As each class dragged on, I couldn't help but think about the first time I learned this material. I couldn't help but think about Forks High School. Angela, Jessica, Mike; I had a chance to see them all again. All in one place, I couldn't help but think I would find someway to convince Edward.
Lunchtime contained the usual banter from Jacob professing his hunger and our usual props sitting untouched in front of us. I sat there once again in silence thinking about how to confront Edward. Alice had picked up on my decision to confront him, "Bella got a letter for a high school reunion?" I sunk my head and sheepishly looked back up at Edward. By reading Alice's mind, he had already seen the confrontation.
"Bells you can't be serious?" This seemed like a repeated remark. "If you really want to go, I guess we can, but we can't actually attend." Edward's brows lowered in a concerned manner and met my crimson eyes with his.
"I know. I just wanna see everyone. All my old friends I haven't seen in twenty years."
Emmett had to chime in, "Do you even remember them?" In truth the memories had faded some, sometimes I couldn't even remember what Mike Newton looked like, but felt I could still pick him out of a crowd.
"Sure it fades in and out, but those are some of my happiest moments with Edward." I smiled and shifted myself closer to Edward. "I remember who they were and how they were my friends."
Edward had finally caught on that this was important to me, "If you want to go that badly, we'll go."
Even though the entire ordeal would be a risk, all I knew is that I would do anything to go. Edward understood that and I loved him for it.
"Hey Edward you remember that kid Ben during the days of Forks High School? I forget his last name, but do remember when we tricked him to ask Angela Weber out?"
Edward looked up at Emmett across the table and smiled, "Yeah that worked out fantastically. Hey if it turns out they got married, we're officially matchmakers." They both laughed and the silence resumed.
"Wait." I chimed in after the memory of Angela and Ben returned. The memories had faded more then I'd thought, "Your talking about the Angela I know from Forks. That was you!" He grinned and nodded. All these years had passed and Edward neglected to tell me his influence in Ben and Angela's relationship. I pushed for details but he didn't budge, I started to lose interest as I remembered that I was going to be able to see Angela and Ben again. The excitement was overwhelming.
