"Edward Cullen!" My name was called and I made my way back to meet with Jenks. "Ahh! Edward good to see you again, it's good to see I don't have to chase you down and put hand cuffs on you." He chuckled clearly thinking that was funny, my freedom is no laughing matter. He stopped almost immediately after seeing that I'm not amused.

"I have reports from the hospital stating that you do your mandatory volunteer work, that's good. Your grades have been up, also good." He shuffled through more papers and told me everything that I already knew I was doing, but what he said next shocked me.

"I have discussed it with the parole board and they have agreed that you will get your license back a month early, for good behavior. But don't forget Mr. Cullen if you're caught taking one sip of alcohol it's jail time." I thanked him profusely and walked out with what had to have been the goofiest grin I've ever worn.

"What happened to make you grin like that?" Emmett asked walking beside me. "We have to go to the DMV and get me a new license, can't be caught driving without one. Especially since I just got it back, that might not look too good." He shook my shoulder grinning like an idiot. "Guess that means you're driving to school tomorrow."

"Damn right I'm driving to school tomorrow!"

We made it o the DMV just before they closed and got me a new license, to say that I was ecstatic doesn't begin to cover it. I skipped out the damn door. I fucking skipped! It's like I'm channeling Alice!

I was walking from gym thinking about Edward Cullen and his mildly bipolar behavior when Mike Newton found me. "Bella! Hey Bella! Boy you walk fast." I smiled, but kept going. "Yeah sorry Mike, just trying to end the day."

"How was your first day? I didn't really get to talk to you." He explained looking a little disappointed. "Oh…uh…yeah it was alright." I stuttered turning pink.

"So what are you doing this weekend?" Is he asking me out? I have had exactly one conversation with this kid. I don't want to go, but I don't know how to let him down nicely. I don't exactly have experience in this department. He's giving me a funny look, I must be taking too long thinking this over.

"Hey Bella!" I looked over at the sound of my name and saw Edward Cullen walking toward me. Oh great just what I need. "I just wanted to apologize for being a raving jackass Bella." Oh well that was unexpected, but before I could say anything in return his brother called for him. "Hey Eddie-boy we gotta go!" He scowled probably at the nickname and walked away calling over his shoulder "See you tomorrow Bella".

I was standing there gaping until Mike got my attention. "Jeeze what an ass. So how about this weekend Bella?"

"What? Oh, um, sorry Mike I'll still be unpacking. You know not much time during the week with school and all." I walked away quickly before he could try and make plans for the following weekend.

I stopped at Thriftway on my way home to pick up groceries hoping to make a nice home cooked meal. Something mildly time consuming to occupy my mind and comforting to relax my nerves.

After getting home I set up what I'd need for dinner. I started boiling the noodles and thought about Emmett, about the familiarity of his eyes. It's like I had seen those exact same eyes somewhere before, I just can't place them. His dimples and his smile too. I feel like I should know this, it's like I know him. As I was grating the cheese though I realized that it was impossible. How could I possibly know it, this was the first time I can remember ever being in Forks.

Frying the bacon and chopping the mushrooms my mind found a new pair of eyes. A beautiful pair of gray eyes, that I swear were made of fire when he was mad. A pair of eyes that could transfix me, make me forget to breathe. Oh how I love Edward Cullen's eyes. They were so deep and dark, mysterious, but expressive, they looked young and free, but there was sadness.

As beautiful as his eyes were, there was something there. He's confident, but he's unsure about something. He's also really sweet! He apologized after having done nothing wrong! To top it all off he knew to call me Bella, unlike the rest of the population of Forks. Emmett excepting, he called me squirt, which is just as bad.

I mixed the noodles, cheese, bacon, and mushrooms in the glass dish and added the bread crumbs on top. Cleaning up my mess I realized there is something very strange about Edward… and Emmett for that matter. Emmett looked nothing like his brother or sister. Nobody said anything about him being adopted though, in a town like this word gets around very quickly, and few things are actually secret. Maybe he looks like his mom and Edward and Alice look like they're dad. Or he could be a perfect mix of them both making his features less obvious in Edward and Alice.

See! Now that seems like a perfectly good explanation.

I ate quickly and started on my reading. Instead of the schools copy I read out of my own battered copy, enjoying the familiarity. I loved the way Jane Austen. It was witty and exaggerated. He characters got over excited and indignant very often. I love her punctuation within sentences signaling extra emotion. I most especially loved the English language from the 1800's.

As I was reading I realized the similarities between Mr. Darcy and Edward. His uncaring attitude and stoic demeanor. Everyone hated Edward because everyone thought, he thought, that he was better than everyone else. Everyone thought he was stuck up and a jerk. He's not though he tried to start a conversation with me in Biology, but I was too embarrassed to talk and then he apologized to me after school and Mike called him an ass for it.

That was totally uncalled for on Mike's part. Who does he think he is? Edward Cullen really isn't an ass or a jerk. He was having a bad day, everybody's entitled to one bad day aren't they. Even if he isn't very social most days, he doesn't have to be a damn social butterfly. He can speak to whomever he wishes. Of what concern is it to the student body at Forks High School?

I realized that I was getting far too impassioned about Edward Cullen and traded English for Trig, a subject that takes far too much brain power for my mind to wander.

After having gotten my license back and telling my parents about it I was on my way to Port Angeles to celebrate. After driving around for about an hour I decided to see a movie, something about zombies.

When I was walking out of the theatre I heard a soft whisper in my ear. "I really missed you Edward." Irina! Oh fuck me! Tonight's going to end much better than I could have ever imagined.

A/N Yes there are a lot of Pride and Prejudice references, but it's my favorite book and I am currently reading it. I know that SM says that Edwards eyes are green, but I love Robert Pattinson's gray eyes, they're super dreamy.
