I'M SOOOOOO SORRY; I HAVE NOT UPDATED IN THE LONGEST TIME! My surgery went great; I was out of school for about 3 weeks. When I got back to school, all my teachers were hounding on me for all of my work. I had to take 4 English tests, 3 Global History tests, 5 Physical Science quizzes, and 1 Integrated Algebra test. Well…. ON WITH CHAPTER 5!
"You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well."

Omg, it's Bella. Bella! I've missed my life sized Barbie soooo much! I have to talk to her. Oh, and the song! I remember writing that for Tanya Denali- before we knew how amazing Bella was at singing. I have to talk to her! This is going to be a veeeeeerrrry looooooong class.
Bella got down from the little stage in the music room, and took the only available seat- right next to me! As she sat down, I was practically bouncing out of my chair, I was so excited.
I couldn't believe it when she and Edward broke up. I felt torn between the two. Whose side was I supposed to take- my best friend's, or my brother's. I chose Edward's… biggest mistake of my life; I've missed Bella waaaay too much!
Today, Mr. Best was teaching us about Mozart… again. He was going on and on about some dead guy; how does he find this interesting!
Bella seemed like she was off in her own little world when the teacher called on her."Isabella, when was Mozart born?"
Bella snapped back into reality, "The 27th of January, 1756." The teacher looked amazed at Bella's answer, and just turned back to the chalkboard.
The bell finally rang, and everyone simultaneously stood up and ran to the door. Bella was the first one out. I needed to see her. I was shoving past everyone, trying to reach Bella. When I finally got out; I spotted Bella down the hall walking hastily toward the courtyard.
"Bella!" My shouting made her jump. She slowly turned.
"Alice…?"

I thought she hated me? Why is she smiling at me then?
Because she's sorry for you. Maybe you should talk to her, a voice in the back of my head said. I don't want her pity I yelled at the voice. It's better than her hating you. Of course I had to agree with the voice.
I was snapped out of it by a hand waving in front of my eyes. "Bella? Hello? You in there?" Alice's voice inquired.
"Sorry, I zoned out…" I spoke quietly.
"Yeah, I noticed," she stated simply. "So how have you been Belly?"
"Oh Alice! Really! Belly!" I haven't been called that in years!
"Yes! I will call you whatever I want to call you!"
"Alrighty then…?" I dropped it.
"Bella!" A familiar voice shouted.
(A/N: Okay, I was going to end it there but I love you all too much!)
"E- Edward…? I- I thought we weren't speaking?" Okay now he was really confusing me.
Hurt flashed across his face quicker than lightning, but I saw it. "We're not, you forgot this." He held out my songbook.
Horrified that I would leave said book behind I asked, "You didn't look in it did you? 'Cause if you did, I didn't mean a single word of any of them." All my songs were written about him. "I mean they weren't about you in particular; I just wrote them based on…"
Edward cut in with an amused stare, "I didn't read it. I would never invade someone's privacy like that."
I swear my swooning was almost audible. Every time I convince myself that I don't need to love him anymore, he says something like that. All of his words just show what a kind and considerate person he is. If only I could get him to like me back!
Edward and I had been staring at one another for what seemed like eternity, but was, in actuality, only as long as our passing period. The late bell rang, and I nearly jumped out of my skin. Averting my eyes from Edward's strong gaze, I ran to catch up to Alice who was already headed to Lunch.
"Edward, aren't you coming?" Alice yelled behind her without looking back.
Edward didn't respond immediately. "Um… I have something to set up. I'll see you in Gym class."
'Something to set up'… I thought, 'that was vague'. I looked at Alice, and she nodded in silent agreement. How she knew what I was thinking… I have no idea, but somehow I could just tell she did.
As I walked to the cafeteria, something occurred to me…. I hadn't seen the rest of the Cullen clan yet today. I froze in place, and Alice turned to see what the holdup was. This is not going to go well.
Sorry, I know, it's not as long as you'd like it to be…. But oh well, cut me some slack, my computer died and I had to write this chapter all over again!
