A/N: sorry, this chapter is a bit shorter than the others and it has a small amount of fluff but it's important fluff :)

Disclaimer: If I owned Twilight, I'd me rich. As I am not... well you get it.

Ally: Paint

I stared hard into Edward's golden eyes. He was thinking of a tune. Huh, music...piano, it was a sort of lullaby. Pretty.

"You're playing piano in your head?" I asked, uncertain.

"That's exactly right," he said.

"What's he playing?" asked Bella.

An image of Bella appeared in his mind as she spoke. I hummed a little to match the tune, and a bright smile spread across Bella's face that I could see out of the corner of my eye. Her smile was affectionate and directed at Edward. These two were together too.

Edward took his eyes from mine as I caught the beginnings of a very private thought. Blushed and looked down at the pain-spattered table.

When I looked up everyone was silently painting. I looked at Nessie's paper. She was painting a very detailed and very accurate picture of a large russet brown wolf.

"Wow," I said. "That's beautiful!"

Nessie looked up and smiled. As my eyes met hers for, an instant, the same wolf from her picture. It didn't seem like something of her imagination, but like she had really seen this wolf!

Edward coughed and Nessie looked away as if she had done something she shouldn't have.

The silence dragged on while we painted.

"So..." I said, unable to bear the silence anymore. "You guys from outa state?"

Bella looked up. "What makes you say that?"

"You're too pale to have lived in California very long. I mean, look at me," I gestured to my tan arm. "I'm not the darkest girl in the room but I'm not that pale."

Edward smiled. "We are from a place that doesn't get a lot of sun."

"Ah." I couldn't think of anything else to say. Okay, I could do with a topic of discussion...

Edward chucked. "You don't seem like the type that talks a lot."

"This silence is uncomfortable," I admitted.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"I don't know...how about the fact that nobody has bothered me all day?"

"Is that a bad thing?" asked Bella, frowning.

"No! Just the opposite! Usually people are hazing me all day. I wonder why they're not, today. Probably cause of you guys."

"Why us?" Nessie asked.

"Well, no offense, but you guys just give off a kind of vibe. You're just intimidating."

The bell rang and I jumped again.

I recovered quickly, picking up my bag. We put our paintings on a drying rack and left the room.

"What class is next?" Jacob asked.

"PE."

A/N: Dum, dum, dum! PE! What do you think will happen? Let me know!
