Olivia, Ruby and Amelia walked by me when I was going towards the truck in the evening.

"What's wrong with you?" Ruby asked.

"Nothing" I shrugged.

"You are hiding something from us and I know it." Amelia said.

"Out with it" Olivia threatened.

I sighed.

"You guys know Jake, right?" I asked.

All of them nodded.

I took a deep breath and said "I love him"

All three dropped in their tracks.

"That's why you declined the hottest boy in Forks High when they asked you out for dance?" Ruby asked

I nodded as I felt heat rush up to my face.

"So you won't mind if I ask Dean out?" Olivia asked.

"Why would I mind?" I asked.

I took out the water bottle and drank some water to calm myself.

"Because half the boys here have a crush on you" Amelia stated calmly.

I wasn't so calm. I sprayed the water out. (Thankfully no one walked by me at that time). I coughed. Amelia patted my back until I stopped coughing.

"What?" I asked bewildered.

Their eyes were as round as coins.

"How can you be so oblivious?" Olivia asked as if she thought I knew this for a long time. A small voice said she was probably thinking that.

"W-we-well" I spluttered.

"You really didn't know?" Ruby asked trying not to laugh.

I couldn't speak at all. Oh man. I never knew that.

"No. I mean, what is there in me? I am so ... inferior. I am not even beautiful"

All three started laughing. I was getting annoyed.

"What?" I asked testily.

"You honestly think you are not beautiful?" Olivia asked.

"You think I am?" I asked back.

She chuckled and said "Everyone thinks you are"

"Not only that. You are funny, friendly with all, has good sense of humour. You don't brag about yourself. You are simple." Amelia explained.

"Wow" I said.

"Enough distractions. Tell about your love" Ruby said.

"Well, he kissed me. He loves me too" I said grinning like mad.

"Congrats" the said together.

"They are calling you Lily" Amelia suddenly said.

Who might the "they" be? I frowned as I turned. It soon turned into a smile. Bella was waving for me and Edward was with him too.

"Bye. See you guys tomorrow. I'll explain to you in detail" I said as I ran.

I didn't even hear them say good-bye.

I was panting by the time I reached them both.

"Well, Bella came to school with me today" Edward explained.

Oh! I smiled at him. He smiled back. But Bella just glared and got into the car.

"Since she doesn't have truck I thought I should drive you home" he said.

"No. No. You go with Bella. I'll just walk home. It nothing really. Enjoy with her." I said.

He frowned. "I am not letting you walk" he said.

"Did you drop Bella in home yesterday?" I asked.

"Yes" he said.

"Sorry for asking but did you enjoy the ride?" I asked.

"I did" he said smiling. He suddenly frowned and sighed.

Something was wrong. I have to speak with him

"I want to speak with you. Can we see each other during lunch tomorrow?"

"Course" he said.

"Ok then. Bye." I said turning around to walk.

"Hey Lily, Wait" I heard him shout.

I giggled and shook my head. He was in front of me in an instant. He smiled playfully.

"Get in the car"

"I like walking. I want to walk. I don't want to go there early" I said looking down. He seemed to have finally understood.

I ran and waved him bye.

"Bye bells" I shouted as the car went past me. I didn't get a wave out of the window. I shrugged. Maybe she hadn't heard me.

I was humming to myself as I walked. I heard someone behind me. I turned and I came face-to-face with Matthew Bones. He was in the same year as me.

"Hey Matt" I said.

I have had only few words with in these years. I never like calling by surnames. I always go with their first name, even if am meeting them for the first time.

He flashed a smile.

"Hey Matt" I said again.

"Why are you walking?" I asked.

"I don't know. I just felt like it" I shrugged.

"Can I join you?" he asked.

I smiled back. "Of course" I said.

"Do you ever not smile?" he asked.

"Many times" I replied.

"Doesn't look like it. You are always smiling whenever I see you. How do you always keep smiling?" he said.

"I don't know." I said.

"You know what; you have a really nice character. That day you were angry because you got detention unfairly but you didn't ever snap at Peter when he asked you silly questions. How can you be patient?" he asked me in awe.

I blushed under his praise. "I don't want to hurt others" I mumbled.

He smiled at me.

"Who are you going with to the dance?" he asked.

"No one. I have to go to Seattle that weekend" I said.

"Aw Man! That's awful. I was looking forward for a dance with you." He said.

"Sorry." I said.

That way we talked for quite a long time. After sometime I was leaning against a tree and he was standing in front of me crossing his arms eying me in awe.

"What time is it?" I asked suddenly as darkness fell over.

"Nearly 8" he said.

"Crap. I have to go home. I really had a good time with you." I said as I hugged him. I didn't give him time to hug me back as I broke out into a run. Home was just 15 minutes run from here. I would have reached home in 45 minutes if I hadn't stopped while speaking with him.

As I ran for about 2 minutes a familiar roar of a truck alerted me. It stopped in front of me. I opened the front door and got in. Bella's face was stony when she was driving.

"Hey Bella." I said.

She just glared at me and she didn't reply. Jeez. Why is someone or the other always glaring at me?

As soon as I was inside the house I threw myself on the couch.

Bella slammed the door and went into the kitchen. I signed and got up to follow her.

"Bells, what's wrong?" I asked her.

"Get out of here" she hissed at me and I flinched.

"Not until you tell me what is wrong" I said stubbornly.

I waited as she glared at me.

"Why are you here?" she asked finally.

"Here means?" I asked.

"In home. Didn't you find anyone else to sleep with tonight?" she asked.

"What?" I gasped that she thought so lowly of me.

"Where were you last night?" she asked venomously.

"In La Push" I said without hesitation.

"Where exactly?" she tried again.

"Jake's house" I said.

"Who did you ride with yesterday?" she asked testily.

"Emmett" I said not getting what was her problem.

"Who were you speaking with today?" she asked.

"Matt. He is my classmate"

"Ya rit. He is your classmate. That why you spent time with him instead of coming home huh?" she asked.

I tried to answer but she interrupted me.

"That's why you insisted on walking huh? Baiting someone to fall for you?" she shouted.

"What are you blabbering about? He was just a friend. Emmett was just a friend. Just like you have a boyfriend I have Jake." I ended up shouting too.

Her eyes wavered.

"Why were you in Jake's house then?" she hissed.

"Do you want to know why? I was almost raped by 4 men and I needed someone to calm my nerves. I needed someone who loved me not someone who will throw daggers at me." I shouted back.

Her eyes widened. I knew she was sorry for accusing me. I wasn't going to give up though.

"I have kissed only one person in my entire life and I have done nothing or anything more than an innocent kiss." I said.

I grabbed my jacket and went out of the house.

"For your information, I am not going to La Push." I said before slamming the door and running out into the drizzle.

How can she accuse me so badly? Did she think that low of me? The Bella I knew would never do that. I wasn't crying. I was shaking though.

I didn't know where to go. I told her I won't be seeing Jake and I won't be seeing Jake. I sighed and continued walking.

I didn't pay attention to where I was going. Suddenly I heard a snap of twig. For the first time I looked around. I was in the middle of a place covered by trees.

Oh crap! I am in the forest. I don't know what I was going to do. I didn't know which way I came in or which way was out. For all I know, I was deep into the forest.

As soon I turned I came face to face with Dr. Cullen. My heart felt like it was going to pound out of me anytime. I was taking deep breaths to calm myself down.

"Easy. I won't harm you." He promised me. I already knew that. But still my heartbeat wouldn't slow down. My knees felt weak. I supported myself on a large tree trying to breathe normally.

It took me sometime to calm down.

"Sorry. I was already in panic. It didn't help you were standing behind" I said.

He chuckled. "Good thing others are not hunting today" he said.

"Why? Would that be a bad thing?" I asked.

"Yes. We try not to hunt humans." He wrapped an arm around my shoulders. I smiled and he smiled gently down at me. "But there is limit for us. We may slip if you push us off the limit."

"Oh!" I said.

"What are you doing in the middle of the forest at midnight?" he asked.

"I didn't see where I was going" I admitted.

"Ah!" he said and stood by me.

"What are you doing here, Dr. Cullen?" I asked.

"I was hunting. Please call me Carlisle" he said.

I smiled.

"Do you want me to accompany me to your home?" he asked so politely.

"I don't want to go there" I muttered.

"Do you want to come to my home?" he offered.

"No. No. I don't want to cause trouble. I will just go to my friend's house or something." I said as I shook my head.

"Can I accompany you there? I am not stalking, I just want to make sure you are safe." He said.

"No. I didn't think that. I am not going to go anywhere. Just going to wander around the town" I admitted.

"Do you want me to stay with you?" he asked yet again.

"If you don't mind you can. If you have work you can go" I said timidly.

I was really glad for his company. He told me about his past. I was awestruck how someone could be so compassionate.

"You have never drunk anyone's blood?" I asked awed.

"No" he said.

"Wow. You are really great." I said.

He just smiled at me.

I don't know how much time I spent nagging him with questions about him, his family, about vampires.
I became so tired that I could barely keep my eyes open.

"Why don't you spend the night at our place?" he asked.

"Why not?" I said as I swayed my feet. I was too tired to deny an offer. I lost my footing and fell down on my back.

He chuckled.

"Do you want me to carry you?" he asked.

"Will you turn into a bat?" I asked sleepily.

"No" he said and chuckled.

"Close your eyes" he said.

I did. Next thing I knew I was being laid in couch.

I sighed as I got comfortable without opening me eyes. I heard the door close. I was engulfed into a deep, dreamless sleep.
