Ring! Spanish was finally over.

I walked out of the room and found Edward leaning against the lockers, waiting for me.

“Hello,” he said. “How was Spanish?”

“Boring,” I replied. I really had no clue. I was preoccupied with thoughts of Edward.

He took my hand and started walking toward the cafeteria. Alice walked up on the other side of him and he turned his head to look at her. She stared at him with a scolding look on her face and I almost laughed. They were having another silent conversation, and I felt left out, but the look Alice was giving him washed away the disappointment.

Several steps later, Edward turned his face to look forward again. Alice smiled at me once and continued walking toward the cafeteria. I was a bit confused as Edward led me off in another direction. I wasn’t hungry, or disappointed, but now I wish I knew what Alice had told him.

“Do you mind if we do something new today?” he asked quietly.

“Hmm? Oh, no.” I had been looking around at other people. No body seemed to notice our different path.

All of a sudden, Edward stopped and wrapped his arms around me. I took another step forward, not noticing immediately, and almost fell back. Turning to look at him, I found a huge smile plastered on his face. Whatever Alice disapproved of, he didn’t mind.

“Bella, go in.” He tilted his face to point at the girl’s restroom we were currently standing in front of. I looked up at him, still very curious, but he let go of me and I didn’t argue.

The bathroom was near the cafeteria, but out of view. I would be alone and uninterrupted all lunch if I stayed in it.

When I had stepped through the doorway, I turned around to face Edward. He was still smiling, but looked at me with some disappointment in his eyes. I took another step inside and looked back. Some of the disappointment had gone away, but it was still visible. I sighed and walked in all the way. I stopped in front of the mirror and looked at my reflection. I was pale and tired.

A loud bang behind me caused me to jump in fear. I turned to watch the stalls and held onto the sink for support. Two of the doors were closed now. I stared at them, wide-eyed. I hadn’t noticed anybody come in, and I couldn’t think of a reason for some one to.
