Our dinner was eaten in silence. When we were both finished, Charlie turned on the TV, and watched the game. I ran upstairs and then remembered I might still have to go to gymnastics with Alice Monday. I sighed. I really didn't want to go. I wanted to find out what they were hiding. I thought about what they looked liked. I'd never seen anyone so beautiful, even on the Paris Runways. (Not I've been there, but you know what I mean.) I'd never seen their skin tone either. I'd seen pale, but never seen this pale. And the eyes. Golden and black, switching back and forth. It amazed me. And why had Tanya avoided me? Edward? Did I smell bad or something? And what did Edward see in her he didn't see in other girls? Beauty? Popularity? Something else that was odd: Alice would sometimes just zoom out. She'd stare into space. And she couldn't hear you. Her excuse is always she gets distracted easily. And when I'm near Jasper, I'm really calm. I thought more about Alice though. She talked to me on my first day of school, when I was listening to my ipod. I was listening to Paramore's Decode, and she heard it and told me she loved that song. I wasn't sure how she heard it though, because I could barely even hear it. I sighed again. And then I thought of another reason I didn't want to go to gymnastics. Tanya was in that class. But a good thing. If she was there, Edward would be too. I smiled at the thought.
