my mouth。 

〃Bella; are you all right?〃 Mr。 Banner asked。 His voice was close to my 
head; and it sounded alarmed。 

〃I already know my blood type; Mr。 Banner;〃 I said in a weak voice。 I was 
afraid to raise my head。 

〃Are you feeling faint?〃 

〃Yes; sir;〃 I muttered; internally kicking myself for not ditching when I 
had the chance。 

〃Can someone take Bella to the nurse; please?〃 he called。 

I didn't have to look up to know that it would be Mike who volunteered。 

〃Can you walk?〃 Mr。 Banner asked。 

〃Yes;〃 I whispered。 Just let me get out of here; I thought。 I'll crawl。 

Mike seemed eager as he put his arm around my waist and pulled my arm 
over his shoulder。 I leaned against him heavily on the way out of the 
classroom。 

Mike towed me slowly across campus。 When we were around the edge of the 
cafeteria; out of sight of building four in case Mr。 Banner was watching; 
I stopped。 

〃Just let me sit for a minute; please?〃 I begged。 

He helped me sit on the edge of the walk。 

〃And whatever you do; keep your hand in your pocket;〃 I warned。 I was 
still so dizzy。 I slumped over on my side; putting my cheek against the 
freezing; damp cement of the sidewalk; closing my eyes。 That seemed to 
help a little。 

〃Wow; you're green; Bella;〃 Mike said nervously。 

〃Bella?〃 a different voice called from the distance。 

No! Please let me be imagining that horribly familiar voice。 

〃What's wrong — is she hurt?〃 His voice was closer now; and he sounded 
upset。 I wasn't imagining it。 I squeezed my eyes shut; hoping to die。 Or; 
at the very least; not to throw up。 

Mike seemed stressed。 〃I think she's fainted。 I don't know what happened; 
she didn't even stick her finger。〃 

〃Bella。〃 Edward's voice was right beside me; relieved now。 〃Can you hear 
me?〃 

〃No;〃 I groaned。 〃Go away。〃 

He chuckled。 

〃I was taking her to the nurse;〃 Mike explained in a defensive tone; 〃but 
she wouldn't go any farther。〃 

〃I'll take her;〃 Edward said。 I could hear the smile still in his voice。 
〃You can go back to class。〃 

〃No;〃 Mike protested。 〃I'm supposed to do it。〃 

Suddenly the sidewalk disappeared from beneath me。 My eyes flew open in 
shock。 Edward had scooped me up in his arms; as easily as if I weighed 
ten pounds instead of a hundred and ten。 

〃Put me down!〃 Please; please let me not vomit on him。 He was walking 
before I was finished talking。 

〃Hey!〃 Mike called; already ten paces behind us。 

Edward ignored him。 〃You look awful;〃 he told me; grinning。 

〃Put me back on the sidewalk;〃 I moaned。 The rocking movement of his walk 
was not helping。 He held me away from his body; gingerly; supporting all 
my weight with just his arms — it didn't seem to bother him。 

〃So you faint at the sight of blood?〃 he asked。 This seemed to entertain 
him。 

I didn't answer。 I closed my eyes again and fought the nausea with all my 
strength; clamping my lips together。 

〃And not even your own blood;〃 he continued; enjoying himself。 

I don't know how he opened the door while carrying me; but it was 
suddenly warm; so I knew we were inside。 

〃Oh my;〃 I heard a female voice gasp。 

〃She fainted in Biology;〃 Edward explained。 

I opened my eyes。 I was in the office; and Edward was striding past the 
front counter toward the nurse's door。 Ms。 Cope; the redheaded front 
office receptionist; ran ahead of him to hold it open。 The grandmotherly 
nurse looked up from a novel; astonished; as Edward swung me into the 
room and placed me gently on the crackly paper that covered the brown 
vinyl mattress on the one cot。 Then he moved to stand against the wall as 
far across the narrow room as possible。 His eyes were bright; excited。 

〃She's just a little faint;〃 he reassured the startled nurse。 〃They're 
blood typing in Biology。〃 

The nurse nodded sagely。 〃There's always one。〃 

He muffled a snicker。 

〃Just lie down for a minute; honey; it'll pass。〃 

〃I know;〃 I sighed。 The nausea was already fading。 

〃Does this happen a lot?〃 she asked。 

〃Sometimes;〃 I admitted。 Edward coughed to hide another laugh。 

〃You can go back to class now;〃 she told him。 

〃I'm supposed to stay with her。〃 He said this with such assured authority 
that — even though she pursed her lips — the nurse didn't argue it 
further。 

〃I'll go get you some ice for your forehead; dear;〃 she said to me; and 
then bustled out of the room。 

〃You were right;〃 I moaned; letting my eyes close。 

〃I usually am — but about what in particular this time?〃 

〃Ditching is healthy。〃 I practiced breathing evenly。 

〃You scared me for a minute there;〃 he admitted after a pause。 His tone 
made it sound like he was confessing a humiliating weakness。 〃I thought 
Newton was dragging your dead body off to bury it in the woods。〃 

〃Ha ha。〃 I still had my eyes closed; but I was feeling more normal every 
minute。 

〃Honestly — I've seen corpses with better color。 I was concerned that I 
might have to avenge your murder。〃 

〃Poor Mike。 I'll bet he's mad。〃 

〃He absolutely loathes me;〃 Edward said cheerfully。 

〃You can't know that;〃 I argued; but then I wondered suddenly if he could。 

〃I saw his face — I could tell。〃 

〃How did you see me? I thought you were ditching。〃 I was almost fine now; 
though the queasiness would probably pass faster if I'd eaten something 
for lunch。 On the other hand; maybe it was lucky my stomach was empty。 

〃I was in my car; listening to a CD。〃 Such a normal response — it 
surprised me。 

I heard the door and opened my eyes to see the nurse with a cold press 
in her hand。 

〃Here you go; dear。〃 She laid it across my forehead。 〃You're looking 
better;〃 she added。 

〃I think I'm fine;〃 I said; sitting up。 Just a little ringing in my ears; 
no spinning。 The mint green walls stayed where they should。 

I could see she was about to make me lie back down; but the door opened 
just then; and Ms。 Cope stuck her head in。 

〃We've got another one;〃 she warned。 

I hopped down to free up the cot for the next invalid。 

I handed the press back to the nurse。 〃Here; I don't need this。〃 

And then Mike staggered through th
