Here's chapter 5!
Chapter 5 – Confronting Emmett
Elizabeth's P.O.V.
By the time morning came round, I had decided to confront Emmett. What harm could it do?
I pulled into the school parking lot and waved to Leah, Eva, and Jeremy.
As soon as I stepped out of my truck, they all rushed over.
"Hey!" said Jeremy. "What happened yesterday? You were out of the classroom so fast, you were a blur. And you left just as fast. What did Cullen do?"
I waved him off, "Emmett did nothing. I was ready to get home. Hectic day, y'know? It's not easy being the 'new girl.'" I put quotation marks around 'new girl.'
Jeremy and Leah nodded in understanding, but Eva gave me a suspicious look.
I smiled at her.

Classes went by slowly. Anticipation started to overwhelm me. How would I confront Emmett without offending him? Because, let's face it. The guy was intimidating.
But when Biology finally rolled around, Emmett was nowhere to be found. I sat at my seat, thinking that he was just running late.
He never showed.
He didn't show up the next day, or the rest of the week.
By the time Monday came around, I was seriously frustrated. It seemed that he was just skipping school to avoid me.
What the bloody hell did I do?
"You seem agitated," stated Eva as I got out of my truck.
"No, really?" I said sarcastically. "I had no idea."
"What's wrong with you?" asked Jeremy, walking up to stand beside Eva.
I sighed and rubbed my face, "Nothing to worry about. I'm fine. Just have a lot going on."
Jeremy looked like he wanted to say more, but Eva stepped down hard on his foot, so he (wisely) kept his mouth shut.
"Where's Leah?" I asked.
"she's sick," answered Eva. "Text me this morning. I told her I'd get her homework for her."
I nodded and shouldered my bag, "C'mon. Let's get this day over with."

I was surprised to find Emmett sitting at our table when I walked into Biology.
I purposefully ignored him as I sat down and got out my supplies. I fully expected him to stiffen up like he had that first day. He didn't.
"Hello," said a soft, deep voice from my left.
I looked up, surprised. Emmett was staring at me with a small smile on his face.
"Hi," I said.
He stuck out his hand, "My name is Emmett Cullen."
I shook his hand, "Elizabeth Potter – Black. Yeah… I met Alice and Jasper."
He nodded and chuckled, "Yes, Alice does have a tendency to show up wherever you are. And she usually drags Jasper along with her."
I nodded and opened my mouth to ask about what happened last Monday, but Emmett beat me to it.
"Look… I'm sorry about last Monday. I was having some… personal issues going on and was all out of sorts."
I had a feeling that there was a lot more to his story, but I let it drop.
"Alright, class," said Mr. Turner and we both turned our attention to the front of the classroom.

Today, class went by quickly. Emmett had scooted a little closer to me and kept shooting me small smiles. I would smile back, and then duck my head, blushing slightly.
When the bell rang, I stood, promptly knowing my books to the floor.
"Shoot," I muttered, bending down to pick them up.
"Let met help," Emmett bent down and started to help me pick them up.
He and I both reached for the last book and our fingers touched.
I pulled back with a gasp.
His hand was ice cold.
"Your hand…" I whispered.
Emmett ducked his head, but I still saw that his eyes had turned coal black.
I have to go," he mumbled and left.
I walked back to my truck, my mind whirling.
And the pieces started to click into place.
And chapter 5 is up! I hope you all liked it!
I'm currently writing a sequel to my other story a Second Chance. I'll let you know when I have it posted.
Reviews are a girl's best friend!
