AHHHHHHHH!!! A CHAPTER!!! Sorry it took so long! I had to read all your ideas cuz I've been SO busy and stuff, so read!!! I'm only expecting a few reviews, so yeah.

I got out of bed and quickly changed into my outfit. I hurried into the bathroom and plugged in the curling iron. I put some mousse into my hair to make the curls stay. I had to get ready quick. I was going to pick up Alice and Edward.

I curled my hair to perfection, then ran into my room and grabbed my hearing aids. I put them on and grabbed my backpack. I hurried down the stairs, two at a time, and grabbed a quick breakfast. I threw my sneakers on and ran out the door. I put the key in the ignition and backed out of the driveway, almost taking down the neighbor's mailbox.

I hurried down the weaving streets until I came to the Cullen's ridiculously long driveway. I drove up, pushing the pedal to the max. The car was groaning with protest, and I could feel it as it chugged up to the front of the house.

When the drive way came into view, I saw Alice and Edward standing on the steps. Alice was bouncing, unable to contain herself, and Edward was staring at me with a strange expression. I smiled and waved, pulling up in front of them. They came down the steps, ever so gracefully, and Edward opened the door, letting Alice climb in first.

"Hi, Bella! I'm glad you wore the outfit!" Alice exclaimed, hugging me. I gave her an awkward shoulder pat, and pulled away.

"Yeah."

"You curled your hair, too!"

"Yeah, and I even used the tips you gave me."

She clapped and Edward rolled his eyes, closing the car door.

The ride to school was filled with clothes gossip, Alice mostly talking. She explained that in Paris the previous night, there was a fashion show, and she talked about how some of the new fashions were cheesy. "I mean, who can pull off bell bottoms and a fur coat? Particularly one that is pink leopard?"

I nodded, not really paying attention, for my thoughts were elsewhere. Where, exactly? On the person who was sitting on the other end of the vehicle, not speaking at all. He was staring outside the window, his eyes slightly glazed over. His face was set in determination, like as if he was waiting for something to happen. I tried to push him out of my head, but that did not work.

We finally arrived to school. We searched for a parking space, and when we found one, I parked and we climbed out. Everyone stared at us the moment they saw us climb out. I could feel a burn go up my cheeks and I turned, trying to hide my blush. Alice came over to me.

"Thanks for the ride, Bella! That was so nice of you!"

"Oh, it's nothing, besides I owe you-"

"Owe us? How did that happen?"

"You guys gave me rides, so I returned the favor," I said, not understanding Alice's confused expression.

"You don't have to do that," a soft, velvet voice said behind me.

"Oh, I wanted to, don't worry. It's the least I could do," I said, my mouth shooting off, my brain lost somewhere behind it.

Edward smiled, making my heart beat funky, and said, "Well, then, I guess we owe you again, huh?"

He and Alice laughed. I blushed and smiled, then Alice said, "We better hurry to our lockers."

We nodded and headed towards the direction of the school, Alice in front of Edward and I. When we almost made it to the steps, Edward touched my arm softly and said, "You know that we trust you, right?"

I turned to him, utterly confused. "Yeah, and I trust you guys to."

What was he thinking? Was he going to tell me some dangerous secret, or what?

Okay, I updated! Now, if you want to, review!! : )
