For the first time since I had arrived at Forks it was a bright sunny day.
I smiled to myself as I looked out my bedroom window at the sun beaming down on my car.
A sunny day was perfect. Just what I needed.
I got ready and put on the most summer looking dress I could find in my wardrobe.
I skipped down the stairs, humming to myself as I went into the kitchen to get my lunch.
My Dad was sitting at the kitchen table eating his breakfast.
"Someone is in a good mood considering they were nearly hit by a van the other day." He said to me.
"Yes well it didn't hit me and now it's a lovely sunny day." I smiled at him.
He smiled back at me.
"Are you sure you didn't hit your head hard?" He said.
I raised an eyebrow and shook my head.
I kissed him on the forehead as I left the house.
Jessica was looking at my small scar on my forehead.
"You were quite lucky really." She said.
"Yes I know." I said, annoyed that people kept mentioning that fact.
"Good job Edward was there." Jessica said.
I nodded.
The two of us were sitting outside on a bench in the school gardens. Most of the kids from school were here, making the most of the sunny weather.
I say most kids as I hadn't seen any of the Cullens all day.
I was looking behind Jessica to see if they were coming late to lunch but still no luck.
Jessica looked at me.
"They are not here." She said bluntly.
I looked at her confused.
"The Cullens. Whenever it's sunny Dr and Mrs Cullen take them hiking." She informed me.
I mouthed oh.
"So... How was your date?" I asked her, forgetting about Edward.
Jessica sighed.
"Not great." She said, pouting a little.
"Why?"
"He just didn't seem interested. I really made an effort, laughing at all his crap jokes and everything but he was so distant." Jessica told me.
I raised an eyebrow.
"But Mike asked you out?" I said.
"Yeah. Angela reckons he likes someone else and he was using me as a cover up." She said, looking sad.
I shook my head.
"Nah that can't be right." I said.
The pain continued racing through my whole body and I screamed as loud as I possibly could.
The red eyes stared back and me, and his lips pulled back over his teeth in an evil smile.
All of sudden the door swung home and the light shone through.
Despite all the pain, I shut my eyes as the room filled with a bright light as the man in front of me sparkled.
My eyes shot open.
My breathes were deep and regular as it hit me.
As everything came flooding to me.
I didn't fall back to sleep.
I couldn't. A million and one things were running through my head as I tried to fit all the pieces together properly.
They shouldn't have fit, yet they did. Perfectly.
My Dad knocked on my bedroom door.
"You up, Quinn?" He said.
I nodded and sat up in bed.
"Any more dreams?" He asked, sitting on the edge of the bed.
"No." I lied.
"Good." My Dad whispered.
Then he left my bedroom.
He wasn't one to ask many questions.
I drove silently to school and sighed that the weather was back to its usual miserable self.
I couldn't shake the butterflies stirring in my stomach.
Was I being stupid?
Was I going to have this fear forever?
I parked my car in its usual place and reached over for my school bag.
I fumbled around for five minutes when I heard a loud bang on the window.
I screamed as I turned to Alice looking at me.
"Oh My God, Alice!" I said, angrily.
"Did I make you jump?" She smiled.
I got out the car and slapped the door behind me.
"Yes you did." I said, sharply.
"Are you OK?" She asked me.
"Fine." I said, storming away from her.
I sat in biology class as the rest of my classmates filtered in.
Edward was pretty much the last person to enter the room and he took his seat next to me silently.
I didn't look at him.
"Morning." He said.
"Morning." I mumbled back.
The lesson went by quietly as I never said another word to Edward, or him to me.
After what seemed like a lifetime the bell rang and the room was filled with the noise of everyone leaving the classroom.
"Are you OK?" Edward asked me.
"Absolutely fine." I said, shoving my books into my bag aggressively.
"Yes you look fine." Edward said sarcastically, smiling the crooked smile which made me go weak.
"Oh shut up." I said, swinging my bag over my shoulder and going to leave.
Edward grabbed my arm and my whole body tingled as I felt his ice cold skin against mine.
"Quinn what's wrong?" He said, looking at me straight in my eyes.
"Nothing." I whispered as the tears began to sting my eyes.
He raised an eyebrow and I knew full well he didn't believe me.
I didn't see Edward or Alice for the rest of the day and I felt quite thankful of it as I got my car keys from my bag.
I looked up at my car and saw Edward standing against it.
I sighed an angry sigh and walked over to my car.
"Can I help you?" I said, trying to push past him with little success.
"We need to talk." He said.
"No we don't" I said, still trying to push past him.
He grabbed either side of my shoulders and I hung my head down so I didn't have to look at him.
No I wasn't going to be weak this time.
I looked up at him with a determined look on my face.
He looked back at me confused.
"I know what you are Edward Cullen."
