Chapter 2

Edward's POV:

I sat down in my usual seat, by myself. I was completely failing biology, so I guess it was good that I didn't have any distractions. Whilst Mr Banner tried to get the class to shut up, I sorted through last week's notes, attempting to make sense of it all. No such luck. I let out a frustrated groan, and went to slam my head against the table, only to be stopped by a small, cool, marble-like hand.

"Killing even more of your brain cells isn't going to help with that." She teased in her sing song voice, and I was instantly aware of who was speaking to me.

"I don't see how it could make things any worse." I grumbled, and looked up at her flawless face. Despite only seeing her about five minutes ago, my breath hitched. Bella pressed her lips together as if she were trying not to laugh.

Before I could attempt to make any further conversation, Mr Banner dove into a lecture that took up the entire period. Annoying old man. Any time I opened my mouth to speak to Bella he shot me down with a glare. She seemed to find the whole situation hilarious. I settled for writing notes to quench my boredom.

So where'd you and your family move from?

If you're failing biology, shouldn't you be paying attention?

How'd you know I'm failing?

I can just tell. But we moved from Alaska.

Why?

None of your business ;) You lived in Fork's your whole life?

Yeah. Parents moved from Chicago when they found out mom was pregnant with me.

Chicago's cool. I prefer NY, though.

Never been. You guys travel a lot?

As much as we can. You an only child?

Yep. All alone ;(

Trust me, you're better off.

You got a favourite sibling?

Oh, I have list. It changes daily though.

What's todays order?

1 Emmett, because he took the blame for me smashing Esme's vase.

2 Rosalie, because she was on my side for letting me ride my motorcycle to school.

3 Jasper, because he's not annoying, but is always on Alice's side

4 Alice, because she insisted on doing my hair this morning

If it's any consolation, your hair does look nice

I know, but don't you dare tell her that!

You're welcome?

I didn't say thank you ;) has anyone ever told you how feminine your handwriting is?

Shut up.

The bell rang, and Bella packed up her things so quickly that it hurt my eyes. She left the classroom shortly after shooting me a small smile. I grinned back, though I knew she didn't catch it. I scrunched up the piece of paper and shoved it in my backpack, and groaned when I realised I had wasted yet another valuable bio lesson. Well not exactly wasted in my opinion, but I still didn't learn anything to do with science.

I shrugged and headed off to music, still buzzing from the mini conversation.

Bella's POV:

Last period finally came around, and I made my way over to the gym. Alice managed to catch me in the hallway and pulled me over to her.

"Why are you looking so happy today?"

I raised my eyebrows, and suddenly became aware of the uncharacteristic smile plastered on my face. "Am I not allowed to just be happy?"

She waited.

"C'mon, Alice. Fresh start and all, I'm just trying to make the most of it. Now I'm going to be late for gym if you don't let me go!"

She sighed. "Fine then. But by the way, I saw your list. And may I just say- not cool. Not cool at all, Bella. Believe me when I say that you'll pay for this."

I laughed at the angry expression on her little pixie-like face. "See you later!"
