Chapter 1
Bpov
It was the first day of a new year at school, I couldn't wait to go, being home with Charlie for a whole summer hurt and not just mentally.
I pulled on a top and a pair of leggings and my DR Martins and looked myself over in the mirror, god Charlie was right I was fat. I mean yeah I'm like a size 6 but you know what everyone is saying right now that a size 6 is the new size 12.
I lifted up my top and pinched the little fat on my stomach; I knew everything he was telling me was true; no one good is ever going to want me.
I picked up my school bag and went down stairs to find Charlie already down in the kitchen looking mad.
"Where the Fuck is my breakfast, you peace of shit" he grabbed my arms and squeezed until I yelped out and I know what I get when I yelp out but I couldn't help it. Just as a closed my eyes I felt the impact of his palm against my face and it hurt so bad I just wanted to cry but I had to be brave. He knocked me down to the flood and told me to look up at him which I did.
"I'm starting to wonder why I still keep you around you good for nothing lazy, now get out of my sight and I expect dinner to be on the table at six sharp or you won't have food for a week got it" I nod and scrabble to my feet grabbing my bag and making a bee line for the door.
I checked my watch it was 6.30am and school started at 8.00am so it gives me an hour and a half to walk 2 miles. Usually Charlie takes me to school because he has to keep up the good cop routine being the chief police and all, but today with him being mad I would never ask for a lift but hey walking to and from school today might burn a good couple of calories.
On my walk I thought about was the new English teacher was going to be like, hot, young, old and I complete dick. Some of the girls in my year said they seen him when he can for an interview and they said he was completely to die for but had a baby with him, but It was not like anyone was going to bed him right he's a teacher.
I wasn't far from school now but my face her like a mother, I rubbed it a little hoping it wouldn't come out in a bruise because I really didn't want to make up lies because they were really hard to keep track of and you will get caught out at some point.
I was just around the corner from school and I heard the buzzer go off, I ran I right in to the school building to where I had English, I walked in and jogged in and I was the last one there so I found an empty seat in the back and went and sat down.
I looked at the front of the class aware that the teachers green eyes were staring at me, I hope to god that it was because I was late not the maybe bruise on my cheek.
He walked over to the old computer and started to call the register.
"Isabella" my name rolled of his tongue.
"Um sir can you call me Bella please I truly hate Isabella" yeah I was such a suck up.
"Of course Bella" I smiled he seemed like a cool guy.
"Ok class so enough with the boring stuff, so I'm Mr Cullen but I prefer Edward because we are all equals right"? Everyone nodded including me and Jessica Stanley went as far as a giggle. "so I was sat where your sitting because when I was your age this was my English class room but hopefully I won't be a boring fart like my old teacher" even I had to admit this guy was funny.
"Right so for today's lesson I would like you to listen to a song called I'm yours by Jason Mraz it's one of my favourites, I want you to really listen to the lyrics and wright a page on how he was feeling when he was writing the song and what message was he trying to get across" . All the class seemed to be happy about this, it was something different I guess. Edward came around with jot books and told us to put are names on them.
Well, you dawned on me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool dawn run outI'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn To win some or learn some
But I won't hesitate
No more, no more
It cannot wait,
I'm yours
Well, open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love, love, love, love
Listen to the music of the moment, people dance and sing, we're just one big family And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved, loved
So I won't hesitate
No more, no more.
It cannot wait,
I'm sure.
There's no need to complicate,
Our time is short.
This is our fate,
I'm yours.
Do you want to come on, scootch on over closer, dear
And I will nibble your ear
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I'll be saying is there ain't no better reason To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue
But I won't hesitate
No more,
No more.
It cannot wait,
I'm yours.
Well, open up your mind and see like me Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
So please don't, please don't, please don't.
There's no need to complicate 'Cause our time is short
This oh, this oh, this is our fate,
I'm yours
Oh, I'm yours
Oh, I'm yours
Oh, oh Baby, do you believe, I'm yours
You best believe, you best believe, I'm yours.
This song made me happy like it did with any other person and by the end it had me singing along.
When the song finished I went straight in to writing, I wrote about him wanting to spread happiness and that you should always look at other peoples views and just be care free.
"So class I want you to do a piece of homework for next lesson" and then the groans came from the whole class, why end a good lesson with homework.
"Guys it's not bad I want to get to know you all a little better so I want you to right a piece on yourself and what you like to do that you can present in front of the class and I will also being doing this" and just as he finished setting the homework the buzzer went.
As the kids walked out of the class there were mumbles of 'that was a great lesson' and 'omg he is lush' from the girls which made me smile because he was a teacher and they were immature teenage girls.
I was the last to leave the classroom stopping at Edwards's desk to say thanks.
"That was a really cool lesson Edward" I smiled and went to walk out of the door but I tipped on a desk and fell. I heard Edward get up the next thing I knew he was bending down beside me. It was creepy though he just stared at my face and I knew he was seeing a bruise. He grabbed my hand but not like Charlie did he was gentle and loving, get over yourself Bella no one loves you and especially not a hot teacher. Edward pulled me up and the sleeve of my shirt rose up revealing more bruises, the new ones that were made my Charlie this morning and older ones also made when Charlie was angry.
"Bella what's going on" he asked and I didn't know what to say so I pushed away his hands and ran out of the classroom.
I was going to have to prepare myself for next lesson because I got a feeling he isn't going to drop it.
