Hey guys! Since the last chapter I posted was a little short, I thought that I'd update once more just for the heck of it. Enjoy!

Chapter 4: Clues and an Answer

All my classes before lunch were over before I knew it. Now it was lunch time and I wondered if Edward would do something different today at lunch. My question was quickly answered…because Edward Cullen was sitting at a different table then yesterday, alone. He was also gesturing toward me to come and sit by him! I quickly excused myself from sitting by Emma, Ryan, and all their friends, and headed over to the table that he sat at. I sat down, across from Edward, and started at him, and he at me. I took in every single feature of his face and I'm guessing he was doing the same. His face looks so…angelic!

I continued looking at him, and I noticed he looked like he was confused and baffled about something involving me. I suddenly started blushing, so I quickly looked away and started eating. He however…did not. He suddenly gave me his perfect, crooked, smile and asked" So…how is your day going?" I thought of an answer and replied," Fine, so far, yours? Edward had a casual look on his face now. I looked back up at him and he said," Pretty much the same as it always is." I didn't know what to day after that, so I just went back to eating, while Edward stared at me. Strangely…he wasn't eating…just like the other day. I stored that piece of information back in my head to think about later.

I continued eating, until I suddenly wondered something. I asked Edward," So…why were you sitting alone before and not at your normal table?" He then had a sad look on his face and answered," They don't approve of us…being together. I really shouldn't be anyway, but I just can't ignore you anymore." I was shocked, and baffled at his answer and asked," Why don't they think we should be together or even sit together?" He chuckled and answered in a grave, and almost dangerous voice, "You wouldn't believe me if I told you. You also might agree with them and wouldn't trust me enough to explain."

I was still confused. I also had another question, so I asked," Who are the people sitting at your table and why would I agree with them?" He looked at my confused expression and answered," They are my brothers and sisters by adoption. Everyone in our family is adopted." He then pointed to one of the boys and said," That's Jasper", he pointed to the other muscular boy and said, "That's Emmet", he pointed to the girl with blonde hair and said," That's Rosalie, or Rose", then he pointed to the other girl with the short, black hair and said," And that's Alice,".

I was shocked. "Wow…you have a lot of unrelated siblings. How do you live with them? I can barely live with mine!" I asked, still shocked. He chuckled and answered," You learn to live with them eventually, and even learn to like them, surprisingly." I answered," I won't learn to like mine most likely." Edward chuckled at my response and I blushed. Then I remembered something and said," You still didn't answer the second part of my question." He looked gravely at me and said," Let's just say…you'd see me as a whole different person." I wondered what he meant by that, but I ignored my curiosity for now.

Soon I was done eating and we both left the table, with Edward's tray still untouched. He surprisingly walked me to History, which was my next class. When we reached the door he said," See you in Biology!", then he walked to his next class. I wasn't feeling to social toward anyone else today, so I sat by myself…at least until Ryan decided to come sit by me. Ryan smiled at me and said," Hey Alicia!" I didn't want to answer, but I didn't want to be rude, so I replied," Hi, Ryan." His face lit up when I talked to him. As his face lit up I noticed something… Ryan liked me…but more than a friend. I groaned. Sure I liked him, and he was kinda cute, but I didn't like him in that way. I didn't want to hurt him with the truth, so I didn't tell him. Then, thank God, the teacher started talking, so I didn't have to think about it.

History was finally over, so I left quickly, before Ryan had a chance to talk to me. I walked quickly to English. Once again, I sat by myself, and this time it stayed that way. I wasn't really paying attention to the teacher because I was too anxious for this class to be over. Because after this class came Biology, and I would see Edward in Biology! Finally English was over and I quickly left. I suddenly tripped on my own, clumsy, feet, but I caught myself before I fell. After that I kept on going to Biology. I finally got there, without any more accidents, and my eyes searched for Edward Cullen.

I finally found him and went and sat next to him. When I was seated, I started getting my book, notebook, and pencil out of my book bag. As I was setting my stuff on my desk, I accidentally dropped my pencil and it fell onto the floor in between Edward and I. I reached down for it and apparently…so did Edward, because our touched as we both grabbed the pencil. I noticed his skin was…cold as ice! Holy crap! Does he even know how cold his hands are? As soon as Edward noticed my hand was touching his skin, he quickly took my pencil and put it on my side of the desk, removing his hand from mine. He was still friendly and acted mostly the same after that, but he was a little more cautious and careful not to let me touch his skin again. I added that moment to the strangeness about him.

After Biology was over, Edward offered to walk me to the Gym and I accepted. As we were walking Edward saw Emmet a ways away and excused himself for a moment. After a little bit Emmet left, so I started walking towards Edward, who was a little ways away. As I was walking, I stupidly tripped over my own clumsy feet again, but this time I couldn't stop myself from falling, so I closed my eyes and braced myself, but I never hit the floor. With my eyes still closed I used my senses to figure out what happened and noticed that I pair of ice cold hands were around me, so I knew it was Edward who had caught me. How did he catch me so fast…he had like…less than a second! I thought about this and mulled it over. I wasn't letting this strange thing get by him this time.

I looked at Edward who had startled look on his face and his eyes were… almost like he didn't believe what he had done in front of me. Edward noticed me looking at him, and let go of me, noticing his hands were touching me and asked," Are you alright?" I nodded, embarrassed to have tripped in front of him and asked," How did you catch me so fast? You were even near me!" He thought for a second, looked confused and answered," Alicia…I was right next to you." I shook my head and said very sternly," No you weren't." Then he shrugged his shoulders and said," Whatever you say…" I thought about what happened after he caught me. He's trying to use a cover up, and hoping I'll believe him. But I know what happened, and I will get to the bottom of this. He walked me the rest of the way to Gym and said," See you at lunch tomorrow!" Then he hurried off to his next class, before could question him some more. Now I knew something strange was up.

I quickly changed for gym in the locker room and went out into the gym. I started to horribly play Badminton, so my partner just took over for me. While I was standing there, my arms started to hurt, for no reason at all that I knew about. As soon as Gym was over, I went to change into my long-sleeved shirt that I had worn today, grabbed my stuff, and headed out to my truck.

When I got in I lifted up my sleeves, and saw one bruise on each arm. That was strange…usually I would recall getting these injuries, but I don't remember receiving them in Gym. It must have happened…before…I gasped as I realized they were from when Edward caught me! Now that I looked closer…they were in the shape of his hands. So…Edward is impossibly fast and strong, his skin was pale white and ice cold, and he didn't eat lunch, even though he took food to eat. It's time I got to the bottom of this. I started my truck and drove straight home.

When I got home I ran upstairs and turned my laptop on. As soon as it was on I went on Google and typed in, "impossibly fast and strong, with pale white and ice cold skin". It came up as a couple of things, but there was one that showed up more so I clicked on it and read the article. I read it, and was in disbelief. I couldn't believe it…mostly everything in the article described the weird actions of Edward Cullen.

It was impossible and weird…but it explained why he acted that way when I started noticing things about him. So that's what he was talking about at lunch today. That explains it. It was a little frightening, but only the shock of it. The truth was…I didn't care what he was. If he wanted to harm me or something like that he could have by now. So, in a weird way…I trusted him. Then I noticed three things. One…Edward Cullen was not who I thought he was. Two…I wasn't scared of him. And Three…I was madly in love with a vampire.

I hope you guys enjoyed it. This one is a little longer than the last one, so I hope you enjoyed it. I will not be updating until after Christmas, so I can help my mom get ready for Christmas. Please don't forget to review. Have a Merry Christmas!
