Unrequited Love
I don't own Twilight, just this story.
Bella's POV
I turned the shower on and waited for the water to be warm enough and removed my sweat pants and top and lifted my foot into the shower. I smiled as the warm water touched my toes and stepped fully under the water. I washed my hair with my strawberry shampoo and conditoner and then turned the shower off and wrapped myself up in a white fluffy towel. I walked back into my room considering what to wear, I wasn't going anywhere special, it was 7:45 in the morning and I was off to school within half an hour. I pulled out a pair of my favourite jeans from the pile on the shelf in my wardrobe and chose and dark blue blouse and a white cami top to go underneath. I got dressed and dried my hair, leaving it hanging loose around my shoulders as I would normally do. I picked my Converse trainers up from the floor and tugged them on and grabbed my bag. I wandered downstairs and grabbed a cereal bar from the cupboard and got myself a quick glass of water. I left the house and walked over to my truck and climbed in. As I set off for school I knew I was in for another boring uneventful day.
Edward's POV
I got out of bed and headed for the shower. It was 7:30 in the morning and I was still half asleep but knew I had to get up for my first day at a new school. Last week I moved to Forks with my family because my dad had taken up a new position at the local hospital. I wasn't particularly happy about the upheaval and leaving behind my friends at my old school, I was well liked there, but I couldn't be too unhappy, this is what my dad wanted, a position as the head cardio-thoracic surgeon, it was his dream. Once I finished in the shower and dried myself off, I pulled on a pair of my favourite dark blue jeans and grabbed a white Abercrombie and Fitch t-shirt and pulled it over my head, it was the type that hugged closely to my chest. I grabbed my trainers and bag and headed downstairs to where my brother and sister where waiting for me. "Morning Edward" my sister greeted me with a big smile etched across her face. She was more excited about starting at the new school than I or my brother was. "Hey Alice" I replied "Hey Emmett". My brother Emmett was sitting at the breakfast looked quite annoyed. He was the only one out of us three to kick up a fuss over leaving LA. When my parents first told us that we were moving, Emmett was beyond annoyed. He had to leave behind his friends and girlfriend of two years, Amanda. "Edward" he replied in a sullen voice. "Oh I won't bother with him Edward, I can barely get more than three words out of him" Alice said. "Shut it" Emmett replied. I looked at both of them and shook my head. I wasn't going to get involved. I picked my keys off the counter "We'd better get a move on" I told them and we headed out off the house and walked over to my car, a silver Volvo C30. We got in and we headed off to the school.
When we arrived I parked my car in a space, "We better go to the reception and let them know we are here" Alice said. "Yep" I replied and realised Emmett had said nothing and had already gotten out of the car. I got the car and locked and turned to walk towards the entrance of the school. I stopped dead in my tracks. Across the car park stood the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. She had long brunette hair with hints of red shimmering in the sun. An almost perfect face, her upper lip was slightly bigger than the bottom one, she had perfectly straight nose. I couldn't see her eyes as she was looking at her iPod but I expected them to be beautiful as well. She had a slim body with toned muscles and was wearing a dark blue blouse which set of the creaminess complexion of her face. She was standing next to her friends, but they paled in comparison to this girl. Yet one looked up and saw me staring and turned to the beautiful girl ahead of me and asked her a question.
Bella's POV
"Who's that?" Angela voice came. I looked up from my iPod and looked across the car park to see a boy staring at me. "No idea" I replied, I had never seen him before. He was nice looking, with short messy hair which seemed like a kind of bronze colour. I looked his eyes; they were strong green colour, almost like emeralds. Then I noticed he was staring at me, I felt a blush rise to my cheeks and looked away. "We'd better get a move on to class" I said to Angela. We both headed off towards our first class, I had biology and Angela had maths. "See you at lunch I said to her before walking down the corridor to my class, "Yea sure, save me a seat" She replied. I headed toward the lab and walked in and took my seat in the middle. "Hey Bella" I turned round to reply, "Hey Mike" He smiled back at me. "How was your weekend? Get up to anything interesting" Small talk, I thought to myself, great what fun. "Not much, went shopping with Angela and Jessica, got that assignment done for English." "Sounds very cool" I only replied with a somewhat confused smile not entirely sure how anyone would consider saying that was very cool. "So Bella, I was wondering do you wanna go out on Friday, to catch a movie" Ah here we go, Mike asking me out again, I've lost count of the times he has asked. "I'm sorry Mike; I'm having a girl's night." I lied; I think I might have used that excuse twice now. "Okay cool, cool, no worries." He replied. I turned round to face the front of the class then and the teacher came in and sat on the edge of his desk. "Okay class, let's see who's here" He started calling out the usual names, "Newton?" "Here", "Stanley?" "Here" "Swan?" "Here" I answered" "Oh and Cullen?" Cullen? I've never heard that name before; perhaps it was one of those new kids I saw this morning. "Here Sir" A voice replied, I looked up and saw the guy who was staring at me earlier walk in to the room. "Just in time Edward, welcome to Biology, if you take a seat next to Miss Swan and then we will get started on today's work." Edward walked over to me and took the empty seat next to me on my right and took his notebook out. "Hey" His voice came out somewhat velvet like, strange, I thought to myself. "Hey, I'm Isabella, but call me Bella" I replied.
Edward's POV
"Sure thing" I replied. I couldn't believe my luck, being able to sit next to this beautiful girl so soon. "Okay class I'd like you to work together on the project I told you about last week in pairs please, Bella can you explain to Edward what we are doing." "Yea okay" she replied. She turned to face me "Well the project we are doing is on plants and we just have to write what type of plant they are, where they first originated from and what sort of conditions they need to grow in, like soil type and sunlight and stuff" I smiled at the ending of her sentence. "And stuff?" I asked her. "Umm yea, stuff, you know umm how often they need umm watering." I laughed a little at her reply. "Sounds fun" I said. "Yea something like that" She responsed and got her notebook out of her bag and pulled out the pictures of the plants we need to work on. "So you're new here?" She asked, either this was small talk or she was interested in me.
