A/N: I know, I'm sorry! But here's a chapter for you! :) It's quite a good one as well! :D

Happy reading!

Chapter Four:

The next few days were crazy. My Dad was all fluttery (yes, fluttery) trying to make sure everything was in place for the concert on Saturday. I hadn't performed in a while, so I was slightly nervous. Jess and Angela were getting more excited by the day. I'd have to make sure they got an autograph at the weekend.

I had to go up to Seattle on Friday afternoon to do a rehearsal for the show. They say, 'rehearsal' and then all that really happens is they do a sound check and make sure I know what I'm doing in the actual show. I had no idea how I was supposed to get myself around that.

School was strange. Well stranger than it had been.

Edward had been talking to me fine on Monday; it was almost as if I could count him as my friend. But then, Tuesday he'd gone right back to not talking to me. He sat as far away from me in Biology as he possibly could, and then as soon as the bell rang signalling the end of the hour, he was out of his seat.

I'd had enough on Thursday afternoon. What had I even done to the boy?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

He had no reason, no reason at all to get mad at me, or to not want to talk to me.

I'd decided that I was going to talk to him in Biology and demand what I'd done wrong.

I'd probably chicken out as soon as I got there, but for now I was determined that's what I was going to do.

"Hey Ange?" Jess called across the table at lunch time.

"Hmm?"

"What are we doing tomorrow?"

I sat there picking at my food, not that I was even sure what I was eating.

"Um. Didn't you say something about leaving school early?"

"Oooh." Mike and Tyler said together.

"You know you're not supposed to do that." Tyler grinned at Jess.

"Yeah, because that stops you ditching almost every class you do Tyler doesn't it?" She narrowed her eyes at him.

"That. That is different."

I laughed quietly.

"It is not." Jess turned her head back to Angela. "Yeah, well we could just go after 3rd hour."

"Yeah, whatever." Angela went back to eating her lunch.

"Is that all you do?" I pushed whatever I was eating away from me, having suddenly lost my appetite.

"What, Bella?" Jess asked.

"Leaving school early. I, er, have a Dentist appointment tomorrow and I've got to leave school early as well." I'd always been a terrible liar, so I hope it didn't show through. That would have been bad.

"You could just go. Or you could get your Dad to ring up or something." Jess shrugged. "They won't care whatever happens."

"Huh, 'Kay. Thanks." I smiled.

"Bella?"

I sighed internally, as the annoying voice also known as Mike spoke to me, for the at least 100th time today. When was he going to get the message?

"Yeah?" I answered him without taking my eyes off the table.

"Your Dad is that famous dude right?"

I looked up at him, just as everybody's eyes zeroed in on me at the table. "What?"

"Robby Ray. The singer. He's your Dad…"

I narrowed my eyes at Mike, and it took all of my strength to not hiss at him.

Stupid ignorant boy.

"Really, Bella?" Jess asked.

"Um. Yeah."

It's true. Dad had also been a famous singer, back in the late 80's early 90's or something. He'd had a few hits, and a couple albums, sell-out tours, blah blah blah. After hearing about it zillions of times, you tend to zone out.

"That's so cool!"

I sighed.

"Why do you live here, and not in LA or something?"

Yeah, why don't I?

"My Dad's not famous anymore I'm surprised you even knew who he was." I looked at Mike again.

"I didn't. My Dad saw him." Mike looked embarrassed; I pressed my lips together to stop laughing. "I just wanted to see if it was true."

"Yeah, well it is."

The bell rang, saving me from any further questions about my Dad's questionable pop career.

I walked to Biology with Jess and Angela as usual, but said goodbye to Jess as she made her way to her lesson.

Edward was already at our desk. Surprise.

I wasn't going to chicken out of this. I had to know what I'd done wrong to him.

I made my way over to the desk, and sat down, getting my stuff out and throwing my bag on the floor. With a little too much force. Again.

Not only was I pissed off about being confronted about my Dad at lunch time, but also because of Edward. Idiot.

His position had changed at the desk today. He wasn't sitting as close to the edge of the table as before, in fact he was angled a bit more towards me today. The almost close contact, made my heart skip, and as soon as it did I thought I saw Edward's face lift up in a smile. As if he could hear it.

The lesson got started, and I tried to pay attention, although I had an almost strange feeling Edward was watching me. It didn't scare me, like it should. Of course it didn't.

After being set some work, which of course I all knew, since I'd studied it in Tennessee.

"Bella…" Edward whispered.

I turned to look at him, and he frowned. "What?" I snapped.

He flinched back from the obvious venom in my voice. "So, now you're talking to me?"

"When was I not talking to you?" He leaned forward slightly.

"Oh. Um, those days called Tuesday and Wednesday. Yeah, that's what they're called." I sighed angrily and went back to the work I was supposed to be doing.

"You know that it's for your own good that we're not friends."

I turned back to glare at him. "What is that supposed to mean?!"

"I'm not a good person to be friends with." His golden eyes, glared right back at me.

"Isn't that up to me?"

Edward stopped glaring, and his eyes softened slightly. "Maybe." He flashed a smile, and I swear I stopped breathing.

The bell rang signalling the end of class, and Edward stood up along with everybody else. It surprised me that he didn't rush out like he normally did. "Good luck at the Dentist tomorrow, Bella." He winked at me and then walked out of the classroom.

I didn't even want to think about how he knew I was going to the 'dentist'. But then again, what didn't he know?

xoxoxo

The rest of the day went faster than I expected.

Brad still hadn't given me a key to his piece of junk he calls a car, so I was standing in the rain, again.

Maybe I should take Brad's advice and learn to drive.

Yeah, right.

I pulled my hood up over my hair, and stuffed my hands deep in the pocket of my jacket.

"Cold?" I jumped at the sound, and looked up to see Edward standing in front of me, grinning.

"Hmm." Was the response I came up with. "Shouldn't you be driving your family home?"

"No. They left already."

"But doesn't that mean that - "

He cut me off. "They brought a different car."

Oh. "Oh." I smiled weakly.

"Are you waiting for your brother?"

"No. I thought it would be fun to stand next to a random car, in the cold and rain."

Edward laughed, and the sound made my go all light headed.

As soon as I could talk again. "Yeah. He's always late. He probably gets in trouble or something." I laughed.

Edward smiled. "Don't you have your own car?"

"No. I can't drive."

His lips pressed together in a tight line, he was trying not to laugh. "Why?" He managed to choke out.

"There's not point. My brother drives, and my daddy drives." Did I just say the word daddy? Oh. My. God. I carried on, hoping he hadn't noticed, but by the look on his face he probably had. "Plus, My Dad says I'll probably be an awful driver." I looked down at the floor.

"Okay." I looked up at Edward, who was smiling. "Your Brothers coming. I'll see you tomorrow." He called on his way back across the parking lot.

"Bye." I whispered. But he'd gone.

"Hey, B." Brad grinned at me.

"Ugh. Just drive home please. I am cold, and wet."

"Sorry. I had a bit of trouble with my Math teacher."

"What did you do now?" I sighed. "You will be Daddy's least favourite person if you don't graduate. I can't put up with you at home for another year, while you re-take."

"Haha. Why was Cullen talking to you?" Brad asked as he pulled out of the school parking lot.

"He just was. How is it your concern?" I glared at Brad.

"It isn't. He's just….weird."

"You don't even know him, Bradley. So stop it."

Why was I suddenly defending Edward? Oh yeah, because I liked him. Stupid girl.

"Woah, calm down B. I'm sorry!"

"Yeah, whatever."

I guess I'd only just noticed, but everybody seemed to think that Edward was strange or different. No-body paid him the same attention, or talked to him as much as I had done over the past few days. It was….sad. What had he, or any of his family ever done to deserve that kind of treatment at school?

Sure, Edward had decided he didn't want to talk to me for two days, and maybe hadn't been at school for two weeks because of me, but why didn't anybody else like him?

The simple answer was, they were different. And in a town like Forks, different doesn't go down well.

One more reason to just love living here.

I knew there was something different about him, and it was becoming more and more apparent that he was hiding something. Something big. I was now sure, that I wasn't the only one with a secret. But the real question, was who's was the bigger secret? I guess I'd have to find out…
