HEY GUYS!!! i know this chapter is like uber-short...but i promise....i'm building the suspense....hehheheheh :D....enjoy!!

I drove to school by myself today. Emmett and Jasper were taking Emmett's new Jeep to show off at school. I sighed, only two days until the talent show. And we hadn't practiced…at all. They insisted that we just play the song, and that they knew it well enough to just wing it. I didn't argue, because quite frankly, I didn't want to practice. And the song wasn't hard to play. I was just kind of nervous about the high notes I would be singing. I had a low voice, so I could only hope it didn't sound like a thirteen year old boy going through puberty. I shuddered at the thought.

I arrived at school about ten minutes early but I went ahead to my first class; English. Ugh. Don't get me wrong I loved literature, and I was a good writer, but I just really wanted the day to go by quickly so I could get to Biology with Bella.

I sighed with happiness at just the thought of her. Her brilliant mind. Her beautiful brown hair. Her flawless physique. Her charming clumsiness. Her unique freesia smell. Yes, I was most definitely ready for Biology.

English passed in a blur. I barely noticed what we were discussing in class. Calculus was equally boring. Only one more class and lunch before I saw Bella. The lunch bell rang finally after another endless class period. Off to lunch.

"Waz up bro?" Emmett called from across the cafeteria.

I rolled my eyes. "Hey Emmett."

"Hey Edward." Jasper said as he approached our table with his tray.

"Hey." I said as I went to get in line for lunch.

I walked up to stand in line, then filled my tray with food. I knew I wouldn't eat it all, but I also knew that Emmett wouldn't have a problem scarfing up the food I didn't eat. I paid for my food and walked back to the table where Alice and Rosalie were already seated. I glanced over to Bella's table to see her munching at a chicken Caesar salad. I sighed, wishing I could be sitting next to her.

"HEY EDWARD!" Alice exclaimed.

I chuckled. "Hey Alice, why are you so excited?"

"Oh, nothing…I just know something TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY AMAZING FOR YOU!!" she practically screamed. Me? For me?

"Oh, really? And what might that be?" I asked, trying not to sound interested.

"I KNOW SOMEONE WHO LIKES YOU!! A LOT!!"

I stopped eating my food and my jaw dropped. Alice giggled and nodded her head. Someone liked me? I mean, I knew a lot of girls that liked me, but not ones that Alice bothered to mention. This one actually might be good for me. I continued to stare at her in disbelief. Emmett waved his hand in front of my face.

"Hellooo? Edward? Earth to Edward!" he called.

I blinked my eyes, still in shock. "Who??" I demanded.

She smirked. "I'm not telling you."

"What?!" I practically screamed.

"Nope, not telling. But, I will tell you that she's excited for the talent show and she'll be standing with me front row the night of!"

My heart stopped. Someone liked me. Alice didn't want to tell me. And this girl would be front row at the talent show. But there was one problem…I didn't like this girl. I liked Bella, A LOT. She was the main reason I got up and came to school.

"Alice…" I began.

"Oh, Edward, stop worrying! You know that you've got every single girl eating out of the palm of your hand!" Except one. I mentally added. "And do I mention and of them? No. I'm your best friend, so you have to trust me on this one."

I sighed. "I trust you Alice."

She beamed. "I know. Believe me, you won't be disappointed."

The bell rang, and I left lunch in a daze. But then, I remembered what class I had next; Biology. I abruptly picked up the pace and practically sprinted to class. I walked into class to see our table empty. Good. I wanted to be seated first.

I made my way over to my seat and sat down in the tall stool. A few seconds later Bella stumbled in and tripped on the power cord on the way to our table. I couldn't smother the chuckle that that caused. I tried to cover it up with a cough, but it was blatantly obvious that I was laughing. She glared at me, which only made me laugh harder. She was just so adorable.

She turned around to face the front of the classroom, ignoring me.

"I'm sorry," I began, and she turned. "That wasn't very nice."

"No, it wasn't." She said then turned back to the front of the classroom.

I suppressed another chuckle. "I'm sorry that I've upset you,"

She bit her bottom lip, deliberating, sighed then finally spoke. "It's fine, I'm very accident prone."

I laughed, and she smiled.

"Okay, class, settled down, settle down." Mr. Melina started. We all quieted. Bella smiled and turned away from me and paid attention to Mr. Melina as he began today's lesson.

I barely concentrated on the lesson because of Bella. I just couldn't stop thinking about her. A small part of me was worried about this girl that liked me. I grimaced as I thought about the girl I'd have to turn down when Alice introduced us at the Talent Show. I wonder who it was. Then I heard it. The best possible thing that could happen.

"Okay class, we're doing a partner project with your lab partner for the next unit." Oh, praise the Lord. Someone up there must like me. "Okay, I'm going to go around assigning separate sections for each set of partners." He began to walk around the room, assigning tables as he did. I opened up my book to see the unit we were doing. The Body Systems. Oh shit. What if we got assigned—I swallowed hard—the reproductive system. I would probably die. No, I would get hard, and then I would die. Shit, shit, shit. Mr. Melina came around to our table.

"Mr. Cullen, Ms. Swan, you will have the…hmm…" Please not the reproductive system, please not the reproductive system. Something innocent and clean…how about the nervous system? " You're system will be…"
