Disclaimer- I didn't post a disclaimer for the past two chapters because I didn't know how to. Believe me. I can be very stupid. I don't think simple. I didn't even think of the fact that maybe the only thing I had to do to post a disclaimer was type it in and bold it. Anyways, back to the actual disclaimer. Of course I own Twilight! Yeesh. Don't you know that my name is Stephenie Meyer? That was sarcasm, in case you didn't notice, which I highly doubt.

I gazed out my beautiful French window and feigned amazement without losing my charming smile I reserved for days like these. It wasn't raining today, thought the clouds were dense and opaque.

Of course, I was just rehearsing. I had known that it would rain the day before yesterday, in the morning, when I was packing my school bag with Jasper. My eyes had glazed over and I had leaned onto Jasper. He was pretty concerned, as usual, but once he'd sensed my emotions and found I was all right, he asked what my vision was about. It felt really nice to be able to confide in Jasper, even though he laughed in relief when I told him it wouldn't rain this morning. He was my best friend, not to mention my lover.

It had been only yesterday that Edward had left to Alaska, and I was already worried about Edward to the extremes (there was a point where I thought I might burst). I had no idea so far where he was and when he was returning. If he was returning, that is. Edward over-thinks everything, so I couldn't catch a glimpse of anything he'd planned. So far, though, from my prior knowledge, he was in Alaska. I assumed he was avoiding everyone and seeking the answer in the realm of Mother Nature, where he said he could think most clearly. I had no way of knowing if that were true or not. Perhaps he was with… Tanya? Or maybe he was paying a visit to the rest of the vampire coven in Denali while he was there.

I slung my bag over my shoulder and sprinted to the car. Rosalie was driving the Volvo to school today, so I needn't have rushed, but with nothing to do at night besides stare out my French window, I cherished the idea of something to do, even if that counted running at breakneck speed to the Volvo.

While I ran, ignoring the blurring green shrubbery whizzing past, I gained a bit more knowledge. Three visions in ninety two seconds! That was a first… Edward would come back in about five days. I saw Bella at school today, looking at our table forlornly, as if yearning for Edward. And my last vision told me that Rosalie would beat me to the car, as she was already there.

When I arrived, Rosalie and I waited in silence for our lovers to bundle into the car with us. We spotted Emmett and Jasper far away, waving to us. I scowled and suddenly they appeared at the door of the car, jiggling the door handle. They climbed into the backseat and immediately took to thumb wrestling.

Sometimes I wondered how come vampires could be so beautiful, majestic, alluring, and at the same time… dorky.

By the time I got out of the car, I'd already had another vision. This time, I saw Bella. She was looking like a dog treading water, her face a little sallow today. At least she was better off than the first time I saw her— at the time, she'd looked like a drowning cat. I saw boredom in her eyes.

Well, if she had any issues with boredom, it was most likely nothing compared to the overwhelming, massive tidal wave of bored and dull emotions flooding through my head and freezing all my joints. I endured that every. Single. Day.

Seriously, I was so bored I was practically paralyzed. I was so wrapped up and reveling in that new bit of consternation I felt, I didn't notice my feet carrying me to my first class.

There was absolutely nothing out teacher could teach us that we, the Cullens, didn't know already. So basically, going to school was just like staring at a wall for a quarter of the day with a little droning in the background. I could tell that it was going to be a long, long day.

And I was right. After my morning classes, I was so much engulfed in boredom that I would have cried. Vampire eyes can't cry. It could be a good thing sometimes, but right now it was a bad thing.

Right now, it was last period. I squirmed in my seat before I abruptly stopped, remembering that it wasn't very ladylike. I rolled my eyes and glanced at the clock. My hands, if they were human, would have been sweating bullets right now. I was that bored. My fists were clenched so tightly I wasn't sure if they'd ever open again. Every one of my muscles were tense. The effects of enduring boredom for most of your life is truly amazing.

Instead, I focused on Edward. It wasn't like I could have a vision at will, but a girl could dream, right? Once I'd decided that I could, I started trying really hard.

I didn't want to admit it, but my attempts were, in a way, fruitless. Of course, I had to give myself breaks in between attempted visions, because I had to see if Mr. H would notice my glazed look and call on me. Mr. H didn't notice much, but it was much better to be safe than sorry.

For the past half hour, I'd only managed to wheedle out the fact that Edward was indeed coming back, but God knows when. It did make me feel a tad better, but Edward overthinks everything (A/N: Yes, I know I sort of repeated myself, but you get my point, right?), so his mind tended to change a lot. He never actually set on a decision often.

And what was the use of knowing he'd come back when I didn't even know when? If he actually came back, I mean. He could return tomorrow, or in three months, for all I knew.

I knew that there wasn't anything I could do about the situation at hand now. I didn't like it, but that's how life is.

I was interrupted from my candid thoughts by a vision. The teacher was going to ask me a question after he got up from grading our exam papers from last week. With my vampire speed, I gathered up my notes, and scanned them for the answer. I knew the answer already, but I desperately needed to do something.

As predicted, Mr. H asked me a question, and I answered too fast. He had barely finished the question before I answered him. Mr. H raised an eyebrow, but I knew I was off the hook. I was his favorite student after all. He must have just assumed that I had listened very attentively to his lecture. He thought too highly of himself. No one ever really listened to him. They were either bored to death, or sleeping. The only reason I knew the answers to his questions was because I'd been to high school countless times already. I flashed him a cheesy smile, which must've looked like a charming smile to him. Bemused, Mr. H gave me a little nod and moved on to interrogate the unfortunate student sitting next to me. She wouldn't have an answer. I had also foreseen that.

Suddenly, and unexpectedly, my surroundings blurred. I felt a ghost of hope. Perhaps Edward was coming back! As I foresaw the future, my eyes glazed over, and then I returned to reality, sighing and swallowing a gigantic lump of disappointment forming in my throat. What I saw was that the bell was going to ring soon.

The bell rang. Speak of the devil.

I got up and stalked out of the classroom. I knew that the chances of Edward appearing next to the car was about a million to one, but I still needed to make sure he wasn't. There was still hope, I reasoned with myself.

Well, it wasn't like I could do anything but hope anyways.

A/N: Thanks for reading this! As mentioned in the disclaimer, I am unbelievably held back by my own stupidity. So basically, I didn't know how to write an author's note either. *sigh*

Please review! It only takes about thirty seconds (unless your computer is slow). They give me motivation to write and post more. Help me get to 10-15 review, okay? The press of a button and the typing of a few words and another press of a button really makes a difference! Thanks.
