Chapter 1: admiring.
POV: Bella's.
Okay so here we are. In the high school cafeteria waiting for lunch to be over. Lunch time at Phoenix high was always amusing. Especially when you have all the cute guys, jocks, geeks and normal people like me having food fights every Friday.
It first started when Emmett McCarthy, jock and football player, decided to chuck a load of pasta onto a near by table. They threw stuff back and lets just say, everyone joined in.
Unfortunately today is a Monday. Worst day ever.
I was sitting at my normal table in the middle of the cafeteria with my two best friends, Angela and Alice, admiring one of the hottest guys ever. And just my luck, he was also Alice's older brother, Edward.
I have secretly liked him for a few years, since I was 13. Whenever I go to Alice's house, he will always be in his room, watching the television or in the games room with some of his friends.
Edward was the perfect guy. He had the looks, the personality and the most perfect family ever.
He had light Bronze hair with flicks of brown, black and red in it. All natural. It was wild and untamed, it didn't really help when he kept running his fingers through it most of the time.
His face was shaped to perfection. His jaw line was strong and had the lightest amount of stubble on it. A straight sharp nose, bright emerald green eyes framed with thick dark lashes. His skin was pale white, strange when you live in one of the sunniest places in the USA but it suited him.
He was tall, I mean super tall. Like giant. Well to me he was because I only stood around 5'5 He stood at around 6'2.
No one knows I like him, well that's what I thought.
"Bella, stop looking at my brother and talk with us. You know the summer dance is coming up soon"
I blushed and turned my head back to the table, suddenly I found the table top pattern very interesting.
"So, what are you going to wear?" Angela asked me.
I shrugged and answered,
"I don't know, a dress?" I cocked an eyebrow as they laughed at me.
"Silly Bella" Angela laughed.
"What sort of dress stupid?" Alice said.
"Guys, can't you just get me something? Or take me out to get one?" I asked annoyed.
There eyes sparkled and I knew that I had just done something terrible.
I'm going to let them take me shopping. Oh dear.
"Yes! You will not regret this Bells!" they both squealed.
I groaned and covered my face.
"Do I have to go?" I whined.
They glared at me.
"Okay I'll go"
"And just think Bella, when you get ready at my house, Edward will be there" Alice wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.
It was my turn to glare at them.
"What makes you think I like him?"
Angela giggled and patted my shoulder.
"it's a bit obvious the way you look at him. Its like your eyes are glued to him"
I sighed and ran my fingers through my long hair.
"Okay, so maybe I like him. What's wrong with that?"
"Maybe because he's my brother, he's 3 years older than you, you've talked to him maybe two times in the past 3 years and he has almost finished school" Alice said.
"Thanks for destroying my hopes Alice" I mumbled sadly.
"Oh Bells. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it" she whispered apologetically.
I smiled slightly at her.
"It's okay. I forgive you, so what time are we going shopping?" I asked trying to sound happy.
"I'll get my Mom to pick you up at 5 then we will go then"
I nodded my head.
"You too Angie" Alice said.
Just then the Bell went. Of to next lesson….. Biology, yay?
X.~. Someone . Told . Me .~.X
"Dad!" I called out as I walked through the front door.
"In here!" he called back.
I walked my way to the kitchen to find him standing behind the stove, stirring something in a pan.
I peaked over to see what it was.
"Looking good Dad, hey can I go shopping with Alice and Angela in half an hour?" I asked him.
He gave me a confused look and said,
"What for?"
"It's for a dress for the summer dance"
He sighed and took his wallet out and gave me his card.
"Spend as much as you like Bells"
I squealed and hugged him.
"Thank you Daddy!"
I ran up stairs to get ready.
Changing out of my school clothes and slipping on some black jeans, a plain blue shirt and my tennis shoes. Done.
What to do for the next ten minutes. I'll just wait downstairs.
Once down there I watched my Dad cook his dinner.
'Beep! Beep!' oh! A text message.
I looked down at my mobile and opened the text.
It read,
'Hey Bells,
We are in the car, see you out there'
"Dad, I'm going now, see you later" I kissed his cheek and ran out the door to the car.
The back door was open so I slipped in.
"Hey Bella!" Alice and Angela greeted.
"Hey guys, Hello Esme" I greeted her.
"Hello Bella. How are you?" she asked.
"I'm good thanks" it was then that I noticed Edward in the front.
I must have been caught staring because the next thing I knew he turned around and smiled at me.
"Hello Bella" then he turned back and listened to his I-pod. Loudly.
Esme sighed and shook her head.
Fifteen minutes into the drive, we were all giggling as Esme started yelling at Edward to turn his music down.
"Edward! Turn it down you will go deaf otherwise" she nudged his arm.
He groaned.
"Oh well. I'll get a hearing aid" thankfully he turned it down a bit.
"You boys are useless" she mumbled.
"What was that?" he asked annoyed.
"Nothing baby" she smiled.
"Mom!" he groaned.
We laughed again.
Another ten minutes and we were finally at the shopping mall.
"Okay girls, go get your things, I will be with Edward"
"Bye Mom!" Alice shouted as she dragged me and Angela into a dress shop.
"So why is your brother here?" I asked.
"He needs new school trousers, he ripped them" Alice giggled.
"How did he manage that this time?" Angela asked.
"He was play fighting with Emmett and they fell down a hill and he ripped his trousers"
We all laughed and started looking through racks of dresses.
I found one that I liked and took it to the dressing rooms where the other two were waiting.
"Right, lets try these on" we went into our separate rooms and got changed.
My dress was a dark blue with a black sash around my waist that tied up at the side. It flowed down to my knees with a few frills and was strapless.
I walked out of the room and waited for the girls.
Angela came out first, she was wearing a dark green dress that went down to the ground and had a detailed beaded design around the neckline. It was also strapless.
"Looking good Angie" I said, clapping. She spun around and struck a pose.
"You too Bella, give me a twirl" I blushed and spun around.
She laughed at me as I hid my face.
"Okay girls, are you ready?" I heard Alice shout.
We scrambled to the chair in front of her curtain and said yes.
"TA DA!" she shouted as she strutted out and struck a pose.
Her dress was a short purple dress that hit her mid thigh. It had spaghetti straps and had a silver sash around her waist that tied in a bow at the back.
"Very nice Al" I said. Angela whistled.
"Okay I'm getting this one" we all agreed and changed back into our normal clothes.
After paying for the dresses we went to schuh, the best shoe shop ever to buy some heels.
I decided on a pair of black pumps that didn't cost a lot.
"Okay guys I'm done" I told them.
"Okay let's go" they said.
We met up with Esme and Edward outside the toilets because the girls needed to go. Turns out I didn't and neither did Edward.
"So Bella, what did you get?" he asked me. I nearly forgot how to breath when he said my name.
"I got a dress and shoes for the summer dance" I told him, blushing.
He smiled his crooked grin at me then reached for my bag.
"Can I look?"
I clutched the back to my chest, eyes wide.
"Nope, you will just have to wait and see" I teased him.
"Please?" he begged.
I smiled and shook my head.
"Your no fun" he teased. I stuck my tongue out at him.
"So anyways, a little pixie told me that you like someone. Do I know who it is?" he cocked an eyebrow.
"Well yes you do" I told him.
"Will you tell me?" I shook my head.
"Why not?" he whined.
"Because I'm scared" I whispered.
"Why are you scared?" he whispered as he sat down on a wall near by. I sat next to him.
"Because I know he won't feel the same way for me"
He rubbed my back and I stiffened then relaxed.
"You never know, he might" I looked into his eyes and saw something I didn't recognise.
"How would you know?" I asked sadly.
He opened his mouth and mumbled some words that I could only just hear.
"Because I know who it is and he feels the same way about you"
"What was that?" I asked. He shot his head up and started gulping for air.
"Ah, it was, er, nothing. Don't worry" just then Esme, Alice and Angela came back outside.
"Look if you ever need someone to talk to other than my sister or Angela then call me"
He handed me a piece of paper with his number on it.
I nodded and slipped it into my pocket.
"Right then, let's get home" Esme said as she picked up her shopping bags.
X . ~ . Someone . Told . Me . ~ . X
I was now in bed and just about to fall asleep when I got another text.
'What was that all about with my brother Miss Swan? ~ Alice'
I sighed and text her back.
'Nothing, apparently you told him about me liking someone. Why would you do that Miss Cullen? ~ Bella'
'Erm, I don't know what your talking about, I have to go bye! ~ Alice'
I sighed and decided to text Edward.
'Hey it's Bella'
'Hey Bella, what's up? ~ Edward'
'Not a lot. Your sister is acting strange. ~ Bella'
'Yeah, ever since she told me you liked someone she has been. ~ Edward'
'Edward? What did you mean when you said he feels the same way? ~ Bella'
'Because he does. I know you like me Bella and I like you too. But we have to get to know each other. ~ Edward'
'Oh my god! This is so embarrassing. ~ Bella'
'Why? ~ Edward'
'Because I have a crush on my best friends older brother and he knows. ~ Bella'
'Don't worry. You can't help who you like. ~ Edward'
'Okay. I have to go now. I'll see you tomorrow? ~ Bella'
'Sure. Bye Bella, sweet dreams. ~ Edward. X'
Oh my god he put a kiss. And he likes me.
I rolled over in bed and screamed into my pillow.
"Bella? Are you okay I heard a scream?" I heard my Dads panicked voice on the other side of my door.
"Yeah sorry, I er, I stubbed my toe" I scrunched my eyes hoping he would believe me.
"Okay, good night" he said.
I went and turned off my light then crawled back into bed.
I closed my eyes and fell into a peace full sleep.
