Preface

"Do I know you?" He was staring at me from his side of the table. It made me self conscious to feel his stare piercing onto my skin, but I didn't take my eyes off his face until he had answered me. By the look he was giving me, there seemed to be a conflict in his head, but he shook it out before answering me.

"No, I don't believe we've met before," he said politely. He still gave me that same bewildered look he had on earlier, but he then took of his gaze and stared at the text book in front of him. He must have been thinking about something since the cover of the biology book couldn't have been that interesting.

I nodded accepting his answer and turned to pick on the paper sticking out of my notebook. There was something familiar about him, but it was not something I could pin point exactly. I left the thought at the back of my mind and decided to introduce myself.

"Well," I started, "my name is Bella." His head shot up by the sound of my name, and he had a shocked expression on his face. "Nice to meet you," I continued.
