This morning, when I went to school, Jenn was jumping with joy about something. She came over to me and greeted me, "Hi Bella, you'll never guess what happened this morning!" I replied, "Hey Jenn, what happened this morning?" Jennifer said, "I'm going to the spring dance with James. He asked me this morning if I would like to go because he said I was his second chose. I don't know who he asked first because he didn't want to tell me, do you know who it was?" I was staring at the ground when I said, "Yes I do know who it is. I was just wondering how did James get my e-mail? I never gave it to him. Did you give it to him?" I was starting to get mad because he got my e-mail. Jenn said, "Sorry I did give it to him. Oh and who did he ask first?"
I stared at the ground and blushed, "He asked me first, but I made it clear I wasn't going. Also, I didn't want to hurt your feelings because I knew you like him. And I bet he doesn't really even like me." "Oh, I can see he likes you. Your pretty, smart, creative, a great cook-though he doesn't know that-your a bookworm, your caring, kind, responsible, trustworthy, and your an animal lover. Who wouldn't like you? If I was a boy then I would probably ask you out. He's head over heels for you," she laughed at the part where she said 'if I was a boy i would ask you out'.
Later that day at school, James was about to pass me in the hall, but stopped and took my wrist in his hand, and since no one was around he pulled me somewhere. My screams for help didn't work-no one would hear me, but someone did, he had golden eyes and bronze hair and his skin was like an albino's skin. He came racing over to us and told James to let go of me. James said "No. She's mine. She turned me down once, I'm not letting it happen again. You got that?" He sneered in his gruff voice. James was really scaring me. Just then, if you blinked you would have missed it, the bronze haired guy picked James up with the collar of his shirt and threw him into the lockers. Owch! That has got to hurt. I couldn't help but laugh because he got what was coming to him. The bronze haired guy turned to me and smiled like an idiot. "Would you like to tell me your name?" I asked him. He smiled "Edward-Edward Cullen. You must be Bella." I was shocked no one besides Jenn knew to call me that-without having me tell them. I was starting to like him. Didn't James ask if he was the one that caught my attention.
At lunch, Jenn asked me "What happened earlier? You weren't in class." "James tried to get to me when no one was in the halls, but luckily Edward Cullen was there to save me. Do you know him?" Jennifer frowned, "No, I didn't know Edward started back at this school. I thought he went to Seattle U last year but he probably failed or something." Then like she remembered something, she growled "Did you say James tried to get to you?" "Yeah he tried but didn't succeed" "Okay I'm not going to the dance with him anymore. I might ask Mike Newton if he would like to go with me. Are you sure your not going, it'll be fun." she promised. I didn't want to remind her that I can't dance, so I said "I'm visiting my mom that weekend, so have fun with whoever your going with." "Oh, so this doesn't have anything to deal with your dancing skills?" I grimaced, "Part of it is. You should know that, you've known me since I was eleven I think." Jenn laughed.
After lunch, I went to biology. I saw Edward Cullen sitting in the back-reading a book-with an empty seat next to him. I walked up to the teacher to ask where to sit and he pointed me to the empty seat next to Edward. He stiffened like someone hit him hard with something. A little later in class he would lean over to me and sniff me and I stiffened. He noticed and pulled away quickly. Once more it happened before class ended but instead of pulling away he whispered in my ear "When school is over, go to the silver Volvo in the parking lot. When you see me, follow me, OK?" I nodded a quick nod then until class was over, I watched him from the corner of my eye.
After school, I did what he told me to do. When I followed him somewhere in what seemed like a forest, he turned around, and his eyes were black. I thought, "Uh-oh, I need to run, but where he'll catch me I know it."
