I made my way to English in a daze. I didn't even realize when I first walked in that class had already started.
查看中文翻译
I flushed and hurried to my seat.
查看中文翻译
It wasn't till class ended that I realized Mike wasn't sitting in his usual seat next to me. I felt a twinge of guilt. But he and Eric both met me at the door as usual, so I figured I wasn't totally unforgiven. Mike seemed to become more himself as we walked, gaining enthusiasm as he talked about the weather report for this weekend. The rain was supposed to take a minor break, and so maybe his beach trip would be possible. I tried to sound eager, to make up for disappointing him yesterday. It was hard; rain or no rain, it would still only be in the high forties, if we were lucky.
查看中文翻译
"Thank you for joining us, Miss Swan," Mr. Mason said in a disparaging tone.
查看中文翻译
The rest of the morning passed in a blur. It was difficult to believe that I hadn't just imagined what Edward had said, and the way his eyes had looked. Maybe it was just a very convincing dream that I'd confused with reality. That seemed more probable than that I really appealed to him on any level.
查看中文翻译
So I was impatient and frightened as Jessica and I entered the cafeteria. I wanted to see his face, to see if he'd gone back to the cold, indifferent person I'd known for the last several weeks. Or if, by some miracle, I'd really heard what I thought I'd heard this morning. Jessica babbled on and on about her dance plans -- Lauren and Angela had asked the other boys and they were all going together -- completely unaware of my inattention.
查看中文翻译
Disappointment flooded through me as my eyes unerringly focused on his table. The other four were there, but he was absent. Had he gone home? I followed the still-babbling Jessica through the line, crushed. I'd lost my appetite -- I bought nothing but a bottle of lemonade. I just wanted to go sit down and sulk.
查看中文翻译
"Edward Cullen is staring at you again," Jessica said, finally breaking through my abstraction with his name. "I wonder why he's sitting alone today."
查看中文翻译
My head snapped up. I followed her gaze to see Edward, smiling crookedly, staring at me from an empty table across the cafeteria from where he usually sat. Once he'd caught my eye, he raised one hand and motioned with his index finger for me to join him. As I stared in disbelief, he winked.
查看中文翻译
"Does he mean you?" Jessica asked with insulting astonishment in her voice.
查看中文翻译
"Maybe he needs help with his Biology homework," I muttered for her benefit. "Um, I'd better go see what he wants."
查看中文翻译
I could feel her staring after me as I walked away.
查看中文翻译
I sat down automatically, watching him with caution. He was still smiling. It was hard to believe that someone so beautiful could be real. I was afraid that he might disappear in a sudden puff of smoke, and I would wake up.
查看中文翻译
"Why don't you sit with me today?" he asked, smiling.
查看中文翻译
"I know." He smiled again, and then he changed the subject. "I think your friends are angry with me for stealing you."
查看中文翻译
"Well…" He paused, and then the rest of the words followed in a rush. "I decided as long as I was going to hell, I might as well do it thoroughly."
查看中文翻译
When I reached his table, I stood behind the chair across from him, unsure.
查看中文翻译
"This is different," I finally managed.
查看中文翻译
I waited for him to say something that made sense. The seconds ticked by.
查看中文翻译
"You know I don't have any idea what you mean," I eventually pointed out.
查看中文翻译
He seemed to be waiting for me to say something.
查看中文翻译
"You lost me again."
查看中文翻译
"Don't worry -- I don't understand any of it," I said wryly.
查看中文翻译
"Friends…" he mused, dubious.
查看中文翻译
"Yes -- giving up trying to be good. I'm just going to do what I want now, and let the chips fall where they may." His smile faded as he explained, and a hard edge crept into his voice.
查看中文翻译
"So, in plain English, are we friends now?"
查看中文翻译
"I told you -- I got tired of trying to stay away from you. So I'm giving up." He was still smiling, but his ocher eyes were serious.
查看中文翻译
"I always say too much when I'm talking to you -- that's one of the problems."
查看中文翻译
"They'll survive." I could feel their stares boring into my back.
查看中文翻译
"I may not give you back, though," he said with a wicked glint in his eyes.
查看中文翻译
The breathtaking crooked smile reappeared.
查看中文翻译
"Giving up?" I repeated in confusion.
查看中文翻译
"No," I said, but, ridiculously, my voice broke. "Surprised, actually… what brought all this on?"
查看中文翻译
"I'm counting on that."
查看中文翻译
He laughed. "You look worried."
查看中文翻译
He grinned. "Well, we can try, I suppose. But I'm warning you now that I'm not a good friend for you." Behind his smile, the warning was real.
查看中文翻译
I gulped.
查看中文翻译
"Or not," I muttered.
查看中文翻译
"I think you've made your opinion on the subject of my intellect clear, too." My eyes narrowed.
查看中文翻译
I blushed. I had been vacillating during the last month between Bruce Wayne and Peter Parker. There was no way I was going to own up to that.
查看中文翻译
"So, as long as I'm being… not smart, we'll try to be friends?" I struggled to sum up the confusing exchange.
查看中文翻译
"Not too much," I admitted.
查看中文翻译
I looked up into his deep gold eyes, became befuddled, and, as usual, blurted out the truth.
查看中文翻译
"Are you having any luck with that?" he asked in an offhand tone.
查看中文翻译
His jaw tightened, but he kept his smile in place with some effort.
查看中文翻译
"You say that a lot," I noted, trying to ignore the sudden trembling in my stomach and keep my voice even.
查看中文翻译
I looked down at my hands wrapped around the lemonade bottle, not sure what to do now.
查看中文翻译
"I'm trying to figure out what you are."
查看中文翻译
"Yes, because you're not listening to me. I'm still waiting for you to believe it. If you're smart, you'll avoid me."
查看中文翻译
"That sounds about right."
查看中文翻译
He chuckled. "What are your theories?"
查看中文翻译
"What are you thinking?" he asked curiously.
查看中文翻译
He smiled apologetically.
查看中文翻译
I shook my head. "Too embarrassing."
查看中文翻译
He grimaced.
查看中文翻译
"That's really frustrating, you know," he complained.
查看中文翻译
"No," I disagreed quickly, my eyes narrowing, "I can't imagine why that would be frustrating at all -- just because someone refuses to tell you what they're thinking, even if all the while they're making cryptic little remarks specifically designed to keep you up at night wondering what they could possibly mean… now, why would that be frustrating?"
查看中文翻译
"Or better," I continued, the pent-up annoyance flowing freely now, "say that person also did a wide range of bizarre things -- from saving your life under impossible circumstances one day to treating you like a pariah the next, and he never explained any of that, either, even after he promised. That, also, would be very non-frustrating."
查看中文翻译
"Won't you tell me?" he asked, tilting his head to one side with a shockingly tempting smile.
查看中文翻译
"I don't like double standards."
查看中文翻译
"You've got a bit of a temper, don't you?"
查看中文翻译
We stared at each other, unsmiling.
查看中文翻译
He glanced over my shoulder, and then, unexpectedly, he snickered.
查看中文翻译
"I don't know who you're talking about," I said frostily. "But I'm sure you're wrong, anyway."
查看中文翻译
"I'm not. I told you, most people are easy to read."
查看中文翻译
I had to look away from the intensity of his stare. I concentrated on unscrewing the lid of my lemonade. I took a swig, staring at the table without seeing it.
查看中文翻译
"Can you do me a favor?" I asked after a second of hesitation.
查看中文翻译
"Yes. Except for you." His mood shifted suddenly; his eyes turned brooding. "I wonder why that is."
查看中文翻译
"Your boyfriend seems to think I'm being unpleasant to you -- he's debating whether or not to come break up our fight." He snickered again.
查看中文翻译
"No." I didn't feel like mentioning that my stomach was already full -- of butterflies. "You?" I looked at the empty table in front of him.
查看中文翻译
"It's not much," I assured him.
查看中文翻译
"Aren't you hungry?" he asked, distracted.
查看中文翻译
He was suddenly wary. "That depends on what you want."
查看中文翻译
"No, I'm not hungry." I didn't understand his expression -- it looked like he was enjoying some private joke.
查看中文翻译
"What?"
查看中文翻译
"Except me, of course."
查看中文翻译
"You didn't qualify, you just promised one answer," he reminded me.
查看中文翻译
"Thanks."
查看中文翻译
I looked at the lemonade bottle as I spoke, tracing the circle of the opening with my pinkie finger.
查看中文翻译
"Please?" he breathed, leaning toward me.
查看中文翻译
"That sounds fair." He was pressing his lips together to keep from laughing when I looked up.
查看中文翻译
"Please tell me just one little theory." His eyes still smoldered at me.
查看中文翻译
I blinked, my mind going blank. Holy cow, how did he do that?
查看中文翻译
He looked down, and then glanced up at me through his long black lashes, his ocher eyes scorching.
查看中文翻译
"Yes, you will." I was positive about that.
查看中文翻译
"Um, well, bitten by a radioactive spider?" Was he a hypnotist, too? Or was I just a hopeless pushover?
查看中文翻译
Whoops. "Not that one."
查看中文翻译
"I just wondered… if you could warn me beforehand the next time you decide to ignore me for my own good. Just so I'm prepared."
查看中文翻译
"Tell me one theory."
查看中文翻译
"One."
查看中文翻译
"Just one theory -- I won't laugh."
查看中文翻译
"And you've broken promises yourself," I reminded him back.
查看中文翻译
"Er, what?" I asked, dazed.
查看中文翻译
"Then can I have one answer in return?" he demanded.
查看中文翻译
He waited, guarded but curious.
查看中文翻译
"I'll figure it out eventually," I warned him.
查看中文翻译
"You're not even close," he teased.
查看中文翻译
"No spiders?"
查看中文翻译
He struggled to compose his face.
查看中文翻译
"Because…"
查看中文翻译
"None."
查看中文翻译
"Dang," I sighed.
查看中文翻译
"I'm sorry, that's all I've got," I said, miffed.
查看中文翻译
"But not bad," I whispered, shaking my head. "No, I don't believe that you're bad."
查看中文翻译
"What if I'm not a superhero? What if I'm the bad guy?" He smiled playfully, but his eyes were impenetrable.
查看中文翻译
"And no radioactivity?"
查看中文翻译
He just looked at me, eyes full of some emotion I couldn't comprehend.
查看中文翻译
"Oh," I said, as several things he'd hinted fell suddenly into place. "I see."
查看中文翻译
"I wish you wouldn't try." He was serious again.
查看中文翻译
"That's not very creative," he scoffed.
查看中文翻译
"You're not supposed to laugh, remember?"
查看中文翻译
"Nope."
查看中文翻译
"Kryptonite doesn't bother me, either," he chuckled.
查看中文翻译
"Do you?" His face was abruptly severe, as if he were afraid that he'd accidentally said too much.
查看中文翻译
"You're dangerous?" I guessed, my pulse quickening as I intuitively realized the truth of my own words. He was dangerous. He'd been trying to tell me that all along.
查看中文翻译
"I'm not going to class today," he said, twirling the lid so fast it was just a blur.
查看中文翻译
The silence lasted until I noticed that the cafeteria was almost empty.
查看中文翻译
I jumped to my feet. "We're going to be late."
查看中文翻译
"You're wrong." His voice was almost inaudible. He looked down, stealing my bottle lid and then spinning it on its side between his fingers. I stared at him, wondering why I didn't feel afraid. He meant what he was saying -- that was obvious. But I just felt anxious, on edge… and, more than anything else, fascinated. The same way I always felt when I was near him.
查看中文翻译
"Why not?"
查看中文翻译
"It's healthy to ditch class now and then." He smiled up at me, but his eyes were still troubled.
查看中文翻译
"Well, I'm going," I told him. I was far too big a coward to risk getting caught.
查看中文翻译
He turned his attention back to his makeshift top. "I'll see you later, then."
查看中文翻译
I hesitated, torn, but then the first bell sent me hurrying out the door -- with a last glance confirming that he hadn't moved a centimeter.
查看中文翻译
As I half-ran to class, my head was spinning faster than the bottle cap. So few questions had been answered in comparison to how many new questions had been raised. At least the rain had stopped.
查看中文翻译
"Okay, guys, I want you all to take one piece from each box," he said as he produced a pair of rubber gloves from the pocket of his lab jacket and pulled them on. The sharp sound as the gloves snapped into place against his wrists seemed ominous to me. "The first should be an indicator card," he went on, grabbing a white card with four squares marked on it and displaying it. "The second is a four-pronged applicator --" he held up something that looked like a nearly toothless hair pick " -- and the third is a sterile micro-lancet." He held up a small piece of blue plastic and split it open. The barb was invisible from this distance, but my stomach flipped.
查看中文翻译
I was lucky; Mr. Banner wasn't in the room yet when I arrived. I settled quickly into my seat, aware that both Mike and Angela were staring at me. Mike looked resentful; Angela looked surprised, and slightly awed.
查看中文翻译
Mr. Banner came in the room then, calling the class to order. He was juggling a few small cardboard boxes in his arms. He put them down on Mike's table, telling him to start passing them around the class.
查看中文翻译
"I'll be coming around with a dropper of water to prepare your cards, so please don't start until I get to you." He began at Mike's table again, carefully putting one drop of water in each of the four squares. "Then I want you to carefully prick your finger with the lancet…" He grabbed Mike's hand and jabbed the spike into the tip of Mike's middle finger. Oh no. Clammy moisture broke out across my forehead.
查看中文翻译
"Put a small drop of blood on each of the prongs." He demonstrated, squeezing Mike's finger till the blood flowed. I swallowed convulsively, my stomach heaving.
查看中文翻译
He continued through the room with his water drops. I put my cheek against the cool black tabletop and tried to hold on to my consciousness. All around me I could hear squeals, complaints, and giggles as my classmates skewered their fingers. I breathed slowly in and out through my mouth.
查看中文翻译
"The Red Cross is having a blood drive in Port Angeles next weekend, so I thought you should all know your blood type." He sounded proud of himself. "Those of you who aren't eighteen yet will need a parent's permission -- I have slips at my desk."
查看中文翻译
"And then apply it to the card," he finished, holding up the dripping red card for us to see. I closed my eyes, trying to hear through the ringing in my ears.
查看中文翻译
"Bella, are you all right?" Mr. Banner asked. His voice was close to my head, and it sounded alarmed.
查看中文翻译
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.
查看中文翻译
"Can someone take Bella to the nurse, please?" he called.
查看中文翻译
"Yes, sir," I muttered, internally kicking myself for not ditching when I had the chance.
查看中文翻译
"I already know my blood type, Mr. Banner," I said in a weak voice. I was afraid to raise my head.
查看中文翻译
"Yes," I whispered. Just let me get out of here, I thought. I'll crawl.
查看中文翻译
"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.
查看中文翻译
"Just let me sit for a minute, please?" I begged.
查看中文翻译
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.
查看中文翻译
I didn't have to look up to know that it would be Mike who volunteered.
查看中文翻译
"Can you walk?" Mr. Banner asked.
查看中文翻译
"Are you feeling faint?"
查看中文翻译
He helped me sit on the edge of the walk.
查看中文翻译
"Wow, you're green, Bella," Mike said nervously.
查看中文翻译
"I'll take her," Edward said. I could hear the smile still in his voice. "You can go back to class."
查看中文翻译
He chuckled.
查看中文翻译
"I was taking her to the nurse," Mike explained in a defensive tone, "but she wouldn't go any farther."
查看中文翻译
"Bella?" a different voice called from the distance.
查看中文翻译
"Put me down!" Please, please let me not vomit on him. He was walking before I was finished talking.
查看中文翻译
"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.
查看中文翻译
"Bella." Edward's voice was right beside me, relieved now. "Can you hear me?"
查看中文翻译
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.
查看中文翻译
Mike seemed stressed. "I think she's fainted. I don't know what happened, she didn't even stick her finger."
查看中文翻译
No! Please let me be imagining that horribly familiar voice.
查看中文翻译
"No," Mike protested. "I'm supposed to do it."
查看中文翻译
"No," I groaned. "Go away."
查看中文翻译
"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.
查看中文翻译
"Hey!" Mike called, already ten paces behind us.
查看中文翻译
Edward ignored him. "You look awful," he told me, grinning.
查看中文翻译
I didn't answer. I closed my eyes again and fought the nausea with all my strength, clamping my lips together.
查看中文翻译
"So you faint at the sight of blood?" he asked. This seemed to entertain him.
查看中文翻译
"And not even your own blood," he continued, enjoying himself.
查看中文翻译
"Oh my," I heard a female voice gasp.
查看中文翻译
I don't know how he opened the door while carrying me, but it was suddenly warm, so I knew we were inside.
查看中文翻译
"She fainted in Biology," Edward explained.
查看中文翻译
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.
查看中文翻译
He muffled a snicker.
查看中文翻译
"You can go back to class now," she told him.
查看中文翻译
"Just lie down for a minute, honey; it'll pass."
查看中文翻译
"I usually am -- but about what in particular this time?"
查看中文翻译
"Sometimes," I admitted. Edward coughed to hide another laugh.
查看中文翻译
"I'll go get you some ice for your forehead, dear," she said to me, and then bustled out of the room.
查看中文翻译
"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.
查看中文翻译
"You were right," I moaned, letting my eyes close.
查看中文翻译
"She's just a little faint," he reassured the startled nurse. "They're blood typing in Biology."
查看中文翻译
"Does this happen a lot?" she asked.
查看中文翻译
"I know," I sighed. The nausea was already fading.
查看中文翻译
"Ditching is healthy." I practiced breathing evenly.
查看中文翻译
"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."
查看中文翻译
The nurse nodded sagely. "There's always one."
查看中文翻译
"Poor Mike. I'll bet he's mad."
查看中文翻译
"Ha ha." I still had my eyes closed, but I was feeling more normal every minute.
查看中文翻译
"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.
查看中文翻译
"Here you go, dear." She laid it across my forehead. "You're looking better," she added.
查看中文翻译
"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.
查看中文翻译
"Honestly -- I've seen corpses with better color. I was concerned that I might have to avenge your murder."
查看中文翻译
"I saw his face -- I could tell."
查看中文翻译
"I was in my car, listening to a CD." Such a normal response -- it surprised me.
查看中文翻译
I heard the door and opened my eyes to see the nurse with a cold compress in her hand.
查看中文翻译
"He absolutely loathes me," Edward said cheerfully.
查看中文翻译
"You can't know that," I argued, but then I wondered suddenly if he could.
查看中文翻译
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.
查看中文翻译
"We've got another one," she warned.
查看中文翻译
And then Mike staggered through the door, now supporting a sallow-looking Lee Stephens, another boy in our Biology class. Edward and I drew back against the wall to give them room.
查看中文翻译
I handed the compress back to the nurse. "Here, I don't need this."
查看中文翻译
"Oh no," Edward muttered. "Go out to the office, Bella."
查看中文翻译
I hopped down to free up the cot for the next invalid.
查看中文翻译
"People can't smell blood," he contradicted.
查看中文翻译
"What?" I asked.
查看中文翻译
He was staring at me with an unfathomable expression.
查看中文翻译
"I smelled the blood," I said, wrinkling my nose. Lee wasn't sick from watching other people, like me.
查看中文翻译
"It's nothing."
查看中文翻译
I spun and caught the door before it closed, darting out of the infirmary. I could feel Edward right behind me.
查看中文翻译
"Well, I can -- that's what makes me sick. It smells like rust… and salt."
查看中文翻译
Mike came through the door then, glancing from me to Edward. The look he gave Edward confirmed what Edward had said about loathing. He looked back at me, his eyes glum.
查看中文翻译
"Trust me -- go."
查看中文翻译
I looked up at him, bewildered.
查看中文翻译
"You actually listened to me." He was stunned.
查看中文翻译
"Just keep your hand in your pocket," I warned him again.
查看中文翻译
"Yeah, I guess… So are you going this weekend? To the beach?" While he spoke, he flashed another glare toward Edward, who was standing against the cluttered counter, motionless as a sculpture, staring off into space.
查看中文翻译
"You look better," he accused.
查看中文翻译
"It's not bleeding anymore," he muttered. "Are you going back to class?"
查看中文翻译
I tried to sound as friendly as possible. "Sure, I said I was in."
查看中文翻译
"I'll be there," I promised.
查看中文翻译
"Are you kidding? I'd just have to turn around and come back."
查看中文翻译
"We're meeting at my dad's store, at ten." His eyes flickered to Edward again, wondering if he was giving out too much information. His body language made it clear that it wasn't an open invitation.
查看中文翻译
"See you," I replied. He looked at me once more, his round face slightly pouting, and then as he walked slowly through the door, his shoulders slumped. A swell of sympathy washed over me. I pondered seeing his disappointed face again… in Gym.
查看中文翻译
"I'll see you in Gym, then," he said, moving uncertainly toward the door.
查看中文翻译
"Gym," I groaned.
查看中文翻译
I heard Edward speaking softly at the counter.
查看中文翻译
That wasn't a challenge; I was always pale, and my recent swoon had left a light sheen of sweat on my face. I sat in one of the creaky folding chairs and rested my head against the wall with my eyes closed. Fainting spells always exhausted me.
查看中文翻译
"Yes?" I hadn't heard her return to her desk.
查看中文翻译
Actually, I was thinking I should take her home now. Do you think you could excuse her from class?" His voice was like melting honey. I could imagine how much more overwhelming his eyes would be.
查看中文翻译
I nodded weakly, hamming it up just a bit.
查看中文翻译
"No, I have Mrs. Goff, she won't mind."
查看中文翻译
"Do you need to be excused, too, Edward?" Ms. Cope fluttered. Why couldn't I do that?
查看中文翻译
"Ms. Cope?"
查看中文翻译
"I can take care of that." I hadn't noticed Edward moving to my side, but he spoke now in my ear. "Go sit down and look pale," he muttered.
查看中文翻译
"Bella has Gym next hour, and I don't think she feels well enough.
查看中文翻译
"Okay, it's all taken care of. You feel better, Bella," she called to me.
查看中文翻译
"Thanks," I said as he followed me out. "It's almost worth getting sick to miss Gym."
查看中文翻译
"I'll walk."
查看中文翻译
"Can you walk, or do you want me to carry you again?" With his back to the receptionist, his expression became sarcastic.
查看中文翻译
"So are you going? This Saturday, I mean?"
查看中文翻译
"Anytime." He was staring straight forward, squinting into the rain.
查看中文翻译
I was hoping he would, though it seemed unlikely. I couldn't picture him loading up to carpool with the rest of the kids from school; he didn't belong in the same world. But just hoping that he might gave me the first twinge of enthusiasm I'd felt for the outing.
查看中文翻译
I stood carefully, and I was still fine. He held the door for me, his smile polite but his eyes mocking. I walked out into the cold, fine mist that had just begun to fall. It felt nice -- the first time I'd enjoyed the constant moisture falling out of the sky -- as it washed my face clean of the sticky perspiration.
查看中文翻译
"Where are you all going, exactly?" He was still looking ahead, expressionless.
查看中文翻译
"Down to La Push, to First Beach." I studied his face, trying to read it.
查看中文翻译
Something caught my jacket, yanking me back.
查看中文翻译
"What condition? And what about my truck?" I complained.
查看中文翻译
"Didn't you hear me promise to take you safely home? Do you think I'm going to let you drive in your condition?" His voice was still indignant.
查看中文翻译
I sighed. "I just invited you."
查看中文翻译
I was confused. "I'm going home."
查看中文翻译
We were near the parking lot now. I veered left, toward my truck.
查看中文翻译
"Where do you think you're going?" he asked, outraged. He was gripping a fistful of my jacket in one hand.
查看中文翻译
His eyes seemed to narrow infinitesimally.
查看中文翻译
"Mike -- sch mike." I muttered, preoccupied by the way he'd said "you and I."I liked it more than I should.
查看中文翻译
He glanced down at me from the corner of his eye, smiling wryly. "I really don't think I was invited."
查看中文翻译
"Let's you and I not push poor Mike any further this week. We don't want him to snap." His eyes danced; he was enjoying the idea more than he should.
查看中文翻译
"I'll have Alice drop it off after school." He was towing me toward his car now, pulling me by my jacket. It was all I could do to keep from falling backward. He'd probably just drag me along anyway if I did.
查看中文翻译
"You are so pushy!" I grumbled.
查看中文翻译
"It's open," was all he responded. He got in the driver's side.
查看中文翻译
"Let go!" I insisted. He ignored me. I staggered along sideways across the wet sidewalk until we reached the Volvo. Then he finally freed me -- I stumbled against the passenger door.
查看中文翻译
He lowered the automatic window and leaned toward me across the seat. "Get in, Bella."
查看中文翻译
I tried to maintain what dignity I could as I got into his car. I wasn't very successful -- I looked like a half-drowned cat and my boots squeaked.
查看中文翻译
"I am perfectly capable of driving myself home!" I stood by the car, fuming. It was raining harder now, and I'd never put my hood up, so my hair was dripping down my back.
查看中文翻译
"I'll just drag you back," he threatened, guessing my plan.
查看中文翻译
I didn't answer. I was mentally calculating my chances of reaching the truck before he could catch me. I had to admit, they weren't good.
查看中文翻译
"This is completely unnecessary," I said stiffly.
查看中文翻译
He didn't answer. He fiddled with the controls, turning the heater up and the music down. As he pulled out of the parking lot, I was preparing to give him the silent treatment -- my face in full pout mode -- but then I recognized the music playing, and my curiosity got the better of my intentions.
查看中文翻译
"You know Debussy?" He sounded surprised, too.
查看中文翻译
"It's one of my favorites, too." He stared out through the rain, lost in thought.
查看中文翻译
"Clair de Lune?" I asked, surprised.
查看中文翻译
"Not well," I admitted. "My mother plays a lot of classical music around the house -- I only know my favorites."
查看中文翻译
I listened to the music, relaxing against the light gray leather seat. It was impossible not to respond to the familiar, soothing melody. The rain blurred everything outside the window into gray and green smudges. I began to realize we were driving very fast; the car moved so steadily, so evenly, though, I didn't feel the speed. Only the town flashing by gave it away.

"I have too much Charlie in me. She's more outgoing than I am, and braver. She's irresponsible and slightly eccentric, and she's a very unpredictable cook. She's my best friend." I stopped. Talking about her was making me depressed.
查看中文翻译
I glanced over to see him studying me with curious eyes.
查看中文翻译
"She looks a lot like me, but she's prettier," I said. He raised his eyebrows.
查看中文翻译
"What is your mother like?" he asked me suddenly.
查看中文翻译
"You don't seem seventeen."
查看中文翻译
"How old are you, Bella?" His voice sounded frustrated for some reason I couldn't imagine. He'd stopped the car, and I realized we were at Charlie's house already. The rain was so heavy that I could barely see the house at all. It was like the car was submerged under a river.
查看中文翻译
"What?" he asked, curious again.
查看中文翻译
"I'm seventeen," I responded, a little confused.
查看中文翻译
He made a face and changed the subject.
查看中文翻译
"So why did your mother marry Phil?"
查看中文翻译
His tone was reproachful; it made me laugh.
查看中文翻译
I was surprised he would remember the name; I'd mentioned it just once, almost two months ago. It took me a moment to answer.
查看中文翻译
"My mom always says I was born thirty-five years old and that I get more middle-aged every year." I laughed, and then sighed. "Well, someone has to be the adult." I paused for a second. "You don't seem much like a junior in high school yourself," I noted.
查看中文翻译
"My mother… she's very young for her age. I think Phil makes her feel even younger. At any rate, she's crazy about him." I shook my head. The attraction was a mystery to me.
查看中文翻译
"No one too scary then," he teased.
查看中文翻译
I thought for a moment, wondering whether the truth or a lie would go over better. I decided to go with the truth. "Hmmm… I think you could be, if you wanted to."
查看中文翻译
"What's your definition?"
查看中文翻译
But he ignored my question and asked me another. "Do you think that I could be scary?" He raised one eyebrow, and the faint trace of a smile lightened his face.
查看中文翻译
"What?"
查看中文翻译
"Does it matter?" I countered. "I want her to be happy… and he is who she wants."
查看中文翻译
"Are you frightened of me now?" The smile vanished, and his heavenly face was suddenly serious.
查看中文翻译
I grinned in response. "What do you mean by scary? Multiple facial piercings and extensive tattoos?"
查看中文翻译
"I-I think so," I stuttered. "But she's the parent, after all. It's a little bit different."
查看中文翻译
"That's one definition, I suppose."
查看中文翻译
"That's very generous… I wonder," he mused.
查看中文翻译
"Would she extend the same courtesy to you, do you think? No matter who your choice was?" He was suddenly intent, his eyes searching mine.
查看中文翻译
"Do you approve?" he asked.
查看中文翻译
"No." But I answered too quickly. The smile returned.
查看中文翻译
He was instantly cautious. "What do you want to know?"
查看中文翻译
"My brother and sister, and Jasper and Rosalie for that matter, are going to be quite upset if they have to stand in the rain waiting for me."
查看中文翻译
I hesitated for a moment. "What happened to your parents?"
查看中文翻译
"Yes."
查看中文翻译
"And you love them." It wasn't a question. It was obvious in the way he spoke of them.
查看中文翻译
He glanced at the clock on the dashboard.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, sorry, I guess you have to go." I didn't want to get out of the car.
查看中文翻译
"Yes." He smiled. "I couldn't imagine two better people."
查看中文翻译
"So, now are you going to tell me about your family?" I asked to distract him. "It's got to be a much more interesting story than mine."
查看中文翻译
"You're very lucky."
查看中文翻译
"I know I am."
查看中文翻译
"I'm sorry," I mumbled.
查看中文翻译
"And your brother and sister?"
查看中文翻译
"They died many years ago." His tone was matter-of-fact.
查看中文翻译
"The Cullens adopted you?" I verified.
查看中文翻译
"I don't really remember them that clearly. Carlisle and Esme have been my parents for a long time now."
查看中文翻译
I remembered Charlie had said the Cullens went camping frequently.
查看中文翻译
The helplessness had faded as he spoke. I glared at him.
查看中文翻译
"What are you going to do?" A friend could ask that, right? I hoped the disappointment wasn't too apparent in my voice.
查看中文翻译
He was still smiling as he drove away.
查看中文翻译
He laughed, and there was an edge to his laughter.
查看中文翻译
"Won't I see you tomorrow?"
查看中文翻译
I nodded helplessly.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, well, have fun." I tried to sound enthusiastic. I don't think I fooled him, though. A smile was playing around the edges of his lips.
查看中文翻译
"I'm sure he's already heard. There are no secrets in Forks." I sighed.
查看中文翻译
"Will you do something for me this weekend?" He turned to look me straight in the face, utilizing the full power of his burning gold eyes.
查看中文翻译
"No. Emmett and I are starting the weekend early."
查看中文翻译
"I'll see what I can do," I snapped as I jumped out into the rain. I slammed the door behind me with excessive force.
查看中文翻译
"We're going to be hiking in the Goat Rocks Wilderness, just south of Rainier."
查看中文翻译
"Don't be offended, but you seem to be one of those people who just attract accidents like a magnet. So… try not to fall into the ocean or get run over or anything, all right?" He smiled crookedly.
查看中文翻译
"And you probably want your truck back before Chief Swan gets home, so you don't have to tell him about the Biology incident." He grinned at me.
查看中文翻译
"Have fun at the beach… good weather for sunbathing." He glanced out at the sheeting rain.
