My internet is being gay

My internet is being gay. I think my computer has got a virus :

Anyway.

I'm on a different computer typing up this chapter.

I'm going to try and update all of the stories if I can

But I haven't updated this one in a long time.

Mainly because I have to study each chapter.

Okay but here we go.

Chapter 2

A fine frenzy

I hadn't been able to sleep well. But it really wasn't shocking my mind was in a constant frenzy these days. I was still in the process of convincing myself this was happening. I heard my alarm go off but I just squeezed my eyes shut.

I finally groaned and got out of bed, getting ready for my second day at Forks that I knew wouldn't be any fun because Edward wouldn't be there.

At least, I didn't think he would.

My dream last night was complex; it jumped from what I knew to what I know now, Edward making his first appearance. I saw my parents motioning me to come to them, then my friends telling me to come to them, and then Edward.

I was torn between everyone I cared about.

Even worse, someone I only knew from a book.

Who did I choose? If I chose my family I would go back, best not find out.

I finally gave up on the dream, and decided I needed to focus on getting into character.

I put a blue shirt, and blue jeans, with some brown boots. I went to the bathroom, teasing my hair, and I was set.

I went downstairs, and saw Charlie had already left. I grabbed an apple and was gone.

It was raining, and chilly outside. I put the brown jacket on, and blasted the heat in the truck. I got to the parking lot, staring down the parking lot for a silver Volvo.

It wasn't there.

I don't know why I got my hopes up thinking it would be, pretty much everything happened yesterday that was suppose to except for the me leaving lunch thing, and that was just a courtesy towards him.

Oh well, I did know that he would be back.

But what was awful was, I had no idea what the heck trigonometry is, I had barely passed algebra. So I made a fool out of myself in that class. On the Brightside, we did play volleyball, and even though Bella is clumsy, volley ball wasn't a hard concept. At least not for me.

And, I did do well in P.E today; I didn't hurt anyone, or myself. I actually did things right, but I did know that I wouldn't try out for the basketball team. I would be useless now; I wasn't the brute force I used to be.

At lunch today, it was expected. He wasn't there. Although I think Alice smiled at me which I took as a good sign.

After school, I went and got groceries, since hamburger meat, eggs, and bacon wasn't going to cut it. So I bought a mixture of stuff, hoping I would be able to figure something out, maybe even look a recipe up on the computer when I got home.

After unloading the groceries, I got on the computer in need of a recipe desperately.

I had three new e-mails.

Renee, I thought.

I was right, the e-mails Bella were expected to get.

Write me as soon as you get in. Tell me how your flight was. Is it raining? I miss you already. I'm almost finished packing for Florida. But I can't find my pink blouse. Do you know where I put it? Phil says hi. Mom.

Bella really was the adult, it sounds like something I would ask my mom. And I'm fifteen.

I went ahead and read the second one even though I knew what it said.

Why haven't you e-mailed me yet? What are you waiting for? Mom.

Ah, and the last one, She used her full name, must be frustrated.

Isabella,

If I haven't heard from you by 5:30 p.m today I'm calling Charlie.

Oh well at least she cares, of course I thought it would be way easier if she just called. I went ahead and e-mailed back, not quite remembering what Bella had said.

Mom.

Everything is good, of course it's raining, I'm in the rain capital remember? I told you before I left that I wouldn't be able to e-mail you every hour. I like the school, it's different from my other, but I'm getting used to it. I met some nice kids that I sit with at lunch. Your blouse is at the drycleaners you were supposed to pick it up Friday I think?

Anyway Charlie got me a truck. It's really great I love it. It runs good. I miss you to, I'll write you again. Just chill

Love,

Bella

I figured that would be good enough, it wasn't exactly what Bella had said but it would satisfy her mom.

I decided to attempt to make steak and potatoes.

It actually turned out better then I thought, I got finished right when Charlie walked in,

"Bella?" called.

"In the kitchen."

He walked over and hung his gun belt and took off his shoes.

"What's for dinner?"

"Steak and potatoes." I answered.

He stood kind of awkward in the doorway.

"It smells good."

"Let's just hope it tastes good, or you'll have to fix us some eggs and bacon." I joked.

I set the table, sitting both of our plates down, then sitting down myself. It was really awkward for me at first because of the silence.

It's the way she likes, it's the way she likes it…I thought to myself.

"So how was school today?"

"Oh same oh routine, how was work?"

"Oh it was slow today, nothing much happened."

When did anything happen in Forks? It was much like my old town, two murder in fifty years.

I finished up the dishes again, routinely saying goodnight to Charlie, and going to take my shower, then taking my sleeping AID.

And then to the bed, where I would sulk, all night.

It was just Edward tonight. We were in the woods; he reached towards my face, but flinched away… Disappearing into the darkness, leaving me alone, I heard the trees around me rattle the light all the sudden setting to dark.

"Bella." I heard a hiss.

I turned, making a complete circle but seeing nothing.

BEEEP!

I snapped up, almost shrieking at the meaningless nightmare.

It was quite dull at school without him there. I had to listen to Jessica go on and on about mike to the point where it was nauseating. Then I had to listen to mike as me out again and again, and I would have to let him down, every time.

Of course, Angela was nice, she was actually very nice. We needed more people like her in the real world.

I couldn't really do anything that weekend, I wasn't an experienced driver, plus I had no idea where things were. So I couldn't make a trip to Port Angeles.

Monday finally came. It wasn't raining, the clouds were white though.

Of course, In English, there was a quiz on a book I had never heard of, and I bombed it probably. When I got out it was snowing kids were squealing with joy, the chilled wind hit my face, shocking me. I hadn't been in this kind of cold weather in a long time. It was warm where I was.

"Wow, its snowing."

It was a pretty snow, but it frightened me, I hadn't drove in nasty weather, I was just now getting used to the driving thing.

"Crap…" I muttered.

"What, you don't like the snow?"

"No, its not that, I just don't like driving in nasty weather, snow and stuff you know, it kind of scares me."

"Oh well I can give you a ride home."

Uh-oh I shouldn't have said anything.

"No thank you Mike, but thanks for the offer."

"Okay Bella,"

"I'm going in, I don't want to get wet. I'll see you later."

"See ya." He said throwing a snowball at Eric.

I got nervous, before I got to lunch.

The butterflies were attacking my stomach so I decided I would just drink some water.

Today was the day, he would be back I think.

I sat down, looking at the table, and saw him. He was staring at me curiously.

I got caught in his gaze, how easily he held me in it; I was like putty in his hand.

They all looked Amazing. They did look like a scene from a movie. Except better. Edward looked better; his eyes had changed from the coal black to the gold, his laugh like bells chiming. He looked in better spirit this week.

Which upraised me; it made me feel good as well.

"Bella, earth to Bella? Snap out of it, what are you staring at."

I snapped out of it, playing with my bottle, "Nothing, just thinking."

"Edward Cullen is staring at you."

I lowered my head, "Jessica, please don't look at him."

"It's hard not to, he's gorgeous…" She mused.

"I don't think he likes me." Play along.

"They don't like anybody… But regardless, he's still staring."

"Stop looking!" I hissed.

"Sheesh Bella, get a grip. It's not a big deal."

Witch. I thought.

I tuned them out the rest of the lunch period, I had no interest in the snowball battle, I had no interest on what Jessica had to say. I wanted to get to biology.

I walked swiftly to biology, not wanting to get mauled with snowballs of course. I beat him to class again, moving my seat far as I could without being on the edge of the lab. I didn't really know what to do so I just doodled little notes on a piece of paper that were on the board. I heard his chair move, my heart stopped.

"Hello," Ah, the voice I had been yearning to hear.

I looked up, instantly dazzled. He was sitting as far away as the lab allowed him to, but the chair was angled at me. His hair wet, he looked beautiful. He smiled at me, his eyes liquid.

"My name is Edward Cullen," He continued. "I didn't have a chance to introduce myself last week. You must be Bella Swan."

I didn't know what to say to him, my mind had went blank as to what happened next in the book, I just looked at him stupidly He laughed, it chimed like bells.

"Or Isabella if you prefer?"

"No, no Bella's fine…Its strange, I just didn't think you knew my name, everyone else calls me Isabella, but I prefer Bella."

"Oh."

I sounded retarded, I felt so silly, I wanted to crawl in a hole and hide, he was very intimidating.

I actually did this experiment at my school, the whole onion root thing, lucky me. I had taken biology, so that was one subject I was okay in. after Mr. Banner gave us the green light, I sat there still frozen.

"Ladies first, partner?" Edward asked. Ugh Shelby snap out of it! Stop staring at him like your some crazed idiot.

"Or if you'd like, I'll start." His smile faded, I guess I was beginning to look crazy.

"No," I felt my cheeks burning, I knew that wouldn't help, "I'll go ahead."

Okay so it was harder then the experiment at my school, we just looked at the onion root, we didn't have to identify it so I had to cheat from what I read in twilight.

"Prophase." Of course I knew he would doubt me.

"Do you mind if I look?" he asked, as I began to take it off the slide, his hand touched mine, I didn't flinch, I guess I was expecting this, he gazed in my eyes, the touch electric, pulsing through my body, he released it quickly, even though it felt like forever.

"Sorry," he shook his head, pulling his hand away swiftly. He continued for the microscope though. I watched him, still quite shaken as he looked through the scope.

"Prophase," He agreed, using his neat scriptive handwriting. He changed the slide quickly, then glanced at it.

"Anaphase,"

"Can I look?"

He laughed, but quickly covered it up with a cough.

I knew he was right, I just wanted to look.

"Slide three?" I asked like Bella would. Stubborn girl.

He handed it to me, making sure he didn't touch my skin again.

I kind of felt like Miley Cyrus, living the double life whatever. I was getting good at being somebody I wasn't; thank god I read the book numerous times.

We were done within five minutes. I tried not to look at him, but it was impossible as Bella had said. He looked angry

His gold eyes held my gaze,

I broke it, blinking a few times, "Did you get contacts?"

"No,"

"Oh." Liar, lair, pants on fire. I thought.

Mr. Banner came to our table to see why we weren't working; he glanced at everything then spoke.

"Edward, didn't you think Isabella should get a chance with the telescope?" He asked.

I was slightly offended. Even though I really knew nothing about the lab, he just assumes I do nothing.

"Bella actually answered three of the five."

I liked how he corrected the name, although I would have been even more intrigued if he had said Shelby.

"Have you done this lab?"

"Yes."

"Were you in an advanced placement program in Phoenix?"

No…HAHA! I thought.

"Yes." I lied.

"Well I guess its good you two are lab partners."

I decided to draw again; there wasn't much else I could do.

"It's to bad about the snow isn't it?" He asked.

"I'm kind of glad actually."

"You don't like the cold." It wasn't a question, although it kind of seemed it.

"Its not that entirely, I mean of course I like pretty weather more then wet, but I don't like driving in snow, it makes me nervous."

"Forks must be a difficult place to live." He seemed amused with my answer.

"It's a lot different then Phoenix."

"Why did you come here then?"

"It's a really long story." My words had double meaning.

"I'm sure I can keep up."

Of course you can. I thought. How to explain it, how to explain it. I jumbled in my mind for the information I needed, I guess it was taking me longer then I needed to.

"You don't have to explain to me if you don't want to." He murmured.

"No, no. Its not that I just can't figure out how to explain it, its complicated for me."

I began again, "My mom, she got re-married,"

"That's not so complicated." Of course he wouldn't think so, "When did that happen?'

"Last September."

"You don't like him?"

"Its not that, he's nice."

"Then why did you stay with them?"

It sounded to me, like he was wishing I would have stayed, of course that's what he was thinking, I'm sure of it.

"Well, he traveled a lot, he was in minor league baseball, and my mom had to stay with me, and it made her sad, so I decided I needed to spend some quality time with Charlie.

"But now your unhappy." He pointed out.

"It doesn't really matter, I'm getting used to it."

"that doesn't seem fair," he said shrugging, his eyes now hard gold instead of liquid.

"Haven't you heard, life's not fair?"

"Yeah…" He paused, trying to change the subject, "Why did you leave lunch the other day? I mean, you looked at me and…" he stopped.

Ah! The golden question eh. "Well, to be honest, Mike Newton was on my last nerve, he had been following me everywhere all day, and I just needed to get away for a while." I said in a low whisper,

He laughed hard, when Mr. Banner looked at us, he tried to cover it with a cough.

"You have no idea, how annoying that boy can be." I could sense the double meaning in his words.

"I haven't had the pleasure of knowing him as long as you." still whispering so he wouldn't hear us.

The bell rang, he flew out of class as fast as he could for a human.

Ah, my golden retriever was at my service.

"Cullen seemed nice enough today, huh?"

"Yeah…" I mused, sniffing his scent in the air, it was mouthwatering.

"I've actually never heard him laugh with anyone besides his family, what did you say that was so funny?"

"Nothing really, I just mentioned that I'm a clutz, that's all." I chuckled.

"Hmm, well, he's still weird…"

I tuned Mike out, nodding when I figured it was necessary, I didn't feel like listening to him say how weird the Cullen's were.

Although, I did good in volleyball. This was a sport I could do, even Bella could have done it if she had known how. It wasn't a very mobile sport when it was just P.E volleyball.

I ran out of gym, only putting my shoes halfway on. I got to my car, almost falling down as I jumped in. The truck roared to life. And I passed the Volvo. Of course, Bella was right, he was laughing at her. I kept my head forward, ignoring him.

Okay its done now.
