From the flash back

The agony and dizziness left me when I was in Edward's arms. I signed in relief when I knew for sure that today we were done with shopping for school.

"That wasn't so bad now was it?" He kissed my cheek, causing my skin to turn red underneath his lips. He smiled.

"Sure…whatever you say Edward." I leaned my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes….soon falling asleep in his safe arms.

I opened my eyes feeling Edward's cold marble lips kiss my forehead. It was so much more comforting and easier to wake up to a kiss every morning than an annoying alarm clock. I smiled at his beautiful face and watched as his mouth opened to say something.

"Are you ready for your first day of school Bella?" I could tell that Edward was excited to see me wear my first new outfit for school that I set aside for this morning. I wouldn't let him, Alice or anyone else for that matter see me in my new clothes until I wore them.

"Yes…are you?" I looked at his eyes and saw that they where brighter than last night when I went to sleep.

"I needed to; I'm sorry I left you but I had to be ready for today." He knew exactly what I was thinking about.

"I understand, now….?"

"Um, are you ready for a moment to be….a human?" He asked.

"Yeah not that I don't have enough of those stupid human moments! But I will be right back!" I grabbed the folded clothes on my dresser and my bag of toiletries and rushed to the bathroom to take a shower and brush my teeth.

When I felt that my body was as clean and as warm as it could be I stepped out of the bathtub. But before I got out I realized I spilled a puddle of my strawberry shampoo off the edge of the tub and slipped when I stepped in it.

My body crashed to the floor and I could hear Edward panickly knocking on the door. "Bella! Are you alright, I'm coming in." The knocking stopped and so did my heart.

"NO! Edward, I'm fine! I just slipped. You don't need to come in; I'll be out in a sec." Edward never left the door because when I opened it his face and mine touched.

"Hello, where did you get hurt? Show me Bella." He talked very fast not taking any breathes between.

"Edward, I'm fine. Oouch!" He touched my arm where I hit in on the tub trying to catch myself. Maybe that's why I was never good at baseball!

"I thought so!...Bella, can you ever go through a day without hurting yourself?" He examined the bruise. I smiled and replied.

"I guess not." He looked at me and then a smile crossed his face.

"Bella you look amazing! Are those the pants I picked out?" I made sure I wore something Alice and Edward picked out so there wouldn't be any "problems".

"Yes…and…." Alice appeared from Behind Edward.

"And, that is the blue blouse I picked out for you! You do look amazing!" Alice pushed Edward aside and through her arms around me. "Get back in that bathroom right now!" She said after seeing I didn't have any make-up on.

"Alice I don't need make-up….do I have to ware it?" The long and boring time that it took Alice always made my butt fall asleep when I had to wait for her to be finished.

"She's right Alice. She's much too beautiful to need make-up." Edward said as he slightly pushed Alice out of his way to get to me." Alice scowled at him and then smiled.

"Every girl needs make-up, come on Bella, I promise I won't do everything to you this time. Maybe just some blush and…"

"No! No, blush." Edward touched my cheeks with the back of his hand, and that did the trick….I didn't need blush. "She doesn't need any blush, you can put anything on her but blush." Edward said.

I got into the bathroom and allowed Alice to put Mascara, eye shadow (that was a few shades lighter than my blouse) and lip gloss on….but that was it.

I was then carried by Edward down to the kitchen where he had pancakes already made for me. I sat down next to him and eat quickly knowing that Alice had already put us behind schedule.

Once I had shoved all that I could down my throat Edward handed me a new rain coat that he had bought for me at a very expensive shop especially just for rain coats. It was blue and quite when my arms brushed when I put it on which made me happy that I wouldn't be drawing any more attention to myself.

I put my jacket on quietly and made for the door before Edward grabbed my hand.

"Bella, your backpack?" Edward asked smiling, I had forgotten just about everything when my mind was swarming with unimaginable things. I grabbed my backpack and questionably looked around for Alice.

"What happened to Alice?" I asked.

"Right here." I jumped and grabbed for Edward hand, the cold flesh tickling my skin. She appeared out of no where right in front of my face. Edward laughed and walked me out to his car.

The ride to school went by fast and like a blur, I couldn't remember any of it. We entered the school parking lot just before the big rush of cars did.

Edward parked right next to Rosalie's red convertible and came around to the passenger seat to help me out not letting me hit the floor when I tripped on the seat belt that was wrapped around my ankle.

Edward grabbed my hand and walked me around the school for a few minutes trying to kill some time. 10 minutes before the first bell was supposed to ring Edward pulled out a small sheet of paper.

"It's your schedule. I'm sorry that we couldn't have every single class together but I knew how much you hated P.E so I made sure they gave you health for this quarter and then I might be able to pull some strings at the front office." Edward winked at me and I began to smile. Every class besides the first class with Edward, life was going to be so much easier and better with Edward around every minute of school.

"Thank you Edward…that was really sweet. Would you like to walk me to health?"

"Yes I would but only if you stand really close and don't leave me for…." I began to feel confused but once I heard the same tone of Mike's voice I knew what he meant.

"I promise I will make it quick." I whispered in his superman ears.

"Hey, Edward." Mike said in a rude way. "Who's the new girl?" Mike said sounding happy but annoyed that "she" was with Edward. I turned around and watched as Mikes eyes grew wider and wider of disbelief. His cheeks went rosy and his eyes began to water; was he ok?

He began to smile and then frowned again when Edward leaned over me and watched Mike carefully.

"Bella…is that you….NO!" He walked up closer to me and wrapped me up in his arms in a tight hug. Edward growled slightly but loud enough for Mike to get the picture. Mike released me and allowed me to talk.

"Yeah it's me, Edward and his family took me school shopping and got a little carried away." Mike rolled his eyes and then looked back onto me completely ignoring Edward.

"You look so amazing Bella!" Mike said.

"Ok, this thing is now officially over! Goodbye Mike!" Edward grabbed my hand politely and wrapped his arms tightly around my waist. "Are you ready to go to class now Bella?" Edward asked a little more calmly now that he was away from Mike.

"Yes but only if you keep me close to you and don't let anything come between us so we can spend as much time together before class starts." I tried to flirt a little but once the words left my mouth I felt ashamed that I said it and felt a little stupid. Edward smiled and drew us closer to each other.

"I would be happy to." He said as he bent over to my cheek and kissed it lightly. I smiled as fallowed him as he walked me to health.

Today was a cloudy day but thankfully the clouds from what I could tell held no rain. But to tell the truth I was getting use to the rain and the cloudy weather and the lack of sun here in Forks. I became happy every morning when I saw the dark green trees and the green grass in the front yard; heck…everything was green here.

Right before Edward opened the door to the health room Alice appeared and took my arm and pulled me from Edward softly.

"Why can't we ever have the same first class together?" Alice wined. "Why do I have to just sit next to that weird Newton kid all class and listen to him talk about you! It's not fair Edward!" She looked over at Edward who was smiling.

"I'm sorry Alice but I need someone to listen to what he says in the morning. He's always still mushy about Bella then and I have to hear everything he says." His eyes became slightly darker as he thought about Mike's thoughts.

"But why can't you listen to him! He's really annoying and never shuts up!" Alice looked at Edward trying to hear his quite thoughts almost as much as I was. We both could tell that he was thinking of something but we were shut out of his world.

"Alice please, I need you to do this for me." Edward pleaded.

"……but…fine! But next quarter I don't want him! Have someone else do it for you!"

"Thank you Alice, I need to get Bella to class now." He took me back into his grasp and walked me into the class room. We walked inside and Edward sat me down in one of the desks in the middle rows and walked up to the teacher who was sitting at his desk.

Edward said a few words to the teacher and then walked back to the desk that I was sitting in. "Will you be alright if I leave now?" He asked.

"Yes I think I will be just fine." I nodded and kissed Edward back when he kissed me and watched him in slow motion leave the class room.

I sat waiting for class to start, a few minutes pasted before everyone started filling the seats around me and making noises.

Before my eyes a tall handsome boy with blonde hair and blue eyes sat down in the very seat next to me. His body was well built and he looked very strong but his body wasn't too large to swallow the kids around him up. His eyes were a beautiful blue green color and where a slight to small for his face.

He sat down and the large group of people surrounding him finally took their own seats. Before taking out his notebook he noticed me looking at him. He smiled at me and I felt something on my cheeks burn. Maybe it was the fire boiling from underneath my skin.

I looked down at the floor but still saw his feet turn to me and someone from his direction spoke. I didn't want to talk to him; every inch that he moved brought two more sets of glaring eyes my direction.

"Hi, my name's Jay. You're…Bella right?" I looked up and saw that it was the hot hunky boy talking to me…and how did he know to call me Bella if I hadn't even seen him before. And how in the world did he become so popular his first day at Forks? My cheeks began to flare even more and my eyes darted away from his stare.

"Yeah, are you new here?" I asked dumbly and then he laughed; a laugh that sounded nothing as great as Edward's but still nice to listen to. Edward flashed into my mind; everything about him was absolutely perfect and my thoughts were full of him and only him.

"No, I've lived in Forks my whole life. I saw you around a few times last year but never really got the chance to introduce myself." How could I miss this guy? I thought quietly to myself; thinking and trying to imagine myself seeing Jay before. But now my mind only drew blanks.

"Oh, wow you've lived here your whole life! That must be fun!" I said sarcastically. He laughed again and rolled his eyes at the fact that Forks was the most interesting place to live.

"Oh yes…Forks has been the most fun place to live that any one could ever imagine." Jay laughed.

"I bet it has. Isn't it weird how small Forks is and how small this high school is but we have never actually met?" I asked Jay.

"Yeah…it is." Before either of us could say anything else class started and we both turned to face the teacher who was teaching the class.

The class was released and Edward was at my side right after the bell rang. He looked stressed out and happy to see me; how I could tell no one would ever know. Edward picked me up and spun me around hugging me tightly.

"I missed you." Edward whispered in my ear. I guess I should've tried to train him before school started so he wasn't so tempted to see me every moment in the day. That's what the summer was all about not to long ago.

"I missed you too Edward, how are you going to stand being away from me every morning?" He thought about it for a moment and then started walking out of the health room and to our next class; calculus 2.

The next 3 classes went by quicker than I thought. I could tell that Edward was focused on something throughout every class and I tried very hard to concentrate on each class but…the thought of him sitting next to me drove me crazy.

Lunch came to soon right after Biology and Edward walked me hand in hand to the lunch table that sat us Alice and Jasper. I went through the lunch line with Edward and then we took a seat.

"How has your day been Bella?" Alice chirped happily. He untouched pizza was thrown away almost instantly after she bought it.

"Fine, but today in health I met someone new." Three sets of gold eyes stared at me suddenly.

"Who did you met?" Jasper finally asked after none of the others would.

"His name is…" I began

"It was Jay Calander." Edward finished. Alice's mouth dropped and Jasper's did as well.

"What's wrong with him?" I asked. He seemed very nice when I talked to him earlier and I was positive he wasn't in any harm to me.

"You haven't heard of Thomas Calander before?" Alice stared at me in disbelief. When I looked over to Edward again, his eyes where sad and his face was paler than normal. My heart began to sink and my head went dizzy. What had I done to Edward? I shook my head to answer Alice's question. I knew if I tried to talk I would choke and make a fool out of myself.

"Jay Calander is Thomas Calander's son. They are ancient…Wizards." Alice spoke the word so quietly that I had to read her lips, and I didn't believe what I saw at all.

I started at the three of the in shook. What where they talking about? And I thought that my fairytale book was just about finished and close to the happily ever after. But now Wizards? And why would Edward be so upset about this?

The room began to spin even more and my head started to throb with pain, then suddenly, everything went black.
