Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of its characters. And sadly I don't own Edward's crooked smile either. Argh!!!

A/N: Hmm, I think this chapter could have gone a bit better, but I wasn't really inspired. I promise to try harder for the next one which I think will finally get the story going and we will learn more about the characters. So, here goes nothing. Enjoy and please review!!!

I woke up about ten minutes before my alarm was supposed to go off. That's when I realized I had actually fallen asleep. I was up most of the night thinking about her, I just couldn't make sense of what had happened. But once I was awake I decided I had stressed enough about the matter and went straight downstairs to get some breakfast and was surprised to find Alice in the kitchen already awake.

"Good morning!" She said excitedly.

"Good morning." I replied.

"Hmm, what has been bothering you, my brother?" She knew me better than anyone.

"It's nothing." I tried to dodge her question by opening the fridge to get some milk.

"Come on." She said with her best pout face. "You know you are not fooling anyone!"

"It's just…" I hesitated for a moment before telling her. I knew she would be the one to talk to about pretty much anything, but nothing had bother me like this before. "It's about that girl at school, I know it's silly, but the way she looked at me yesterday… I could tell she didn't like me and I just couldn't understand why."

"Maybe you just caught her on a bad day, it probably had nothing to do with you." Her best efforts were not really working for me. "Or maybe she just hates new students."

"Come on, Ali! She's pretty much new herself, that can't be it."

"Just don't stress over it, Edward. Really, I highly doubt it was because of you. Promise me you won't wreck your brains over this, ok?"

"Ok, I promise." I didn't know if I would be able to keep that promise, but I couldn't let her know that, she was finally in a good mood.

When we arrived at school Isabella was the only thing in my mind, I wanted to talk to her, to find out if I was the reason for her discomfort and why or if there was something else bothering her. I didn't know it yet, but she wasn't there.

It wasn't until lunch that I noticed her table completely empty, maybe it was usual for her to skip class now and then. But then Angela followed my gaze and saw the empty table and when I looked at her I knew this was not a habit of hers.

I hoped she had just skipped lunch and that she would be in our Biology class, but she wasn't.

I was mad, mad because I wanted to know what happened. I didn't, and it did not seem like I would any time soon. Mad because maybe she had skipped school today because of me and I couldn't make sense of that. But above all I was mad because I didn't get to see her, and that bother me more than anything else and the realization of that fact worried me.

I had pretty much ignored the world around me the entire day, and at first my siblings said nothing, but Alice couldn't help herself on the way back home.

Rosalie was talking about how she hated Jessica Stanley and if she ever got that close to Emmett ever again she would kill her, while Emmett tried to cool her down, but couldn't help smiling. There was a brief moment of silence and then…

"You can't possibly think she missed school because of you, Edward. That's completely ridiculous!"

"Ali, just drop it. I don't want to talk about it." I really wasn't in the mood for that kind of conversation, especially not in my very crowded car.

"You really think the world revolves around you, don't you, Edward?" Emmett's words were barely comprehensible as he was laughing so hard. I knew he would mock me endlessly about this.

"Leave him alone guys, let him be." Jasper always knew when it was better to let things die down and I was thankful to him for that, but despite his best efforts they kept bothering me all the way home. I refused to say another word.

When we got home I went straight to my room and locked the door, I knew I was being crazy, but I couldn't help myself.

She didn't show up at school the next day, or the next one, or the next one. I tried to not think about it much and got to know Angela a little bit better. I didn't really get along with anyone else, but she was a really nice girl and I really did want to get to know her.

It was funny how she confided in me things that a girl wouldn't normally tell a boy, especially having a girlfriend like Alice. But then again, Alice could get a little carried away and be a little too much to handle.

She told me about the guy in my Gym class she liked, Ben Cheney, and how she wanted to ask him for the girls choice dance that was coming up soon. She told me about her annoying little brother and how he always managed to piss her off.

She was the kind of girl who wouldn't talk much and wouldn't force much out of you, but we were comfortable enough around each other to discuss just about anything.

She would tell me things about Isabella, I learned her father had gotten a job as the local sheriff since the last one past away and that is why she moved here, she told me she never tried to socialize at all and that was why no one knew much about her. There were only rumours regarding her life and they weren't from very reliable sources. They went from her being a lesbian, to a terrorist, going through prostitute, having been abused and being suicidal. None of those things were what you would say believable.

The days passed and we stopped talking about her, you could say I was forgetting about her. We went out in group gatherings to the movies or to have dinner to Port Angeles. It was not all that great, but it would suffice for the two years I had left of high school.

The following Monday absolutely all my thoughts of her had vanished and I was actually thinking about how to get Angela and Ben together. I knew they both liked each other but neither one had the guts to step up. I thought of asking Alice for help, but I knew that would be betraying Angela's trust and that Ali would go overboard.

I thought about it all through breakfast, and the drive to school, and all my morning classes and I was thinking about it at lunch until suddenly I hear Mike speak:

"Dude, the Swan girl is staring at you" I instantly turned my head towards her table and the moment I lay eyes on her she looked down on her food tray.

Why had she come back? Why had she gone away to begin with? The questions I had reappeared all at once and I had to look away to get myself together. She would be sitting next to me in Biology class once again, would it be the same as last time? I didn't have to ponder about much longer since the bell rang signalling it was time for class already.

A/N: So, kind of a cliff-hanger, ha? I wasn't really ready for the bio class just yet, sorry. But I think next chapter will be a lot better.

You know, the other day I was thinking about the story and this question came to my mind: how will Edward find out Bella is a vampire??? I mean, we all know how Bella does in Twilight, but Edward doesn't know Jacob and even if he did Jacob wouldn't just spit it out and Edward wouldn't hit on him to get the information, would he? lol. A gay member on the pack would bring a whole lot of issues!!! LOL

I take any suggestions/ideas you may have.

Please review, tell me what you thought, good, bad, I don't care, give me your opinions and I will definitely take them into consideration to make this story better.

And for the cliché of all the stories I have read here in which couldn't be truer:

Reviews make me happy, so please, please review!!!
