Chapter 1: Old Friend
Edward's point Of View:
High school was my kingdom. Being the quarterback/captain of the football team gave me that advantage. I had it all... popularity,money,good looks,and all the hot girls at Forks High. I always wished that my brother, Emmett and I would be the ones running Forks High together but he enrolled himself in the army. After he left I changed. I realized that I had lost everything I cared about. My parents were barely home,so I was always alone and every time I tried to date a girl from school they were just plain annoying bitches.
Sitting at my usual table during lunch,with the football team and the cheerleaders surrounding me. Including all the blondes at Forks High. The football team weren't so bad to sit with but it was the girls that were driving me nuts! Every conversation had something to do with me asking them out. They didn't have to say it, they were just way too obvious. I didn't want to date another damn blonde. Especially after Tanya. Damn. Not something I want to go through again. I never used to be like this. I used to be a normal guy. That's when my family were actually a family and when I had... a normal down to earth girlfriend. She broke up with me 2 months after she moved back to Phoenix with her mom. Being bored with the group around me, I got up and headed for the school parking lot. I grabbed my iPod and put my head phones in my ears. I put near full blast, the song I was listening to was "Love The Way You Lie" by Eminem (feat. Rhianna). I turned the hall corner but I bumped into somebody.
I took my head phones out of my ears. Then said,
" Sorry,my bad."
"It's cool. I should have been paying attention." A sweet voice said
I looked at the person's face. She had a heart shaped face,pale skin,chocolate brown eyes with dark eye liner and eye shadow,and she had dark brown emo cut hair. She pulled her left head phone out of her ear, I looked at what she was wearing. She had a grey bennie on,a black crochet floral Tee on with a black tank under neath,grey skinny jeans,vans sk8 HI sneakers on,and colorful bead bracelet and a black rubber bracelet that said something that I couldn't see and a oval shaped ring with rhinestones on it. She was pretty down to earth from what I could tell so far. Then she said something,
"Um,you okay?"
"Huh,oh,yeah. So...are you new here?"
"Is it that obvious?"
"No,it's just that I've never seen you around here before."
"Oh, well, I'm more of a returnee."
"Really,where did you come back from?"
"Wow,Eddie. It's nice to know that you forgot about me."
"What the hell are you talking about? And how do you know my name?"
She crossed her arms,and leaned against the wall and said,
"You honestly don't remember?"
"Remember what?"
"Really,are you fucking kidding me?"
I just stood there. She took a deep breath and said,
"We grew up together. We went out for 3 and a half years. I dumped you 2 months after I moved."
"How did y..."
I didn't finish my sentence. It made sense now. She was...she was,Bella!
"Bella?"
"Jeez, took you awhile."
We walked towards each other and we hugged each other. We stood there for a minute. She pulled away first and then said,
"It good to see you again Edward."
"Same."
She smiled at me. I smiled back then said,
"You've changed. A lot."
"So did you."
"Not as much."
"Yeah right."
"So,when did you get back?"
"2 days ago."
"Shit,you must be tired."
"You have no idea."
We laughed softly,then the bell rang. I didn't want to be away from her.
"What class do you have next?" I asked
"English,with Mr. Lexington."
"What do you know,so do I."
She chuckled,I smiled. Then she said,
"We better get going then."
"You're right. Lets go."
We headed for Mr. Lexington's class. Seeing Bella again just made my day.
