Chapter Two-School and a Surprise

When I woke to the annoying buzz of my alarm clock the next morning, I felt elated. My dreams had been completely about Luke. We talked, and then he kissed me again, soft, warm, and gentle on the lips. But then, I felt a sharp pain in my chest. I yearned for Luke. I looked at the clock. 6:30, too early to get ready for school. I decided with the time difference it wasn’t too early in Phoenix, so I grabbed my cell phone and dialed my favorite number of all time. When he picked up, I felt ecstatic!

“Bella! Good Morning, how is Forks? I miss you.”

“Luke! Morning to yourself, Forks is green and very rainy. I miss you a lot too.”

“What’s up? It’s great to hear from you.”

“I just really miss you and I have a long time until my school day starts. I also wanted to talk.”

“Talk? About what are we talking? I seriously miss you too.”

“Luke, I am going to be honest with you. I think I love you. I think I want to be more than friends and I picked a really crappy time to realize my true feelings.”

The other line was silent.

“Luke?” I asked, worried.

“Wow Bells, I had no clue you felt that way.”

“Did I just make a complete idiot of myself?”

“Not at all because Bella, I think I love you too. I think I want to be much more than friends and I think I should have stopped you from leaving.”

“Luke, my leaving was inevitable. It had to happen, but it is great to know that we both feel that way.”

“It truly is. Bella, I love you. But I have to go right now to get ready for school. My school day starts in about 20 minutes-time difference remember?”

“Oh yeah. I wish you didn’t have to though. I love you Luke, and I wish I could say that to your face.”

“Me too Bells, Me too. But don’t be too blue, I have a huge surprise for you. I have to get going now though.”

“Ok Luke. Bye-I can’t wait!”

“I love you Bells. Bye”

I hung up, wondering what he could be planning. I then looked at the clock and realized it was 7:00. I had to get ready; school was starting in about a half an hour. I got up and dressed, bouncing downstairs to breakfast. Charlie was there already, with bacon and eggs on the table. I made myself a plate and joined him.
