Author's Best Friend's Note:As some of you may have realized, which probably none of you have, this is not Connie aka I-really-do-bite. This is her best friend Kelsey aka twilighters-anonymous. Connie is left today during school to go to Alabama for her cross-country nationals, so if any of you live in Alabama and you see a short, thin girl with short/spiky black hair running, who reminds you of Alice Cullen, then it's probably Connie. Just yell, "Hey Connie!" and see if she answers or you know, you could just trip her. That would be okay too. Anyway, back to why I'm here. Since Connie won't be back until Monday (yes I know, I might die without her!) she decided that since she already has the second chapter, she would just have me update it. So, here it is! Enjoy! And go check out my stories! (Yes, I am not ashamed of a little healthy promotion of my stories.)Oh, and I think this takes place during Bella's senior year at Forks High School (she never jumped off the cliff).

Chapter 2: Hello

(Bella's POV... obviously)

Biology class. Oh, wow. This class brought back memories. The door opened as I was finishing my Spanish homework. I didn't look up. Whoever it was, they weren't going to sit by me. In my changing I had gained beauty...let's just say that I am surrounded completely by boys wishing they had a date, but hey, once you've been with Edward, you don't go human.

Mr. Banner spoke, "Class, we have a returning student. Welcome back Edward."

I started laughing. Great, just great. Everyone glanced my way but I just laughed, shook my head, and said, "Wonderful," in a very sarcastic tone.

Mike, who sat behind me now, said he thought I was still madly in love with "Cullen". I glared at him. We didn't speak much. After a couple of beatings with a bar of soap in a tube sock, Mike learned to keep his mouth shut. Since I discovered my power, I found that I had no patients for humans. They lied about everything. EVERYTHING.

Automatically, out of habit, I broke into his mind, analyzing his thoughts, every action he took, every breath that came out of his mouth, every word that he said, and coded out its meaning. I did all of this unnoticeably, still conjugating Spanish verbs. Even he didn't know his mind was being broken into.

The lunch bell rang, I had 4th period Biology, and had "somehow" gotten all fifth period for lunch. Not that I ate anything. My sister was with me. She wasn't really my sister, I had found her wandering on the road. Her name was Anna, but people around where I found her called her "Jewel of Death"...so I shortened it to JD. We pretended it was her initials, so of course, people in Forks call her Jewel DeNino...yeah...she's "Italian".

She has a cool power too, and I have a theory about that, but that is for another time. She is an Elementum. She controls elements, and other substances like poison. She just wills it and *poof* there is a fireball in her hand, or a poison dart in the ground.

JD was sitting next to me when Edward walked up.

"Bella, could I please speak to you for a moment?" he asked.

"No," I replied.

"Why?"

"Go away."

"Bella," he pleaded.

"What?" I stared at him.

"I'm sorry."

"Go away." I shook my head.

He looked at JD. "Hello," he smiled.

"Hmmph," she turned and looked at her book.

"I'm sorry," he whispered. He turned and walked away.

"You should be," I said.

Author's Best Friend's Note:Kelsey again! Connie says, "Don't worry, it will get better! Just puttin' in some drama!" I promise if she does anything bad (like kill someone! Again!) I will personally kill her in her sleep, if her cat doesn't do it first, (seriously! She has a deranged and evil cat! It hates me!) Okay, so, until the next time she lets me write! BYE!!!!!! :-P
