Chapter 8:

My first class was Calculus; I had it with Alice who was jumping up and down on seeing me. I sat next to her. "So did he notice me?" "He has his doubts; he does not know whether to be sad or happy." "Oh.", Was all I could say. My next period was with Leah. We had English together, but it passed uneventful, since the teacher was focusing on us. Every time we tried to talk he would ask a question in hopes we get caught red handed. "What a jerk!" said Leah as soon as the bell rand and I could not agree more? I had History all to myself, so nothing happened besides the ogling and the daggers I received from the boys and girls, respectively.

Lunch came and Alice texted me, inviting me to sit with her at Lunch. When I entered the room, I found the Cullens separated. Alice and Jasper in one table, while Rosalie, Emmet, and Edward by themselves. Alice waved to me to join them, while Rosalie kept shooting death daggers to me. I momentarily lifted my shield to know what was he thinking, when he suddenly jumped up. He had heard me. I could tell he was surprised, astonished, and hurt. I thought to him telling him to sit and I shall explain.

We sat at different tables. "How?" he thought as soon as I sat down. "Practice." "Shield?" "Yes." "Hmm." I ended the one-word conversation; and from the corner of my eye, I noticed him frown. This glorious face should never frown and it was my fault. I looked up and Jasper smiled at me. "How are you Bella?" he asked me. I just smiled, trying to assure him that I was fine, but he was not fooled. "You know he is only shocked, right?" "I cannot blame him Jasper; after all it was me who is the monster." Edward looked up at me as if I had hit him in the gut. I lifted my shield once again and thought to him: "Do not you dare argue with me."

A/N: I hope you have enjoyed it. I know it is too short, but I promise you it gets better.
