A/N: Okay… so I know I haven't updated in awhile. I've been super busy!

Chapter 4

"Okay class, this is what we call our exam class room. This means that when we have an exam… I will tell you and we will use this classroom. Now some of you have met my siblings I assume. Well I would like to tell you that I too have an affinity. I can read minds." He scrunched his eyes at me and then shook it off. "Okay now if you will all follow me, I will lead you to my regular classroom."

Everybody stood up and filed out of the class and I followed with hesitation as the caboose. I didn't notice that Professor Cullen was next to me until I felt his cool breath on my neck. "What an incredible mark you have."

I felt shivers up and down my back. "Um, er thank you."

His eyebrows scrunched again and he growled. I jumped and collided into the back of the guy in front of me. "Oh, sorry."

He turned to look at me. "No problem."

Did he just growl? Sheesh. What did I do to tick off the teacher? Note to self… don't use manners. I giggled to myself at my little joke.

I followed the others down the hall and into a large room. We walked in and the first think I noticed was the baby grand piano in the middle of the room. There were three entrances located around the room.

"Okay, this will be where all my classes will be conducted unless we are taking an exam. It is located behind the auditorium stage. To the right are the dressing rooms for any dramas you might be in. Also when we have our four performances this year you will be using them to change." Wait did he just say performances? What had I gotten myself into?

"This is the intro into music class, also known as chorus. You have all been placed here because you are musically gifted." Oh boy was he wrong. "Like I said, we will have four performances this year and the first one is coming up in two months. Despite the war raging between our kind and the humans, your parents and friends will be encouraged to attend." My heart fluttered. I would get to see Jake again.

Mr. Cullen eyed me and I figured being a vamp her must have heard my heart flutter or something. Why did he have to be so breathtakingly beautiful? Why did he have to be off limits? I mentally chastised myself. "You have a boyfriend Bella, a boyfriend who loves you despite what you may become." I groaned. "A very off limits boyfriend. Stupid werewolf curse."

I had apparently spoken my last sentence out loud without noticing. "Is there something you would like to share Miss Swan?"

I shook my head. "No sir."

I buried my head in my face as I wallowed in self-pity. Of all the people that beautiful blonde could have marked… it had to be me. What luck. Was I just doomed to be a frequent outlaw?

I didn't look up the rest of the class period. I was tired of being the center of attention. I didn't even notice the bell had rung until I head the hasty screeching of chairs and the groans of the girls. I got up and gathered my books. I retreated for the door.

"Miss Swan, could I please talk to you?" I whirled around and my eyes were lost in endless pools of green.

"Um, yes sir?" I dropped my head to look at the ground.

He groaned. "I told you to call me Edward. I'm barely older than you. I'm only 19. Mr. Cullen is my father. Well technically he's Dr. Cullen, but you catch my drift."

I looked up and blushed. "Sorry."

He grinned. "No need to be sorry. So, are you new here?" He paused. "Oh right, you already told me that. Well I'm new here too. I actually just started today."

I yawned. It was four in the morning and I yet to get some decent sleep. "Um, if you don't mind. I haven't slept since last night at this time."

He gasped. "Of course, why don't I walk you back to the door. I'm going that way anyway."

I shrugged. "Sure."

He swiftly turned around and grabbed his papers off the piano receiving a paper cut. The scent that once would have repulsed me now wrapped around me almost tauntingly, I wanted more.

I gasped and my eyes grew wide. "Impossible." I whispered.

I was appalled by even the thought of wanting his blood. It was so unnatural. It wasn't who I was. Yet, I didn't really know who I was now.

I walked out of the door and he followed closely behind me. He had placed a napkin over his cut to stop the bleeding. "So, Miss Swan…"

"Bella." I corrected him.

"Right, so Bella. You have a boyfriend?" Edward asked me curiously.

"Yeah, well kind of. I don't know now. He's not exactly a potential boyfriend for me now." I sighed and we walked out into the crisp morning.

"Ah, and why is that?" He studied my face careful to hide the emotions played on his.

"He's a werewolf." I waited for his response.

"Dogs, lovely." Edward scrunched his nose.

"Hey, be nice." I popped him playfully but an electric current zapped me.

He must have felt it too because he jumped a little. We arrived at the girl's dorm and he sighed. "It's so like Nyx to place her hand upon the girlfriend of a werewolf." He ran his thumb over the visible crescent on my forehead.

His touch felt right though. It was like I was attracted to him somehow. I forgot to breathe. He leaned down so his lips were centimeters from my ear. "The forbidden fruits always taste the best." He whispered in my ear and sent shivers up my spine. He ran his tongue along the skin below my ear.

He chuckled and stepped away. "I'll see you tomorrow Bella."

He had a glint in his eyes, almost… naughty. "He's a teacher Bella." I kept saying to myself as I glided up the stairs. I felt like I was on a natural high. I really needed to talk to Zoey.

I walked up to her door and knocked on it lightly. I heard a groan and Zoey came to the door with red liquid on her lip. I instantly smelled the blood and wanted it for myself. I glanced behind he shoulder and Erick stood up coming behind her wrapping his arm around her waist.

"What's up Bella?" Zoey had that "you caught me" look on her face.

I blushed. "I need someone to talk to? It can wait if you want."

She laughed. "Nah, come on in. Erick was just getting in the shower." She pushed Erick. "Weren't you?"

"Um, yeah." He turned around real quick and licked the blood from her lips. He headed toward the bathroom and I sat on the vacant bed across the room from Zoey's.

"So what's up?" Zoey played idly with Nala's tail.

"I think I'm in love." I'm sure I looked like one of those idiots from the chick flicks.

She giggled. "Oh, do tell."

I sighed. "My music teacher."

She froze. "He's a teacher? Messy auburn hair with piercing green eyes?"

I nodded imagining him in my head. She walked right over to me and slapped me. "Bella, snap out of it. You cannot like a teacher. Nothing good will come from it." She shuddered. "Trust me, they're all the same. Besides… this guy knows everything. He can read our minds."

I shook my head. "No, this guy's different."

"No! He's not. He's just like the rest of them." She threw her hands up in the air. "You don't know what it feels like to be played. He doesn't like you."

I rolled my eyes. "What about Erick?" I paused. "And apparently if this guy knows everything we would be gone by now." I got up and stalked toward the door. "You don't know him."

She got up as if to show me out. Before she closed the door in my face she whispered one simple phrase. "Neither do you."

I turned around and screeched. I ran into my room to find Erin and Shaunee sitting on my bed. I collapsed beside them and screamed into one of my fluffy pillows.

"Do you think she's crazy?" Shaunee asked Erin.

"Definitely." Erin answered her.

They shook me back to saneness. "So how was music?"

I grinned. "Amazing."

They laughed. "Is he adorable?"

I nodded. "Absolutely." I thought of whether or not I should tell them about my little rendezvous with him. What the heck? "Yeah, I think he's in to me."

Their eyes grew wide. "Oh, do tell."

I blushed. "He walked me back from class. He also whispered something about forbidden fruit and then he licked my neck."

They gasped. "Wow." Shaunee said.

"Wow indeed twin." Erin answered.

I yawned. "Now if you two will now leave, I'm tired."

I got up and pushed them out the room. After all the giggling and eyebrow wiggling they finally left. I locked my door and walked toward the bathroom. I stripped of my clothes and slipped into the shower letting the warm water flow over my skin.

I stepped out of the warm shower and turned the nozzle slipping the fluffy towel around me. My phone buzzed and I ran to get it. Who the heck could be calling me at 5:30am? I picked it up and was ecstatic to hear his voice.

"Hello?" I breathed into the phone.

"Bella? How's it going in leech school?" Jake's husky voice came over the phone.

I walked around the room in a daze. "Hey, be nice. I'm one of them too you know."

He chuckled. "You're right, I'm sorry. So how's my little leech?"

I giggled and pulled on my underwear. "Tired, I've yet to go to sleep." I yawned. "How about you?"

He laughed. "I'm just nervous that you're scared and lonely. I miss you."

I smiled. "Yeah, I've been gone less than a day."

He laughed. "I know, I've got it bad."

"Listen Jake, I'm really tired. Can I call you when I wake?" I compromised with him.

"Bella!" He whined through the phone.

I laughed. "Sorry, I promise."

He sighed. "Okay fine. Call me when you get up."

I smiled. "Thanks Jake."

"I love you." He whispered in my ear.

"I love you too." I whispered back.

I pulled my shorts and tank top on over my head. I climbed into the fluffy bed and snuggled into the too cold covers. I was use to having my own personal space heater. Weirdly enough that night (or day) I dreamt of night.

I was walking through the school and a heard someone whisper my name through the side corridor. "Bella, Bella."

I turned down the hallway and suddenly the room lightened. "Hello my child. You have started your journey. Choose your friends wisely and trust in those who see you clearly. Remember, darkness does not always equate to evil, just as light does not always bring good." Nyx smiled at me and kissed my forehead.

"Wait. What does that mean?" I was confused.

She smiled. "You are chosen. All things will reveal themselves to you."

With that I was back in the hallway. I kept walking a little confused and heard a beautiful lullaby soaring through the halls calling me. I walked and found myself in the music room. Edward was at the piano his eyes closed. I froze and he looked up the melody never ceasing. He smiled at me and I walked up to him sitting on the bench as his fingers gracefully moved over the keys.

The melody ended and he turned to me. "My beautiful Bella." He stroked my cheek. "We are the same, he does not belong with you." He leaned toward me and pressed his lips to mine.

I pulled back. "Who?"

Edward placed a finger on my lips silencing me. He brought his lips back down to mine and then I heard the buzzing of the alarm. I sat up. What an intricate dream.

A/N: So… sorry I haven't updated much. I know I'm a horrid person. I'm not horrid… I'm just human and I don't have enough time to do it in. I hope you liked it. What does this mean? Are Bella and Edward truly meant to be? Can she trust him unlike Zoey and Loren?
