Well, here we go again. Chapter two, enjoy. Review please!

I fell asleep soon after my conversation with Edward. It was the same kind of sleep I always get, good, but not great. And I had to wake up much, much too soon.
I went through my daily routine, wake up, press snooze, take a shower, get dressed, scarf down breakfast, head to my first class of the day, which started at 10 o'clock today.
I walked across the campus, passing dozens of students going in every direction. It took only about 10 minutes to my Food and Beverage Management class. The class seemed to be in a buzz today, two days before, when I last had my class, Professor Collins said he'd have an announcement today, which was my guess why everyone was so excited.
I took a seat in the middle front of the hall. I quickly retrieved my homework from my binder and passed it to the aisle along with the other student's papers. It was right after this that Professor Collins came in, and once he did, everyone sat on the edge of their seats.
"Good Morning Class." He said, laying down his briefcase on his desk. We were studying today. Every other class we would go to a kitchen and we would get experience, with the professor watching us the whole time, grading our performance.
"Good Morning Professor Collins" The class responded, some taking longer than others.
"I suppose you all are wondering what my announcement for today was," he started, looking at all the nodding students. "And I will tell you at the end of class, so I know you're paying attention to me, instead of the clock."
A couple of students laughed and I was along them.
I didn't think that his announcement was more than anything about our grades, or the semester's final. But I pushed it from my mind, knowing that I needed to pay attention to what he was saying.
The fellow students were restless during the class, all excruciatingly anxious for what Prof. Collins had to say. And much to their relief, class came to an end.
"Alright," He started, "I suppose I can tell you what my announcement is now."
I looked down at my paper and continued to doodle on it, like I had for most of the class.
"Please!" Some man shouted from the back of the hall, and everyone laughed.
"Well, we have numerous restaurants all over the country, as you all well know." I looked up from my drawling. "And I'm sure that you've heard, multiple students from previous years, from different majors were able to take a semester and study at a different school, working in their field of practice."
This seemed really interesting, and I was completely intrigued into what he was saying. I completely shut my notebook and leaned over the desk, my curiosity taking over me.
"And this year's school will be a very well respected school, and luckily, it was time for my class to be able to study in a different school. But anyway, the school is…" he took a dramatic pause. I would sometimes wonder why he was a food handling teacher and not in drama. "One of the ivy-league colleges for sure," I was getting excited. "Can anyone guess what it is?"
No one answered; yes, of course, there weren't many Ivy-League schools, but I think everyone wanted him to just spit it out already.
"Fine, fine; this year's school is… HARVARD!"
I nearly passed out.
But I didn't. The professor went on. "All you have to do, which is out of our nature, seeing how we are a cooking class, but is to write a paper about why you should be chosen to go to Harvard, then I will read over all of them and decided which one of you gets to go.

I remember the rest of the evening being a blur, I had always hoped for something like this to happen. Something so I could get back to Edward…
But one problem, we hadn't really talked in years, excluding my breakdown over the phone yesterday. And… didn't he say that he had 'a girl'?
I mean, I would expect him to. Edward is really the perfect man; the one everyone is looking for. A perfect gentleman, funny, cute, has a great personality… I couldn't really think of a downer that he has.
I wanted to win.
I opened my laptop and opened a Word Document, I couldn't exactly figure out the words to say though, to express how greatly I wanted to go.
So I sat there for a half of an hour, typing words, erasing them, then retyping them in a different order.
I was shocked when my cell phone rang in my pocket; I jumped up, causing the laptop to fall onto the floor and my bed ended up in disarray.
An average thing for Bella Swan.
"Hello?" I said, breathless into the phone.
"Bella? Are you ok?" I instantly lightened up, it was him. He kept his word, he was calling me back. When he said that yesterday, I didn't believe him, and did not think about it all day, I didn't want to get my hopes up, and then have to watch them fall.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I smiled into the phone. "I just got… startled… when you called." I answered. He laughed.
I swear, it was the most beautiful thing that could ever be heard.
"Oh Bella," He said, "My Bella, what am I going to do with you?" I barked out a laugh; it sounded awkward to say the least. Definitely could not be compared to the beauty of his laugh.
"Hmm… I believe I have heard this one before." I joked, wanting him to laugh again; secretly prodding him with my mind to.
"I believe you have. So… are you feeling any better today?" he asked. It was nice to know that he cared.
"I am. I'm in a really good mood actually."
"Oh? And why is that?" He asked.
"Well…" I started, and then I launched into the story about how one of the students could be picked to move over to the campus for a semester, study there and then practice.
He was thrilled, and he encouraged me to write the Best damned paper that man has ever seen. His words, not mine.
So after that, we talked for awhile, about his life, about my life. Both of staying away from the topic of other relationships we've had.
But all too soon, Tanya, his new girlfriend came over to his dorm, so obviously, he had to go.
"Alright, well good luck on that paper," He said.
"Thank you very much."
He chuckled, his laugh was almost a drug, it was so addicting.
"Edward?"
"Hmm?" He responded.
"I wish that it could've worked out between us."
"Me too Bella, me too."
