I looked across the cafeteria at the Cullen's table. They all sat together in silence. The Hale twins Rosalie and Jasper sat together at the left side and Emmett was across from Rosalie next to Alice and Edward. I had learned all their names thanks to rumors from around the school. I starred at their lunch trays that were still full of food and wondered why they never eat at school. I couldn't help but think maybe they are like supermodels who starve themselves senseless just to fit in a size zero. They were undeniably gorgeous.
Edward then looked back at me. His eyes starred right through my soul. I could feel him from over 50 feet away. It was odd. Angela seemed to have come out of her trance with Ben and looked over at me. "Montana, what are you looking at?" She asked. "Nothing." I said as I pulled my gaze away and looked at my palms awkwardly. "Edward Cullen is staring at you." Angie said. "He is?" I asked dumbly. "Yeah, I wonder why." She said. "Well maybe he is bored and is randomly looking over at this direction where I happen to be sitting." I babbled. "Or maybe he likes you." Jessica suggested. "Doubt that, he barely ever looks at someone that way. He doesn't even date." Mike suggested. "Or maybe he does, maybe just not girls from here." Angie chimed in. "Whatever, don't make a big deal out of nothing." I said.
Everyone just shrugged and went back to their dumb conversations. I looked back up through my eyelashes at Edward who smiled and then turned back around. I tried to avoid glancing at their tablefor the rest of the period. I was already feeling uncomfortable enough.
The bell rang about 1 minutes later, thank God. I practically ran out of the room. The rest of the day went by quickly with art & computer applications. When the final bell rang I pranced my way to the pick-up area of the parking lot. James was already waiting patiently for me. I opened the door and got in quickly. "Hey kiddo. How was school?" He asked as he pulled out of his spot and drove to the exit. "Good. Long. But otherwise just a good day." I said as I faked a smile. "Good." he replied as he started driving home. We sat the rest of the trip in silence. None of us really had anything to talk about. We both were tired from our day and just wanted to get home. I just really wanted to cul up into a ball. I was exhausted from thinking so much. My brain had actually worked so hard it hurt. I never thought I would actually say that. But whatever, I had reasons to be tired.
When we got home I went to my room like the usual and did my homework. It took less time tonight and I finished all my math make-up work. I knew Mr. G would be happy about that. Tomorrow would be FRiday and that made me really excited. I was so tired of school and I really need a weekend to just get over the fact that I am in a different state.
I hoped I would be able to forget that by shopping or something. I need to see the city. I am hoping to go to Seattle and maybe check out the new life I have to deal with for a while. And maybe see what potential this state has. Well, maybe if I get a chance to. I really want to find out what is new with my mom. I havn't seen her in days.
James tells me she gets in around 2am and leaves at 5am which seems crazy. I never could possibly dream that she works that hard. She has never been that type of person. Maybe I should give her more credit than I do. Or maybe she is doing something else when she is supposed to be 'working'. Maybe...oh this sounds crazy. My mom is not the type. She would never...or would she? Could my mom be cheating? No, I won't think about this anymore. I need to stop thinking this way. My mom would never do that to James. She loves him.
I sat on my bed in silence. I was so confused. And I was angry. Could my mom be cheating on James? I mean, what could she be thinking? I shouldn't get all worked up until I know for sure. I need to investigate this further. I need to be sure. I need proof. But how?
I decided to wait and ask my mom. I want to hear it from her.
I layed down on my bed and looked at the ceiling. I closed my eyes and relived the events of the day. I remembered the light conversation I shared with Edward that day. He is so dreamy and remarkably handsom. His face was like silk and his smile was breathtaking. I couldn't help but smile to myself when I though of him. This boy has really got me wondering.
I don't think I have ever been this intrigued by someone in my entire life.
I want to know everything about him.
I want to know why he is shy to everyone and why he talked to me.
From what I heard, he doesn't talk to anyone but his family.
So why whould he talk to me?
Maybe he likes me. Nah...I am way to wierd for him.
I need to stop thinking about this, my brain is hurting again.
I think I will just chill here until my mom comes home. We have LOADS to discuss.
I sat in my room for about an hour until I heard the front door shut.
I glanced over at my clock and saw it was 5:30 pm.
I shoved myself off of the bed and ran to my door and swung it open.
I saw my mom in the kitchen on a chair with a magazine.
Her purse was hung on the hook and her keys were next to her.
I walked over to her with a questioning look on my face.
"So mom, long time no see?" I asked.
She glanced up quickly and nodded. "Sorry sweetie, but the studio is getting really popular these days and I have to make sure it's at the top of it's game." She said not looking at me. I rolled my eyes. She was so uninterested. She didn't care. It pissed me off.
"Mom, do you even care what I have to say?" I asked as I folded my arms angrily.
"Hun, you are being over dramatic. Can you give me some alone time right now?" She asked.
I stared at her in shock. She wanted me to go away? What the hell is going on with her! This is not the way she usually acts. She is being very wierd. I want to know what is going on with her. She has changed since I came here. Something is wrong with her.
"Mom? What the hell is going on!" I screamed. She startled back and looked up.
"What the hell are you screaming at!?" She askeed as she raised her voice.
"I am screaming at you! You are changing mom. You may not see it but I do! You are barely at home and James always seems so lonely and tired. You are not treating him with respect mom! What is going on!? What is happend to you!?" I screamed as I layed my hands to my side. My mom looked at me like she had just saw me get hit by a bus.
"I am going upstairs." She said as she slammed her magazine down and walked out. I just flew my arms up and stomped hard and ran to my room and shut the door loud enough for her to hear. I plopped on to my bed and cried every tear I had.
I was so mad! How could she do this to our family!? She always ruins everything! She doesn't care what she does to us! She doesn't care how her actions affect us! I am so mad.
