Hey everyone! ok so i felt really bad about leaving you guys for a week without and update, so i made this one longer....i think its the longest chapter ive done so far! enjoy:)


Bella POV

Tall green grass surrounded me. I kept turning. Looking for the gorgeous, green eyed man. I spun when I finally spotted him. I smiled as I saw him turn and look at me. His face lit up and he started to run towards me. I started running towards him also.

There we were. Running straight towards each other, but never getting any closer. Our arms were stretched out, anticipating a hug from the other. It never came. I ran faster and faster as he started to disappear. Then everything went black.

I replayed my dream over and over again in my head. I didn't understand what it meant. I tried to picture the man but my mind couldn't make a clear picture. We were both running towards the other, even though we weren't going anywhere. We both knew that we weren't moving, yet we kept running.

A quote popped into my head as I pondered this. "Love can make you do curious things." That was when I realized. We weren't running out of comfort or fear. We were running for love. We loved each other and wanted a last embrace. We knew we weren't going anywhere but our love for each other kept us going.

A sad feeling crept up in me, and I tried to let it go before I started to cry. I have cried too much over the past year. I thought. I shook my head to try and forget the dream, so I could get ready for school.

I hopped down the stairs. For some unknown reason I felt happy today. I saw Charlie sitting at the table eating a plate of fresh pancakes. Renee turned towards me from her spot at the oven. "Would you like some pancakes, dear?" she asked. The smell of syrup hit my nose and my stomach rumbled. "Yes, please." I replied as I sat next to Charlie.

Renee came over and sat a heaping plate of pancakes in front of me. I could hear Charlie's booming laughter. "Bells, I swear your eyes just got ten times bigger." he said. I blushed and stated, "Mom, I can't eat all of these." "Here, I'll take some." Charlie said as he reached over and picked up three pancakes with his fork. I smiled before turning and pouring a glob of syrup on my plate.

Minutes later I stood to wash my dishes. "Awesome pancakes, mom." I said. "Thank you." she replied as she flipped another pancake over.

As I slid into the seat of my truck I noticed that I would be a early. I shrugged and started the engine anyway. The drive to school was quiet. The radio in the car is broken so I get to listen to the loud engine noises of the old truck.

As I drove down the road I noticed I was sneaking glances at the forest on my left. It was so green, unlike Phoenix. I heard my self making comparisons in my head when I noticed a small silver car swerve out of the trees. I stomped and my break and the car jerked to a halt. I slammed my hand down and my car made a loud shriek. My head jerked and I felt my neck hit the headrest. I'm going to have a bruise there tomorrow. I thought.

My heart was pounding heavily as I saw the car in front of me pull over. I quickly pulled my car off to the side of the road. I closed my eyes and took deep breaths to try and get my heartbeat to slow. I looked up when I heard a tap on my window.

I saw Edward standing by my door. His bronze hair was shining in the light and his green eyes glowed. A switch clicked in my brain as I realized the man in my dreams was him. I smiled at the thought.

I opened my door and stepped out while rubbing the sore spot on my neck. Edward stood there, wearing a dark pair of jeans and a button-up shirt, rolled up to his elbows. He doesn't seem bothered by the cold. I thought as I shivered.

"Hi. Sorry, about that." he said as he waved his hand towards the road. "My idiot of a brother, Emmett, was driving." he continued with a grin . I smiled. "It's ok." I replied, "Just scared me is all."

"No one is ever really on this road so he never checks. Are you ok?" he questioned. "Yeah. I'm fine." I answered. "Are you sure?" he asked as though he was truly concerned. "No new scratches." I said as I finished searching my body for cuts.

His eyebrows furrowed as I said this and he looked upset. "I'm just a bit of a klutz." I said trying to reassure him. He smiled a lopsided grin and said, "Ok. Well I will see you at school." He turned and walked towards his car.

"Ok." I replied but I was sure he was too far away to hear me. I hopped back into my seat and turned the key. I looked at the clock and realized that now I would be late. I groaned and sped off down the road to make it to class on time.

The bell rang as I pulled into the parking lot. I stepped through the door and the whole class looked up at me. I walked back towards my seat with a blush on my face.

"Class, take this as an example. Bella, this is a warning, but next time I will give you detention." spoke the teacher as I sat down in my seat. I nodded my head. My face was becoming warmer and I bet it looked like a cherry tomato.

"Pssst." I turned my head to the left. A small girl with short black hair was sitting there smiling at me. "Hi." she whispered, "I'm Alice." "I'm Bella." I replied. "I can tell we are going to be best friends!" she exclaimed.

I think she got a little too excited because she shouted the last part which caused the teacher to turn and look at us. "Is something wrong Miss Cullen?" he asked. "No, sir." she answered. "Then I suggest you take notes like the rest of the class." he said in a stern voice. I blushed again before bowing my head and copying the writing on the board.

Lunch came quickly. I stepped in the cafeteria too see that Angela wasn't there. I wasn't sure if my invitation to her table was expired or not, so I stood searching for a table to sit at. My eyes scanned the cafeteria as I felt someone come up behind me. I turned to find a giant standing there.

"Hi. I'm Emmett." he said as he held out his hand. "I'm Bella." I replied as I shook his hand. I didn't feel a shock, unlike when I touched Edward. "Sorry about this morning." he said. "Its ok." I replied, "No one got hurt." "I feel really bad though." he stated. "Let me make it up to. Do you want to sit with us today?" he asked. My heart skipped a beat at the thought of talking to Edward. "Are you sure?" I asked. I didn't want to intrude, or join them if they didn't want me. "Of course!" he exclaimed as he grabbed my hand and pulled me over to their table.

We stopped and everyone at the table looked up at me. "Everyone this is Bella." Emmett said. I looked over to see Edward grinning. "Bella, this is Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Edward." he said gesturing to each of them. "Hi" I said as I waved my hand slightly.

Alice stood up and embraced me in a small hug. "I'm glad that your coming to sit with us Bella!" she exclaimed as she pulled me over to sit next to her. I was at the end of the rectangle table, with Edward across from me and Alice to my left. Jasper sat on the other side of Alice, while Emmett was on the opposite side of the table between Edward and Rosalie.

I pulled my lunch from my bag and started to munch on the sandwich my mom had made. "So where are you from Bella? Your new right?" Alice asked, trying to make conversation. "Well I came to this school a year ago, but last year I was in France visiting my aunt." I told them my lie. "Ooooh! Did you go shopping? I heard they have cute little boutiques there!" Alice exclaimed. "No. I didn't." I answered. Alice looked a little sad when I told her this.

Emmett spoke up, "Bella, you will soon see how obsessed Alice is with shopping." he told me. Alice's head then snapped up. "Hey, do you want to go shopping tomorrow after school?" she asked.

Her face was lit up and she had a smile on her face. I groaned but hopefully no one heard it. "I don't know. I will have to ask my parents." I replied. "Ok. You can just let me know tomorrow." she said before standing up and walking away.

I turned to see that there wasn't anyone at the table, or in the cafeteria for that matter. I looked up to see Edward standing next to me with his hand out. "Come on. We're going to be late." he said with a smile. I quickly stood up and tossed my lunch in the trash before hurrying out of the room. "I'm sorry. You didn't have to wait for me." I said. "Its ok. I don't mind." he answered.

We finally reached our class a few minutes after the bell had already rang. We hurried to our seats. My face was red as I sat down. I looked over to Edward and he was looking at me. "Do I have something on my face?" I questioned as I reached up and wiped my cheek.

"No." he whispered as he turned his attention to the front of the class. Throughout the period I felt myself stealing glances in his direction. Sometimes I caught him looking at me too.

That's when I realized that I liked Edward. He was really good-looking and sweet. I started daydreaming in class. I thought about my dream last night. Edward and I were running towards each other because we loved each other. I thought. I smiled.

"Bella." I heard my name called and turned to look at him when I felt a sharp pain in my forehead. I winced. "Are you ok?" he asked. He looked really worried. I pulled out a couple Advil and popped them in my mouth. With a swig of water they were gone and my headache would cease in a few minutes.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a headache." I replied. I looked up at him. I felt myself lost in his gaze. "Sorry. What were you saying?" I asked, remembering that he was about to speak. "What do you want to do for the project?" he asked. Project? What project? I thought as I looked up to the board. There were a list of instructions that the teacher had been talking about.

"Um. Do you have any ideas?" I asked sheepishly" I was thinking we could do it on the onion root cells." he replied, "Is that ok?" "Yeah, that sounds great." I answered.

"Would you like to do it at my house or yours?" he asked. "Um…" I paused. I didn't really want him to see all of the old medical things we still had at my house, but I would feel bad if I invited myself over. "It doesn't matter." I finished.

"Would you like to come to my house? I mean I already have microscopes and such, plus I'm sure Alice would love to have you over." he said. "Sure." I answered with a smile. "Great. Is Saturday ok?" he asked. "Yeah. Sounds good." I said right as the bell rang. I stood and gathered my things before walking out of the class room.

……………………….

That night I woke up several times. I would be covered in sweat and my pillows and blankets would be littering the floor. By the time my alarm went off I had only gotten 3 hours of sleep and I felt exhausted.
