03:42

I stood alone on a shore that expanded for miles and miles. The breeze was rough through my tangled, brown hair, and I could feel the rain starting to fall. I didn't understand why I was there, but I couldn't find the strength to turn around and face my crashing world. I simply stood, facing the dark ocean and listening to the sound of crashing waves.

"Bella…" I heard from behind me.

I closed my eyes and felt my heart clench with the sound of his voice.

"Bella, please listen to me…" The velvet voice blended into the airwaves.

With my eyes still shut, I tilted my head downwards with a faint smile on my lips. He was here.

"Miss Swan! Miss Swan!" Where did he go?

Instantly my eyes opened when I heard my history teacher calling my name.

"Sorry Mr. Nelson…" I mumbled.

"We'll talk after class Bella." He stated firmly.

I smiled and nodded. I can't believe I was daydreaming AGAIN. It was the third time this week I had deluded myself into dreaming about him again…

Who is him you may ask? His name is Edward. Edward Cullen, he was on the soccer team. He was a mixture of a Greek Adonis and David Beckham, and he was on honor roll too. Vice president of our class, soon to be captain of the soccer team, plays the piano, gorgeous green eyes…

Dammit Bella! No more daydreaming! I scolded myself in my head.

RIINNGGG!

The bell caused me to jump, and all the students filed out of the classroom. I packed up my school books and shoved them into my orange backpack. I threw it over my left shoulder and walked towards Mr. Nelson, who was standing with his back to me.

"Bella," He began, "You know you're one of my best students. Your essays are always articulate and logical and I was so pleased when you accepted my AP history course…"

"Thanks Mr. Nelson." I had no idea where he was going with this.

"But recently you've looked so… ditached from the lesson. Is it because your with the seniors?" He inquired, still not facing me.

I thought about his accusation quickly. I was in an AP class with seniors, whilst being a junior, but that wasn't what was distracting me… I guess that excuse will have to do.

"Mr. Nelson, all of your lectures are really interesting.. I guess I just feel kinda awkward being the only junior." PLEASE BELIEVE ME PLEASE BELIEVE ME….

"Alright Bella, I believe you," He said, turning to face me for the first time. "Just keep your grades up in this class and you're a shoe- in for Princeton," he stabbed his index finger once towards me, smiling.

"Let's hope so…" I said, giving him a small smile.

"Let me know if you need anything, it's only the first semester of school." He finished.

"Thanks Mr. Nelson, see you tomorrow," I waved and walked slowly out the door.

As soon as I left his room I started speed walking through the many students that crowded the hallways of Forks High. I scoffed at myself for giving my history teacher such a lame excuse about not paying attention.

When I finally reached my locker, I was more than relieved to see my best friends, Alice and Rosalie waiting for me.

"Where have you been?! I tried calling you like 80 times!" Alice whined.

"Jeez Alice, I'm sorry.. I had to stay after class and talk to Mr. Nelson-"

"What was it this time… Princeton talk or 'distractions in class'?" Rose asked, squinting her eyes and putting her hands on her hips.

I sighed, squeezing my eyes shut as I replied "both."

"Well I'm glad you're here because I have HUGE news!" Alice squealed.

I turned to start opening my locker, and she leaned her back against the lockers next to mine. "What is it this time Alice? More dirt on Jasper?" I smirked.

"Oh please Bella! Don't act like the only soccer-player-obbsessed one is me!" She said smiling.

I raised my eyebrows and looked at her. "I have no idea what your talking about…" with a hint of amusement in my voice. I could see her eyes widen as I turned back to my locker and continued packing my bag for the weekend.

Rosalie pretended to sneeze while intwining the word "Edward" into her "ACHOO".

I rolled my eyes and looked back to her. "Point taken, okay?" Rose smirked at me and smiled, rolling her eyes. "Now what's this oh-so-amazing news?"

" Ok so apparently, Mr. Banner has organized for the juniors to take a class field trip for a WHOLE WEEK to the beach!" She said clapping her hands together.

"Alice, I hate to break it to you, but we live in Washington. The beaches here are gross and cold and rainy-"

"Which is why we're allowed to go anywhere we want!" Alice squeaked with excitement.

"What?!" I turned abruptly when I heard the location, and I bumped into someone walking down the hallway.

"Sorry…" I started to mumble when I looked up into who I ran into.

"Don't worry about it." Edward Cullen smiled down at me.

I blushed and stared down. "thanks…" I mumbled.

He laughed quietly. "No problem… Cya around," He said walking backwards but still looking at me. Our gazes locked for a split moment, and he backed into someone else who threw their arm around his torso and turned him around.

"Edward! You're here! Time to party it up this weekend!" Emmett Cullen's voice boomed through the hallways.

Edward finally broke the glance and started talking to Emmett the bear.

I sighed and stopped looking at him, turning back to face my friends. "I still can't believe you dated Emmett, Rose."

"So we hooked up a few times over the summer. Back at school, we don't even talk to each other," Rose told us. I felt bad for her, I could tell she really liked him.

I looked towards my short little friend, waiting for her to explode on me about what just happened with Edward. Alice had her eyes squeezed shut and her lips pressed tight together.

"Don't say anything, Alice." I stated firmly, blushing.

"Fine," She muttered, "He's looking at you right now though."

My life could have ended right there and I would have been satisfied.

I promise it will get longer, and more interesting. Please review! Next chapter will be up ASAP!
