I lay in my bed that afternoon, the days events running through my head. My thoughts had been so consumed by the angel's song that I almost didn't notice Bella before it was too late.

The second my arm wrapped around her waist, an electrical current jolted through my body. I froze in shock at the sensation, and all thoughts ceased a moment later when she looked up at me, her wide, chocolate brown eyes connecting with mine.

I instantly felt the urge to cup her delicate, porcelain-skinned face in my hands and crush my lips to hers. I quickly shook my head to clear my thoughts as I pulled my arm away, immediately missing the contact. We awkwardly went through introductions, my heart melting when a crimson blush colored her cheeks. As the teacher called roll I busied myself by studying the creature sitting next to me. My ogling halted abruptly at the mention of her full name, Isabella Swan, and my brain kicked into overdrive. Her initials, I.S., were the same as those on the sheet music I had found. Could she be my angel? No, that wasn't likely. It was probably just wishful thinking on my part. But still...

I was interrupted once again by the teacher, who was beginning his lecture on mitosis. I spent the remainder of the class period trying not to focus on Bella sitting beside me. The way her full, pink lips were pursed in concentration, a crease forming between her eyes. Her thick, mahogany curls hung like a curtain around her face, the light coming in from the window picking up the red undertones. Her beautiful brown eyes were focused on her small, white hand furiously scribbling notes, her delicate wrist looking as if it would snap with the slightest pressure. Every move she made filled the air with the scent of strawberries and freesia, and I gripped the edge of the lab table to stop myself from lunging at her.

When class ended she bolted from the room, and I made my way out to my car in a daze. I have been home for hours now, and I still have not managed to clear my head. I feel a ridiculous need to be near her and learn everything I can about her. Yet my angel is still in the back of my mind.

Which one do I want more? Of course, I don't really know either of them, so it's very likely that neither is interested. But if they were, how would I decide?

My angel owns a piece of my soul, reaching me on a different level than anyone I have ever known. But Bella draws me to her like magnet. I physically need her, like a drug.

I groaned loudly before rolling off my bed and walking over to my bathroom. I stripped down before climbing in the shower and letting the hot water soothe the tense muscles in my back and shoulders. I'm not quite sure what is going to happen, but I do have a tentative plan. I don't think it's possible for me to stay away from Bella, so I will pursue a friendship with her and see where that leads us.

I will just have to check the music room tomorrow to see if my angel has left me a response. As beautiful as her music is, I have not even met her, and it may be best to keep it that way.

I crawled into my bed after shutting off the light, and drifted into a peaceful sleep.

**************************************************

I pulled into the parking lot early the next morning, eager to get to the music hall. I made my way across the quiet campus, my palms sweating and my heart racing. I came to a stop in front of the music hall and took a deep breath before pulling open the door and entering the room.

A folded sheet of paper rested on the piano bench with my initials scrawled on the front. I chuckled at the messy handwriting before reading the note.

Dear E.C.,

I am pleased that you enjoyed my music, but I will be honest with you, I do not usually play for an audience. Perhaps I might reconsider if I knew who I was playing for?

Sincerely,

I.S.

I chuckled lightly at her feeble attempt to learn my identity. I was disappointed that I would not get to hear her play, but I understood her reluctance.

I sat on the bench for awhile, not quite sure how to respond. I finally pulled out a blank sheet of paper and wrote her a quick note before leaving the music hall and heading to class.

My morning classes passed slowly, no doubt because of my desire to see Bella and check for another note. Lauren and Jessica draped themselves over me in class as well as in the hallways, despite my less than subtle attempts to shake them. I spent free period at the track with Jasper and Emmett and didn't have a chance to make it to the music hall.

I made my way into the cafeteria, barely paying attention to what I had put on my tray. My eyes swept over the room before finding Bella sitting off to one side of the cafeteria with Angela Weber. My eyes locked with hers for a moment before she blushed and quickly looked down at the table.

I grinned to myself as I sat down with my friends, who were all off in their own private worlds. I shoveled my food down hurriedly without tasting it, eager to get to my next class.

When lunch was almost over I said a quick goodbye to my friends before heading to Biology. I waited anxiously in my seat for Bella, who came in only a few minutes later. I felt the strangest sense of relief as soon as I saw her, almost as if I hadn't really been able to breathe in her absence.

She quietly made her way to our table, blushing as she noticed I was watching her. I smiled as the scent of strawberries filled the air, and I pulled her seat our for her, causing her blush to deepen.

"Hello, Bella," I greeted her, trying to mask the excitement in my voice brought on by her presence.

"Hi, Edward," she replied. My heart fluttered at the sound of my name on her lips. This was only the second time I had spoken to her, and I already knew I was falling for her, and falling fast.

A substitute teacher entered the classroom at that moment, informing us that we could use the class period to work quietly on any work we had for this or other classes. I quickly engaged Bella in conversation, eager to learn more about her. She answered hesitantly at first, her trademark blush staining her cheeks. But she quickly became more animated, sharing stories about her mom and Phoenix, before asking me about my own life.

We talked steadily throughout the class period, laughing often as if we had known one another for years. And I felt like we had. We talked about everything from our families to what books we liked, to what our dreams were for the future. And the more I learned, the more I wanted to know. Bella Swan was fascinating, and I couldn't get enough of her.

Our conversation continued as class ended and we walked towards the parking lot. Bella laughed loudly at a story I told her about Emmett, and I was mesmerized by the sound. We were approaching her beast of a truck when Alice suddenly appeared by my side.

"Hi Bella! Wow, you're so pretty!" Alice giggled lightly, her dark eyes sparkling. I sighed at Alice's interruption and quickly made introductions for a confused Bella.

"Bella, this is my sister, Alice. She's very...energetic. But I promise, she's harmless...mostly." Bella's eyes widened slightly as she smiled uneasily.

"Of course I'm harmless! Bella and I are going to be best friends, I just know it! Bye, Bella! I'll see you tomorrow!" Alice bounced forward and gripped Bella in a tight hug before skipping off to find Jasper.

Bella stood still for a moment, her eyes widened in shock, before shaking her head lightly. A gentle smile spread across her face as she tilted her head back to look up at me from her tiny 5'4".

"I like her," she giggled, turning to open her truck. We said our goodbyes and I walked back to my Volvo. The roar of her truck's engine echoed through the parking lot and I quickly started my car and headed home. I had a feeling I was going to be seeing a lot of Bella Swan.

A/N: Soooo....how was it? I hope you like it! I'm trying to decide if i should rate it M and add some lemons later on, but i'm not sure...so what do you think? I can drag out the story so that it is fluffy and cute and they don't face each other until the end, or i could have them declare themselves in a couple chapters, and expand their *coughcough* relationship...preferences?
