It was about 8 o'clock at night and it was pitch black. I got out of the car carrying my star watching tools and walked through the cemetery. It was pitch black and cold but I could see thousands of stars in the sky and the moon looking back down at me. The cemetery was covered in leaves and there were gravestones all around. I have been coming here for years to see stars.
I was about half way when I noticed someone walking behind me. I turned around to see who it was making sure it was not a serial killer.
OMG. What was he doing here? Edward Cullen was there walking behind me. I stopped in my tracks.
"What are you doing here?" I asked facing him.
"I could ask you the same thing. I'm just going for a walk. What are you doing here?"
"Um, I'm going to my star watching spot."
I continued walking to my spot, I could hear leaves crunching behind me and knew he was following me."
Once I had got to my spot I put my belongings down and set up my telescope. I looked at Edward through the corner of my eye and saw him watching me.
"What do you want?"
"Nothing. So do you come out here often to watch stars?"
"Um, about once a week."
I looked through my telescope and looked at the stars. I tried to spot the Milky Way and the Saucepan.
"Are you looking for anything in particular?"
"Well, I'm kind of waiting for this comet which appears rarely. It's called Haley's Comet. The last time it appeared was over 50 years ago."
"Cool."
I continued to look through the telescope ignoring Edward. About fifteen minutes later when I had finished looking at the stars and had established that the Haley comet was not coming today I noticed Edward had gone. I packed my telescope and headed back to my car.
The next day after school I had a drama rehearsal. There was only 4 weeks left before the concert and we had a lot to do. I was worried that Edward wouldn't learn his lines causing the play to be a disaster and making me look like a fool as he was the hero in the play. But I was surprised to find out that he had learnt more than half of his lines and he wasn't that bad at acting, in fact he was pretty good.
We spent about one and a half to two hours running through the play. I had learnt most of my lines but I also had to learn a song called "Only Hope". We also had to help out with painting the props, the backdrop and design posters advertising the play.
The next day I had tutoring in the morning. I was sitting on the bus in the fourth row staring at Edward's reflection through the window. I knew I was mad at him but I couldn't help but forgive him.
I had the same girl as last time and Edward had the same boy as last time too. His partner still had the same basketball in his arms, which he bounced occasionally. Today I helped Talia with her English homework. While we were having a break I looked outside the window and noticed Edward playing basketball with his student whilst trying to explain the angles of a triangle. In the past week I had noticed a change in Edward for the good. He no longer cared for himself but for others too. My opinions and thoughts about him were changing. On the way back home I continued to stare at Edward but this time not at his reflection, at his back. He was sitting two seats in front of me so I had the perfect opportunity to gaze at him.
The next few weeks went quickly as I spent most of my time working on the drama play. I calculated that in 2 weeks I spent 125 hours out of 365 hours working on the play. As the weeks passed by I became more nervous. I have performed several times before but I always get anxious before a concert. Least I didn't have to kiss anyone, especially Edward.
