Waking up, I sit up, my eyes fluttered open. I gasped as I saw James in the corner of the room, I slammed my eyes shut and opened them, he wasn't there. Standing up I walked over to my wardrobe and grabbed out my, light blue denim shirt, black ripped skinny jeans and I grabbed my black combat boots from the shoe rack. Placing them on the end of my bed, I walked into the bathroom and showered. After I showered I put in my contacts and got dressed, putting my hair up into a high pony tail. I grabbed my phone and walked downstairs, getting some toast I sat at the table and ate. I stood up when I heard a knock on the door, opening the door I was greeted by Jacob.

"Hello Jacob, why are you here?" I asked.

"I was going to ask to hang out with Bella" he said.

"She's not here, she's with her boy....friend" I sighed.

"Oh.. Well if that's the case, do you wanna hang out today?" He asked.

I thought for a little bit, "sure."

"Charlie, I'm going out!" I said and left, closing the door behind me.

For awhile things were quiet. It was that quiet you could here a pin drop.

"So..." I said.

"So..." He repeated, shoving his hands in his pockets.

"I don't see you at school" I said.

"Oh I don't go to Forks high school" he said.

I actually don't really care...

"Ah" I said. Could this get any more awkward? I didn't exactly hate Jacob I just didn't really like him. I mean he never even noticed me when we were younger. I don't know why I agreed to hang out with him today. I should've just stayed home and read my book.

"Wait, if you don't go to the public highschool, where do you go?" I frowned.

"I go to a school in the reservation" he shrugged.

After an hour and a half of talking he dropped me off at home, I thanked him for the time out and I walked inside. Sighing I shut the front door and shook my head, that was really awkward.

"Hello?" I called out, walking into the kitchen to get a drink. Seeing there was no response, obviously no one was home. I grabbed out the orange juice and poured myself a glass.

After I finished my glass, I put it in the sink and jogged upstairs. I grabbed a book off of the book shelf and tossed it on my bed, soon tossing myself on my bed. I opened it up to where I was up to and began to read.

-------

"Stupid contacts!" I mumbled, fiddling with my contacts. I accidentally fell asleep with them in and one of them slid up. To make matters worse I wasn't even dressed yet and I had to be at school on ten minutes.

"Abby hurry up or we're gonna be late!" Bella called out.

"I'm trying!" I said, finally getting my contacts out.

I put them in their little container and rushed into the bedroom. I decided on a black hoodie, black jeans and my purple high tops. I quickly brushed my hair, deciding to leave it out. I grabbed my glasses and my phone and jogged downstairs, picking my bag up on the way out.

When we arrived at school, Bella went straight to Edward leaving me to walk into school with jealousy flowing throughout my body. "What's up giiiiiiirrrrrlll?!" Pandora wrapped her arm around my shoulder.

"Hey Panda" I slightly smiled.

"You ready for a day of amazingness?!" She said.

"Oh yeah... Totally" I said sarcastically.

As the bell went off, I walked to my first class. Maths, with Edward. Great! Walking into my classroom, I looked and saw Edward sitting in his spot, walking over I sat down at my seat and opened my book to an empty page.

"Hey" I mumbled.

"Hey," he said back.

"You didn't tell me that you and Bella were together," I said.

"We didn't want people making a big fuss over it," he shrugged.

"Oh..." I said.

It felt like my heart just got torn into a million pieces. I was stupid for thinking I had a chance with him. They always go for Bella, I should know that by now. Well all but this one guy I used to know.

If only Edward could return the same feelings for me.

"I'm sorry I can't return the same feelings for you..." Edward leaned over and whispered in my ear causing me to shiver. I felt my cheeks starting to burn up.

"Stay out of my head!" I whisper/yelled.

"Ms Swan, Mr Cullen is there something you'd like to share with the class?" The teacher asked, an annoyed expression on his face.

"No sir," I squeaked. I could feel everyone's eyes on me.

I felt Edward eyes on me, "stop looking at me Edward," I slightly growled. I could feel the smirk he had plastered on his face.

"Sorry, sorry..." He mumbled and went back to writing notes.

When the bell went I quickly grabbed my stuff and hurried out of the class room, God! I wish I didn't have these stupid feelings! I hate them! After gym it was lunch time, walking to the cafeteria I bumped into the girls.

"Hey Abby!" Sophia said.

"Hey!" I forced a smile.

"Hi!!" Grace said walking up beside Sophia, Panda and I.

"Hey" we all said in sync.

When we arrived in the cafeteria, we all grabbed out lunch and sat at our table. Sitting down I grabbed a carrot stick and took a bite, scanning the room, my eyes caught onto Edward.

Sitting there so gracefully, I couldn't help but stare. His eyes caught on mine, my cheeks turned a bright red and I looked down at my lunch. Peeking back up I saw him smirk before looking at Bella, jealousy washed over me, dammit! I wish all this jealousy would just go somewhere else! I hate it! Knowing that I will never get him, hurt. I jumped when I heard the bell go off, I grabbed all my stuff and I walked to my next class.

"Hey, sorry I'm late, biology project," Bella said, taking a seat next to Charlie. Yeah right! More like the Edward Project.. I almost scoffed.

"I ordered you the Spanish salad, I hope that's ok," Charlie said.

"You should order one for yourself next time" the waitress lady said, placing our meals in front of us. I forgot her name. I really didn't care what her name was either, I was too jealous and angry to care.

"You should cut back on the steak," the lady said to Charlie.

"Hey, I'm as healthy as a horse," Charlie said.

After that sentence I zoned out. Why couldn't Edward like me? Is there something wrong with me? Am I not pretty enough? Or skinny enough? Is it because I wear glasses? I felt myself become self conscious. I sighed and played with my food, I suddenly lost my appetite.

"So Chief, the boys wanna know. Did you find anything by Queets river today?" She asked.

Charlie looked around before answering.

"Yeah, we found a bare human footprint, but it looks like whoever that is, is headed east, so kitsap county sheriff is gonna take over from here," he explained.

"Ok," the waitress lady, Cora I think her name was, said.

"Ok," Charlie repeated.

"I just hope they catch him fast," she said, walking away.
