Part 5
Bella felt like she couldn't breath.
- Bella? You okay?
Bella realized she was sweating and panting. He now stood a few feet away from her.
- Um, yeah. It... Um, just got a bit ho... warm.
He raised his eyebrow a bit.
- So, you'd say it's prophase?
- Huh?
- The onion?
- Oh, um, yeah.
Edward took a pen and wrote down their answer, and then came standing close to Bella again.
- Do you have to be so close? Have you never heard of social space? she whispered to him.
- They want this to be a group work, we will at least have to look like we are working as a group.
Bella couldn't argue with that.
They continued their work and handed it in first of all groups.
- That's good the teacher said. Now sit in your seats till the rest of the class is finished...
- That's good the teacher said. Now sit in your seats till the rest of the class is finished...
Bella and Edwards turned around the go back.
- Oh, and if you get bored, there is a hundred pages as homework for tomorrow. If you start now...
The rest of the class sighed and started to complain, and Edward and Bella went to their seats.
- If I hear anymore complaints, you will have two hundred pages in homework instead.
The class went silent. Apparently, this was a teacher who could actually do such a thing. Bella brought her book up, and she saw Edwards were already open at the pages. He looked like he were reading but Bella saw he were glancing out the window instead. When the clock rang and Edward were on his way out Bella ran and caught up with him.
- Hey!
He peered at her and continued to walk.
- Hey wait up.
He stopped and turned slowly.
- What is it?
- Why did you run away. Are you scared of me?
A roar of laughter came from his throat and Bella almost thought he were dying, or possibly a maniac.

- What's so fun?
It were one of the girls whom Edward used to hang with in the cafeteria.
- Oh nothing. Not really. Bella here just thought... Well, that I ran off because I were afraid of her.
The tiny girl also started to laugh uncontrollably and Bella got real scared there were something wrong with them. After what seemed like an eternity, she stopped.
- It were nice meeting you Bella, I'm Alice.
She held her hand and Bella shock it. She were just as cold as Edward had been.
- Hi Alice.
- Well, did you want something especial?
Edward looked at her, she noticed his eyes. They were dark brown, almost with red in it.
-Uuuh, oh, right. Um... Well, I were just going to ask... Oh forget it.
- Oookay..?
- Well, come on the Ed, we have to go. Carlisle and Esme is waiting for us. Time to hike!
Bella saw them walk of, meeting up with the other three from the cafeteria and slowly walk of and out the building.
- Hey wait! You can't leave now! School isn't...
She realized she were yelling, and that people were staring. She quickly ran of to the building where she has her math course.
When school were over, she quickly ran off to her car, without saying good-bye to Jessica and Mike, and drove home as fast as she could. Her father were not at home.
- Oh crap. When I do want to talk to him, he is nowhere to be found.
She put her bag on the table and realized she were starving. She hadn't managed to get anything else than an apple down for lunch today. She found some chicken in the freezer and some tortillas in the cupboards. She made chicken enchiladas and were done with the last ones when her dad went in the door.
- Oh, so now she's cooking?
- I were hungry.
He hung his weapon and hat up and went in to the kitchen.
- Smells lovely he said. Maybe... You know... Maybe you could teach me how to make these.
He turned and reached for the freezer
- Dad... I made enough for you too you know.
He looked at her, and smiled, and Bella realized, maybe it wasn't going to be such a drag living here anyway.
- Dad?
- Yeah?
He brought a plate and started to load it up with food.
- Can you tell me about the Cullens?
- Um sure... What do you want to know?
- Who are they?
- Well, um... Carlisle is the head surgeon at the hospital, outstanding. I think his wife is a decorator, but I'm not sure. All I know is that she likes that kind of stuff. They have, how many are there, four...?
- Five?
- Oh, yeah, five children, two of them adopted.
- I'm in the same class as Edward in biology.
- Oh, that's nice. He is a very polite young man.
- So they are all related..?
- Yep, well, as I said, two of them are adopted. I think that that big fella, Edward and the small girl are Cullen's children and that the other two are a pair of siblings they took in. I'm not sure. I haven't asked, and this is just town talk.
- Okay, thanks dad.
He looked at her and put his food down.
- You know Bella, this is actually real nice.
She started at him for a while, and realized he were actually right.
- Yeah dad. It is. Can I be excused now? I have plenty of homework to do.
- Sure Bells.
She put her plate in the sink and took her bag with her up to her room. She sat down at the desk ,still with the same scratches as she had made in it as a child, and started with her English assignment.
She totally lost track of time, when her dad yelled from downstairs he were going to bed now and that the bathroom were now all hers.
- Thanks dad!
She quickly brushed her teeth and made herself ready for bed, and she fell asleep almost immediately, not noticing the black shadow quickly floating by her window.
