After a few more minutes, we arrive at the restaurant I was supposed to meet the girls, who were walking out. Bella spots me and sighs in relief.

"Ana! There you are. Where were you? We left you messages" Bella says, hugging me.

"We waited for you, but we got hungry, so we…." Angela trails off, spotting Edward behind me.

"Uh, I'm sorry I kept Ana from dinner. We just ran into each other and got talking" he says, smiling.

"No, we totally understand" Jessica says, smiling back, seemingly eager to play matchmaker, "I mean, that happens, right?"

"Um, we were…"

"Yeah! We were just leaving" Jessica finishes for Bella, "Ana, if you wanna…."

"Uh, I think I should get Ana something to eat" Edward spoke up, giving me a shy smile, "If you'd like. I'll drive you home myself."

"That's so thoughtful" Angela murmured, sounding wistful, as she exchanges a sly smile with Bella and Jessica.

"Yeah. I should eat something" I nod.

"Yeah. So we'll see you tomorrow. I mean, Bella will see you at home. You know, unless Edward wants to take you to a hotel and-" Jessica gets cut off by me and Bella hitting her. "What?" Edward's mouths lifts up in a slight smirk at Jessica's insinuation.

"Oh, uh, here Bella. The book you wanted" I say, handing her the bag.

"Thanks" she says, taking it, before shoving me towards Edward, who saves me from falling flat on my face. The three girls giggle as the leave us alone.

~Time Skip!~

"Alright, one mushroom ravioli" the gothic waitress says, putting my plate in front of me. I thank her with a small smile. She, along with most of the women in the restaurant, liked to stare at Edward and tried to flirt with him.

"So, you're sure there isn't anything I can get for you?" She asks, with a slightly flirty smile.

"No, no thank you" he replies, not taking his eyes off me for some reason.

"Let me know" she says, before walking away, taking occasional glances at him.

"You're really not going to eat?" I ask, picking up my fork.

"No. I'm on a special diet" He says with a chuckle. Ha ha, very funny.

"You've gotta give me some answers" I tell him, before taking a bite of my food.

"Yes, no. To get to the other side. 1.77245-"

"I already know what the square root of pi is. Kid genius, remember? I want to know the truth" I say, a bit annoyed, but also amused by his answer, "How did you know where I was?"

"I didn't" he denies.

"Ok, goodbye" I say, getting up, but he grabs my arm, so i sit back down, awaiting some answers, even though I already know most of them. "...You were stalking me, weren't you?"

"...I feel very protective of you" He answers, reluctantly.

"So that's a yes" I smirk at him.

"I was keeping a distance unless you needed my help, and when I heard what those lowlifes were thinking-"

"You heard what they were thinking?" I question. Ally said something about vampires having special powers. Maybe his is reading minds….Wait….DOES HE FREAKIN' KNOW WHAT I'M THINKING?! IS HE A MIND STALKING LIKE ZERACHIEL?!

*WHAT?! I AM NOT A MIND STAKER!*

*Yes you are. You just proved my point. Now be a good boy and go home.* He just grumbles in reply.

"I can read every mind in this room. Apart from yours" Edward replies. Phew. I was worried for a minute. Then he starts to point at people in the room, discreetly, "Money, sex, money, sex, cat. And you? Nothing. It's very frustrating."

"...Is there something wrong with me?" I ask, confused. Edward chuckles.

"See, I tell you I read minds, and you ask if there's something wrong with you" He says, finding it amusing.

"Kay. Well, in light of this newfound evidence, I have come up with my own theories. It's down to two things. First is mutant."

"No."

"Ok then. I know what you are~" I sing quietly. He looks at me a bit worried and uncomfortable, "I mean, I've always been interested in the supernatural. Ok, not really, but I watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer too much."

"...And?"

"You're a vampire. You should have known I'd figure it out at some point. What part of kid genius do you not understand?" I ask him, raising an eyebrow.

"I was kind of hoping I'd be on the other side of the country before you found out. But. I don't have the...strength, to stay away from you anymore" He explains to me. Aw. That's kinda sweet.

"Then don't" I tell him, shrugging my shoulders, to which he smiles slightly.
