Bellas POV:
Nobody is staring at me, nobody is staring at me. I kept telling myself this, repeating it over and over in my head. I entered my first class this morning and walked to a free seat in the last row. Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked up and saw one of the most popular guys from the seniors. His name is Edward, and he's absolutely stunning handsome. I wondered what he wanted 'uhm, what… do you, uhm…want' I stuttered and turned red immediately. 'This is my seat.' he said. Oh well, of course it has to be something like this, I mean, just look at me. I'm just a nerd, loving books, unpopular even after two years on this school, and no one ever wants anything from me. I felt so embarrassed that I thought he would just want to talk to me, how can I be so stupid? 'Oh yes of course.' I said and got up to find another place to sit. He sat down, and I bet he laughed with his friend about me. I felt so good when I finally heard the bell ring, now two boring hours of math.
Two hours later it was finally time for lunch break, I went to my usual seat in a corner in the cafeteria. And there I saw him again, Edward Cullen, of course with all of his friends. I don't know why he was so attractive to me these last few days, I never saw more in him than a popular high school kid. Until today I didn't even know that he knows that I exist, I bet he didn't even know my name and that he already forgot me. Lunch break was one of the best things about an entire school day, luckily I didn't have to sit on my own anymore, and I found some people who I can talk to. One of them is my best friend, Eric. I'm glad I found him. 'Hey, Bella, what are you staring at?' Eric yelled at me. 'Oh, is it really so obvious?' I know I can't lie to him, I am a really bad liar and everybody knows immediately so I just told him the truth. 'Actually, yes. You look like you're dreaming about something you really want.' He said giggling. 'I was just looking at this guy, Edward Cullen.' I told him embarrassed.'So you like him Bells?' he asked me with a smirk. 'No, I mean, I don't know him well enough. I didn't even talk to him much yet. Today was the first day I said one sentence to him. It was embarrassing, so what if I liked him? It wouldn't even matter at all' Always when I get nervous about something, I talk too much. I turned red and stared at my hands. 'Calm down Bells. It's okay, I was just kidding. But, when you like him, why don't you go and talk to him?'I didn't want to admit myself, but I don't know how it happened, I guess I really started to like him.
After school was over, I went to the school library. I thought I was alone, but then I heard someone clearing his throat behind me. I turned around and his beautiful face hit me. 'You are Bella Swan, right?' he asked with a crooked smile. 'Uhm, yes. You're right, why?' Oh my god, his voice, his face, this smile. He was just too handsome to be true. 'I was just wondering. You sat on my place in English class today morning.' Oh please not this thing again, I thought. 'Oh yes, I am sorry about this' somehow I didn't have to stutter anymore. Maybe it was because we were completely alone now. 'No, no, no, it's okay. I never saw you on this school before, are you new here?' Oh my god, why the hell is he even talking to me? I am a nobody. I just really don't get it. 'No, actually I am on this school since two years now. I'm just not very popular so maybe that's the reason why you never saw me.' Why am I telling him this now? 'Oh well, I am sorry, I was wrong then. Sorry, I have to go now. See you tomorrow' He suddenly just walked away. I wondered if I've done something wrong or if he was just a creepy one. A little bit disappointed I made my way to my car to drive home. I just couldn't get over how sad his face looked when he turned away to go. Maybe it's just my imagination, I don't know. I just wished I could've talked to him more.
Edwards POV:
I couldn't think about anything, or better anybody else than Bella Swan today. The way she stuttered and blushed because I talked to her, it was just too sweet. I was really happy that I met her after school in the library. I really wanted to talk to her, preferable alone. She was just so beautiful. Not this 'cheerleader girl' beautiful, but she was really damn beautiful and I bet she doesn't know it yet. She's just really shy and clumsy, like someone you just need to save from herself. I told her that I never saw her before today morning in school. But this was completely wrong, I saw her many times already, I have to admit that I even stared at her in the classes we had together. My friends thought I had some problems or something, but I didn't care and I still don't. Bella is just someone really special. I hope I'll get another chance to talk to her again soon. And next time I told myself I won't make a completely fool of myself and be honest with her, she just doesn't deserve being lied at. Maybe she didn't see how stupid I felt that moment, maybe she's like everybody else, thinking I'm just the perfect guy, but I am not, and I feel as stupid as everyone else in their high school time.
I was sitting in my car, on my way home while I thought about today. Even when I thought about something completely different, Bella somehow ALWAYS pops in my head. One thing, I died to know is, if she feels the same way back. I mean, it's really weird that I already think that way because I barely talked to her, but she does some things to my stomach, no women have ever done before. I finally reached my house and tried to think about something else than her. I need, at least, keep my mind distracted while my parents are with me.
'Hey mum, hey dad!' I screamed when I closed the door behind me. I could hear my mum working in the kitchen. I walked to her and gave her a hug. 'Hey honey, how was your day?' she asked with a smile. 'It was okay, just a normal school day' I responded and tried to get out of this conversation soon, I really needed to talk to my best friend about the thing with Bella. 'Mum? I need to do a lot of school work tonight, so you don't mind when I go to my room, or?' I asked her. I knew that she likes when I am around. My big sister doesn't live at home anymore and she got used to having a lot of kids around her because she's from a big family, so she doesn't like it being alone so much. I hoped it was okay for her. 'Yes, of course Edward.' She said with that typical smile, she always has when she sees her family. I thanked her and went upstairs. As soon as I got into my room, I took my phone and wrote my best friend, Emmet, a message 'Hey Em. I need to talk to you. It's important!' I pressed the send button and waited. I knew he's going to answer fast, he always does, especially when I write it's important. Emmet is really a good best friend, I know him since I'm a baby and we went through all together. He was the only one of my friends who didn't think I was stupid when I stared at Bella so much. I got torn out of my thoughts by the vibrating of my phone. I picked it up and saw Emmet was calling. 'Hey Emmet' I said after I picked up. 'Hey Edward, tell me, anything happened? Why you need a talk? You want to meet bro?' he replied kind of worried. 'No, no, no, calm down Em! It's all okay so far, it's just, you know, Bella again…' I told him nervous. 'Uh, uh, Bella girl again?' I can tell he smiled while saying this by his voice. 'Uhm, yes. I met her in the library today after school. I just don't know what to do anymore. You know I never ever had a girlfriend so I just have no idea how this stuff works. Everyone just thinks I slept with the entire cheerleader team, but I am not that kind of boy. You need to help me, please!' oh my god, I felt so stupid after I let all this out! 'Of course I do! You know, I am your oldest friend! Sure I help you. We talk about all tomorrow in school okay? Alice Just came here, I need to go now. You'll do fine, just don't worry! Bye Ed!' 'Bye Em' I responded and hung up.
I really hoped he was true, by telling me that I'll do fine. I just don't really care about myself, but I DO care about Bella. I really hope I get another chance tomorrow, a chance to talk to her, or at least, to say hi to her in the morning. It was already late so I decided to go to bed and try to get some sleep. I really need a break from all this worrying I had today.
