Once again thank you all for reviewing. I made up my mind, and I think I know how I'm going to do things. So here it is. I hope you like it. Tell me what you think or what I should fix, I'm really tired, so I haven't reread it yet for mistakes. If you find any, feel free to pinpoint. :)

I entered Biology and went straight to sit down in my seat. I didn't even pay attention to Mr. Banner. I stared out the window the whole time. Bella said she was dangerous. How can she be dangerous? What is so dangerous about her? Why is she dangerous? What is so bad about her? What is going on? I don't get it. I sighed. It didn't matter. To me she was innocent. The way she thought, the way she held herself. They way I thought about her, and the way I saw her through my eyes over shadowed whatever it was. It didn't matter to me. As long as she's not some crazy girl who goes about murdering people, then it was fine. She was just so different. Any girl I would have met would have voted against moving here if they hated it. But like she said she didn't have a choice. She did have an option though, and she chose what would make her family happy.
She chose them over herself. That's different, but what were even more fascinating were her reasons. The way she looked at things, and thought about them. They way that she tried to get off the spot light. She was just so kind at the same time, and so shy, but stubborn, and had a bad temper. I sighed. I just need to figure out what she's trying to tell me. Suddenly something hit the back of my head. I turned around to find a paper ball on the floor.
I bent down and grabbed the paper. It was from Millie. She smiled and I returned the gesture. I opened the note.
Hey, are you ok? I quickly grabbed a pencil and started writing my response.
I'm fine. My head just hurts. I threw the paper back at her. After a few more minutes she threw it back at me.
Well, feel better. I saw you sitting with Cullen today. How was it? I smiled and looked up at the clock. The bell was about to ring. I got up, picking my bags up with me and turned to Millie. She was already behind me.
"Yes, she was fine." I told her politely. We started walking.
"Well, what did you guys talk about?" She asked with curiosity.
"We discussed random topics. You were right. She is witty." I smiled at the thought. Millie elbowed me.
"You're falling for her, man." She accused. I looked at her with my eyebrows raised.
"I am not falling for her." I assured. She looked at me with a knowing look.
"What ever." She scoffed.
"So, do you happen to know why she left today?" I asked her softly.
"Well, I heard something happened to her brother Jasper. I just don't know those details." She shrugged. I nodded my head.
"Well, I'll talk to you later." I told her.
The rest of my classes went by in a breeze. I was only anxious for some strange reason to see Bella. I walked out into the parking lot looking for her. I got on my toes, but there was no sight of her anywhere. I sighed and turned around. As soon as I turned she was there, standing right in front of me. For some reason I felt pure relief. I sighed.
"Hey." I finally let out. She smiled sweetly, her eyes lightening.
"Hi." She said back. "Let's go." She said walking in front of me. She turned to face me when she noticed that I wasn't following. "Come on." She extending her hand. I took it, and the iciness of her hand relaxed all my muscles. I sighed once more. People were stopping and staring at us as we walked to her car. Well, she dragged me. We finally got to the car, and I sat down buckling myself in. She turned on the car, and put on the heater. Her cheeks were as pale as ever. She rubbed her hands together and started driving forward to get out of the parking lot.
"Why did you leave?" I finally asked. She didn't look at me. She looked forward.
"Jasper had an accident. My whole family left to go see him." She said quietly.
"Is he alright?" I asked. I was worried because she seemed so upset. She nodded.
"He's fine." She assured. I nodded once and turned to look at the window. The silence drew on, but it wasn't uncomfortable. It was relaxing. Like if we didn't have to say anything. She parked the car in my driveway. I stayed in her car.
"So…." I sighed.
"How many girls asked you out today?" She laughed. I looked up at her confused.
"What do you mean by that?" I asked.
"Oh come on! How many girls asked you out? Seriously. You know, the girl's choice for the dance coming up? It's next Saturday….next week!" She said looking at me with her eyes wide. "You didn't know did you?!" She mused with a laugh. Well, she seemed happy. I smiled.
"No, I didn't know. Why? Are you going to the dance?" I asked. She stopped laughing and looked at me.
"No, I don't dance." She said looking at her hands.
"You can't? Or you don't?" I asked curiously.
"I don't. As for the can part…it's midway." She sighed. I looked out the window again. I started to open the door to get out, but before I got completely out I stopped.
"Bella, you know that we're going to have to talk about what you said at lunch some point in time." I told her seriously. She nodded.
"I know. But you have to figure it out." She said quietly. I looked out the window again, to my house. I finally looked at her.
"I will." I promised. She sighed.
"I wish you wouldn't….." She trailed off. I started to bite the inside of my cheek.
"I'll see you tomorrow." She finally said. I nodded and got out of her truck, walking out into my porch. I turned around to see that she had already left. I turned back to the door and started to unlock it. When I opened the door I was hit with an amazing scent. It was food. I walked to the kitchen to find Hazel cooking.
"Hazel?" I asked as I put my book bag on the floor. She turned around and smiled.
"Hello Edward." She greeted me, turning back to her cooking. I walked to her side and looked over at her cooking some spaghetti.
"What are you doing here early? I though you would be gone a whole week?" I asked as I sat down on the counter top.
"Yes, well, my friend's daughter is getting married, so I went down to La Push where she lives to visit her with her mom. We sat around for a whole day learning about some weird stories. It was very….interesting." Hazel laughed. I looked at her confused.
"What do you mean? What kind of stories?" I asked as I grabbed an apple and bit into it.
"Oh, I'll tell you during dinner. Your dad isn't going to be here later." She said softly. I nodded my head. I jumped off of the counter and went to my room. I lay down on my bed as I bit into my apple again. The juicy flavor was hitting my taste buds. I sighed. I seem to be doing that a lot. As I let my mind flow by, I remembered my conversation with Bella.
Even though I've only known her for a month or so, I can tell she and I have made an improvement. We have made a very large improvement. She at least talks to me now. I still don't know about the whole dangerous part.
"Edward! Food is ready!" Hazels voice rang from downstairs. I jumped off my bed and threw away my apple in the trash can. I ran downstairs and into the dining area. Hazel had a plate set across from mine. I sat down and picked up my fork. I started to play with the spaghetti.
"So, what was the story?" I asked her. She looked up and cleared her throat, putting the fork down on her plate.
"Well, I don't remember all of them perfectly, but the one that really freaked me out was told by Emily's fiancée….I forgot his name, I think it was Sam….anyways, he said that one of the Quileute legends passed down-"
"What's Quileute?" I interrupted.
"Oh, that's their tribe. He's part Quileute. Anyways, he was telling us something about them being descended from wolves. In other words, they were werewolves. The thing is though, that these 'werewolves' were said to have enemies. He told me that they were called 'the cold ones' or something like that….I was really confused, but he explained to me that they were vampires. He said that one of his friend's great grandfather was the leader of the group, and sent out to not let them past their land. According to him the vampires he had met weren't like vampires that you would see in movies. You know? Those…um…those long black capes…and err….um….what else….the fangs…and all that Dracula mumbo. He said that they looked like humans, except they were extraordinarily beautiful, and very pale. He says their eyes were red, and on rare occasions, they were said to be yellow. They were supposedly very hard to kill, because they had super strength, and super speed, and could smell, and hear without a problem, anything. He says some were more gifted than others. Anyways, he says their old tribe confronted some, and they had to complete a treaty to stay off the lands." She shuddered. The whole time she was explaining her hands were up in the air, and she would make facial expressions.
I smiled at her. "That seems quite interesting." I agreed.
"Oh yes! But also creepy. It was a good story. I don't know it well enough though, you would have to hear it from him." She said picking up her fork. I was almost halfway done with my food, so I continued to play with it. For some reason, everything that she said reminded me of something. It was in the back of my head and I couldn't quite seem to pin point it.
I finally got up and put my food in the dishwasher. I decided it was time to go to bed. I was getting tired already. I walked up to my room, and grabbed a towel, and headed for the bathroom. While I was in the shower, I thought about what Hazel had said. It all seemed too familiar. I don't know why. It just did. All of it seemed way to familiar to me. Like, I've seen it before or something. It was at the tip of my tongue, I felt it threatening to get out, but it didn't. I sighed as I finished my shower. I put on some boxers and my pajama pants. I didn't bother putting on a shirt. I ran to my bed and jumped on it. As soon as my head hit the pillow I felt relieved. I sighed and let my mind wander off as I slept.
