Bella's POV

I took a deep breath and walked towards the teacher, handing him the sheet of paper to sign, just like what I did in the other classes. Don't look at him, don't look at him. I told my self repeatedly. The teacher gave me the slip of paper that he has just signed. Mr. Banner it said on his nameplate. He scanned the room briefly with his eyes, but all the seats in the classroom were filled except for the seat beside Edward Cullen. He pointed towards that seat, and told me that was where I would sit this school year. Biting my lip nervously, I walked slowly towards the empty seat, and set my books down. Stealing a glance at the boy beside me, I whipped my head back towards the other direction when he caught me staring. We were supposed to do a science lab, and when Mr. Banner told us to begin, he and I just stared at each other, the seconds ticking. He moved first out of his tight sitting position, motioning for me to slip in the slide onto the microscope. "You can go first" the ringing smooth tone of his voice startled me completely, my heart thumped as I shook my head, trying to hide my burning tomato red cheeks with my hair.

"Um, it's okay, you can start"

"Do you mind?" I shook my head again. Edward nodded stiffly and slipped in the disk, taking one swift glance, and turned to face me. "Prophase" I nodded, and wrote it down on the sheet for this assignment. He handed me the next disk, I stretched out my arm, our hands meeting in the process. We both flinched away, his eyes quickly grew cold all of a sudden, but I only moved my hand away because of the stinging electricity that I felt when our hands met. It was not a bad feeling at all. There was an awkward silence before I finally put the disk on the platform of the microscope. I looked through the eyepiece and announced "Anaphase" his eyes softened, and he smiled a crooked smile that made my breathing hitch, and I swear – My heart stopped beating.

"Do you mind if I take a look?"

"No" He looked into the microscope quickly, and wrote my answer down. The rest of biology passed slowly, he refused to say anything except for when it was necessary. I didn't really mind, I spent half of the class marveling at his pale skin and wondering what it would feel like to touch his arm again. I sighed when the bell rang for the end of class, I had gym next. I quickly gathered up my books, and headed towards the door, but tripping along the way, my books and sheets of paper were scattered on the ground. I bent down to pick them up, but I noticed a shadow crouch down low behind me.
"Need some help?" Oh god, my breathing was slowly creeping towards hyperventilation.

"Er, thanks" I said, as he handed me my books, practically flying out the classroom door. I bit my lip, and forced a smile on my face as Mike walked towards me, his face gleaming with excitement over something.

"Hey Bella, we're all having this party at First Beach on Saturday, do you wanna come along?" It didn't exactly sound like a tempting idea, but I decided maybe I should, since Mike seemed really eager for me to go. I nodded and his grin widened, Mike's face was almost glowing. It was easy to make him happy…

Edward's POV (A/N: FINALLY! YES!)

I held my breath for as long as I could throughout Biology class. Her scent was just so tempting, so sweet, the monster inside of me wanted to reach out and grab her, and to satisfy my thirst, in mere seconds, and just a few centimeters away. But for some reason, I couldn't, and I controlled that monster.

There was another type of craving, one I have never experienced before. When our hands touched, a million emotions that I have never felt before washed through me. She was so delicate, so beautiful, the deep shade of blue looked lovely in contrast to her pale skin; I had to resist the urge to drink her blood. Her cheeks would constantly flush bright red, and her movement made her scent drift towards me, I could barely resist the urge to reach out towards her. Her soft brown chocolate colored eyes, so kind, and she didn't know that this selfish monster of a man was sitting right beside her, I was so dangerous. The room was filled with thoughts from all of the students; one thought in particular bothered me.

"Jeez, she's pretty, I wonder if she will come to the bonfire party this weekend" Mike Newton's thoughts bothered me, but only because of who he was thinking of.

Bella's POV (A/N: Sorry that didn't last for long!)

I zipped up my coat, and walked out towards my bike. I should really buy a car sometime soon; this bike would rust in the rain. I slung my backpack over my shoulder, and undid the lock on the back wheel of my bike. Right when I was going to hop on, I looked up, and saw Edwardleaning against the door of a silver Volvo, probably his. A blue van turned around the corner, sliding a bit on the thin ice covering the ground. It skidded around, and screeched, heading right towards me.

Everything happened so quickly, following my natural instincts, I ducked down, and I heard a soft crunch inches above my head. I felt something as cold as stone lift me up slightly, before setting me back on the ground again. I opened my eyes – which I didn't notice were closed – and heard Edward's pleasant voice in my ear. "Bella, are you okay?" Well, now I am. I thought to myself.


So what do you think? I have to apologize, for a few reasons:

1) This chapter was a lot shorter than the others, because I didn't really have the time to write a long chapter.

2) I didn't include the "In the following chapter..." quote thing in this chapter, due to this chapter being short, again.

3) I updated later than I meant to :( I love all of you who reviewed. I'm so very sorry for the late update.

I swear, I'll add that quote thing somewhere in the next chapter ;)
