A/N: Sorry it's later than I promised!

Before I go on, I want to point something out. We have a problem here. I have 293 hits for this story, but only 4 reviews, 6 fav., and 9 alerts. Do you see the problem? I do. Can it be fixed? Surely can! But not by me, only you. Are you gonna fix it? Hopefully.

Well, here it is. (Again, sorry that it's later than I promised!)

-BPOV-


Previously: Before anyone could say another word, someone came up behind me. "Excuse me, I think you're in my seat." I turned around, only to meet with the most gorgeous green eyes I've ever seen.


I froze in a trance-like state. I was mesmerized by his pool of beautiful green eyes. His face clearly showed his amusement at my frozen state. I quickly recovered, seeing as everyone at the table was staring at us.

I collected all of my things to get up, "Oh, I'm so sorry! I didn't know that this was your seat." My hand accidentally grazed his in the process of gathering my things. His skin was so soft and warm I couldn't help but slightly blush. I kept my head down so no one could see it. I'm sure I felt something like that before, but I can't remember when or where.

"Relax, I was just joking. You can sit there if you want. I don't mind." With that, he went to sit across from me. I couldn't control the blush that crept up my cheeks this time either. But it was redder than before.

I awkwardly sat back down as everyone stared, trying to keep from laughing at me. A few minutes later, everyone started talking animatedly again. They asked me questions about my life and everything.

"So how long have you been here in Forks?" Emmett asked.

"Well, I've lived here all my life, but I lived in Phoenix for 4 years. Where have you guys lived?"

"We lived in a lot of places. Like, Mississippi, Michigan, Texas, New York, Tennessee, London, Ohio…Do you like Forks?" And it went on like that the whole lunch time.

Every time my eyes would wander around the lunch table, looking at all of the new people that I befriended so easily, I couldn't help but notice that Alice was staring at Edward with an amused yet wary expression. What's even weirder is that when I looked at Edward across from me, he was staring intently at me and smiling at me when I looked up.

Knowing me, I would blush, look down, and continue with the conversation. But after the first time I caught him, I couldn't help but wonder where I saw those eyes and crooked smile. With that gorgeous face, you would think that I would remember where I saw it.

All throughout lunch, I kept catching him staring at me and wondered why.

Why were so many questions popping up in my head about Edward? See there's another one! I know I saw him somewhere! It's on the tip of my tongue. Come on! I know this!

Ugh! This Edward frustrates me, and yet I can't stop thinking about him.

I even tried to get Alice's attention once during lunch by kicking her in the leg, but instead, I ended up kicking Emmett.

"Hey! What'd you do that for?" he said, grabbing the place where I kicked him. All of us tried extremely hard to not laugh at his face expression. His eyes were shut tight, his mouth was puckered out like he ate a lemon and his face was pretty red.

"Aw, Emmett! I didn't kick you that hard!" I choked out. Finally opening his eyes, he saw that everyone was about to burst out with laughter. At this, he straightened up and looked at the wall in front of him, no emotion on his face.

"You're right, it didn't hurt. Your little hits and kicks don't hurt me. Not with all this muscle on my body." He was flexing and talking in a deep voice. I wouldn't even be surprised if his voice came out like Arnold Schwarzenegger's. This only set it off the edge and everyone busted out laughing.

Now he had his mad face on. He waited until we were done laughing. At this rate, it didn't seem to be happening anytime soon. Seeing that it was no point in keeping his mad face on, he started in on the laughing. Even though we were laughing at him.

After a while, a LONG while, we stopped laughing.

"Anyways, why did you kick me?" he asked, after everything settled down.

"Oh, no reason. My foot just accidentally hit your leg," I said, innocently. I tried kicking Alice again, making sure I kicked her this time. Her head snapped in my direction, confusion clear on her face. I narrowed my eyes at her and I'm guessing that she understood because she looked down guiltily.

Just then, the bell rang and we all got up to dump our trays. I hung around to talk to Rosalie and Emmett for a while.

After a few minutes, I remembered that we needed to get to class, so I hurriedly ran off to class. On my way to my next class, I ran into Mike Newton. Ugh.

"Hey Bella. I need to talk to you about something," he said, out of breath.

"Well, I'm sure whatever it is, it can wait until after class."

"No, but it-" I put my hand up to stop him.

"But-"

"Not now, Mike." With that, I walked away to class. With one look back, I saw a shocked Mike standing in the middle of the hallway.

When I got to class, I saw a very familiar face. Edward.

The only empty seat was next to him, so I had no choice but to sit there.

"Hey Edward," I said, enthusiastically. He looked up at me surprised.

"What?" I asked, slightly bewildered.

"Nothing. It's just that…you're actually talking to me." This made me even more puzzled.

"Why wouldn't I talk to you?"

"Well, you haven't all morning."

"What do you mean all morning? I only saw you at lunch." He looked at me amazed.

"Um, we've had classes together all morning. And you didn't even look at me." I did?

"Are you sure? Because I don't remember having you in any."

"Yes, I'm sure." I still didn't remember.

"Positive?"

"Positive." Hmm. Still no memories come to mind.

"Are you sure that you didn't mistake me for someone else?"

"Nope. I can never mistake that beautiful smile and those lovely brown eyes." He looked really amused at my confusion and doubt. I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks.

"I give up trying to remember. I'm sorry. Really."

"It's alright. You seemed so deep in your thoughts, I didn't want to bother you."

"Oh, thanks. I was trying to recall something-" I turned to face him and met with his eyes. Closer this time. And I was bothered, Not by his alluring eyes. But the thoughts that came with it. I've seen those eyes before and I stopped. I know I've seen it before, I just know it.

He waved his hand in my face to get my attention. Even with that, I didn't snap out of my reverie.

"Yoo-hoo! Bella? Anyone there?" I still just stared at him.

"Um, you want a…cookie?(A/N: it just popped in my head. My sister's "forbidden" cookies are in front of me, so it's tempting.) Anything? I'm going to shake you now…okay?" he asked as he hesitated to put his hands on my shoulders.

"Last warning! I'm going to shake you now!" He yelled at me slowly, like I was stupid or something. Suddenly(well, not really. Since he warned me), I felt some shaking.

I finally snapped out of it and shook my head to clear it. He was still shaking me. I waited until he was done. But he kept shaking me. I looked at his face, and saw something. He knew that I didn't need anymore shaking. He was just shaking me out of fun.

I put my hands on his without thinking and felt a spark shoot through my body. He must have felt it too since he finally stopped shaking me. We sat there for a few minutes, even though to me, it seemed much, much longer. We were frozen(which has happened to me a lot today), my hands on his while his were on my shoulders.

The rest of the world just seemed to stop around us as we stared into each other's eyes.

Finally, the teacher came in and snapped us back to reality.

The rest of class went by with us giving each other side glances. I barely paid attention to what we were learning. Good thing I learned this already.

The bell rang for the last period of the day. I sighed as I made my way to the gym. I hate this class.

Halfway there, I noticed someone behind me.

Edward walked quickly up to me after realizing that he was discovered.

"Aren't you supposed to be going to class?"

"I am." he said, smugly.

"Well then why are you here?"

"I'm on my way to class."

"The only class that's this direction is Gym…Ohhhh." I said, finally getting it.

"So I guess that means that we have all of our classes together."

"I guess so-" Before I could finish saying what I was about to say, I tripped and fell. I closed my eyes and braced myself for the fall. It never came. Instead, I felt the warm soft arms snake around my waist. I looked up to see Edward staring at me.

He held me upright, but he never let go. I stood there safe in his embrace.

Soon, the second bell rang and we had to rush to class. We made it seconds before the couch came in.

"Okay!" she called everyone in order, "Dress out and run 3 laps outside. When you're done, come back inside for further instructions."

She went back into her office and left us to change in the locker rooms.

Once we were out, I met up with Edward and together we went outside to run. We ran side by side, though I'm sure I was holding him back. But he didn't seem to mind. If he did, he knew how to hide it well.

We made small talk along the way.

I was on my third lap with Edward when suddenly my legs gave up under me and I couldn't breathe.

Unexpected by this, Edward stopped dead in his tracks and came to help me.

I had no idea what was happening. My legs were in pain and my heart was slowing by the second. I could faintly hear Edward yelling at someone to call for help.

"Bella, just hang in there. Stay with me. Don't go Bella." He kept encouraging me to stay awake with him.

But no matter what he said, it just didn't help. Because those were the last words I heard him tell me before the blackness took over.


A/N: Again, sorry that it's later than I promised. It's the end of the school year for me which means a lot of events. I probably won't update until after school ends, which is Wednesday. And I have to go to Houston this weekend so I thought I might as well post this now. I'm having a slight writer's block. So it might take me a while.

But anyways, should I get a Beta? If so, who would you recommend? And don't forget to review!
