Chapter 2

Edward's POV

It was lunch time. I followed the crowd to the cafeteria feeling no enthusiasm for lunch I dawdled behind not wanting to be caught up in the long lines. I visited the bathroom and put some books in my locker. At lunch I usually sat with Mike Newton and his group of friends or if I couldn't take their mindless, immature chatter I sat in my Volvo and listened to music. Music was the one thing in life that I truly loved and when I played it I was my true self. It felt like a sitting in the car kind of day so I planned on getting my food and heading out to my car. I joined the line which was thankfully small and tried to tune out the chatter around me. The line moved quickly and I grabbed some lunch and put it on my tray. Suddenly I felt a weird feeling as though I was being watched I turned around slowly my eyes drawn to the table where my siblings and their partners sat.

There was another girl sitting with them who I had never seen before. This must be that new girl Mike was talking about in rather graphic detail. I was about to turn back around when suddenly she looked at me. She had the biggest, deepest brown eyes I had ever seen. I couldn't look away, what was happening? I felt a weird feeling in my stomach and felt even more confused. I still couldn't look away. I had to get out of here I ripped my eyes from hers and ran out the door not bothering with my lunch. I ran to my car and turned on my music and drove home. I couldn't get those eyes out of my mind. What had just happened?

Bella's POV

The rest of the day passed by in a blur all I could think about was what had happened. I couldn't get his sad, green eyes out of my mind. What could have possibly caused him to react the way he did? No one had ever run out of the room just from looking at me before. It kind of stung.

Was I that repulsive that he couldn't be in the same room as me? I thought irrationally. No maybe something else was upsetting him. Maybe he had, had a fight with his girlfriend, his most likely…beautiful girlfriend. I didn't even know him but it hurt to think of him with someone else…I knew how stupid I sounded and how this…infatuation destined me for hurt. There was no way he would ever look at me twice. Well he had been staring…I let a bit of hope enter my heart but I quickly pushed it away…I was being stupid.

I drove home tired and miserable after my first day. I t had been world's different then anything I had ever anticipated. Better, because I had made four wonderful friends, bad because of Edward's reaction to me… but it also intrigued me. I couldn't wait for tomorrow.

Edward's POV

I drove home shaking the whole time.

I couldn't make sense of what had just happened. It was because she was new I told myself over and over again it wasn't because I found her…attractive.



"No" I said out loud and hit the steering wheel angrily. That was insane. I didn't feel that way about people…I couldn't.

I shook my head trying to get her eyes out of my mind. And her face and her body…

I pulled up at my house, slammed the Volvo's door and walked inside. I walked into the kitchen where Carlisle was sitting at the table doing some work. He looked up in surprise.

"Edward, what are you doing home so early?"

I immediately froze up. Even after six years with him I still wasn't comfortable around him. I knew it was irrational, he would never hurt me. My mind believed that a hundred percent but my body didn't listen. It instinctively tried to protect itself.

"Felt sick" I replied shortly and headed for the stairs. I heard him sigh behind me. I wondered if he regretted adopting me. I know I would if I was him.

I walked into the upstairs lounge room where we kept the piano. I was the only one in the family who played. I sat down and began playing. Usually it calmed me and occupied my mind so I wouldn't have to think about anything else but the notes and the music. Today it was different I still couldn't get her face out of my mind. Frustrated I stopped playing and buried my head in my hands. I couldn't handle this. One thing I was sure of was that I wasn't going to school tomorrow.

Carlisle's POV

I watched Edwards back as he retreated up the stairs. It was nothing new; he had always been distant with me. When Esme and I had first adopted him we had thought he was just shy and considering what we had heard about his parents it was expected he would have some aversions towards new people. As time passed he didn't seem to be getting better and we grew more and more concerned so I suggested therapy. After his first session we saw the first real emotion expressed by Edward. He lost it and refused point blank to ever go back. Esme and I had thought of this as a breakthrough, he was actually showing us he felt something so we had agreed. Now I was not so sure we had made the right decision.

Bella's POV

I had an incredibly restless night of sleep I tossed and turned and when I finally feel asleep I dreamt of Edward. I didn't understand I had never felt this way before. Sure I had, had crushes before but I had never felt obsessive like this. And with the other crushes I had at least spoken to them before.

"Are you ok Bells" Charlie asked breaking me out of my Edward daydream while we ate breakfast.

"Huh? Oh yeah fine why?"

"You look distracted that's all"

"No…ha-ha…I'm fine just tired I didn't sleep very well" I said which was true



"Oh, well make sure you have an early night tonight" Charlie replied looking concerned

"Sure" I got up a kissed his cheek "Well I better get going"

"Ok, see you later honey"

I arrived at school actually exited rather then nervous. I tried to convince myself that I was excited to see my new friends rather then to see Edward.

I was walking towards my locker when suddenly something small came running at me and threw their arms around me. Startled, a second later I realised it was Alice.

"Oh my God, Bella it's so good to see you. How are you?" she said breathlessly

I laughed she was so excitable. If she could get so excited by just seeing me I didn't know if I wanted to be around her if something really exciting happened

"I'm good Alice how about you?"

"Good, good" she said waving her hand impatiently. "So what are we doing tonight?"

"What do you mean?"

"Duh, its Friday night we have to do something"

"I don't know. Whatever you want to do" I said warily

"I know, I know come over to my house and we can have a girls night. You, me and Rose some good movies and pizza" she said jumping up and down.

I laughed it did sound like fun

"Ok sounds good" I said excited I had never had a 'girls night' before.

Edward's POV

I left at the normal time I usually left for school so Esme didn't become suspicious. I felt like a coward running away from my problems. Well at least this wasn't unprecedented it was what I did.

I drove to the music store which was a place which always relaxes me. I looked through the stores wide selection of albums trying to occupy my mind and not think about what had happened the day before.

Bella's POV



My mood dropped throughout the day when I didn't so much as catch a glimpse of Edward. I kept hoping I would see him until it was confirmed he was absent. Apparently he was in my history class which was straight after lunch. I heard Mr Allen asking Mike if he knew where Edward was since he had also missed the class the day before. This gave me something to think about. I knew Edward had strangely ran out of the cafeteria but I didn't know he had also left school. It concerned me how much I was thinking about him and how much I cared.

I really had to get over this it wasnt healthy.

Alice was waiting for me by my truck after school ended.

"Bella are you excited about tonight?" she asked when i walked up to her

"Yeah it should be fun. What time do you want me there?"

"Anytime after six should be fine. Oh my God i'm so excited. You'll get to meet my parents i've been talking about you to them non stop"

I started to feel nervous i hoped they would like me.

"Anyway i got to go. i'll see you tonight" she said and kissed my cheek

"Bye"

Even though i was tired i was really excited about the 'girls night'. Hopefully it would get my mind off of Edward. Even though it was at his house i doubted he would be there it was a Friday night after all.
