Two Is Better Than One

Chapter 1: You're you and I'm me

"Alright class, time for this month's partner project." A collective groan rose from the class. "Don't worry this one will be fun." He assured, while people only groaned louder. "Alright, alright. None of that back sass." He snapped jokingly. Our English teacher Mr. Smith was actually a really nice guy that could also get the students respect. While he prattled on about how much we are going to enjoy this month's partner project, I searched the room for Angela. I found her sitting in the back row. She smiled and we nodded. Angela and I were always partners for class work. Then I got caught staring across the room.

"Why Bella, would you care to repeat what I just announced?"

"U-um, I'm sorry s-sir I was looking around for a partner." I blushed, embarrassed. He just smiled politely with humor in his eyes.

"Which is exactly what I told you not to do." He said softly "I will be picking your partners." He gained another whine of protest from the class. Ignoring the class he proceeded. "Jessica Stanley with Mike Newton, Angela Weber with…" I clenched anxiously onto my seat "…Ben Cheney." Both despair and happiness hit me at once in an odd combination. I was happy that Angela got to do a song with her crush, but now I have no idea who my partner will be. As if on cue my name was called.

"Bella Swan with Edward Cullen."

I inwardly groaned in frustration. Of course! I just had to get Edward-flippin'-Cullen! He was the popular guy. Not to mention the one all of the girls threw themselves at. His good looking friends Emmett and Jasper, both had girlfriends-Rose and Alice- who would happily and willingly beat the crap out of any girl who gave their boyfriends a sideways glance. Especially Rosalie. Don't get me wrong, Edward is very handsome-I'm not blind- he has an unusual bronze hair color that falls over his sparkling green eyes. He had a well built body, not too lanky and not too muscular. I always thought his eyes are his best feature. Speaking of which, his emerald orbs were staring straight at me. I waved awkwardly and he smiled back, showing his pearly white teeth . I ripped my stare off of him and focused on Mr. Smith.

"Go sit next to your partner, I will be assigning you what your topic will be. Life, humor, or romance." The seat next to me was pulled out and Edward sat down.

"Hi, I'm Edward Cullen." He stuck his hand out and gave me a lopsided grin. I was momentarily stunned. And not just because of his beauty, I never expected him to be so polite… and nice. After gaping at him for an embarrassing 10 seconds I recovered and shook his hand while saying, "Bella Swan." Then suddenly Mr. Smith was at our desk.

"Your topic will be romance." He said smiling. You've got to be kidding me! This is going to be embarrassing enough, now we have to perform a mushy romance song too? I sighed quietly. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Edward's concerned eyes watching my face.

"Did you not want romance for a topic?" He asked. "No I didn't, I mean , I love romance songs, it's just that we're going to have to present it in front of the whole class, and well you're you and I'm me."

"And what does that mean exactly?' He asked his brow furrowing.

"You're popular, good looking, and I'm a weird outcast." I explained. He shook his head.

"That doesn't mean anything; we'll make a freaking awesome romance song. Won't we partner?" He held out his fist. I felt my lips twitch up and I knocked my fist against his…

"Right partner."

…Even though I wasn't entirely sure.

After that Mr. Smith gave us the last 5 minutes to get to know our partner.

"So is thre anything I should know about you?" Edward asked. I thought for a moment.

"I love reading, and writing." I said tentatively. Then I wanted to smack myself. Gah! Could I have sounded more like a nerd? Edward didn't seem to notice my frustration because he asked,

"What are your favorite books?" I laughed.

"The last person who asked me that was listening to book titles for twenty minutes." I warned. He smiled and shook his head.

"No, I mean it I really want to know." I sighed but decided to tell him. And just as I had warned I took up almost the whole five minutes listing off books.

"Ah man, only 1 minute left, er, sorry about that." I said sheepishly. He just shook his head again.

"That's okay. Hey, could I get you number so we could make a schedule?"

"Sure" I said handing him my phone. He gave me his. An Iphone. Of course. After programming my number into his we gave eachother's phones back. The bell rang and Mr. Smith excused us all to leave. I smiled and got up and started to leave with my bag. Then I heard Lauren Mallory aka The Bitch talking to Edward.

"Wow Edward, you got paired up with that freak Bella Swan. That sucks." She sneered. I desperatly wished for only one thing. Please don't agree Edward. Don't be like them.

"Yeah it does." I heard him answer. I felt my mouth drop open, and only one thought could process in my brain.

I thought you might be different.

Sorry for the short chapter! But hopefully the chapters will be longer. It was 11 at night when the story idea hit me so yeah. Reviews mean soooo much to me!

Love,
