It was the first day of September. The cool wind swirled the air in light wisps. The sky was grey today, almost as if it were going to rain. It didnt always rain in autumn, just sometimes. But in spring it stormed like crazy.
My Birthday was in twelve days, I was turning seventeen, nothing all the special. I havent really talked to my mom, I knew that she was surprised at my outburst. I never, ever swore. So that must of been a surprise.
Reluctently, I got out of my warm bed to take a shower. I lathered up my body and hair, when I was all done I stepped out and wrapped a towel around my body. I dried off my body and exchanged my towel for a robe.
I blew dried my hair and then curled it, which didnt take long. While going to my closet I picked out a grey v-neck sweater that buttoned up, with a pair of jeans. I made sure to grab a black tanktop under the sweater. I slipped it all on and grabbed a pair of gym shoes. When I was finished I brushed my teeth.
Quickly, I grabbed my bag from the floor and shoved in my books and notebooks, then grabbed my black peacoat from the back of my chair. I then proceeded to jog downstairs, my dad was in the kitchen drinking a cup of coffee, along with my mother. I slipped on my coat and buttoned it up.
I reached into the cabinet and grabbed a strawberry nutri-grain bar.
" Later." I said before rushing out. My keys were on the small hook board, I grabbed them and ran out of the house. My car was a sleek black mercedes. When I got in, I threw my bag on the passenger seat and drove off.
When I arrived at the school I grabbed my bag and walked through the parking lot, everyone was by their cars and talking with friends, when I got into the school I went straight to my locker to get a few things.
----
My first classes went by slowly. My thoughts consumed of nothing but him, my mind couldnt let him go for some odd reason. I knew I had grown to have a crush on him, and I knew it was wrong considering our parents are rivals. It's like the newest version of Romeo and Juliet, how cliche, right?
The bell rang, releasing me to go to lunch. I sat with Angela, like I always do. We chatted awhile, she was talking about my birthday. But I didnt seem to be paying attention. Lately my attention span has been better then a def dog.
" Bella." Angela said.
My head snapped in her direction " What?"
" You've been out of this world for weeks. Whats going on."
I rested my elbows on the table " It's just this guy."
She smiled " Aww Bella's got a crush. Who is he?"
" His names Edward." I said shyly
" So. Go for him."
I sighed " Trust me Ang. It's not that easy. I met him at that event my dad dragged me to. Found out he is the son of Carlisle Cullen."
She gasped " You mean the guy that your dad hates. And your mom hates his wife."
I nodded " I didnt even know. We were just dancing and they just burst in."
" Was it that bad."
" His mom called me a devil child." I said dryly " But Angela." I paused " I seriously, I felt a connection as stupid as it sounds. But I really like him and I dont even know anything but his name."
She patted my hand " Sorry Bells."
" It's just weird. I've never liked anyone. Everyday my mom was asking me if I saw him, finally I got angry and yelled at her."
" Well, if you like him, fight for him. But only if he's worth it."
With that the bell rang, she stood up and bid me goodbye before running to class. I stood up, swung my bag over my shoulder and trudged off to Biology.
When I walked in, I got a surprise. Sitting in the seat that was normally empty, was none other than, Edward Cullen. His hair was in a disaray, making it look crazy, his emerald green eyes sparked beautifuly
I sat down on the wooden stool and set my bag down. Feeling a little shy.
" I finaly found you." I heard him whisper.
Shock coursed through me. He wanted to know where I was?
" How long have you been looking?" I asked
" I kept switching classes until I found you."
The smile broke out on my face and I didnt bother to stop it. My glance was down at the table as I fumbled with my fingers
" Why?"
He smiled at me " I cant seem to get you off my mind."
Mr. Malina went on and on, not noticing that silent conversation. Which for that I was thankful, I couldnt exactly explain getting detention to my parents. They would blow a fit, if I said that I was talking to Edward. I didnt want to have that conversation with them.
When the bell rang it was time to part. So reluctently I got my stuff together and stood up.
" Nice talking with you Bella." Edward said, while staring deep into my eyes.
I nodded " Same here."
With that I dissapeared into the crowd of running highschool kids.
----
Gym went by quickly, and surprisingly unpainfully.
I stopped at my locker before heading out of the school. Rain was pelting down on the ground making it slipperly. Carefully I walked to the passenger side of my car and unlocked it, I threw my bag in, then shut the door
" Eddie."
My gaze turned from my car and to the person who just said that. I searched around until my eyes landed on Edward, who was across the lot with Lauren Mallory next to him. She was batting her eyelashes and smiling. He was talking to her softly and I desperately wanted to know what he was saying.
A frown formed on her face as she stomped off. He had an unreadable expression plastered on his face. I was dying to know what he was thinking.
Edward looked up and his eyes met mine. I gave him a small smile before stepping into my car.
----
Soon I arrived home and shuffled into my house. My mom wasnt there like she normally was, but when I walked into the kitchen she was right there, tapping her nails on the hard wood of the table.
She must of saw the big smile on my face, thats why she questioned me.
" Why are you so happy?" She asked dryly.
" No reason." was my brilliant reply.
Her eyes narrowed in on me " You better not of-"
" Mom, if I saw him, I saw him." I said calmly
She didnt say anything to that, I knew she wanted an apology.
" Mom, I am sorry for yelling at you, it was uncalled for. I just went overboard, but you pushed me there."
She nodded, but still stayed quiet.
What else do I say?
-------
When my dad came home we ate dinner quietly. Sandra, our maid cleaned up our dishs and I dissapeared into my room. First I did my homework, for the day, and wrote my English paper that was due Thursday. I did only a little bit, I had a ways to go. But soon my eyes started to droop with tiredness, so I shut down my laptop.
I then took a quick shower and changed out of my already worn clothes.
My room was dark, only the light silver glow of the moon that shone threw my window. I laid in my bed and tucked the sheets over my body.
Soon falling into a dreamless sleep.

Two days later
-----
Today was Wednesday, just another day.
As I handed in my English paper at the end of the class, the bell rang. Signaling it was lunch hour, I walked back to my desk and swung my bag over my shoulder. When I walked out of the class I went straight to the multi purpose room. I sat at my normal table, with Angela, Eric and Jessica.
" Hey Bella." Eric said.
" Hey." I responded. I sat down and held my water bottle, not feeling hungry.
" Bella are you alright, you look a little pale." Angela asked
I glanced at her, she looked genuinely concerned about me.
" I'm alright, just a little nauseous is all."
She nodded and turned back to Jessica.
----
The rest of my classes went on. I saw Edward in Biology and yearned to talk to him.
When the school day ended I got in my car and drove to the library. This morning I made sure to put my laptop in my bag, so I could go to the library, I needed to do a little research. My paper was on Shakespear, I had to find every last detail I could about him, almost like a biography
So when I arrived I grabbed my laptop bag and stepped out of the car. I quickly locked it up and walked up the cement stairs of the library. When I got in I went straight for the table that was closest as to where I needed to get some books. I set up my laptop and looked down the rows of books. I flipped threw some that looked good, I came out with three. I brought them to the table and opened the first one.
---
The hour went on like that, I looked through the books. Luckily I didnt find different facts in each book, they were all similar.
I then heard a sudden voice.
" Mind if I sit?" I heard a velvelty voice ask
My head snapped up at the familar sound of the voice, my eyes met with bright green ones.
" No, go ahead." I said.
He nodded and took a seat, pulling out his own laptop.
" Paper?" He asked
I nodded " Shakespeare."
" Same here. Probably the same paper"
I gave him a small smile " The books I have here are very well, but only if your looking for information about him." I said.
He smiled " Thanks, Bella."
I nodded and turned back to my laptop, continuing to type away. It was a little hard to concentrate knowing that Edward was only a few feet away from me.
I heard as he flipped the books. Occasionally my eyes would flicker towards him, I couldnt help but glance.
Then my phone rang, Clair De Lune playing. I quickly grabbed it.
" Hello." I said quietly.
" Bella, where are you. You better not be with him."
I groaned internally " Libarary, writing a paper. I'll be home soon."
" Alright." my father sighed
With that I hung up my phone and all but threw it on the table. I let out the groan that wanted to escape.
" There a problem?" I heard him ask.
My head snapped up " Nothing, just my parents driving me up a wall ask- wait, nevermind you dont want to hear about my problems." I said a blush coming up to my cheeks
" I think I could keep up." He said
I flipped my laptop closed " Well ever since that night we met and were forced to stay away from eachother. My parents just went crazy, so everyday I come home they tell me that I better not of been with you, or the consequences will be nothing but light."
" I know what you mean." was his reply
I gave him a curious glance " Do you?"
He nodded " They do the same to me everday. Sometimes, I just...cant take it because it drives me insane and it makes me think of you more." his voice sounded strangled.
I looked at him in understanding, I knew how it felt. The longing to be with him.
" What are you thinking." He whispered
" That I know how it feels." I said hesitantly
His eyes burned with intensity as he stared at me. I glanced at him and his gaze softened.
" Whats your favorite color?" He asked
I laughed " Blue."
He closed his laptop and put it to the side " Same here."
" Favorite food category, and what food in the category?" I asked
He chuckled " I would have to say italian, dont really have a favorite in the category. You?"
" Italian. What makes you agrivated?"
" Teeth grinding. What about you."
" When people bicker."
He nodded and smiled at me, making my heart melt " Birthday?"
" September thirteenth."
His eyebrows raised " About a week or so."
I nodded " Yours?"
" June twentieth."
" Age?" I asked
" Seventeen. You?"
" Sixteen, almost seventeen."
He looked at me, wanting another question. I was confused as to why he was so into our twenty questions game. So it went on like that, for I dont know how long. But I was so into it that I wanted to go on forever. He shared childhood stories with me as I with him. We laughed about anything and everything.
I then heard his phone ring. He smiled.
" Hear this." he said
I nodded. He answered his phone and put it on speaker.
" Hey mom."
"Edward! where are you. Oh you better not be with that...that devil child. I swear you better tell me where you are."
My eyes widdened.
" I'm at the library, home soon." He said.
" Good, your father and I have been worried."
He rolled his eyes " Bye mother."
" Bye darling."
He flipped his phone shut.
" Devil child." I stated " Your mother is very creative."
" My parents hate yours with such passion. I hear them go on talking about how they are trash and scum. I just dont believe someone could be that bad."
I nodded " Your parents cant be that bad if you get to know them, right?"
He shrugged " Depends. But I dont know, they judge alot by looks." He said.
" Yeah, same with my parents."
" You know this is kinda wrong right?" He asked
I looked into his eyes " I know." I whispered
My arm was limp on the table. I felt Edward's hand cover mine, creating shocks and sparks up my arm and throughout my whole body. He looked at me, his face unreadable like it was the other day. I just wanted to lean forward and kiss him, the urge was strong. But I fought it, thinking about how wrong it would be.
Anyways, he wouldnt like me. I was just someone to talk to, maybe a friend.
" I know that this is some kind of stupid version of Romeo and Juliet, or something like that. But I like talking with you, I like it alot."
I looked down at the table a blush creeping up to my face.
" Your blush is beautiful." He said. I slowly looked up at him. " Sorry that was a little to forward."
I smiled "No, it was very sweet Edward."
-------
My Birthday came and went quickly, for that I was glad. My parents had thrown a party, of which my family came. Sadly I was inable to escape it. My parents had gotten me a new stereo system.
Edward... well we talked to eachother whenever we could, sometimes outside of school, but out of our parents eye. We escaped to the park and practicly any place that we could be alone. For my Birthday he had gotten me a present, the new Muse and Linkin Park cd. For that I was thankful, those small things mean alot to me.
My parents always questioned my lateness, or why I went out quite often. Edward told me his parents did the same. Our normal excuse was being with friends. We didnt know how long that they would buy that but for know that was our answer.
Angela constantly teased me about us being together secretly. I of coursed refused her, simply because we werent together. Although it sometimes seemed liked it. My feelings towards him only got stronger.
When he would walk me to a class, his slim fingers would brush from the apple of my cheek to my jaw, then he would just dissapear. When we parted from eachother, he would always give me a hug.
I always had a good time with him, but there was a feeling in the pit of my stomach, making me feel like I was betraying my parents in some way. I shrugged it off most the time, but the feeling was there. I wasnt sure if Edward felt the same way, though we do talk about this whole dispute between our parents, and we both agree that it is pointless and unfair that they try and keep us apart from eachother. That rule was already broken long, long ago.
Today was the twenty seventh of September, it was a cool Saturday. The wind wisped in the air, bringing a chill to my skin as I walked down the sidewalk.
