Disclaimer-I Do Not Own Twilight

Chapter 2

Edward smiles. He pulls the covers around me, "Good night," He says kissing my forehead.

I feel someone shaking me lightly. I pull the sheets over my head.

"Go away," I say groggily, "I'm sleeping,"

"Cleo love," Edward laughs, "You need to get up," I sit up.

"Fine," I say rolling out of bed. I get up, and get dressed. I put on a pair of jeans, and a cream tank top. I put a red, and cream striped button up sweater over it. I put a silver head band on. My wavy chocolate brown hair falls over my shoulders. I brush my teeth and walk into my bedroom. Edward is looking at something on my desk. I walk over to him. He is looking at one of my picture frame. He is looking at the one with the purple frame with medium pink hearts around the border. I stand next to him. It is a picture of Chris, Dustin, and I. This was taken last year at my Sweet Sixteen. We're all smiling, and they both have their arms around me. Edward looks at me.

"Do you miss your old friends?" He asks me. I look up at him. Do I?

"I don't know," I say, "I mean, I could still hang out with them if I wanted too," I pause, "But . . . I don't know," I look into Edward's eyes that are an amber color.

"It's a simple yes or no answer. This is not a maybe, or I don't know question," Alexis says. I turn around to see her sitting in "her" chair in the corner. She is dressed and everything. I didn't notice her come in, I guess.

"I didn't ask you," Edward says.

"Do you know how to shut up!?" I say looking at Alexis, "Can I have one moment without you being an ass!?" Alexis smiles.

"I'll be downstairs," She says getting up, and walking out of the room. I look back at Edward. He doesn't seem upset, in fact, he looks deep in thought.

"But, do you miss them?" Edward asks again. I stop to think.

"Not really," I say, "I mean we hung out, here and there, but not all the time. I spend more time with you than I did with Dustin, and Chris," I smile.

"Are you sure?" He asks me. I nod my head.

"I'm sure," I say walking over to the door, "Coming?"

As we arrive at school, it starts to rain. I walk close to Edward as we walk over to a tree. For the most part, the tree would keep us dry. As I am standing there shivering, Alice, and Jasper walk over.

"Hi Cleo," Alice smiles. I smile back.

"Hi Alice," I say. Alice stands next to Edward, and Jasper stands next to Alice. Edward snaps his head and looks at Alice. I turn my head, and then hear the bell ring, "I'll see you at first period," I say walking towards the front door.

I sit at my desk twirling my pencil. I bite my bottom lip. Edward wasn't here yet, he usually wasn't late. Just as the bell rings, Edward walks into class.

"Nice that you could join us Mr. Cullen," My evil science teacher Ms. Foley says. Edward quickly walks over to our desk, and sits down. I look at Edward. He puts his books under the desk, and takes out a pencil, and a notebook. I start to chew on my eraser. Something is wrong, and I know that. All of a sudden, I hear a snap. I turn to look at Edward. He has snapped his pencil in half.

"Is something wrong?" I whisper. Edward looks at me.

"No," He says plainly. I turn back to the front board. Ms. Foley is writing something on the Smart Board. I open my pencil case, and take out a pencil. I hand it to Edward. He smiles.

I sit down at the lunch table. Alexis and Mallory are already sitting there. Seth and Jacob are sitting at the table too. Ugh, now I can't talk to Mal and Leck about Edward. I think sitting down.

"Hey Cleo," Alexis says taking a large sip of water. I nod my head. I take a bite of my salami sandwich; "See you guys later," Alexis says getting up with Seth.

"Where are you going?" I ask, "I just got here,"

"Yeah, well I finished so I am going," Alexis says. Seth looks at me with a confused face.

"Uh, catch ya later Cleo," He says as Alexis drags him away.

"Bye, Jacob," I say taking a sip of water.

"What, I didn't say I was going," He says baffled.

"You are now," I smile. Jacob sighs, and gets up. I move over so I am sitting next to Mallory.

"Is something wrong, Cleo?" Mallory asks.

"Yeah, kind of," I say. Mallory looks at me and smiles.

"Are you going to tell me?" She asks.

"Oh, yeah," I laugh, "Today, when Edward and I were standing under a tree this morning, Alice, and Jasper came over. No one said anything, but someone thought something that upset Edward. He didn't wait for me before class, and he was almost late to class. I asked him if something was wrong, but he said no, and then he snapped his pencil in half. I'm really worried," I finish. Mallory sits there for a moment. Mallory always knew what to do in tough situations.

"My guess is that something is going with his family," She says, "He loves you, and doesn't want to concern you. In this instance his is like you. When something is wrong, you act like nothing is going on. You rarely show your emotions," she pauses, "When you're sad that is, does that make sense?" She asks. I look at her skeptically.

"Not really," I say. Mallory rolls her eyes.

"What I'm saying is that don't think about it too much. Just ignore it. Act like you don't notice it. It's just a little thing, don't get hung up on it, or make a big deal," she smiles, "I hate it when people make a big deal of nothing," She half jokes. I knew that she was serious about hating people who make a big deal out of nothing.

"I think I get it," I say taking a sip of water.
