Ok so hopefully with it being slow at work this week I will be able to update daily! YAY! I don't have a computer at home so this really is the only time I get to write LOL! I am now adding chapters together to make it longer, I realize the first three chapters were pretty short! I did kinda rush through this one and I don't have a proof reader so any mistakes I apologize for and I hope it's a bit longer! Hope you enjoy!

After fourth period I catch up with everyone in the hall and head to the lunchroom/gym. Edward has a serious expression on his face and I assume he must have been reading my thoughts while I was in English class. We all take a deep breathe and prepare ourselves to walk into the gym. I walk in front knowing if something would go wrong I would be the first to know, behind me is Edward followed by Jasper, who needs the most help. Being able to feel everyone's emotions must be exhausting and in such a closed room with so many people I know it hurts him the most, especially being the newest to the vegetarian lifestyle. Rose and Emmett follow behind cuddled up to each other and whispering so soft even we can't hear them.
I sit next to Edward and give him a questioning look to see what his expression earlier was for. It's not the first time one of us has found a human interesting. He immediately leans towards me.
"I can't read her thoughts"
I know I should find this extremely upsetting. Edward has never met anyone he hasn't been able to read but I cant help but laugh, he seems so frustrated and I know I will be soon to but I cant help but find the thought funny.
I hear my name from an unfamiliar voice across the room and I turn instantly towards it, catching her staring once again. She doesn't drop her eyes this time and I cant back down from the challenge. I take this chance to study her features more closely. Her eyes are a solid chocolate brown, and are a perfect oval shape. I can see every fleck of brown in them, each one more beautiful than the next. Her cheekbones are not too high and they are tinted with blush just like earlier. Her lips are plump and tinted magenta even though I can tell she is not wearing any makeup. Her friend…Angela is it, is talking to her and I feel bad for her since all of Bella's attention is centered on me.
We sit there staring at each other, either to afraid or to excited to drop our gazes. Every once in a while I lift my eyebrow or smile at her just to keep the connection going. I don't even hear the bell when it rings, signaling that we have been in trance through the whole lunch period. I'm stunned when the information hits me and before I can react, Edward has me by the elbow gliding me out of the lunch room. We are walking through the hallway but not towards my next class.
"Edward?"
"Alice, you need to hunt. Go into the forest about a half mile down there is a small herd of deer. You can make it back before your last class"
School is the last thing on my mind and I put up no resistance as he opens the door out to the parking lot. I throw my bag into my car and sprint away from the school and towards the herd of deer. It doesn't take a second for my sense to pick them up and I let the monster inside take completely over as I quench my thirst for blood.
Two deer later I head back to school following my scent and trying to keep my mind clear. I am back in the hall as the bell rings for the last class, I quickly dodge into the classroom and take the closest seat to the door in the back. I take a notebook out and pretend to write notes. I doodle to make the time go by faster and I am rewarded when the bell finally rings. Rosalie meets me outside my door, I know she wants to know what went down between Edward and I but it has to wait until we are out of school and away from prying ears. We are about half way to my car when Rosalie finally speaks.
"You know…there is a new boutique that is opening up this weekend"
I cant help but laugh at her, even though she has no idea what has upset me she still knows exactly how to cheer me up. As I suck in air to laugh I catch a scent to the right of me, it sends shivers down my spine it smells so good. I take a chance and turn my head towards her. There she is standing in the middle of the parking lot staring at me again. I cant help but smile bigger at her, knowing she has consumed all my thoughts today and we haven't even properly met yet.

We eat lunch outside today since the sun is finally visible and I look around trying to find Alice who wasn't in class. I ask Angela about it and she mumbles something about the Cullen's parents taking them camping and hiking a lot when the weather is decent. She must mean when the sun is out because the weather in Forks is never decent. I can tell I must have upset her yesterday by ignoring her when she was talking to me and I know I will have to make it up to her because she is one of the only decent people in Forks so far. My head must have been completely in the clouds yesterday because today I realize Edward is in my biology class. The teacher called out his name numerous times and I frown knowing that they aren't in school. I spend the rest of the day wondering if yesterday was just a delicious dream.
By Wednesday I am in complete denial. I am so relieved when I walk into English and she is sitting next to my seat but a new wave of anxiety washes over me and I quickly look down as I rush to sit. I am about 98% sure I freaked her out staring and I can't even get up the nerve to introduce myself. By the time I get control of my breathing and turn towards her the bell rings and she dashes out of the door. Idiot. Idiot .Idiot. I skip lunch I am so upset with myself and sit in the library. The quietness any other day would be a blessing but today is hell. I can't stop thinking about everything and I grab a random book to read just to take my mind of things.
I walk into 7th period study hall and there she is, across the room, completely absorbed in a book. How had I missed her before?! She didn't have study this hour did she? I take a seat nearest the door and try to finish my government homework. I'm so proud of myself I only looked over to her six times the whole period and immediately I chastise myself wondering why I just can't seem to take any of my thoughts off of her.
Thursday morning I am being shaken awake by Jocelyn. My alarm never went off and I realize the storm the night before cut off the power.
"How did you wake up on time?"
"My cell phone alarm!" She yells as she heads downstairs to get breakfast.
I set mine now so I don't forget, with Forks weather I'm sure it's bound to happen again.
I throw on the first jeans and sweater I see in my closet and head the bathroom to brush my teeth and hair. Joce is ready to go when I finally get downstairs so I just grab a granola bar on our way out.
I pull into the parking space and Jocelyn immediately hops out with a quick goodbye and I see her friends in my rearview mirror Charlie just installed since my truck wasn't new enough to have one.
I pull out my ipod since we actually got here a little early and slide out of my truck trying to walk as carefully as I can. The storm last night left a lot of rain and Charlie had warned us as we left to watch out for ice. My eyes scan the parking lot and quickly landed on a mini purple as it pulls into the last spot available a couple rows down. The door opens as soon as its in park and I see Alice hop out in a hurry. One look at her face and I feel my stomach drop.
I hear the screech of tires on the pavement before I can see the van. Tyler is less than ten feet away from me, his van is turned completely towards me as he slides on black ice. I see Charlie and Jocelyn's face flash in front of my eyes. Not another car accident is all I can think before I feel myself being thrown into my truck. My eyes close and open out of reflex and I cant believe I am staring into a golden iris's of my guardian angel. The van is hitting the back of my truck and it molds around us before hitting my front tire and stopping. Our eyes have been locked the whole time, I know if I look away she will be gone. I feel her cup my cheek.
"Breathe Bella, brethe..are you alright?"
I take deep breathes now trying to make up for the lack of oxygen and nod my head not trusting myself to talk. She gives me a reassuring smile and I can hear footsteps running towards us, she quickly brushes her lips against my cheek and then she's gone over the bed of my truck. I hear Jocelyn screaming my name as she comes around the back of the van and rushes towards me. I fall to the ground as she wraps around me and we don't get up until the ambulance arrives.
I cover my face with my hands as they carry me in the back of the van, insisting with both tyler and I that the stretchers are needed. I can hear the whole school talking as the doors close. There of course is only one ambulance and Tyler apologizes the whole way to the hospital.
Let me know what ya think! The bad, the good and the ugly :D
