Chapter 4

I looked around the room. How did he get out so fast? He was there and then he wasn't? I gave up and decided to go to bed. I climbed into bed, and switched off the lights. I looked out my window into the forest. I gazed up at the moon. I couldn't see anything. It must be a new moon. Ironic, I thought. I heard my door open, and froze, "Hello?" I asked.

"Hey Cleo. What's up you like you've seen a ghost," She laughed. Alexis, who else?

"Oh no, I'm fine," I lied. Alexis shrugged her shoulders and sat down on my small couch. I turned to face my window again. Then I heard another voice. I didn't want the person to think I was awake so I slowly turned to face the door where they were. It was Lecky and . . . Edward. I could've sworn he just left.

"I thought I told you to leave her alone!" Alexis said. Edward chuckled.

"And I thought I said I could do as I please," He said.

"Why are you even here? You barley know her!" Alexis said getting louder.

"She's awake," Edward said, "Cleo, she's not asleep,"

"She always sleeps like that!" Alexis said loudly.

"Please keep your voice down," He said

"Fine," she said quieter, "Why the hell are you here!?" she said, "You're going to get her killed!" She said, now yelling, "Leave . . . now," she said.

Edward smiled, "I'll see you Monday," he said, "most likely," And then he was gone. I sat up. Alexis was gone too. I looked around. I brushed my hair behind my ears. I lay back down and turned on my iPod. I needed something to help me go to sleep. I pressed play. Paramore went on. Fences. Not exactly soothing I thought. I clicked on next. Bad Girlfriend, by Theory of a Deadman. My favorite song, but not know. Next Bella's Lullaby from the Twilight movie turned on. This works, I thought as I closed my eyes. Slowly I slipped into sleep.

The sun shone in through my window. I sat up and yawned. I rubbed my eyes. I got out of bed. On my floor there was mud. Who the hell tracked mud into here? They didn't look like anything. Just splotches of mud. Must have been Alexis. I opened my door and walked downstairs. Lecky was at my kitchen table. She was wearing a pair of sweatpants and an old t-shirt. She was eating my dad's pancakes. I grabbed a plate and took some of Leck's pancakes, and poured some syrup on them.

"Morning," she said. As she shoved a fork full of syrupy pancakes into her mouth.

"Morning," I said, "Wanna go for a run this morning?" I asked. She nodded. We continued to eat, "I'm going to go get my sweats on," I said. I walked upstairs leaving Alexis with her pancakes. I grabbed a pair of shorts and my Fitch long sleeved shirt. I brushed my hair back into a ponytail. I brushed my teeth. I don't get it. How does Alexis know Edward? I thought. I rinsed and walked downstairs. I grabbed two water bottles and threw one at Alexis. She dropped it.

"Smooth. You as graceful as a Swan!" I laughed. She smiled. She got up and we headed out the door, "Want to go down by Main Street?" I asked.

"Ok," She said. I had always been faster than Alexis. So when I jogged with her I always slowed my pace, but not today. Alexis was very energetic. As we got near Main Street, I turned and ran over near Starbucks. Alexis followed. I stopped.

"I take it we're getting coffee or something," she said. I nodded. I ordered a strawberry frappuccino and Alexis ordered a tea. We sat down at our usual table and drank our drinks. A bunch of kids from our school were outside near town center by the fountain and Bomguarts.

"Want to go over near the fountain?" I asked. Alexis laughed.

"I want to go but you're too damn slow to catch me!" She threw her tea in the garbage and ran out the door. I did the same. I pushed the door open and ran across the street. Cars were honking at me as I ran through them. Alexis isn't gonna beat me!

"And so I beat you again," I said as I jogged in front of her. She smiled.

"And this is where you will do your cocky I'm better than you run," She laughed. I started to run backwards.

"Yep," I said. Clouds rolled in as I neared the fountain. I turned around and slipped on a patch of ice. Two strong arms caught me. I was breathing heavy. Someone's hands were on my shoulder.

"Are you alright," I looked up. It was Edward. I stared into his deep brown eyes. But hadn't they been topaz the other day? He smiled. I pulled my hands off his chest.

"Sorry," I said as I turned around. For a quick second I could've sworn Leck was glaring at him. But then she smiled.

"Ah, Cleo," Edward says as I slowly turned around and stared at him.

"Yeah?" I ask. He took a deep breath.

"Do you want to come to dinner with me tonight?" He says. My heart skipped a beat. He smiled.

"Sure," I finally said. I brushed the hair out of my eyes. He smiled a crooked grin.

"I'll pick you up at six,"
