That would explain why they can just stand in the middle of the sidewalk and chat. They are, stunned someone sees them, perhaps more stunned this someone seems to be a being of lethal power to them. Monica just was there before they really noticed and they may be expecting this to be their last moment "alive." Could be it's a rule of thumb that anyone who can see them when they don't want to be seen is usually a predator.

. . .
What I have a problem with is the bland vapidity of a high school girl who is soooo deep and soooo complex that nobody her own age could possibly understand her, and the sheer creepiness of a (multi?)-centenarian thinking she's the most fascinating creature on the face of the earth (whether or not he looks like a 20-something "teenager.")
And no, I've never read any of the books nor seen any of the movies; I picked up what little I know by sheer osmosis. Like most of the really virulent toxins, Twilight can be absorbed through the skin.
But sparkly vampires? Could have been interesting, if they'd been in a story that didn't stink on ice.

That is the best bit of reasoning I have heard in a long time.
