Jrfan81 – yes… thank you… whoever that is…

Brunette girl – it's before your Worthless time it's ok… I understand…

Jrfan81 – and without further comment here's the chapter.

Brunette girl – MOO! Ha there's a further comment

Jrfan81 - *walks away*

I stared at him in disbelief. One: he was real, two: he was my FREAKING lab partner and three: he was staring at me like I was unstable. I don't know why he was staring me like that but it made me uncomfortable. I blushed and looked down. I felt more than heard him move across the room to sit next to me. I quickly let my hair fall down between us to create a dark shade. He made me nervous. Was it because of the thing that everyone was telling me was a dream? I looked at my wrist and everything about the "dream" came back to me. He tried to kill me or at least in this "dream" he did. The teacher told us to get started and I realized I hadn't been listening to him while he was telling us what to do.

"Hello Bella," he said and his voice was like velvet, soft and comforting. But wait that can't be right, he's supposed to be evil or something. I didn't respond to him and just continued to stare at my wrist. I heard him moving some things around. "Ladies first?" he offered and my head snapped up to give him a confused look.

"What are we doing?" I asked and I didn't just mean the class.

"We're looking at onion root cells and identifying the stages of mitosis," he told me giving me a crooked smile. My breath stopped, he had me dazzled like there's no tomorrow. "Breathe Bella," he told me and I gulped in some air then realized that he wasn't as bad as in the "dream" so far anyways.

"Uh, ok," I said lamely. I took the microscope and looked into it. "Prophase," I said and he smiled again.

"Mind if I check?" he asked and I shrugged pushing it over to him. He agreed and put the next slide in.

"Anaphase," he said.

"Mind if I check?" I mocked and he too shrugged pushing the microscope towards me with a smile on his gorgeous face.

"Anaphase," I agreed lamely. We kept going until we were finished, long before anyone else. And just as I thought that I could go back to pondering my "dream" Edward and this one, he started the interrogation.

"So do you like it here?" he asked and I looked up at him confused.

"What?" I asked.

"I asked if you liked it here," he repeated and I bit my lip.

"I don't like the rain. Any cold wet things. Forks is all of that," I replied and he nodded.

"Then why not go back to Phoenix?" he asked carefully obviously not wanting to upset me.

"And go back to where I have no one? Plus that would take money I can't spare," I told him and he nodded. "I do have to go back eventually to pack up my mom's house but for now this is where I'll be."

"Well, I don't want to sound like every guy in Forks high school, but, I am very glad that you are staying," he told me and I couldn't help the small smile that graced my face. I looked down to hide the small blush at his words. I glanced back up at him again and frowned at how much he looked like my "dream" Edward, the only different was his eyes. Instead of them being black they were a golden color.

"Have we met before?" I asked and he frowned.

"No we haven't," he told me and I shook my head.

"I just have this image in my head of you except your eyes they were black and I know you probably think I'm crazy but something is telling my we've met before," I rambled and he shook his head.

"You're not crazy Bella, but I do think I would remember meeting you. You're more interesting than any of the girls around here," he said and I blushed. This caused him to smile.

"Thanks, I think," I said looking away. The bell rang and I stood up picking up my bag. "It was really nice to meet you Edward," I told him.

"You too, Bella, and I'm sorry" he said before walking out of the class room. I smiled slightly confused at his apology and followed him out with Mike trailing behind me.

"So you and Cullen looked cozy," Mike commented and I shook my head.

"I just met him," I told him as I made my way to the gym. "I hardly know him," I added and Mike nodded. Soon we were at the gym and we headed off in different directions.

Gym was ok, only because I didn't have to participate until tomorrow when I had appropriate clothing. I sat and watched the others play basketball and volleyball. Class passed fairly quickly and soon it was time to head home. I made my way to my car but stopped before getting in. I heard someone call my name and I turned to see Alice skipping towards me with Edward slowly following behind. He had an apologetic look on his face. "BELLA! How was your first day?" She asked excitedly.

"It was ok, I guess. It's just school," I told her, shrugging.

"We're going to have to get together outside of school again. I had fun and I know we'll have fun the next time," Alice said bouncing and I fought back a snicker. She was one excited pixie.

"Sure Alice, that would be fun," I told Alice and she grinned.

"See you tomorrow Bella!" she said before dancing back to the others who were standing next to a beautiful silver Volvo.

"I'm really sorry about her," a velvet voice said and I looked up to see Edward standing next to me.

"Alice?" I asked and he nodded. "It's ok. But I think that girl has ADHD," I commented and he chuckled.

"You know I might actually agree with you," he told me and I grinned at that.

"Well, I better go. I have dinner to make and I have to do my homework," I said not wanting to go. There was something about Edward that made me want to talk to him all day. As much as I wanted to push the Cullen's away they kept pulling me in.

"Yeah, I shouldn't keep you any longer," he said and I couldn't help but notice how he spoke like he was from a different time.

"See you tomorrow Edward," I said climbing into my truck.

"Oh, Bella?" Edward said.

"Yes?"

"Be safe. Please," he said with a serious look on his face.

"I will," I replied. Then he smiled at me and went to his car. I sat there for a couple of minutes trying to decode what that comment could possibly mean. When I decided that it wasn't worth my time to figure him out, I started my truck and drove home.

I made a simple dinner and did whatever homework I had. When it was a decent time to go to bed, I went to take a quick a shower. After I got out and was dressed for bed, I lay down. My mind traveled back to Edward's last comment. Be safe. What did he mean by that? Did he know something I didn't? While I was thinking about him, I closed my eyes, drifting off to sleep.

Brunette girl: well… I told ya we tweaked it… hope you liked it…

Jrfan81: yes we hoped you liked it.

Brunette girl: and if we don't kill each other tomorrow we might have a special treat for you… and I said IF. No guarantees though
