A/N: Hey everyone! Wow, it's been so long since I've written for fan fiction. Eek, it's been so long since I actually sat down and thought about my writing. I'm ashamed of that. Writing used to be a big part in my life and now it just seems insignificant. I apologize to all you who have had so much faith in me as a writer. I'm now only seeing that time slips away so quickly and if you don't pursue what you dream of from the beginning then soon, the opportunity slips through your grasp. So here's a new story idea for all of you who've had faith in me from the beginning. It's a fun, quirky idea I've had since around "Hey Isabella" time ect. Anyway, I hope you like it.
Yours Truly,
K.
PS. I don't own the characters, just the storyline.
The Geek gets the Guy
"Dude, who's that?" I elbowed Jake as my eyes followed a thin, pale girl across the football field. There was something about her that caught my eye. She wasn't especially extraordinary, but she seemed different from the other girls. Maybe it was the way she held her self, or maybe it was the way she could fool my sister into thinking she was carrying on a conversation with her.
I watched as my younger sister Alice danced by her side her arm looped around the girl's. The girls eyes seemed fixed on Alice as her expression changed as quickly as Alice's arms flailed in the air. She in fact only seemed to speak a few words as Alice filled up most of the conversation.
Jake fixed his eyes on the two girls as he shoved the remaining bit of his third sandwich in his mouth. "dwats uaice's befst ind bellah ditoid.". I smacked him on the back of the head and he swallowed hard draining his water bottle. That boy could eat you out of house and home if you weren't careful.
"I SAID," he exaggerated, "that's Alice's best friend Bella idiot. Sheesh where have you been practically all her life?."
As I looked harder I suddenly realized that this beautiful pale girl was holding a black box at her side and carried the dingy green L.L Bean book bag that Alice's best friend had had ever since I could remember. This was the Bella who'd been awkward when we'd moved here around second grade when Carlisle accepted the position of head doctor at the Forks Hospital. She had braces and glasses and always wore her hair in a messy ponytail. Over the years, Alice had made subtle changed in her appearance but now, wow.
"I know right? She's a stone fox." Jake nudged me wiggling his eyebrows. "And guess who's going to be recreation head at band camp this summer?"
A large smile stretched across his face as I rolled my eyes. "Dude, band geeks all summer? How's that any entertaining?"
A loud laugh escaped from his lips as he trained his eyes on Bella and Alice. "Dude, band geeks are hott." He said with a straight face.
I watched as other kids trailed across the football field each of them carrying cases of various sizes and shapes. At that exact moment, a thin awkward looking girl tripped falling into the person in front of her. Just like that, a domino effect started and soon all of the band kids were trying to pull themselves from the rubble.
"That's hott?" I asked skeptical of his seriousness.
He chuckled softly his eyes following as Bella jogged back to the other kids. She knelt down beside one putting her hand on his shoulder. A small smile played on her lips as her eyes twinkled with amusement. He stood up quickly stretching his arms as he took off down the bleachers. "No," he called back, "but she is and she'll be there for the entire summer." Without looking back, he sprinted off toward my sister and her best friend practically glowing with joy.
Jake's thought process was never that hard to figure out. He was a normal teenaged boy. His thoughts consisted of football, food, and sex. It was obvious now that he'd been watching Bella for some time. It was no wonder why he decided to show up when Alice had a friend over. I thought he had just come to eat our food, obviously I was mistaken. How had I missed the beauty that was Bella Swan. Had it just happened over night? I knew the answer, it hadn't. Bella Swan had been in my life since the second grade and I had only now noticed the beautiful woman she had become.
I stood up slowly stretching my back and turning to grab my bag. A high pitched voice piped in, "Hey Edward!" I turned quickly on my heel almost toppling down the bleachers.
I laid eyes on my current love interest. Tanya Denali, head cheerleader and student body president, had started taking interest in me when as a Junior, I had risen to the position as Football captain. She had a certain reputation around school. She had dated many of the guys on the football team and although she was sometimes called a slag, they talked of her highly.
Tanya Denali had it all. Her strawberry blonde hair fell just below her shoulders cascading around her face. Her body was slightly tanned from the unusually large amount of sun we'd had the past couple of weeks. She had curves in all the right places and smoking legs from all her hours of cheerleading and such. Not only was she gorgeous, she was said to be in good running for class Valedictorian. Beauty and brains, what more could you ask for?
"Well hey there miss Tanya." I spoke as a smile came to my lips. "What brings you up to these bleachers when summer break just officially started," I looked at my watch, "ten minutes ago?"
She rolled her eyes shuffling her feet nervously. "Well, you know. Ben said you'd be up here." She squinted up at the sun. "Beautiful day isn't it?"
"Are you making small talk with me?" I teased her lightly nudging her with my elbow.
"Maybe," She admitted her eyes focusing on the bench behind me.
I stepped up beside her and looked into her eyes. I took her hand and tugged on it urging her to follow me down the bleachers. She followed behind me and when we reached the bottom she fell in step next to me.
"How about you and I celebrate the end of school properly tonight." I had a date planned for us consisting of Dairy Queen and maybe a walk down the La push beach. There was this great little clearing that I always took my first dates. The stars and moon would set the perfect mood if the clouds held back for tonight like the weatherman had predicted.
"Are you asking me on a date?" She asked stopping abruptly. Her head tilted to the side almost analyzing me.
I smiled grinning and twirled her around as if we were dancing to muted music. "I believe I am."
She smiled softly and winked at me. "Pick me up at seven?" she grinned here eyes twinkling with delight.
I nodded. "Seven it is." I said. "See you then."
She turned and quickly kissed me on the cheek before running to meet Jessica Stanley at the edge of the parking lot. "See you then, Edward!" She said happily as she and Jessica happily chatted an almost glow around her.
"Tanya Denali. Niiiice." Jake slapped me on the back almost causing me to piss myself.
"Dude. You scared the crap out of me." I spat out elbowing him in the side.
He easily dodged it moving out of my way. "Dude chill. I just came to ask if I could come over tonight. Alice and Bella are having a scary movie night and Alice invited us if we wanted to come hang with him. So can we?" He asked his eyes looking almost like giant puppy dog eyes.
"How about no." I said walking toward the silver Volvo that was my pride and joy.
"Dude why not?" He asked a hint of disappointment in his voice.
"Because I'm going out with Tanya tonight." I was aggravated that he had even thought it would be okay in the first place. I didn't wanna hang out with my younger sister and her best friend. Cheesy much?
"Okay, well how about I just go over there and chill with them until you get home and then you can watch it with us?" He was relentlessly persistent as always.
"Jake, don't you have something better to do than hang out with my sister and he friend on a Friday night?" I hit the clicker button my car and a high pitched beep sounded signaling that it was unlocked.
Jake straddled his bike and balanced himself with the handle bars. "Come on dude. Please? I'll even bring my own food." He joked kick starting his bike.
I rolled my eyes and let out a sigh. "Fine. I don't care. I don't know when I'll be home though so maybe you'll be done before I return." Jake's face lit up with joy as he backed his bike out of the parking spot. I climbed into my Volvo rolling down the window. "You better bring food loser."
Jake laughed loudly patting his stomach. "Don't you worry about me. I got this covered." He hit the gas and sped toward the road at a speed that only a skilled driver could maneuver at. I hit reverse and slipped through the traffic with Tanya Denali fresh on my mind.
A/N: This chapter was a little rocky. The beginning chapters always are for me for some reason. Anyway… I hope you liked it and tell me if you want me to continue the story. So glad to be working with Fanfiction again. Like I said, it's been awhile since I've written anything other than my name but I think this has potential. I'm still iffy on the title also. So give me some ideas?
Review!
