Hey guys! Right, I've written one fanfic before, some of you may have read it. 'one person can change anything' I'm still continuing with that, but it's nearly come to an end now, and i had this idea for a new story, so thought I'd start it now. So anywayyy, I hope you enjoy it!
Bella pov
I grimaced as I heard the bell ding, indicating another customer had entered the store. I looked up from the magazine I was staring at and watched as a group of teenagers walked through the door and sat down at a table. I glanced around the otherwise empty coffee shop before I approached their table, dragging my heels slightly. Seriously, who needed coffee at 11 o clock at night? I reached their table and stood there awkwardly for a moment as they continued to chatter excitedly, not noticing me stood there. I eventually cleared my throat noisily to get their attention and as I did so I looked at them probaperly for the first time. There were two girls and three guys, all around my age and all strangely beautiful. I caught the eye of easily the most beautiful boy for a moment, he had the most fascinating eyes, bright green and they seemed to shimmer in the light. I looked away quickly, flipping over a page in my notepad.
"What can I get you guys?" I asked unenthusiastically. I'd only been working here a week but I was already bored with it. I heard someone call my name and spun around to see Mike, the managers son, looking at my disapprovingly.
"What have we said?" I shrugged, annoyed with being spoken to like a 5 year old, "About how you speak to the customers....." He trailed of and I rolled my eyes.
"You are not my boss Mike. If your mom tells me to do something I will, not you." I told him. He half nodded before walking back behind the counter embarrassedly. I heard somebody snicker from behind me and saw one of the boys laughing.
"You just told Mike Newton." One boy said, he was really muscley, like, huge, and he had short black curly hair. When he grinned at me dimples formed in his cheeks and before I had the chance to reply he had held his hand up for a high five. I clumsily slapped my hand against his just so he'd take his hand away.
"So, yeah, what can I get you?" I asked again.
"4 lattes, 1 glass of water and a hot chocolate for me." I tiny girl told me happily, smiling at me as she did so. She had short black spiky hair and her face had the most perfect petit features, she kind of reminded me of a pixie. I scrawled down their order quickly and nodded before I headed into the kitchen to make their drinks.
Moments later I walked carefully towards their table clutching a tray in my hands, doing my best to not spill any liquid from their cups. As I placed the drinks on the table in front of them I headed back to the counter and began to read my magazine again. The headline screamed at me "Robert Patinson + Kristen Steward caught in steamy embrace!" But before I had the chance to start reading the article my boss appeared in front of me, telling me i could go for tonight. So I swapped my apron for my jacket and braced myself for the cold outside. I stood outside of the small cafe and grabbed my packet of cigarettes from my pocket and lit one quickly. I brought it to my lips and took a long drag before I exhaled the smoke, staring into the pitch black. I heard the door open and close but didn't turn to see who it was, I simply brought the cigarette back to my lips and took another long drag, feeling marginally better after my shitty day.
"Excuse me, do you have a light?" A silky voice asked from the darkness.
I jumped as I turned to face the gorgeous boy from inside. He ran his hands threw his messy bronze hair awkwardly as my heart returned to a normal rate. I threw my lighter towards him silently and he caught it effortlessly, lighting his own.
"Sorry if I scared you," he said, I didn't reply. "I'm Edward."
"Hi." I replied quickly, why was he telling me this? I honestly didn't care what his name was, even if he was beautiful.
"That's your cue to tell me your name."
"Hmm," I pretended to think about if momentarily before continuing, "Nah, I'd rather you didn't know my name." I finished, sort of pissed.
To my surprise he chuckled. I wasn't meant to be funny, it was meant to make him go away.
"Any reason why?" He asked.
"Nope." I replied quickly. He chuckled again but didn't push the matter and continued to smoke.
A few minutes later his friends came out of the shop and called him. He threw his butt on the floor and turned towards me to speak again.
"Hey, it was nice speaking to you." He said with a smirk, I'd only spoken to him for a second but I'd already made my mind up about him. He was a jerk, I don't know why I thought that, but I just knew he was. "Still don't want to tell me your name?" He asked, a bit hopeful.
"Nope." I answered the same as I had before. He laughed again before he replied.
"Don't worry, I'll find out soon enough." He began to walk towards the car park.
"Why're you so sure of yourself?" I half shouted to him and he was now a good few metres away from me. I heard him laugh again and he once again seemed to think I was joking, I wasn't, he was actually starting to get on my nerves.
"I just will." He replied smugly. He was pretty far away but I was pretty sure I saw him wink at me. Eugh, how unattractive. He met with his friends then and the big guy that high fived he earlier nudged him in the side and the other guy began talking to him. They weren't far enough that I couldn't hear their conversation though.
"Dude, what's with you and the hot chick?"
"Nothing, yet." Edward replied back surly.
"Edward, seriously. You are not going to fuck her and never see her again." A female's voice chipped in sternly.
"And why not?" He asked smugly.
"Because for 1, she doesn't seem interested in you at all,"
"Yet," I heard him interrupt cockily. But the girl continued like she hadn't heard him.
"And two, she actually seems nice!" I recognised the girl's voice now, it was the pixie like girl from inside.
"Oh, so you just didn't mind me sleeping around before because the girls weren't 'nice'?" He asked mockingly. Was this guy ever serious?
"Well they weren't nice in the way Alice is talking about," I heard an unfamiliar male voice snicker, and the sound of hands clapping together. A girl made a noise that sounded like fake retching. I decided I didn't want to hear anymore of this conversation so flicked what was left of my cigarette to the ground and then walked towards my truck.
When I arrived home I silently headed upstairs and got cleaned up, getting changed from my work clothes into my pyjamas and taking my make up off before climbing into bed.
As I lay there it dawned on me that Edward still had my lighter and I silently cursed, making a mental note that I'd have to go to the store before school tomorrow. Well at least that was an excuse to be late for my first day at forks high. I really wasn't looking forward to it. The only person I knew that went there was Mike, and we didn't exactly get along perfectly. Yeah, tomorrow was not going to be fun.
Right guys! I really hoped you liked this first chapter, more will we explain about why Bella's here in more chapters, but you'll only get that if you review ;) You know what to do guys!
