Ch. 7

Recap:

"You're wearing my shirt." Edward said.

I chuckled and blushed. "Sorry." I replied.

He just laughed at me. The amazing laugh I loved. He set me down and I walked over to Alice's car, ready to go get the supplies for turnabout.


After Alice, Angela, and I stopped off at the nearest craft shop, which was pretty far, we drove over to my house to start preparing.

"So," Alice said, "tomorrow we'll hang the stars up on his locker and decorate his car with these streamers and the remainder of the stars."

"Don't you think I should get to know him better?" I asked Alice and Angela.

"Yes." Angela replied.

"I beg to differ." Alice said.

"I've only been here for a few days." I added to my argument.

"You're the one who wanted to ask him and go to the dance with a date." Alice said.

"You did say that." Angela admitted.

"I know." I replied. "Sometimes I feel like I've know him my whole life."

"I get what you mean." Alice said.

"Sorry, but I've never felt that way." Angela replied.

"So, Alice." I said, trying to break the silence, but Alice was in that weird state where she dazed off. "Here we go again."

"Sorry about that." Alice apologized. "But I have an idea."

"Uh-oh." I replied. Alice just slapped my arm.

"Why don't we all get together." Alice suggested. "You, Edward, Angela, and I can all hang out together."

"Sorry, but I already have plans with Ben tonight." Angela said. "I better leave to get ready. Good luck with Edward."

"Thanks!" I replied. "I'll see you at school."

"Is my plan great or what?" Alice asked.

"I'm already excited." I replied.

"Good. I'll call Edward." Alice said, taking her cell phone out of her pocket. She mumbled into the phone. I couldn't imagine how Edward could understand what she was saying. "Edward's going to pick us up in half an hour."

"We better get ready." I said.

"I'm doing your makeup!" Alice called. She shoved me into the bathroom and started on my makeup. "I'm done!" Alice said thirty minutes later.

"Edward's going to be here any minute!" I panicked. "And I'm still wearing his shirt!"

"You look good." Alice complimented me. Right on cue, Edward knocked on the door. "Let's go, Issy!" Alice said, dragging me down the stairs.

"Issy?" I asked once we made it down the stairs.

"Yeah, it's your new nickname." Alice said, opening the door.

"Hello Alice and Issy." Edward greeted us.

"Hi." Alice chirped.

"Hello." I replied, quietly.

"Let's go!" Alice, said dragging me into the backseat.

"Ow!" I yelped.

"What's the matter?' Alice asked.

"I hit my head." I replied.

"Are you okay?" Edward asked, touching my arm.

"You're freezing!" I said.

"Well, it's February." Edward shot back.

"I've got my eyes on you." I told him with a suspicious countenance. Edward just walked away and headed to the driver's seat.

"Did I say something?" I asked Alice. She just ignored me. Great. After a few minutes of driving I asked, "Where are we going?" I asked.

"We're going to see a movie." Alice replied.

"What movie?" I asked.

"We'll decide when we get there." Edward said. We didn't talk for the remainder of the trip. Alice was whispering something, but her lips were hardly moving and I had no idea what she was saying. Edward finally parked the car and we walked to the theatre.

"Pick a number one through twenty." Alice ordered me.

"Seven." I replied.

"We'll be seeing some romantic movie." Alice said.

"Huh?" I asked.

"It's number seven on the list." Alice told me, showing me the flyer that had a list of movies.

"Oh. I replied. We all bought our tickets and strolled into the theater. We sat in the top row. I sat in between Alice and Edward, again. Once again, I tuned out the movie and was only capable of paying attention to Edward and thinking about him.

"What did you think of the movie, Issy?" Alice asked me.

"Oh, it was ok." I replied, still dazing off.

"Excuse Edward and I." Alice said, tugging on Edward's shirt. "We need to talk."

"I'll be outside." I said. I stepped outside to breathe and try to clear my head.

"Hello there." I heard some one say.

"Uh, hi." I replied back, trying not to engage in a conversation.

"You new here?" the man asked me. I just ignored him and started to walk back to the theatre. "I was talking to you." the man said, grabbing my arm. His breath wreaked like alcohol.

"I really better be going." I said, trying to get free of his grip.

"Why don't I show you around." he said, tugging on my arm.

"I'm fine, thank you." I said, not wanting to make a scene, but the man started to walk, dragging me with him. I tried to walk in the other direction.

"Isabella?" Edward asked with anger in his voice. "Excuse me, sir, but she's with me." Edward said, grasping the man's arm with venom in his voice.

"Ahh." the man said in pain, shaking his arm.

"Come-on, Isabella." Edward said, putting his arm around my waist and dragging me to his car. He opened the passenger's door for me and helped me in. He walked around the car and into the driver's seat. He started the car and speed off.

"Thank you." I whispered.

"No problem." Edward replied, coldly.

"Where's Alice?" I asked.

"She had to leave." Edward replied.

"Sorry I ruined your evening."

"You're fine." He replied.

"You're eyes are black." I told him. He just looked at me with a look of confusion and surprise.

"Aren't my eyes usually black?" he asked.

"No." I replied. "I remember them being a butterscotch color, but lately they've been black and you've been very tense." he just looked at me. The look was softer this time. He was more relaxed. "I must sound like I'm insane." I whispered to myself.

"You're not insane." Edward assured me. "You're just very observant, too observant."

"Oh." I replied. We just sat there for the rest of the ride as I breathed in his sweet scent.

"Edward," I said.

"Yes?"

"You're going to break the steering wheel." I informed him.

"You're right." he said. He removed his hands for a second and I just stared at the imprint that his hands left. I just stared in horror. He quickly realized what he did, glanced at me, and then grabbed the steering wheel, but it was too quick.

"Edward?" I asked. He just ignored me and drove even faster. "Edward!" I said, scared for my life.

"Here we are." Edward said as he pulled up to my house.

"Thanks." I said as I stepped out of the car and into my house. There was something different about Edward Cullen and I was going to figure out what.
