Note: Well, this just went through editing as well. And sorry to the people who have me on alerts thinking I posted a new chapter. Sadly, that's not the case. Like I said, editing.

(Bella's POV)

When lunch came I was suddenly nervous about Edward being there. I knew my other friends would be eating there to, but Edward made me nervous...in a good way I guess.

I hadn't had any classes with him so far and for some reason I felt sad about that. I walked through the lunch line and grabbed a slice of pizza, an apple, a coke, and chocolate pudding.

I carefully placed my Pride and Prejudice book on my lunch tray. I saw the table my friends and I usually sat at. Alice waved me over, but I shook my head. Edward and his brothers were there already.

I waved my book to show them I was going to go eat outside. I could see the perplexed looks on their faces as I turned from them and headed outside.

I went to the picnic table I had sat at this morning. I sat on top of the tableand set my tray beside me.

I wasn't sure how long I sat out there. I had eaten my pizza quickly and was I heard the double doors to the lunch room open.
My head snapped up to see Edward Cullen headed towards me. He had a friendly look on his face, but something told me my friends had sent him.

For more than one reason.

"There you are, Bella" Edward sighed in relief as he stopped a few feet in front of me. "My friends sent you to get me, didn't they?" I asked, getting to the point.

He looked a little sheepish "Pretty much, but I wont drag you back, I can't see how you survive that lunch room everyday" He faked a shudder.
I let out a slight laugh at that. "Your exactly right" I nodded with a smile. "May I sit?" Edward asked in a polite tone. "Of course" I worked to make my voice light, trying to hide the irrational joy I felt.

I moved my food tray so it was settled between Edward and myself. Edward picked up my apple and turned it in his hands. "Does something about the food I eat interest you?" I asked lightly, eyeing him perspectively.

Edward focused on the apple as he spoke "Actually... I just want to know if I can have it" I laughed at his light hearted attitude.
He seemed so warm and friendly. "Knock yourself out" I told him with a shrug. He bit into the apple and I couldn't help but memorize his face. Every perfect angle.

He swallowed then turned to me. "Pride and Prejudice?" Edward arched his eyebrow as he stared down at my book. I dog eared the page I was on and closed the book.

"Yeah, we've got to read it for English" I told him lamely. Like he wouldn't know that! my thoughts again scolded me for being so stupid.
"I know, its one of my favorites" Edward nodded. I saw the twinkle in his green eyes dim as if he was embarrassed. He didn't blush though.
"Really? mine too" I said in agreement and his eyes lit back up. "Well, who doesn't love a good book that's based in a time when royalty and weath ruled" Edward chuckled.

"Ah yes, but Elizebeth was impressed by neither" I contradicted him. I barely noticed we were leaning closer to one another. "And of course her pride was holding her back from being with Mr. Darcy" Edward's voice was a whisper now as he leaned in closer.

"Along with the prejudice in the book, after all she was poor and he was rich" I whispered now as well. "From two different worlds, and yet, they loved" Edward spoke soflty, I could feel his wonderful breath on my face.

I knew our lips were milimeters away from eachother's, but I didn't want to pull away.

Then...

The shrill bell rang and we both pulled back. Neither of us spoke for the momentary shock, but then Edward hopped off the table and turned to me.

"By the way, Renesmee wanted me to tell you that everyone's coming over to our house on Friday for studying" Edward spoke nonchalantly.
He was good at acting as if nothing had happened. No wait, I could see it in his eyes again. They were shocked and filled with longing.
It sent a strange thrill of joy though me.

"Um, what's your next class?" I asked, not moving. "Biology" He shrugged. I couldn't hide my smile. "Mine too, looks like we have a class to get to" I was simply giddy, like I was five. It made no sense.

"Looks like we do" He spoke happily, as if he had the same feelings as I did. I stood on the plank of a seat and made the smallest jump to get off it. Of course it didn't go smoothly. My feet hit the ground and I couldn't retain my balance..

I fell backwards and waited for my head to meet the ground.
It never did. I felt two strong arms wrapped around me. I looked up to see Edward holding me to him. I stopped breathing and blushed crimson.

It was amazing how perfectly I fit in his arms. Like they were made to hold me. I felt an electrical wave pass through us and for a moment neither of us moved.

I decided to right myself and Edward let go of me "Thank you" I mumbled, still blushing. "No problem, I told you, if you need my help, you'll get it" Edward told me sincerely.

I smiled "lets...lets get to class" I muttered and we walked to the six hundred building as kids filed out of the lunch room.
Well, that was an interesting conversation.

That's the redone version of chapter two. Yeah, I know, not much changed. But hey, what's being done is being done.
