Chapter one: Bella's POV
I sighed as I took a step out into the crisp air. Not because of my increasingly growing hatred for dreadful weather but because today was Tuesday. And Tuesday is the day I have Biology with Emmett. He's the hottest guy in our year and it takes my breath away just to think about him, never mind actually sitting mere inches away from him.
It helps if I think about him in the morning, before Jasper picks me up; he hates the guy. But then again, so do all of the other boys in our year. Maybe it's just because he intimidates them, I don't know. I don't see what wrong with him. He's perfect! I can't believe that-
My thoughts we interrupted by a loud honking outside. That would be him. I glanced up to see him waiting impatiently in his- wait, that's not his car? I pulled a puzzled face towards Jasper in the silver Volvo. A face emerged from behind Jasper, I didn't recognize him. He had reddish-brown hair, green eyes and a smashing jawline. It then occurred to me that this must be Edward, Jasper's new friend. He'd been talking about him quite a bit recently. I think he's new to the school - maybe this was his first day?
Edward gazed at me, bewildered. I concluding the staring contest and grabbed my rucksack and swung it gracefully over my shoulder. I cautiously made my way to the car, avoiding the obstacles of the many frozen puddles. I opened the back car door and ducked my head to get in. I sat in the seat directly behind Edward and placed my bag on the floor. Jasper turned his head to face me and a grin spread across his face. I smiled back idiotically.
"Good morning", I beamed sarcastically.
"Good morning indeed!", Jasper responded, just as enthusiastically. "Edward, this is my best friend Bella", he gestured my way.
Edward turned around, avoiding eye contact and mumbled a sweet, "Hi".
I reddened and responded with a genial "Hey".
Jasper broke the awkward silence, "Well alrighty then", he grinned. Edward turned back around and I frowned in disappointment. "First day bro!", he said diligently. Edward chuckled softly and replied,
"Yep", as he started up the car. The car started with a peaceful hum, so quiet, I could barely hear it. The lights on the various buttons lit up a cool white color. I peered over to see more. The gear lever was perfectly assembled. The stitching on the leather oh-so superbly neat. This car must have cost him a fortune. It smelt new. Maybe his parents bought him it? There's no way he could have afforded this dashing magnificence on his own.
I looked out the window as the rain came down heavily against the road's surface. I felt nothing but sweet tranquility as the road move swiftly underneath us and the car glided across the concrete. Before I knew it, we were here. I didn't want to get out; this car was so astonishingly beautiful and quiet.
"Righty-ho, I've gotta go to Math," Jasper glanced over to Edward, "what do you have first lesson?" Edward took his bag from in front of Jasper and rummaged around for a while, looking for his schedule. He eventually found it,
"Aha! Okay," he peered closely at the piece of paper and ran his finger over the black ink, finding the right day, "Biology." he concluded.
My heart raced as the thought of Emmett returned. Jasper turned to me, knowing that I, too, had Biology and was psyched to see Emmett. He rolled his eyes but then something changed and I practically saw the light bulb appear above his head.
"Bella has Biology as well, you can go with her," Jasper smiled mischievously. Edward gazed at me, unsure.
"Of course," I said, clueless to what Jasper was up to. Edward's face lit up and he got out of the car. I mimicked his actions and thanked him for the ride. I joined him and we said out goodbyes to Jasper.
He turned to me sheepishly and I pointed ahead of me, "Biology's this way"
"Right"
I smiled at him warmly and gestured for him to go before him. Edward seemed like a nice guy, it was weird seeing someone so... beautiful, so reserved at the same time.
"Who's our teacher?" Edward asked,
"Mr Banner," I replied, "he's nice, don't worry"
"I wasn't" he claimed confidently,
"Of course not," I chuckled and nudged him playfully.
"Hey," he nudged me back. I looked up at him, giggled and shoved him as hard as I could. He stumbled backwards and I grabbed his arm to stop him from falling and pulled him close to me. I could feel his breath against my head. We stayed that way for a moment,
"Be careful," I snickered quietly, "wouldn't want to make a fool of yourself on the first day" I joked. He laughed,
"Not very strong, are you?", he retorted.
I grinned and pushed him away, "we're here" I announced.
"Right, uh, I don't really know anyone," he continued, "could I sit next to you maybe?" he asked hesitantly.
"Um, okay" I agreed, frustrated that I wouldn't be able to sit next to Emmett. My brows furrowed, I couldn't say no, it was his first day.
I entered the classroom and Emmett called me over straight away, "Hey Bella! Get over here!"
I peered over to Edward, apprehensive. I could see the happiness drain out of his eyes but his smile stayed.
"I'm sorry," I apologized, looking down.
"That's okay," he uttered, "thanks for helping me." he walked to the back of the class and sat by himself. I looked at him one last time and then went over to Emmett.
