\u00ff\u00feChapter One\r
\r
I marched through the school halls with confidence and determination as I headed towards Edward Cullen, who was leaning against the wall near our biology class. He was involved in a heated conversation with his sister Alice, by the looks of it. They both glanced in my direction even though I was still a few feet away and there was no possible way they could have heard me approaching with all the students walking in front of me. Yet they looked straight at me as if they knew I was coming.\r
\r
Edward narrowed his eyes at me and I nearly chickened out. But I reminded myself that I have the right to know what was going on. How did he push the van away and why was he avoiding me? I\u0019 m going demand an answer today and I won\u0019 t let him brush me off again.\r
\r
Alice smiled at me, and Edward glared daggers at her. She rolled her eyes before walking away and strolled towards her next class.\r
\r
Edward shot me a hard and icy look before moving to step inside the classroom. I practically ran the last few steps to prevent him from escaping my wrath. I stood directly in front of him and he had no choice but to back up. He clenched his jaw and balled his hands into fists.\r
\r
\u001c What do you want?\u001d his voice was still velvety despite the harsh tone.\r
\r
I placed my hands on my hips and attempted my best shot at giving him an angry glare. \u001c I want an explanation.\u001d \r
\r
He avoided my gaze and looked at everything except for me. \u001c I\u0019 m not giving you one. When will you just drop it and move on with your life?\u001d \r
\r
I crossed my arms across my chest. \u001c Never.\u001d \r
\r
Now he looked at me. Our eyes locked and anger flickered across his features. \u001c Then I guess you\u0019 re never going to be satisfied.\u001d \r
\r
He slid past me and entered the classroom. I stood there, dumbfounded. I\u0019 m never going to get an answer out of him. Maybe I should just give up. I sighed in disappointment and trailed behind the group of students entering the classroom.\r
\r
Edward was already sitting down by the time I pulled the chair from underneath the table, letting it squeak against the floor. He didn\u0019 t even look over at me. I sat down and exhaled dramatically, trying to gain his attention. He didn\u0019 t even move a muscle. He is absolutely infuriating!\r
\r
Mr. Banner began his lecture and I tried my hardest to pay attention but I found myself stealing glances at Edward; and if he noticed, he was doing a fantastic job at pretending he didn\u0019 t.\r
\r
The clock ticked by slowly, and half way through the class, I noticed Edward tense in his chair and he snapped his head towards the door. I looked at him curiously but he ignored me and continued looking at the door, as if he could see or hear someone standing on the other side. Which was impossible since the door was closed and I couldn\u0019 t hear a thing.\r
\r
I continued staring at him and his eyes finally shifted to mine. He almost looked& worried. But after a couple seconds, his features hardened and he gave me a murderous glare.\r
