Chapter 1: Waking Up

I felt myself stir from a restless slumber and looked up to see the face of none other then Edward Cullen. The weird parts, yes I said parts with an s, were that his previously topaz eyes were the brightest green I have ever seen and were shining with amusement and the fact that I was sitting in my Biology class.

"Ahh, she awakes," I heard the velvety voice of Edward chuckle.

"Hi," I smiled lovingly and he looks back as if I had a third head, "What?" I ask slowly processing the facts.

"Nothing," he replied his tone suggesting that he was slightly annoyed.

"Oh okay, hey, umm what's today's date?" something, I wasn't exactly sure what, was making me think it had all been a dream, and Edward confirmed my fear when he replied, "January 18th,"

It was all a dream? A cruel creation of my imagination? My head made contact with the table repeatedly as I punished my mind for raising my hopes that someone could possibly love me. Plain Jane, boring, me.

"Isabella?" I heard that voice, one I would no anywhere, "What's the matter?"

I knew I wouldn't be able to lift my head for fear he would see the tears flowing steadily down my face so I simply mumbled "nothing I'm fine," into my arms and let my eyes spill over silently.

I felt a warm hand on my back and sat up quickly. Of course the hand belonged to Edward, his eyes filled with worry. He took one look at my tearstained cheeks and told me to look back down.

His hand shot up into the air and Mr. Banner called on him.

"Isabella isn't feeling well sir, may I escort her to the nurse?" he asked innocently.

The old hag had only to glance at me with my head in my hands to agree. Edward stood offering me his hand which I took quickly and without hesitation. I mumbled a quiet thanks as he led my from the room carrying both our bags and supporting most of my weight seeing as I was quite lightheaded and dizzy.

"I know we only just met, but I wish to know why you were, or are, so upset. I'm a good listener and I'd like to help you if I can, in any way that I can," he told me smiling gently.

Even if this wasn't the Edward that my mind had created and I had fallen in love with I felt strangely comfortable with this version too. Who knows maybe they are more alike then I could have ever imagined.


I know it's really short but I would just love so reviews to tell me if I suck or not! If I don't then I'll post more! D
