Hey Guys sorry this took so long to update I was ill for a while so couldn't really do much so sorry :(
But its up now, its not turned out the way I wanted to so you'll have to let me know if its alright.
Any critisism is welcome as well as any ideas.

I could have sworn that I saw him smile, though looking through the curtain of my hair separating us know, it would have seemed impossible.

His eyes, which had seemed to darkened since my arrival at his desk, were focused straight ahead at the empty white board, his hands were clenched into tight fists, that looked ready to hit something and it would seem that he couldn't get far enough away from me, he was leaning so far up against the window any further and he would probably go through it.

Did I smell? I briefly smelt my hair, strawberries, the scent of my favourite shampoo, and I had quickly sprayed deodorant on after 4th period. So I was sure I didn't smell.

What could it be about me that is repulsing him so much? Not that I should worry, who cares what he thinks about me, well I certainly wasn't! On that note I returned my full attention to what Mr Banner was saying.

"Cellular anatomy is going to be a large part of this class in the upcoming week, so I would like you all too revise your notes for a pop quiz."

The bell then rang really loudly and Edward Cullen literally jumped out of his seat and virtually sprinted from the room. I don't know why but I couldn't help but feel slightly upset. I slowly gathered my books and headed for the door of the now empty classroom. I knew this wasn't going to be easy.

"Bella, hey, erm, I was just calling to let you know that I need an answer about the dance class with Lucas by tomorrow at the latest so, erm could you maybe give me a call back when you have the time? Thanks.

"Welcome home dad."

Charlie sighed and walked across the room.

"Thanks Bells, what's for dinner?" he asked and although I wasn't great at detecting it, I sensed a slight weariness to my cooking.

All my years of serving cremated or undercooked food preceded me.

"Steak and Chips, don't worry Phil gave me cooking lessons before I left so, hopefully I have improved."

An audible sigh of relief came from Charlie and he sauntered into the living room.

"I still remember the time we had the fire brigade out here cause you wanted to commandeer the kitchen for the day."

"Hey I was nine and you should have known better than to let me loose in the kitchen." I snapped back and stuck out my tongue, he returned the gesture and his eyes then turned back to the TV. I giggled. Then stopped.

It felt strange and distant. Like somehow I had forgotten to do it. I tried to remember the last time I laughed.

*Flashback*

"Come on Bells, your not even trying!" Lucas groaned.

"You wanna now the reason for my lack of effort?" I growled back.

"Not really but I am sure that you are going to enlighten me anyway."

He lent against the pillar at the side of the dance hall awaiting my reasons.

" I'm tiered, energy drained and slightly moody. So if you keep telling me to push it harder, I am gonna show you how hard I can push!"

The truth was Lucas knew an empty threat when he saw one, especially due to the fact that I could put all my strength behind a punch and my opponent wouldn't even feel it.

"Bells you are never gonna get this if you don't work harder."

Although he meant it to sound serious, he smirked when the realisation of what he had just said hit him. I ran at him meaning to push him to the ground but in running at him, I got my foot caught on a loose floorboard and I came crashing to the ground.

I was fuming.

However when Lucas came over, is face contorted with the effort of not laughing, and offered me his hand, I saw my opportunity, I grabbed his hand and pulled him down to join me.

"Right!" Then I knew that I'd had it.

He gracefully moved over me and started tickling me mercilessly. I screamed, I giggled, I laughed and I begged. I saw the funny side. After he moved away, leaving me gasping for breath and tears were rolling down my cheeks.

Lucas grabbed me by the arms and pulled me too my feet. "Come on Bells, you have a week til your audition, and you have still to get the routine."

*End of Flashback* (Thanks to my Darlin' Danni for the idea :p)

That was the last time I laughed. May 19th. 2 days before…I immediately ceased to smile.

It wasn't funny anymore. Speaking of not funny.

"Dad?" I asked walking out of the kitchen and entering the living room.

I took his "mm" to mean a 'yes continue.'

"Do you know the Cullen Family?"

Charlie glanced up.

"You mean Dr Cullen's family, yes, a great tribute to the community is Dr Cullen. His Wife is charming and as far as I can tell they have a great bunch of kids. Why do you ask?" he enquired.

"No reason its just that their kids are a bit…well…they don't seem…well I dunno really." I stammered out.

" I must say I had my reservations about them when they first arrived, you know with them being adopted and everything, but I have never had any trouble with any of them, they all seem quite mature and well behaved, which is more than I can say for some people around here. The Cullen's being quite new around here inspire a lot of gossip, but it should die down."

With that his eyes returned back to their normal spot on the TV.

If the Cullen's are so nice and such great kids, I thought, then why on earth did that Edward character seem to hate me so much?

The only way I would be able to find out would be to get inside his head, and the only way to do that was going to be to ask him. Yes that's what I would do. Tomorrow I would confront Edward Cullen and ask him what the hell his problem is. Yes.

"Bella…BELLA." Charlie's voice came back into focus. "Bella, is something burning?"

I ran into the kitchen and straight into the smell of burning.

"SHIT!" I quickly turned off the oven and glanced inside.

Perfectly cremated chips. Great.

"Dad?"

"Yes Bells," Charlie replied arriving in the kitchen doorframe, glancing at the black remains of dinner.

"Fancy take out?" I enquired.

"I'll get the phone," he responded smiling. I felt the corners of my mouth twitch upwards for the second time today.

I parked my truck in the last remaining space in the student parking lot, the next day, i was lucky to get a space at all I was rather late this morning and it was only my second day. Well-done Bella.

My alarm clock didn't go off, leaving me no time for breakfast and the world would soon know, as my stomach was giving itself away.

Too top it all off first period was Biology. I got out the truck and walked with haste to biology.

Today was the day I would confront Edward Cullen.

Let Me know what you thought. Press the Green Button v v v Make my day :)
Extra Love to those who do.
Am already working on the confrontation.
Hopefuly it will be better than this chappie :)
