I don't own any of these characters; it's all Stephanie Meyers.
This is my first story, so bear with me. I hope you guys like it and please do not forget to review! Enjoy!
Chapter 1-Wish Me Luck
Hit Me Baby One More Time….
Ughh, the stupid radio was playing Britney again.
I wake up and turn to the clock, and it reads 7:30. I need to get to school in thirty minutes.
Story of my life.
I shut off the damn alarm clock and quickly get dressed. I get ready as fast as I can and run downstairs. I see my mom sending my dad off to work. I give him a kiss on the cheek and run to the kitchen to put a couple of Pop Tarts in the toaster to find my mother hand me two already toasted Pop Tarts and a mug of steaming hot tea.
"Alice called," my mom tells me interrupting my hot tea and Pop Tart filled haze.
Huh?
"She said she called your phone twice and that after the second time she figured the grouch was still sleeping…."
"I'm not a grouch." I interrupt a little offended, to which my mother gives me a look that means that I totally am.
Okay, so I admit it. Maybe I have a little bit of trouble getting up in the morning, I mean who doesn't?
Alice, that's who.
"Anyways," my mother continues, "Alice asked me to inform you that she lost her driving privileges again…"
"Extremely high balance on her American Express?" I ask, already knowing the answer.
"Yup."
"So how are we getting to school?" I ask a bit annoyed.
I mean we could have taken my car, if it wasn't at Hale's Garage (our go-to mechanic) getting fixed for the umpteenth time. The cost that I've paid this past year fixing my truck, I could have probably bought a completely new car, but what can I say? I love my baby too much. But Alice and I carpool to school everyday and since my truck was not in a useable condition, she would drive us. However, now it seems we both have to walk to school. If only my best friend didn't have a shopping addiction. It is something I've brought up to her countless times, but she refuses to listen.
Did I mention she's stubborn?
I guess my mom could take me to school even though it's her day off from the museum (my mom's a curator). I figure we'd have to go pick up Alice unless one of her parents can drive her; that is of course if Mr. Cullen (or Carlisle as he's asked me to call him) is even home from the hospital from the night before or if even Esme Cullen, my mother's best friend, hadn't already left for work. Esme is a Pre-School teacher. I mean on crazy days like these Emmett, my insane older brother, usually drives me, but he's at school.
Ugh we're so going to be late and I've been late enough considering I'm such a sleep grouch.
"Bella!" My mother interrupts my inner rant. "Bella dear, Alice told me that Edward is back home today, so he'll drop both of you off. I thought you knew he was back, Bella?" She questions me with a little glint in her eye.
"Edward?" I ask,to make sure.
"Yes, Edward. I am pretty sure you remember him Bella." My mother so eloquently tells me with a smirk.
"Yup. Yeah. Um. Okay, I'll wait outside." I rush to gather my things and wait on the porch as my mother yells at me to not forget my coat.
I totally forgot Edward was coming back today, well technically last night I guess. What am I going to do? I've had the biggest crush on this man for ages and I'm pretty pathetic to say I still do. I do a lot.
Edward Cullen, son of Dr. Carlisle and Esme Cullen, is my best friend's older brother (by 2 years) and I'm kind-of insanely in love with him. I have known him my whole life considering I've known Alice since forever and I've always had a little thing for him.
I thank my awful mathematics skills for bringing him and me closer together. He was my math tutor. It was during one of our "tackle math" sessions in 9th grade that I knew I had fallen in love with a disgustingly handsome high school junior. I remember it very well actually. I got this really hard question right and he was just so happy for me, I died.
Since then my love for Edward Cullen has only grown. He really is a nice guy and not to mention model-worthy gorgeous. All the girls in high school had a crush on him, but he didn't have time to date, considering he was kind of a genius. He took school pretty seriously. He was kind of a hot nerd, if you know what I mean. He reminds me of Clark Kent. Nevertheless, the nerd factor only added to his appeal. Trust me, I would know.
Since Edward Cullen is super amazing, he wants to follow in the footsteps of his father and become a doctor. He got accepted to many schools across the country including Harvard and some other prestigious schools in New York, however, kind hearted Edward decided to stay close to home (why would someone would want to stay close to Forks, I'd never know) and decided to go to the University of Washington in Seattle, where Emmett also resides. Emmett does actually know Edward pretty well and they hang out sometimes at school and whenever Emmet comes home he always teases me endlessly about Edward, even though I haven't told a soul about my feelings for him.
Not even Alice.
He's back in town though, and why may you ask? I'll tell you why.
Super genius Edward has been offered an amazing internship at Forks General, where Carlisle is chief of staff. Carlisle had no say in Edward being chosen for the internship as Alice so desperately pointed out when she told me how proud she was of her big brother. In this internship Edward would be working under all kinds of doctors as a college sophmore. 300 applicants apply and only 10 are accepted.
Impressive, huh?
According to Alice, since Edward is off from school for a while and the hospital is much more closer to the Cullen abode, he's decided to come back home, which he seems to be pretty excited about, as Alice tells it. He's really stoked to work under his father, whom he respects highly as a doctor. How cute is that?
Did I mention he was valedictorian? Yes, he was and I was there with my parents, Emmett, and all the Cullen's. His speech was so heart-warming it got all of us a little teary, Emmett and me included. Yea, I know! I remember giving him a big congratulatory hug after to which he replied, "Thanks Bella," with his heart-stopping smile.
Man, I remember that hug and I remember it was a really good one. It was so tight and warm and I could feel….
Beep!
Oh, they're here…he's here. Here I go, wish me luck.
I know, I know! It's a horrible place to stop. I just hope you guys like it and If I get enough feedback, I'll continue. I have such good ideas for this story, if only you guys can condone my horrible writing skills. Please Review! :D
-latido
btw: I already have chapter two written, so review!
This is a little updated author's note: I re-read chapter one and I must say I hate it. I write like a 3 year old, so I made some changes. So if you're reading these changes have been mad. I must say chapter 2 is way better, so keep up hope and keep reading!
