Last chapter:

He opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something, but then the warning bell for homeroom struck across the parking lot, and I instantly grabbed at the chance to get away from this strange boy.

"Oh, well I'd better get going, thanks though" I said abruptly and walked as hurriedly as I could away without tripping over my feet.

Alrighty, well heres chapter two....

When the Moon Met the Sun

Chapter 2: Springtime Grass

My mind was in a hectic frenzy as I walked towards my first class of the day. What was that? Why did I have to choose to make a fool out of myself in front of the new kid? From the way I acted, I wouldn't be surprised if he thought I was some creepy sketch or something.

And what was with me? I couldn't say anything; I couldn't look at him and then when I did, I just stared at him! Then I ran away from the guy. Where was the New Bella, the one who would stop hiding and become noticed? Well, I guess I did become noticed, but this was definitely not what I had in mind. I know I've always been shy and not the greatest at talking to people, especially if they're strangers, but this was different. It was like I choked and ran away. Though I'd be lying if I said the only reason why I ran away was because of my embarrassing display of clumsiness, although that definitely was the main reason. But I was also weirded out by him; I mean, no one really notices me. And the way I swear I've met him before, or at least seen him before, it scares me a little. There's just something to him that creates a peculiar feeling in my stomach.

I huffed out a breath as I neared the door to my first period class, which was English. Throughout the entire time- when the teacher did his introductions and classroom expectations, all I could think about was that parking lot where I met him. Him. I didn't even know his name, yet it consumed my thoughts through all of class and while I was walking to my second period global class where my friend Angela caught up with me.

"Hey Bella, are you going to Global with…" she scanned her class schedule looking for the teacher's name, "Mrs. Clark?"

"Yep," I answered with a smile in reply to Angela's appearance. Even though it was only the first day of school, she looked frantic from all the stress school presents. "So how was your summer?"

"It was good. I babysat the twins a lot," she said quietly with a half smile playing on her lips as she reminisced in a memory or her brothers. Even though there was a big gap in age difference between Angela and her twin younger brothers, she always got along with them well.

Since neither of us were big talkers, we molded into a comfortable silence, and my thoughts, again, drifted off to the new, mysterious boy that had helped me up. As we were nearing the door to our classroom, Angela asked me if I could babysit her brothers next Sunday afternoon since she was unable to.

"Sure," I answer with a grin because her two brothers are the easiest kids I have ever babysat. Unlike others who can get out of control and be loud and messy, the twins are quiet and aren't a nuisance.

The rest of my morning classes went about in the same manor, people all around me greeting one another, saying how much they need to catch up soon, while teachers were laid back and let the students do whatever.

When lunch came around, I was already getting back into the routine that school brought. I sat down at my normal table from last year with Angela on one side of me and Jessica Stanley on the other side.

Since I was in the best part of my book, and I wasn't getting anywhere with the new and improved Bella front, I decided I'd work on that after lunch ended. My book was getting too good to give up right now.

After I got a couple pages into my book, it was apparent that Jessica was annoyed with the silence. She loved her gossip too much to not say anything. "Have you seen the new kids," Jess asked finally. My head instantly shot up from my book, knowing that she meant the boy that I had ran into in the parking lot. I hadn't known that he wasn't alone.

"Actually, I caught a glimpse of some of them right before I met up with you, Bella, when I was on my way to Global. Well, to be honest it was only one of them. The tall boy with kind of that bronze colored hair," Angela noted.

"That's it? Just that 'tall boy with kind of that bronze colored hair?' Are you kidding me? He's gorgeous! A fucking Greek god or something," she snorted and gave Angela a look like she was more than half out of her mind for thinking that.

I couldn't help but have one of the questions I've been asking myself answered, and so blurted out, "What's his name?"

"Edward Cullen," Jess sighed dreamily.

My head started to swim, his name flowing freely through my mind. Edward, hmm, it fits him. It went well with those green eyes and smile of his. I wanted more information about him.

"Where did he move from?" I asked, trying to feign nonchalance.

"Umm… I think he moved here with his twin sister, Alice, and an older brother, Emmett, and of course his parents. Emmett's only a year older than them and, I swear to god, I want to meet their parents. No one can produce kids that beautiful. But anyways, they're from somewhere like Phoenix or something along that line." She rolled her eyes and said, "Who even cares anyway? He's here now." And the way she gave this devilish grin, I knew that she was already after him. Trust me, you don't get in her way when she wants a guy, otherwise, if you do, you get destroyed. Really, it can get pretty nasty.

One time, last year she went after this kid named Mike Newton who's more on the popular side, and another girl, Victoria, liked him too. But Jessica won him because she let this rumor get started that Victoria had an STD. It was pretty bad; somehow her parents found out, or rather heard the rumor and refused to believe Victoria, and they sent her away somewhere. I think an all girls school in Chicago, but I'm not sure. All I know is that she no longer attends Forks High School. I feel really bad because, although she was kind of a slut, I don't believe that she deserved that at all.

You'd think that Jessica was this really badperson, but the thing is, she really isn't. Jess just gets jealous easily and a bit possessive when she wants someone or something badly. I've never really seen her be that mean before, but still, I never want to get on Jessica Stanley's bad side.

"So, have either of you talked to him yet?" I could tell Jessica was swimming for details, searching for a way to strike up a conversation with him while looking for any sign to see if Angela or I wanted Edward too.

I debated if I wanted to share my little encounter with my friends, but I decided against it. I felt that if I voiced my little parking lot scene, it wouldn't be as special and remarkable to me anymore. Saying it out loud would turn the memory into nothing and make me feel stupid for thinking about it so much. So all I said was "No."

Angela shook her head, too. And with that, she started scanning the lunch room, like a hunter hunting out its prey. She spotted him on the far side of the lunch room, near the windows, with his petite sister and what had to be his brother. (Really, I've never seen a guy about my age that was so big before.) Students were crowded around them like a herd of sheep, including Mike Newton. I hated how once something interesting and cool came along, everyone acted like it was the beginning of the world or something.

Edward was there in the middle, sitting on the top of the lunch table with his feet on the seat, talking with his sister. Whatever Edward had said to Alice, it caused her to break out into a fit of laughter. From halfway across the cafeteria, I could hear her giggles, which sounded like silver bells ringing so loud and clear, I could almost see them shimmering in front of me.

After a minute of the three of us staring, Angela went back to eating, and Jess continued gossiping about her newest obsession, but I unceasingly kept staring, observing the two of them converse. Watching Alice move in such graceful motions, it would put any ballerina to shame; watching the way Edward relaxes when Alice talked, but seemed slightly taut when Mike would comment on something. Then, without warning, he looked up from his sister, who was talking, and gazed directly at me. A slow, smooth smile emerged from his lips as he looked at me. It felt as if he was burning holes through me, peering through my eyes and looking deep into my soul. Alice noticed he wasn't paying attention any longer, and followed his stare to me, and she too, grinned. By this time, my cheeks were burning with blush. Embarrassed, I looked quickly away and back to my book that was held open to my page under my right hand, and letting my hair sweep down over my shoulder, concealing my face from view.

I tried to read what was on the pages, but I couldn't. My mind was elsewhere. I was embarrassed they caught me staring; I must have looked like an idiot, someone gawking so openly at them.

When the bell rang, I made my way to biology with Angela, which I was excited about. Biology has always been my strongest subject, for some reason, things just always clicked in that class. Since Mr. Banner, our teacher, didn't say anything, we sat wherever we wanted, and I chose a spot in the middle of the class next to Angela.

Before the late bell rang, Edward sauntered in, with Mike only a few steps behind. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Edward walk behind me, and into one of the only remaining seats, which was right behind me. The last open seat was in front of Angela, and Mike made his way over to it. As he pulled his seat back, he nodded at me, and with a smile said, "Hey Bella."

I was so shocked that he had addressed me that all I could push out of me was a tiny smile and a meager "Hello" that was barely audible. I was so confused as to why he was talking to me. No one noticed me. I always had blended into the background without question, and now, suddenly, it's as if I'm on display or something. It felt so odd, seeing as Mike and I never talked until we got paired up together last year to work on an English project and even then, that was it.

Angela gave me a sideways view, smirking at me like she knew something I didn't. Since I had no idea what was happening I just looked forward when Mr. Banner called the class to attention. "Alright class, don't get too comfortable with those seats, I'm making a seating chart for tomorrow." Although some class members groaned in reaction, I didn't mind because it just meant that he was a no nonsense teacher. I liked that, thinking we'll have no problem getting along. Okay, and I also had to admit that it also meant that I didn't have to sit in front of Edward.

I had a faint blush on my cheeks and was glad he couldn't see, but I didn't like him sitting behind me. I felt exposed, but I had no idea as to why.

When the class ended, I said goodbye to Angela and walked quickly out the door before I could run into Edward. I still felt embarrassed over this morning and I didn't want to have to speak to him. I was making my way down to the dreaded class of P.E. when I felt someone walking next to me. Blood instantly ran to my face, thinking that somehow Edward was beside me now, but when I heard "Hey, Bella," I knew it was only Mike.

"Err, hi there Mike." Why is he talking to me? He never talked to me.

"Are you on your way to P.E.," he asked me. And the weird part was, I think he actually wanted to know. He wasn't just trying to be nice or just filling up the time walking in between classes.

"Yeah, I am." I gave him a small smile for his kindness.

"Great, we can walk together. So Bella how was your summer? Did you do anything fun?"

The trip to the gym continued like this, Mike supplying the conversation, and I providing murmurs here or there. It wasn't as bad or embarrassing at all, actually. For Mike never talking to me before today, he was awfully nice.

When we got there, Coach Clapp said we didn't have to change into our clothes until Wednesday, and it being only Monday, I was grateful for the two days of relief from the games. I went to the bleachers where we were directed to sit and as more people began to enter, the spaces were starting to fill up, and before I knew it, Alice Cullen was sitting beside me.

Alice smiled and stared at me until I looked back and smiled in return.

"Hi, I'm Alice," she says in a perky, musical voice.

"Hey, I'm Bella." There was something warming about Alice that had me keeping my smile in place. She was the type of person who you knew you wanted to be friends with. Where you could tell that you'd be the best of friends, and I wanted that with her. I could see that she wasn't some stuck up bitch or anything and there was something to her aura that I liked. So when Coach Clapp finished early, I filled my time with talking to Alice, which I found to be easy and effortless.

As we walked out the doors to the parking lot, I asked her if she needed a ride home.

"Oh, no, that's alright. My brother, Edward has a car, he's driving us home. Thanks though," she said as we reached our cars. Her brother's car was only a couple spots away from mine. No wonder he saw me fall.

Just as I was about to say goodbye to Alice, Edward materialized next to her. As quickly as he appeared, my blush made an appearance also.

"Oh, hey Edward, this is Bella, my new friend," Alice smiled and giggled a little at the prospect of earning another friend. I reddened, my face heating now that all attention is focused on me. It didn't help that Edward Cullen was staring at me again, making me feel all warm and tingly inside. When he stares at me like that, it feels as if everything pales and fades into the background besides him, and those vivid green eyes of his that seem so familiar to me. The brilliant green of his eyes reminded me of fresh grass in the springtime, where you love to run through it barefoot, wanting to soak up the sun and feel each blade between your toes. Looking into his eyes, I could almost smell it. And I loved the feeling.

This time, instead of looking away like I would normally do, I held his gaze. I didn't turn away and hide behind my hair or runaway. With a smile playing on the edges of my lips, I couldn't hold it back as it spilled into a wide smile that showed my teeth. "Hi," I said directly to him.

He smiled in return. I loved his crooked smile that glowed. "Hello there, Bella."

When he said my name, I reverted back to my old ways. The spark of confidence I had gained had left me, with the shy, self conscious girl remained. My eyes drifted back down to my shoes once he uttered my name in that voice of his, but my smile remained. There was something deeper than just civility and amusement in the way he greeted me, but I couldn't decipher the meaning.

"Well, I better get going. I guess I'll see you tomorrow Alice," I said and glanced up at her, noting the way she smiled as if she held a secret. "Goodbye, Edward." My cheeks flamed more so after uttering those words. I wanted to get into the confines of my car, into the safeness of the beat-up leather seats.

"See you around, Bella," Edward said in an almost mysterious tone.

I climbed into my car and snuck a final look at the two of them as they headed over to their car. Even though both of their backs were to her, I could tell that by the way Alice was bouncing up and down that whatever Edward had said to her had made her excited.

My mind drifted back to his closing words to me. What did that mean? Would he really be seeing me around? Did he want to see me? I asked myself these questions as I was buckling my seatbelt. But then, I remembered as I started my car and drove out of the lot, that we are in the same biology class, which means we will indeed be seeing each other again. A hint of a smile lingered on my lips as I thought about the prospect on my way home.
