So you would think that it would have been the dean or a teacher come to talk to the class, but guess who was at the door? Yeah,you guessed it…that guy…again!How do I keep running into this guy?!?

Well apparently he is on the comity for the trip I'm going on and he had come to talk to the students attending the trip.I was so embarrassed when he called my name.

Then I realized…I was the only one in the class going. What would he do once we are alone together? Would he ask me why I didn't thank him for picking up my books? Or maybe he knew I had followed him into the cafeteria.

He finally finished apologizing for the interruption and walked over ever so casually. It felt like an eternity! The whole time, he had his eyes locked on mine. I couldn't move. Why did he have so much affect on me?

When he got about a foot from me, he stopped. He started talking about the trip.

The only thing I could think of was WOW! I had never heard his voice before. It was so beautiful. It was the most beautiful male voice I had ever heard. I couldn't believe this guy was real.

Just then, he stopped talking. He looked at me and asked;

-Are you even listening to me?

I had just realized that I hadn't actually been paying attention to what he was saying. I was only listening to his voice.

-Sorry, I kinda zoned out.

He gave me a funny look and that little crooked smile appeared. How it made me want to just jump on him!

I couldn't really do that, since I don't even know him.

He began talking again about the trip. I actually paid attention , seeing as I needed this information. As I was listening I realized that the trip had been canceled!

I couldn't hold myself back.

-HOW COULD THEY JUST CANCEL THE TRIP LIKE THAT!!!!

He was not shocked by my response. Instead, he just told me to relax and that we were going to have a meeting in an hour, after classes.

I took in a deep breath and exhaled slowly. It helped. As I did so, he gave me another smile and walked away.

I went back in class. The teacher gave me a dirty look, but did not say anything. I took my seat in silence knowing that all eyes were on me.

After class, I rushed over to the apartment to find Alice sitting there watching TV. I told her about the meeting I was going to and how they had canceled my trip. I didn't mention that guy, because I know she would have just gotten frustrated again and locked herself in her room, so she wouldn't hear about him again.

I walked over to the school and found the room in which we were having the meeting. When I walked in, I saw that I wasn't the first one there. There were a few people I had recognized from previous meetings, but could not remember their names.

I took a seat and prepared myself for a long meeting. The highlight of this meeting was when he walked into the room. He looked like a super model. I couldn't believe this guy was real.

As he took his seat, he looked in my direction and gave me that crooked smile again. The effect never seems to diminish. The meeting seemed to go on for hours. They just kept repeating how we didn't have enough money, and then out of the blue, the guy interrupts and offers to give the group the money that we were missing. I was in total shock. How could he have that much money?!? We were taking about like 10 to 12 thousand dollars!!!

The board refused to take his money. They said they could not take his money, they said it would be wrong.

He just shrugged it off and settled back into his seat and listened quietly during the rest of the meeting.

After the meeting everyone cleared the room rather quickly. I tried to get out of there as fast as I could, but obviously not fast enough. He caught me just before I walked out the door.

-Can we talk for a minute?

I just nodded and followed him down the hall. I had no idea where he was taking me.

-Ok, so what did you want to talk about?

-I've been thinking a lot lately and I realized that I have been avoiding you.

This was not what I expected to hear.

-Why would you be avoiding me?

-Well…it is really hard to explain.

He looked at me with eyes that seem to be asking to drop the subject.

-Okay…maybe you'll tell me another time

-I promise I will.

-I'll hold you to that, you know.

He looked at me curiously for a minute and continued walking. I had hardly noticed that we had stopped.

For the first time, I actually felt normal around him, even though this was kind of acward at the same time. I can't believe the he hadn't even told me his name.

We came to a flight of stairs that I had never seen before. I stopped and just watched him go up the first few steps and turn around.

-What's wrong?

-Nothing, I've just never seen this stair case before.

-I'm not surprised. Few people know this part of the building.

-How did you find it?

-One of my classes was near by and it had been cancelled for the day. So, I decided to explore this section of the building and that's how I found it.

-Cool.

-So, do you want to see what's up here or not?

-Now, why would I go up a staircase with a total stranger in a part of the building I don't know?

-Because he's charming.

He flashed that crooked smile and I just melted.

-By the way, what is your name?

-Edward Cullen.

-Hi Edward, my name is Isabella Swan but everyone calls me Bella.

I held out my hand as a joke. Obviously, he did not think it was funny. I was puzzled by his expression. I had never seen so much doubt in his eyes.

We walked up the stairs in silence. I hated seeing him keep such distance from me. He would glance over every minute or so, just to make sure I hadn't run off or something. When we finally got to the top, I was shocked to be standing on the roof.

I wasn't afraid of heights but I was afraid to fall off, since there was no ledge on this section of the roof.

Edward had stopped at the top of the staircase and was judging my reaction. This place was beautiful. There were little gardens around the edges of the roof and the sun was shining bright.

Edward was still standing near the stairs and he was always in the shadows. I couldn't figure out why he wasn't coming out to enjoy the beautiful weather.

He seemed to be hesitating on what to do next. He kept looking at me and it really started to creep me out. I mean I hardly know this guy and he takes up to a place where I have never been before. The way he was concealing himself in the shadows reminded me of a predator stalking his prey in the shade of the forest.

I gave a quick glance at the door to see if I could run for it. With my luck, I would probably trip down the stairs and break my legs and everything else in my body.
