We all had different classes after lunch, so we split ways and went to our next class. I had English, and I remembered that Rosalie and Emmett had Trigonometry, Alice had Art, Jasper had Chemistry, and Edward had Biology.
I sat through my English class, not even paying attention to the teacher. I already knew everything that we were going over today, heck; I knew what we would be going over for the next year!
I was relieved when the bell finally rang, and I walked down to my locker to grab my things for my next class. My locker door was open, so I didn't realize it when someone ran into it until it was too late.
Their books fell to the ground and I quickly leaned down to help them pick them up. I looked up to see Isabella Swan.
"Are you okay?" I asked as we finished gathering her things and stood up.
"Umm… yeah." She said, rubbing her head. "I should have been watching where I was going." She looked up then, and realized who she was talking to.
"Oh, I'm sorry." She said, worry clear on her face.
"It's fine." I said, smiling to reassure her. "You're Isabella, right?"
"Just Bella." She replied. "But yeah. That's me."
"Sarah Cullen." I said, closing my locker. "Nice to meet you."
"Thanks." She said, but acting a little shyer.
"You seem to be getting a lot of attention." I said as we turned to walk down the hallway.
"Yeah. It's embarrassing." She said, looking down at her feet.
"I know how you feel." I said, recalling our move here two years ago.
Suddenly the bell rang. "Well, I guess that's our signal to part ways." I say with a chuckle. "Do you need help finding your class?"
"No thank you, I think I can find it." Bella says with a smile. Then her expression becomes troubled. "Sarah?" She asks.
"Yes?" I reply, confused.
"Is Edward okay? He was acting weird during Biology." Bella infers.
My eyebrows wrinkle. What was wrong with Edward? "I hope so." I say, replying to Bella. "You know," I say, coming up with a quick lie. "He did say he felt a little sick at lunch. I'll have to check up on him. Don't worry. I'll make sure that he's okay."
"Okay." Bella reply's shyly, starting to turn away.
"If you need any help, just ask, okay?" I say.
"Okay." She says, turning around and smiling, before walking away.
No sooner had she turned was I walking briskly down the hallway to find Edward.

I ignored the bell that rang for class to start and made my way out into the parking lot. I'd figured that Edward would find his way out there eventually.
I saw him practically running at a human pace out to his car.
Stop right there. I thought at him. We need to talk.
He suddenly turned around, an angry expression on his face. I stop.
"What's going on, Edward?" I ask, ignoring my fear and continuing towards him.
He turns back towards his car and angrily pounds on the hood, nearly leaving a dent. "She's my singer, Sarah." He said, not moving from his position leaned against the hood.
"Bella?" I say. "You're singer?" I suddenly realize that Bella was the one who just bumped into me and back away from Edward, not wanting to tempt him.
"Yes, Sarah. I don't know what to do!" He said, turning to face me, a tortured expression on his face.
"She said that you were acting weird in Biology. What happened?" I ask.
"I had the only open chair in the class, so she sat with me. I thought that everything would be fine, but when the fan blew her scent at me…" He stops, probably remembering Bella's scent.
'Edward." I say, snapping him out of his thoughts. "You know that I can't possibly understand how you feel because I haven't met my singer yet, but apparently you're stronger than it, because you made it through that class." I say, reassuring him.
"But I spent every moment thinking about how I would kill her, Sarah." Edward said; the tortured expression still on his face. "I don't know if I can do that again."
"What do you think you should do?" I ask.
"I need to leave." He says with a sudden realization.
"Where would you go, Edward?"
"I don't know. Somewhere where I could prepare myself for what is going to eventually happen." He says, sighing. "I'll have to get near her again if I come back to school."
"Go to Denali." I say. "Stay with Tanya and Kate. They'll support you. Then, when you think that you're ready, you can come back."
"You're right." He said. "Thank you Sarah." He smiles.
"Don't stay gone too long, big brother." I say. "We'll miss you. And Bella will probably think that you completely hate her."
He frowns. "I know."
"Don't worry." I say, walking forward to gingerly touch his arm. "You'll figure it out."
"Have I ever told you that you're a good little sister?" Edward asks, smiling down at me.
"Yes, but tell me again. I like to hear it." I say sarcastically.
"You are the most wonderful, helpful, thoughtful little sister that anyone could ask for, Sarah." Edward says, chuckling.
"Better than Alice?" I ask, shocked.
"Sometimes." Edward says.
I roll my eyes, and we both laugh. Edward sighs.
"I need to go." He says, looking at his car.
"Okay." I say, turning to look at the school. "I need to get back to class."
"Not that you want to." Edward says, opening his car door.
I sigh. "But unfortunately I have to." I say, turning back to Edward, who is starting his car. He shuts his door and puts his car into reverse.
Be careful. I think at him. He nods his head from inside the car.
I watch him until he disappears from sight, then turn back towards the school and walk to my next class, which I diligently sit through, even though all I can think about is Edward and Bella.
