Chapter 3 (Phenomena)

Snow turned into rain turned into an overnight ice mess. What a thing to wake up to. Especially for clutzy people like Bella. She dresses eats and leaves for school with the knowledge she will see Edward.

Arriving at school safely, she realizes that Charlie (her father) has put chains on her truck tires.
At this gesture, not knowing whether to laugh because he sees his awkwardness in her or cry because of his apparent love although he cannot verbalize it, she contemplates. She is struggling to compose herself when....--- A loud screech interrupts with just seconds to observe....Edward is several cars away looking horrified and a large blue van is careening across the parking lot straight at Bella. All of a sudden recognition that Bella was not alone, someone was speaking to her and ohmigod it was HIM. He pushed her out of harms way. The accident that wasn't was over and he had some answers she needed but realized she was not going to get as the throng of school goers were rushing the scene, calling 911 and trying to determine the severity of what happened.

Charlie arrives on scene just as they were loading Bella into an ambulance. She's untouched by the incident but fuzzy on the details. In the Emergency Room, a fellow student Tyler is being treated for the injuries he received in the incident. Tyler was driving the blue van and hit a patch of ice which caused the skid. Edward is also there but under his own steam. In walks the doctor. This MUST be Edwards father the resemblance is so strong.

Bella is going home but prior she attempts to confront Edward to get the truth of the incident. When she looked at him she could tell his unpleasantness had returned and she was not going to get the answers she so desperately needed. That night she dreamed of Edward Cullen.

So my analysis thus far is totally correct. Edward is a head case. Nice to nasty and back again. Unfortunately, you can tell Bella feels strong emotions towards Edward as she goes from the need to confront him to the craving to see him to the dreaming of him at the end of the chapter. I am thinking 'schoolgirl crush, but at this point I am enthralled with the mystery that surrounds Edward and need to know what comes next because I am getting thoroughly engrossed and do not want to miss a thing.
