It's the 2nd chapter! It took me little while to write this...
MY OFFICIAL DISCLAIMER: I do not own Twilight :( .... but this whole story is my plot. No suing!
Dusk and Dawn: Chapter 2
Intrigued
"I'll get it." Alice walked towards the door. There was a tall, thin figure behind it.
"Hey, Bella?" Alice turned my attention away from the window, where the train was steadily fast. "Do you want to join Edward and the others out in the lounge?"
"Sure", I stood up behind Rosalie who had turned her phone off and walked out the door.
The lounge was decorated with a glass chandelier and there were heavy, scarlet curtains that hung. The middle of the lounge was a sofa that had been made into a circle for everyone's convenience and there were enclosed sofas at the sides of the cabin. This was more than just a train. I spotted Jasper and Emmett sitting at one of the enclosed sofas.
"Hey", Jasper and Emmett said in unison.
We took our seats while the waiters served drinks at the coffee table in front of us.
"Bella", I heard Jasper call my name. "Are you from Forks?"
"Yes. Forks High School."
"We should get together some time." Alice interjected. "We're from Alistair High School. It's not too far from your school."
I smiled; being timid usually had the best of me.
"Right, Edward?" Alice asked him. He's been in silence ever since he walked with us the lounge. I looked at him, his eyes did not shift from the class he held in his hands. I only caught him nod his head.
"Why are you awfully quiet, Edward?" Rosalie asked.
"Yes", Emmett spoke. "You weren't like this a few minutes ago."
Edward didn't speak; he lifted the glass and drank. His eyes were pressed on the glass. He suddenly stood up.
"I'm tired", his voice was low and lanky. He walked out the door. Judging by his reaction, he must despise seeing me.
"Bella?" Alice called me; she was folding some of her shirts. "Could you pass me that."
I handed her the camera which laid on the nightstand. "Have you ever considered modeling, Bella?"
Modeling. I don't think so.
"No." I replied curtly.
I caught a flash. Alice just smiled at me.
"You look good in candid pictures." She encouraged as she flipped through her photos.
I smiled shyly and went on with reading my book.
I heard a couple of more clicks and camera flashes. I shifted my eyes to her direction.
"Are you annoyed?" she held two fingers up for 'peace'.
I smiled and went back to reading my Virgil book.
There were a couple of more bright flashed that shot my eyes when the door finally opened.
"Alice", she sighed.
"Yes?"
"Would you please put your camera away? It's getting late and I need sleep; I'd prefer it if your loud flashes and blinding lights exasperate me." She dropped herself on her bed.
Alice pouted as she hid her camera away and took out her toothbrush.
It was six twenty-eight in the morning when my eyelids open. I found Alice already playing with her camera while Rosalie was still fast asleep.
I took a quick bath and dressed in a lavender shirt and blue jeans. I looked out the window, free from fog, the train moved fast and the trees we passed by were unidentified.
Alice jumped off her bed after keeping her camera tied around her neck.
"I'll go check on Jasper. Bye", she headed to the door.
"Bye", I replied as I sat on my bed and took out my i-Pod. My phone rang, Mom.
"Hello?"
"Bella?"
"Yes?"
"Have you arrived in camp yet?"
"Not yet; maybe in an hour or two."
"I see" I noticed Rosalie wake up and headed to the bathroom to take a bath. "Call me when you need anything", she reassured me for the millionth time.
"Okay. Bye, Mom." I hung up my phone. Someone knocked on the door; I reluctantly stood up to open it.
Edward?
"I'm sorry, Alice is with Jasper. But are you here to see Rosalie?"
"No, I'll go find Alice", he smiled. His mood was much better and his tone wasn't as low. "Have you seen a red pen, with my initial on it?" He inquired.
"Right." I remembered the pen I found the other night. "I'm sorry, I forgot to give it to you." I walked to the nightstand and took the pen out of the drawer.
"I'm really sorry." He took the pen from my hand.
The moment of silence didn't break. Perhaps it was because none of us could fathom of what to say and since there had always been a barrier with me and others who I don't quite now. My eyes were on other directions and they met his with a few glances. My breath became heavy, though.
"I—" We started in unison.
"I—" I started, but we were in unison again. He smiled amusingly, with a perfect smile and perfect teeth.
"I have to go", he smiled. "See you, Bella." he walked away with his hands in his pocket.
My stomach began to churn and I felt the feeling of 'butterflies' as I closed the door behind me; Rosalie was sitting on her bed, hair wet, but combed.
"Intriguing conversation", she mused.
I gave her a smile as I sat back on my bed to grab my book. I didn't read it, the conversation was intriguing. The feeling of anxiety in my stomach hadn't disappeared yet, nor did the smile I had on my face. Edward.
I kind of like this chapter. I hope you guys did, too. I love the 'extremely-short' conversation between Edward and Bella. And please suggest some scenes you would like to add, send me a message. Since you've finished this chapter, go, send me a review, please? It seems weird, but it makes me want to post more of my stories. REVIEW!!!
