---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At school the next day, I found the new student, Edward, at his locker, which is just two lockers down from mine. He was trying to juggle his schoolbooks while opening his locker and he was not doing a very good job.

"Um…Edward do you need a hand?" I asked.

"I just can't figure out this whole locker thing," he said back.

"They didn't have lockers at your old school?" I asked kind of curious.

"No we just brought our things to our classes," he replied.

"Well I can help you open it. Just give me your locker combination-I promise I won't give it to somebody else or just steal stuff from your locker," I said. He gave me his locker combination, which was written on a little piece of paper. 2-12-6. after I opened his locker for him he thanked me and got his stuff. Then we ran into Rosanna on our way to homeroom.

"Hi Livvy!" she said in that excited way of hers.

"Hey Rosy!" in mock excitement.

"Ha ha ha, very funny. Hi Edward. How do you like Forks High so far?" she said

"Um…well it's the first school I have ever attended named after a town that is named after an eating utensil. But I kind of like it. At least the people here are nice," he said.

"I see what you mean about the whole eating utensil thing but I am happy you like it here!" she replied.

By that time we had gotten to homeroom, we took our seats, and even though we were at the same table, we didn't really say anything to each other. But I think it was just that we didn't have anything to say. but in my other classes

The day went by and i didn't even notice. Edward was a totally cool guy. he wasn't all self-centered and concieted like some of the other guys i have for friends and he is as much of a good listener as he is a good talker. He has all these stories about the places he has visited and the things he did there. He's been to most of the states, like 38 or something.

But the wierd thing today is that i found myself just staring at Edward more than once today. I mean, he didn't notice (i think) but i dodn't know that i liked him that way. Although he is very nice to look at with his green eyes, messy bronze hair, and everything else about him that is beautiful. Ok so maybe i did know that i liked him this way but he doesn't seem interested and it may be the fact that he's been bombarded with many people of the female variety but he's just brushed them off everytime they come to ogle. Maybe he's gay. There's nothing wrong with being gay but why is it that all the good looking guys that i am even slightly interested in seem gay. Once i actually had a crush on this guy Bryant and this crush lasted for a long time, or at least until that day i caught him kissing this other guy.

Anyway, when i got home my mom was busy getting in as much phone calling for her job in preperation for our little "vacation." My dad wasn't there and my mom said that he went to the store.

The next day at school went by unusually fast. I didn't really have to show Edward where to go anymore but since we have like all our classes together we were together the whole day. And plus, i am lke one of Edward's only friends at this school. He hangs out with my friends but he knows me better than them considering the whole "all our classes together" thingy. Lunch time was approaching and Edward and I were gathering up our things to head toward the cafeteria.

And then the realization hit me and it hit me hard. I was going on a vacation. With my parents. Without my friends. Just me and my parents. Alone. I guess its not that bad, but my parents can always find ways to embarass me even when it seems embarassment is completely unattainable. But if you look on the plus side... um...well... I...get to miss school? Oh good grief! Who am i kidding school is so totally fun as long as my friends are there. And all of my friends have never been absent from school at the same time in, like, ever!

"Olivia," Edward asked, interrupting my thoughts.

"Yeah?"

"Umm...are you OK because you just spaced out for a moment there." He sort of concerned.

"Oh. I was just thinking. Hard," i admitted, blushing.

"About?"

"oh just stuff. this and that, you know."

"I don't really know though. Care to enlighten me?" He really sounded amused by now, as if he were holding back laughter.

"Are you trying not to laugh at me or something Edward?" i said trying my hardest to sound appaled, i wasn't doing a good job at it though.

"No, never," the face of innocence but i was so not buying it.

"Well...if you must know...i was thinking about something that i have to do that i really am having major second thoughts about. You see, i have to go on this trip or vacation or whatever with my parents and it sounded fun at first but now it just seems really boring. I mean my parents are cool and all but they just seem to be different lately and i'm kinda confused and annoyed because it is just co confusing. Does that make any sense?" I don't even know why i am telling him all this stuff since i barely met him a few days ago but for some reason i really did feel that he would understand everything that i said. I felt calm and safe and like i could be myself around him. But what am i talking about? He's practically a stranger! Get a grip girl!

But then he said, "Yeah, it completely makes sense to me," and i knew that i really did have a grip and that i was right about what i thought about him bofore. I could tell him just about anything and it would be safe with him and it would be understood. Wow. This is wierd because i don't even feel that way with my other friends, the ones i have known that way since forever. I am not even sure if i feel that way with my parents and i just can't figure out whats wrong with me.

The rest of the week went by and now i am packing for the "vacation." The news said that the next two weeks will be warm and then it will start getting cold for autumn. Anyway i only need one and a half warm weeks if i am going to Ocean Shores. We leave tomorrow. Hooray ( you can practically taste my excitement). Sarcasm.
