Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, or Breaking Dawn

A/N: There are spoilers in this story if you haven't read all four books. Also this is a revised version on my previous first chapter...its longer


I sat in my chair, doodling mindlessly in my notebook, as my calculus teacher droned on. Explaining limits and whatnot. I suppose as a senior I should pay attention, but its so boring and it's a simple class. I find no need in following his words. I turned my head to the right, watching as William Stuart hid a yawn. He and I do just as well in this class; it's my goal to beat him, to have the highest average. Will has bright brown hair with natural blond highlights and…well his eyes are hard to describe, brown or hazel…perhaps of an amber color. It's actually quite distracting.

The bell rang, ending the monotony of the class. I left quickly and headed to my favorite bench in the entire building. It was on the fifth floor and faced the Hudson River. I sat down and put my bag next to me on the bench. I flipped it open and looked for the book I was currently reading. Twilight, all my friends had recommended it to me and I had finally decided to crack open the cover. The period passed quickly as I was immersed into the fantasy. Bella's confusion became my own, her pain was echoed in me and her love of Edward resonated within me. I had no idea that a book could affect me this way. It was surprising; I had heard such horrible things about this book. I have to admit I've read better books, but this one is high up there…at least plot wise.

My next two classes went by in a blur, the thought of my fifth period lunch and the chance to continue my book constantly present. I entered the cafeteria and went to the table I sat at with my best friend Alex, and whoever else happened to be with him at that point. For once, I had brought my own food, having run out of lunch money a day early.

"Hey Kit Cat, 'sup?"

"Not much…" I replied, eager to scarf down my sandwich and escape to my favorite bench to continue with the book.

"What's up? You're not acting like your normal self? WAIT scratch that, you're not normal." I scowled at him as the rest of the table filled up with a strange assortment of seniors. Girls ranging from cheerleaders to Harry Potter Fanatics, boys from football players to chess club participants. Alex tends to have a wide arrangement of friends; he's so popular. I don't know how he does it.

"Hiya Alex!" Ellen, a transfer student from Kansas squeezed in between the two of us, cutting off our conversation.

"Hey El, You been doing ok?"

"Yep…" As another senior tried to fit into the overly crowded table, I slipped away unseen. I made my way to the bench and pulled out the book.


I walked down the hallway and found my favorite bench taken. Will Stuart was sitting there. I began to walk away when he called out my name.

"Catherine!" I turned back to him.

"Yeah? Its just Cat, by the way."

"Oh sorry…right."

"So…?"

"I was wondering if you could help me with this calc problem?" I raised one eyebrow in surprise. He needed help with calculus? He laughed nervously before continuing "Yeah…I don't know why I'm having so much trouble with it."

"Yeah sure." I said, my doubts fleeing. I sat down next to him and looked at the problem that was troubling him. "Mhmm, this one took me a while to figure out as well. I had to call my brother up for help."

Later as I was walking home with Alex, I mentioned how strange it was for him to have asked me for help.

"It's not strange at all." Alex said smirking. "I know exactly why he asked you for help."

"Why?"

"Cat…are you seriously asking me this question?"

"Ye—Maybe?"

"Think it out, you'll get to the right conclusion….eventually." I stuck my tongue out at him, and thought. Why would Will ask me to help him with calculus besides the obvious (that he needed help). I thought back to those few calm moments with him. Explaining the question, his continued frustration, my teasing him, being as close together as possible so he could hear me best, our heads bent over the work. I cocked my head, a habit I did when I was thinking hard, it seemed planned, how he had finally understood the question when the period was about to end…

"He pretended not to know the answer." I said finally. "But why would he do that?"

"Oh God Cat, seriously? You're able to figure out that he was pretending not to know the answer but not why…you're worse at this than a nine year old."

"Well its hard, since its not like he likes me or anything." Alex gave me that look, that look that says you're an idiot and I can't believe I'm friends with you. "He likes me?" I asked incredulously.


I turned to the last page of my book with a sigh and looked up to see that the rest of the room was filling up. I looked at my watch, 7:55, finished just in time. Will sat down in the seat next to mine.

"Hey Cat. What are you reading?" Will's voice shook me out of my daydream.

"The real question should have been: what book did you just finish reading." I teased.

"Oh? Well then, what book did you just finish Cat?"

" Breaking Dawn," I said with a sigh; I can't stop thinking about it or Edward Cullen…

"You've read it too?"

"Huh? You read Breaking Dawn?" I asked surprised. Guys hated this series; it ticked them off. My best friend Alex had just been telling me how Twilight was one of the vampire books that he would never ever read.

"Of course. I've been practicing acting like Edward and everything." He said winking. I tried not to roll my eyes.

"Have you really?" I slipped a stray strand of hair behind my ear.

"Miss Brooks, Mr. Stuart. Class has started!" My teachers voice made me jump.

"Sorry," I mumbled before opening my calculus book and turning away from Will. I picked out my favorite pen and proceeded to finish the doodle I had started yesterday. The class passed by fairly quickly. As I was putting away my books, I heard an impatient cough. I looked up and saw Will grinning down at me.

"So don't you want me to answer your question?" He asked as I took his offered hand and stood up.

"Sure," I replied. We walked out of the classroom and into the hallway. "I'll follow you, I have a free."

"Ok. Well my reason for reading Stephenie Meyer's books is that all the girls who have read this book, practically every single girl, now have a new idea of the perfect guy. So I was just reading up on how I should be."

"So that you can get a girl?" I asked.

"'Yeah" I gave him a look. "I know its pretty low huh?"

"No, that's not it. I think its cute how hard you're trying." I told him giggling. Guys try way too hard. He only has to smile and talk to a girl before she falls for him. If Will asked me out, I'd say yes in a heartbeat.

"Oh I see, you think that guys can't pull off being like Edward, right?"

"Well" I replied "I'm sure you can easily be like half of him but I'm not so sure you can pull off the second half."

"So you're saying that we can be like Edward, personality-wise but we can't be vampires?"

"No. I'm saying that guys can be like Edward in the first part of the book. Cold, distant, and sullen. However, not like he is afterwards. I hadn't even thought of his vampire side. That one is 100% impossible."

"What if I told you it wasn't?" Will said smiling. I laughed…it's impossible, isn't it?
