Chapter 7

Bella's POV

I sat in Nick's lap when the bell rang. Guys, for some reason, were throwing envois glares at Nick. Photography class will be so easy. The teacher is a pushover to all the students as long as we do well with our photographs. So it would be fine for me to stay seated in his lap for the period, as long as we don't go over board with the make-out session….

This period went by fast so we were in lunch in what seemed like seconds. Nick separated with me as we entered the lunch room. He went to sit by his friends.

I went to sit by myself. I sat, with my food, and looked around the cafeteria for Dawn.

When I finally found her she looked torn on making a decision. I looked at where she glanced at and saw Cathy looking at Dawn expectantly. Poor Dawn!

Finally Dawn made her decision and sat by herself in an empty table.

I looked down ashamed. I knew Dawn hated sitting alone; it was one of the things that made her cry when she had no friends freshman year.

I glanced up and saw Cathy looking at me with the same ashamed expression. I looked back at Dawn and saw that her expression was one of her scariest looks: a glare that could freeze fire.

It was as if she was warning us that she will kill us- vampire or no vampire- of we made her sit alone for more then two days. Florence seemed to like skipping lunch and going on her own now so Dawn was really alone.

I bit my lip and looked down; afraid that if I looked at her any longer I would give in and say sorry.

I looked at my food with disgust. The slop on my food made eating my own flesh look good. I started to play with my food.

Okay, I thought, let's list the ways to get out of this situation A) Ignore them and get on with your lunch period B) Go up to them like a wussy and apologize or C) Find a way to the electrical box and turn off the lights for something to occupy my time…. All right C it is!

I started to get up, but then someone said, "Hello," from behind me. I whirled around and saw none other then Evil bronze haired vampire!

I glared at him and said, "Looking for your lunch?"

He looked appalled by my reference of lunch. "N-No I was just wondering…." The lights went off.

I was pissed. The one thing I want to do and then it happens! The lunch room was filled with screams and laughter. I growled under my breath, a habit I picked up from Cathy, and screamed over everybody so everyone could here me, "OH MY GOD! WHO IS THE GENIUS WHO TOOK MY IDEA...?" I paused for someone to answer. "IDIOTS!" It was so loud the people across the cafeteria were holding their ears. No microphone. Imagine the possibilities if I did have one!

There were a series of sorrys from the other side of the room. I went to glare over there and saw that Nick was looking down sheepishly. "WHAT!? NICK! YOU DID THIS!" I fumed.

He nodded sadly. I know he doesn't like upsetting me, no one does. My anger dulled and was replaced by awe. My frown changed to a huge, toothy grin. Nick looked up and a shocked look was on his face. I shouted to him, "HEY GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE! NO WONDER I LOVE YOU!"

Okay so that was a compliment and revenge. You see Nick doesn't like it when you admit you love someone in front of people. I never said anything of our love when he was in front of his friends and family, because it makes him uncomfortable.

"AAAAWWWWWWW!!!!" All the girls screeched.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH" Obviously the guys.

I smiled at Nick expectantly. If he didn't respond I'll have a mental break down and get my football friends to chase him. "I-I-I-I-I…. love you too…" Barely audible for me to hear but I heard it.

Another series of hooting and awing went through the cafeteria. "He's going to ask you why you made him say it. He thinks you hear it enough." Someone whispered in my ear. I looked over and saw my almost murderer inches from my face.

"Oh… so that's your power…." His face went in shock. Doesn't he know I know that vampires have powers? I guess not.

"What are you talking about?"

I pointed at myself. "Ex-best friend is a vampire. And you almost killed me."

"Oh… yeah…. As I said I'm sorry about that and can we just get over it?" He said nervously.

"Oh, yes because it's so simple. I can just forgive you for almost killing me." Sarcasm dripping in my voice. I turned to the hall and left toward my next class.

Edward's POV

She left me opened mouthed. That's the second time she could just not forgive me or not give me what I wanted, no female human is supposed to be able to do that.

It was weird when she said, 'I love you' to that boy. It made me feel a sudden urge to go up to the guy and punch him. I had to strain myself not to.

And yet she can just walk away from me as if I were nothing. It hurt. Bella didn't even wait till lunch was over, there is still 40 minutes left in this hour. But she walked out of here like there was no way for her to get caught.

Well she is interesting isn't she? And I'm going to find out more.

A/N: Sorry everyone I had to rush the end. I'm going to my father's and I had no time for touch ups!

P.S.-I'm sorry unleashmydormatheart! I had to get this out before I had to leave and I had no time to email it to you! So
