"You'll help me??" she asked.

"Why not??" I smiled and when I did her heartbeat skipped a beat. At the exact moment her heart stopped, I was extremely terrified. Was she afraid of me??

I helped her with her homework and she was writing as fast as she could but pleased somehow. This confused me.

The teacher came in and as he came in Bella was done. She looked at the paper proudly then looked at me with the sincerest of smiles and blushed a little then she admired her work again. She must be really happy and I was glad that I was part of the reason that she was.

We passed out homework and as soon as she passed hers, she gazed at me and I gazed back. It was like that lunch in the cafeteria. When it seemed we were looking for something that was hidden deep in our eyes.

The deepest of secrets waiting to be found but are hidden behind the thickest of walls. How I wish I could break those walls. That would make everything easier. I would be able to figure her out and maybe, possibly… hear her thoughts.

Then there was an announcement and the class was waiting to hear it. It was going to be about the ball, the unnecessary ball for the fund of the school.

“The finalists for the Auction a Date Ball are:” Bella looked away from my gaze and turned to the speaker in the classroom. “Jessica Stanley, Lauren Mallory, and Isabella Swan!!! Congratulation. The stalls are now open to lucky men who want to auction for the three beautiful candidates. Thank you.” The announcement ended and then Bella blushed the reddest color I’ve seen on her.

Wait… WHAT?! Bella was joining that Auction?! I couldn’t help but growl lightly though I didn’t understand why I was so offended by this. It was her choice to join or not.

The teacher congratulated Bella and everyone- except me- in class clapped and cheered for her.

I felt my face frown. I was so confused. I didn’t understand any of my emotions and how I was offended somehow by Bella’s choice of joining this useless auction. She was practically selling herself for the night!!
