Summary of Section Two

After Jacob tells the story, Bella starts to understand everything. How Edward saved her so quickly, how he pushed the van away all by himself...Bella knows she can't ignore all the clues as to what he actually is. She looks up vampire on the computer and finds lots of legends that seem to be describing Edward. At the same time, Bella thinks that it's impossible. Jacob was just telling a legend, wasn't he? Then, some of Bella's friends invite her to go to Port Angeles to find some dresses for the prom. Bella goes with them, but she leaves her friends and goes to a bookstore. She finds a bookstore, but she doesn't like it very much. While she's trying to find another one, some guys come up and start talking to her. She walks away from them very quickly, but two of them follow her. Then, while she's trying to get away from the two that are following her, she runs into some more of them. Edward drives up just in time. He makes Bella get in his car, then he asks her to distract him so he won''t go back and kill those people. Edward takes Bella to dinner (while eating nothing himself), and tells Bella that he heard what the people that chased her were thinking. Then he drives Bella home. On the way home, he tells Bella that she is the only person who's mind he can't read. He doesn't admit that he's a vampire, but he does answer some questions that Bella has like:

"Burned by the sun?"

"Myth."

"Sleeping in coffins?"

"Myth. I can't sleep."

So in a way he's kind of telling her that he is a vampire. When they get back to Forks, he drives Bella to and from school every day.
