Chapter 1. Parlez-vous Français?
I had always thought I would take German when I got to High School. German, German, German, all I ever thought of when it came to languages. Then my friends told me how tough a language it was, how every letter had to be pronounced. So there went that language, and there was no way I was taking Spanish. Too long, too boring, and too hard. The only thing left was French.
Since today was the first day on my junior year of high school I had to look good. On the way out the door I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror hanging in the hallway. I was tall, muscular, and very handsome, albeit this wasn't new to me but I continued to admire myself anyway. I usually wasn't such a vain person but today was different for some reason. I continued this until my sister, Alice, started shoving me and yelling "Emmett, were gonna be late! Move it pretty boy!" I laughed and walked sluggishly towards my Jeep.
As soon as we got to school Alice danced off towards her first class and I made my way to my locker. First period I had math. I had never cared much for it but I was good at it. Math ended quickly and I headed to my next class… French. As I walked in I threw my chest out a bit and walked to an empty seat. Jaws dropped and whispers started as I walked by. I smiled to my self as I sat down. After a few minuets the stares wandered from me to the classroom door. I looked up as the goddess walked into the room. She was tall, statuesque, with long, wavy, blonde hair. She had gorgeous blue, grey eyes and a perfect smile. She winked at a small group of boys, who were openly ogling her, and laughed as they checked themselves. Then she turned to me and stared for a few seconds before smiling at me. I turned away; I didn't want her to think I was as simple as the other boys. A shocked look came to her face and she sat down in the chair closest to her. I smiled to myself and promised to talk to her sometime soon. Just then the teacher walked in and closed the door.
"Beinvenue à la classe de Français, Je m'appelle Madem Stevenson. Would anyone like to take a guess as to what I just said?" she asked.
We all stared at her blankly. I only understood one word and that was Madem. Then the goddess raised her hand.
"Yes miss…?" the teacher said.
"Rosalie, and I think you said 'Welcome to French class, my name is Mrs. Stevenson.'" She replied. Holy crap, she had the voice of an angel too!
"Bein" Madem Stevenson replied. Bein, I knew that, it meant good… I think.
The rest of class went by fast. We went over the basics of French, hello, goodbye, and how to introduce yourself. When the bell rang for lunch I got up and turned to Mike Newton, another kid on the football team, he wasn't as good as my friends and I but he made a good safety.
"Who was she?!" I asked once Rosalie left the room.
"Rosalie Hale? Your buddy, Jasper's, sister, their twins. You didn't know he had a sister?" he said. I shook my head and walked off the lunch.
"Dude, you didn't tell me you had a sister!" I all but shouted at Jasper when I got to our table at lunch.
"Thought you knew, besides you never asked," he chuckled, "Why do you care anyway?" Everyone at the table started laughing.
"Emmett's got a girlfriend!" Edward sang. I glared at him and kicked him under the table. "Dude what the hel… Oh here she comes!" he said.
"Bonjour, mon beau garçon" she said sweetly, looking at me. I stared blankly at her until she sat down next to her brother and hugged him with one arm. I ducked my head down to look at my food.
"Bonjour, je m'appelle Alice," I heard my sister say, she had been in French for a year already. "Ils s'appelle Edward et Emmett" she waved towards Edward and me.
"Bonjour Alice, Edward…" she paused, "Emmett, Je m'appelle Rosalie"
"Hello Rosalie" I heard Edward say. Rosalie mad no noise. I looked up from my food and saw her staring at me.
"Hello Rosalie, excuse me," I said and got up and walked out of the cafeteria.
Damn! Why did I have to be such and idiot! I can't even talk to a girl anymore!
Rosalie's POV
"Sorry 'bout him," Alice said quietly as I stared after him, "He's not usually such a jerk."
"No problem" I told her. I wonder what that was. Does he not like me? I thought Well I have to find out!
Emmett's POV
(After football practice)
"What was with you at lunch today," Edward asked on our way to my car.
"Nothing!" I said, trying to forget the whole morning.
"You like her!" he teased. Jasper chuckled at his side.
"She likes you too Emmett, it's so obvious! She's just not used to being shot down like she was," he said.
"What ever," I said trying to sound like I didn't care but I was secretly hoping they were right. We got in my car and drove off; Edward messed with the radio changing it every few seconds while I drove them home. I dropped them off at their houses and headed home.
(The next day, 2nd period)
I walked into class and sat down in the back corner of the room. Rosalie walked in a minute later. I waved her to the chair next to me. She gave me a look that looked confused and a little mad but sat down anyway. I opened my mouth to say something but before I could get anything out our teacher walked in and turned off the lights.
"Today we are watching a introduction movie about French." She said popping the movie in and it started. I ripped out a piece of paper from my notebook and wrote on it.
Sorry 'bout yesterday. I'm not always such a jerk. Friends?
Rosalie's POV
Sorry 'bout yesterday. I'm not always such a jerk. Friends?
What does he mean by that?! Friends? What about more than friends! Doesn't he want that?
I wasn't mad, just confused. I'm not used to being treated like that by guys. (And of course we can be friends)
I looked at my words and wish I had the guts to change that last sentence to what I really wanted to say. I slid the note to him. He read it and laughed. I liked the sound of his laughter. He scribbled something down on the paper and slid it back to me.
Being treated like what? A normal girl? Are you sure you Jasper's sister? (I'm glad)
I read what he wrote and laughed. I looked up at him and nodded with a smile on my face. I knew I could be selfish and vain, but it wasn't my entire fault. It was hard not to be when all the guys in your school gave you all the attention you could ever want. If Emmett didn't like that, though, I would happily change… for him.
