A/N: Thank y ou guys for the wonderful feedback and alerts. You guys make my day.

I do not own anything but the plot.


Alice and I have became close over the next few weeks. She's really nice and a great listener. Even though she was hyper all the time. It felt good to have someone I could talk about, anything really. Unfortunately, Angela and I slowly drifted apart from each other. We had no classes together and she spent most of her free time with Ben, her new boyfriend. I hate to admit it but, I was sort of jealous at the fact that she had a boyfriend and I didn't. Angela had told me once that it was because I was too picky. Well, excuse me for not wanting to settle I didn't see the point of just dating anybody if you knew that in the long run it wouldn't last. Ever since my parents divorced I viewed relationships differently. My mom had told me that the reason she did marry my father right after high school was because she didn't know what else to do with her life. I promised myself that I would never marry someone because of my own insecurities. It would be because I loved him and he loved me. End of story.

At lunch Alice and I took our usual seat outside. The weather the past weeks were amazing. We were going to enjoy the last week of the sun before the weather became cold and rainy again. The wonders of living in Forks.

"Edward is starring at you," Alice whispered out of the blue.

"Really?" I asked shocked looking up from my history homework that was due next period. Edward and I had been kind of avoiding each other since that last incident at lunch. Okay. I was actually the one purposely avoiding him. I was confused and being around him will just complicate everything.

"Yes, really" Alice said, looking past my shoulders smirking.

"How?" I asked wanting to know how his posture and facial expression was. Anything to give me clues as to why he was staring at me. This causes Alice to laugh almost choking on her water.

"What do you mean how?" She asks. I just shrug. She looks over my shoulder again and scrunches her eyes. I'm guessing analyzing his body language.

"He has his elbow on the table, sandwich in his right hand looking over here with a dreamy look on his face" She concludes. I suck my teeth not believing a word that she has said.

"No, seriously!" Alice exclaims. "But who's that girl with the blond hair" Alice asks. I snap my head in the direction of Edward's table. Oh! It's Tanya with her awesome natural strawberry blond hair looking like a total prep, with her form fitting yellow polo and striped cardigan. Her Tiffany's heart charm necklace around her neck and her make-up done to perfection. She was laughing hysterically for no reason probably trying to get Edward's attention. She held onto his forearms as she laughed. What the hell. My eyes moves to Edward and his green eyes are starring back at me curiously. I glare at him and turn back around.

"That's Tanya. She's known Edward since they were babies. I'm guessing their parents are close" I say moving the food around on my plate. Tanya and Edward would make the perfect couple. She's very ambitious pretty and smart. She even takes the medical science course at the school while I on the other hand haven't even decided what I wanted to do with my life in the future.

"I think he likes you," Alice says popping a grape in her mouth. I grimaced.

"I don't think so," I say back quietly.

After school I promised Alice I would wait for her to finish up her Art project that was due next monday but ,she wanted to be done with it today, so I wandered the halls aimlessly not knowing exactly where I was going. I heard loud cheering coming from the gym, there must be a game going on. I walk over to the gym doors and peeked through the little window. I glance at the scoreboard to found out that our team was winning. 35 to 26. It was quarter four with only 5 minutes left. I backed away from the door because I saw some people walking towards it including Edward and his two friends Emmett and Jasper.

"Oh my God! Did you see that last shot? It was practically from the other end of the court" Emmett exclaimed his dimples showing.

"Yeah, that was awesome but you know it's never gonna happen again right?" Jasper said."That was just pure luck" he added causing Edward to laugh but agreed.

" Whatever man" Emmett said. "I'll be back.I'm going to the vending machine to get some snacks" Emmett said walking off. "Wait for me," Jasper yelled after him running to catch up.

Edward stayed behind toying with his expensive looking phone. He didn't notice my presence so I decided to be the brave one and talk to him first. Taking a deep breath I walk over to him nudging his shoulder with mine. He looked up, startled causing me to laugh out loud.

"Hey," I said, calming down just a little bit.

"You scared me," He said. "What are you doing here?" He puts his phone into his back pocket.

" Um if you haven't noticed I go to this school too you know" I say looking at him with my eye brows raised.

" Oh, yeah. I forgot" He says sarcastically. I roll my eyes at him.

I didn't know what to say to him but I knew that I wanted to talk to him. Part of me hoped that he would start the conversation but, he was looking at me as if I was going to say somethingbut I didn't.

"So. . ." He starts realizing that I wasn't going to speak "Did you start Mr. Banner's essay yet?" He asks. Leave it to him to talk about school work. Gosh, what is wrong with this guy.

" Nope, not yet. I have all weekend for that" I say leaning back against the wall.

"I guess but, you can always start early to get it out the way." He replies. I don't respond back. I really didn't want to talk about school right now.

"Uh, I think I should go. My friend is waiting for me" I say walking away from him making my way to the front doors of the school building.

"Bye," he called after me.

The past few days were really confusing. Edward was sending me mixed signals and I was getting sick of it. One minute he's flashing me his adorable smile every time we pass in the halls and the next he's completely ignoring me. As for today, it's one of those "flash your cute smile" days but I wasn't giving in so easily. So when I walked into Biology class I ignored him and pretended he wasn't even there which, was really hard considering he was wore a beanie today looking really cute. I still couldn't detect the way I felt about him. I didn't know if I had a crush on him or if I just found him attractive. I set my books on the table and took out my notebook copying down the notes on the board. Usually, I would acknowledge Edward with a simple "Hey" or "Hi" or even a " What's up" but no he got none of those. He cleared his throat a few times trying to get my attention but ,I didn't give in. I hear Edward sigh for like the billionth time this whole class. The out of nowhere and turns to face me.

" So, are you. . . mad at me or something" He asked nervously scratching the back of his neck. I looked at him innocently.

"No" I say. "Why, should I be?" I asked.

"Um, no but you didn't . . . say hi to me today" He said slowly looking down at his book. I fought hard with myself not to crack a smile or giggle because seeing him nervous because of me made my stomach do backflips for some odd reason but I wasn't complaining.

" Hi" I say looking back up at the board to copy the rest of the notes. Edward didn't say anything the rest of the class period.
