Ch-3

Bella POV

It starts from where she goes to Edward's house

I was half way to Alaska when I realized I had to see Edward first, to make sure he was safe. I ran back to Forks and slowed as the streets started to get busy.

When I found his house I stared for a very long time, not sure if I should knock and talk to him, or just go around the back. I moved as fast as I could around the back of his house and climbed one of the trees. There I just stared down at him. I saw his eyes flickering around the garden, looking for me. I knew he wouldn't be able to see me not up here. I was so wrong. His eyes met mine, the emerald green sinking in and taking over.

I pulled my eyes away and ran. He had seen me, what was I supposed to do? Run away from Forks? That wasn't an option any more, he had me and I couldn't do anything about that. I would have to stay, to try to resist and at least see if he was interested in me, if he was, than thank God. If not, I would have to move on.

I ran back home to ask Carlisle for his opinion, stay or go. I walked into the garage and went to stand by my silver Volvo, not sure what to say.

Where could Bella have got to? I heard all the questions and worry building up in Esme. Poor thing. There was no way I could run away now. I couldn't hurt my family like that.

"She's in the garage," I heard Alice's tiny voice squeak as everyone rushed out to me. When Alice walked out I gave her an appreciated look for saving me from walking in and making everything a little awkward.

"Where-"

"How-"

"Why-"

"WHAT WHERE YOU THINKING?!?" Esme screamed at me. Her voice coming over all the other questions. Everything fell silent.

"Esme, Bella's been 17 for almost 75 years now. She's a big girl. Leave her to do want she wants." Carlisle rescued me from have to answer Esme's questions to come.

When I arrived at school I was hoping that for some reason Edward wouldn't be there, or at least not at biology. But strangely I still wanted to look into his emerald eyes, and tell him that I loved him.

At lunch I scanned the cafeteria, he was there. I would have to be polite and talk to him; it's probably as close as I'll ever get to him. I told myself. I grabbed a slice of pizza, water, and apple and went to sit down with my other siblings.

Bella's in love…. Alice kept repeating in her head over and over again. I looked at her and said:

"Alice Cullen, if you don't shut up right now I will rip your head even if it means taking down everyone in this cafeteria to do it."

"Everyone except one boy that goes by the name of Edward Anthony Swan," she said between giggles. Luckily the bell saved my then.

I walked into biology and there he sat looking all perfect. I told myself: I will not drink Edward's blood; I've hunted, so I'm under control. I sat down next to him; he pushed his seat closer to mine and pushed mine as far away from his as I could.

"Hello. Sorry I didn't get a chance to introduce myself, I'm Isabella Cullen. But just call me Bella. You're Edward Anthony Swan," I sounded like the biggest fool to my sensitive ears.

"Just Edward," he had a golden voice, like honey melting.

"My apologies Edward,"

Mr. Banner started class then, talking about our work for the day I wasn't listening, just staring at Edward. Mr. Banner placed a microscope in between us and Edward put in the first slide. "Lady's first," he said, pushing the microscope closer to me.

I gave one quick glance, already knowing what the answer was. "Prophase."

"May I check?" Edward asked. I slid the microscope towards him. "Prophase," he wrote down in his messy handwriting.

"Like I said," I murmured. He chuckled. I picked up slide two at the same time he did, our fingers touched and he pulled his hands away as quickly as I could run around this classroom 4 times.

"I'm sorry," I muttered under my breath. I slid slide two in place and pushed the microscope towards him. He looked at it for a while then said: "Anaphase,"

"Mind if I check?" I asked teasingly.

"Sure," he pushed the microscope towards me.

"Anaphase," I muttered.

We continued like that chatting about, our lives. It was very frustrating getting nothing from his head. "Will you be here tomorrow?" Edward asked, sounding hopeful.

"Yeah, I will. Will you be here?" I asked.

"Yeah, pretty sure I will."

"Okay. See you tomorrow." I walked off, a little pissed, that I still got nothing from his head.

Bella, Jasper and I are skipping last class. I know you're coming, so meet us at your car, I heard Alice's voice saying. I ran out to my car and waited.

"OMG!!!! Bella, I saw you speaking to Edward and I was like ZOMYGOSH!!!! So are you to in love yet?" Alice was showed off a little about her 'vision' ability when it came to boys with me, and I was tired of it.

"Alice, if you say anything about me and Edward again I will tear your little head off then run away and blame it on you!!" I snapped, maybe a little over the top, but oh well.

"Gosh, Bella. I'm really sorry, how can I make it up to you?" Alice asked. I'd never seen Alice so timid.

"Umm, maybe by leaving me alone!" I stormed off. I ran to my meadow and sat down. I wasn't worried about Alice, she would always forgive me in the end and especially if I told her she could take me shopping. Which is what I suppose I should do, the girl was only trying to help. I looked around my meadow and noticed nothing different, until I saw a shape emerging from the other side.
