“Bella!” I dropped my spoon as my head snapped up from my reverie.

“Hmm-mm?”

“You weren’t even listening to what I was saying, were you?” Charlie’s brow furrowed and a frown started to form on his lips. He was clearly very disappointed in me.

I sighed and cast my gaze downwards. Edward once questioned my choice of food for breakfast. I flinched.

“That’s it Bella. We need to talk.” Uh-oh. I really needed to pay attention more. I was starting to feel guilty about almost always being immersed in my own thoughts.

My eyes didn’t leave the cereal bowl but my attention was now all out on Charlie. I didn’t want to do anymore damage than I had already caused due to my inattentiveness.

The phone rang. Hallelujah! Charlie left the table to answer the phone, but he still continued to look at me as he conversed with the person on the other line. I didn’t even bother to listen to his conversation.

When he put down the phone, he walked immediately towards the door, jacket in hand.

“You’re still not off the hook, Bells.” He said in a lighter tone.

I arrived at school with a lot of time in my hands, so I walked slower than usual towards the building. A blue Porsche went past me, almost in a blur. The driver would have to be suicidal to drive in that speed!

I stared at the car, not bothering to hide my irritation. Wow. I was irritated. At least I knew it was now possible for me to contain more than two emotions at once— after the… yeah.

The Porsche parked 4 cars down my beloved truck. My eyes grew wide as two of the most gorgeous creatures I’ve ever laid eyes on got out from the back passenger seats. The door from the driver side opened.

Not good. Nothing good could possibly occur— to me— if I stayed here too long. I quickened my pace, never daring to look back. I didn’t slow down until I reached my first period classroom.

I sat down on my usual seat and instantly felt uneasy. I did not see it but Damien had followed me in. He sat down swiftly next to me, as graciously as ever. It was still early and there were only a handful of people inside the room. I could tell that something was out of place.
