Chapter Two-School and a Surprise

When I woke to the annoying buzz of my alarm clock the next morning, I felt elated. My dreams had been completely about Luke. We talked, and then he kissed me again, soft, warm, and gentle on the lips. But then, I felt a sharp pain in my chest. I yearned for Luke. I looked at the clock. 6:30, too early to get ready for school. I decided with the time difference it wasn't too early in Phoenix, so I grabbed my cell phone and dialed my favorite number of all time. When he picked up, I felt ecstatic!

"Bella! Good Morning, how is Forks? I miss you."

"Luke! Morning to yourself, Forks is green and very rainy. I miss you a lot too."

"What's up? It's great to hear from you."

"I just really miss you and I have a long time until my school day starts. I also wanted to talk."

"Talk? About what are we talking? I seriously miss you too."

"Luke, I am going to be honest with you. I think I love you. I think I want to be more than friends and I picked a really crappy time to realize my true feelings."

The other line was silent.

"Luke?" I asked, worried.

"Wow Bells, I had no clue you felt that way."

"Did I just make a complete idiot of myself?"

"Not at all because Bella, I think I love you too. I think I want to be much more than friends and I think I should have stopped you from leaving."

"Luke, my leaving was inevitable. It had to happen, but it is great to know that we both feel that way."

"It truly is. Bella, I love you. But I have to go right now to get ready for school. My school day starts in about 20 minutes-time difference remember?"

"Oh yeah. I wish you didn't have to though. I love you Luke, and I wish I could say that to your face."

"Me too Bells, Me too. But don't be too blue, I have a huge surprise for you. I have to get going now though."

"Ok Luke. Bye-I can't wait!"

"I love you Bells. Bye"

I hung up, wondering what he could be planning. I then looked at the clock and realized it was 7:00. I had to get ready; school was starting in about a half an hour. I got up and dressed, bouncing downstairs to breakfast. Charlie was there already, with bacon and eggs on the table. I made myself a plate and joined him.

"Hey, have a great day at school today. I am sure it will be fine." He tried to settle me down, not knowing that wasn't what I was all keyed up about.

"I sure hope so." I replied with a smile.

He left after that, and I left not long after in my new car, gliding down the rainy streets smoothly. I loved the car, but noticed that the brake was a little sticky. I would have to fix that before something happened. I pulled into a parking lot and parked in front of a small building that said Front Office on it. I walked in, and went to speak with the woman behind the desk.

"Can I help you?" she asked in a sweet voice.

"Hi, I am Isabella Swan, I am new here."

"Oh," she said, suddenly interested, "But of course, here is your schedule and a map. Please get all of your teachers to sign this slip and return it to me at the end of the day."

"Sure," I said brightly, taking the papers and walking back out to my car.

I parked on the side and headed to my first class. I saw it was AP English in room 213. I would have fun finding that. I was getting a lot of interested stares, so I used it to my advantage. I walked up to a nice looking girl with pale brown hair and green eyes, so much like Luke.

"Hi, I'm Bella. Can you help me find room 213?"

"Hey, I'm Sophie. I have AP English this period too, so I can walk with you."

"Oh, thanks so much!"

"Don't mention it."

We walked in silence for a few moments, then Sophie started talking again

"So Bella, do you have a boyfriend? I don't mean to pry, I'm just curious."

"Yeah, I do. My boyfriend's name is Luke and he lives in Phoenix."

"Oh, Luke. That's a nice name. What is he like?"

"Luke is amazing. He is selfless and loving, gentle and kind, and he loves me more than I thought possible. He has bright emerald eyes and brown hair that goes about to the bottom of his ears. Luke is the best boyfriend a girl could ever ask for."

She looked surprised at my answer, I was too. I don't usually share any information about my personal life at all.

"Wow, he does sound great. I have a boyfriend too. His name is Mark. He is more of a jock, you know-football team and all that."

"Oh, that's nice. I am really happy for you."

By now we had reached the classroom. I walked up to the front and got my slip signed. I turned around and my jaw dropped.
