Bella stood at her locker before lunch, putting books away and mentally preparing herself for disappointment. She was prepared to look over at the chair where Edward sat in the cafeteria and find it empty, with no sign of him anywhere else. She was also ready to go to Biology and have no partner - again. He had been out of school for two days now. Bella knew she was probably being silly, but she had a feeling his unexplained absences had something to do with her.
Why did she care so much? That was what bothered her. She had talked to him not more than an hour during class on Monday. Sure, he was friendly, good at making conversation, more handsome than any of the other boys around here, and much nicer to her than anyone else had been, but why should she get so attached to him based on what she knew from an hour's conversation?
Bella slammed her locker shut unnecessarily hard and turned to walk to the cafeteria, but she froze as soon as she saw him. Edward was standing across the hall, looking right at her. She tried to stifle the voice inside her head that joyfully cried He's here! He's here!
Without thinking about it, Bella approached him. "Edward," she greeted him, "where were you?" she asked, sounding suspicious rather than curious and conversational as she had intended.
She shut up immediately as soon as she heard herself, hoping he would not hear the two days' worth of disappointment in her voice. Bella bit her lip, one of her worst habits when she became unsure of herself, and shifted her bag uncomfortably in her arms, as she anticipated his response.
