven’t even stopped to look at this map they gave me” she added, stepping away from the entrance to the school, not missing the looks of all the students as they poured inside.

[h3]EDWARD[/h3]
[indent][indent][indent][indent] “I’m sure it was nothing” Edward said, forcing himself to compose. He looked down the length of his arm to his car and to the folded metal beneath his knuckles. He growled in frustration as he straightened his arm out, flexing his fingers. They didn’t hurt, he couldn’t feel physical pain. But under the guise of being human he rubbed his fingers and looked back around, and the smell had gone. 

That smell had been like nothing else; in all his years as a Vampire he had not smelt anything as delicious as that. It was what the word euphoria would smell like if it had a scent, it was almost intoxicating. It had taken every inch of his resolve not to follow his hunter’s nose and kill this person, his humane side winning only by an inch. Edward was usually the most composed, was able to distract himself away from the blood lure and focus on enough things, and eventually that desire would fade away. 

But for some reason today something broke through, a scent appealed to him more than anything before. He needed to speak to Carlisle about this, but knew the man was in surgery this morning. Hoping it was just a one off due to the influx of students; Edward looked to Jasper and shook his head. “It’s nothing” he said as he pushed off from the car, doing his best to act calm so that Jasper could not read his anxious mood.
