DISCLAMER: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT; THE IDEAS ARE MY OWN BUT NOT THE CHARACTERS! :)
I was always the shy girl. Always. That's why I had very few friends. The three friends I did have though were the best friends anybody could ask for, Rachel, Rebecca, and Jacob Black. My father's best friend's children, who I don't see often since my father lives in Forks, Washington. Rachel and Rebecca are each a year older than me, and Jacob is two years younger.
I had a couple of friends in school, Angela and Eric mostly but Mike and Jessica weren't bad.
Right now though, I'm sitting in my 10th grade drama class, and the most beautiful person I know, and probably will ever get to know, is sitting right in front of me. I've known him since we were in the 4th grade. His name is Edward Masen. He is beautiful on the inside and the outside.
Edward is 6'2", and has a slender but muscular body. He has high cheekbones, a strong jaw line, a straight nose, and full lips. His hair, which is always messy, retains an unusual bronze shade that he inherited from his mother. One of the most amazing things about him though, is his eyes. They are the most beautiful shade of green I've ever seen, I could get lost in them for hours if I got the chance.
His personality is the nicest one I have ever met. He is charming, polite, determined, and very stubborn. All of these things I know because his mom and my mom work together. He is honestly the sweetest guy I've ever met. But he doesn't know I exist so it doesn't really matter.
Anyway, back to Drama class. It's one of the two classes I have with him, the other being biology. Today the teacher was talking about some Romeo and Juliet project we have to do. Apparently we are being matched up into groups of two, a boy and a girl, and we have two weeks to practice a scene from the play Romeo and Juliet and we have to perform it for the final presentation in front of the class.
Great, I thought this should be good.
I listened as the teacher called names of partners and I heard groans and sighs of complaint as others heard their names called. The whole time I was hoping and praying that I would get him as my partner.
"Angela Weber, Ben Cheney" Mrs. Roberts went down her list slowly.
Come on… come on… come on… Please, please, please!
"Anna Peterson, Kyle James." She continued going down the list at that same, agonizing pace
I started tapping my foot impatiently. Come one already! "Isabella Swan," I held my breath. Please… "Edward Masen." When she called his name I felt like I could jump out of my chair and do a happy dance. YES! YES! YES! I screamed in my head.
"And that brings us to the end of our list and the end of our time I will post what scenes you all have at the end of the day, check them tomorrow morning. Good luck all of you, remember this counts as ¼ of this semesters grade." Mrs. Roberts said as she began picking up her belongings for lunch.
A few seconds later, the bell rang and I had started gathering my stuff when I felt eyes watching me. I looked up with only my eyes and saw Edward looking back at me with a smile "Howdy partner." He said in a perfect imitation of a Texas accent, I giggled and smiled.
"Are you excited to do this project?" he asked me with a voice that sounded like the sweetest music id ever heard.
"Yes!" I answered immediately and blushed when he gave me that crooked smile that I love so much.
"Well maybe I could get your number?" He asked me. I stared, not sure what to say. Was HE really asking me that? He took my silence the wrong way and clarified "You know, so we can set up a date… to work on our project… not a real date… like a study date I guess." He rambled nervously. I started laughing as I wrote my number on a piece of paper and handed it to him.
He smiled blushing and led the way out of the room. The rest of the day went by quickly. At lunch I couldn't keep my eyes away from him for too long but he kept seeing me which caused me to around so he couldn't see me looking anymore. After that I went to math which was boring and miserable because I couldn't see him. And PE, well PE was the same as always, awful.
I jumped out of my seat when the final bell rang. I had never been so excited to get home in my life.
As soon as my bus dropped me off at my stop I ran home as fast as I could. The second I got home I threw my stuff on the floor went to get a Diet Coke and ran up to my room. I dug my phone out of my pocket, sat down on my bed and started up my laptop putting it on my lap I waited and clicked all of the little boxes that came up. I opened Yahoo messenger and saw that Angela was online.
She started talking to me about her plans for the Romeo and Juliet assignment almost immediately. I really didn't care because I had much bigger things on my mind but I played along. I was asking her how she felt about being partners with Ben when I got an IM from Rachel and Rebecca. Even though all they said was 'hey' I immediately started gushing about today.
I latterly screamed when my phone started ringing and a new number showed up. It's Edward! I typed to Rachel and Rebecca. Tell us EVERYTHING! Was the quick reply I got as I answered the phone.
"Hello?" I asked nervously.
"Um, Bella?" I heard his velvet voice reply. I thought I was going to pass out.
"Yeah, is this Edward?" I asked and immediately felt stupid of course it's him dummy! I thought.
"Yeah, it's me Edward," He said with a light chuckle. "So when do you want to um, get together to work on our project?" he asked me.
"Tomorrow after school?" I asked "We can figure out what scene we get and then we can start working on it here at my house, or at yours, if you want." I said and made myself shut up 'cuz I was rambling again.
He chuckled "Sure that would be cool, do you want to come over to my house?" his question momentarily stunned me.
I took a quiet deep breath before replying "Yeah that sounds cool, see you at school tomorrow, oh do you want to meet up before school to see what scene we got?" I asked him.
"Yeah sure! I'll meet you outside the classroom at 7:00." He said
"OK see you then! Bye Edward" I said quickly and enthusiastically.
"Bye Bella." He replied and I hung up.
After telling Rachel and Rebecca every word that was said in our conversation I got off the computer. When I looked at the clock I was shocked. It was about 6:00 already and my mom and step-dad would be home in a few minutes. I went downstairs and sat on the couch to watch Hannah Montana. In all honesty, I really wasn't watching it, it was just the first thing on.
After my parents got home we had to get ready to go to some stupid business dinner for my mom's work. "I HATE these things!" was my complaint before going up to my room to get dressed in 'nicer cloths.'
I dug through my closet until I found the dress I was looking for. It was a pleated white dress with a black ribbon around it and a black halter strap. I grudgingly put it on and did my makeup. I brushed my hair and put in a black headband with a bow on it. When I was done trying to look 'nice' I grabbed my black heels and went down stairs. My mom and step-dad were already sitting on the couch waiting for me.
"Where's your clutch bag, honey?" my mother asked me. I sighed and ran back upstairs and grabbed the little black clutch that had some money and girly things in it, including my lipstick, mascara, and a picture of Edward. Don't ask how I got it.
I ran back downstairs and my parents were ready to leave. We went out to the car and I got in and put my shoes on. I sighed. I really don't want to go to this stupid thing! I have to pretend to be all prissy and stuff! Grrrr! I thought as I watched the lights out side go by as we drove. Sorry, our chauffeur drove. Yeah we weren't what you'd call poor. We had money, no my parents had money.
When the driver finally got to the hotel where the dinner was I sighed and put on my look-at-me-I'm-such-a-little-angel smile and got out of the car. The first half of the party was boring as heck. I followed my mom and dad around and was greeted by a few people that I knew, the rest I had no idea who they were.
When it was time for dinner my parents sat down at an empty table and I sat next to them. I folded my hands and placed them in my lap like a 'lady'. I didn't bother to see who was sharing our table with us. I didn't really care.
After about ten minutes of us sitting there my father stood up and shook hands with some man. I didn't look up to see who he was. I looked up when I felt the chair next to me move. It was Edward. I looked at the place card in front of his seat and realized that this was where he was supposed to be sitting. OH NO! I thought and blushed a little when he smiled at me. I looked at the other people at our table, my mom's best friend Elizabeth Masen, her husband Edward Masen Sr. and Edward's older brother Austin.
This should be interesting. Boy was I right.
he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do
He's the time taken up but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into
Drew looks at me
I fake a smile so he won't see
-Teardrops on my Guitar-
-Taylor Swift-
