A/N: I'm so sorry about the delay everyone! I know I said I'd post chapter 2 on Tuesday but I had to finish an essay, so here it is!
By the way, Edward is a vampire and the reason that he only talks to Bella is because they share a connection, and Edward feels that immediately.
I'll answer the reviews on the last chapter soon!

I could feel all the stares and whispers as Edward and I walked into the cafeteria together, and I guess I was kind of awkward but proud at the same time, with Adonis, wait, Edward by my side.
I took a soda and payed for it.
"Aren't you gonna eat anything?, " Edward asked
"Aren't you?" I asked, smiling mockingly.
He shook his head and when I asked why he said he wasn't hungry.
Lunch went by quickly, and before I knew it the bell rang.
Edward took my books for me and held out his hand to me: "Shall we, mi'lady?"
I giggled and took his hand, and that's when I noticed that he was cold as ice.
"Hey, are you ok? You're so cold…," I asked and stared at him wide-eyed.
"Yeah, don't worry, I'm fine," was his vague answer.
He seemed to avoid to make eye contact with me on our way to biology, but then, as if the conversation never happened, he turned to me and said:
"I guess you're stuck with me. You're my lab partner." He winked.
I practically beamed with happiness at that.
Unfotunately, Mr. Mason decided to start his lecture at that moment, so we couldn't talk any more.
We were informed by the teacher that we had a lab partner project, that was growing two grass plants, one with air and sunlight and one without sunlight with vacuum.
It was a do-at-home project so Edward and I decided to go to my house as soon as school ended. He told me he could give me a ride home, and he could pick up my truck later, and I excitedly agreed to that.
Riding in a car with Adonis himself… I'm so close to swooning.
Suddenly Edward's face appeared in front of me: "Are you okay Bella? You totally spaced out for a moment there. Class has ended."
"I'm fine Edward. Um, do you have PE too now?" I asked, but his answer was no. He told me he'd wait for me in his car when his next class ended. I was surprised when he lifted his hand, the gentlest touch, an electric jolt running through my body. After he did that he just turned around and walked away.
In gym I didn't pay attention to anything particular at all, I was just thinking about Edward.
Why does he look so sad sometimes? He tries to hide it, but I saw it today at lunch when I asked about his family. He said that they were out of town for the spring, but I knew that was a lie because of his anxious expression.
My reverie of thoughts was broken when I felt a ball thumping against my head, and five feet away stood a wide eyed Mike. He ran over to me and asked me if I was okay, and if there was anything he could do to help, but I muttered that I was fine. But then I started feeling wobbly in my legs, and fell.
I saw nothing.
Some minutes later, I don't know how many, I woke up to a velvet soft voice, saying:
"Bella, love, are you hurt? Please wake up!"
"Edward," I whispered and opened my eyes.
"Thank god you're okay. I took you to the nurse, she's on the phone but she said she'd be here any minute."
The nurse came then, and put an icepack on my head where Mike hit it.
"There's always someone. Are you okay dear?" She asked, and I said I was fine and asked if I could go home. She said that it was best, so I went to stand beside Edward, and he was glaring at the floor, a mix of genuine concern and something else on his face – fury?
"Edward, let's go. I'm fine. What's wrong?" I asked after I got permission from Mrs. Cope to go home and we were on the parking lot. He went to an abrupt halt and turned to me.
"I was so worried something would happen to you, I mean, look at your head, you could've got a concussion!" He said, pulling on his hair.
"Oh, yeah? I've had so much worse." I chuckled. He smiled at that.
"Bella, you are utterly absurd."
