AN: So I've made sure that this chapter was uploaded on time because I promised the Monday updates. So this chapter being on time is definitely an achievement for me.. On with the chapter...

I don't own any of the character's, they all belong to Stephanie Meyer.

Chapter 9

The first week of school had come and gone, and yet my window was still being left open in the mornings after the night before. I have no idea who would come in my room but in the strangest way and as much as it would worry a normal person, it wasn't worrying me at all. I would wake up in the mornings and smell the beautiful scent of cinnamon and musk, which for some reason made me feel safe. The week as a whole though and I do admit, was actually alright. I enjoyed the lessons and talking to Angela, but other than that, I had a pretty boring time. Being very intelligent meant that alot of the projects we were doing, I had already done. So in a way it did give me an advantage but it didn't keep my interest for too long. It was obvious to the teachers that my mind was elsewhere when they were teaching, but hey, I'm the new kid, they must think it's perfectly normal. The one issue that I struggled with the most this week was the red haired Adonis. Everyday I would see him pull up in the Volvo and all of his family exit the car whilst he would just stand there and stare at me with hatred. Every time it still broke my heart a little but I was kind of getting used to it now so it wasn't surprising me when I would see him just staring. Every evening Charlie would again religiously ask me how my day at school had been, I think he knew deep down something wasn't right with me and as much as I would put on an act to not let my true emotions show. He just knew. He gave me a week off training after last weekend and the tree incident and as much as I liked being normal, I still felt the need to go and help certain elements of nature here and there. I wanted to start training again.

Today, it was Monday morning and the beginning of my second week at Forks High School. Was I looking forward to being glared at all day by the one person who I didn't want to hate me? NOPE, I was not looking forward to it at all. As I pulled up to the parking lot I noticed the silver Volvo parked in its usual spot yet the red haired wasn't standing against the car staring at me. Where was he? Weird. I went through the day as normal, trying to have the minimum amount of conversation that I could have with Jessica, Lauren and Mike. It wasn't until I walked into biology that I noticed something out of the ordinary.

The Adonis was sitting at my table. What the fuck? Is he in the right class room because I'm sure he wasn't in biology before. As I was walking to the desk he still had yet to notice me. I knew for a fact he could probably smell me, being a vampire and all, but hey, if he wants to act human, fair play.

"Urmm, is it ok for me to sit here please?" Suddenly I was all shy, I felt like I had to ask this Adonis if he would accept me sitting next to him.

"Sure, it was your table anyway." He actually looked at me without giving me a glare and replaced it with a small smile. As I sat down the scent of cinnamon and musk drifted past my nose. Wait. What. Cinnamon and musk? The same smell that I have come across every morning in my room? I looked at him with shock not realising he was looking at me too and the sudden intensity came back. My body felt like an electrical current was going through my veins, it was to the point of almost being painful. I felt like I needed to touch him. That the pain would go away once I did. Letting out a whimper I fled from the room.

Walking through the hallways to find my way to the nurse it was clear that he heard my whimper. How could I be so stupid! I'm so embarrassed that he had to witness that. As embarrassing as it was though the look in his eyes when I did whimper was something I'd never seen before. He reacted to it like something was burning him from the inside too. I think it's time that I spoke to my dad about what was happening. I needed to know if he knew what it could be or what I could do to find out why I was feeling this way towards the boy. Worst part of all, I still don't even know his name.

Later that evening Charlie came home and I sat him down in the living room trying to prepare myself for what I was about to tell him.

"Bells, honey, are you ok? I glad you sat me down, something has not been right with you this week and I want to know what is going on." As always, he spoke with so much love that it made me start to tear up.

"Dad, I know I've been acting off this week and I want to tell you why, I just don't know how to say it and what you will think of me." I couldn't even look him in the eye.

"Oh baby girl, you know you can always tell me anything and I'll be ready to listen and do what ever it takes to help you out." It was time to tell him.

"It started on the first day of school. I was in the cafeteria with some of the other students and a family walked in, one of the members of the family called Alice. I don't know what happened dad but the red haired boy or member, what ever you want to call him, came into the room and my heart stopped. All I could think was mine! He was mine! I feel like I have this weird claim over him that I can't stop. It's obvious that he doesn't like me though, he kept looking at me with what I thought was hatred for the rest of the week. He has been on my mind since I saw him in the cafeteria on the first day and today he spoke to me and I felt the intensity from being near him spark up and I felt like I was burning. I know he felt it too dad but I didn't even think before I ran out. I felt so humiliated." It was one of them moments, once I started talking about it, I couldn't stop. It was hard trying to put my feelings into words but I'd hoped that my dad would have got the gist of it and would understand. He looked so deep in thought like he was trying to figure it all out in his mind. It wasn't until he looked in a state of shock that it was clear he knew what was happening.

"Honey, I don't think I mentioned this to you but vampire's, they have what they call mates. When they find the person or vampire that they are going to spend forever with it is love at first sight. Their mate is everything to them and male vampires are hugely possessive over their mates. It seems honey that Edward is your mate." Edward, his name is Edward. It's a beautiful name and so elegant for a man like him. What I couldn't get over was the fact that I had a mate after only being here a week and I didn't even know him.

"Edward. Edward is my mate? But dad why am I feeling the effects of the connection? I don't understand." The confusion was setting in again.

"Because honey you were born to a hybrid and a human. So you still have vampire in you. I wasn't sure the vampire side of you would ever make an appearance, but it appears that is has and it's that side of you that is feeling the connection. Bella, vampire's mate for life, there will never be anyone else for them. You my sweet girl have been claimed. I think it's time I contact the Cullen's and let them know what is going on, because if I know Edward, he would keep to himself and not let the others know about the agony he must being in over the mating connection." As he finished off saying this he went to grab his phone.

"Carlisle. It's Charlie, we need to talk."

This shit was definitely becoming real.

AN: So I wanted there to be the tiniest interaction with Edward and Bella in this chapter, I wanted Charlie to play more of a role in this chapter because after all, he is her dad. The next chapter is a continuation of this chapter and is when Bella will meet all the Cullen's. Until next time...
