A/N – Hey guys! How was your weekend? So, here's a new chapter. I thank you all of you for the reviews left for me! They seriously work like miracles in lifting my spirits up!

Happy Reading!

I don't know Twilight, I'm just messing around with the characters!

CHAPTER 7

I was on cloud 9 when I reached school. I was perfectly happy, for the first time.

After I had entered home, I had a quick shower (only for the sake of it) and changed clothes. Music was my savior once again, as I got bored very soon after that.

World history, German and political science passed slowly. And I mean it when I say slowly. I was irritated coz it felt as if the humans and time were purposely slow.

I was almost insane when art came along… As I worked on my project, it felt as if my hands had a mind of its own and were working mechanically, so I really didn't need to pay attention.

Trying to see what the other Cullens were doing, I focused my thoughts on Alice. Immediately, I was standing next to her…even she looked super bored, I guess I wasn't the only one who felt that way about school.

As soon as I cleared my mind, my mind found its way back to the art class. This was so cool! I could totally control my 'gift'!

Next was, obviously, Edward. He was in advanced calculus and was breaking his pencil in multiple pieces, just to see how small a single piece could get.

I could only wondered how those long fingers of his, could get so graceful.

"You should be focusing on your work rather than my fingers", He said with a smirk. His voice so low, that only the two of us could hear what he had said.

If I could blush; I would be red by now.

I can handle both. Multitasking is my specialty. I thought back.

This was actually fun!

"Ah! I think I should have known that… If I may be so bold, Ms. Swan, but you look quite a sight this morning… Mike Newton can't keep his own eyes to his project. His thoughts are quite inappropriate …", he trailed of with a flash of anger in his eyes.

I got my mind back to the class and looked two tables down where Mike worked. He really was looking at me, with his eyes wide and mouth a little open. He quickly turned back when he saw me looking at him. "Crap!" was all he said to himself as he went back to work.

I looked down at what I was wearing; a pair of slim fit jeans paired with simple white button down shirt and a silver chain with butterfly hanging from it was all I had worn. My favorite pair of sneakers accompanied it. I never thought that it would look that good on me…

Going back to him, I checked him out again…

Thank you very much Mr. Cullen…you don't look bad yourself! I thought back.

He was wearing a dark blue t-shirt, which hugged him all the way, showing off his abs, with a pair of slightly darker shade of artfully faded jeans.

Of course, you wouldn't realize that Lauren is about to drool just by looking at you, I continued. Lauren was one of the popular girls of our batch and was like the queen bee. She was sitting diagonally behind him, and I was suddenly very jealous.

"Thank you and, by the way, you look very cute when you are jealous", he commented, almost vibrating with laughter.

Thankfully, the bell rang at the same moment.

"You are sitting with us", I could hear plead in his voice.

Um…okay! He immediately smiled.

At a human's pace, I threw my stuff in my locker and planned on a quick 'hi' to my friends.

"I haven't you seen all morning, Bella! How's life going?" Angela found me first. A quick hug followed.

"Hey! Yeah, same here… um…I won't be sitting with you guys… Edward invited me to his table" I said, looking down.

Angela, who always wanted me to 'have a life' and get a boyfriend, squealed with delight. "Oh my God! Are you serious? Wow! I'm so happy for you!" she hugged me tightly again.

I'll have to hunt tonight if I need to get to school tomorrow!

I smiled back and with our arms linked, we walked to Jessica's locker where she was grumbling.

"Why do our lockers need to be so tiny?" she said in frustration.

"We need to be tidy to fit the stuff inside." Angela said with a chuckle and quickly organized the whole mess.

That was when Ben and Derek came along.

"I'm super hungry", announced Derek.

"Guys! I won't be sitting with you all today… Edward invited me to his table…" I said with a small smile.

"What? Dude, you are so lucky! I tried to make a small conversation with the Jasper guy, and he just walked off as if I had personally offended him! Hey! Have you heard? Lauren asked Edward out! And he totally flipped her out. OMG, Bella! You are one lucky pig!" Jessica was impressed…

"Aren't you and the Cullens too similar?" Ben said with a confused frown.

"Yeah! You guys are too pale with freaky golden eyes", Derek agreed… Crap! What was I going to do!

"Just tell him that he needs to get his eyes checked" Emmett's low voice reached me.

"Come on people! You have got to be kidding me! I have been here since I was a kid… Those guys came, like, 2 weeks back…you need to get your eyes checked", I said, laughing the whole time, but inside, I was freaking out! "I need to go…Bye!"

With that, I rushed off to the cafeteria.

Everyone, except Emmett, were present at the 'Cullen table'.

"There you are! We thought you had lost your way here!" Alice said with a quick bob of her head.

I decided to ignore her. "Can you please check on my friends? They are a little suspicious, I think" I asked Edward.

"Don't worry, they are just finding us really freaky, you included" He said, in a very positive way which erased all my worries.

"I thought you handled them quite well", Emmett said, sitting down next to Rosalie, who was checking her hair on the spoon's outer surface.

"Thanks a lot Emmett! I owe you one! You totally saved me back there", I said sincerely.

"No sweat, Bells!" he winked.

"You are coming to our place after hunting with Edward tonight" Alice said, out of the blue, with a hint of finality in her voice.

"How did you even… Never mind", her future predicting gift was way cooler than mine.

A few minutes later, lunch ended and I went with Emmett to our calculus class. We got bored again.

Next was English…where, again, the pop quiz took most of the time.

As soon as the bell rang, I practically ran to the biology class. Edward was already there.

I sat down and smiled… Mr. Banner entered, pushing a large television on a trolley along.

"I will be showing you a documentary on the animal kingdom. I want all of you to take notes on it, as you'll all be making a project on it in pairs, your partner is the one you are sitting with. No changing your partners. Understood?" Mr. Banner said, trying very hard to show his authority.

A few grumbles were heard and the lights where switched off.

I knew very well that neither Edward, nor I would actually pay attention.

Can ask you a question? I thought hesitantly.

"You already asked one, but shoot"

Why were you avoiding me yesterday?

This was the first time I had caught him off-guard…

"I had nothing to say…" he said after a few seconds.

We didn't say anything after that; we looked in each other's eyes the whole time. Somewhere in the middle, he took my hand in his.

My hand fit his perfectly…as if it was made for him. Everything in the world felt right…

I was sad when the lights came on… it meant that we would have to part ways…

I saw that Edward felt the same about leaving me too…

Very reluctantly, I left for gym…where Alice and Rosalie were waiting for me.

It passed quickly.

As school got over, I walked back to my truck. I got in, ready the go to work. That was when I saw the Cullens getting into a shiny silver Volvo. I caught Edward's eye and smiled. He smiled back… and sped of…

As I drove to work, the realization hit me hard… I had fallen for Edward too…
