When Monday morning came around, I felt like somebody had thrown a bucket of cold water on me. It was like being abruptly woken up from a dream. Returning to school didn't seem realistic. I had spent the enitire weekend locked in my room, trying to come to reality with the fact that Edward and I were now going out.

After Charlie had picked me up at the Cullen's, I had run to my room and screamed into a pillow, hoping that Charlie wouldn't hear. Later, I kept replaying random images of Edward's face and managed to scald myself with etremly hot water in the shower. I'm sure Charlie noticed my distractedness that was present all weekend, but he didn't comment. I didn't really give him a chance to. He quit staring at me whenever I walked into a room he was in when I spent three hours on the phone with Alice. And I had purposely made it so the only part of the conversation he had overheard was a bunch more appologizing. Alice had forgiven me already, and she was starting to get annoyed with all of my sorry's, but when she heard the front door close, then a car start, she got the idea that Charlie had been there and had then changed the subject. I also found it quite useful having 'insider knowledge', which for some reason she gave me. For example, in a random conversation during the phone call, the subject of highlighting a t-shirt pattern on Edward while he slept because I thought he looked good in yellow came up. Which brought on my outburst of "what does he wear to bed," He goes for comfort. Shorts and a t-shirt. How adorable! His favorite color is blue. He likes to read fantasy type books, his middle name is Anthony, and she would guess his favorite food was ketchup. And for some reason she told me all of this.

Then we discussed ways to get the same information from Jasper. Of course, if Alice asked, he would spill all, but where was the fun in that? And besides, this was Alice we were talking about, easy made things boring, and boring was something that should be banned from society.

And then we talked about sometime going shopping.

And then class.

And then more about Edward and Jasper, or Jazz as she liked to call him. She had decided that if she put the fact that he was her brother aside, she might be able to deal with me dating him, as long as she didn't witness any kissing with tongue involved. If she did, she would smash our brains, and get Jasper to bury our bodies in the back yard.

And now I was back to school, eagerly waiting for my Chemistry class with Edward, which was unfortunatly the last class of the day. It seemed to drag on and on, just waiting to get to see Edward again. Finally, the bell rang, releasing me from my class. As fast as was possible for my clumsy self, I made my way towards the science building.

(I would say that Jazz was in this class too, but then 'Alice' would hurt me, because that leaves only three Jasper options. So, no Jasper. -cry-)

I finally made it into the room, and took my seat. Edward had to come from the other side of the school, so he wasn't here yet, despite his almost unnatural quickness. (couldn't resist, and he DOES run track)

When he entered the room, I smiled so wide it hurt my mouth. He grinned at me and came to his seat, next to mine.

Before we could say anything to each other, the teacher started class. I almost growled and glared at him as he adjusted some papers on his desk, looking down while talking instead of making any sort of eye contact. I took careful notes as he wrote random facts on the projector in the front of the room throughout class. When the annoucements came on, I breathed a sigh of relief. I had until I got to my car to talk to him! Then I realized, I didn't know what to say. I had no clue at all, and I was suddenly nervous rather than excited. The dull voice on the intercome dragged on, and I instead of the usual two minutes we had before we left, the bell rang twenty seconds later.

He obviously wasn't as confused about what to do now as I was, because he helped me gather my books and waited for me. We walked out together, now chatting about random things. It all flowed easier than I thought it would have with my akwardness. When I turned away from the direction of the parking lot, he caught my arm.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"To wait for Charlie to pick me up..."

"Nope. You are coming with me, and Alice and I are going to your house. Charlie has invited us over for dinner, of course only inviting me out of courosy, he doesn't know about us yet, deal?"

I nodded, then practically skipped to his car.

Can't you see Bella skipping? I can. She's not clumsy ALL the time, just most of it. She's perfectly capable of skipping.
