Hi! I'm super sorry for not updating in FOREVER. I've been procrastinating a lot lately. So, on with the story!

Today was the day that I got to know who this "Isaac" was and, more importantly, what he was to Bella. What if he was a boyfriend from Phoenix? Or a ex- boyfriend waiting to get her back? I couldn't handle the suspense. So, Alice and I are spying on Bella and Charlie at the airport. I couldn't read Bella's mind, so Charlie was my only point of view in this situation. He knows something that he's not telling Bella. But, for Charlie, not thinking about secrets helps him keep things secret. So, no luck there.
" Well? What is he thinking? Who's Isaac? Is he a boyfriend? A BFF? A cousin? Details, Edward, details!"
It was a little annoying to have to answer the questions I had already answered in my head, but I did anyway.
"He's not thinking anything. He's literally singing a song in his head. Charlie thinks Bella can tell he's hiding something."
"Wait, he's hiding something? What is he hiding"
My sister is starting to get on my nerves. What part of hiding doesn't she understand?
" If I knew, don't you think I would've told you?"
" I don't know. Your the mind reader, not me. You don't do a very good job of that, either. A good mind reader would be able to figure out what a middle aged human is hiding inside his middle aged human mind. But noooo, not you. You're starting to slack Edward, really."
Okay, forget getting on my nerves, she was dancing on them now. Alice's head was tilted to the side, and her expression somewhere between worried and berating. I knew it was fake, though. She just wanted to irritate me.
" Oh, shut up Alice. You aren't a very good clairvoyant either. A good clairvoyant would be able to see what he was hiding. Who's slacking off now?"
Alice shut up then. She knew better than to get me too riled up. If she did, her credit cards will be taking a one way trip to the blender. It was a good thing, too. I knew that Isaac's flight was supposed to come in about 10 minutes, and Bella was getting anxious. Why was she so nervous? Did she miss him that much? Most likely. I can only hope Bella doesn't flaunt their relationship too much.
" Flight 1-125 is now landing." I heard the speaker say overhead. Now was the moment of Truth.
"Bellarina! Chief C! How ya been! I missed you two!"
I guess this was the famous Isaac. He didn't look above average for a human, but he was very smooth. His walking, I mean. I'd never willingly say another man was smooth.
"Oh my God, this is him, isn't it! He seems loud. Horrible for Bella. I'd choose him over you in a heartbeat."
Again with the dancing on my nerves. I had almost forgotten Alice was here, she'd been so quiet. Wait, Bella was about to talk, I should probably listen.
" Hey, Isaac. How are you. And Xoi! What are you doing here! I haven't seen you for so long, like a whole year!"
I was just now noticing the woman trailing behind Isaac. I'm assuming they're not related, they look like polar opposites. Isaac had jet black hair with bleached tips, was tall, and had a little form. Zoi- which is a really unique name- was average height, had a edgy haircut, and a feminine yet strong build. Yeah, they couldn't be related.
" Oh, sweetheart, I've missed you too. When I heard that Isaac was coming to Forks, I decided to tag along with the hopes of bringing you back for a while. You're so good with my chore-"
"Well" said Bella, cutting off Zoi, "We should get going now. I have to start setting up for you. I wasn't expecting two guests."
What was Zoi going to say? And why was Bella so quick to interrupt? Man, I think I have a problem. No one should ask this many questions in such a short time.

After getting everything set up for Zoi, I happily went to sleep. I made sure to set my alarm, because I knew either Zoi or Isaac would be waking me up and taking me downstairs to practice. No one knew this, but Charlie has a mini dance studio for me in our basement. Well, it is the basement. I go there when I need to get frustration out, or when I'm bored. Zoi would probably be worried about whether I kept all of my flexibility. That wasn't a problem though, because I stretched every day.
"BELLA" I suddenly heard screamed in my ear. I jumped a foot in the air and fell off of my bed. Still disoriented from sleep and the fall, I didn't register that the shoes next to my head belonged to none other than Isaac Mandel. All I could think about was the buzzing in my head.
" Sorry, Bell. I tried to wake you gently, but you wouldn't, so I screamed. Anyway, get up. Zoi wants to teach you one of her dances. Then we have to talk."
All I could do was humm my agreement, and stagger to my feet. My feet, however, decided to betray me, I was was soon face down on the floor. I swear, if I weren't a dancer, I would think the God's put a curse on me. Maybe if I can sacrifice Isaac. Haha.
I finally got up from the floor, sighing all the way. I had a feeling I would have allot more mornings like this. I grabbed a change of clothes on my way to the bathroom, and took a really long shower, just to annoy them. Serves them right for waking me up this early on a Saturday.

I'm worried for Bella's sanity. I can hear some really weird music coming from her basement as I feared her house. I needed to have some kind of contact with her, so I'm going to act like I need noted from her. But it seems as if she's….busy at the moment.
"And 5, 6, 7, 8. Amazing! Lower, Bella. Good! Remember, grace! You need grace!"
Was that Zoi's voice? It is. It seems like she's instructing a dance class. But she was talking to Bella. Bella can't dance. She's the clumsiest person I know. I'll just knock on the door and ask Charlie for Bella.
KNOCK KNOCK!
Charlie swung the door open, and looked confused to see me. I don't blame him, I don't usually talk or socialize with anyone.
"Hello, Chief Swan. I'd Bella here? I need to copy her notes."
Come on Charlie, just give me some information.
"I'm sorry, Bella is busy right now. I'll tell her to talk to you tomorrow"
"Can I talk or her now? I really need those notes."
Charlie sighed and left to go get Bella. I guess that's something Charlie and Bella have in common. They both sigh when they're annoyed. And that annoyance is usually caused by me. Huh.
"Bella" Charlie's gruff voice said, interrupting whatever dance Bella was learning down there, "Edward says he needs to borrow some notes or something."
"Edward Cullen?"
I couldn't help but chuckle at the note of surprise in her voice. She was adorable.
"Yeah, that's the one."
"Okay, I'll go up there. Zoi, I'll be back, I just need to give Edward my notebook. I'll be back."
Yes. Come up here so I can interrogate you. But gently, of course. I love you too much to make you feel uncomfortable.
