So I turned my head and saw Sophia. I smiled and she did too. "What do you need dear?"

"I'm hungry."

"Why didn't you just ask aunt Julia to make you something?"

"I want you to!" She kissed my cheek and grabbed my hand in both of hers.

"Ok I'm coming…just five more minutes."

"No mommy come on!"

"Ok, let mommy get dressed!" I crawled out of bed and quickly got dressed, then followed behind her, down the steps. I sat I had French toast made for me and I smiled. "Thank you Molly!"

"You're welcome dear! How was yours and Sophia's sleep?"

"Lovely! Tomorrow's her birthday and she's turning 5!" I made her some French toast, and she smiled as she grabbed it with her hands. "Honey, we don't eat with our hands! Go like this!" I said sweetly, as I showed her, me cutting my French toast. "Try it!"

She smiled and gave it a try and took a piece into her mouth.

"There you go!" She clapped and continued. "So Sophia, what would you like for your birthday tomorrow?"

"A unicorn!"

I giggled. "I don't know if I can sweetie, but I'll try!" I tapped her nose as she smiled. "Ooh, you're gonna be late for school!" I saw she was dressed already which was good. I quickly lifted her up and grabbed my keys as we went out to my car. I quickly buckled her in the car booster seat, then climbed in myself, and quickly drove her to school.

After we arrived, I unbuckled her, and lifted her out of the seat, and walked her to the front door. Then I kneeled down, and tucked hair behind her ear. "Be a good girl while mommy's gone, ok?"

"Where you going?"

"Mommy has school herself sweetie." I kissed her forehead. "Behave!"

She nodded and went inside, as I quickly got back in my car, and drove towards Forks high school. I quickly got out, and ran inside, just catching the bell. Since Scarlett was with me the whole ride, she did the same.

"By the way Christy, I'm staying after for a few minutes to ask the gym teacher something."

"Ok! So I'll pick Sophia up and come back for you?"

"Yep!"

"Ok!" I went to first class and was seated next to the cutie; who surprisingly spoke to me.

"Hello."

I turned my head. "Hi."

"I'm sorry I never got a chance to introduce myself before. I'm Edward Cullen."

"Oh, umm I'm Christina Darnell. But everybody calls me Christy."

"Nice to meet you." I quickly nodded and focused back on class. Feeling very tired.

"You look tired…"

"Oh uhh, just a bit."

"What, you don't get sleep?"

"I…no I do. It's…it's complicated."

Then the teacher spoke. "I think it would be nice to learn the phases of mitosis."

Then I saw someone picking at their scab, and they started to bleed. I started to become dizzy and almost felt sick as I raised my hand.

"Yes miss Darnell?"

I squeezed my head and he noticed.

"Are you feeling ok?"

I shook my head.

"I feel dizzy…"

"Mr. Cullen, please take her to the nurse." He nodded and I stood up gripping onto anything in my sight, as my wobbly legs carried me out of the room.

I made it down to the nurse, and she put a cool compress on my forehead. Then Edward came in.

"Are you ok?"

"I'm fine. The sight of blood just makes me dizzy sometimes." After a few minutes, I stood up.

"Wanna ditch school?"

"A guy who hardly knows me, is asking me to ditch school with him." He smiled. "My sister would notice…"

"You have a sister here?"

"Yeah, her name's Scarlett Lancer."

"But…you both don't have the same last name."

"I…" I didn't know what to say. I wasn't really ready to open up about my past. So I just stormed back to class as fast as possible and Mr. Varner saw.

"Welcome back, do you feel better?"

"Yes." I went to my seat, and started working on what we had to do. As the bell rang, I went to the next class. And the same thing happened for all my other classes. Come lunch though, my cell phone rang. "Hello?"

"Hi, is this Christina Darnell?"

"Yes, may I ask who's calling."

"This is Mrs. Judy, calling from the nurses office in reference to Sophia."

"Oh my god is she alright!?"

"Other kids were picking on her, and pushed her down onto the floor. She said she somehow landed on her wrist really hard, when she fell."

"She fell!"

"Other kids were picking on her. I asked her if she could turn her hand. And she said no, and that it hurts really bad, and that she wants her mom."

I sighed. "I'm on my way." I hung up. "Scarlet, I have to go."

"Go where, and why?"

"The preschool. Sophia got hurt and is crying for me."

"I hope she's alright."

"I do too. I might not be back for school. When you're done, give me a call. And I'll pick you up."

"And if not I can always call my mother!"

"Yes." Then I saw that girl run over.

"Hi I'm Alice!"

"Hello Alice!"

"Are you going to the baseball game tonight?"

"I am."

She clapped. "You should come meet my family!"

"Alice I don't have time."

"Nonsense!" She pulled me over to her table but I couldn't focus. "That's Edward as you know, Jasper my boyfriend, and Emmett and his girlfriend Rosalie."

"It's wonderful to meet you all but I must be going."

"Why did you leave me earlier?" They all stared at me.

"I must be going."
