Hey everyone, just wanted to say thanks very much for the reviews and this time I think I might put a playlist up for the chapters, I am interested to see if the songs I listen to do actually influence my writing! Enjoy and feel free to drop in a review, they inspire me.

Chapter 5 Imagination or not?

I stormed out of gym in the foulest mood and the pouring rain didn't help one bit, all I wanted to do was go home and curl up in a little ball for the rest of my life, or at least until high school was over. Stupid Edward, stupid gym class, stupid, Forks high!

I pulled my hood over my head and ran as fast as I dared in the direction of Alice's car narrowly avoiding falling on my face as I reached the already opened door.

"Hurry Bella and get in, you're going to get soaked!" She chirped happily. I rolled my eyes as I climbed in and quickly fastened my seat belt making a mental note not to be hard on Alice for her brother's attitude problem.

"So how did you like your first day?" She asked innocently as she started the engine.

"It was okay I suppose but I don't think Edward liked me very much." I mumbled back, for some reason the mention of his name made me nervous.

"Yeah sorry about him, he's not good with new people, I'm sure he'll warm up to you just give him a chance." Alice replied like she wasn't surprised at all, maybe it really was just Edward's normal behaviour after all.

I sat silently for a while as we sped past the rows of trees that lined pretty much every road of Forks and allowed Alice to hum to herself melodically. "Tomorrow you should eat lunch with us Bella, and I promise Edward will be on his best behaviour." She said with a sly smile that made me suspicious.

"Sure. But you should make sure it is okay with Edward first, I don't want to upset him anymore than necessary." I replied quietly, still a little bitter about our meeting.

"Oh nonsense Bella, I can have whoever I want to sit at my table and Edward will have to like it or get over it." She stated matter of factly.

A few minutes later we pulled up outside my home, I said goodbye to Alice and ran as quickly as I could toward the front door. It was all going so well until I caught my foot on something and went crashing to the ground, only just managing to get my hands to the ground to break my fall. My face went red as a beetroot but when I turned around Alice was already gone. She hadn't seen my embarrassing fall and I was damn grateful for that, I didn't need another member of the Cullen family thinking I was a moron or deranged.

I slowly pulled myself off the ground and cursed at the cuts on that had formed on my hands. I couldn't go one bloody day without grazing myself or getting some kind of bruise. On the bright side Charlie had remembered how accident prone I was and there was an entire cupboard dedicated to medical supplies. It had everything from band aid's to pain killers, definitely well prepared.

I pulled out the steriliser and a few cotton buds and cleaned the cuts on my hand. They weren't so bad, didn't even need a band aid so that was a relief. I could just imagine Renee's voice right now, she would probably be muttering something about how I could fall over thin air. This thought made me smile as I started dinner and got ready to turn in for the evening.

I had been home for just under 10 minutes when I heard Alice coming up the drive, her thoughts filled with images of the girl from biology and I wondered silently how I was going to make it through the year with something as sweet and tempting as her right next to me.

"Edward I want to talk to you." I heard her think, she must have known I was listening in. Great I was in trouble now, I could tell by the tone of her thoughts.

A few seconds later, she was stood in the sitting room staring up at me in a way that only Alice can.

"Alice please don't look at me like that just tell me what you want." I said rolling my eyes as I did.

"Edward I wanted to talk to you about Bella. Now before you chip in I get that she smells good to you, that's why I told you to hunt before school." She started and I didn't but in, even if I did want to.

"Well she is sitting with us at lunch tomorrow and I would be very grateful if you didn't scare her off, you won't hurt her either so don't worry about that. Go hunt some deer again tonight." She stopped talking and I took this as my cue to speak.

"Alice she just... her scent is like nothing I have even smelled before, it's.... intoxicating, and her mind, I can't read her thoughts. At first I thought it was because I was concentrating so hard on not biting her my little gift wasn't working but I tried again later and I got nothing." I said, it was so easy to talk to Alice, especially when she looked at you with those eyes.

"Hmmmm, you should talk to Carlisle about that and do try to be nice, it's not her fault that she smells irresistible to you, I think that you might like her, she's very interesting." I snarled at Alice's words, I knew it wasn't her fault and I knew that she was interesting and that is what made everything all the more difficult.

"Edward do you promise to be nice?" She said, her pixie like feature wrapping me further around her little finger.

"Fine Alice I promise, but if anything goes wrong I'll send Rose after you." I replied giving in, I just hoped that she was right, I could never live with myself if I ruined everything for my family, and all because of some girl!

I didn't sleep well last night, Edward's eyes were etched into my mind and his angered expression plagued my dreams, I felt physically sick at the thought of facing him again today. I was contemplating faking an illness and taking the day off when my phone started buzzing.

"Hey Bella it's Alice." I heard her chirp.

"Oh hi Alice." I replied sounding about as enthusiastic as I felt.

"Don't hate me but Edward is driving us to school today, my car broke and Rose won't let him ride with her so....." I almost died right then, he was going to kill me I was sure of it.

"I am not riding in the front!" I said realising I sounded like a child and not actually caring.

"That's okay Jasper will sit near Edward, oh and don't keep him waiting or he might kill me." She laughed and I gulped.

"Bye Alice, see you soon." I replied then hung up the phone and rushed into the bathroom.

I had already woken up late and now I was in a mad rush to get ready just so Edward wouldn't get angry. Why did I even care if he didn't like me, he was just some boy right?

Questions whirled around in my mind as I showered and fear crept in somewhere between blow drying my hair and eating a cereal bar. Just as I swallowed the final piece I heard a horn beep outside and almost fell of the seat I had been sitting on. I picked up my school bag and practically sprinted out the door into the rain.

"Hey Bella." Alice said as she opened the passenger door for me.

I smiled at her as I climbed in and then sat with my head down not making eye contact with anyone in the car, to say that the atmosphere was tense would be quite an understatement.

"Sooo Bella what did you do last night?" Alice asked breaking the silence.

"Nothing really, homework... I made Charlie lunch and then I went to sleep." I lied about the sleep part, I spent most of the night thinking of Edward but they didn't need to know that.

"Oh." Was her response, was she hoping for something more dramatic like skydiving or something.

Edward turned on the stereo and a song I recognised started to play, one of my mother's favourites,

"Clair de Lune" I whispered to myself sadly as I remembered Renee's smiling face washing the dishes to this particular track.

"You like this?" A male voice asked.

When I looked up to answer I was surprised to see that we had already arrived at school and Edward was looking directly at me, he must have been the one to ask the question.

"..Y..yes I do, it was one of my mother's favourites." I replied nervously.

"Hmmm, it is a beautiful track." He replied seemingly oblivious to my use of the past tense when referring to my mother.

"I will see you at lunch Isabella." He said as he vacated the vehicle and headed off toward the main building.

By this point I was more than confused, he had gone from hostile to quite polite in the space of 24 hours, what a difference a day makes.

"See Bella I told you he wasn't so bad." Alice chirped.

"Yeah.. I guess he was just having a bad day yesterday." I said simply.

Alice laughed in her usual bell like tone and then leaned into Jasper. "We better get going, I wouldn't want to make you late." She said.

At that Alice, Jasper and I walked briskly toward the school building to start day two of my time at Forks high, the only thing on my mind was Edward and biology. I silently hoped that today would go better, there was just something about him, even though he scared me half to death I wanted to know more.
