Chapter 2:

Bella got off work at 5 thirty, a half hour earlier that normal. Her clothes were covered in grease from her fall earlier, and she sported a huge bluish bruise on her arm, and one on her hip.

Bella walked home, for it was only about a mile away, and she didn't have a car. The December weather was cold, but luckily not snowy or icy.

Like every other night, Bella thought about Edward on her way home. She was mesmerized by his eyes, the green eyes, and his unusual hair. He was always wearing a suit of some sort, each making him more gorgeous.

I can only imagine what it looks like under the suit, Bella thought darkly…

Being nineteen, in a place that she didn't know well, and in college, Bella was naive. She had a small apartment of her own, a crappy job at McDonald's, and a major crush on a guy who doesn't know my name.

Maybe if I wasn't making his burgers he might notice me, Bella thought.

But Bella quickly disregarded that, remembering that no guy, other than Mike, would ever like her. She thought herself plain, with wavy brown hair, and dull, uninteresting eyes, also brown.

Bella walked quickly to her apartment, her black uniform blending into the black night. Once inside, she changed into jeans and a t-shirt. She had one message from Jasper, her friend from Forks, where she grew up, who also attends the same college here in Tacoma. They have been friends since elementary school.

"Hey Jasper!" Bella said, happy coloring her voice.

"Hey Bella, how was today's shift at McDonald's?"

"Absolutely wonderful, if you take out slipping and falling on my ass and Mike, then it was… well, no wait, it was shit."

"I can tell. Well, my day at Starbucks wasn't any better…" his voice hinted something else though.

"Did you see Alice again?" Bella asked, knowing that Jasper had.

"Yes, she actually said my name too! She ordered her usual, a caramel macchiato with triple shots and extra whip cream and caramel, and she said 'Jasper'. I couldn't move, it had sounded like an angel had sang my name." Jasper sighed, and Bella sighed too.

There love lives have never been the best. Bella has never had a boyfriend, and Jasper only had one girl friend in the ninth grade. That lasted about a week, and she dumped him.

After an hour of talking, Bella had to go. She had a huge test tomorrow in her English class which she was dreading.

She was up until one in the morning, had an eight o'clock class, and then a double shift at McDonald's tomorrow.

Lucky Me Bella thought wryly.
