Prologue
I whipped my head around and saw a bright light flashing towards me.Edward, where are you? Please come find me I begged silently. But I knew the truth, he wasn't coming. I heard the noise approaching. If I stood here, we'd both get caught! So I did the right thing.
I ran.
Chapter One: Seating Buddy
5 Months before:
Damn damn damn I chanted to myself. I desperately shoved my books into my locker. I was going to be late and Ms. Berkley would kill me! Just then I felt a slight tap on my shoulder. I squeezed my eyes shut. If it was her I was doomed.
" Hey Bella. How's it going?"
I pivoted around to face my new classmate Sam. He was nice and all my evidently tried way to hard! Also, not my type.
"Hey Sam" I answered recluctunley.
"So, after school today I wanted to know. You busy? I was thinking maybe we could… come over to my place for a bit? Show you all my soccer trophies?"
"Can't. Uhm I'm kinda busy at the moment, can we talk later…?"
I didn't wait for a response, just sped away to class. I opened the door and sat down and to my relief Ms. Berkley was not in yet. When she came in it meant you couldn't change your seat or get up or even breathe to loud. She was enormously strict and we all hated it. I turned around to look for Jess.
When I found her, I read a strange expression on her face. What? I mouthed. She just stared. My eyes swept the entire room and to my surprise, they all stared silently too. I sniffed my hear. Smelled fine to me.
Then I spun around to face him. Edward Cullen. The schools bad boy. And I was sitting right beside him. Problem is, Ms. Berkley walked right in.
