A/N: yes… it's the third chapter. Is it too fast? I hope not, because I felt the urge to upload it right now, so… it's my and your lucky day I guess :)
I DON'T OWN anything. Stephenie Meyer owns the most amazing story on earth. All the characters belong to her. But I hope I could claim that this story is mine, couldn't I? :)
This chapter has been edited by the lovely Jessenia. Thanks a bunch, sweetie!
Happy reading! Read, enjoy, and don't forget to leave a review. :)
Chapter 3: It starts with the music
Bella's POV
I must be dreaming. It wasn't real. It couldn't be happening.
I needed some air to breath. But I couldn't find it here. Instead of breathing, I gulped trying to heal my dry throat.
"Yes… I play… guitar" I cleared my throat, trying to make my voice better, it didn't work, though. The guy that stood in front of me just smiled and kept his eyes on me.
"I'm happy to meet someone that appreciates music as much as I do. I'm Edward" He raised his right hand and waited for me to take it. I just looked at his long beautiful fingers that were so inviting. But still, I didn't make any movement.
He might have realized that I was in my own imagination, that's when he made a sound.
"Hello... still there?" he waved his hand in front of my face. I looked up at his eyes, still keeping the balance on my feet.
"Um… yes" I mumbled with a low voice.
God... please help me... I couldn't handle this kind of situation any longer. Please make it end soon!
"I uh... I'm Bella" I managed to keep calm and took his hand that still hanging in the air. The first thing that I felt when I touched his hand was… warmth. I really felt warm inside. And his hand was so soft… I felt electricity deep inside my body by this simple connection.
"Bella…" He said, more to himself. "What a beautiful name you have" he smiled and kept holding my hand in a split second before he let it go. I started to feel cold without the connection.
"Thanks. Yours too" I nodded and looked down. I bet my cheeks were red again. Really red. I put my hands inside my pockets, trying to warm myself up again.
"It's really nice meeting you, Bella. I guess I'll see you tomorrow?" He tilted his head and searched for my agreement.
"Sure" I smiled and looked at his eyes once again. I was officially in love with those beautiful green eyes.
"Great. So… see you tomorrow" he made a genuine smile that really breath-taking. Thank God that he left the next second. If he didn't leave, I don't know what would be happening next.
I sighed heavily, just like someone who arrived on the top of a mountain after a long journey of climbing it. I still couldn't manage my heart beat that was beating so fast. I took some deep breaths before trying to walk out of the building. I hoped that the jumping sound would be gone before I got home.

Edward's POV
I smelled strawberry, a very innocent, yet sweet scent. Was that her perfume? I don't think so, because the moment I let go of her hand, I couldn't smell anything left on my hand after that. So what was that sweet scent?
The moment that I saw her enter the art class, it wasn't the first time that I saw her. I saw her earlier at lunch time. She stood up outside the hall, and stared at me like I was the weirdest person on earth. Why would she look at me like that? I could tell that she wasn't scared of me. The brown eyes that she had, told me that. It was just… the way that she looked at me; I couldn't find the answer to that, yet.
I saw her when she found a seat. I kept my eyes on her. She didn't notice me until the teacher told us to make a short sentence. The sight of her eyes when she found out that I was there, I didn't like it. There must be something wrong. She looked like scared. Was I frightening her?
Then I got the chance to finally talk to her. I'd love to know her better. She wasn't like any girl that I'd ever seen. She was different. I felt something strange inside of me when I talked to her. And when I finally shook her hand, I could tell that I was feeling happy. It felt like finding water in a desert. She looked nervous at first, but I kept looking at her eyes. I tried to make her feel comfortable with me being around. When she finally managed to smile, a little bit calmer, I felt relieved.
Even since I got home, I kept repeating today's moment in my head. Played piano, noticed Bella was staring at me, had a same class with her, and had a quick introduction. I still could smell her scent, even if I didn't know what that was. But I'll find out later.

Bella's POV
"How's your first day, sweetie?" My mom asked me once I entered the house.
"It was fine" I nodded and remembered every single moment.
"The guitar, you didn't get trouble by that, right?"
"Nope, fortunately." I smiled. "I think they allow everything inside that school, like… everything! Since the lockers are really big" I widen my eyes while saying 'really'. Mom chuckled slightly and gave me a big hug. I closed my eyes while enjoying this wonderful time.
"I'm glad you had a great time" She said, before letting me go. I nodded and smiled.
"I'm going to change, maybe I'll take a nap before dinner" I said while starting to head towards the stairs.
"Okay sweetie, I'll wake you up when dinner's ready."
"Cool, thanks Mom" I gave her a big smile before climbing the stairs.
I entered my room and took off my clothes, then quickly headed towards the bathroom. Warm water seems too good for me right now. The second I climbed the bathtub, I felt very comfortable. With my eyes closed, I slowly went to the deepest day-dream.
I saw the school building. I saw people chattering. Then I saw a really shiny grand piano in the middle of the great hall. The person playing it was a guy. He had silky bronze hair. He had gorgeous green eyes. He had a breath-taking soft smile. And he had pink rose lips. I imagined what is would taste like? Soft, sweet, incredible? Then I felt a very soft hand with long fingers touch my hand slightly. It felt so good. It felt like I could hold his hand forever. I felt a need to just touch him. Then I moved my other hand to touch his lips. Just what I thought, he had soft lips. He smiled by my touch. I could feel butterflies in my stomach when he leaned forward.
"STOP!" I opened my eyes and breathed heavily. This was crazy. I couldn't get him out of my head. I managed to inhale and exhale slowly, needing to make the rhythm of my heart beat back to normal. I shook my head and slowly got up from the bathtub. I reached my strawberry shampoo and started to wash my hair, hoping to get my head all clear.
After a very long bath-time, I went back to my room and changed into my sweats. Climbed onto my bed, and I slowly entered my dream. I didn't realize how tiring today was, until I felt my bed. My stomach seemed as though it needed to be fed, but I didn't care. The need of my eyes came first before anything else. Beside, Mom will let me know if the dinner's ready.
xoxoxo
The next day…
The sun shined so brightly. I opened my eyes and realized that I'd been sleeping all night. Did I have dinner last night? I even couldn't remember if Mom woke me up.
I sighed and slowly got up from my bed, walked to the bathroom and quickly did the morning rituals. After all school preparations were finished, I ran downstairs and quickly grabbed a sandwich that already lay for a while on the dining table. I grinned while Mom shook her head.
"Were you too tired last night? You forgot about dinner." She said.
"I don't know. I just felt really sleepy, that's all. But don't worry, I'm okay. Breakfast is more important than dinner, right Dad?" I looked at my Dad, trying to get a support. Dad just rolled his eyes, nodded slowly and then went back to his newspaper.
"Okay, but don't forget about lunch. You got it?" Mom gave me that look, I couldn't say no.
"I won't, promise." And I meant it.
xoxoxo
What the hell? What happened with this school? Could it be more crowded?
I walked carefully to the crowd and tried so hard to read the paper that stuck on the announcement board.
MUSIC COMPETITION
FOR ALL STUDENTS OF ALL GRADES
…..
I couldn't read it further because of these people. I kept tilting my head and wished to be able to read the entire poster when suddenly I felt a hand grip mine. I turned around and looked at my hand, then slowly looked the one who was gripping it.
"Morning, Bella. I thought you'd like to read this?" He said while waving a poster in the air. A big smile came out from his lips. I looked at him, amazed by what he'd done. Edward.
