Chapter 3:Edward's Encounter

Edward's POV

"Bella thinks she is sooo slick", I thought to myself. I was so close to getting the truth behind what she was hiding from me. Damn phone. Now she wants me to go meet up with her friends.

Bella did make an interesting point; I could meet up with them and be back before class ends.

"Two can play at that game", I thought to myself. She looked up at me and I instantly began to kiss her, moving my lips with such a passion that could set this very room on fire. I felt Bella's heart beat speed up faster and faster. Music to my ears, I thought. That made me pull her closer and kiss her more intensely.

I can tell that she was getting a little woozy. My lips slowly parted from hers and I smiled at the thought of her turning away from me gasping for air. I figured I would leave her with that to think about. I quickly was out of my seat before anyone noticed that I was gone and I heard Bella say, "And I thought I was bad."

I chuckled to myself and was running to my car when Alice's thoughts stopped me dead in my tracks.

"Edward take it easy on them. We don't even know what's going on with them yet", Alice said.

Then I said to her, "So I take it that you can't see nothing either, like me?"

Alice said, "No. Whatever they are hiding must be really bad because even I can't get a clear picture. Both Manny and Shannon's futures keep changing."

"What about Bella's future, Alice? Do you see changes in her future?"

"If it does involve Bella, then she must not be aware yet because there is nothing out of the ordinary with her", said Alice.

I told Alice, "Alright then, can you please just keep an eye on things? I have to go and rescue her friends." "Talk to you soon", Alice said to me. I got in my car and quickly started speeding down in the direction of Newton Olympic Outfitters.

Driving down the street I couldn't help but think about what Bella and Shannon were almost arguing about.

Shannon said to Bella, "You always try to play Miss Perfect. Thinking you are all that here in Washington when you know you have a past in Phoenix. We are not that different from each other."

I wondered to myself about the things that Bella, my Bella has done before she met me. It could not be any worse than her risking her life everyday by being with me. Whatever it is that Shannon was referring to, had Bella pissed from what I heard in Jasper thoughts.

In Jasper's thoughts, I heard him say, "Whoa, what's up with Bella? So much anger coming from her. I'd better calm her down before she goes ballistic in front of the whole cafeteria."

I had looked away from Shannon and Bella to look at Jasper who seems to be calming everyone down.

"Man this is killing me, why won't she tell me what's going on with her?" I said gripping the steering wheel.

I glanced up to the road to see that I was approaching Bella's truck. I quickly came to a slow stop as I listened to Shannon and Manny argue about whose faults it were, but I don't think it was about them being lost. I saw Manny look up at the rearview mirror seeing my approach. I got out of my car and walked to the side of the truck and I read Manny's thoughts,

"Shannon was right, we should have never come here. God, what was I thinking? How can I bring this on Bella? Stop it. Stop thinking about this. There goes Edward and I bet he didn't even want to come."

I felt myself ball my fists up, but kept my voice calm, "So you got lost huh? I asked them.

Shannon said, "Yeah, I think we might have taken a wrong turn somewhere.

"Well, I want you guys to follow me and I will take you to Bella's house."

I went and got in my car and started to drive. I knew that something was up with them and Manny just confirmed it. Sort of anyway. What have they brought upon us? Yes us, because whatever involves Bella automatically includes me as well. Lots of thoughts went through my head and this is killing me. I have to find out what Bella is hiding from me. She might not know why they are here, but she knows what they are about and that must tie in on why they are here now.

I noticed that Bella's house was coming up on the right, so I called Shannon on Bella's phone.

"Hey Shannon, we are going to keep straight and the first house on the right is Bella's house, so you guys can pull in there and go inside. I am going to keep straight back to the school, okay?" I asked.

Shannon said, "Yes I understand and thank you Edward for doing this and we will see you guys after school."

I drove by Bella's house and honked the horn and kept driving. I checked the rearview mirror to make sure they went to Bella's house and they did.

I quickly gave my Volvo the gas and hit 150mph in no time as I sped back to the school. I pulled into my usual space and noticed I had less the three minutes to get back to class and into my seat. I ran with vampire speed back to Biology and managed to slip past the teacher to my seat. The teacher then flicked on the lights. Bella turned toward me and jumped when she saw that I was back.

She said, "Damn it Edward, you could have gave me some notice letting me know you were back."

I laughed and said, "Well, I thought this would be much funnier just scaring you."

The bell rang and it was the time of day that I hated. It was when Bella and I had to part our separate ways. This last period was Spanish for me and Bella had gym with that vile Mike Newton.

Mike was one of those hopeless cases, always trying to get at Bella at every chance he got. Of course he would only do it when I wasn't around and that made me mad. As I was walking Bella to her class, she asked me,

"So Edward, what happened when you met up with Shannon and Manny?"

I lied to her perfectly when I said, "Nothing much. I just took them to your house and kept driving."

There was need for me to tell her Manny's thoughts because I wasn't even entirely clear on them myself.

"Yes! Last class of the day with Bella and the best part of it is no Cullen", Mike Newton thought as he half ran past us to the gym door.

I guess he was waiting there for Bella. I balled up my right fist and Bella looked at me with a puzzled look on her face. She turned around to see Mike at the gym door and automatically knew the reason for my behavior.

Bella began to shake her head back and forth as she touched my face with her hand. She turned to leave when I grabbed her hand and pulled her close to me, stared into her eyes, and then brought my lips to hers.

After Bella started getting light headed, I pulled away from her but not letting go of her waist and said to her, "See you after class, love", and I turned and walked away with a smug grin going across my face.
