CHAPTER 2

"Alice, you have to turn in here", I said.

"No, I don't. It's not because I had to leave the party that we can't party anymore."

"Okay, where are we going?"

"Just to a little bar, get to know each other". That would be Alice talking and me listening.

"Can we have two Cosmopolitans, please?", Alice asked while I was staring at her.

"Sure, anything else for the sexy ladies?"

"No, that'll be fine." We were already sitting down when another guy nodded at Alice. I wondered how come everyone seemed to know Alice, she was in my year, too, we even shared classes.

"Why did we have to leave, anyway?", I asked

"My brother was there, Emmett. I don't want my parents to find out I was there", she explained.

"Why? There's nothing wrong with being at a party."

"Well, it is when you have to double your year because you went out too much the previous one." That explained a lot, although she seemed a lot smarter and more mature than I was.

"Seriously? I wouldn't have guessed."

"I made the wrong type of friends last year. I was friends with my brother's girlfriend, who's a drug dealer…and your handsome teacher's ex."

"Wow, he does drugs?" He was seriously the last person I would've ever expected to do that kind of shit. Well, how can I know? I've only just met him. All I know is that he's a math geek and so damned attractive.

"No, that's why they broke up. I told him. Rosalie and Emmett hate me ever since."

"Rosalie being your brother's girlfriend?"

"Yes, well…because of my parents' money, though. But she's got them wrapped around her finger so much they don't even realize it."

"Is she at UCLA, too?"

"Yep, she's in her first year again, too"

"What does she do?"

"Architecture. Oh, look who's here."

"Hello, Miss Swan. Miss Brandon" , Mr. Cullen nodded. He was really the last person I wanted to see right now. Why do I feel this way whenever I see him? Why is he even here? Couldn't he have gone somewhere else?

"Excuse me, but did you follow us?", I felt Alice hit my leg.

"This is the closest bar, Miss Swan." Yeah, of course that's why, silly Bella why would he of all people be following you around.

"Do you want a drink, sir?", Alice asked.

"Well, why not. Just a beer will be fine." Edward said with that intelligent but attractive voice.

Alice walked to the bar and I was alone with Mr. Handsome and I felt like I my lips were glued together.

"Miss Swan…." He said with a crooked smile.

"You can say Bella." What the fuck does he want? Why is only the sound of his voice so appealing to me?

"Bella, I haven't had the time to ask this yet, you guys kind of rushed out tonight. Are you interested in joining our math research team?"

I couldn't believe he was asking me this. I mean, me-a girl that comes from Forks, for God's sake. I wasn't even that smart.

"Uh, can I have some time to think about this?"

"Of course, why not."

Alice arrived back at the table right in time for him to open his mouth again.

We chatted some more for an hour or so, and then we parted ways.

"See you tomorrow, Isabella, and think about my proposal."

"I will."

Dear Diary,

I'm falling in love with Mr. Cullen; every word he says just makes me feel more for him. He's got this beautiful crooked smile, green eyes as wide as the moon and gold copper hair.I know it's forbidden to have a relationship with one of your teachers but fuck it, I want him.

Bye for now

"Have a good day, girls", he said as another group of girls was walking out of the room.

"Bella, can you wait a second?" Shit, I hadn't thought about the math project yet, I was too busy thinking about Edward Cullen.

"Did you have the chance to think about my proposal?"

"Yes, but I'm not sure yet." I lied.

"Well, we have a meeting tonight in the library at 8.30 pm. If you want to, you can just come and see whether you'd like to stay or not.", he said with a serious voice? Why do I find it so damn sexy?

"Who else is in the group, anyway ", I asked.

"Just a couple of students." He seemed different than last night, he seemed off. I got my answer when Dr. Masen walked in. Mr. Cullen's eyes told me to go away.

"Well, I have to go.", I gave him a sexy look as I walked out, and there was that crooked smile that I loved so much, again.

This,

"What was that all about?", Alice asked as I walked out.

"You didn't have to wait for me, you know."

"That was not my question."

"He asked me to join a math team last night, and he asked if I'd thought about it yet", I explained because I knew Alice would never let it go. It felt weird that I had only known her for a day and that it already felt like I had known her for years.

"Well, okay…Are you ready to meet Jas?"

"Who's Jas?"

"Jasper is my boyfriend, we're having lunch with him."

"Oh, great.", I tried to smile but my thoughts weren't really with Alice's boyfriend.
