Just sort of a filler chapter! My apologies!

Disclaimer: I don't own anythinnnng. :)

I sat in a chair in the principal's office stunned. I was waiting for the punishment to come, detention maybe? But nothing came, the principal, and I quote, "Understands how teenage boys can be." So all I have to do know is play up the whole innocent act and I would get off with nothing. I looked down at the ground and let all of my bad memories surface, I had been holding them back for so long that when I finally released them the tears welled in my eyes and my heart ached. I looked up at the principal and used them to my advantage.

"I am so sorry, I know I shouldn't have resulted to violence but...I just didn't know how else to react." I said letting a tear slip down my cheek.

"Don't cry! Please, just go to class and tell Mike to get down here. Now. Don't worry, I will deal with him so he won't bug you again."

"O-okay." I said sniffling. I gathered my bags and walked out of his office feeling accomplished somehow. I started walking towards my Bio class when I stopped and ran into the nearest bathroom to compose myself. Looking into the mirror I saw my tear stained cheeks and rubbed at them trying to make myself look like I didn't cry, a near impossible feat. I looked in the mirror and my heart ached. I was trying to tear my mind away from the past but it wasn't working. The tears were coming faster now and I was rubbing furiously at my cheeks and eyes to stop them. I stopped and took three deep breaths, calming myself, detaching myself from the situation, something I learned to do a long time ago. Finally I had calmed down enough so grabbing some concealer from my bag I slapped it on around my eyes to tone down my redness. Taking another deep breath I grabbed my bag off the counter and walked out of the bathroom, walking across the school until I reached Mr. Doiron's classroom door. Taking one last deep breath I put my hand on the door knob and turned, opening it up. Instead of going over to my seat like everyone was expecting I started walking towards where Mike was sitting. I could feel everyone's eyes on me and could only imagine what they were thinking, Mr. Doiron was glancing back and forth between our faces like he was wondering what to do. But the look on Mike's face was the best of them all. I could see the bruise forming around his eye area and his nose was beet red. He looked absolutely terrified.

"Hello Mike, Mr. Tanner would like to see you in his office now. Right away." I told him. He started to get up, leaving his books on his desk. "Oh, you should probably take those Mike, and your coat too, I don't think you will be coming back to class." I said in a sugary sweet voice. I could hear him grumble under his breath and as he was about to walk past me I grabbed his arm and whispered in his ear low enough so no one else could hear me. "Don't fuck with me Mike, EVER again. You will regret it, and next time you will have A LOT more damage." Hah, if he was terrified before now he was petrified. I was guessing he finally got what I had been trying to tell him all along. I let go of his arm and gave him a smile walking back towards my seat next to Edward. As I sat down I looked over at Edward and saw him fighting to hold back laughter.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"Oh nothing, just don't be too rough on Mike." Edward said.

"How the hell did you hear...oh never mind I don't even want to know." I said.

"No, you probably don't..." Edward said in a somber voice.

"You are very weird Edward Cullen. You know that right?"

"Yeah, I think someone has told me that once or twice." he said flashing his amazing smile at me. I could feel my heartbeat kick it up a notch and I looked down at my desk really quick. But it seemed impossible for me to not look at him so after not even a minute I felt my head lift up and I found myself getting lost in his eyes. There was a mass of emotions in his eyes, most of which I couldn't even identify. I saw pain, confusion and maybe even...love? What, that can't be right. Then the bell rang which broke us out of our trace. I shook my head trying to get rid of all the thoughts that were spinning through my brain. Standing up I slowly packed up my books and started to walk away when I realized that Edward was still standing there waiting for me.

"Oh!" I exclaimed in shock which made me jump backwards into my chair. Now I was blushing like crazy and I could see Edward out of the corner of my eye trying not to laugh. "Oh whatever." I huffed and started walking to the door.

"You are very amusing Isabella Swan. You know that right?" he quoted from earlier with a smirk.

"Haha, very funny." I said rolling my eyes, still mortified that I had just made a fool out of myself in front of him. We had made it to my car by now and were just standing by the drivers side of my car when I looked up at him and saw him staring over to the other side of the parking lot glaring. "Edward?" I got cut off as Emmett swerved up in front of us with Rosalie, Alice and Jasper in this huge ass Jeep.

"Yo bro. We're leaving! Catch a ride with Bella!" Emmett yelled.

"Emmett!" Edward started to yell but before he could get anything out Emmett had pulled out of the parking lot and was driving away laughing his ass off. "Well," Edward said running his hand through his hair, "I don't want to impose or anything...but would it be alright if I caught a ride home with you?"

"No problem, hop in." I giggled. Soon as he buckled up I pulled out of the student parking lot and turned in the direction to head out of town.

After sitting in awkward silence for about ten minutes I said, "You're going to have to tell me where to pull off when we get there. I don't think I will be able to find it otherwise."

"No problem, we're almost there it's just around this corner coming up." Edward said. "Right there." he said pointing towards the forest.

"Okay, sure." I said, because I still couldn't see a thing. How the hell did I find this at night? I pulled into the driveway, or should I say road because it went on just as long as one.

I finally made it to the end of his "driveway" and pulled up in front of his house. I put the car in park and looked over as him, he was staring down at me, again. "Uhm...ya. So the weather has been pretty good eh?" I said, what the hell? Did I honestly just comment on the weather?

"Bella? The weather has been overcast and it has rained for the past week..." Edward said.

"Haha, that's just the way I like it." I said laughing to cover up my nervousness. Oh my lord, he probably thinks that I'm the worlds biggest idiot! I looked over at him from the corner of my eye and saw he was laughing.

"Yeah, me too." he said still laughing. We kind of just sat there in silence for a few seconds until he blurted out, "Bella, are you doing anything this weekend?"

Okay, wait a minute. Did Edward frickin' Cullen just ask me out?

"No...not anything that I know of." I said, not even stop to think.

"Well I was wondering if you would like to accompany me to dinner in Port Angeles this weekend." he asked me looking nervous, as if I was about to decline!

"Sure that sounds fun!" I said smiling at him.

"Alright." he said beaming, "How about I pick you up, let's say half past six?"

"Sounds great."

"Alright then, I'll see you tomorrow at school." Edward said as he got out of my car and walked towards his front door.

"I just love the rain!" I said in a sing-song voice. "It is just lovely!" I looked in my rearview mirror and I swear I could see Edward's shoulders shake with laughter as he let himself into his house. I rolled my eyes not even feeling the least bit embarrassed and started driving home.

It was when I pulled up into my driveway that I remembered Nicheal was coming up this Friday...crap.
