A/n I only use the lines I need from the book and nothing more.
Disclaiming already: don't own twilight.
Chapter 2: Take it from someone who knows
Well, the morning came and gave me a warm feeling inside. I looked out, and you should never over estimate pathetic fallacy. The weather reflected my mood and it was sunny and warm. I put on my deep blue strappy top and some ¾ jeans. I never wore make up, so I saw no reason to start now.
Living with Charlie, was very much like living in my own place. He went to work early and came home late, and all the hours in between I felt like a woman living alone. Ate a pop tart and headed off to school. I was out the front door and about to go to my car when I stopped and noticed a shiny Volvo. And sitting on the bonnet of it was none other than eye popping Edward Cullen. "Would you care to ride with me today?" he asked politely. Boy would I ever. "Ok" he opened my door for me and ran to the other side. He drove quite fast and we got to school on time. Again he opened my door for me.
"So what have you got first?" I asked him curious. Today I would find out as much about him as possible. "Biology, same as you." He smirked. It was so like me to be ditzy at times. "Oh yeah" I said laughing. Realization hit. I was walking with the most popular boy in school. Everyone turned to look at us as we walked in and many of the girls looked like they would kill me if they had the chance. "Where's Emmet? Don't you usually share lifts?" I asked noticing the quiet around me and wanting to not think about the killer glances. A phrase popped into my head if looks could kill.
"Well yeah, and so does Jazz, Rose and Alice, but they all took Rose's car. Speak of the devils, and they will appear." He looked dead when he said that. He turned us around to see a red BMW driving into school. All the boys flocked around them to look at the car. "Ostentatious don't you think?" he said looking deep into my eyes. I was stunned. They were more beautiful then I realized yesterday. They melted away all the nerves I realized I was feeling from everyone staring. We carried on into school. "So are they all your siblings?" I asked what was on my mind, before someone well dazzled me. "Yep. We all get on fine. You've met Emmet, Rosalie is vain, Jasper has a strategic mind, and Alice is well annoying, but so sweet. You'll get along great with them." He said calming me. "So there are plans for me to meet them then." I questioned. He looked shocked in a lighthearted way. "Oh yes" we got to class.
I'd already done the cellular anatomy in advanced placement in Phoenix, but I didn't feel like telling Edward- my lab partner- that. I'll just wow him and see what happens. Mr. Banner came in and handed out microscopes and cell slides mixed up in a box. He said we had to put them into a correct order. "Ladies first" Edward said smiling. I took the first slide, clipped it into place and took the most fleeting glance I could manage. "Prophase" I concluded.
"Mind if I check?" he said arrogantly and took the microscope. "Dang you were right" he said and clicked his fingers in annoyance. I bumped my shoulder against his and said "Not funny" but he laughed anyway. It was more theatrical then actual humour though.
"Anaphase" he said while I was pondering the feeling I got from nudging him. "Mind if I check, I said in a voice equal to what his was. "You're wrong, it's actually anaphase." I stated. He played along. "No, no, that can't be right because I thought it was anaphase."
"Anaphase, oh I thought you said anaphase. Yes well in that case you're right it is anaphase." I finished. We both laughed and scored some weird looks from the class. I couldn't stop my self from giggling at their expressions.
When the bell rang, Edward stood up and walked me to my next class though he wasn't in it. He ran his hand down my check bone and walked off. It was Spanish and I sat next to a girl called Jessica. I think I sat next to her in music. Either way she was totally at ease with me. I had sat with her at lunch yesterday. "Hey Bella. You know for music, I think im gonna ask sir if I can do the closing spot. You see me and Edward are sort of a thing and there would be that chemistry that you can't imagine." She kept rambling on, so obviously she hadn't seen me and Edward in the lot this morning. All though, if Edward was a player it would make sense. Jessica could also be delusional. But I felt sad at Jessica if she was lying or telling the truth.
Spanish passed and I thought about asking one of my new friends what she thought about Edward. Angela Weber. Very sweet and lovely girl. She won't say a bad thing about a fly. Walking out of Spanish I saw Edward leaning against the wall. I walked right by him, and he looked heart broken. Of course Jessica started talking to him, but I couldn't tell what they were saying. I stopped Angela in the middle of the corridor. "Hi Ang, sorry I know this is sudden, but what is Edward Cullen like?" she saw I was panicked and so hurried to tell me. "He's lovely. Jess keeps trying to go out with him but he says no. He doesn't take to anyone really." I was relieved "Thanks" I ran back down the hall getting weird looks and I tried to catch up with which way Edward went. I found him and grabbed his arm.
He spun and looked gloomy. Once he saw me he turned away again but I pulled him back again. "Look, Edward I'm really sorry. I thought that, well I didn't know what to think, it's just Jess said some things- "What did she say?" he seemed angry. "Well only that you two were a thing, and you had chemistry and that's why she wanted closing spot with you." I stopped because he looked angry. "And you believed her?" he was trying hard to control his voice. "Look. I've been here one day and I knew nothing about you even though I trust you. So I asked Angela Weber just now, and she confirmed what I thought. Im sorry I listened to Jessica." I was sad now, but he was disgusted. "Never listen to her! She's tried on numerous occasions to get me, and failed each time. And now by deluding herself, she almost took you away from me." He was calming now, but it wasn't fast enough. I hugged him around his waist. And he kissed my hair. "Don't worry about her." I soothed. He was relaxed now.
"Why don't you sit with me and my family today?" we went to the cantina and I only got a soda. Why in the world should I be nervous about meeting his family? Because they were perfect that's why. Jasper, the other male, had honey blonde hair that was limp, but attractive none the less. You could see all the wounds he got from his childhood. Rosalie – the one I noticed driving this morning- had golden locks which were to her waist. She looked over confident. This left Alice. A short girl with pixie black hair and she seemed lively. All were insanely beautiful, and could be models for anything. There wouldn't be a door unopened by that degree of beauty.
Me and Edward went to sit between Jasper and Alice. I was by Alice and Edward by Jazz – as he calls him. Around the table clockwise, it went Me, Ed, Jazz, Rose, Em, Alice. "Hey Bella!" Emmet boomed. "Not fallen over today then yet?" he laughed and the table laughed with him. I flushed red. "Aww, knock it off Emmet" Alice said and she hugged me. "Nice to meet the girl who had finally captured the interest of our little Eddykins." She said. Edward aimed a kick at her, but it got me instead. My eyes watered but I didn't cry out. "See, you've made her cry now" Jazz said to Emmet. I shook my head. "I was fine until Edward kicked me." I said laughing through the pain. Cries of 'Edward' went around the table. Jasper had hit him on the side of his head.
His face went white. "Im so sorry Bella, I really didn't mean to, I was trying to get Alice but it got you, im so, so sorry. Really I am." He said so fast over and over. I finally cover his mouth with my hand, but then he just mumbled it through that too. We all laughed. They were all really nice. "So what brings you to Forks?" Rose asked. I dove into my story about mom and Phil (Same as in the book) and Edward kept making false assumptions about me until he got it all. We got up to go to music and Edward saw the bruise that he had inflicted. He was horrified. It was just so big. "Ha ha, don't worry. I'm a walking accident. That to me is a small bruise." I laughed, not lying, but resourcefully sparing the truth. I had bigger after a day of gym with Renee –my mom. I had to do 65 lunges with 10lbs in each hand.
He was worried if I could walk ok and then I saw Jess looking betrayed. I decided to play it up. I might be shy, but im cunning too! I took one step on it. "Ouch" I fell but Edward caught me like I knew he would. He saw my face didn't show the pain my voice did. He was confused but then saw Jessica and got it. His voice was a little louder now. "Darling I'm so sorry. Maybe I should carry you to Music." He loved this, and so did the rest of his family. "I'll be too heavy for you." Playing the protesting woman would work lovely. He scooped me up into his arms. Our faces were barely inches away.
We walked past Jessica like this, and the rest of the Cullen's were laughing so hard, that everyone was looking at them weird. They knew all about Jess's attempts no doubt. Jess followed with a down beat Mike all the way to Music keeping up the constant. "Are you all rights? Can I get you anything? If it's bad enough for you to be carried maybe you should go to the nurse's office." Edward got bored with her but I kept whispering loud enough for Jess to hear. "I'm sorry you have to carry me. If your arms get tired you can always put me down. Thanks Edward." At that last one, I stroked this face. He smiled wickedly at me and then ran with me to music.
He sat me down on a chair and then kissed my bruise. "I'll carry you to the rest of your lessons all day. I hate seeing you hurt." He wasn't playing now. He was deadly serious. And I really cared about him too. I loved him, even after this small space of time. He sat next to me and held my hand. Mr. Baker came in and smiled when he saw me and Edward on such goo terms. "Miss Swan and Mr. Cullen you two will be performing in the closing act at the end of the show." Jess interrupted him. "What?! But she didn't even ask to be in it." She was fuming. I took her fancy man and now her performance. "Well I saw them performing together last night, and Isabella has a very good voice." He was stern about this point. "Actually sir I prefer Bella." I looked down form his gaze. "Well it's irrelevant. Bella and Edward shall be closing the show-end of. Also I would like Lauren and Eric to do a duet at the start of the show." He continued. But I couldn't care less. Edward was beaming at me and tightened his grip on my hand. More pulses were felt. I could feel his heartbeat and he could feel mine. We were happy in our own little space of us.
The bubble was broke though when Mike came over at the end of lesson. "Hey. Edward, I thought since your arms must be tired, I could carry Bella for a bit." Edward had a penetrating gaze that was final. "I'm sorry but In Bella's case, where I am able to do the job my self, I will. Good day." He finished with a spiteful pleasantry and returned focus to me. "If it makes things easier, I could always walk – with your support. I need to stretch it out." I said not wanting any more Mikes to come over and be chivalrous. When he walked away Edward whispered. "I really hate that guy. Your clearly mine – not that I consider you a possession in any way- but still he wont give it up!" I laughed at him and stood up. He got up quickly to support my waist and carry my bag. Edward called me his!!! He really does like me and that proved it. I smiled the whole way to R.E and he skimmed my cheek again when he left.
