Chapter 13.
Monday, Comes Quick:

I actually woke up quite refreshed, which was strange, especially lately. I got up and walked down into the kitchen.
“Mourning Bells, you’re looking better today” Renee commented.
“Thanks, I feel better” I replied. I looked at the table hmm toast.
“I haven’t had toast in ages” I said buttering some toasted bread.
“Yeah, I felt like it” Mum replied. I spread some strawberry jam on my toast and started to eat it.
“Good dreams?” Mum asked.
“Umm I think so, I don’t quite remember!” I chewed some more.
“Well you didn’t scream or cry so that’s good” She laughed.
“Yeah” I smiled. It was good. I got up and looked in the fridge.
“Oh we’ve run out of juice” I noticed.
“Oh yeah I have to get some more” Renee replied. I poured myself a glass of water instead. I finished my breakfast and went and got dressed. I did my hair and packed my bag. I walked down the stairs with plenty of time.
“Do you need me to do anything?” I asked.
“Like what, honey?” Mum asked me, kindly.
“Oh I’ve still got twenty minutes before I have to leave, that’s all” I said.
“No Bella, you can just relax” She smiled washing some dishes.
“Umm okay” I smiled back. I was normally in a rush in the mornings, so this was kind of nice, I guess. It was only about fifteen minutes now, so I sat on the couch and watched some pointless morning show on TV. It was about five minutes until the time I normally left. So I decided to leave a little early this morning.

As I started driving I realised something. It was Monday! Oh my god! Monday, Monday I had Social Studies! Yes! Oh I was excited! Hopefully Edward replies! I couldn’t wait!

The drive went pretty quick, I couldn’t wait to get to school! I parked my sweet, little Chev, locked it and got out. Not many people were around the spots me, Gem, Nic and Erin normally parked in. I waited. And waited, and then finally Gemma turned up, still in Tiffany’s car of course.
“Hey Bell!” She ran up and hugged me!
“Whoa, umm hey Gem!” I said kind of awkwardly.
“So?” She asked, eyes wide.
“So?” I repeated looking for a clue.
“I called him!” Oh not this again! She was almost jumping up and down.
“How’d you go?” I tried to act excited for her, but not only was I a bad lair I was also I terrible actress.
“Uh his voice!” She giggled, she didn’t even notice my bad acting skills.
“What did he say?” I asked, smiling.
“Umm well I only got his message bank, but I left a message!” She laughed.
“Oh ok” I laughed back.

The bell rang. We started walking to our lockers.
“Just us today?” I asked.
“Yeah, Nic should be back tomorrow, and well you know bout Erin” She explained.
“Yes I know about Erin!” I laughed.
“Oh I got Spanish!” Gemma exhaled.
“Yeah Social Studies” I pointed to myself, and tried to look unhappy about not having my next class with Gemma, but I was kind of excited inside.
“Well have fun!” Gemma looked disappointed.
“You too” I smiled.
“See ya”
“Bye”

I walked to the F wing and into my classroom. I had to hide a huge smile when I saw the envelope on the top of the pile read ‘Bella’ in the most beautiful handwriting ever! I think I had to stop myself from running to my seat. When I sat down, my legs were shaking. Oh this is crazy! I thought to myself. I eagerly awaited the arrival of Mrs Anderson, which was until now incredibly rare!

I tried to stop my legs from shacking. Mrs Anderson walked into the room and slowly the classroom filled up. I controlled my legs and Mrs Anderson asked Rebecca to hand out the letters. She walked straight over to me. I smiled and reached for the envelope. I opened it as carefully as I could. I pulled out the folded piece of paper, I could see his beautiful script though the folds. I unfolded it and took a deep breath before reading the first couple of lines. It read:

Dearest Bella,
Oh...

Thank you about my handwriting, its just practice I guess.
Sure, sure I smiled to myself.

Yeah, I guess I do have a larger family. We have all been together for a while now. So yes I would say we are all pretty close. I’m sorry that you don’t have any brothers and sisters.
Hmm how sweet?

Yes Esme does work. She works part time in Antique restoration, but she’s the housewife type. What does your mother do?
Cool.

I’m 17 as I said. Alice is 17, Emmett is 18, and Jasper and Rosalie are 18 year old twins. Sorry I must have forgotten to answer that.
Whoa they’re all very close in age.

Music being lame, not at all. What is life without music? I really enjoy listening to classical type music such as Debussy for instance. What kind of music do you enjoy?
Oh my gosh, I thought I’d never find someone my own age that listens to Debussy!

My favourite subjects at school, well I don’t really have a favourite subject. I also enjoy whatever I’m good at, but no real favourites, my apologies.
That’s fine I was only trying to make conversation.

I have been living in Forks for a couple of years now. Yes I really do enjoy living here. Forks is small and secluded. It’s really suits my family’s lifestyle, I’ll say we’ll be living here for a while. What do you like about living in Phoenix?
Okay, he actually likes living in Forks.

I really, truly enjoy your letters Bella. Even though you insult them a lot, I think you’re a fine writer and your handing writing is perfectly readable. Don’t be too hard on yourself Bella, I’m sure you don’t deserve it.
Oh, this is so gorgeous, I’m such a sucker for good words.

I hope you’re having a good day as well.

Yours Sincerely,
        Edward Cullen.

Oh that was so cute. He's so nice.
