I looked back as the building disappeared as we drove away. I checked my watch, 11:30; I was so tired, I mean eight hours of ballet. As I got closer to the dorm rooms there were more and more people around. I listened into a few conversations, but one really caught my attention.
"The basketball team is really good this year. We beat the wildcats 21 – 4," the kid said to his friend. I had totally forgotten about the basketball game! Oh well, I was too tired to care. I barely made it into my room, but as soon as I did I collapsed onto the bed into a deep sleep.

I walked behind Jasper and Emmett on the way out of the locker room. I listened as the crowd cheered for my teammates and then the announcer called my name.
"And here's your captain, Edward Cullen," he said, into the microphone. I ran out onto the court and the cheering got louder. I looked around searching for Bella, but I couldn't find her anywhere. I spotted Alice and Rosalie waving to Emmett and Jasper and wished I had someone waving to me (that I actually cared for). As the other team ran out onto the court I headed into the middle to shake hands with the other captain.
"Cullen," he spat, as his voice came across the loud speaker.
"Newton," I said, matching his tone. We reluctantly shook hands before giving death glares and running back to our teammates. They were already done with the huddle, so I just asked Jasper what play we were doing. I smiled; my favorite one. I ran down the court and waited for Emmett to pass me the ball. As soon as it touched my hands I shot it in from the three point line. The crowd cheered as it swished into the basket. The rest of the game went with us scoring A LOT and them scoring very little. I laughed as I walked back up to a sour Mike Newton.
"Nice game," I said, a little sarcastic.
"I guess," he mumbled. I just laughed some more, but then Lauren came over to me and I stopped laughing.
"Great job, captain," she said, her breath on my neck. Usually I would have been turned on right now, but I couldn't help but wonder where Bella was.
"Thanks," I said, looking around.
"Come on Edward, it's time for the team picture," she smiled, grabbing my hand. I reluctantly let her pull me and then faked a smile for the picture. I wondered why Lauren was in the picture, but then realized that all of the cheerleaders were. I wondered why I had never gone out with Lauren, but then remembered that you could easily get anything you wanted from her without having to call her your girlfriend. I was finally saved as Jasper and Emmett came over to me.
"Did you find Bella?" Emmett asked, elbowing me.
"Nope," I said, once again looking around the huge gym.
"Come on, we better go," Jasper said, running towards the exit. I followed him out of the door and we headed towards our dorms. Jasper and Emmett shared a room and Rosalie and Alice shared a room. I was lucky enough to have my own room, but it was only because I was the captain of the basketball team. I unlocked the door to my room and quickly shut it behind me. I couldn't wait to have a shower and then drift off to sleep.

I woke up the next morning and was surprisingly refreshed. I rolled over and checked the clock, it was already 12:30, and I had slept half of the day away. I got up and got dressed, and then decided on doing "homework." I didn't count photography as homework because it was something I loved to do. I waited as the photos uploaded onto the computer and when they did I almost fell out of my seat. These were some of the best pictures I had ever taken. It took me about 45 minutes to decide on the best photo. I chose one that was in color where Edward was sitting on a bench with his crooked smile. I printed it out and put it into my folder, now out of stuff to do. I decided to go and get some lunch since it was a little late for breakfast.
As I reached the "food court" I noticed that almost everyone at S.B.A was there. I headed into a cute little sub place, but when I came back out I couldn't find a place to sit. I was about to give up as someone behind me called my name.
"Bella, over here," Alice screamed, waving her arms. I grimaced, what was with these people? I would have rejected her offer to sit with them, but I didn't think there were any other seats available. I sat down and looked around at everyone's curious faces.
"Come on Bella, aren't you going to tell us about you?" Alice asked.
"What do you want to know?" I asked skeptically.
"When's your birthday?" she asked. Ok, I could tell them my birthday.
"December 18th," I said, picking up my sub.
"What's your favorite color?" Edward asked. These questions were not what I was expecting, but I was glad these were the ones they were asking.
"Yellow or black," I said smiling. Edward raised his eyebrows.
"Do you like bees?" he asked, curious.
"Nope, I'm deadly afraid of them," I said, honestly.
"Then why do you like yellow and black?" he wondered.
"Yellow is bright and happy and black…well why wouldn't you like black?" I said. He seemed to take this answer in as Emmett asked the next question.
"Do you have any brothers or sisters?" he asked. I winced just a tiny bit, but they all noticed.
"I had a brother," I said. Alice was about to ask another question, but Edward interrupted.
"Had?" he asked? Damn him.
"He died," I said, not willing to go any farther into my past. Edward seemed to sense that was as far as I was going to go because he returned his attention to Alice.
"See it isn't that hard to open up to people," Alice grinned.
"I don't consider that opening up and just because it's easy doesn't mean I'm going to do it," I said. Everyone seemed shocked, but they quickly composed themselves.
"What is your problem?" Rosalie asked.
"What are you talking about?" I asked, innocently.
"Why are you hiding yourself from everybody?" she said, rudely.
"I'm not," I said, walking away from the table. I knew those people were trouble, I'm going to stay away from them. I have worked very hard to hide from my past and I have no intentions of changing that now, I knew better than to make friends even if they seemed nice.
