the Quileute school�察�but he might still get in trouble for trespassing or the equivalent。
Edward released me�察�taking just my hand and pulling me behind his body again。
Mr。 Greene pushed through the circle of spectators�察�his brows pressing down like ominous storm clouds
over his small eyes。
^I mean it�察院�he was threatening。 ^Detention for anyone who¨s still standing here when I turn around again。 ̄
The audience melted away before he was finished with his sentence。
^Ah�察�Mr。 Cullen。 Do we have a problem here�拭院�
^Not at all�察�Mr。 Greene。 We were just on our way to class。 ̄
^Excellent。 I don¨t seem to recognize your friend。 ̄ Mr。 Greene turned his glower on Jacob。 ^Are you a
new student here�拭院�
Mr。 Greene¨s eyes scrutinized Jacob�察�and I could see that he¨d come to the same conclusion everyone
else had�此�dangerous。 A troublemaker。
^Nope�察院�Jacob answered�察�half a smirk on his broad lips。
^Then I suggest you remove yourself from school property at once�察�young man�察�before I call the police。 ̄
Jacob¨s little smirk became a full´blown grin�察�and I knew he was picturing Charlie showing up to arrest
him。 This grin was too bitter�察�too full of mocking to satisfy me。 This wasn¨t the smile I¨d been waiting to see。
Jacob said�察 �Yes�察�sir�察院�and snapped a military salute before he climbed on his bike and kicked it to a start
right there on the sidewalk。 The engine snarled and then the tires squealed as he spun it sharply around。 In a
matter of seconds�察�Jacob raced out of sight。
Mr。 Greene gnashed his teeth together while he watched the performance。
^Mr。 Cullen�察�I expect you to ask your friend to refrain from trespassing again。 ̄
^He¨s no friend of mine�察�Mr。 Greene�察�but I¨ll pass along the warning。 ̄
Mr。 Greene pursed his lips。 Edward¨s perfect grades and spotless record were clearly a factor in Mr。
Greene¨s assessment of the incident。 ^I see。 If you¨re worried about any trouble�察�I¨d be happy to ! ̄
^There¨s nothing to worry about�察�Mr。 Greene。 There won¨t be any trouble。 ̄
^I hope that¨s correct。 Well�察�then。 On to class。 You�察�too�察�Miss Swan。 ̄
Edward nodded�察�and pulled me quickly along toward the English building。
^Do you feel well enough to go to class�拭院�he whispered when we were past the principal。
^Yes�察院�I whispered back�察�not quite sure if this was a lie。
Whether I felt well or not was hardly the most important consideration。 I needed to talk to Edward right
away�察�and English class wasn¨t the ideal place for the conversation I had in mind。
But with Mr。 Greene right behind us�察�there weren¨t a lot of other options。
We got to class a little late and took our seats quickly。 Mr。 Berty was reciting a Frost poem。 He ignored
our entrance�察�refusing to let us break his rhythm。
I yanked a blank page out of my notebook and started writing�察�my handwriting more illegible than normal
thanks to my agitation。
What happened�拭�Tell me everything。 And screw the protecting me crap�察�please。
I shoved the note at Edward。 He sighed�察�and then began writing。 It took him less time than me�察�though he
wrote an entire paragraph in his own personal calligraphy before he slipped the paper back。
Alice saw that Victoria was coming back。 I took you out of town merely as a precaution ! there
was never a chance that she would have gotten anywhere close to you。 Emmett and Jasper very
nearly had her�察�but Victoria seems to have some instinct for evasion。 She escaped right down the
Quileute boundary line as if she were reading it from a map。 It didn¨t help that Alice¨s abilities were
nullified by the Quileutes¨ involvement。 To be fair�察�the Quileutes might have had her�察�too�察�if we
hadn¨t gotten in the way。 The big gray one thought Emmett was over the line�察�and he got defensive。
Of course Rosalie reacted to that�察�and everyone left the chase to protect their companions。 Carlisle
and Jasper got things calmed down before it got out of hand。 But by then�察�Victoria had slipped
away。 That¨s everything。
I frowned at the letters on the page。 All of them had been in on it ! Emmett�察�Jasper�察�Alice�察�Rosalie�察�and
Carlisle。 Maybe even Esme�察�though he hadn¨t mentioned her。 And then Paul and the rest of the Quileute pack。
It might so easily have turned into a fight�察�pitting my future family and my old friends against each other。 Any
one of them could have been hurt。 I imagined the wolves would be in the most danger�察�but picturing tiny Alice
next to one of the huge werewolves�察�fighting 。 。 。
I shuddered。
Carefully�察�I scrubbed out the entire paragraph with my eraser and then I wrote over the top�此�
What about Charlie�拭�She could have been after him。
Edward was shaking his head before I finished�察�obviously going to downplay any danger on Charlie¨s
behalf。 He held a hand out�察�but I ignored that and started again。
You can¨t know that she wasn¨t thinking that�察�because you weren¨t here。 Florida was a bad idea。
He took the paper from underneath my hand。
I wasn¨t about to send you off alone。 With your luck�察�not even the black box would survive。
That wasn¨t what I¨d meant at all�察�I hadn¨t thought of going without him。 I¨d meant that we should have
stayed here together。 But I was sidetracked by his response�察�and a little miffed。 Like I couldn¨t fly cross
country without bringing the plane down。 Very funny。
So let¨s say my bad luck did crash the plane。 What exactly were you going to do about it�拭�
Why is the plane crashing�拭�
He was trying to hide a smile now。
The pilots are passed out drunk。
Easy。 I¨d fly the plane。
Of course。 I pursed my lips and tried again。
Both engines have exploded and we¨re falling in a death spiral toward the earth。
I¨d wait till we were close enough to the ground�察�get a good grip on you�察�kick out the wall�察�and
jump。 Then I¨d run you back to the scene of the accident�察�and we¨d stumble around like the two
luckiest survivors in history。
I stared at him wordlessly。
^What�拭院�he whispered。
I shook my head in awe。 ^Nothing�察院�I mouthed。
I scrubbed out the disconcerting conversation and wrote one more line。
You will tell me next time。
I knew there would be a next time。 The pattern would continue until someone lost。
Edward stared into my eyes for a long moment。 I wondered what my face looked like ! it felt cold�察�so
the blood hadn¨t returned to my cheeks。 My eyelashes were still wet。
He sighed and then nodded once。
Thanks。
The paper disappeared from under my hand。 I looked up�察�blinkingin surprise�察�just as Mr。 Berty came
down the aisle。
^Is that something you¨d like to share there�察�Mr。 Cullen�拭院�
Edward looked up innocently and held out the sheet of paper on top of his folder。 ^My notes�拭院�he asked�察�
sounding confused。
Mr。 Berty scanned the notes ! no doubt a perfect transcription of his lecture ! and then walked away
frowning。
It was later�察�in Calculus ! my one class without Edward ! that I heard the gossip。
^My money¨s on the big Indian�察院�someone was saying。
I peeked up to see that Tyler�察�Mike�察�Austin�察�and Ben had their heads bent together�察�deep in conversation。
^Yeah�察院�Mike whispered。 ^Did you see the size of that Jacob kid�拭�I think he could take Cullen down。 ̄
Mike sounded pleased by the idea。
^I don¨t think so�察院�Ben disagreed。 ^There¨s something about Edward。 He¨s always so 。 。 。 confident。 I
have a feeling he can take care of himself。 ̄
^I¨m with Ben�察院�Tyler agreed。 ^Besides�察�if that other kid messed Edward up�察�you know those big brothers
of his would get involved。 ̄
^Have you been down to La Push lately�拭院�Mike asked。 ^Lauren and I went to the beach a couple of
weeks ago�察�and believe me�察�Jacob¨s friends are all just as big as he is。 ̄
^Huh�察院�Tyler said。 ^Too bad it didn¨t turn into anything。 Guess we¨ll never know how it would have turned
out。 ̄
^It didn¨t look over to me�察院�Austin said。 ^Maybe we¨ll get to see。 ̄
Mike grinned。 ^Anyone in the mood for a bet�拭院�
^Ten on Jacob�察院�Austin said at once。
^Ten on Cullen�察院�Tyler chimed in。
^Ten on Edward�察院�Ben agreed。
^Jacob�察院�Mike said。
^Hey�察�do you guys know what it was about�拭院�Austin wondered。 ^That might affect the odds。 ̄
^I can guess�察院�Mike said�察�and then he shot a glance at me at the same time that Ben and Tyler did。
From their expressions�察�none of them had realized I was in easy hearing distance。 They all looked away
quickly�察�shuffling the papers on their desks。
^I still say Jacob�察院�Mike muttered under his breath。
4。 NATURE
I WAS HAVING A BAD WEEK。
I knew that essentially nothing had changed。 Okay�察�so Victoria had not given up�察�but had I ever dreamed
for one moment that she had�拭�Her reappe
