(EPOV)

It was thankfully the last class of the day. I watched in amusement as Gaia sat on the edge of her seat, tapping her foot impatiently. Why can't the stupid bell just hurry up and ring already? I heard her think. Much to her relief, the bell chose that moment to ring. She gathered her stuff quickly, and went to the door. I scooped up my stuff, and caught up with her. As she was walking I saw a boy catch up with her.

"Hey Gaia," I called. She turned around at the sound of her name, a scowl on her face.

"Ya?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to grab something to eat." I wanted to get to know her, and if that meant that I had to shove some food down my throat then so be it.

"Ed and I were actually about to go to Gray's Papaya"

"Mind if I join you," Gaia considered the question then looked at the boy next to her. He shrugged.

"Sure. Just follow us." I followed Gaia and her friend Ed to Gray's Papaya. It was a small restaurant with absolutely no atmosphere.

"Ok, we'll have two hotdogs with the works. What would you like Edward?" she asked turning to me.

"The same."

"OK, make that three hotdogs with the works," the guy she was talking to wrote it on a piece of paper and handed it to the cook. Man, this is not going to be fun. I thought to myself.

(EdPOV)

I sat there watching Gaia as she finished her hotdog. I had already finished mine, and Edward had only eaten half of his. I had been hoping to get Gaia alone, so I could ask her about her weekend, but I guess its good if she wants to make a few new friends. I just hope she doesn't fall for him like every other girl in this school. I thought to myself. He seems like a decent guy. Maybe he even likes skateboarding. I'm perfectly fine with him as long as he doesn't try to take Gaia. She's had enough trouble in her life already.

I looked away from Gaia, and noticed Edward staring at her intensely.

"So, Edward," I said taking his focus away from Gaia. "Where did your family move from?"

"Forks, Washington. My father got a better job here, so we decided to come to New York."

"Hm. So what's your favorite part of New York so far?"

"Probably the residents. I already met a few interesting people." he said, shooting Gaia an amused glance. Finally finished with her hotdog she glared at Edward then asked a question of her own.

"So how did you know how to find me yesterday?" she asked, keeping eye contact with him. He glanced at her then glanced at me. What was he going to say that I couldn't hear? I thought angrily. "Well?" she asked again. He sighed then began to speak.

"I was walking through Washington Park when I saw you. I was about to call out, when I noticed someone following you. You went around the corner, and when I caught up to you, I saw that freak attacking you. I'm just glad I got there before he could..." he stopped abruptly.

"What?" I demanded. "What are you two keeping from me?"

(Back to EPOV)

"He was about to bite me, Ed." Gaia said with a sigh. "He had me stuck, and he was about to bite me when Edward showed up." She looked down at the table with a frustrated look on her face. "I don't know why I couldn't handle him. It was only one guy," she mumbled to herself.

"Why are you frustrated that you couldn't fend off a guy almost twice your size? How did you think you were going to get away?" I asked. Gaia and Ed shared a loaded look. "OK. What am I missing?" I tried to read Gaia's mind, but it was blocked. Ed was wondering if Gaia was going to tell me, how much she was going to say, and what that said about her feelings towards me. Man this was frustrating.

"Please Gaia," I pleaded with her. "Remember, I said you could trust me." She looked into my eyes, searching for any hint of deception. Finally she sighed and looked down at the table again. I could hear her debating in her mind about what to tell me.

"Fine." she said. "Let's go to a more private place. You too Ed. I'm finally going to answer some of your questions."

Yay I got out two chapters in one day. I hope you guys enjoy this. Is Edward finally going to learn Gaia's secret? What did she not tell Ed before? My birthday is next Friday. My presents from you guys are reviews. Yay reviews. (Yes I realize that I'm acting a little hyper)
