Forks Highschool's cafeteria was just as depressing as the rest of the building and the food it served wasn't much better. The macaroni and cheese that Colton had purchased was chewwy and lacked flavour to the point that she had had to dump three salt packets in just so that her tongue could catch even a tinge of something remotely similiar to food. The tough noddles squished and squeaked due to the amount of figor she was currently using to mutilate them down into swallow-sized bites. Also she was keeping herself busy so that she wouldn't have the join the mundane conversation that was tinkering around the table that currently sat the occupants of Jessica Stanley's 'clique.'

Colton had wanted to sit outside despite the murky, soggy air and grey skies because she didn't know how much longer so could stand the stale smell the heaters exhaled with each gust of warm air. But she had been too slow to act and had no time to tug herself and Bella outside before Jessica Stanley -a girl who Bella had pointed out she shared a Spainish class with when they had both walked into their Trig class which they also apparently shared- pounced on them and all but dragged them in the direction of the table they were now seated at.

She vaguely recgonised Eric Yorkie -an overly helpful boy who Bella and Colton had shared English with and had inflicted himself on both of them when he insisted on walking them to their next class- and he waved excitedly at her in a way that reminded her of an overly eager puppy. She smiled -winced- back at him as she plucked a plastic chair out from table and drapped herself down on it.

Colton couldn't help but forget every name that were introduced to her almost as soon as they were spoken and she avoided conversation for the most part. Instead of making conversation, she had allowed Bella to do that for the both of them, she allowed her gaze to wonder around her overly depressing surroundings. She lazily flipped from side to side only to suddenly go rigid when her line of sight zeroed on them.

They looked like holy bodied angels at first glance, but as she stared at them more directly, Colton found herself question the authenticity of their beauty. They appeared too prestine to be huddled into the corner of such a dingy place instead of being perched on some pedestal, preying on the mortal world for not matching their level of perfection.

She felt herself being set on complete alert, back rigid and shoulders tense as she continued to stare at them. There were six of them, each as perfect as the other. Though they looked nothing alike despite three of them being blonde and two of them being brunette, they all shared a handful of distinct traits that sealed them off from the rest of the world. Bruise like bags that Colton could sympathise greatly with hung under their unusually coloured eyes that were looking in any direction but their fellow students. They were also a violent shade of pale -paler then even Bella- and despite their inhuman beauty, appeared to have not slept in years.

Colton hadn't realised that she had been staring for so long until she vaguely heard Bella ask an ever bubbly Jessia, "Who are they?"

At her question, Colton noticed one of the table's occupant's head loll to face them and Colton felt her breath catch. While she found the rest unnerving, she found him inarmouringly intising. His amber eyes fixated on her directly and Colton feared that she would both burst into flames and melt all at once. Colton hastily looked away, hoping that the burning sensation the was currently rampaging inside of her hadn't reached her cheeks and given her away.

Jessica giggled faintly and Colton switched her eyes to appear interested as she began to speak, "That's Edward, Noah and Emmett Cullen, and Rosalie and Jasper Hale. The one who left was Alice Cullen; they all live together with Dr. Cullen and his wife."

Bella glanced back over to the table and Colton couldn't help but follow her to see that she was looking at one of the other boys that sat at the table. He had long, shaggy blonde hair and was just as pale as the others, he was currently picking apart his bagle with medical persicion. His neighbour, who had been the one who had sent Colton into a slight tizzy, looked to be in just about the same state as she was and talking rather swiftly to the table around him.

"They are... very nice-looking." Bella struggled with the right term.

"Yes!" Jessica agreed with another giggle that made Colton cringe slightly. "They're all together though — Emmett and Rosalie, and Jasper and Alice, I mean. And they live together."

Unlike Bella, this was not the first time that Colton had heard of the Cullens. Since she lived in La Push which was just a hop and a skip away from Forks, rumours travelled. Especially since the culture she grew up in was a particularly supersticious one, her uncle had his own views of the Cullens, not that Colton had ever been given any reason to share them.

Colton turned back to her lunch and began to clamp down on her lunch, half-listening to Jessica's gossiping and paying more attention to keeping her glances over to the table at the far end of the cafeteria as subtle as possible. She was caught once or twice and made quick work of ducking down and forcing another fork full of food.

It was in the last few minutes before the bell that they both settled onto each other yet again but this time, didn't hastily turn away. Instead they remained fixated. Colton felt her pulse jump and depsite the fact that she was almost certain that this was the first time she had ever seen him; there was something undoubtedly familiar.

So editings the worse.
