So this chapter is a bit longer. I'm still working on the story itself, like what's going to happen and all that good stuff.

Chapter 2

I opened my eyes to see that the sun was streaming in through the large window that was pretty much the entire wall. I couldn't sleep anymore, but out of habit I still went to bed. I mostly thought a lot during those long quiet hours. Sometimes Edward would join me, other times I simply wished to be alone.

I sat up in the huge four poster bed that was missing one of its iron roses, Edward's attempt to prove that his strength was far greater than I imagined, that wound around the bedposts. On this particular morning Edward was not with me. I had had a rather emotional day yesterday, I found some pictures from before I changed, and felt the need to think by myself. Now don't get me wrong, I was entirely positive I had made the right decision in asking for Edward to change me. I didn't regret that at all. It was just seeing me and my friends back home had brought up some emotions that I had successfully pushed far down into my core in my attempts to avoid them. It just hadn't been a good day.

I rolled over and swung my feet down to the floor and got out of bed. We lived in a small town in Canada named Deshaw. In all honestly it reminded me of Forks. The population was about the same and it had the same tiny school. Since Edward and I had decided to wait until next year to go to college, we agreed to enroll in high school once more as seniors. Alice had joined us there as well. We were, as was to be expected, outcasts of sort. But we didn't care; we had each other and were in all the same classes except for one. We agreed a period away from each other would be a good idea.

As I thought about the school day ahead I flitted to my huge walk in closet and picked out an outfit. Alice had completely restocked my wardrobe after my change. She felt that I should dress as beautifully as I was. I wasn't about to take away her joy. So I wore everything she bought with a smile. When I emerged I found Edward leaning against the doorframe of my room. I gave him a glorious smile and raced into his arms.

"Good morning"

As I said this I gazed into his light topaz eyes and felt completely, well, complete. He gazed down at me with an equally adoring gaze and kissed me softly. He still had the same effect on me as before, my breathing increased despite the fact that it was completely unnecessary. I was still irrevocably and unconditionally enveloped in my love for him.

"Good morning, my love, my Bella. Are you ready to go?"

I pouted. I didn't want to go to school. I wanted to stay here in his arms all day. I suppose I could, but it would get suspicious if we missed too many days of school. We already did when it came to our weekend hunting trips.

"I suppose so. Race you to the car?"

I didn't wait to hear a reply. I figured there would be none so I bolted the second the question left my lips. And so had he. Alice was already standing beside the Volvo waiting.

"Bella wins Edward"

She smiled her dazzling smile and let her whimsical laughter flow into the morning air. The sun had already disappeared behind the days clouds. It was almost always cloudy here. That was the main reason we had chosen this remote town.

"Only because I let her."

He said in his velvety smooth voice.

"Of course you did."

I replied with the slightest hint of sarcasm.

"Can I drive today?"

I asked with another one of my pouty faces, he always fell for them. But before he could reply Alice made a move to try and snatch the keys from his grasp. Her attempts failed. He had read her thoughts a moment before she moved and lifted them above her head. She wanted to drive too. I decided that it didn't really matter and I relinquished driving privileges to her. She grinned victoriously.

"Thanks Bells!"

We got inside the car and sped off towards Deshaw High School.

Of course she drove inhumanly fast and we were in town in a matter of minutes. Once she hit the "Welcome to Deshaw" sign she slowed to the normal speed and pulled into the student parking lot. It was the first day back after summer so we weren't the "new kids" this time. Well, we were to an extent, but we didn't have to endure the introductions that new students who joined in the middle of the year did.

We got out of the car and of course everyone stared. I looked to Edward questioningly, asking with my eyes if I could borrow his power. I loved to hear what people thought when they first saw us. Even thought they almost always had the same reactions. He nodded and gave me my favorite slanted smile. I melted for about the millionth time.

As the thoughts came to me one by one I saw that indeed, they were pretty much the general reactions that we received everywhere.

Wow, they are gorgeous…

They look like models!

He is FIIINE!

Those girls are so pretty...

So far nothing out of the ordinary. It would seem that this year would be much the same as every other year. What a joy.

We walked in silence holding our props as we headed to our first period class, AP Bio.
