"Ohh Eddie! Kiss me in the rain, its sooo romantic!" Callie yelled as she stepped out from the crowded tunnels.
Alice and I had congregated right before lunch in front of my 4th period. We had to wait (and watch) until Rosalie and Jacob got here so she could hear how 3rd period went.
"You're so cute…" Edward smiled as he stepped out and kissed her.
Some onlookers (*cough suck ups) were all "aw" and then there were some with actual brains that were totally grossed out.
The most annoying part was hearing her complain about how her hair was getting messed up. I just stood there like "wow. Then don't go out in the rain dummy."
"Bella, pass me that trash can," Alice said laughing. I laughed along with her, and Edward looked back to see who made the joke.
He saw us laughing and pushing the trashcan back and forth to each other.
I guess he didn't like that, because he hurried Callie towards the cafeteria, so "they could get a good seat."
Psh. Like I care.
Okay, so I do.
No I don't.
Yes I do.
No. I don't.
"BELLAAAAAA!!!!!!!" Rosalie, Jacob, and Alice were all standing in front of me as I had internal arguments with myself.
"Yeah what?" I asked.
"This girl is going crazy!" Rosalie yelled.
"Noooo she just needs food," Alice smiled while dragging my arm towards the cafeteria.
We got on line and I didn't realize till after I turned around who was standing next to me.
Edward…of course.
We both reached for the last apple but our hands touched.
"Ewww your hands are clammy," I joked. It was easy to be chill around Edward, maybe that's why he never knew I liked him.
I always tried to play it cool. After all, I've known him since we were little; it would be a little obvious if I got shy with him all of a sudden. And plus, most people that knew me around school knew I was pretty laidback about things. They don't know how much I freak out in my mind.
"Psh. I was in the rain, but you already knew that, joker," he said with his crooked smile.
"I'm sorry. Not everyone wants to watch you reenact The Notebook," I said. He took the apple and put it on my tray.
"Ouch," he smiled as he took the banana instead.
"Just stating the facts. You know you could've taken the apple. I'm more of a banana girl anyway," I switched fruit.
"So now you wanna take my banana, too? Jeeze Bella, can't I eat?" he teased.
"Alright, but any other time this would turn into an argument. The only reason why I'm not pressing it is because there are a lot of impatient, hungry people behind us," I pointed out as I switched the fruits back again.
He stretched backward to see the growing line.
"They can wait," he said coolly.
"Not everyone wants to wait on The Edward Cullen," I teased.
"Eww I hate when people say my full name. It's so annoying. No one calls me just Edward, or just Cullen," he complained while grabbing chocolate milk.
Is it bad to know he was going to pick Chocolate and not strawberry? Or vanilla? Or regular?
Does anyone else freak out about these things when they have a crush on someone???
"Oh so you're having a Ben Stiller complex," I said as if I was a therapist. I grabbed strawberry milk and moved on to the main course.
"Excuse me?" He asked confused.
"Well, you know how no one actually says just Ben or just Stiller? It's always Ben Stiller put together. He might as well make it one name. Like Benstiller. Or something," I said rambling.
"You're too complex, Bella," he said laughing "I just want people to call me just Edward," he said.
He grabbed 3 pizzas and paid for his food.
"You eat like a horse," I said. He smiled back.
I quietly thought about how simple minded he used to be.
"Mr. Edward Cullen, where have you been, I missed you…" Callie's voice came up behind us.
"I just saw you five minutes ago…" Edward said half laughing.
I coughed back a laugh as I paid for my food.
"What's your problem today, huh?" Callie said poking his shoulder blade.
That's something I forgot about. The constant picking of arguments when it came to their relationship.
How could someone who has the most perfect guy on Earth make things so unhappy for him? I would treat him like a king if he was MY boyfriend.
I turned around to face Callie and Edward.
"It was nice talking to you. Bye Just Edward," I gave him a friendly smile and turned to walk away.
He had the same smile on, too I guess reliving our new inside joke.
"What the hell was that…." I could hear Callie say in an upset tone as I walked towards our lunch table.
As I sat down one of Alice's eyebrows eyed me suspiciously.
"What?" I asked, taking a bite into my pizza.
"Okay, one. Do I need new glasses or were you just talking to Edward on that lunch line?"
"Yeah it was. I don't know we just ended up in the same line I guess," I shrugged it off.
"Sure. Okay and two, what happened to texting me during third, I had to pee so bad with anticipation!" she yelled.
"Oh, anticipation pee is the worst," Jacob said out of nowhere.
Rosalie, Alice, and I all turned to look at him. His random comment was kind of creepy, coming from a guy.
"What? Its true…it's like…I don't know. Pretend I didn't just say that," he said biting into his sub.
"Uh. Anyway," I said "I didn't get service that period. Sorry," I said apologetically.
"Oh my Godddd. The one time I actually need to find out details about everything that happens and you don't have service???" she said.
"Calm down, Alice. I wish I had service all the time, too. But I have freaking Verizon. It sucks," I complained.
"It's true. I mean seriously, I don't see a million people following me everywhere I go," Rosalie said while filing her nails.
"mebbe du shuh ket ay tee tee," Jacob said with his mouth full.
"Oh! Disgusting! I just saw the contents of that sandwich Jacob!" Alice said throwing a napkin in his face.
He swallowed hard and took a drink of his water.
"Sorry," he said wiping his mouth. The 'sorry' didn't sound very convincing.
"What did you say Jacob? I couldn't understand you," I said smiling.
"I SAID, that maybe you should get AT&T. I get service everywhere," he said.
"I doubt you get service EVERYWHERE," I said.
"Oh yeah? I bet you I could go study snowflakes on Mount Everest and STILL get service," he said smiling like he just won a race.
"Wow. That was so corny," Rosalie said looking up from the book she started reading.
"It probably would've been funny if it hadn't come from Jacob. Corny things only come from people who you expect to say corny things, if they're a legitimately funny person it would have been comical," I noted.
The bell rang right after my smart ass moment.
"Thank God," Jacob, Alice and Rosalie all said at once.
I threw them a "thanks a lot" look.
"Kidddinggg," Alice sang nervously.
We all laughed, and headed to the parking lot.
"Oh yeah, you didn't finish telling me what happened 3rd period," Alice reminded me.
"Actually nothing really happened 3rd period. I don't even think he realized I'm in the same class as him," I said.
"Laaaaameeeee," Alice drawled out.
"I guess. I'm kind of glad nothing happened though, it made all of the Anticipation Pee go away," I said smiling at Jacob. He looked proud of his new term.
Luckily, being juniors we didn't have to stay in school for more than our academic periods. So Jacob walked us to our car.
"It sucks I'm a sophomore. Seriously," he said.
"Aw, poor Jacob," I laughed. He rolled his eyes.
"We paid our dues, bitch, it's your turn haha," Rosalie laughed from her car.
"Sure sure, bye girls," Jacob said as he turned back towards the school.
"Bye Jake, see you later!" We all called. He smiled and disappeared into the school.
"Good kid, good kid," Alice joked as she started the engine.
"So where are we going? I don't want to go home just yet…" I said. She locked the doors and smiled.
"What did you do that for?" I said nervously.
"We're going to the mall…" she said smiling.
"How'd you know I would've thrown myself out of a moving vehicle?" I laughed, defeated.
"Actually I didn't think you would, this time," she said.
"Why is that?" I asked.
"Because Edward is right behind us, I think that would be a little embarrassing," she said.
I looked confused as I realized what she was saying. I turned my back to see a silver Volvo come up to our right side.
Edward turned and waved (subtly), but that quickly followed Callie's glare as she pushed herself forward to see who he was waving at.
Just for kicks, I waved at her, too. But she rolled her eyes.
"Are they going to the mall, too?" I asked.
"I think so…" Alice said.
"Well this should be interesting," I sighed.
