Previously:
Once I get to my room I quickly get started on my homework. About forty-five minutes later I am finished. I stand up and stretch, I looked at the clock on my nightstand it reads ten thirty. I yawn and crawl into bed, after turning off the lights. I quickly fall into a dreamless sleep.
Chapter 6
The next morning I woke up before my alarm went off. For once it was sunny outside, I was surprised considering that this is after all Forks. I had a few minutes to spare but I wanted to try to keep Charlie in a good mood so I went to make him breakfast. When I get downstairs though, Charlie is no where to be found. I walk over to the window and look out and his cruiser is missing too. "That's strange, Charlie never leaves without breakfast, I wonder what's going on," I thought as I walked back upstairs. When I get upstairs I decide to use my extra time for a long, hot shower. I walk into my room and pick out my clothes for the day, a sky blue long sleeved shirt with black skinny jeans. After I find my clothes I walk across the hall to the bathroom, and I quickly strip my pajamas off and get into the shower.
After I shower and dress I walk back downstairs, and into the kitchen. I take the left over lasagna out of the fridge and cut a small portion off. I take a plate out of the cabinet, and place the piece of lasagna on it. I put the plate in the microwave, and push start. While I wait for the microwave to beep I put the remaining lasagna back in the fridge. A few moments later I hear the microwave go off. I walk back over to the microwave and take it out. I grab a fork out of the sink and start to eat. The lasagna is at the perfect temperature. I savor each bite as I eat it, it is still gone too soon for my liking though.
I quickly wash my dishes and go upstairs for my backpack. On my way up the stairs though I trip and almost fall, I quickly catch myself before I fall down the stairs though. I walk in my room, grab my backpack, and hurry back down the stairs. Once I get downstairs I go out the door, lock it, and get in my truck. My truck stalls twice before starting, I pull out of the drive way, and start my short drive to school.
I want to get to school early to talk to Raven and ask her about Edward Cullen. I wonder if he was only that put off by me, or if he had acted that way towards everyone. I know that Raven would hold the answers to my questions.
In my haste to get to school I failed to notice that I arrived ten minutes before Raven does. I pull into my usual spot and wait for Raven. I quickly grow impatient while waiting for her, it was times like these that I wished I had a cell phone. Renee had offered me one, but I was nervous enough having my laptop at Charlie's house. I knew if I was caught with my laptop or a cell phone Charlie would make me pay for it.
Finally the wait for Raven was over and she pulled into the school parking lot. As soon as she parked I jump out of my truck and knocked on her passenger side window. She looks over and sees that it is me so she unlocks the door, and I climb in. "Hey Raven, I have some questions about Edward Cullen. Do you think you can help me?" I say as soon as I am in her car. Raven laughs, "I believe you have come to the right place, what are your questions?" "I thought I had," I laugh before continuing, "did he seem friendly to people yesterday?" Raven thinks about it for a moment, "now that you mention it I remember people taking about him yesterday. They were saying how he was acting like he was better than everyone else, he didn't really talk to anyone, he seemed to glare at a few people too. Why are you asking about Edward? Do you like him?" Once I realized that he had treated everyone like that I relaxed a bit, "he must have just been nervous about his first day" I think, "yeah. That must have been it."
Raven brings me out of my thoughts by pinching my arm, "owe! What was that for?" I ask her. "You were in la la land. What were you thinking? Were you thinking about Edward? Aw! You would make a cute couple!" Raven says all in one breath. "Slow down, yes I was thinking about Edward. I don't think he likes me though, he acted strange yesterday. I'm going to try talking to him today. I'm not sure if I like him or not yet, although he is pretty hot." I can feel my cheeks heat up, I had not meant to say that last part out loud. "We will have to talk about this more at lunch, remember we need to get there early so that we get our table back." "Okay, I'll hurry there so you can get your lunch and then sit." Raven smiles and you both get out of her car and hurry into the school building.
Lunch ~ Bella's POV
I hurry to lunch even though I don't think there is a reason to, I haven't seen any of the Cullens at all today. "That's strange, today is there second day and they aren't here. I wonder why," I think to myself as I reach the cafeteria. I walk over to my usual table and sit down. I pull out my English book and start working on my homework while I wait for Raven. I don't have to wait long though. Soon after I start Raven outs her tray down next to me and sits down. I close my book and put it back away since Raven is here now and I'd rather talk to her. "Have you noticed the Cullen's aren't here today?" Raven asks. "I have, it's strange you'd think that since this is their first week they'd be here. Plus why are they all absent instead of just one or two?" I reply. We spend the entire period talking about the Cullen's and our plans for this weekend.
When the bell rings Raven and I both gather our belongings and go to our next class. Since Edward isn't here I am once again alone at my biology table, it doesn't bother me though. It is kind of like they never came, other than the fact I can't stop thinking about him.
The rest of the day passes some what slowly. When the last bell rings I run to my locker to get what I need to be able to do my homework. Once I am done I hurry to my car so I can say bye to Raven before we both have to get home. As I approach my car though I see that she has already left though, I must have spent too much time at my locker. I had trouble remembering what my homework for the night is so I took longer than usual to finish with my locker. I climbed into my truck, started it, and started my drive home.
Friday ~ Bella's POV
The Cullens didn't show up for school again till Friday. My morning classes passed by slower than usual because I was anxious for biology so I could talk to Edward alone. When it was lunch time I ran to the cafeteria again so we could try to get our table. Somehow Rosalie had beaten me to the table though. She sat there with a smug look on her face. I felt defeated as I looked for Raven, I knew that we weren't going to be able to spend lunch time together in the cafeteria anymore. If we were going to be together we'd have to find somewhere else to spend it, or see if any table would take pity on me and let us both join them.
I found Raven in line again. When I told her what happened she was furious, "who are they to come here and just take which ever table they want!?" Raven said. I was surprised that she didn't yell like she normally would when she is mad. "We'll figure this out. I wanted to play the piano some today anyway. I can go to the music room and you can stay here and eat lunch." I say, I would rather spend the time with Raven, but this is just how the cookie of my life crumbles. "We will find a better solution on Monday, I want to spend this time with you." I nod and turn, "I'll see you after school." "Count on it," is her reply.
I walk out of the cafeteria and through the halls till I reach the music room. Playing the piano has always brought me happiness. When I get there though I hear someone already playing though. I listen to the music as I get closer. The tune is beautiful, unlike any I have heard before. I reach the door and look inside. I am surprised when I see that Edward is who is playing the piano. I spend the rest of the period, secretly, listening to him play.
A/N: What do you think? Love it? Hate it? This is my longest chapter so far. I was surprised when I saw how long it was. I was just inspired to write =) Review please!!
