Ch 3: Study Session.

Disclaimer: I will now attempt to whistle Dixie underwater, and all the time I am whistling, I will have partial ownership of the characters in my story. Whistles first few notes Runs out of breath Instinctively inhales Chokes on water Ends up in hospital thinking about how totally NOT WORTH IT owning Twilight characters is Declares that he will never own them

"Now that I think back on it that was probably when I started becoming infatuated with Bella. Then again, it seems that said affliction is common here. Silly me, it wasn't until later when I found out that she was taken. "

"I can't thank you enough Bella, Mr. Crampfort is brutal." I smile at her, falling into this easy going chat that seems to come naturally around her. I smile; although I am positive it is not nearly as stunning to her as hers is to me.

"Not at all, it wasn't really that difficult." She downplayed her small miracle of making English understandable.

"Hmm… What's that?" I mumble, hearing something coming. I turn my head to the left and look at the front gate. She leans into my line of sight.

"Hey Jeff, what is it?"

"Oh, it must be nothing," I say, as I turn back to look at her, "I just thought I had heard a car coming or something." I could have sworn I was something flash behind her eyes, but it was gone as fast as it came. Nah, I'm just being paranoid.

"Really? You must have really good hearing."

"It's my big ears." I joke, pulling on the tops of them and making a silly face. Bella burst out into laughter, and this time it was flutes instead of harps.

"If you keep pulling on them like that then they really will get big," she managed after she stopped laughing.

"Anyway, on a more serious note, I wanted to offer you a ride home."

"I couldn't."

"Are you kidding, if my old man were here if he were still alive and he found out I hadn't given you a ride home, he would chew me out."

"No really, I couldn't. My ride is just arriving." She turns and looks toward the main gate, and I follow her gaze, seeing a silver Volvo pull into the parking lot.

"Edward!" she called out, flagging him down. The shiny silver Volvo pulls into the parking spot in front of where we are standing, and Bella runs forward to meet him. For the first time I notice the shiny diamond ring on her hand. Damnit, she's taken! yells my subconscious. I place her onto the "unavailable" list in the far recesses of my mind. She flashes me another of her ridiculously effective dazzling smiles.

"Thanks anyway for the offer Jeff." She waves, and I numbly wave back. By the time I come to my senses, they are far gone. I sigh, and slowly trudge over to my 95 Jeep.

A/N:Here's a pic of what my Jeep looks like, only it is shorter.
