A/N: I know, I know, I completely and totally suck. It's been waaaaaaaaaay too long. I've been lazy and had a lot going on, but won't make excuses because I know I should have updated sooner.
Well here it goes, please read and review and check the A/N at the bottom, I need your opinion on something...
I also reviewed the chapters so far and fixed some errors. Please check the end of Chapter 3, I changed it so I would write one of my favourite lines from the book.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't own Edward, or Twilight or anything Stephenie Meyer created.
I made my way to English by inertia, my mind was somewhere else. Every day I understood less and less. What had just happened? My mind was everywhere but in class, the teacher actually called my attention a couple of times.
I needed time alone to think, anxiety was eating me away. Time passed slowly but finally the bell rang and it was time for history with Alice. I was both excited and scared about it. I desperately wanted to talk to someone but at the same time I knew Alice would make a huge deal out of it. Either way she would know something was up by just looking at me so I would have to spill and so I did…
"What's up with you, Cullen?" Said Alice in a playful voice staring at my still somewhat dumbfounded face.
"Actually, the strangest thing happened today…" and so I told her and as if knowing that was exactly what I wanted she sat quietly next to me until I finished, her smile growing wider with every word that came out from my mouth.
When I was done she almost screamed out in joy but had to hold back before the teacher noticed.
"That's great news, Eddie. See, I told you things would work out. You should have a little more faith in me." She said in mock offence.
"Still, I don't know, it's all just so weird. I still have a million questions running around in my head."
"They'll be plenty of time to get answers, don't worry. I won't even get offended by the fact that you're skipping the dance."
As the class went on we continued discussing coming to no conclusions. I noticed Jessica avoided eye contact with me at all costs, I guess she was offended by me turning her down, but honestly I was in no state to even care.
The rest of the morning went by in a blur. I was too caught up in my own thoughts to pay any attention.
Suddenly, it was time for lunch. As I stepped in the cafeteria I noticed she wasn't at her usually table and I felt disappointed.
I got my food and sat at the table with the rest. Jessica was back to her bubbly self which only annoyed me further. Until she said something that caught my attention:
"The Swan girl is staring you at again." She said in disgust.
I looked at her table and there she was, smiling at me. Once our eyes met she motioned for me to join her. I must have had the silliest look on my face because everyone on the table was looking at me like I was an idiot and she was trying to hold back a giggle.
I was suddenly distracted by Jessica again. "Does she mean you?"
"I guess I should go find out." I said as I stood up not really caring if she heard me or not.
I could feel eyes burning at my back as I walked away.
"Would you like to join me for lunch today?" She said with the most musical voice once I reached her table.
"Sure." I stammered out while sitting down across from her.
Silence bore into us until she decided to break it.
"You're not hungry today?"
I noticed I hadn't brought my tray and that was why she was asking. "Not really."
"I think your friends are angry with me for stealing you."
"They'll survive."
"I might not give you back though." She said smiling wider. I had a little trouble getting use to this new side of her; I still had some trouble coping with her mood swings.
"I think I can get away if I wish to." I smiled back. She looked at me like she doubted it.
"So…, what brought this on?" I asked out of curiosity and in an attempt to change the subject.
"I told you already, I'm tired of trying to stay away from you. So I'm giving up."
"Giving up?" I repeated in confusion.
"Yes… giving up trying to be good. I'm just going to do what I want now, and let the chips fall were they may." Her smiled faded as she explained, and her voice transformed to a harsh tone.
"You know I have no idea what you're talking about, right?" I asked frustrated.
"I'm counting on that."
"So… were does this leave us? Are we friends now?
"I…"
"What then?" I was trying my hardest to try to understand.
"Well, we can try, I suppose. But I'm warning you now that I'm not a good friend for you." As she spoke her eyes saddened.
"You say that a lot."
"That's because you won't listen. You really should, if you were smart you'd stay away from me."
"I guess we can conclude my intelligence level is not so great then."
We fell into silence again. "What are you thinking?"
"I'm trying to figure out what you are."
"And how is that coming so far?" She asked slightly amused.
"Not very good, I'm having a bit of trouble getting to conclusions."
"And what are your theories then?"
"They're too silly to mention."
"C'mon, just one?" Her pleading face reminded me of Alice's pout.
"Wonder woman?" I let out sheepishly.
She let out a loud giggle. "You don't have much of an imagination, do you?"
I tried to be angry at her for mocking me but it was hard to.
"You're not even close."
"Sorry, that's all I've got for now. Why don't you just tell me and get it over with?" I said in a harsher tone.
Her smile faded and her face was serious as she stared away from me.
"Fine, I'll figure it out eventually."
"I wish you wouldn't try." She said still looking away as deep sadness once again filled her eyes.
"Because…?"
"Why if I'm not the heroine? Why if I am the bad one?" Her eyes bore into mine once again and she waited for an answer as if somehow scared of it.
"Oh, I see."
"Do you?"
"You're dangerous?" A smile played in my lips as I said that, but deep inside me something clicked. Such a beautiful angel wouldn't, couldn't, but what if she was?
"But not bad" I let the smile out completely to show her that I was not afraid, I wanted to make her sadness go away. "No, I don't believe that you're bad."
"You're wrong." I thought she was going to cry as she spoke, but she did not.
"Can you do me a favour?" I asked in a more serious tone.
"That depends on what you want."
"It's not much. I just wondered… if you could warn me beforehand the next time you decide to ignore me for my own good. Just so I'm prepared" I looked into her eyes as I spoke and because of it, it took twice the effort to speak.
"That sounds fair" she said smiling widely.
Suddenly I noticed the cafeteria was almost empty. I jumped to my feet. "We're going to be late."
"I'm not going to class today"
"Why not?"
"It's healthy to ditch class now and then" She smiled up at me.
"Well, I have to go."
"I'll see you later, then" And with that she was gone.
A/N: Sooooo, did you like it. I think it's getting easier to get away from the book, but some things I can't really change much.
So, I was thinking, remember I was having problems with all those parts that were going to be difficult to write the other way around? Well, I thought, what the hell! Let's do it anyway. So, Edward is chased by girls in Port Angeles, he goes on piggy back rides with Bella, Jacob will become Jane or something like that and he will hit on her to get info, and a lot of other crazy things. Let me know what you think, ok? I really want to know.
And I have a goal for this chapter, I want 10 reviews (ambitious, I know) but I promise if I get them I will try my hardest to get a new chapter within a month.
Thank you for putting up with me!!!
Please review and let me know what you think!!!
Reviews make me smile and really make me happy! :-)
