Chapter 7 BPOV

Oh no! Were going home! Shame! I really don't wanna…oh well

I can't wait for school tomorrow, im gonna see Edward. I wonder if I remember him right or if he aint hot as I've been imagining him as.

I managed to avoid everyone so I haven't had to talk to anyone about Edward, which is good because my voice always crack when I talk about him and when people hint about the subject I get little butterflies in my tummy doing flips and other gymnastical things.

I've been hanging out with Cameron and Garrett for the past week because they know I don't wanna talk about him so they leave me alone and start natural convocation instead. They truly are my besties! Plus they know ill leave early if they annoy me.

I do love my family and all, but they are all excited that I actually like someone! Emmett's alright but he's been with rose all week and she keeps pouncing on me trying to get out some details.

Her and Alice love gossip, they just can't get enough of it!

Jaspers been staying away from me because of the "emotional crisis" as he likes to put it. Im not having an emotional crisis I just think about Edward and I feel love then I think about everyone asking about Edward and I go all tense and such. I kinda asked Jazz to stay away because I knew Alice would go with him and I KNOW she will not settle for no answer. She will just annoy the crap out of everyone until I tell her and if she annoys them then they all suddenly want to know because they know once she knows it's all over.

Me and Garrett caught up and I realised how much I missed him. He was the best friend a girl could ask for and I loved him to pieces. I am really gonna miss him.

He and Cameron are the only things that have stopped me going home this week. I really will miss them. I might invite them up after a while-or when I get lonely

They both really want to see Edward. So does Tanya, she is in love with him as well! She doesn't even know him she just listened to the short description I gave her of him and she suddenly likes him.

Irina and Tanya are supportive, but gutted I like someone. They think they are the only single vamps in the history of vampires. I told them you don't need a guy to make you happy.

Irina and Kate turned on me and said look at how happy I am in just the memory of him. I guess I wasn't this happy when I was alone; well I'm still am alone, but still.

Garrett said I've changed as well, in a good way. He says I've always been fun and cool but now im even funnier and happy-which was apparently his and Emmett's goal in eternity.

Cameron and I have been hunting and hanging out all the time just talking about life and stuff. She understands me and knows I don't wanna talk now and that I will talk when I wanna.

Leaving was painful as well as exciting. I am gonna miss them sooo much and I promised to invite them all down soon. Cameron was well happy when I said that and I was too busy hugging everyone to ask her why.

Emmett and I ran home. I planned to run home and the rest of my family were so bored of Emmett's jokes they wouldn't let him in the car, even Rosalie was annoyed with him. We joked and talked on the way home until we came to the edge of forks, we slowed down into a walk and Emmett's face went all serious.

Here we go.

"Fine, Emmett! What do you wanna know?" I said as calmly as I could manage.

"All I wanna know is that he is nice and perfect for you, does he make you happier than me and G can?" he knew Garrett and him were the only people who made me truly happy and they could get me in hysterics in seconds.

"Emmett! I've only spoke to him once! Ill tell you when I know, ok?" I said sweetly. His face lit up and he smiled again, throwing me on his back and piggy backing me all the way home.

I love me brother.

I went to my room when I got home and stayed there all night. I had hunted the day before so I was good for tomorrow.

Morning couldn't come fast enough.

Alice was annoying the crap out of me and Emmett because she KNEW I had told him something but he said nothing. Normally Emmett got frustrated with Alice quickly and spilled what ever he knew, but he knew I really cared about Edward and that I wouldn't talk to him again if he even said I like him a lot.

I almost kicked Alice out of the car and made her walk on the way to school. She was whining and everyone else was as well, begging me to tell her. Emmett found this extremely funny. A glare form rose and me shut him up.

The day dragged on and I was watching Edward through Jessica Stanley and Mike Newton's eyes.

He had a dead look in his eyes, like he was in some sort of pain. I suffered with him and was angry with who ever did this to him.

He was alert as he walked in the cafeteria, dodging snow balls and occasionally slipping. He walked to the lunch line; he didn't even know I was here!

I wonder if he missed me.

His eyes soon wandered over the cafeteria until he met my table, I carefully kept my eyes away but watched him in Jessica's mind. Jessica was becoming a really annoying person. Her mind was FOREVER fantasizing about Edward, unless she was making bitchy comments about other girls who talked to him-which is still kinda thinking about Edward.

He didn't move as he saw me, he wasn't even breathing (yea I can tell)

"Hey Edward, you getting anything?" mike asked. Mike was nice, he genuinely liked Edward, but he still liked the fact he was always surrounded in girls.

Edward was looking at the floor, his face burning. I was scared. What happened to him??

"No I think im ok" a little voice squeaked out. I realised it was Edward and couldn't help but laugh. He stepped out of the line, and my family claimed my attention.

"Bells…"Emmett whined "please tell them about him, please, they are trying to kill me!"

"I know nothing about him! I like him and his scent what else is there to tell?" I asked

"Really? Is that IT?" jasper asked shocked

"Well I've known him for a week, and only spent a day with him so far, what do you expected me to tell ya'll?" I asked, smiling "I promise to tell you when I find out for myself! Gosh guys, lay off. Oh and this is exactly what I told Emmett, right?" I added, Emmett nodded and smiled at me. I'd just let him of the hook. He didn't need to suffer with me if things didn't go well.

"Right Bella" Alice began-here we go "ill help you get him, as long as…"

"Yeah, I promise, Alice I promise" I said quickly

"Ok!" she squealed excitedly "Edwards gonna looked over in a sec, so act NATUREL!"

"ALICE" Rosalie whined "don't give Emmett any ideas, natural for a vampire is to suck people's blood!"

"Guy, GUYS! Back to the subject, act human" Alice finished

"Oh, human, you say?" Jasper said smiling, he held up a ball of ice in his hand, his eyes on Rosalie, but his mind on Emmett, we could all see it coming though

He threw the ice at Emmett's head at full vampire speed and strength. Emmett caught it and aimed at me, I ducked and it went rocketing in the back wall, smashing a brick.

We all looked around the cafeteria, looking for the person who did it. The other people suspected nothing. Phew!

"Bella!" Emmett whined-again-he's a whiny sort a vampire really "that was a perfect shot, why did ya have to duck?"

"Because, Emmett, im NOT stupid!"

He sighed and everyone laughed, I turned my attention back to Edward, trying to avoid Emmett's wet hair that he was swinging around.

"Edward? What are you staring at?" Eric asked gosh dude, you look a mess he thought

I looked over to Edward to see if that was true and was met by a pair of emerald green eyes, staring at me. He dropped his head and glared at the empty space on the table.

Humans gotta eat, right? There might be something wrong with him today.

"Bella Cullen is staring at you" Eric continued slyly and she is FINE, if she was after me I wouldn't waste a second man-get in there. Eric was supporting Edward, kinda

"Really?" Edward asked, his voice cracking "stop looking at her!" he whispered furiously. Eric laughed but looked away as asked.

I stopped staring at him now, but through his tables mind, I saw he was staring at me.

A lot

His friends were planning a snow ball fight after school. It was raining though, were human ears that rubbish? The rain sounded loud to me.

Everyone groaned as they realised and Edward smiled happily to himself.

I left about five minutes after him and arrived to biology as he was drawing on his book. He looked happier now. I was glad

I was waiting for him to say something, but he didn't so I said: "hiya!" he looked up and met my eyes.

"Hey, how are you?" he asked calmly

"Fine thanks, im actually glad to be back!" I answered happily grinning. I was happy to be back to school, well that was new!

"Where were you?"

"In Alaska" damn no we weren't! "Helping my dad" I finished smiling. The story was that we went to some sick kids home and toke them to swim with dolphins, not in Alaska! I always told him whatever he wanted to know, if he knew this he could seriously use it to his advantage. I mean he could say: "you drink animal blood, don't you?" and I would say yes with out thinking about it! This human will be the death of me. or maybe the other way around…no im NOT gonna think about that

Mr Banner started talking then, I tried to concentrate as he explained the lab we were doing but I couldn't with Edward sat so close to me. His scent was driving me crazy; whenever he stirred the air I would go madder with pleasure. I slid my chair away in a hope to ignore his scent.

"Get started!" Mr Banner boomed.

"Ladies, first?" Edward offered

"Ok then" said grabbing the microscope quickly.

A little too quickly I think his eyes went wide and he struggled to maintain his expression. I snapped the first slide into place and studied it for a second or two. I was confident enough to answer immediately: "Prophase"

I was just unclipping the slide when my hand was attacked by sudden heat and electric shots. It was painfully blissful, I was happy about it felt…right. Like warmth I'd been looking for.

The heat was yanked away and I suddenly realised it was Edwards hand warming mine. He had pulled back quickly and he was looking confused and frightened.

Suck it up dude! Just a little coldness aint gonna kill 'ya!

"What?" I asked studying my hand, wondering if he had felt it too. His hand was flying through his hair, and he still looked confused but less frightened.

"May I?" he asked, looking at the microscope.

"Yeah sure" I said sweetly. He studied the slide longer than I had and he reached for the next slide with an irritated look on his magnificent face. HA, im right!

"Anaphase" he said after looking at the slide for a minute and a half. Human eyes were slow so I can't really blame him.

"May I?" I mimicked him perfectly-im my opinion.

"Don't you believe me?" he teased lightly, his smile was breathtaking and a low chuckle escaped his lips, as I reached for the microscope-slower. I was watching my moves around him more carefully, it was too easy to just be my ol'vampire self around him. I barley glanced at the slid before passing it to him

"Interphase, wanna check it?" I asked

"No thanks, I trust you" he said looking me in the eye and smiling slightly as I beamed at his words!

We were finished before anyone else, so I had nothing to do but try not to look at Edward. I was unsuccessful of course but I managed to make sure he didn't know I was looking at him, so I watched him through mikes eyes.

I looked at him and found him staring at me as well. I looked deep into his eyes, losing my self with the depth of them, I felt like I could see for miles into these emerald green eyes, like they were laying out all of his secrets…

"Hey, do you get contacts?" he asked quickly breaking me out of my trance.

"No" I answered puzzled by his question.

"Oh I just thought there was something different about you're eyes" he mumbled quietly. I suddenly realised my eyes were black the last time I saw him, today they were a golden colour, due to hunting the night before.

He seemed embarrassed about asking me so I thought carefully about safe convocations to start: "It's too bad about the snow isn't it?" I asked hesitantly, oh my gosh I was asking him about the weather, how lame.

"Um I think" he said it uncertainly; I raised my eyebrows and urged him to continue with my eyes. "I don't like the snow. Any cold, wet thing and I don't really…" he broke of shuddering harshly.

Well how about that? Cold?? ME!!!! No wonder he pulled his hand back so quickly before, he must think I left my hand sat out in a blizzard!

"Forks must be a difficult place to live then, huh?" I was concerned; I wanted him to be happy.

"You have NO idea" he said rolling his eyes and shaking his golden hair.

"Why did ya come here then?" I meant to question but I came out like more of a demand, I hope he just thought I was interested.

"Um my mother got re-married and kicked me out"

"Aww, poor you! Why'd she kick ya out?"

"Cause she said she needed some "alone time" with Phil and that I was getting in the way-and she thought she had it bad! I was the one that walked in on them! Talk about scarred for life!" he said laughing hard now, his whole frame shaking and his hair was bouncing around in every direction, words cant describe the way he looked

"Great that was a mental picture I really didn't need, thanks!" I said laughing with him, his laughter was contagious! "Do you like living with you're dad then?"

"Hell no! I hate Charlie and im doing everything I can to annoy him" he said still laughing but not as loud now.

"Like what?" I asked instantly curious again

"I'm pranking him and messing the house and garden up, not much cause I need to find out what he hates 'n' he aint 'droppin hints" I couldn't hide my laughter now and we were proper laughing our heads off, my thoughts wandered as the joke dyed down

"Wait, are you unhappy?" I asked all the humour vanishing form my voice and form his eyes.

"Kinda, but annoying Charlie is fun, but oh well life aint fair is it?" he stated simply, sighing. His breathe blew out and hit my face, the scent stunned me but I welcomed it until I remember our convocation.

"No not really" I muttered quietly, more to myself than to him

He laughed loudly: "What you got to complain about, from what I've heard, you live the high life!" his eyes turned hard as he finished his sentence and his posture turned guarded, had I insulted him?? What did I SAY??

"Well there are 7 of us in our family so stuff like showering in the morning is living hell and TV's never available and im lonely, all my family are together-my mum and dad, and my brother and sister are with my foster siblings! Its kinda messed up" I explained, hopefully clearing up what I had muttered before

he smiled brilliantly and I swear his arms twitched as if he was going to hug me, to comfort me, I felt warm inside my cold, stone, body for the first time in a century.

"Aww don't worry bells, it'll be ok, and you'll find someone soon!" he said smiling emphasising "someone" a little bit too much. The name he used rung a bell

"Wait, you called me "bells", why?" I asked shocked, had he spoke to my family? Did he hear some of our convocations??

"Oh sorry, don't you like it??"

"No it's my nickname in my family" I said simply

"I just thought it sounded nice and all so…" he mumbled trailing off embarrassed again. The urge to help him was unbearable my feeling bubbled up until they burst: "No its ok I was just shocked, you can call me bells if ya wanna" I said smiling at him.

"O…K" he said cautiously, I'd really freaked him out

"Sorry of im freaking you out, it just, im having a hard time trying to read you" I explained nervously, what if I accidentally spilled everything like I almost did before?

"Oh, are you a good reader then?" he asked, trying to lighten the mode and leave the convocation behind I think

"Exceptionally! Well usually I mean, but you're difficult" I said frowning slightly as Mr Banner wrapped up class early.

I sighed rising out of my seat and hurrying to Spanish, leaving Edward behind.

I ran to Spanish and toke my seat next to Emmett, he looked at me pointedly and I reassured him I would tell him after.

God, this is gonna be a long night
