BELLA IS TURNING 18 FINALLY. HAHA

NOT MUCH I CAN SAY, YOU JUST HAVE TO READ IT YOURSELF.

AUTHORS NOTE: I DONT OWN TWILIGHT

Despite the recent events, Monday and Tuesday were sunny, which left me at school alone, people stared at me, I was the Cullen's only true friend, and word got around fast in Forks. Mike still hovered around me, but kept his distance whenever Edward was near.

Jessica tried to be a great friend, and Lauren seemed sympathetic, if only Edward was here to tell me what she really was thinking.

"Oh my god, you have to have a party!" Jessica was squealing with delight.

"No, I think I might keep it discreet." I said

"Don't be stupid, we can even set up the school gym." I almost toppled over when I heard Mike's voice behind me.

"Yes, it's your eighteenth birthday, it has to be special." Jessica was screaming with approval.

I just walked on, tomorrow would be my birthday, and Edward would finally be at school. I toyed with my new necklace, my thumb rubbing over the shining topaz.

"Oh my god! That is so pretty, where did you get it from?" Jessica was almost choking me to death.

"Edward gave it to me as my birthday present." I said, I was almost in heaven, dreaming of the next time I would see Edward.

"You are so lucky." Her face full of jealousy.

I just smiled and went to class.

I was awake, but my eyes were closed, as soon as I opened them, Edward would be next to me, I couldn't hear him, but I knew he was there. Slowly I opened my eyes, my vision was blurred by the sleep in my eyes. I rubbed them away and looked up.

Edward wasn't there.

"Edward?" I sounded crazy, like I was talking to myself.

Then I heard Charlie's voice downstairs.

"I don't know if Sleeping Beauty is going to get up, if she stays asleep any longer, she will be late." His voice could be heard faintly from downstairs.

"I will go and get her." It was Edward.

It was only then that I was conscience of the time, I tried to get out of bed to find a place to hide, but instead I stumbled on the quilt and landed on the floor with a huge thump.

"Bella? Are you okay?" Edward was concerned.

I only replied with laughter, I had gotten over the whole stumbling thing by now, but Edward hadn't.

He just smiled and helped me up. I looked at my arm and saw a round bruise already showing up.

"Can I be human for five minutes?" I asked him, that joke had been going on forever now.

I left and had a shower, my back was now tense, I had a dream of turning into a werewolf and hurting Edward. And I was still wondering who Colin was.

I went downstairs, Charlie was sitting at the kitchen table having a cup of coffee. He smiled up at me.

"Now I know I can't top what Edward gave you, but I'm trying…" he began.

He indicated at a key next to him.

"so I decided I am going to throw that piece of junk that you call a truck out and replace it with a newer car." His eyebrows were raised, wondering if it was a good present or not.

My squeal of delight showed that he got me a great present.

He threw the keys at me.

"If you delay any longer, you're going to be late for school." I went up to him and hugged him, I was so happy.

I walked outside, squeezing Edward's hand. Next to the old rejected truck was a brand new green Ute. I laughed, Charlie always seemed to get me a car that would also be useful for him.

Edward aimed for the driver's seat, I shook my head.

"No, it's my birthday present and my birthday, I want to drive it."

Reluctantly he agreed.

The drive to school was like gliding on air compared to my old truck.

"You know I just realized something…" I looked at Edward.

"…I am older than you now." Edward stared into my eyes when I finished talking, and then we both cracked up laughing.

I pulled into the remaining park, and we both got out of the car.

"No way!" I heard Jessica's voice, I turned around, and she was running at me.

"You got a new car? You are so lucky."

Then she got a present out of her bag, I unwrapped it. It was a photo frame with me and Jessica's face in it. It was of the prom night, I could tell because only Alice could put that much make-up on me and make it look good. And that was the only time I let her do that.

Edward just stayed quiet like he always did.

"Edward, I am sorry for your loss, how is your family?" Jess' attention was diverted to Edward.

"Thank you, we are coping with our loss in our own way." Then that was all of the conversation that we had because Jessica decided to walk off and talk to Lauren.

Edward's face was confused and twisted.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"Lauren is talking about a new student, he is mean to be really cute." Edward's face was straight, but I could tell by the sarcasm in his voice that he was having a private joke.

The thing with Edward is that now he has come to be around me and other humans, he has started to act like them, which makes people around me more comfortable.

"What's his name?" I asked.

"Um…I think its Colin."

I froze, and all of a sudden felt faint, so faint I started falling to the floor. But of course Edward caught me, and that was all I saw before I blacked out.

I woke up in an unfamiliar room with an unfamiliar smell. It smelt of antiseptic, like a hospital, but it was too small for a hospital. Instead it was the sick bay at school. And like right on cue, Edward walked in.

"Why did you have to bring me here, you know I don't like it here." Edward was almost wailing like a little child, which made me giggle.

I tried to sit up, but when I did, I felt nauseated and thought that it was best if lie down.

In the distance I heard a sweet and charming voice, "really miss, I am okay, it is just a small graze."

"Nonsense, it's bigger than a small graze, now walk into door, and I will be with you in a second."

The voice obviously did give up because moments later, it walked in.

Edward's back went stiff, his hand clenched the blanket making his knuckles go whiter than what they originally were.

"What's the matter?" I asked

"His smell is just too unbearable, I have to go, and I will be sitting outside okay?" he was whispering in my ear. And then he walked out the door.

I took a glance at the person that had just walked in, he was absolutely adorable, thin blonde hair was cast aside from his eyes, like a surfers look. Then his eyes were so green, I could stare into them for eternity, his lips were poised, which stretched out into a pleasant grin, like I was under a trance, I knew straight away, this was Colin.

"Hello, my name is Colin." His Australian accent was really strong, which made my heart beat just a little bit faster.

"Hi, um…I'm Bella." I replied.

"Thank god, at least there is one person in this school that doesn't just stare at the new kid." His remark made me laugh, I hope Edward wouldn't mind.

"Well, until you came, I was the new kid." This time I made him laugh.

Shit Bella, what are you doing, I should be hating, him and avoiding him not making him laugh. I started to mentally beat myself up which left an awkward silence.

My heart rate was so fast, I thought I would have a stroke. Surely Edward would notice.

"Because you're the only one that's actually had a full conversation with me, would you mind taking me on a tour of the school?"

"Um…okay." I was shocked, he was just so enchanting, I did whatever he told me to do.

Then the nurse walked in.

"I am glad to see your finally awake, Bella." she smiled, "can you get up?"

"Yes I can, should I leave now?"

"Of course you can, just take it easy."

I took one last glance at Colin, he had a cut on top of his left eye.

He smiled, his white teeth glittering in the sunlight.

And I left, automatically Edward wrapped his arms around me, and he kissed me on the lips.

"I have to tell you something." He whispered.

"About Colin?"

"Yes." He replied.

"Well let's not talk about it here."

"Okay."

OOH, THIS IS FUN.

COLIN'S VOICE IS SO ENCHANTING, BELLA WOULD SAY YES TO ANYTHING.

AND WHAT DOES EDWARD HAVE TO SAY TO BELLA.

YOUR JUST GONNA HAVE TO WAIT
