Edward POV

We arrive with plenty of time to spare as I like to drive fast, we all do. There are lots of people milling about talking about their summers'."Great" I think, so many rumours will be spread by the end of the day.

I join the rest of my family standing beside our cars. I immediately think of an excuse to go look for Bella, stalker remember. I look towards my family and decide to speak up.

"Listens guys, I have to ask one of the teachers something" I say trying to look convincing.

"Really?" it's Rosalie speaking with a curious look on her face, which the others join in.

"Yes" I reply hoping to get away soon

"What class then" Alice says with a suspicious glance at me. I guess she still has the notion of me trying to find someone particular, crap damn pixie, how does she do that?.

"Mr Banner, I need to ask him about some of the course work I did over the summer, something I don't understand ". I hope they will believe me.

"Really the person who got all A's on all of his Biology tests last year" it's Emmett now giving me the Spanish inquisition.

All I can do is shrug "what can I say I'm committed", " besides I won't be gone for long, just for a few minutes" .At least that's true, I have a few fair ideas where I can find her, and I know she is in as I can see her monster of a truck, it's so old that it could her grandfather.

"You won't miss me now Emmie will you?" I tease to take the pressure off me.

"Nah I'll be fine Eddie, I know you will be in good hands" he says giving me a wink

"Don't call me that Emmett, you know I hate it, look I'm going so I'll see you in a few.

I walk past them and look back for a second, Emmett has them huddled up, crap I think they must be scheming, this can't be good.

I'm greeted by lots of people when I make my way in, though most I don't care about as I know most of them are all just fake people who stab you in the back when you aren't looking.

I am walking towards her locker and I see her friends Ben and Angela, who are incidentally holding hands. "That's a new development" I muse to myself. Must be awkward for Ben to kiss her I think, as Angela is very tall while he is a good few inches smaller than her, but never mind I'm getting side tracked.

I decide to go to the Library as it's another place I know where she could be if she wasn't with her friends. I walk into the library and don't see anyone here, but the thing is, I can feel her in here, it's like I've become so attuned to her over the years, like I have a Bella radar, God I'm such a freak no wonder Bella won't talk to me.

I tip toe down a set of aisles covered with rows upon rows of books, I make my way near the back of the Library, and then I see her, not fully though, just through the gaps of the books on the shelves. She's sitting on the window sill just reading," well what else would she be doing" the voice inside my head says, "be quiet" I mumble back. Great I'm talking to myself

She looks beautiful, more so than last year, if that is even possible, the summer has done her well I think.

But suddenly she gets up and puts her book away, I'm horrified that the she will she me here, and think that I'm a stalker, my inner voice kicks in ,"well that's what you doing wasn't it" oh how I really hate it at the moment, it sounds like Emmett.

I pick up a random book hoping that this will fool her, I'm thinking even if she has half a brain cell it wouldn't.

She suddenly appears in front of me, she looks shocked, not that I don't blame her, I'm probably just a silly stalker boy to her. She looks quite shocked that I'm here and the uncomfortable looks is on her face again, like she doesn't want to meet my eyes, I disgust her that much?.

I want to make her feel better, she looks so brittle, like a twig that could break in the wind, but I get the feeling that I'm the reason for causing her to be this way.

I put my hands up to show I mean no harm, but the look on her face, I think she thinks I'm going to hit her, shocked that she could even think I could do that. I would rather kill myself,than for her to ever be hurt by me.

She shies away and stumbles against one of the lower shelves behind her, causing the books to fall off and on to the ground, it causes quite a loud noise. I hear footsteps coming down, it's the Librarian, an old batty women who looks like she is a hundred.

"What are you hooligans doing" she says in her gruff voice looking at both of us. Bella begins to stutter but I won't let her take the blame for what I caused.

"Sorry Miss, it was my fault, I was just looking for a book when I startled Bella, by accident of course, I couldn't tell either of them the real reason for coming down. I begin to pick up some of the books.

"Okay then just put the books back in alphabetical order and then leave, the bell is about to go soon".

I just nod and get started putting the booking in the right places, Bella doesn't move, she is just staring at me.

"I'm sorry for causing this mess Bella" I say with a grim face but I can't stop thinking how much I like saying her name out loud, in public.

She's staring at me a little shocked

"You okay ? " I ask , I'm worried that maybe she must have hurt herself.

'Y-yes I'm fine b-but y-you called me B-bella."

I think I've offended her, I begin to apologise, "I guess you're friends call you Bella huh? . It's starting to dawn on me how I really have no chance if I can't even be considered to be allowed to use her nickname, I walk away dejected and leave the Library.

Bella POV

All these thought are running through my head. How does he know my name and not just Isabella but Bella?. It just doesn't add up. He should even know I exist let alone know my nickname.

I'm sure his popularity would take a steep decline. It's not that I'm not ecstatic that he knows my name but I feel more optimistic ,that I will get the chance to talk to him this year, but I know in the end it's going to hurt more than usually.

I guess I can dream, I always do.

Thank to the people who reviewed and story alerted , it feels great to get them, so thank you.
