Chapter 1: Bella
I walked down the small, noisy hallways of Forks High School gossiping with my friends. I hated gossiping but that's the only thing they'll listen too. My friends fit the cheerleader stereotype perfectly. Sometimes, I had to wonder if I really should be a cheerleader. I don't wear make-up, I hate gossiping, I'm very smart, and I'm not peppy and hyper non-stop 24/7. Plus, I'm clumsy. I'm constantly tripping or hurting myself somehow. Thankfully, it's never bad enough to keep me from cheering.
"Hello, Earth to Bella, is anyone there," the co-captain of our team, Rosalie, asked me laughing the whole time.
"What? Oh sorry Rose, I'm just out of it today, you know how I get sometimes," I replied giggling along with her, "What did you say before that?"
"We were just discussing the super sexy addition to Forks High's tiny population," little Alice said loudly, laughing at the end.
"Oh, and who's that," I asked genuinely interested. You know that if Alice and Rose both consider the same boy hot then he really is. They have completely different tastes and if a boy satisfies both of them well….
"Edward Cullen, of course," Tanya said, "He's in my English class, and he is so into me." I internally rolled my eyes. Tanya thinks that every boy in the school is in love with her and if that makes her happy then I won't burst her bubble.
"Hm, I haven't met him yet," I said.
"Well you will at lunch and trust me you'll know him right away," Jessica said sounding very impressed by him.
"OMG, has everyone but me seen this boy," I said fully slipping into cheerleader mode. I flipped my hair over my shoulder and looked at them. Yeah, I know, at that moment I fit right into the stereotype made especially for cheerleaders. It's called acting, something that many people lack skills in.
"Pretty much, yeah, you know, since you've been so out of it," Lauren said. I glared at her. I have never liked her, she hated me from the start and is about as fake as you can get. She's brave to talk to me like that when I'm in cheerleader mode.
"Oh really Lauren," I said icily, "well then, we'll see who's being smart later." Rose and Alice looked scared. They know what happened last time someone tried to get smart with me. I don't like gossiping but I know a lot of the stuff that goes on here and I have no problem using that information when I have too. I gave Lauren one more glare, then turned around and stalked off to trig. I sat down in a random desk right before the bell rang. I looked to see who I was sitting next to and groaned. Great, I have to sit next to Mike, the lovesick puppy, ugh. That would have annoyed me on a good day, but today… he better not talk to me or I will end up making a huge scene.
"Hey, Bella," Mike said flirtatiously. Why me? Why today? Why?
"What Mike," I asked exasperatedly.
"Did something happen? Are you upset," he asked. Yeah, he's definitely a lovesick puppy.
"No, Mike. Nothing happened," I said sarcastically. He gave up after that and went back to struggling with the problems on the board. I don't see how people have so much trouble with this stuff. It's really easy. I finished the problems on the board and started doodling in my notebook until the bell rang. I was disturbed to see that I had drawn a pair of eyes staring at me. I closed the notebook, put it into my book sack, and walked out of the door. I found Rose and Alice and we walked to the Cafeteria together for lunch. I grabbed something to drink and went sit.
"Aren't you hungry," I heard a voice like velvet ask behind me. I turned around to see the most gorgeous boy ever standing behind me. He had bronze hair, brilliant emerald eyes, and he was smiling a crooked smile. He was pretty tall, with muscles. Not the kind of muscles a body builder had, but they were still there. He looked at me curiously and I could see some emotion that I couldn't place behind his eyes. It disappeared before I could figure out what it was. After about a minute, I realized I was staring at him like an idiot.
"No," I stammered, "Have we met before?"
"I doubt it, I just moved here," He said smoothly.
"Oh, so you're the boy everyone's talking about," I said lightly.
"Probably so," he laughed.
"Why don't you sit with me today," I offered. Hey, the boy is hot and I have as good a chance as anyone at getting him.
"Sure," he said sitting down. Rose and Alice saw us and went sit with Jessica and the rest of the cheerleaders. Edward looked at my empty plate curiously again. I sighed and told him that I was just aggravated and that I had lost my appetite.
"Why were you mad," he asked. I hesitated and he said, "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." I didn't want to answer but he dazzled me with his eyes.
"Bella," he whispered, "you can tell me anything. Trust me." Those two words were the start of the biggest lesson I would ever learn.
Hey everybody, I know that I should be working on Carlisle's Decision but this idea came to me last night when I was half asleep and I just had to write it. I started it around 12:30 this morning and kept working on it until about 2 or 3. I personally love this story, mostly because I know what's going to happen (hehe :)). So do you like it? Hate it? Should chapters be longer? Shorter? Any mistakes review and tell me I love your feedback and I try to listen to what you say. Oh yea and this story says BxE??? in the summary because they might be together and they might not, that information is for me to know and you to find out....eventually. This story is going to be very OOC as you will soon find out and the chapters will get longer trust me. This one was just to get the ball rolling (that's an old saying lol) and they will get better so DO NOT STOP AT THIS CHAPTER PLEASE!!!! My stories always suck until I get into them so this will get much better. Now, hit that little green button down there and REVIEW!!!!! Thanks :D
