Disclaimer: Stephanie owns basically everything. BUT! I do own Edward.. when I'm dreaming ;-)

Sorry, it took me so long to update! But, I just got out of school so I'll have a lot more time to write.

Thanks for the 2 reviews from Kendye and fishylishy!

As I walked to Biology class I quickly started thinking of ways to make this easier for Edward.

I put on a turtleneck sweater this morning so it will cover the veins in my neck, arms, and wrists. There wasn't anything I could do with my hair to make this easier so I'll have to remember to stay still.

Damn I should've prepared more for this, I criticized myself.

When I walked in a breeze came threw the door with me and I saw Edward stiffen, like I knew he would.

I couldn't help but cringe not only at his glare but at the fact that I could practically feel his pain when I looked into his eyes.

This was going to be a long hour.

Half way in the middle of class and I'm in the bathroom.

I figured he could use a few minutes to breath in while I'm not there. Hopefully it'll let him get a little use to my scent.

I took out a small bottle of perfume from my purse (that I brought for this specific reason). After rolling down my sleeves and the part of the sweater that was covering my neck I sprayed those areas and then fixed the sweater. I'm hoping it'll cover my scent at least a little bit.

On the way to the biology room I couldn't help but feel guilty. I decided to tell Mr. Banner I wasn't feeling good and lay in the nurses' office the rest of the class period.

One problem. When I got there, Edward was gone.

I felt disappointed that I wouldn't see him for at least a week but pushed that back. I did feel relieved though, when I remembered that he wouldn't be suffering anymore.

The rest of the week went by slowly; most likely since I've been waiting for Edward's return.

Most of the week I spent deciding if I should talk to Alice now that Edward isn't here.

That is until I remembered she could see the future when she smiled and winked at me one day in the hall.

On the weekend after I finished homework, cleaned the house, and unpacked what little I had left in a box (including the Twilight books), I went over what was supposed to happen this week.

And now I'm on my way to lunch (avoiding snow balls, I might add) going over what's supposed to happen today in Biology, again.

The first time we talk to each other. I inwardly squealed like a little girl. I couldn't wait.

I know I can't give anything away yet, which will be hard but I'll have to try.

When I walked in the door I tried really hard not to look over at their table. It didn't work. In fact, that was the first thing I did when I walked in. And he was there.

When we sat down I kept looking over at him, and just like in the book the Cullens looked like they were in a movie.

And oh my goodness did he look, dare I say it, sexy when he flipped his snow covered hair out of his face and threw his back and laughed. At what I had no idea cause I was too busy looking at him.

Jessica giggled, probably at the look on my face, and Edward's head flicked over in our direction once again looking confused and frustrated at not being able to read my mind.

I smiled warmly at him, which made him look even more confused, before turning back to Jessica who looked shocked at my smile but shrugged it off which was surprising.

I swear I have no idea where this confidence came from but it's going to come in handy, that's for sure.

On the way to Biology Mike complained too much about the snow being gone to notice my excitement. I was practically bouncing with each step.

I sat down in my seat and doodled on my notebook, waiting for Edward to walk in.

I didn't look up when he walked in or when he walked next to me, but I did when the chair next to me moved.

"Hello," said his quiet musical voice.

His voice sounded like velvet, the most beautiful sound I've ever heard. And the small smile on his lips make me want to just crash my lips into his.

Holy crow! This boy is beautiful.

"Hi," I said shyly. Damn it, where did that confidence go?

He got a little stiffer with my blush, and I couldn't hate it more than I did now.

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

I almost shivered with pleasure at the way my name rolled off his lips.

"It's nice to meet you. Are you feeling better? You looked a little sick last week," I asked even though I knew what was really wrong. I didn't have to pretend to sound concerned. The affect he had on me already was amazing.

He looked shocked that I, a mere human, would ask that when I should shy away.

He was about to answer when he was interrupted by Mr. Banner explaining the lab to us.

"Ladies first, partner?" Edward asked. I looked up to see him smiling a crooked smile so beautiful I could only stare at him like an idiot.

Man, I thought, the book was supposed prepare me for this!

"Or I could start, if you wish." The smile faded; he was obviously wondering if I was mentally competent.

"No," I said, flushing. "I'll go ahead."

I didn't even think about showing off. I knew he would know the answers.

"Prophase." I said after a quick look at the microscope. "Would you like to look?" I asked before he could say anything.

"If you don't mind." He answered. I went to pass it to him and our fingers brushed. I couldn't stop myself from jerking my hand away. Not because of the coldness, but from the shock that passed through me.

"I'm sorry." he muttered, pulling his hand back immediately.

And it went like this for awhile, until we finished. We were the first ones finished, like I expected.

I tried not to look at him since we had nothing to do, but that didn't work so well.

I almost gasped when I finally noticed how beautiful his golden eyes were.

"Wow," I said breathlessly. "You have beautiful eyes." I said it almost to myself, but he heard. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

"Thank you." He look curious again, but I could see the amusement in his eyes.

I blushed. God, I'm such an idiot.

He looked like he was having trouble breathing again so I decided to distract him with conversation.

"So," I started. " I heard you moved here recently too?"

His eyes became guarded. "Yes."

"Oh." I looked away blushing. Okay so maybe that was the wrong thing to say.

Before I could say anything else Mr. Banner came up to our table.

"So, Edward, didn't you think Isabella should get a chance with the microscope?"

"Bella," Edward corrected automatically. "Actually, she identified three of the five."

Mr. Banner looked at me now; his expression was skeptical.

"Have you done this lab before?" he asked.

I blushed, "Yeah, with whitefish blastula. I was in an advanced placement program in Phoenix." I admitted sheepishly.

"Well," he said after a moment, "I guess it's good you two are lab partners." He mumbled something else as he walked away.

"It's too bad about the snow, isn't it?" Edward asked. I grasped at the chance to talk to him some more.

"Not really," I answered honestly. "I don't like the cold or the wet, but I'll get used to it." I smiled warmly at him.

"Why did you come here, then?"

"My mother got remarried last September. He plays ball so he moves around a lot. My mom wasn't happy so I moved up here so she could travel with him." I couldn't help but sound a little sad. I missed her.

"But now you're unhappy. That doesn't seem fair."

"Hasn't anyone ever told you? Life isn't fair."

"I believe I have heard that somewhere before," he added dryly.

He continued, "You put on a good show, but I'd be willing to bet that you're suffering more than you let anyone see." Though he looked sympathetic.

I grimaced, "Why does it matter to you?" I asked though I knew.

"That's a very good question.", he muttered.

I sighed scowling at the blackboard. Why can't we just talk normally already?

"Am I annoying you?" he asked.

"Not exactly. I'm more annoyed at myself. My face is so easy to read – my mother always calls me her open book." I frowned.

"On the contrary, I find you very difficult to read."

"You must be a good reader then." I smiled knowingly.

"Usually," He smiled widely, flashing a set of perfect, ultrawhite teeth.

The rest of class I attempted to listen to Mr. Banner while not looking at Edward, which didn't work out so well.

I could tell he was having trouble with my scent again when he clenched his fists and turned away from me.

I had more trouble in gym then usual, thinking about Edward mostly.

And when I was walking to my truck I saw Edward leaning against his silver Volvo and flashed a smile at him which he returned. It made my day.

The next morning I looked out the window and groaned in horror. Ice covered the road. And snow on the grass.

Today was the day of the accident.

I got dressed quickly, didn't bother having breakfast, and made it to school early to try and avoid the accident.

When I got there I got out of my truck and sat at a picnic table reading Wuthering Heights.

I just started reading when I heard a loud screech.

I looked behind me to see Tyler Crowley's van headed towards my car.

I couldn't help but cringe when it hit my car and the glass shattered everywhere.

That's when the screaming started.

"May I sit here?" Asked the smooth velvety voice that I loved. I looked up to see Edward's beautiful face looking down at me.

After Tyler was taken to the hospital, they towed his car away and I was able to check the damage on my truck. Surprisingly the only damage done was a huge dent on the back.

Half the school's population went to the hospital to see how he was doing. Since I knew he would be okay I decided to stay in school. I really didn't want to do any makeup work .

It took me a minute to realize that I was still staring at Edward. I blushed and nodded my head.

He grinned crookedly at me and said, "So how come you didn't go to the hospital with everyone else? It seems like anyone would take the chance to skip a day at school." He looked frustrated at the fact that he didn't know.

I tried to hide my smile at the cute look on his face and answered.

"Well I didn't want to have to make up work and Tyler will be fine."

My eyes widened when I realized I practically gave away that I knew what would happen and I tried to save myself.

"I um, I mean he should be fine. I think." Gosh, way to give yourself away Bella.

"Oh," he said looking confused at my reaction but dropped it. "So, what's your favorite color?" He grinned.

Edward continued to ask me questions at lunch and Biology. He then walked me to gym, which once again made my day.

On the way home I couldn't stop thinking about him. I was defidently falling for him.

Before I went inside I went to check the back of my truck for damage incase I missed anything.

I went around to the back and when I got there the dent was gone.

I had a feeling a certain bronzed-hair vampire used his inhuman strength to fix it for me.

I couldn't help but smile.

Okay. So it's a lot of stuff from the book but I promise that the rest of the chapters won't have that much Twilight quotes in it. Maybe a few quotes for the rest of the story but that's it. I have a lot of different ideas for other stories so I'll make sure to finish writing those at least half way before I start posting them and that way you won't have to wait more than a couple days for updates.

Reviews equal your love for Edward Cullen.

Love,
