Sorry I haven't updated in a while. My computer has been on the fritz. So, here's the newest chapter:
At lunch, I sat with Edward and his family instead of my usual table. I saw Angela sneaking looks at us every once in a while, but her face was filled with happiness and satisfaction. She was happy that I better. Jessica was flat-out staring, a look of disgust and betrayal clear on her face. I tried not to look at my old table too much after that.
Alice was babbling in my ear the whole time. "Oh Bella it's so good to be back I missed you so much! We have to go shopping how about Saturday? No, wait, we can't go then, Angela needs you to help her find a dress for her date with Ben. How about Sunday? Ok, perfect! Why are you laughing, Bella?" She looked at me, her head tilted sideways. I shook my head, still laughing. "You…nothing. I'm just not used to not having to talk at all while being planned for." She grinned at me. Jasper started chuckling, too. "It's hard to get used to Alice." He said. I nodded.
When I was done eating, and the Cullens were done pretending to eat, it was time to go to Biology. An entire class next to Edward. I smiled. As I walked into the classroom, I saw lots of people stare at me. Mr. Banner was looking at me open-mouthed, and I realized that I was grinning widely. I tried to remember the last time I'd felt this happy. The only thing that really came close was…
JAKE! I thought. Oh, crap. My smile faltered, as I thought of Jacob. He'd run off right before I had that phone call, going off to figure out what all the wolves were howling about. He wouldn't be happy that the Cullens were back. I registered movement near me and a velvet voice said, "What are you thinking about?" I started, and looked around at Edward. He was smiling. "Wouldn't you like to know." I mumbled, suddenly caught up in his amber gaze. He sighed. "Bella, you look like somebody just kicked your puppy." I laughed at the dog analogy, still thinking about Jacob. "Close enough." I told him. He would have asked more, but Mr. Banner started class at that moment. "Turn to page 89, and read all three paragraphs on the central nervous system…" He droned on, and I sighed and took out my book. I'd read the whole thing anyways, one of the many things I'd tried to use to distract myself. Nothing had worked, of course, but I'd tried anyways. Edward also took out his book. As I pretended to read, I felt a note slide under my fingers. I looked down at it. In Edward's perfect calligraphy was "Are you feeling okay?" I looked sideways at him, and wrote a reply in my own sloppy scrawl. "I'm fine. It's just that I'm worried about Jacob. I haven't seen him since the yesterday, when he ran off because there was something wrong." Edward frowned. "I'm sure he's fine." He wrote, and I turned back towards the front of the classroom and tried to pay attention to Mr. Banner.
When I got home, there was a message on my answering machine. I pressed the button, and Jacob's voice came from the speaker. "Hey, Bella, It's me. I need you to call me. It's kind of important, so as soon as possible would be nice. Please, call me." I picked up the phone, my finger hovering over the first number. I stood there for three minutes, contemplating. Then I slowly put the phone down, listening to the click.
