AN Thanks again for all the reviews! I am super psyched every time I get an email to my phone saying there's a new one and my brain starts working out plot lines so you all have an immediate effect on the progress of this fic. So unfortunately, this chapter has a little bit of regurgitation from the movie but hopefully because of the prospective it's written in you can still enjoy it. Bear with me this chapter as it will stray farther from the original plot from here on out. Mostly :D

I would recognize her voice anywhere. I feel like I've heard it a thousand times repeating in my mind. Edward's eyes meet mine and we share a look as we take our seats at our usual table where our trays of food will sit untouched for the next 20 minutes of our lunch period. Glancing off to my right, I see her. At a table with several other students, some of which I recognize and a couple I don't, she sits. They appear to be filling her in on the strangeness of me and my family, and for the first time it actually bothers me a little.

"They're um…Doctor and Mrs. Cullen's foster kids. They moved down here from Alaska, like, a few months ago." The girl talking to her I recognize as Jessica. Could Bella not have found anyone else in this school to ask about us? No, instead she's asks the one person currently holding a grudge with a member of our house-hold. Not too long ago she asked, well more like insisted, Edward to ask her out on a date. Let's just say she didn't react well when Edward scoffed in her face before she could even finish her sentence. I hide a smirk behind my hand at the memory and take another glance over towards their table only to lock eyes with Bella. She shoots me a half smile and turns back towards her table of gossipers.

"They kind of keep to themselves." Another girl, this one I recognize as the girl that takes pictures for the school paper, but I've never met her.

"Yeah, cause they're all totally weird. Um, the blond girl, that's Rosalie, and the big, dark haired guy Emmett? They're together. Like together, together. I'm not even sure that's legal." Across the table from me, I watch as Rosalie rolls her eyes and Emmett stifles a chuckle.

"Jess, they're not actually related," the other girl interjects once again.

"Yeah, but they live together. That's weird. Anyway the totally gorgeous guy is Edward Cullen, but apparently nobody here's good enough for him." Jessica put a little venom in her voice on that one. She's definitely still holding that grudge. "Like I care, ya know? So yeah, seriously, don't waste your time." I cast my eyes over to Edward and giggle lightly as the amused look on his face melts into one of indignation at Bella's next words.

"Wasn't planning on it." And she spit them out like she was affronted by the mere suggestion. As my laughter tapers off I look over to her again to find she's been watching me the last few seconds, but as I catch her she turns back to whisper conspiratorially once more.

"So who's she?"

"The little dark haired girl? That's Alice. She's really weird."

The bell signaling the end of lunch rings and we make our way out of the cafeteria. Edward and I part ways with Emmett and Rosalie. As we're heading towards our next classes, he bumps me gently with his elbow.

"So that's Bella? The one from the vision?" He smirks at me and I smile brightly back at him.

"Yep, that's her." I bounce cheerfully down the hall next to Edward. He appears as if he wants to say something more, but instead he gives a slight shake of his head, shoots me a quick smile and we part ways as well.

As I head for my English class, I'm struck with a vision.

Edward. He's sitting in a class room. It looks like Biology. Bella enters the room and introduces herself to the teacher. A fan blows steadily at the door. As the air heads into the room towards Edward, I can see his hunger rise. He does a terrible job of covering it, but he manages to maintain control. Bella looks slightly offended as she takes her seat and whispers over to him.

"What is your problem man?"

"I must have ate something bad at lunch. I'm not feeling so good." He lies to her and she lets it go, not caring beyond that.

My vision flashes through the rest of class and I'm relieved to see he maintains control throughout, though he is in extreme discomfort and as the bell rings he runs for the door.

The vision is worrisome, but as nothing too terrible happens and I'm already about to be late class I decide he's just going to have to persevere through it.

At the end of the day I head out into the parking lot. Today Edward and I had driven together and Rosalie and Emmett had come in Emmett's Jeep. I'm leaning against the car waiting for him when I spot Bella emerging from the front doors of the school. Some of the other students are saying goodbye to her and she smiles back at them, but it doesn't seem to reach her eyes. She rubs her temples with her fingers as she climbs into her truck and starts it.

Finally, I notice Edward exiting the building and push myself away from the car. I swing my arms slightly as I skip over to the passenger side and wait patiently for Edward to open the doors. His body is rigid and tense.

"Rough day?" I ask him as we climb into the car. He closes his door and takes a beat before he answers me.

"You could say that. It seems I share a class with your Bella. Biology in fact. Alice, there is something strange about that girl. I can't read her. It's just blank. Blocked. And that's not the only weird thing about her either. I almost lost control sitting by her. Her scent. It's so…strong. And good."

"I know, I saw it in a vision."

"Well thanks for the warning." He pretends to be angry for all of five seconds as we exit the lot before shooting me a half smile.

"You should hunt tonight Edward. I'll join you. I haven't been out for a while." At that, Edward inserts a CD of classical music and we enjoy a quiet ride the rest of the way home.
