Hola Seniors & Senioritas.
This is my first story on FANFIC, but I have experience writing:)
tell me what you think.
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN Twilight the book, or the movie, but use some favorite phrases :P
It was late Saturday night as I walked slowly down the dim hallways.
I clomped down the stairs, dragging my feet walking into the living room, I flickered on the TV, turning it to some late night talk show, but my mind was preoccupied, I had seen my boyfriend, leading another woman into his car, and when I had accused him of it, he called me crazy and walked away from me.
I sighed, seeing the scene play into front of me again, the light flickering across the dark walls, dancing into the deepest of corners.
I couldn't stay here, where it had happened..
I rushed upstairs tripping a couple time, I yanked on my shorts and a large t-shirt and pull over sweatshirt, tying my converse and grabbing my newly acquired iPod. I pulled my long dark hair into a bun on the top of my head, I tumbled down the stairs and out the hall.
It was 6:00 so the sun was set and the clouds were reeling in.
I was headed for the gym, everybody was out, but I wasn't much of a party-goer..
I rubbed my sore knees and palms, pulling up my hood and plugging in my iPod;
"And all I need is the air a breathe
and a place to rest my head"
blasted out the ear phone and I mouthed the words along.
"This way sir" a young freshman girl squeaked.
I looked up suddenly, tripping over my feet, stumbling forwards, throwing my hands out, I hit the wet grass.
"Are you okay?" The girl grimaced at my battered knees, grass stained but thankfully not bleeding.
"Yeah I'm fine"I blushed, tucking my loose behind my ear, I pushed myself up, when I came face to face with the "sir" she was talking about.
He had golden bronze hair, tousled back from his face, his skin was pale and it looked to be as soft as silk. His jaw was tight and his hands were clenched into tight fists, his lips were in a tight closed line and his eyes..
They were a liquid gold, smothering and moving into itself, rippling out from his black irises. He glared at me and I blushed for interrupting their tour.
"Sorry" I mumbled brushing past him.
Underneath his thin knit gray sweater, rolled up to his elbows, his skin was ice cold and just as smooth as I expected. The planes of his face tightened again as I accidentally brushed his arm, his eyes bent and pulled together, his mouth deepened into a frown.
I turned and quickly walked away, trying not to trip, when I heard a voice.
"Uh, miss?" it was his voice no doubt, it swirled and spun through honey and velvet, soft yet hard at the same time.
"Yeah?" I turned around quickly to see him staring at me with the same expression on his face.. but somehow.. softer, there was a menacing look playing across his lips, I shivered relentlessly.
"Your iPod?" he had it in his pale hand.
"OH!" I gasped starting towards it quickly, at the last moment I tripped. Again, and fell forward, but I caught myself.
I cursed myself quietly and slowly walked towards him, he carefully placed it in my palm.
I smiled at him, and he flashed his perfect white teeth, the young girl was persistent trying to get him to follow, he rolled his eyes but then his face changed again, tight and scared, he turned away and followed the girl.
I took a deep breath in, taste him on my tongue, his scent lingered in the air. Then I felt something in my palm, I flipped my iPod over to see a little piece of square paper:
"Edward" it read simply, I smiled to myself and continued to the gym, quietly snapping my fingers to the beat.
"We were both young when I first saw you,
I close my eyes and the flashback starts;
I'm standing there.."I pushed open the pool doors, empty. Awesome.
I wandered into the locker room quickly grabbing my bathing suit from my locker, I threw my stuff in and opened the door to the speaker room, I put my iPod on shuffle and plugged it into the cord that was hooked up to the multiple speakers around the pool.
I put it on shuffle hearing the booming bass outside.
I dove in quickly ignoring the cool temperature.
Amy Winehouse seeped underwater as I swam blindly through the dark water.
After about 15 laps I stopped and took a break.
Since coming to college I had lost a lot to almost all of my softness, I was fit and toned now.
The swimming got everything off my mind.
It felt good as I dove under water again.
After a few more laps I was out of breath and tired, I pulled myself out of the pool and showered, washing the chlorine out of my hair as much as possible.
I towel dried it and piled it on top of my head again, I pulled my t-shirt over my head, and my shorts on, tying up my shoes again.
As I walked back to the dorm ,close to the dim lights that were flickering on.
It was dark, around 8:00 maybe 7:30, and I had a weird feeling someone was watching me.
I walked faster trying to get the the dorm as fast as possible, the hair on the back of my neck stood up and I whipped around to see someone in the streetlights.
I squinted taking a few steps towards then.
The person was tall, and I couldn't make out it's face, but he was leaning against the pole, his hands in his pockets, his hair tousled back and shining.
"Are you following me?" a smile played across his lips, as I recognized the perfect smile, it was that guy.. Edward.
He stepped towards me, maybe a few meters away now.
"I'm on a midnight stroll" he smiled again at me.
I cocked my eyebrow puzzled at him "Its not midnight though" I smirked trying to get to admit it, that he was following me.
He shook his head.
I shrugged and turned and started walking again, feeling safer with him just a few feet behind me.
"So" I jumped, I didn't even here him walk up next to me "I'm new, what's the best part about this place?" he tilted his head to the side staring at me.
I had to look away because I got so caught up in his eyes, which still managed to blaze in the night, they were lighter, butterscotch maybe.
"Did you .. Do something with.. you eyes?" I blushed a my stuttering
"Huh?" he looked at me "Oh, no, they change colour, it's weird" he laughed, but his laugh was tight and unsure.
I saw threw it.
"The best thing.." I pondered for a moment " Mr. Rawk" I laughed thinking of my crazy english, mathematics teacher "He's the best" I smiled up at the mysterious guy.
"What's your name?" he looked down at me as I gazed up at him, I blushed and looked away as his eyes made my mind go blank. "Uhh" I mumbled trying to clear my head as I stared up at his inhuman face, my mind going blank, his eyes stunned me and is face dazzled me, leaving me unable to speak.
"Well, then, Uhhh, it's nice to meet you" he laughed
"No, No, my names Bella" I blushed
"Bella.." he smiled "Beautiful"
Did he just call me beautiful?
"In Italian" he chased after it seeing my shocked face
"Oh yeah," I laughed actually thinking this God of a creature would actually think I was attractive let alone beautiful.
"Is this your dorm?" he looked up at the dark windows.
"Yup, third floor, fifth window down" I smiled, he was easy to talk to.
"Nice" he smiled "Well I better go, it was nice to meet you Bella" He bent down to my level "See you soon" his breath blew in my face and he turned away his scent wafting behind me, I was stunned yet again by him, as I waved numbly and watched him through hazy eyes, I think from what I remember, he was laughing, his body lifting in the familiar shaking, uncontrolable way.
I looked away and numbly retreated up the stairs to my room getting undressed, showering, getting dressed, brushing my teeth, going threw the motion.
I snuggled into bed and shivered, realizing I was freezing, I clutched the covers up to my neck and slowly dozed off..
I dreamt of the mysterious inhuman boy that found such an interest in me..
