A/N: Hello Everyone heres another chappie! Im still not very happy with it but I hope you like

The next day seemed to go by in a blur. I passed through all my morning classes barely paying attention to anything. As hard as I tried not to, I kept thinking about biology class with Edward Cullen. The thing that bothered me the most was that I was almost excited to see him again. No, excited would mean that I want to see him. Im anxious I told myself. But who wouldn't be? I was lab partners with a vampire!

I let out a long sigh. I was definitely letting him get to my head.

I stood up at the end of third period to gather my books and was approached by Mike Newton.

"Hey Bella, I'll save you a seat at lunch," he said with a smile.

He walked away before I could respond and I had a bad feeling that this was going to become routine.

I walked into the cafeteria and immediately shifted my gaze over to the table of vampires. I was grateful that none of them seemed to notice my presence. I decided I would try my best not to concern myself with them either.

Mike saw me and waved me over to his table. I quickly got my tray of food and sat at the table, trying to attract as little attention to myself as possible.

I allowed myself one more glance at the Cullens. They looked just as they did before, but there was definitely a change in their mood. Edward Cullen was staring at the table concentrating hard on something,while the pixie-like vampire seemed to be focusing on something far away. The two other guys were smirking at each other, and the beautiful blonde was looking extremely upset.

She looked up and her eyes met mine with the most hateful, menacing look I had ever seen. She continued to glare at me, and I began to slightly shake with fear, unable to look away. Edward's head shot up and I could have sworn he growled at her. She reluctantly broke the stare.

I stopped shivering and tried to regain my bearings. This is not good I thought. I was certain now that they were all aware of me. The blonde obviously didn't like me, and having a vampire against you was never a good thing.

Mike seemed to notice my discomfort and followed my gaze over to the Cullen table.

"Hey Bella, I'm really sorry about the whole lab partner thing," he said.

I thought about biology again, and suddenly I didn't feel so excited anymore. I was actually feeling a little sick to my stomach.

"Its ok, don't worry about it," I said.

"If Cullen does anything that bothers you, just let me know and I'll take care of it," he said with a wink.

I wanted to gag, but I smiled instead and said, "Thanks Mike,"though I knew he stood no chance against a vampire.

"Your lab partners with Edward Cullen?" a girl sitting near us asked.

I suddenly noticed the three other people sitting with me and Mike. For someone who could recognize vampires, I wasn't very observant of the obvious things in life. I remembered the one who spoke to me as Jessica and the other two were Angela, and Ben.

I nodded my head at her.

"Good luck," Jessica mumbled sarcastically, though there was a hint of jealously in her voice.

" Don't worry about Edward," Angela said. " I had to do a project with him once and it

wasn't so bad."

Mike pretended to laugh. " Yea I remember you were scared shitless," he said.

Angela scowled at him. "I was a little intimidated at first, but he was really nice and he's smart. Don't pay attention to Mike he's held some kind of grudge against Cullen ever since they moved here."

"I just don't trust that guy," he said. "Nobody is that perfect. He's definitely hiding something. And would you stop staring at him, Jess!"

"Huh?" she asked, still not looking away.

Mike was growing increasingly annoyed. I suddenly knew what the grudge was.

"Oh c'mon don't you people see how weird they are? He looked over at them. They never even eat any food! Am I the only one that realizes this?"

Everyone turned to look at them. Suddenly, an amused looking Edward Cullen reached over and to my surprise, he grabbed an apple and took a bite out of it.

Jessica raised an eyebrow at Mike. "Happy now?" she asked. "What exactly are you trying to say, Mike."

"I don't know," he said, looking a little defeated. "They just seem like their hiding something, and one day I'm going to find out what it is," he said defiantly.

Now everyone at the table rolled their eyes. I gave him a small smile. Mike wasn't exactly the brightest kid out there, but he had no idea how right he was.

Though I continually insisted that he didn't have to, Mike carried my books for me to biology. I had a feeling it was his way of marking me his territory in front of Edward Cullen. Eventually I gave up on the argument and decided to just let him have his fun or whatever it was he was trying to do.

We walked into the classroom together and to Mike's satisfaction, Edward Cullen was already there. I suddenly felt sick again.

Snap out of it I thought. If I was going to get through this class, I was going to need all the confidence I could muster.

Mike walked smugly over to my desk and dropped my books down in the most obvious way he could manage.

" There you go Bella," he said.

"Thanks Mike," I mumbled.

He gave me a long look before glancing at Edward and walking away. I sat down at my desk blushing furiously.

Mr. Varner entered the classroom and began the lesson.

"Hello everyone. Today you will be doing a lab assignment with your partners."

Schoolwork I thought to myself Focus only on schoolwork.

" You will be using punett squares to determine the traits that your children would have. The first couple to finish gets to share their child with the class."

Mr. Varner passed out the papers, and I immediately started filing mine out, hoping to avoid all non school related conversation.

It only worked for about a minute.

"Bella?" Edward said finally, in a soft velvety voice.

I looked up into his angel like face.

"Yes?" I asked, more timidly than I would have liked.

"I just wanted to tell you that I understand how uncomfortable this must be for you,"he said.

That took me by surprise. The vampire was sympathizing with me.

"Uncomfortable?" I asked, trying to sound confused. It was my turn to play dumb.

He raised an eyebrow at me.

"Yes well with me, being what I am, and with your history, I know this must be a difficult situation for you."

"Well I'm glad you realize that," I said, a sharp edge to my voice. I wasn't sure what he was getting at.

"I just wanted to let you know, Bella" he continued, " that I would never do anything to

hurt you."

Yeah, says the bloodsucking vampire I thought.

"I'll keep that in mind," I said sarcastically.

There was a long pause as I continued to do my work. When I finally decided to look up again, Edward was staring at me.

"Bella," he said again, holding my gaze, "I solemnly swear that I, or anyone else, will never touch a single hair on your head. Just please, trust me."

He stared at me intently with his liquid topaz eyes. He seemed so earnest and sincere, that for a second I truly believed him. But only for a second.

"That's a heavy promise to make, and you haven't done anything to earn my trust," I said.

"I have no doubt that I'll be keeping that promise," he said "And about earning your trust, I'll get to work on that."

"And how do you plan on doing that?" I asked.

He didn't answer right away. I stared at him, feeling my heartbeat pickup. Why do vampires have to be so damn good looking? I thought.

"If I told you all about my family and I, then would you trust me?" he asked.

I thought about this for a moment. It did seem fairly reasonable, and my curiosity was getting the better of me.

"Well it all depends on what I hear, but I'm listening," I said.

"Bella," he said disbelievingly, "I couldn't possibly tell you anything here."

"Where else would you tell me?" I asked confused.

"Where would you like to go?" he asked. "I'm free all week."

I stared at him in shock. Was this his way of asking me on a date? Did he really think I was dumb enough to go on a date with a vampire?

"I don't think so," I said harshly.

"Of course it will be someplace public if that makes you feel more comfortable," he said." We just can't have anyone listening in."

"No one is listening now," I said.

"Actually," he contradicted with a smirk, "your friend, Mike Newton seems to be concentrating very hard on our conversation."

I turned around to see Mike staring directly at us with an angry look on his face. He quickly looked away and went back to his assignment when he realized I was looking at him.

"Oh, sorry about that," I muttered.

"He's angry because I beat him to it. He was going to ask you out on Friday. Personally I think he is waiting much to too long. You two seemed to be getting along just fine," Edward said teasingly.

I rolled my eyes. "Hey, how did you know he was going to ask me out Friday?"

He gave me a wicked smile. "All in good time," he said.

"Fine," I grumbled.

"So is that a yes then for Friday?" he asked.

I hesitated. Was I actually agreeing to go out with a vampire? I guess I really was that dumb. If this was a trap I was falling right into it, but I just couldn't bring myself to say no.

"Yes," I said finally.

He smiled, obviously pleased with himself.

"You still haven't told me where you wanted to go," he said.

Where would I go with a vampire that was safe?

A mischievous smile spread across my face, as I thought of an idea.

"Would you mind going to the reservation at La Push?" I asked.

He stiffened. "I definitely think that they would mind," he said coldly.

"Why should they?" I asked, playing dumb again. "I'm going there later on today."

"Bella, do you really think thats a good idea?" he asked.

"I don't see why not," I said. I knew it probably wasn't, but what safer place could I be with a vampire than surrounded by a pack of werewolves?

"There is the treaty," he said.

"What treaty?" I asked. There was a treaty?

He gave me a confused look. "It looks like you've got some catching up to do," he said.

We were both silent for a while.

I quickly finished filling out the rest of my paper. I looked over and was surprised to see that Edward had already finished his.

"Are you ready to make a child?" he asked.

"Excuse me?"

"The assignment, Bella," he clarified.

"Oh right," I said blushing.

He chuckled lightly and grabbed my paper, quickly finishing the second part of the assignment.

"Well it looks like our children would most likely have dark brown hair, golden eyes, and very pale skin," he said.

"Why do you have gold eyes?" I asked.

He smiled and shook his head.

"Patience Bella," he said.

I sighed. He wasn't going to tell me anything until Friday.

He looked around.

"We're the first ones done," he said. "Would you like to share our possible children with the class?"

"No!" I said automatically.

"Well why not?" he asked pretending to look hurt. I wasn't fooled.

"I don't like to attract attention to myself," I said.

"Well this exciting for me," he said teasingly, "I'll never actually get to have children of my own and. . ." he trailed off suddenly and stared at my arm.

I realized I had been absentmindedly playing with my scar. I blushed and rolled down my sleeve.

"Are you going to tell me about that lovely scar?" he asked seductively.

I grimaced. "Maybe, but I still don't trust you, remember?"

He didn't answer, and we both remained quiet.

I began fiddling with the ends of my hair. I noticed his eyes darken and he closed them and inhaled deeply.

I immediately froze. He was thirsty.

The bell rang and I quickly gathered my books. I started to walk away but I moved too fast and tripped over my own two feet.

Before I could hit the floor, I landed directly in the arms of Edward Cullen.

I froze with fear as I looked up at him. He was so cold and his eyes were black.

"Bella," he breathed, "are you alright?" I felt his cool breath on my face.

I relaxed a little but I felt my heart beat erratically in my chest and I blushed furiously.

"Um yea. . .I'm fine," I said trying to stand up." I was a little dizzy. He carefully set me on my feet.

"Thanks," I mumbled sheepishly.

He chucked softly.

"Bella," he said, "Would you mind doing me a favor."

I looked at him skeptically. What could I possibly do for him?

" What kind of favor?" I asked.

He paused and looked at me.

"I'm not the only dangerous thing out there," he said. " When you go to La Push just try and be safe ok?"

I was shocked. He stared at me unleashing the full force of his now golden eyes on me.

I didn't know what else to say so I just nodded my head and said "Ok."

He gave me a glorious crooked smile that took my breath away, and then glided out of the classroom.
