Olla Peeps, SO sorry for the really long update, I just had A LOT of homework especially when I'm taking all three core science subjects (Chemistry, Physics and Biology) Yeah… if you're in my school, you would take all three. *sigh*

Anyway on with the chapter;

-Rihanna 'Hatin' on the club-

-Klaire POV-

I looked deeply in his piercing brown eyes and somehow, they reminded me of someone. They were absolutely gorgeous on him….snap out of it Klaire!

"Um, hello?" he waved at me, trying to get my attention. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at him. He was smirking at my reaction.

"What?" I asked, trying to sound innocent. It only made him laugh. I was flaming red on my cheeks so I did the only thing I could think of. I turn around and walked back to my house, adding a bit of a stomp along the way.

"Wait, I was just joking." I heard him said, and in a swift move he caught up to me and restrained me by my arm. I turned around and looked at him straight in the eye. At first, I was kinda angry at him but it all vanished in an instance, as if everytime I looked at him, I felt I was in another world.

"Sorry, I don't know you were sensitive?" he smirked. I snorted very unladylike and yanked back my arms.

"Look, I'm sorry." He said and sighed under his breath. I sighed.

"Look stranger I have to get going, my siblings are probably wondering my whereabouts." I said flatly and went on. He pulled me back by my arm and I think my body crashed on his masculine chest….now why did I just said masculine.

"Hey, I'm sorry for laughing at you, anyways lets….start over?" He said awkwardly and it sounded more like a question. I gave him a puzzled look.

"Start over, what are you talking about?" I asked bemused and placed my hands on my waist.

He looked stuttered for a while, trying to come up with an answer. I couldn't help but smile, he does look cute that way.

"Look….I'm Grayson." He stuttered and automatically held out his hand for a handshake. I twitched a smile and shook his hand. When I touched it, I felt a joint of electricity flowing through my body.

"Klaire, Klaire Swan." I introduced politely.

"Um….okay, I'm sorry cuz I scared you earlier, see I was wondering why someone like you would be out here alone, and it's dangerous." He said seriously. I chuckled lightly but I knew he was serious.

I studied him for a moment. Then, I had realized something. Something I should have realized earlier. His scent! This scent was not human-like. I think I froze for a moment without realizing that Grayson was still standing in front of me.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked in a worried tone. I abruptly snapped out and took a step back.

"I'm sorry, you just smell weird." I blurted out. Damn it! why did I say that! Now he's feeling offended, good job Klaire, you really got it this time. I mentally yelled at myself. He looked quizzically at me but then he smiled.

Realizing that I had gone for a long time, I looked at my watch and…holy shit! It's 9:30!

"Hey listen, I really need to go now, my mo-sister, probably waiting for me." I said.

"Okay then, I guessed I see you around?" he asked.

I smiled sweetly at him. "Sure." I said as I turned around and walked back to the house.

I took a deep breath before I turned the doorknob. I knew I had gone off time and, I about to get bombarded by my mom. I turned the knob and walked in, to find my mom sitting on the couch across the room with a leg on top of another looking intensively at me. Oh boy, I'm so screwed.

-Bella POV-

Klaire had been gone for an hour now, and I'm starting to get worried. The rest were probably doing their business elsewhere. I caught her scent nearby and sat on the couch opposite the door. I heard her taking a deep breath from outside the house – I quickly paste my 'you're so in trouble' face.

The door knob twisted slowly and in came Klaire – who looked like she knew what's coming for her. She went over to sit at the chair opposite me. I clear my throat and began.

"Where have you been Klaire?" I asked in a formal tone – hoping that she would tell me the truth. Whilst she took her time to come up with an excuse, I smelled her. She smelt weird actually. More like a wet dog just mustered themselves on her (Note that Bella didn't knew anything about the wolves in Forks, she only the ones in Makah).

"I'm sorry mom." Was all she said; I sighed and went over to her – despite the awful scent. I hugged her, to which she hugged back.

"You got us all worried sick Klaire – please don't do that again." I said hopefully. She nodded and smiled. "Now why don't you take a shower, you smelled like a dog." I added and scrunched my nose. Klaire blushed deeply and quickly went upstairs. I chuckled.

(The next day)

-Bella POV-

Whilst waiting for the sun to rise, I flipped through some late night shows to occupy my time. I glanced at the wall clock and it was 5:00 in the morning. Just then, I heard someone descending the stairs. I went to the stairs and looked up at my groggy-looking son, Jason – walking down the stairs whilst rubbing his eyes.

"You're up early." I said jokingly. Jason flashed a quick smile and went inside the kitchen. He must be up early to cook breakfast for the rest. He was always the one to do more responsibilities than his siblings – and he's the only one whom I allowed to even touch the stove besides Klaire.

I went into the kitchen to help him a bit. "Mind if I help you?" I asked.

"Sure momma." He said and yawned.

I went to the refrigerator and pulled out a packet of frozen pancakes and laid it on the table. Jason was heating the pan and applied a coat of oil on the surface. He grabbed 4 frozen pancakes from the packet and fried it in the pan. After a few minutes, he flipped the pancakes in mid-air and it landed with a loud splat.

I heard someone entering the kitchen – I turned and saw Mason walking – half awake – and sat on the chair. He crossed his arms on the table and laid his head on it. I took a seat next to him and massaged his head – doing circular motions around his temples. He liked it when I do that.

Jason placed the pancakes on a plate and smeared it with maple syrup and purposely slammed it slightly when he placed it in front of a peacefully sleeping Mason. Startled by the noise, Mason abruptly woke up and glared at Jason – who pretended not to care. His eyes soon fixed towards the steaming goodness of the pancakes. I rolled my eyes and heard Jason groaned in annoyance.

Soon after, the rest of the family came down fully dressed and ate their breakfast. Once they had finished, we went out to school.

I hitched a ride with Jason and Klaire and sat at the backseat. We had arrived at school and I looked around to find that it hadn't changed a bit. I missed this school and I can't believe I'm coming back. I doubted anyone would remember me here.

Whilst the others went to their respective classes, I went to the office and found a young woman picking her fingernails. Her attention snapped up when I cleared my throat. She gave me a fake smile and motioned me to sit down.

"It's okay, I'm Bella Swan and I'm here to take my schedule." I said politely. The woman popped a bubble gum and went through the drawers. She pulled out some documents and placed it on the table.

"Okay like, this is your school map, your time table – your locker and combinations are written there as well and your guide pamphlet." She shoved them at me. "Have a nice day." She added with a sickly fake smile. I smiled politely and went out.

Unknowingly, I stumbled upon someone. As I looked up, I met his very familiar golden eyes – gazed on my eyes. My eyes widened as he caressed my heart shaped face.

"Bella." His sweet velvet voice that I hadn't heard in a long time – I felt thousands of sparks in my heart; as they say, old flames rekindled. His masochistic figure enticed me.

"Edward."

I know you expected more from me and I honestly admit that this chapter was an epic fail! I'm sorry – it's just that this year, I'll be pretty busy and all of that; My next update would probably be sometime next week.

PS: I have posted the first chapter of my new fanfic 'Angel Hearts' so PLEASE check it out – my writing skills had somewhat improved at least that's what my friends said. And I really wanted you guys to watch it.

PSS: My second new fanfic 'Let me love you' will be premiered next month.
