quarter 2 outside reading post 1

So i guess i have given into reading Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. The book started off rather slow, but now it is picking up the pace and i am now as much in love with Edward as Bella is. i love the fact that he dazzles everyone around him and doesn't even notice. In chapter eight, Bella decided to go dress shopping with her friends Jessica and Angela for a dance that she isnt even going to. after spending the day shopping Bella tells the two other girls to go off and look around Port Angelo, while she goes in search of the book store. After finding the lame book store, Bella goes in search of a slightly more practical looking store. A few wrong turns late and there are some mysterious, slightly scary men following her. 

Edward to the rescue. 

but it is not the Edward he wants her to know, he is angry and trying to keep himself from going into a murderous rage. he tells Bella to distract him with something completely random. she goes on to rant about her assumed date with Tyler to prom, and is upset that even Edward knew about this lie. Once calmed down, Edward takes Bella to the italian restaurant where Bella was to meet Angela and Jessica for dinner, but upon arriving, jessica and angela are leaving. this works to Edward's advantage and he offers to take Bella home. the waitress that is serving the two is going out of her way to catch Edward's attention, but he doesnt seem to notice. He asks Bella to share her theories about him, but she is to embarrassed to share and asks him how he found her. Edward "hypothetically" tells Bella that he can read minds, but for some reason cannot read hers. Why is Edward so drawn to Bella, when he obviously knows being around her is bad news? i guess i will just have to keep reading. i'll keep you posted.
