I went back to school. This was the right thing to do, the most inconspicuous way tobehave.
By the end of the day, almost all the other students had returned to class, too. JustTyler and Bella and a few others—who were probably using the accident as a chance toditch—remained absent.
It shouldn’t be so hard for me to do the right thing. But, all afternoon, I wasgritting my teeth against the urge that had me yearning1 ditch, too—in order to go find thegirl again.
Like a stalker. An obsessessed stalker. An obsessessed, vampire2 stalker.
School today was—somehow, impossibly—even more boring than it had seemedjust a week ago. Coma-like. It was as if the color had drained from the bricks, the trees,the sky, the faces around me… I stared at the cracks in the walls.
There was another right thing I should be doing…that I was not. Of course, it wasalso a wrong thing. It all depended on the perspective from which you viewed it.
From the perspective of a Cullen—not just a vampire, but a Cullen, someone whobelonged to a family, such a rare state in our world—the right thing to do would havegone something like this:
“I’m surprised to see you in class, Edward. I heard you were involved in thatawful accident this morning.”
“Yes, I was, Mr. Banner, but I was the lucky one.” A friendly smile. “I didn’t gethurt at all… I wish I could say the same for Tyler and Bella.”
“How are they?”
“I think Tyler is fine…just some superficial scrapes from the windshield glass.
I’m not sure about Bella, though.” A worried frown. “She might have a concussion3. Iheard she was pretty incoherent for a while—seeing things even. I know the doctors wereworried…”
That’s how it should have gone. That’s what I owed my family.
“I’m surprised to see you in class, Edward. I heard you were involved in thatawful accident this morning.”
“I wasn’t hurt.” No smile.
Mr. Banner shifted his weight from foot to foot, uncomfortable.
“Do you have any idea how Tyler Crowley and Bella Swan are? I heard therewere some injuries…”
I shrugged4. “I wouldn’t know.”
Mr. Banner cleared his throat. “Er, right…” he said, my cold stare making hisvoice sound a bit strained.
