AN: This probably isn't as good as the first chapter but ho hum pigs bum.

In the Cafeteria

In a room full of babbling teenagers Edward always found it hard to concentrate and especially in the school cafeteria. He was aware that Bella was talking to him and what she was actually saying was this.

"Charlie is seriously bugging me, I mean its Bella this or Bella that or Bella don't you think you should be seeing less of that Edward boy and then he gives me this look." Bella paused to raise her eyebrows, cross her arms and tap her foot impatiently on the floor. "I tell him to stop but he just starts wagging his finger at me, always with the finger. Wag, wag, wag." Bella wagged her finger at Edward in imitation.

What Bella didn't know was Edwards mind was completely filled with Angela thoughts. She was sitting just a couple of seats along and was cobbling on (there it is again.) about getting her haircut while examining her split ends and pretending to listen to Jessica babbling on about whether Nancy Madrid and Nicolas Park where still going out or not.

Should I cut it off or leave it long? Should I cut it off or leave it long? Should I cut it off or leave it long? The words bounced round Edward's head and Bella's finger wagged along in time with them.

"I mean what do you think I should do about it?" said Bella coming to the end of her rant.

Edward said the first thing that came in to his head.

"You should cut it off." he blurted out. Bella looked at him confused and slightly frightened.

"Cut Charlie's finger off Edward?" she asked tentatively. The rest of the Cullens heard her and edged along the table with Bella, away from the exasperated Edward who started mashing up the plate of shepherd's pie in front of him in frustration.
