I wore one of the new outfits I brought from my girls day out with Alice. I'll never ever admit this to her but this weekend was fun minus the waxing though.

As soon as I took off my coat Mike did a double take and immediately started drooling. I groaned under my breathe cursing out Alice and our shopping trip as more of my fan club notice my attire.

I swore as I was cursing Alice out under my breathe I heard a musical laughter come from the hallway.

Even Jessica was openly gaping at me and I just wanted to shout "Sorry Jess I don't bat for that team"

My golden retriever followed me around all day today. I swear I should start carrying Scooby snacks and scratching him behind the ear. Then again Newton just might like that. I shudder at the thought.

Walking into the lunchroom was when my so-so day just became interesting. Out of habit I looked up at the Cullen table and was greeted with the normal smile and wave but if it was even possible her smile was brighter today.

Just as I was about to wave back I notice five people instead of four and I froze. Before quickly composing myself and hiding behind my hair.

"Bella you okay" ask mile snapping me out my daze

"Uh ah yeah" I replied pathetically

I pretty much lost my appetite seeing Edward here in school again. I don't know why I react this way around him. It's not like I haven't seen him just yesterday at my house or anything. I swear this dude is like bi-polar or something.

As I sat at my table with Mike, Jessica and their friends because lord knows I don't claim them as mine. Jessica whisper conspirator "Edward Cullen is staring at you?" The way she said sounded so accusing and bitter

I didn't even bother looking up as I ask "Does he seem like he's piss off or something?"

Jessica looked at me weird for a moment before turning towards Edward's direction "He looks his normal self" she shrugged but then got a thought look in her eyes "Why would he look pissed off at you? Did you throw yourself at him or something?"

Fucking bitch I thought to myself, I knew she was baiting me but I didn't fall for it. I snuck a glance at the Cullen's table through my hair and true enough Edward was staring. At least this stare didn't unnerve me like the others. This stare was full with curiosity before he just turned his attention back to his family.

I was extremely nervous going into Biology after lunch because I didn't know exactly which Edward I'll end up facing. Don't even let me get started on my breakdown of Edward because just thinking about it has my mind running in circles.

I walked into Biology very cautiously noticing that Edward was not in his seat yet and I briefly entertained the idea that he changed his class. Of course my luck would prove otherwise as I heard the chair beside me scrapping the floor. I tried extremely hard to focus my attention to the found of the class and ignore the presence next to me; however I failed miserable as I stole glances at him.

We still had a few minutes before class started and just as Mike Newton was about to approach me I heard a voice as smooth as velvet calling my name "Hello Bella"

I closed my eyes breathing in heavily thinking a voice shouldn't soon so good like his but the way he said my name……..GAWWWWWDD Bella stop this nonsense right now.

I just nodded my head acknowledging his greeting because Lord knows I certain didn't trust my voice.

"I wanted to apologize about my behavior at your house yesterday. I was just being overly protective…" I cut him off

"Yeah, I know you were worried about your sister's well-being."

We both remained quiet after that until Edward began speaking again "So why Forks?"

"Excuse me?" I asked completely taking off guard by his question, for two reason one no one actually came right out and asked me that secondly I could not comprehend his interest in me all of sudden.

"You just seem like the type who loves the warm weather so I was just curious about why you'd trade that for this" He said motioning to the downpour outside the window

"You have no idea" I mumbled under breathe as I looked out the window thinking about the warmth of the sun as a tear streak down my face. I wiped away quickly hoping no one witnesses it but Edward did.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you cry by bring up the subject. It was insensitive of me. Moving here from Phoenix must have been extremely hard on you and here I am bringing it up."

"Oh yeah Phoenix" I said as I continued to look out the window. Phoenix was the furthest thing from my mind right now. I was thinking about my real hometown the one that seems like a distant memory to me, the one I could barely remember.

The silence between us was awkward after my comment and I couldn't stand it, even though he made me think about things that made me emotional; his voice was soothing and I needed to hear him talk about.

"Ren…My mother and I didn't see eye to eye on things. She recently remarried and well I decide it was time to free her from the burden of a teenage daughter." I caught myself before I ended up calling Renee by her name. While I would never call her "mom" no matter what, in public that's a different story. No one knew I was adopted and in a small town like this I rather keep it that way. I don't need the gossip that would follow if anyone knew the truth and I trust Alice with my life, which is the only reason I told her. Besides I just know she'll never tell anyone not even her own brother.

"Sorry to hear that" He replied and I could hear the sincerity in his voice

I shrugged "No worries I was more the adult in that relationship anyway."

"You seem to be handle things quite well"

"You'll be surprise by the things I had to handle so far in my life." I blurted out without even thinking. Shit…I berated myself. Why is it around him and Alice I just blurt shit out like that?

I turn facing Edward seeing his brow furrow as he was trying to decipher my comment "What is she trying to hide?" he said more to himself than anything so I choose to ignore it. As I was looking into his eyes through I notice they were different "Did you get contacts?" I asked effectively putting the focus on him and changing the subject

Edward threw his head back chuckling "No I don't need contacts I have perfect sight" he laughed and I felt like I was missing something.

"I could have just sworn your eyes were dark as midnight last week and now it's like rich as honey." I said in awe as I stared into them. His laughter died down immediately after my words and his hostile mask were back up again as he glared at me before turning his attention to the front of the classroom.

Great Bella I thought to myself dryly things were going so well between you two and you ruined it.

Just as I called out his name "Edward" timidly the bell rung and he was already out the down. I sighed looking at his retreating figure.

I gathered my things heading to gym with my golden retriever walking beside me.

I was so grateful for the ends of the day were I could escape for all this and attempt to have some normalcy in my life. As I was sitting in waiting for my truck to warm up I looked up seeing Edward and Alice arguing across the parking lot. I saw Edward motion towards my direction before Alice got into his car looking livid but not before looking my direction with a sad smile, While Edward just looked at me with a deep glare that burned within my soul.

I turned away from his stare backing the truck out leaving school. Once I pulled into my driveway, I ran upstairs crashing on my bed crying. "Why does he seem to hate me so much?" I sobbed.

That night I dreamt about Edward and my father again. Dreams of my father has become more frequently even since I moved back to Forks and that scared me more than anything. Why now after all these years will these dreams come back?

It wasn't just those dreams either; I started seeing her again in the shadows of my dreams. I sat up in my bed debating what is it about this place that's bringing up these memories or better yet who?

Today at school was no better either; As I pulled up into the parking lot Edward was staring again I decided against my better judgment to approach him and apologize for offending him yesterday because I don't want any enemies nor do I want to cause a rift between him and Alice. He saw me approaching him and instead of waiting he walked off completely dismissing my presence.

In lunch I looked at the Cullen table like always I was greeted with a friendly smile from Alice and Edward never once even looked my direction.

I figured I'll have my chance to apologize to him in Biology but Edward never even showed up to class and it made me wonder was he avoiding me.

The rest of the day passed by idly slow and I lost all focus to anything going on around me. Maybe coming to Forks was a mistake I thought to myself dryly just as someone shouted my name "OH MY GOD BELLA"

I looked at in time seeing a vehicle coming directly towards me. It was too late to react any which direction I moved and I was still get hurt. My eyes happened to lock on both Alice and Edward who were staring at me in shock with wide eyes.

"I'll be seeing you soon mom and dad" I mumbled as I closed my eyes welcoming death
