So the 2nd chapter. I wonder what you think → let me know :) Chapter song: can't help falling in love by Ingrind Michaelson
First day school went by pretty quickly. We just got our schedules and than had a slow start with the lessons. In forth lesson we had English. I sat beside Rosalie and Alice sat right behind me, with Alisson a girl from our clique. Mr. Rainer told us what we're going to do this year and then someone knocked on the door and came in. He was a fucking gorgeous guy. I guessed, that this had to be oh-so famous Edward Cullen. Every girl in school was talking about him, but just a girl called Sarah has ever seen him. He had bronze hair, was pale like me (the year in California didn't change much) and tall. And the contrast between paleness and bronze hair showed his green eyes so hypnotizing.
Don't dwell on his appearance! My self-conscious screamed.
Mr. Rainer showed him a seat for him to sit and continued with his speech (By the way, Edward sat at the table right beside mine). He told us what we're going to do this year. I was pretty excited, because we were going to read pride and prejudice. I've already read that book like hundred times, but every time it appeared to be even better than the last time. It's like every time you read it, you recognize always more things and mysteries than the last time. Amazing. Well anyways, Mr. Rainer give out every one each a book. Until he realized he didn't have enough books – for Edward, so he asked me, if I could give him my book because I've read it anyways. He said, he would order another one, but until then I'd have to give Edward mine. I was content about it.
After the lesson Edward came to me.
"Hi."
"Hi." He looked awhile in my eyes and I was a little bit intimidated by him, but I was also staring into his emerald green eyes. Well, wow, who would have known that eyes could be THAT appealing? Finally he started to speak.
"Er, is it alright, that I have your book? I mean, wouldn't you like to read it too? I've read it anyway." I was stunned and couldn't form a word. He said he read the book. HE. READ. THE. BOOK. How rarely does happen that a GUY reads pride and prejudice?
He started to look confused. I'd have to say something. ANYTHING.
Remember, try to act cool!
"Er, of course you can. I've read it hundred times." I laughed. He laughed to. Wow, I was going to melt to the sound he made.
"Okay. Thank you."
"You're welcome." Wow, what was that? This was SO NOT cool. Dammit.
"Earth to Bella. I repeat Earth to Bella. Are you there?"
"Wh... What?"
"Bella, what happened right now?"
"I... I don't know."
ACT COOL AND CALM!
"Er. Nothing?"
"Yeah. Whatever." I guess, I wasn't that convincing.
"Bella. What about a beach party holiday at the weekend?"
"Wow, that would be a great idea!" Alisson shouted. God, this girl was every bit like Alice. So hyperactive. One Alice is enough and now we have two. I rolled my eyes.
"Er, sure? But where? And we don't have a house to sleep in."
"Well actually we have. We can go altogether to the vacation home from Rose's parents at Pebble Beach."
hmm... I wonder who's going to come with us. And this is going to be fun, I know!
"Alright. But how many people and who is going to come with us. And when are we going? This weekend?"
"Er. Me, Emmett, Rose, Jasper, Alisson, You, Mike, Tyler, Eric, Jessica, maybe the new guy, Lauren. Well I guess that's it. This weekend should be good, you know to say goodbye to the vacations."
Suddenly I had a idea. I could ask Angela, whether she would like to come with us. It would be good to have someone to talk with. REALLY talk.
"Hm. Sounds like a plan. But can I invite someone?"
"Sure, Bella. Oh can you ask Edward, whether he would like to come with us too? It seems like you already had a conversation with him.", then she started to walk to her next class, before I even was able to say no and shouted, "thank you!"
Ohh, this little pixie. She was going to be the death of me.
Next lesson, French. I loved it. But guess who was in my class? Edward. Anyways now I could ask him about the weekend.
Madame Dupont, our french teacher, told us that we were going to learn passé composé. I already knew how this worked, so I didn't have to pay to much attention. In Forks I always had A grades so school was really no problem for me.
The moment I came in French class Madame Dupont greeted me and asked me how my vacation was. I replied, "Very well, Madame. Merci." and grinned like a fool.
She grinned back and said, "Quel plaisir." and then to all of the students "Put out your french books and sit down."
While Madame Dupont was leading her lesson I was admiring Edward. He really was beautiful. But just beauty wasn't enough. He had to have a brain which is working pretty good. He should be smart and not just live on the surface. He should be able to come with me to the deeep oceans of live.
WAIT! How did that thought came out of nowhere? Why did I think that? There was no possibility that he could be HIM, could it?
NO! My self-conscious screamed. Right. My self-conscious is right. No possibility. No!
You don't even know him! Continued my self-conscious. I believed her. Well I tried to. She's always right. Or..? NO she is always right. Stop it. Distract yourself!
Meanwhile Madame Dupont asked "So what is the particip passé of être?"
I hold out my hand and Madame said, "Bella."
"Madame, it's été."
"Beautiful. Thank you, Bella." I grinned. I loved French.
I throw a glance over to Edward who was watching me with awe. My grin just became brighter.
EPOV
Is this girl for real? I mean, she seems to be very smart. Wait wrong. She is beautiful and smart. How great is THAT? And the way she spoke French. Wow. My whole body reacted to that one. I glanced at her with awe. Is this girl perfect or does she have flaws? Just when I was watching her, she looked also to me. Just another thing that's great → her eyes. So deep and chocolate brown. I could lose myself in them. Like a deep ocean with brown. Amazing. And the way her beautiful brown curls were. I'd like to put my hand in them and just enjoy the feeling...
After the lesson as I was about to go she came to me. I looked at her expectantly. At first she was standing there and looking at me.
"Er... Well would you like a tour through the school?" what? That wasn't what I expected.
"Sure. Thank you"
"Okay. At first let's go to the audio center."
"Audio center?"
"Yes, kind of a class for music lessons. There's a piano where you can play with in you free time. Oh do you play an instrument?" I grinned. I was in my element.
"Yes, I do."
"Oh wow. How long have you been playing?"
"For about 10 years?"
"Wow, that's impressing."
We reached the audio center and entered it.
"Would you like to play for me?"
"Of course." I beamed a smile, took her hand and lead us to the piano. I sat us down and started to play my favorite piece.
While I played I watched her. She was impressed I knew. The sound of piano filled the whole space. It felt very romantic. Then the piece was at his end and I was going to lean down and kiss her. BUT the bell rang. Good timing, I thought to myself.
"What class do you have now?" I asked, determined to make her talk with me, no matter what. I loved the melodic sound her voice made. And then, it came to me. She must be an angel. An angel sent to me. An angel with brown, long curls and deep brown eyes and a skin oh-so beautiful pale and like cream.
"Er.. Maths. And you?"
"I also have maths!" I wished we'd have the same class with the same teacher.
"With Mr. Cox?"
"Yes, you too?"
"yes!"
"Okay then let's go together." I stood up and helped her also to stand up.
"Soo..." I looked at her, again expectantly.
"Edward, would you like to come with us at this following weekend to the Pebble Beach?"
I was stunned. SHE. ASKED. ME. TO. COME. WITH. HER.
"Er... Sure."
"Great. For more details you'll have to ask Alice. She planned everything." She laughed to a secret joke, but I don't asked why.
