Hello! Thank you all for the wonderful reviews. I would like you all to know that for the most part, unless you would like me to, or ask me to, I don't really reply to reviews. If there is a question about the story that won't be questioned in further chapters, I will answer it. But if it will be answered, then you will get your answer through the chapters. I do reply to PMs all the time. So, if you want me to reply to reviews, just tell me and I'll reply to them!

Also, someone asked me why, if i had up to chapter 7 (now 9) why I didn't post it, it's because, they're not edited and I want to make them longer. I usually post every night (as long as I have the chapters) from around 7:00 to 9:00. If I don't post for about a week, I might have forgotten, so just PM to remind me. But don't worry, there are A LOT more chapters of this story to come.

Enjoy!

CHAPTER SAN

I went back to the library and did all of my homework for the day. I figured since I wouldn't be doing it during lunch that I should get it over with now. I was just finished when my dad came in and sat next to me, "Hey Anthony."

"Hey. What's up?"

"I hear that you're finally deciding to come to lunch today."

"What did I say about listening on my thoughts?"

"I wasn't listening on your thoughts, I was listening on Abigail's"

I looked at him in shock, "Dad, it's her mind, give her some privacy."

"I only listened in for a moment. I swear. I just wanted to tell you that Alice is overly excited that you are sitting with us today. I am just giving you a fair warning."

"Um…thanks…" I was a little confused, Alice is always like that. I could tell that he was hiding something from me but I didn't push it.

He got up, "I'm just going to put some things in my locker, I'll see you next period at lunch though."

I looked around, there were some other people in the library, "Bye…Edward."

He laughed, "Bye Anthony."

He walked away from me but before he turned the corner he said, "Oh, and by the way, she thinks that you're handsome."

I sat there in shock. Abigail Smith, the most beautiful girl in the entire world, thought that I, Anthony Carl Masen- Cullen, was handsome.

Wow.

Just wow. I mean sure, people told me that I was attractive, but it felt different if she thought it. It didn't really matter to me what everyone else thought. But what she thought, that definitely mattered. Well, lunch couldn't come faster, that's for sure.

Once the bell rang I made my way over to the cafeteria. My family was sitting at a table in the back corner of the room. I looked and a few tables over, Abigail was sitting with two of her friends whose names I did not know. Abigail wasn't very popular. She wasn't unpopular either though. She only had a few friends, but everyone was nice and friendly to her.

I looked between the two tables. My mom had already spotted me and smiled. I smiled back at her. Abigail was into a conversation with her two friends. She was smiling and laughing with them. She looked so happy. I looked back and forth between the two tables and weighed my options.

If I sat with my family, Abigail might notice and never talk to me again. She would probably hate me forever and think that I hated her. And she would probably be offended and think that I was rude.

But maybe she would understand that I would want to sit with my family, maybe she would respect me more for it. Or maybe she would hate me for it? Sigh.

But what if I sat with Abigail? I would get to be the one to make her laugh and smile, and I would get to know her friends. I could be a little more part of her life. She would be happy that I remembered her and then we could talk more. But maybe she didn't actually want me to sit next to her, maybe she just wanted to say hi and go on with the rest of her life.

And then there was the fact of my entire family knowing that I befriended a human. I would never hear the end of it from any of them. Mom would be over happy for me. Alice would already be planning a shopping trip. My dad already knew, so no big deal there. And Emmett and Jasper would never let me live it down.

And my dad already told me how excited everyone was that I was coming to lunch today. I didn't want to let them down or make them feel bad. But Abigail also looked pretty happy that I was coming to lunch today…Ugh, why must this be so complicated?

So what did I do? I sat with my family. Maybe Abigail wouldn't notice?

"Hey guys,"

Emmett smiled, "Nice of you to join us."

"I hope I haven't missed anything too interesting?"

Then Alice spoke up, "We're all going on a hunting trip except for you and your parents."

"…Why?"

Alice then said, "What do you mean why? We just are."

"Um, okay." I was confused, I mean everyone took different hunting trips all the time. Sometimes I would stay with just my dad, or just the guys, or just the other girls, or whatever, but nobody ever planned it, "When are you guys leaving?"

Then my mom said, "They're leaving Friday just before the snow storm."

I turned to my mom, confused, "You didn't want to leave for the snow storm?" I knew that my mom always hated snow.

My dad put his arm around her shoulders and kissed her forehead. She shook her head, "We won't go out anyways."

"Okay."

I tried hard, I really did. And I was extremely proud of myself. I did not once look Abigail's way for over ten minutes. And I tried to keep it up, really I did. But I just couldn't help myself. I had to look, once. I just had to.

So while everyone was in a deep conversation about whose arms were longer, I turned my head towards her table.

She had finished her lunch and was now sitting, doodling in her notebook while her two friends were in their own conversation. I suddenly felt bad. If I were sitting next to her then she would have someone to talk to. Unless she didn't want to talk to me.

After about a minute of me just staring at her she tilted her head up and her eyes locked with mine. I felt myself unable to move, unable to think. After what felt like a lifetime of getting lost in those wonderful eyes, she smiled at me. I smiled back at her.

Her friend waved her hand in front of her face and I heard a "Hello, earth to Abigail."

She snapped her eyes away from mine and jumped a bit then I heard her say, "Sorry, I was just a bit, um distracted."

I looked back at my family and found my dad staring at me. What?

He mouthed, "We'll talk later." I just nodded my head, was I in trouble?

The bell rung and I gathered my stuff together. I had Spanish next period, with Abigail. And I wanted to walk to class with her.

"I'll see you guys later."

I saw some odd looks from my family. Alice gave me a confused expression. And my mom turned to look at my dad with a worried expression on her face. I felt bad for upsetting mom, but I really wanted to talk to Abigail.

I saw my dad kiss her cheek and heard him said, "Don't worry about it, love." My mom immediately relaxed.

I walked as fast as I could to Abigail who was already out the door. I caught up to her and started to walk next to her.

"Hey Abigail!"

She turned her head to me and smiled, "Hey Anthony! Spanish next huh?" She's not mad, thank god. And she doesn't seem like she hates me.

I nodded my head, so she knew that we had Spanish together hmm…

She continued, her lips not smiling as much, "Spanish is my worst subject. I was never really good to languages. I switched to French one year and that didn't really work out for me."

"I could help you if you want? I mean I'm pretty fluent in Spanish." Did I sound like I was bragging? Because I wasn't I just wanted to help her.

"Really?" I nodded my head, "Yeah, sure."

She smiled, "Thank you so much. I was afraid that I would fail the course."

"No problem."

We made it to the Spanish room and both walked in. She sat in the seat in front of me and I sat in the seat behind her.

She had beautiful hair. I felt the need to play with it, and kiss it, and run my fingers through it. Sigh. I wanted nothing than more to hold her in my arms and never let her go. I wanted to make her laugh and smile forever. I wanted to make her happy.

Before the teacher walked into the room she turned around and smiled at me. And I knew right then and there, that I was hopelessly in love with Abigail Smith.

Abigail's Point of View

Oh god, how stupid could I be? Sure, I got the courage to talk to Anthony. But he probably just thought of me as a friend. Not even, an acquaintance probably, he lended me a pen, so what? It's a pen. It was a pretty perfect pen though…

Ugh, why was I so stupid? I sounded desperate, So, I'll see you at lunch?

Ugh, he probably didn't want to see me at lunch. I shouldn't have talked to him, he probably thought that I was just some stupid girl who forgot her pen. And I actually did forget my pen, I didn't do it just to talk to him.

So here I was sitting at the lunch table. When he walked in I didn't see him at first, but then he walked right by my table to sit with his family. Which was great, I mean if I had siblings, I would probably sit with them as well. But he didn't say hi or anything.

Vanessa and Katie were having a conversation about what was better, Macs or PCs, I honestly couldn't care less. So I was doodling in my sketchbook mindlessly. Well not mindlessly, I was thinking of Anthony of course and how much he probably hated me.

About five minutes later I felt a pair of eyes on me, so I looked up. Anthony Masen was looking directly at me. His beautiful emerald eyes were looking directly at my brown ones. After what felt like a life time I smiled and he smiled back.

Maybe he didn't hate me?

After I smiled Katie waved a hand in front of my face, "Hello? Earth to Abigail."

I turned my head to look at her, "Oh, sorry, I got a little um distracted."

"Oh, you were just zoning out, wanted to make sure that you were still here with us."

"Yeah, I'm still here."

Katie smiled, "Good."

The bell then rung and I got my stuff together. I said goodbye to Vanessa and Katie and then made my way so Spanish, which I was failing, miserably. I would probably need to get a tutor or something.

Just after I walked out the door I felt someone next to me, Anthony. I immediately smiled, he didn't hate me!

We talked all the way to Spanish and he said that he would help me not fail the subject! Happiest moment of my life. He didn't hate me!

We made it to the classroom and I sat in front of him. Right before the class started I turned around and smiled at him, what made me do it? I have no idea. But after he smiled back at me, I realized one thing,

I was falling in love with Anthony Masen.
