"Edward, are you sure you don't want a ride home?" asked my sister, Alice from her 2009 BMW Convertible. She bought it on her 16th birthday, and it was her prizzed possesion.
"Alice, quit worrying! I'll be fine!" I shouted from across the street. "Besides I just need to make a few more stops, and home is just a few blo9cks down!"
"Alright, fine. But please hurry!" she cautioned. She was always looking out for me like the big sister she was. Well big sister by five minutes, we were twins. Jasper, Alice's boyfriend looked out the window from behind.
"See you later, Edward." he called.
"Bye!" And with that they sped off.
Alone at last.
I walked with a brisk pace to the nearest book store. I had to get another copy of Wuthering Heights, for Honors Lit. Comp. Mine was so old it crumbled everytime I picked it up. But as I neared the bookstore, I noticed the "closed" sign hanging lasily in the window of the darkend room.
"Shit." I mumbled. Oh well, I'll get it tomorrow. I just started to walk away when I heard a voice behind me.
"Um, do you need something" asked an unfarmilier girl. She looked in her teens, and she had a british accent.
"Well, aren't you...closed?" I asked in surprise. The once pitch-black room was now bright, the "closed" sign was now read "open".
How bizzare.
"Nope! Now come in, come in!" she told him. I stepped inside the quaint store. There were wall-to-wall shelves lined with books ranging from cooking to adult novels.
"Um, do you have a copy of Wuthering Heights?" I asked her. Her eyes widened. She mumbled something that he didn't catch.
"Pardon?"
"Oh! Nothing, nothing." she fast-walked over to the classics section. She pulled out a nice looking copy of the book and placed it in my hands.
"This what you're looking for?" she barely whispered.
"Uh, yea. That'll do." I looked at her strangley. Where had I seen this girl before?
"Well, let me check you out! I mean-not like that...um, you know..." she stammered.
"Yea, I gotcha." I gave her a comferting smile. She seemed to be having a bad day or something. Poor girl. While she scanned the bar code, I stared at her.
"Um, what did you say your name was?" I asked her in curiosity.
"Yo didn't. But it's Bella. Bella Swan." she said. Bella Swan...the name sounded so farmilier.
"Right, well I'm Edward Cullen." I introduced.
"Well I guess I'll see you around, Edward." she blushed when she said my name. "I just moved here so I'll be going to your school. Forks High, right?" she guessed.
"Yep. I suppose I will see you there. Have a nice night." I walked out of the store with my book and headed home. Suddenly, I remember I forgot my receit. I turn around...only to run smack-dab into Bella.
"Oh! Sorry, you forgot this..." She put the receit in my hands.
"Right! Thanks." With that, I hurried home.
Okay...that was strange.
Could it be that she had a crush on him? No, she had just met him...but still, she had definetly acted like something was going on between them. Let's just say t freaked my out.
Finally, I reached my house. I stepped in the door, and said hello to my parents before heading up the stairs to my room. Exausted from the long day with his sister and Jasper he fell into a deep sleep the second his head hit the pillow.
He dreampt of her.
Rosalie Hale. The prettiest girl in school. He'd had a major crush on her since the kindergarden, when she shared her crayons with him. She was single for now, and he planned to ask her to the movies this Friday, along with Alice and Jasper. He could only hope that he asked her before his cousin, Emmet could. He also had a crush on Rosalie, and needless to say, he was high in the good-looking department. Not that Edward wasn't either...but still.
Tomorrow held a surprise even his futrue-telling mother couldn't have predicted.
