"Edward Cullen"

Chapter 2:

I didn't dare to look up at his perfect face.

"Here," his velvet voice whispered. I was frozen. I couldn't move.

"Alice Cullen"

"Here…" Her voice was just the same, and it came from the back of the room. I looked up to see my best friend that I never got to say good-bye to and noticed she was right next to him. They where both so beautiful it hurt.

As I finished the roll I didn't once look up again to see his god-like face. I walked to my desk and got the syllabus.

'Keep your cool Bells' I kept chanting over and over in my head. 'You can do this.'

"Here is your class syllabus. Its pretty much self explanatory. No misbehaving or else you get detention, the grading scale is on here, what we will be learning is also here. Have your parents sign the last page and turn it in next class." As I finished talking, I passed by Edwards desk and placed the paper on the desk. His cold hand went over my warm one.

"Bella?" he whispered.

Don't fool yourself Bella, he's just confused.

"Since today is the first day of school, we wont be having much of a real learning day. But, I will hand out the first book we are going to read as a class. Romeo and Juliet."

I walked over to the pile of books and sighed. There's a lot.

"Does anybody want to help out their favorite teacher today?" I asked sheepishly as the class chuckled.

"I will," god, what is he doing?

"Just pass one out to everybody on the left half of the class." I spoke barely in a whisper, knowing that he could hear me. After passing out the books, I said,

"Okay! Now you can take the time to get to know each other." I said to the class as I sat down at my desk. The bell rang and I finally had some time to myself. I was trying to calm myself down when Marie burst through the door.

"Mommy!" she screamed as she jumped into my lap.

"Marie!" I said with just as much enthusiasm thinking everybody was gone. We both giggled until she said,

"Mommy? Who are they? Are they new?"

I froze. He was still here, in the room. And now he knows I have a kid. Not good. Slowly, I turned around. He had a look of pure shock and hurt on his face. Hurt? Why hurt? I looked over at Alice, and she was just shocked. Very quickly, they composed their faces.

"Mommy?" I completely forgot she was here for a second.

"Oh! Yes, hun, their new here. Marie, this is Alice and Edward Cullen. Their brother and sister. Alice, Edward, this is my daughter Marie."

"Who's the dad?" Alice asked, looking at Marie trying to find any recognition of people back in forks.

"Anybody we know?"

"Mommy, how would she know Daddy? I don't even know Daddy…" I know it was hard on her to not know her father, but I try my hardest. I once made a promise to her (and myself) that ill find a daddy for her one day, but no such luck so far.

I looked at Marie and then at Alice, who was now looking at me.

"Um, honey, why don't you go to the office and see if Ms. Smith needs any help."

"Ok mom, I love you."

"I love you too."

I pulled out a sticky note and wrote a note for Marie to go to Ms. Smith, the office assistant.

Ms. Smith,

Please watch Marie for me. I have to talk with some students. Please send her back to my classroom after this period is over.

Thanks a tun,

Bella

I gave her the note, kissed her forehead, then she left me in a room with two vampires, one being my ex-boyfriend. Great.
