Chapter: 2

After collecting his thoughts, Edward walked back inside the school. On his way to his first period class, which was P.E. because he's just lucky like that, the girl that had infatuated him came into view. She was running out of the ladies restroom, small pieces of what Edward assumed to be vomit had crusted around her full lips.

"Are you feeling okay?" Edward asked while examining her. It was obvious she was very ill, her face was as white as a sheet and a thin film of sweat coated her forehead. A sour odor was coming off her, but it was not enough to mask the sweet scent from earlier, still faintly hanging in the air.

"Y-yeah…. actually, no," the girl ran back into the bathroom, hand covering her mouth. She returned a few minutes later, trembling.

"I'm taking you to the nurse," Edward said as he lifted her bridal style. 'Wow, she's so warm…' he thought, nearing the nurse's office.

"Sorry about this, some guy had a really bad nosebleed a little while ago and I get really sick at the sight of blood." The girl said as Edward set her down on a cot. The nurse wasn't in the office, a piece of printer paper was taped to the door that read 'Be back in five minutes'.

"I'll wait with you here until the nurse comes back, my name's Edward by the way."

"Oh, thank you, I'm Bella, I just transferred here."

'Bella,' Edward thought. It had a nice ring to it. He smiled softly, as Bella started to drift off.
