Part 4-

Bella POV:

I tried to calm my breathing as I found my way to the biology room. Ok, so there are vampires in Forks, I told myself, so what I'll just stay away from them, no problem. But I knew that it wouldn't work, I'm a magnet for trouble; something bad was bound to happen.

Stop it! I scolded. You're blowing this wildly out of proportion!

I pushed all thoughts of vampires out of my mind as I walked in to Biology. I walked up to the teacher and gave him my slip. He nodded as he signed it.

"Ah yes, your Isabella Swan." I blushed, was there anyone who didn't know who I was?

"Bella." I corrected out of habit. He smiled at me.

"Very well Bella, there is only one seat left, you can sit there." He pointed at a table behind me. I turned to see who my new lab partner was and nearly choked when I saw Edward Cullen looking back at me. I turned back towards the teacher preparing to ask for a different seat when I remembered that he had said that there was only one seat left. I took a deep breath and walked slowly to the table, I saw that Edward tensed as I came closer. Good, I thought, at least he's uncomfortable as well.

I sat down and looked to the front of the room. Great Bella, only you, the danger magnet, would get a vampire as a lab partner. I sighed.

"Alright class," the teacher said as he passed out a worksheet, "today we will be looking at onion roots. Working with your partner, you will use your microscope and classify each slide into the stages of cell division." I groaned internally, I was hoping that I could just ignore the vampire sitting next to me but this meant that I would actually have to talk to him.

I turned my head towards the middle of the table. Pulling the microscope towards me I put in the first slide, preparing to talk as little as possible. I took a quick glance into the eyepiece.

"Prophase." I stated, writing it on my worksheet. I noticed that there was no movement from Edward's side of the table. I looked up and saw that he was staring at me curiously, he also seemed to be holding his breath. The more I looked at him the more I wanted to reach out and touch his perfection. It's a mask, the beauty just lures their prey in. I try to tell myself, but I can't stop looking. When my gaze reaches his face I notice his eyes with shock, they are a dark gold, not the red color that I had expected. The shock knocks me out of my reverie. I shake my head and reach to get the next slide. I couldn't believe that I had almost fell for that, if it weren't for his eyes… his eyes, why were his eyes a different color?

Someone cleared their throat and I realized that I must have zoned out for a minute. I turned to see Edward waiting patiently for me to put the slide in. I slipped the slide into the microscope and pushed it towards him, careful not to touch him. He looked at me for a moment before turning his head to the microscope.

"Anaphase." His voice was like bells, I could listen to it all day and never tire of it. Stop it! I told myself. Don't fall for the lie! I wrote down the answer in my sheet and pulled the microscope to me. I looked at the next slide.

"Metaphase." I said. I saw Edward write the answer down out of the corner of my eye.

Edward POV:

Isabella Swan

I looked up as the teacher's thoughts went through my head. Standing beside him was the new girl, I once again tried to read her mind but her thoughts stayed hidden from me. She blushed and I wondered why.

"Bella." I heard her correct the teacher. So she preferred to be called Bella?

Let's see, the teacher's thoughts rang, I don't see any other seats so I guess I'll have to put her with Cullen.

He smiled at her, "Very well Bella, there is only one seat left, you can sit there." The teacher pointed to the empty seat at my lab table. Bella turned around and looked towards her new seat. She saw me and a look that could only be described as pure terror went across her face. I didn't understand, the other humans didn't have this reaction to me. She started to turn around but then decided against it. Taking a deep breath and ducking her head, she walked slowly to the table. As she got closer her scent got stronger I tensed and stopped breathing.

She sat down and looked to the front of the class, completely ignoring me. I wondered why she seemed to fear me so much; maybe it had something to do with me not being able to hear her thoughts. It was very frustrating; I longed to hear what was going on in her head. Wait! What! Since when did I care what a human thought? I sighed as I answered my own question, since I couldn't hear it.

"Prophase." Bella's voice woke me from my daze and I looked to her curiously. She was writing something down on a sheet of paper. Apparently I was supposed to be writing as well because she looked up when I didn't move. When she looked at me she froze as if she was looking intently at something. I didn't mean to stare back at her but everything about her caught my eye. She was small and slender, but not overly skinny. Her skin was so pail that she could possibly pass for a vampire herself. Her face was heart shaped, the cheeks tinted slightly pink with her blush. Her upper lip was slightly out of balance, a bit to full to match the lower. And her eyes… wow her eyes, they were a deep chocolate brown, so pure and innocent. Her eyes met with mine and I was struck with such a strange feeling, it was like a warmth running through my veins but it didn't hurt, it felt wonderful, it felt like I was alive again. I read the emotions that ran across her face, first amazement and wonder, then shock, she turned her head away quickly and the warmth instantly disappeared.

She shook her head and reached for a slide. She seemed to freeze again and a strange expression went across her face. As I watched her I realized that I still wasn't breathing, I took in a small breath and her scent hit me like a flame thrower, her blood smelled so sweet and so… uncovered, like there was no skin covering the vein, was she bleeding? I looked her over for the source of the smell, but saw no open wound. I took in another small breath and the scent didn't hit me as bad as it did the first time. Control, I told myself as I took in a deep breath. Her scent made my throat burn but it was bearable.

I cleared my throat to speak to her, her head shot up and looked towards me. I just stared for a moment; she seemed to remember the slide that was still in her hand and she put it into the microscope and passed it to me. It took me a moment to figure out what I was supposed to be doing, and then I remembered, Oh the project, right. I leaned my head over the eye piece and lingered for a moment, of course I knew what it was as soon as I looked at it but I had to pause so I appeared human.

"Anaphase." I told her and wrote the answer on the sheet in front of me and I saw Bella do the same. She grabbed the microscope and pulled it to her as she put in the next slide. She glanced into the microscope.

"Metaphase." She said and she turned to write it down.

The rest of Biology class went the same way, Bella refused to speak with me except for the one or two word answers so we could finish the project. When the bell rang she all but ran out of the class room, leaving me blinking with confusion. I decided to skip my next class, it was Spanish with Emmett and Jasper, they would wonder where I was but if I went now they would know something is wrong. I had to get my emotions under control before I see them anyway.

With that decision I started walking out to my Volvo, maybe some music could help me calm down.

A/N: well i hope it was worth the wait, and if it wasn't i'm terrably sorry, since my computer is still messed up im not sure how often i will be able to update but i will work as hard as i can to get the next chapter up faster!

Please review!!!
