January 18, 2005 11:52 p.m. The day went much better than I had hoped. I kept meeting her eyes, or rather, she kept meeting mine. That is huge with humans. So often they are drawn to us, but then that self-preservation gene kicks in and they want to flee. Bella kept meeting my eyes and I'd find myself just enjoying the moment.
By the end of the day, after sharing classes and lunch with her, I felt how at ease she was with me. Alice came up to us as I walked her to her truck. She smiled as she met her eyes too. Alice was also astonished at the ease with which she made small talk. Flickers of the future kept running through Alice's mind. Further meetings, that looked to be actual dates, began to run together in a never-ending film. A last smile from Bella and she was on her way, her truck loudly exiting the parking lot. Alice hadn't been able to keep her smile from her face. But then, neither could I. The family quickly joined me at the car and there were grins on their faces too. They all had something to say about what they had heard about Bella and how I appeared to be staking my claim. As long as Bella didn't mind, and she seemed happy to see me each time I had appeared, I don't really care what anyone else in the school has to say. Alice had already foreseen my first dateā¦and I was going to ask Bella out at lunch tomorrow. There is so much hope in my future and it all starts now.
