Brown Eyed Angel
Ch. 1
It was another gloomy morning here in Forks, Washington. When wasn't it ever gloomy here? We hardly ever saw sunshine in this boring little town and because of it; it made this town seem even more boring. I hated the rain, no, wait I despised the rain. Not because it made this town boring, but because it took away two of the people that I loved the most. I have been living here in Forks since I was little. My biological mom and dad moved here from Chicago about a year after I was born. Since I was about twelve, I remember living with them in a house not too far from the elementary school. About a month after my twelfth birthday, my whole world fell apart. That's when the accident happened. That's when the rain caused the roads to be slick. That's when a car skidded out of control and crashed into my parent's car. And that's when I lost them forever.
But, even though that was the worst day in my whole entire life, something else happened that day that changed it forever. That's when I met Dr. Carlisle Cullen. I didn't know it at the time of course, but he was my soon to be adoptive father. He was one of the most caring people I had ever met and when he introduced me to his wife Esme, I couldn't believe I was lucky enough to come across two of the most caring people I had ever met; except for my parent's of course. After they passed, Carlisle never left my side. And when he found out I had no other living relatives; he was kind enough to offer me a place as his son in his family. Him and Esme wanted to adopt at the time so Esme always said that it was fate that brought us all together.
It was hard for me to live with complete strangers but after a couple of years, I started to adjust to it. That's when they decided that they wanted to adopt more children. Esme always told me that she wanted me to have someone my own age around the house. I was expecting them to bring home a new brother, but was surprised when they brought home a fourteen-year-old pixie like girl with green eyes and short black hair. My new sister, Alice, was a little skittish at first. I figured she would be like me and take a few years to adjust to us, but boy was I wrong. It only took her a week! By then, she followed me around like a lost puppy. Especially at school, she would follow me and my friends around everywhere. And when we were home, she would try to get me to play dress up with her or even try to get me to wear some of her make up. Once, when I was a sleep, she painted my toe and finger nails an awful hot pink color! I complained to Carlisle and Esme that she was being annoying and they thought it would be best to adopt a boy my age. I jumped for joy at that. And when Emmett arrived, I couldn't be happier. We got along right away. We would play video games, play sports, go hiking in the woods near our home, and do other masculine things. I felt bad after a while though because Alice didn't really have anyone to hang out with and she wouldn't do any of the things that Emmett and I did. She would scream and burst into tears when a smudge of dirt would appear on her clothes, so there was no way she would want to play mud football with us.
But, it all changed once we all got to high school. Alice made a lot of friends, girlfriends, and was labeled popular as soon as she walked through the doors of Forks High. Once Emmett and I joined the football team in the middle of our freshman year, things changed for us too. We had a lot more people wanting to sit with us at lunch and a lot of hormonal teenage girls started to talk and flirt with us. Emmett absolutely loved the spot light; especially from the girls but I hated it and I still do. It was strange though because Emmett, Alice, and I became a lot closer. We did more things together like go to the movies, friends' houses, eat together at lunch, and yes, sometimes even the mall with the whacked out shopping freak, Alice. We were non-separable, well, until the Hale twins came into the picture.
Jasper and Rosalie Hale moved here in the summer before our sophomore year. Emmett fell in love with Rose the moment she walked past him. It was quiet funny though because at first, Rose didn't want anything to do with Emmett. He followed her around and kept bugging her by asking her out every two seconds. Rose being annoyed, finally caved in to shut him up. But, once they had their first date, they were both literally almost glued to each other's sides. So, Emmett was out of the picture for a while and only really hung out with Alice and I at lunch. Then, Jasper started to sit with us at lunch when Rose did. The instant Jasper started talking to Alice, I could tell I had another lovesick couple on my hands. Alice and Jasper started to go out in the middle of our sophomore year.
I began to feel like the third wheel when I was around the couples. They would invite me to go to the movies with them or go out to eat, but I always kindly refused. It started to feel awkward and I was sure they didn't like their brother tagging along on their dates. They wanted me to come on their double dates with them but they wanted it to be a triple date.
Alice tried setting me up with girls in school but, not one of them I could stand enough to even have a civilized conversation with so how was I suppose to date them? Most girls she tried to set me up with probably didn't know what a civilized conversation was. They would sit and talk about stuff I really could care less about like how much they liked me, how much their outfit cost, where they planned on going shopping, why they hated everyone else in the school, and so on and so on. I couldn't stand their needy eyes that gave me the creeps whenever they stared me down. I hated the way they would try to throw themselves at me like I was some kind of...God. I was not interested in any girl at Forks High. They were all the same. Stuck up and too into them selves to care about anything else that happened in this world. And that was it; they all thought the whole world revolved around them.
I was grateful though. Just because I didn't have a girlfriend, didn't make me a lonely person to wallow up in my self-pity. I had football, which I loved playing with a passion but I new being on the football team was the only reason why Emmett and I became popular. Plus having a doctor as a father helped out our living expenses as well so that probably helped out as well. And even though I hate being popular, I can't deny the fact that I love how many friends I have made. There were only a few close ones though which I didn't mind because I'd rather have a few close one's rather than a large group. Other than being close to Emmett, Alice, Rose, and Jasper, I had only one best friend. When Brandon and Elizabeth Perkins arrived, the new "it" twins, I couldn't be happier. Brandon and I became best friends when he joined the football team and Eli would tag along with us sometimes when we hung out and I enjoyed her company. But, as soon as Alice saw this, she befriended Eli at the thought that I liked her. Alice was sadly disappointed though when her efforts of trying to get us together failed when she realized that we were friends and would remain just friends. But, over all of this, Alice and Eli became best friends so I guess it wasn't a total loss to her, but to me? Well, it became even worse. Now, I had two girls trying to get me to go out with half the sophomore and even junior population at Forks High. They made a huge mistake when they introduced me to Tanya Denali though and I am sure they regretted it. Sure Tanya was beautiful, but most beautiful girls had an ugly self-centered side, and believe me she had it. And when I declined her offer to go out, she would not leave me alone after and insisted on tagging along with me everywhere I went. This made Alice, Rose, and Eli mad. They couldn't stand her either when they realized what kind person she really was. And she would try to do things to get my attention hoping that I would change my mind and fall for her, but there is no way I could ever fall for a girl like that.
They just didn't get the message though. The kind of girl I wanted was way out of the league of the girls here. I wanted a girl that was worth meeting. I wanted a girl who wasn't self centered and only cared about her self. I wanted a girl who I could actually talk about books, music, art, and other things that didn't involve what they just bought at the mall and how much it cost. I wanted a girl who was purely beautiful and by that I mean her soul was beautiful. I wanted a girl who I could protect and be there for. I wanted a girl that I could see myself being with for the rest of our existence on this God forsaken planet. And sadly, the girl I wanted was nowhere to be found at Forks High School.
I sighed as I looked out of my massive bedroom window and stared gloomily out at the drizzling rain that covered the forest surrounding my family's home. We are all in our junior year now and I still have not found that girl. I have a feeling I am going to be waiting forever for her to come.
"Edward! Come on, we are going to be late!" Alice said from the doorway of my bedroom. I turned around and looked at my sister who was staring at me with her arms crossed and had an annoyed expression on her face.
"You know Alice, you could always drive yourself if you think that you're going to be late because of me." I said as I walked away from the window and grabbed my backpack from off of my bed.
Alice huffed, "Whatever Edward. Just get your butt down stairs and get it in that precious Volvo of yours."
I sighed again as I followed my sister down stairs. When I walked into the kitchen a piece of toast was immediately shoved into my hands. I looked up to see Esme doing the same to Emmett who walked in from the garage.
"Okay you guys all set? Got all your homework done and you have all your books that you need for class?" Esme asked us as she walked to each one of us and gave us a hug. I just nodded as I bit into my toast.
"Yep we are all set Esme. Now, if Edward and Emmett would hurry their football headed butts, then we can go!" Alice squealed as she grabbed her book bag from off of the long kitchen counter and started to dig through it for something.
"All right, you guys be careful and have a fun day at school. I'm going to go up to take a shower and get ready. I have a client coming over by noon today." She said. Esme was an interior/exterior designer and had people making appointments with her from left and right because of how amazing she is at her work.
"All right. We will see you when we get home." I said. She smiled and gave us a little wave before heading out of the kitchen.
"What on earth has you so excited to get to school Alice? We will make it there on time, it's only seven nineteen." I said after I finished off the rest of my toast. I walked over to the fridge and grabbed a carton of orange juice and then went to one of the many cupboards and found a glass.
"She's probably in a hurry to have another make out session with Jasper." Emmett said, as he was finishing off his second piece of toast and was reaching for another one off of the stack that was sitting on the kitchen counter.
"Shut up Emmett!" Alice growled. I chuckled as I finished pouring my glass of orange juice and put the carton back in the fridge.
"You shut up!" Emmett's voiced boomed.
"No, I don't have to. Because unlike you, I don't have sex on my brain twenty for seven!" She shrieked back.
"Ha! Your thinking about it now aren't you?" Emmett countered back. Alice looked at him with a blank expression on her face and was clearly confused. I was even confused, what the hell did he mean by that?
"What?" She asked.
"I just proved that you were thinking about sex." He said and beamed.
"What? I was not!" Alice said. I leaned against the counter and crossed my arms across my chest as I looked back and forth between the two like I usually did when they got into their little quarrels. I found them to be quiet entertaining.
"Yes you were!" Emmett said. "You just said that unlike me you don't think about sex twenty four seven right?"
"Yes I did Emmett." Alice said annoyed.
"Well, see you said that I think about sex twenty for seven, sooo, there for, you just thought about sex if you were telling me that I thought about it." Emmett said as a matter of fact. I chuckled. Emmett and his brain storming theories could probably be compared to a four year olds.
"What? Emmett! You make no sense!" Alice peeved.
"Okay, you two. Lets get going before we really are late." I laughed and swallowed the rest of my orange juice before I put the glass in the sink. I walked over to the counter and gabbed my backpack and keys.
"Edward come on! You know I was right about that one." Emmett said as he grabbed one more piece of toast and turned around to walk out into the garage. I looked at Alice who had her bag slung over her shoulder and we both rolled our eyes.
We walked into the garage and made our way over to my Volvo. Emmett was chomping down on his toast waiting near the passenger door.
"I'm not letting you in my car until you finish that." I said. Emmett rolled his eyes and shoved the rest into his mouth.
"There. Happy now?" He said with his mouth still full.
"Yes." I said and unlocked the doors before settling down into the comfortable leather seats. Once we were all in and buckled up, I started the car and backed out of the open garage door. After winding down our hidden driveway, I soon turned onto the highway and zoomed toward the hellhole we call school.
"Alice, stop bouncing up and down, you are shaking the car." I said as I looked into the review mirror and saw that she looked like a child waiting to open her Christmas presents.
"I can't help it Edward! Can't you drive any faster?" She asked as she leaned forward in between Emmett and I.
"I am already doing eighty Alice." I said shaking my head.
"Well, it won't hurt you to do eighty five." She said as she leaned back into her seat.
"Why are you in such a hurry to get to school today?" I asked as I remembered she never answered my question in the kitchen.
"Edward, what's today?" She asked.
"Um, it's Monday Alice. Why?" I asked confused.
"Exactly! Today is going to be a special Monday." She said with a squeal.
"Why is today so special Alice? It isn't anyone's birthday or anything is it?" I asked, starting to get annoyed with the little game she was playing and hoped that I didn't forget anyone's birthday.
"No, it's no one's b-day." She said in a 'duh' like voice.
"Alice would you spit it out already!" Emmett said from next to me. I smiled and fist bumped him as a thank you.
"Oh fine!" She said as she rolled her eyes. "There's going to be a new student coming to Forks High today! She's Chief Swans daughter and she's a junior!"
"Cool fresh meat!" Emmett said as he put his hands together with an evil glint in his eyes.
"How do you know all that?" I asked looking up at her through the review mirror.
"I have connections." Was all she said. I just shook my head and wondered who this new girl was and hoped to god she wasn't going to be another fake Barbie.
I pulled into the parking lot about a minute later and parked in my usual spot. I didn't care if any one else parked here but ever since I started to; no one would so I just claimed it for myself.
We all got out and headed towards the front. On the way I noticed an old faded red Chevy pick up truck parked near the office that I've never seen before.
"Whoa, look at that heap of junk." Emmett said from my side.
"Oh, I bet that's the new girls!" Alice squealed. "Too bad Eli couldn't come today. She would be getting a kick out of all of this."
"Calm down Alice. You are acting like she's a new exhibit at the zoo or something." I said. I couldn't understand why she was making a big deal about it. It was just a new student, a girl who was probably just like every one of the ones that already attended here. Fake, spoiled, unintelligent, selfish, conceded, and thinks that they only need to use math for their shopping excursions.
"Hey Jazzy!" I heard Alice squeal as she ran up to one of the blondes making their way towards us. She threw her arms around Jasper and he spun her around in circles while she giggled.
The other one went straight to Emmett and gave him a not so private kiss. "How's my Emmy doing this morning." She asked when they pulled apart.
"Better now that I have my beautiful Rosey. You ready to head to first period?" He asked as he wrapped his massive arm around Rosalie's shoulder.
I was starting to get really nauseous from all the lovey dovey crap going on around me. I really need to get out of here. I looked at my watch and noticed that the bell was about to ring, thank god, so I waved to everyone even though I knew no one was paying attention and headed down the hall towards my first period class.
I suddenly felt someone grab my arm and I turned to see Tanya Denali smiling in what I think was suppose to be a seductive smile. I wanted nothing more than to disappear on the spot, and never return.
"Hey Edward. Where are you headed?" She asked in her sickly sweet voice that made me want to cringe internally. Why can't this girl leave me alone? I told her time and time again that I was not interested in her. But, like a lost puppy, she kept finding her way back trying to get my attention.
"Heading to first period history." I said in a natural voice staring at anything but her.
"Oh, well I'm heading to math. Math is so dumb. I mean if we have calculators and stuff that do all the work for us now, then why do we still need to learn it? It is so pointless." She said. I rolled my eyes. Yep, sounded like something she would say.
"Did you hear we have a new student today?" She asked when I didn't respond to her lecture about math. "I saw her. I can't believe everyone is making such a big fuss over her. She is so ugly. I mean, she came from the desert! How lame is that? I bet her skin is so dry and wrinkly from the sun. That's why I like Forks. We don't have to worry about sun damage and get tans from a tanning booth which is a hell of a lot better than…."
I started to tune her out then. I felt like if I didn't, I would either lose brain cells or my brain would actually explode from boredom. All's I heard was blah blah blah. I chuckled out loud when I thought about Charlie Brown and the way his teacher talked.
"I know right?" Tanya brought me back from my Charlie Brown reverie when I heard her annoying laugh that sounded like finger nails on a chalk board. "I couldn't believe she actually tried that outfit on and actually believed us when we told her it looked good."
Oh my, she thought I was laughing with her at some stupid "joke" she was trying to tell. I looked up and noticed that we were at my building and it took all the strength in me to not yell out halleluiah.
"Well Tanya, this is my stop. I will see you later." I said and disentangled myself from her arm.
"Oh okay. Bye Eddie!" She yelled from behind me and this time I didn't hide my cringe.
The day seemed to pass by slowly and I was starting to get really tired about hearing about the new girl. She was the talk of the school and in every one of my classes; I had people asking if I'd seen her yet, which I have not and don't really care if I do. Everyone of the guys were saying that she was a beauty while most of the girls like Tanya, said that she was ugly and homely which meant that they were probably jealous of her.
I was in English when the bell finally sounded, signaling that it was time for lunch. I sighed in relief as I began to gather up my stuff and shoved it into my bag.
"Hey Edward. Are you going to Mikes bon fire this weekend?" Tyler Crowley asked me as we made our way out of the classroom. He was a nice guy and was on the football team with Emmett, Brandon, and I.
"Uh, I don't really know. I think I might skip out on this one." I said as we started walking in the direction of the cafeteria.
"Aw, come on man! You have to come!" He said.
I chuckled, "I might. I just don't know if I have any plans already or not."
"Well if you do, cancel them. It is going to be a blast and I heard a lot of people are going this time." He said.
"I'll think about it." I said.
"All right man. I'll see you later." He said as he walked over to a girl and kissed her on the cheek. Was I the only guy on the football team without a girlfriend?
I sighed as I opened the cafeteria door and walked in. I saw Emmett in the lunch line and as soon as he saw me he began to flag me down.
"Hey Ed." He said when I reached him.
"Hey Emmett." I said as I grabbed a tray and began to pile some food on it.
"So have you seen the new girl yet?" He asked me when we reached Judy the lunch lady.
"Why the hell is everyone asking me that today? No! I have not seen her yet Emmett." I said annoyed and handed my money to Judy.
"Gee, calm down there Ed. I was just asking." He said and then began to lead the way over to our usual table. "Too bad you haven't though man. She's a cutie."
I didn't say anything as I walked. Once we reached the table I noticed everyone was already there. I plopped my tray down and took a seat next to Alice.
"There you are Edward!" She said excitedly. Oh god, here we go. Now I have to hear more about the new girl from the gossip queen.
"Oh my gosh Edward, have you seen Bella?" Alice asked.
"Bella?" I asked and then took a bite of my pizza.
"Yes Bella! Well, Isabella. That's the new girls name!" She said with a squeal.
I sighed, "No Alice, I have not seen her yet and I could care less if I ever do."
"Well Mr. Grumpy Pants, just look up towards the door and you can see her. And trust me, once you do you won't be sorry." She said in a sing along like voice.
I sighed again for the umpteenth time today and looked up towards the direction of the cafeteria doors. I felt my mouth drop and my eyes widen at the sight before me. There, walking towards the lunch line was the most beautiful angel I had ever seen. She had dark mahogany hair that waved down to the center of her back. Her eyes from where I could tell were a chocolate brown that sparkled under the fluorescent lights. Her skin was a pale white that looked so soft to the touch; nothing compared to what Tanya had described this morning. She also had a faint rose color that painted her beautiful cheeks and she was clad in a pair of jeans, a blue T, and a brown rain jacket. Her style would probably be described as plain to most of the girls here but I thought it suited her perfectly and she is absolutely stunning.
I continued to watch the angel before me as she walked over to Judy to pay fro her lunch. I noticed Judy looked at her a bit shocked and I didn't blame her. After she paid, she walked towards the center of the room and looked around at the tables for a place to sit. She must have spotted one as she started to make her way over towards the empty table on the other side of the room that was adjacent to ours. She was halfway there when she suddenly tripped over what I had no idea since I did not see a single thing on the floor. The cafeteria erupted into laughter as the new girl slowly continued walking towards the table. I didn't laugh though. I felt the sudden urge to rip everyone's head off for laughing at the angel. Wait –why am I suddenly acting this way?
"She's a clumsy little thing aint she?" I heard Emmett ask. I turned to him and glared.
"What?" He asked with a stupid look on his face. I heard Alice giggle from my side and I turned my glare onto her.
"I told you so." She said with a smug smile. "Isabella is beautiful isn't she? I don't have her in any of my classes. I wish I did though. I saw her in the hallway earlier and I was going to go up and say hi but the poor thing looked so scared as it was. I think tomorrow Eli should talk to her. You know get to know her more. I know Eli can make her feel more comfortable since she was the newbie two years ago so she knows what it's like."
"I'm surprised you don't know her whole life story by now Alice." I said and rolled my eyes. She glared at me and I just laughed.
"Hey guys!" I snapped my head up to see Eric smiling at us. "You guys ready for the game on Friday? I am doing a whole front page story on it so I wish you guys luck!"
"Thanks Eric, I think we are ready it." I said.
"Hells yeah we are! We are going to kick some Richmond High ass!" Emmett said causing all of us to laugh.
"Well, I will see you guys after the game then. I want to get an interview no matter what the outcome is." Eric said and then waved a goodbye before he headed back to his table.
"So Edward…" Alice began. "Do you want to know what I do know about the chief's daughter?"
Heck yeah I did! I wanted to know as much as I could about the beautiful girl that was making me feel all jittery at the thought of her. I could tell that something is different about her and I want to know what makes her different from everyone here. I looked over at the fortunate table she had chosen to sit at when I noticed she was staring, staring at me. Her beautiful chocolate eyes that were piercing mine held such integrity that I almost found myself lost in them. She must have noticed that I was staring because she blinked, shook her head slightly and looked quickly down at her untouched food. I felt disappointed at not being able to look in her eyes and I felt myself longing to look into them again. What on earth is wrong with me? Why do I all of a sudden feel this way about this girl that I don't even know?
"Well?" I heard Alice ask from my side. I snapped my head up towards her and she was still smiling smugly.
"Well what?" I asked and tried hard not to turn my head to look back at the angel. It felt like an invisible force was trying to pull me towards her.
"Gosh, since your head is obviously else where, I will just tell you." Alice said annoyed but I could tell her tone was fake since she still had that same smile. "Her full name is Isabella Marie Swan, but she prefers to be called Bella. As you already know, she is Chief Swan's daughter and she moved here from Phoenix, Arizona to live with him."
I tested her name in my head as I turned to look at the girl on the other side of the room. Her beautiful mahogany hair was being used as a curtain to hide her face. Isabella, Bella, Isabella Marie, Isabella Marie Swan. God, it fit her perfectly.
"Hey Edward, don't we have to talk to coach before the bell rings?" Emmett asked interrupting my thoughts. Crap, I forgot. I didn't want to move from this spot. I wanted to spend all day looking at Bella. Whoa Edward, you are really starting to sound like a creeper.
"Yeah, lets go." I said shaking my head a bit to try and get the thoughts of her out of my head. I got up and gathered my tray and backpack. I walked over to a trashcan to dump my food and shrugged my backpack onto my shoulders. I turned around to head towards the door when I suddenly felt someone bump into me. I turned to the side and looked down at the bumper and nearly gasped when I realized whom it was. I smiled, it was her, my brown eyed angel.
Her head slowly lifted up and her wide dazzling brown eyes met my own. Her eyes suddenly got even wider when she looked up at me and I wondered why. It looked like she was trying to speak and I was craving to hear what her voice sounded like. Then that's when I heard it. Her voice was the most beautiful sound in the world. It conquered the voice of a thousand angels.
"Uh-um…. I- I'm So- rry." She said, as the most beautiful blush crept up onto her cheeks. I smiled wider as she looked back down at her feet.
"That's alright." I said. She kept looking down at her feelt while she played with her hands. I wanted so much to see her face again and as if right on queue, her hypnotizing brown eyes looked back up into mine. She opened her mouth and was about to speak when…
"Hey Edward! You coming or what man?" I heard Emmett yell. We both turned to see him standing by the door waiting for me to follow him. I cursed him internally and looked back at the angel in front of me and smiled at her before walking over towards Emmett. I knew if I didn't walk away from her now, I would have never of wanted to move from that spot. What was going on with me? I never felt this way about any girl before.
After Emmett and I talked briefly with the coach about Friday's game, we both separated ways and headed in the direction of our classes. Surprisingly I made it to biology before the bell rang and took my seat at my usual table.
I took my book out of my bag right when the bell rang. I heard the door open and I happened to look up. Holy crap, it's her. I have biology with Bella! I couldn't believe how excited I was and cursed myself mentally for acting like an over excited child, or an over excited Alice. I literally felt like bouncing up and down on my stool.
I watched intently as she walked slowly up to Mr. Banner. Once he saw her he smiled and asked, "Isabella Swan?"
She nodded her head causing her beautiful hair to bounce lightly and handed him a little white slip. Mr. Banner took it and signed it before he handed it back to her.
"Well, why don't you introduce yourself to the class Isabella?" He asked. I looked at her and saw her eyes go wide and her face visibly paled. Well, I guess she isn't much of a public speaker.
"Class, I would like to have your attention please." Mr. Banner asked. I don't think he needed to since the whole class was already looking up at Bella. "We have a new student in the class and she would like to introduce herself to you."
I saw the look seh gave him after he said that and almost burst out laughing. It was a "Yeah right" look. I watched as she turned and looked back at the class as we waited for her to begin. She took a deep breath and stared down at something in the isle in front of her.
"Uh-Hi. My name is Isabella Swan. But-uh, I prefer Bella. Um, I came her from Phoenix High, in Arizona. And-uh-yeah. That's it I guess." She said nervously. I smiled at how cute she looked playing with her hands and the blush that spread across her pale cheeks.
"Well, welcome to the class Bella. You may go take a seat by Mr. Cullen and then we can begin today's lesson." I could have walked up and hugged the man for sitting her next to me. She nodded her head and began to walk over to the empty seat that was next to me, when she suddenly fell backwards landing hard on her butt. I sat up instantly and had to fight running over to her to make sure she was all right. The class filled with laughter and snickers as Mr. Banner walked over to her and again I was surprised by the feeling of wanting to rip their heads off for laughing at her.
"Class, settle down." He said as he helped her up. "Are you okay Miss Swan?"
She just nodded her head and slowly continued walking towards the empty seat next to me. Once she was close and I knew she wouldn't fall again, I finally sat back down on my stool. She sat gently down on the stool next to me and began to pull things out of her bag. Her hair hid her face but I knew she probably still had that lovely blush of hers.
"Hey, Bella…. are you ok? You took a pretty nasty fall." I said softly. She suddenly stopped all her movements and froze for a few seconds before nodding her head like she did with Mr. Banner. I couldn't really tell if it was a nod or not because of the way her hair was.
"Bella…?" I whispered hoping I would get a verbal response this time.
"I-I-I I'm fine." Her voice chocked out and sounded almost like she was trying to hide back tears. I suddenly felt the urge to comfort her. What on earth is with all the urges today?
We sat in silence as Mr. Banner drawled on about today's lesson but I found it hard to concentrate with her sitting next to me. Bella still kept her head slightly down so I couldn't see her face but I could tell she was taking notes by the way her hand wrote feverishly in her notebook as if she was in a hurry to get them done. I didn't even bother to take any notes. I just sat there and looked at Bella trying to figure out why I felt so strongly for this girl I hardly even knew. But, something was bothering me. Why was she acting like she didn't want to talk to me? I couldn't help but get a vibe like she wanted nothing more than to get as far away from me as possible. When she finally lifted her head a little, she pushed her hair over her shoulder so it was all that I could see. I sighed, this girl probably thinks I am some psycho weirdo and doesn't want a thing to do with me. That thought angered me and sadden me at the same time. I was angry because I wanted to know why she was avoiding me and I was sad that she was avoiding me in the first place.
I was still looking at her when I saw her shift slightly. She turned her head and gasped when she looked at me. Crap! I turned away quickly and looked at the board where Mr. banner was babbling on about something. I probably just confirmed to her that I was some psycho weirdo since I've been practically staring at her through the whole class period. But, I couldn't help it. She was so intriguing to me and I wanted to find out what she was thinking and hoped it wasn't what I thought earlier.
For the rest of the class I kept my eyes up front. I didn't want to weird her out any more than I probably already have. But when she started to fidget next to me, I let my eyes stray back over to see why she was acting so edgy. I saw her looking up at the clock and begin to put her things away. Once she had everything put into her bag, she looked back up at the clock and slung the bag over her shoulder. Right when the bell sounded, she bolted out of her seat and out of the classroom as if it was on fire.
I sat there stunned as I stared after her. Okay, I know I probably shouldn't have stared at her like that but is that the real reason why she treid to get out of the classroom as fast as possible? I spent the whole next period trying to figure out why the new girl hated me so much. I know I probably stared at her too much but was that enough to make her hate me? The way she wanted to get away from me as fast as she could just proved that she wanted nothing to do with me. But, a small part of me hoped that she was just nervous and maybe embarrassed about what happened in class so she just wanted to get out of there because of that.
After the bell rang signaling that it was the end of health class and the end of the day, I walked out of my sixth period class and headed to the front office to give Ms. Cope some things that my health teacher wanted to get copied.
I opened the door to the office and was surprised to see Bella standing at the front desk talking to Ms. Cope. I walked over to stand behind her. I knew it was wrong but I wanted to know what she was telling her.
"Well, what's the matter with the biology class? Do you have a problem with…" Ms. Cope began. I felt my face fall and my stomach suddenly felt like I swallowed a tone of rocks.
"What? Oh no…I don't have a problem with Mr. Banner. No, it's just. I would really like to have it at a different time if that's possible." She said. She was trying to get out of biology because of me. I knew it! I knew she hated me. I didn't deserve her, that's why god sent her here to taunt me. I finally found a girl that has been able to awaken all these emotions inside of me and that girl hates me.
"Well dear, I'm sorry to say that most of the other biology classes in your grade are already filled, so there's no room. And, since you don't have a problem with Mr. Banner then I can't see why you would want to change it." Ms. Cope said confused. I almost burst out and said that she wanted to change out of it because of me.
"Can't you just switch my classes?" She asked desperately. The more and more I listened to them, the more I wanted to runaway from here and never come back.
"I'm sorry dear. Maybe this problem needs to be discussed between you and your teacher." Ms. Cope said.
Bella sighed and handed over the slip that Mr. Banner signed. Ms. Cope took it and placed it inside a file before turning back around asked, "Is there anything else you needed Bella?"
"No, thank you for your help." She said softly. Even though it was soft I could still detect the annoyance there.
"No problem Bella, have a great day!" Ms. Cope said with a smile
Bella turned around and once she saw me, she gasped and stopped dead in her tracks. I tried to mask the disappointment and sadness before she saw it but I knew she seen it because her eyes went as wide as saucers.
"Ah, Mr. Cullen…. what a pleasant surprise." Ms. Cope said cheerfuly. Bella suddenly looked back down at her feet and dashed out of the door like she did in biology. After the door closed behind her, I finally turned back around to face Ms. Cope.
"Mrs. Stewart wanted to have these copied." I said as I put on a fake smile and handed her the papers. "She wants a hundred for each of them."
"Okay, will do. I will set them in her box when I finish them so you don't have to wait." She said and took the papers from me.
"Okay, have a nice day Ms. Cope." I said.
"You two Mr. Cullen." I turned around then and walked out of the door. As soon as I felt the cool air hit my face, I let the fake smile drop. I looked up and was going to start to head in the direction of my Volvo where Alice and Emmett were waiting, when I saw the faded red Chevy pick up truck pull out of it's parking spot. I saw the drivers brown eyes as they looked at me through the review mirror. they rund away from me the momment I made eye contact and I watched as they drove quickly out of the parking lot without looking back again.
I sighed. There was one thing I knew for certain. The one girl I was finally falling for, hated me with a passion.
AN: Well, there you have it! Please please please tell me what you all think! Do you think I am doing well with the Edward POV? This was totally a lot harder to write than I thought. It was easier to write in Bella's POV so I tried my best with Edwards. I don't know when i will have the next chapter up since I am not completely done with Unexpected Love, but I promise I won't leaving you guys hanging forever. I just wanted to get something up there to see what everyone thought and if i should continue this the way it's going. So, please let me know what you all think!
