Sorry it took so long to update, but I just started my freshman year in college in August, and it's proving to be rather difficult. So again sorry!

I threw open the door to my bedroom and crashed onto my bed. My heart felt like it was breaking when I saw that girl put her arms around Edward and then kissing him like there was no tomorrow. Why would Edward say such a sweet and, I thought, flirty thing to me if he was going out with someone else, someone he possibly loved. It didn't make sense any of it! My irrational feelings and his irrational behavior! This isn't like anything I have had to deal with before, so I was unsure how to approach the situation or even I should approach Edward. My heart felt like it did a flip in my chest with even the mere mention of his name. I had to do something; I couldn't go through the whole year with these feelings of elation and pain. I had to know the truth, the whole story. Like did he really like me? Who was that girl? Did I have a chance with such a God like creature? I made my way over to the old beat up computer that Renee felt like was a necessity when I moved in with Charlie; I sat there and contemplated what I should say to him as the computer slowly booted up.

Edward,

Your note was…..sweet. Truly the kindest thing that anyone has ever said to me and it makes me feel as if I can one day call Forks home, but I need to know why. Why would anyone say such a sweet thing to a person that they just met and hardly knew? And why would you say it if you were already with someone else? (I say you and that girl in the parking lot after school). I am just very confused by this….direct action, and I need to know if it was intentional.

Bella

There short and to the point. Now I just hoped that I had enough courage to actually give it to him.

The next morning I woke up earlier, barely able to sleep the night before with thoughts of Edward running through my mind. But it worked out well because I was now able to at least make my appearance look together and presentable…..just in case Edward's words did have a meaning behind them. I had settled with on a pair of dark wash jeans, and a loose fit white bohemian top with a white tank top underneath. Together with a pair of flip flops the outfit looks causal but also very charming.

Once I arrived at the school, I saw the shiny silver Volvo parked a few spots down from my own rustic truck, and I could see Edward sitting behind the wheel. His head was back and his eyes closed, and if I didn't know any better it would appear that he was peacefully sleeping. But next to him sat the girl from yesterday, talking away not even bothering to notice that he probably wasn't listening. I didn't want to confront Edward in front of his girlfriend, so I tucked the note into my backpack and made my way to class, figuring that I could just wait till biology to give it to him. I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going as I walked down the crowded hallway, which always proved to be a mistake for me, when I ran into a small girl with short black hair.

"Oh. I am so sorry! I wasn't looking at where I was going." I rambled out before the girl had even regained composure. "I am really, really sorry!"

"It's alright. No harm done. Trust me; I am not as dainty as I look. I grew up with three brothers who loved to rough house." She said with a soft laugh at the end. "I'm Alice, by the way. You must be Bella Swan; I haven't seen you around here before."

"Yeah….I am really sorry about that. My mom always use to tell me I had two left feet. Well it was nice to meet you Alice, but I have to be getting to class." I turned to leave, heading back in the direction of my class when I heard her call my name.

"Hey Bella, would you like to sit with my family and I at lunch today?" She asked. I nodded my head. "Good I'll see you at lunch!" And she turned and swiftly left. Alice seemed friendly, and if things didn't work out with Edward at least I would have a friend. I found my seat in my first period, with sudden high hopes for lunch.

Please review! I actually have the next five chapters already written but if I don't see those reviews come in, I can't update. So remember to review.
