Awesome banner made by my Beta xrxdanixrx...she is a genius and I can't stop staring at it...

“What are you thinking?” Edward asked me.

“I’m thinking about how big of a failure I am,” I answered truthfully.

We were still holding each other in his classroom and I realized quickly how dangerous that was...that was where Edward and I went wrong. The need we both felt to touch each other was costing us, and if I didn’t put a stop to it, well, I knew things were going to get worse way before they got better.

Edward narrowed his eyes at me disapprovingly. “You're not a failure, Bella.”

The furrow in his brow only increased as I put some distance between us. He reached out to bring me back in, but I shook my head stubbornly.

“I’m not running,” I assured him, “but we need to stop being so open. While I’m here, we need to at least pretend I’m your student.”

Edward ran his hands through his hair roughly and I envied him at that moment.  Only a minute had passed and I was already losing my resolve.

“She’s right, you know.”  

My body tensed to the voice that suddenly was in the room with us. It was unfamiliar and I couldn’t place it for the life of me, but this unknown voice was agreeing with me--which meant, this unknown person heard everything I said…

Oh shit, oh shit…
