Chapter Seven

I woke up to being extremely, and strangely cold. It wasn't uncomfortable, like being outside for long hours in the snow. I cracked my eyes opened, and looked at the alarm clock. 5:45. Okay, time to get up.

I slumped out of bed and crawled into the bathroom, grabbing my necessities along the way. I got into the shower and let the hot water warm my skin and calm my tense muscles. 'Why was I tense?' I thought to myself.

I shrugged it off, not sure what to think. I let my mind wander, letting it switch subjects quickly. My mind happened to land on the subject of my window opening and the white flash. I thought of what it could've been.

My imagination.

I smiled at myself and climbed out, thinking how mental I was being. I blew my hair dry and ran across the hallway to my room. When I walked into my room, I felt eyes on me. I grabbed my clothes and ran back into the bathroom, locking the door. I quickly got dressed and put my hair into a messy bun.

Once I was satisfied with myself, I cautiously went back to my room, opening the door carefully. I looked around the room slowly, noting how it felt empty. I walked in, closing the door. I looked at the window, and it was closed. Locked, in fact. Yep, my imagination decided to have fun with me.

I grabbed my cell phone, jacket, and hearing aids, cramming them into my backpack. I hurried down the stairs to get to school on time. I shoved breakfast in my mouth as I stuffed my feet into my shoes. I opened my backpack and pulled out my jacket and hearing aids, and put them on. I zipped my bag closed, grabbed my keys, and left.

I hurried to school, being a minute and a half late. I ran to my class, tripping and almost cracking my head open. I pulled the door open and looked in. The teacher wasn't there. I hurried to my seat, all the students staring at me, and sat down. I pulled my notebook out of my backpack and opened it, prepared for when the teacher walked in.

We sat there for about ten more minutes before the teacher rushed in. "Sorry I'm late. I woke up late and traffic is horrible in the morning." He put his things on his desk, and the day began.

Classes dragged by, blending into one another until lunch. When lunch arrived, I quickly hurried to the cafeteria. When I entered, I looked over to the Cullen table and saw Emmett and Rosalie sitting there. They waved at me as soon as I caught eye contact with them. I was getting in line when I heard a "Bella!" I turned and saw Alice running over to me, Jasper chuckling as he followed his girlfriend.

"Alice!" I said, giving her a hug as soon as she landed at my side. She began talking to me instantly, continuing doing so till we sat down at the table. She was talking when she suddenly stopped in mid-sentence and turned around. I turned to see where she was looking at and saw Edward, by himself at a table. When I had looked at him, he raised his hand up and motioned for me to come over. I turned to Alice, who smiled and gave me a small push.

I stood up, receiving a few stares and nervously walked over, forcing myself to not run out of the lunchroom. He smiled at my hesitation, making my heart flutter. I sat down next to him, blushing. "Yes?" I asked.

"How are you?" he asked, biting his lip.

"School sucks."

"Touche."

I giggled and he looked at me, raising his eyebrows. "Hum?" he asked.

"Nothing."

"Okay, how are your classes?"

"Good…"

"That's good."

"What do you want to ask, Edward?"

"Nothing in particular. Just want to know more about you."

I nodded, and said, "My favorite color today is blue." He looked at me confused and I amended. "You wanted to learn more."

"Yes, I do."

I looked at him, my eyes catching his. They were a soft golden. I blurted out, "Do you have contacts?"

"No," he replied, looking more confused.

"You're eyes change color."

"No."

I raised an eyebrow. "Yes, they do."

"You're very observant. Did you notice that most guys have taken a liking to you?"

"Quit trying to change the subject."

His lip twitched and then he said, "Okay, yes, my eyes do change color."

"Do you know why?"

"Yes."

"But you won't tell me."

"Not now, at least."

I nodded and looked down at my food. I had eaten everything. I looked up and around, noticing that the bell was about to ring. I thought and asked, "Are you human?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"Your family and yourself are so different."

"You are, too."

"I'm different? How so?"

"You're the only human that can stand to me near me."

"So you aren't human?"

"I think we've clarified that." I nodded and looked around. Edward seemed to notice and said, "You better get to class."

"You're not coming?"

"No, I'm going to skip."

"Really?"

"Yep. Sometimes, ditching is…healthy."

"Okay, then. See you later, Edward." I stood up and grabbed my things.

"Goodbye, Bella."

I ran to class, managing to get to the class before the bell rang. I sat down, and tried to ignore the empty feeling in me that my science partner was missing today.

I know, that was a short chapter, but I'm terribly sorry. I've…um… got something on my mind lately and my sister is taking over the computer for a while now. I'll update by Tuesday, but only if I get 15 reviews!!!

Hannah! I said I'd leave a message for you and here it is! Maybe we should hang out tomorrow, or Tuesday and you can help me with my "writer's block". Tell Bob I'm sorry and I forgive him. Fred likes me again and he says hi. I think he was PMSing, but don't tell him I said that! LOL
