AN:Previously, Bella & Charli were talking before class about a new family students that have just entered the school. Charli mentioned that the whole school was falling for the youngest brother Edward. Bella decided that they must be arrogant, but when she ran into Edward & saw him, she realised that she was falling under his spell too..
Thanks for the reviews & Alerts.. I'm glad you liked the last chapter.. Enjoy!! :)
What is it about this guy that has all the girls going ga ga? I mean, sure he's gorgeous but there is more to it than that.. steals a quick glance at him oh my gosh, those topaz eyes, so molten & penetrating, like he can see deep into my soul. he looked up at me then, I looked away embarrassed. I could feel the blood colour my cheeks.
"is something wrong?" He asked me.
"umm.. no, nothing.. sorry.." why did I apologize? Ahh!!
"for what?"
"umm.." I was blushing more now, I could feel it.. "nothing, don't worry"
He laughed "you're quite peculiar, mysterious even" Me? Mysterious? What is he stupid??
"On the contrary actually, my friends tell me that I'm very predictable. That I'm very easy to read.."
"No I disagree.. I'm normally quite good at reading people but I can't even begin to figure you out." Oh really now?? He can't figure me out? Hmm… interesting..
"Well at least its an even playing field. I can't figure you out either." I said cheekily. He laughed again. "no one ever can…" he said. This made me curious, more than before.
"we'll see about that…" I challenged. "will we??" he retorted, sounding surprised. I giggles "yep. See now you've made me curious.. Now I guarantee, I will figure you out." I had always been very persistent.
"I wish you wouldn't…" this shocked me, what did he mean by that? What was he hiding? My curiosity flared "why is that?"
"Mine is not a very interesting story.." Not an interesting story? Hah! Yea.. I'm sure of that!!
"the most interesting stories, are the ones we keep to ourselves.." I said, trying to sound witty & smart. It seemed to work, at least he didn't give me the 'yea right' look.
"Maybe for most people.. but I'm not most people.." again with the crypticism. "I've noticed.." I replied being cheeky again
"have you? What have you noticed?" he sounded worried, as if I had uncovered a huge secret.
"I've noticed that you have made almost every girl in the school swoon over you.. I imagine that at lunch you'll be surrounded by girls asking you all about your 'not so interesting story'.. & guys glaring you from across the cafeteria." I could see it now.. He laughed at this. "like you said.. it's the first day.. they'll settle down with time.. I'm just a new face I s'pose.. but I'll bet you have formed quite an army of admirers yourself.." Oh my god is he blind? Or just delusional??
"Me?? HAH! That's funny!"
"am I wrong?" he sounded shocked and baffled. It seems he is both..
"by a mile!" I replied simply.. I had never had many admirers.. except if you count Mike, he had liked me in Pre-school. He is one of my friends now, but Charli thinks he still likes me.. I think she's crazy. Pre-school was more than 10 years ago. I think he would've moved on by now…
"hmm.. we'll see about that.." Edward said then, pulling me back from memory lane.. almost like as if he was answering my thoughts.. then I remembered what I had just said to him.. but I was still confused.. what did he mean by that?
"what is that supposed to mean?"
"nothing.." he said, grinning, then the Bell rang. I packed up quickly "well see you later Edward" I said politely as I turned toward the door.
"uhh.. Bella?" Edward's Voice came from behind me
I turned around quickly to face him "Yes?"
"would you mind terribly if I sat with you at lunch?" his question shocked me. I didn't really want him & all his 'fans' to sit with me at lunch.. but I didn't want to be rude to a new student.. what do I say?
I sighed, If I say yes Charli will be thrilled. Fine.. but she Owes me!!
"sure.." I said, then I edited.. "just as long as you don't bring the fan club.." I turned and walked out the door to find Charli running toward me.. she must have already found out about my 'new lab partner'
"Bella!! OH MY GOD!! What does he look like?? Did you talk to him? TELL ME EVERYTHING!!"
" Hey Charli, wow!! Calm down.. yea I guess he's good looking.. yea I talked to him.. He's my lab partner.." she would scream again.. I knew she would.. true enough.. I was covering my ears now
"OMG!! Edward Cullen is your lab partner?? Aahhhh!! Tell me everything!!"
"oh gosh Charli come on.. it's no big deal really…"
"no big deal?? Bella!! Come on please.. tell me EVERYTHING!!"
"why don't you ask Edward at lunch.. he's sitting with us.."
"what?? OMG!! Really?? Aahhhh!! Thank you Bella!! Thank you thank you!!" She hugged me so tight I could barely breathe! Who knew she was so strong??
"ahh.. ok Charli.. you're welcome!! You're choking me!!"
"oh sorry!! Thank you Bella!! You're the best…"
"yea yea.. I know.. anyway I gotta get to class.. see you at lunch.." I said as a I rushed off to class
"Ok.. Bye!! Thank you!!" Charli yelled after me
As I reached class it was still empty. I sat down at a table and started to prepare for English, taking out my folder and turning to a blank page.
Before I knew it, someone was sitting next to me.. I didn't bother to look up.. I just continued doodled on my notebook.
"so we meet again.." A familiar voice said. I looked up to see Edward winking at me.. two classes in a row?? Wow!!
AN: Hope you liked it.. :) Please let me know of any suggestions :)
