My first three classes went by slowly. The entire first day is complete bullshit, in my opinion. All we do is meet our teachers and learn their expectations for the class. And catch up with our friends of course. As my fourth period history teacher droned on, I let m mind wander.

Only ten more minutes, Bells. All you have to do is sit here for ten, measly minutes. Then you can be with Edward. Maybe he will be nice and protective and caring, and maybe even loving. But Jake also seemed to be a nice guy. And you know how well that turned out…

**Flashback**

Music was blaring so loudly that the walls would shake. Everyone was dancing, myself included. Jake was right behind me, his hips moving in sync with mine. I felt as if it were just me and him in the room. To me, no one else existed, no one else mattered.

"Let's go upstairs. It's too crowded down here." He whispered into my ear while playing with my fingers. I led him upstairs, away from the music, away from the alcohol, away from everyone. I walked into one of the bedrooms and sat Indian-style on the floor. Jake sat next to me and tried to slide his arm around my waist. I resisted and he let the matter drop.

We sat and talked for a few minutes, and I felt great. To me, there is nothing better than sitting with my best friend, drinking and just talking. He tried to slide his arm around my waist again and I let him. He slowly tilted my chin and our lips crashed. I felt nothing like I expected to feel, no chemistry, no passion, nothing.

I tried to push him off of me because I didn't want to be a drunken mistake to him. He, however, had other plans. He was stronger and easily picked me up and pushed me onto the bed. He held my two hands in one of his and used his free hand to take off my pants.

"Jake, please don't do this" I begged through sobs.

**End flashback**

The bell signaling the end of class got me out of the horrible memory. I gave a quick look to my friend Jessica and bolted out of the room. I ran to the nearest bathroom and started sobbing uncontrollably.

As I am curled up into a ball crying, I hear the door open and heavy footsteps walk towards me. I don't even care who sees me crying right now. I feel myself being picked up and set on someone's lap. I look up and see Edward, holding me and rocking me back and forth. Right now, that's all I needed.

"Edward, how did you fi-"

"Shhh, don't say anything. Everything's going to be alright." He cooed in my ear. We sat there for God only knows how long. Before I knew it, the bell was ringing signaling 5th period.

Great, I missed lunch. Oh well, I got to spend time alone with Edward…NO BELLA, don't get attached so easily. You don't know what he's capable of. I thought to myself.

I pulled myself together and Edward and I walked into our science class together. We were given assigned seats and thankfully, Edward and I were seated next to each other. Right now, I didn't want to be near anyone but him. We were given the class expectations and while the teacher droned on, Edward and I got a chance to talk.

"How did you know where to find me?" I asked him.

"I saw Jess and she told me you ran out of class crying. So I came to the least crowded bathroom and you were there. So what broke you down so badly?" he responded.

"It's nothing major, just had a bad flashback." I said, making it obvious that I didn't want to discuss it any further.

He understood and dropped the matter. He turned his attention back towards the front to 'listen' to the teacher. I, on the other hand, didn't want to listen. I was perfectly content to stare at Edward.

"Ms. Swan, care to join us?" I heard someone calling. I snapped back to reality and tried to closely follow the class in their discussion. When the bell rang, everyone was out of there very quickly.

Edward decided to stay and talk to me outside the class room. He casually leaned up against the lockers and smiled at me.

"So Bella, what are you doing after school?" he asked with a small smile.

"Uhm, I have work at 7. But that's about it. Why?" I questioned.

"Oh, you'll find out soon enough. Mind if I walk you to your next class?"

I agreed as we started walking towards the math hall. Joy, I get to go to my favorite class now.

Edward was one of the only males I knew who could initiate and hold a conversation, which attracted me to him even more.

We walked to my math room and stood outside to talk for a few more seconds. He took my hand and put it to his mouth, gently kissing it. This sent my heart into spasms as I gasped for breaths. He walked off like nothing was wrong.

I ran to the nearest bathroom and locked myself into a stall.

I was falling for him, hard.

And there was no way around it.
