Chapter 2

Once Again

BPOV

After Connor and I "went at it" for at least eight hours (not even close to our record), the alarm went off.

Time to get ready for school.

Friday Harbor High School where Belinda and I were juniors. And Connor and Danny were seniors. Was a pretty decent school. Most of the teachers actually knew what they were talking about. But it didn't matter. I had learned it all. Multiple times. I finally learned how boring school must have been for the Cullen's.

I choose to wear a pretty skimpy outfit today. A super short, black, leather skirt (that I wouldn't be able to bend over in), knee length black boots, and a green, lace camisole that didn't quite cover my navel.

No makeup. I didn't need it. But I did leave my hair down.

As I walked down the stairs I could tell Connor was pleased.

"Try not to get drool on the carpeting, Con," Belinda said giggling. Her sparkling blonde hair shimmered as she walked down the stairs, stepped out the door, and into the cloudy morning.

"Hot," Danny said looking me over. Which earned him a punch in the arm from Connor. He sheepishly followed Belinda out the door.

I shivered as Connor and I walked out side. Instantly his leather jacket was draped over my shoulders. He put his arm around my shoulders and pulled me close. An experience that still made my dead heart flutter. "You look amazing," he murmured in my ear. I loved when he was so close to me. It reminded me of Edward.

Connor and I got in the front seat of our red, 5-door, Mazda6. While Belinda and Danny were getting to know each other better in the back seat.

"Could you two keep your hands off each other for two freaking seconds," I scolded from the passenger seat.

In response I got a few grunts and a muffled giggle.

I groaned and leaned my head on Connor's shoulder. He kissed my hair. As he did this the car never moved an inch from the center of the road.

"Were here," Connor announced. In what seemed like seconds.

It took us five minutes to get the attention of Belinda and Danny. "Tomorrow were riding in the back seat," Connor announced.

I playfully punched him in the shoulder. And laughed. He loved it when I laughed. When I had been changed I had acquired dimples.

As we got out of the car all male eyes were on Belinda and I. Likewise with Danny and Connor except it was the female population they caught the eyes of.

"Nice skirt," I heard a guy whisper. Directing his comment at me. I heard Connor stifle a growl and knew I had to distract him before he butchered half the male population.

I wrapped my arms around his shoulders. My hands forming a fist at the back of his neck. I then proceeded to kiss him so throughly that if a teacher had seen us we probably would have been suspended.

"Stay strong," I hissed as our parting words.

"Love you Bella," he whispered. Just for me.

Belinda gave Danny a goodbye kiss and then followed me to the junior wing of the high school. None of us had any classes together except lunch and we were all grateful to be together then.

"So have you heard the latest news?" Belinda asked chattering before we were separate.

"No," I said smiling, "what's the latest news?"

"Apparently there are five new students gracing us with there presence today and apparently there all smoking hot. Maybe they'll take some attention off of us." Belinda said wishfully thinking.

No it couldn't be? Could it be the Cullen's?

The thought made my blood run cold. Edward would ruin the new life I had made. I loved him still. I knew it. But I would never ever be with him again. He had left me. And now I was with Connor.

Belinda must have sensed there was something wrong with me because she immediately asked, "Bella what's the matter? Your paler then usual."

"Nothing Linda," I lied, "I just have to go to class a little early today."

"Oh okay. Bye Belly," she said kissing my cheek.

I half walked ran, half walked to my first period class (english with Miss. Beck) praying to every god I knew that I wouldn't see any of the Cullen's today.

(When Bella got to school)

We got out of our new silver Volvo and walked to our new school. Friday Harbor High School. Just before we pulled in Alice had, had a vision of four vampires already living in this town. She hadn't seen their faces but she had felt weirdly attached to one of the girls. There was something she wasn't telling me. And I couldn't find it in her mind. She was very excited.

My family walked threw the parking lot and saw the front left corner was attracting a lot of human attention.

"Nice skirt," I heard a boy whisper. Then I saw the beautiful girl with the skirt turn around and passionately kiss the boy with his arm around her. I didn't see much of the girls face but she reminded me of Bella.

Bella

Leaving her had been the hardest thing I had ever had to do. When I went back to Forks a couple of years ago and heard about the car accident. I wanted to kill myself. I hadn't been there to protect her and she had died because of it.

I shook myself out of my thoughts and saw the brunette walking away with a blonde that was so beautiful even some of the male teachers were having impure thoughts.

"Those must be the other vampires," Rosalie sneered. You could tell she was jealous. It was written all over her face.

My family and I separated. Carlisle had already picked up our schedules and now all we had to do was report to the front office at the end of the day.

Alice and I walked to juniors wing of the school and I got extremely annoyed that she was still smiling.

"Alice why won't you tell me what's going on?" I asked trying to find out what she had seen.

"It's not that bad Edward, it's that good," she whispered the last part.

"What's your first class?" I asked knowing I wouldn't get anymore out of her. . . or her mind.

"History with Mr. Hugh," Alice announced.

I sighed, "mines English with Miss. Beck," I looked at Alice's schedule and saw that the only class we had together was lunch.

"See you at lunch Eddie," she said and dance to her history class.

I walked to my English Class wondering what Alice was keeping from me.

When he walked in the door with Miss. Beck I wanted to cry. I had never realized how much I had missed him until I saw him again. I wanted to run into his arms. Connor be damned. But I knew I couldn't. I would never forgive him. Never. And it would be fun to see what he did when he saw me.

Your probably wondering why he doesn't smell me. Well when I became a vampire my sent died down. Now you can only smell it when you get really close. Or when the wind ruffles my hair.

Miss. Beck made him stand in front of the class. While the students stood up and introduced themselves. He wasn't even looking as they introduced themselves. He wouldn't have noticed me if I didn't have to say my name. When the teacher came up to me I decided to have a little fun. Make sure he knew it was me.

As I got up I tossed my hair. Which sent my sent wafting out in every direction.

Edward's head shot up.

"Isabella Swan. Call me Bella, please."

I sat down as I saw his eyes get bigger and bigger, "Bella," he murmured.

I decided to have a little more fun. I pushed my pencil off my desk, my eyes never leaving Edward's.

I made sure no one was looking and twitched my finger. The pencil flew into my hand. I thought Edward's eyes were going to pop out of there sockets. My smile got even bigger.
