The bell rings, signifying the end of fifth period. And the beginning of lunch. Great. The most chaotic time of day. Where all of us were in one room… together. I'm surprised the cafeteria didn't go up in flames already. I walk alongside Alice to the cafeteria, who is going off about what happened in her biology class. Apparently, Mike Newton, the antisocial kid, laughed about nothing in particular in the middle of checking this blood type, causing a boy named Eric to jump and create a huge cut in his finger. Delightful. As she goes off about other random things, I nod and smile politely in the right places. While we eat, Edward tells me things. Some things are just about how he wishes he could see the world, but occasionally, I catch a bit of information that lets me know more about him. I hang onto those tiny bits and remember them.
The end of the day comes along and I return home. I open the door and return home to my mother's delicious smelling cooking. I take a deep breathe and smile. I drop my bag to the ground and walk to the kitchen to get a glass of water. My mother spots me and says, "Bella! Welcome home honey. How was school?" I never answered ever since I went mute, but she always asked. I just smiled. My mother smiled at me but I could see the pain and sadness in her eyes. I haven't talked since I was twelve, but she continued to try. But I never spoke, and I hated to see that pain in her. I knew I was hurting her.
I got some homework done and ate dinner, then took a shower and went to sleep. I prayed before I snuggled between my covers, praying that I wouldn't have the nightmares again. My body went to sleep, but my minds as restless. It kept replaying that day over and over. I got up, breathing hard and tears dripping onto the blankets. Why did it happen to me? I look over at my clock and see that it is only 2:00 in the morning. I won't be able to go back to sleep. I sigh.
I spend the rest of my time coming up with stories in my head. I like doing that. Sometimes I write my ideas down on paper, but they don't turn out exactly as I want them to. Besides, who's going to read them? My stories are better off in my head.
The next morning, I get up and sluggishly get dressed. I brush my teeth, eat breakfast, and head off to school. The day drags on, and I find my thoughts constantly drifting. I occasionally even forget what class I am in. I realize my thoughts keep drifting to Edward. Edward… It is difficult to explain our relationship. I may have a crush on him, but he doesn't know a thing about me. I wonder if he considers me a friend. I mean, he tells me everything and comes to me when he needs comfort. But… he doesn't know me. The bell suddenly rings, signifying the end of the day.
I go back home, and repeat the entire cycle again. My life is just a circle. It doesn't go anywhere. I am still looking for someone who will love me and put meaning into my life. Chang my life from this circle.
AN: I hope you liked it! And should I do Edward's point of view? Let me know! Thanks! :)
