Hi there! It's me again; I'm just going to thank you for your awesome reviews. I'm so happy to know that some people actually like my mad imaginings. Anyway, I know I take ages to update but it's really because it seems like I've always got to do something else but I promise, once I go on vacation, I'll update loads more.

All of the wonderful sweetness that is the twilight series does not belong to me

Chapter 9: Electric

Edward and I walked together to Biology. I was feeling proud of myself, almost smug, because of my self control. I was quite close to him as we walked. People, mostly girls, were staring at us as we passed them in the corridors. Their curious, sometimes hostile gazes made me feel uncomfortable. I wondered if Edward noticed.

I glanced up at him out of the corner of my eye and noticed him glancing down at me the same way. He chuckled quietly when I quickly looked away.

"Bella?" he asked after a moment, I turned to look at him, "Might I hold your bag for you? It looks heavy and even though you're so strong I thought perhaps…"

I handed him the bag. "Your silly Edward," I laughed.

He ran a hand through his hair causing a few strands to fall onto his forehead. I wanted to reach up and brush them away. The sudden need was shocking. What the hell Bella, I thought scolding myself.

"How old are you Edward?" I asked because I needed a distraction.

"Seventeen," He answered grinning, "How old are you?"

I considered my answer for a moment. I was really nearly 200 years old but my body had been frozen a week before my seventeenth birthday, although at this particular chapter in my long existence I was pretending to be seventeen. I went with that.

"I'm seventeen too," I said smoothly, "You seem older than seventeen though, or well, different from most seventeen year old boys."

He was different; he seemed to be from a different time. He was polite and gentlemanly and the way he spoke was so different from the way most young people spoke nowadays, actually it was different from the way young people spoke since the coming of the 21st century, even before that.

"You don't seem seventeen either," he laughed raising an eyebrow, "but then, you're full of surprises aren't you?"

It was a rhetorical question but I shrugged and answered, "Not usually."

He smirked. "Now, why do I find that hard to believe?"

By this time we were standing right in front of the biology lab. He held the door open for me and gestured for me to enter.

"Ladies first," he said smoothly winking at me.

Only a few students were already seated in the class, the others were loitering outside. Edward and I headed to our 'usual' table. Before I even put my hand out, he quickly pulled my chair out for me and slung my bag over its back in one swift motion. I had never seen a human move so fast.

I smiled my thanks and sat down, waiting till he was seated next to me to say, "Well aren't you being a gentleman today!?" in a jokingly surprised voice

"Is that so shocking?" Edward chuckled, "I like to think I'm usually a gentleman, especially to beautiful ladies like you."

So of course I got too flustered to say anything after that. It was a relief when a crowd of noisy students burst into the class room followed by an irate Mr. Banner.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to linger in the hall before my class!" the poor man yelled marching towards his desk.

For the first time I noticed a white sheet had been placed over the chalk board and Mr Banner was carrying a projector.

"Looks like we're watching a movie today," I said softly to Edward.

"Looks so, Taylor told me he had to watch one last week on sexual reproduction," Edward said excitedly, I raised my eyebrows at him.

"What?" He said defensively, "he said there was this creepy, little, cartoon man with a really deep voice telling them how everything works and that we should all be responsible and abstain from any sexual encounters, apparently it was priceless comedy."

I was trying to laugh silently; my hand was pressed over my mouth. I had never laughed so much in one day before, never.

"Alright class, we are going to watch a movie today on our current topic of cell reproduction." Mr Banner announced as he set up the projector.

"Oh, and I really wanted to see that creepy little man," Edward sighed with really disappointed look on his face. I had begun to giggle at him but then I noticed how appealing his lips look when he pouted them like that, so I had to start berating myself for thinking such thoughts.

"Now pay attention class," Mr Banner shouted, "I'm going to turn out the lights. Please be considerate and shut up while the movie is in progress, thank you."

A few sniggers were heard and then the room was plunged into darkness. Suddenly and unexpectedly I felt that strange electricity flowing through Edward and I like a current. I felt an odd urge to just reach out and touch him. I couldn't understand it.

I folded my arms and held them tight to my body so that they stayed put. I had been staring resolutely at my desk since Mr Banner turned off the lights, not bothering to pay any attention to the movie. I peeked up at Edward to see that he too had his arms tightly folded and was peering down at me. We both grinned sheepishly and looked away.

Obviously he felt this strange electricity too. I decided to ask Alice what it meant later. It was unlike anything I'd ever experienced. I glanced back at Edward to find him looking at me, I quickly averted my eyes only to glance back at him moments later.

After a few more times doing that I decided to give in to the impulse, the lesser one anyway, so I locked eyes with Edward and stayed gazing at him whilst he gazed at me. We stayed this way, just looking at each other until Mr Banner turned the lights back on an half an hour later.

During that time the electricity had not let up and even with the lights back on it had simply dwindled but hadn't diminished completely.

"We will continue this next week!" Mr Banner shouted over the chatter, "You're dismissed!"

It was only then that Edward and I looked away from each other. I was embarrassed again and judging from the tempting pink tinge in Edward's cheeks so was he.

"What class do you have next?" he asked after a few moments of silence.

"English," I answered simply, standing and swinging my bag over my shoulder. He did the same and followed me to the door.

"May I walk you to you next class Isabella?" He asked in his velvety smooth voice. I usually didn't like people to use my full name but if he used that voice…he could call me anything he wanted.

I turned to look at him and almost gasped. His eyes were smouldering…yes smouldering like dark green fire scorching my long lost soul and unbelievably…I felt warm.

"Yes," I breathed, "Yes you may."

Ok, so I know this chapter is pretty short but the next chapter is probably going to be longer than any of the ones I written so bear with me. Please review; pretty please tell me what you think! Oh and have any of you played the dress up Edward Cullen game on www. , it's awesome! My good friends Kadijah's fav part is that you can undress him, although she was quite disappointed that you can't take off his underwear…pervert.
