I do not own anything Twilight related. That is all Stephanie Meyer and god bless her for making Edward.
hope you guys enjoy it, if you don't, well, don't read it.
'This cannot be happening. This cannot be happening' I kept chanting in my head. I looked back from Alice to Edward. Alice smiled nervously, "Um, Edward this is my new friend Bella Swan, Bella this is my brother Edward."
He smiled the same cocky smile from the hallway as he stuck out his hand, "Hi Bella, it's nice to meet you." I looked down at his hand contemplating whether or not I should take it, when Mr. Wood called the class to attention. I let out a breath I hadn't known I'd been holding. I turned to the front of the class, wishing time by. I felt a feather light touch on my arm and saw Alice handing me a note. I opened it slowly afraid of what she might say.
Bella, I'm sorry for how my brother treated you. He's a nice person once you get to know him, I promise.
It's okay; I just assumed that you would be upset that I was talking badly of your brother.
No. You think you're the first one to ever talk shit about him. He's always like this at a new school: Bitter, hostile, and just plain mean.
Oh so it's not just me then?
No, you should spend the night with me sometime and see that he's not really that bad.
Okay when do you want me to come over?
How about tomorrow night?
Wow, that soon. Okay I'll just have to ask my mom and dad.
Sweet
She looked over at me and smiled. I smiled back timidly. I don't know how well this will go over with Edward, because I'm positive he doesn't like me. I started to zone out thinking about how much fun it will be to hang out with Alice, when I heard the bell ring. "So, Bella," Alice spoke, "do you want to sit with me and my family at lunch today?"
I looked at Edward, who was talking to Lauren and Jessica, smiling and laughing, "Yeah sure, sounds like fun." We walked out the class door and Jasper was waiting for Alice again.
"Hey Bella," Jasper said thoughtfully as he grabbed Alice's hand and we walked to lunch.
"Hey Jasper, how do you like Forks High so far?"
"It's pretty good, I haven't really made any new friends other than you, because I've been so busy trying to find my classes and such, but I like the teachers alright."
"Well that's a good thing." We had arrived to the cafeteria; Alice and Jasper grabbed a tray. I decided that I wasn't that hungry so I grabbed water and a ham and cheese sandwich. I looked at the people in the cafeteria and I saw Angela and Ben Cheney sitting together at the same table as Eric Yorkie, Jessica, Lauren, and Mike Newton. I waved at Angela and Ben, who waved back smiling. "Bella, were over here." I heard Alice say over the roar of the crowd. I followed behind them slowly careful not to trip. At the table where I would soon be sitting I saw a gorgeous blonde, who I assumed was Rosalie, and a very, very large boy sitting across from her, that had to be Emmett. Then to my discomfort there say Edward next to Rosalie. Alice went to sit next to Edward and Jasper across from her, so I took the sit in-between Emmett and Jasper.
Emmett and Rosalie both looked at Jasper and Alice with a, 'who the hell is this' face. Alice shrugged and said, "Emmett, Rose this is my new best friend Bella Swan."
"Hi," I said quietly.
"Hello," Rosalie said in a very smooth voice.
"Hi, I'm Emmett," He said in such a big booming voice, that I almost fell out of my seat. He
started laughing loudly and I could feel my cheeks getting redder.
"Oh Emmett seriously, leave the poor girl alone, can't you see your embarrassing her." Rosalie told him with a menacing look. Emmett stopped laughing but I could tell that he had to try very hard. I felt Edward staring at me, so I looked up reflexively. I shouldn't have because his green eyes had me hypnotized. "Bella, Bella?" I felt a nudge on my arm and looked to Jasper, "have you heard a single thing we've asked you?"
I felt my face getting red all over again, "No, I'm sorry." Emmett started to chuckle again.
"Well Alice told me that she asked you to spend the night tomorrow night, and she forgot that it was the night that we are fixing the basement up, and well we were just wondering if you'd want to spend the night tonight?"
Everyone tilted his or her heads towards me. I saw Edward raise his eyebrow and look at me questioningly. I thought for a moment if I had any other plans. "Well sure I'd love to, but I'll have to ask my parents."
"YAY!" Alice practically screamed causing my ever-annoying blush to rear it's ugly head once again. I saw Emmett chuckle quietly. We sat there talking about our classes and teachers, when it was time to go to 6th period, Alice gave me her phone number so I could call her later and let her know if I could spend the night. As I was walking to class, I realized someone was walking behind me. I stopped and turned to see who it was, when I was met with a hard, good smelling, chest.
"You know if I didn't know any better, I'd think you like being all over me."
I looked up into his dazzling green eyes, "Oh yes, Edward, all I think about is touching you. I can't believe you figured me out," I said with such heavy sarcasm, "why are you following me?"
"I'm not following you, my class is this way." He said with the slightest humor on his face. I was officially getting annoyed and was about to say so when I heard the bell go off signaling class had started. We both started running for our next class. I saw my teacher's classroom door and grabbed the door handle to get to class, but then I felt a hand on mine. I looked up only to find the hand belonged to none other than Edward Cullen.
"You've got to be kidding me." I said slowly.
Edward smiled slow and lazy, "Well are you going to go in, or are you just going to miss the whole class?" I took me a minute to realize we were still in the hallway. I then shook off my daze and opened the door.
"How nice of you two to finally join us," Mr. Bower said light heartedly, "Names?"
"Bella Swan."
"Edward Cullen." I felt Edward looking at me and I could feel the beginnings of a blush creeping up my neck.
"Well Mrs. Swan, Mr. Cullen, I hope you two can get along, because we only have one more table top left, since you all were running behind." I sighed; this class couldn't possibly get any worse. That was until I saw Mike Newton at the table in front of the only empty tabletop, where I was assuming Edward and I had to sit together. Mike has had a creepy crush on me since middle school, and always insisted on talking to me. I walked slowly back to the table and sat my things down as Edward did the same beside me. I kept my head down and tried not to make eye contact, so Mike wouldn't consider it an invitation.
I felt something slip under my arm and discovered it was a note.
You know, you're pretty cute, in a whole shy little girl kind of way.
I looked up at Edward and cocked an eyebrow.
Thanks jack hole.
I passed the note back and he laughed, but managed to cover it with a cough.
To good to use dirty words there Swan.
I was starting to get mad so I just shoved the note in my book and didn't bother writing back. He nudged me a couple times, but I didn't look up at him. I just acted like he wasn't even there, and paid attention to Mr. Bower, who actually seemed like he was going t be a pretty cool teacher. The class started to feel like it was going to drag on, when the bell rang. I heard Edward grabbing his stuff when Mike came up to me. "Hey, Bella, did you have a nice summer?"
I pasted on the best fake smile I could and answered him point blank, "Yes, it was a nice summer." He obviously didn't take the hint, because he kept talking about his summer and how he missed me. Then I felt an arm cover my shoulders. I looked up to see Edward smiling brightly down at me, holding my books.
"Come on sweetheart, or were going to be late for our next class," He said smoothly. I was so shocked I didn't know what to say. I looked at Mike, who was still trying to pull his jaw off the ground, as Edward steered me towards the door. Once we were in the hallway I snagged my books away from Edward, I was fuming.
"Who do you think you are?" I asked angrily.
"The guy who just saved you from the creep ass staring at you like you were a steak." E answered defensively.
"Well, thank you very much, I don't need your help, I can take care of myself, and now, thanks to you, by the end of the day, everyone will really think you're my boyfriend." I answered breathlessly as we started to walk to our classes.
"Oh, like that could make your reputation bad, I mean I am the hottest guy at this school." He said very cockily.
"Yeah, whatever, you are not the hottest guy in this school, and I'd rather date a dog than even think about dating you." I said as I turned to head towards Gym. I barely made it to class, before the alarm sounded again. To top it all off this wasn't a class for freshman only. This class was mixed with kids from every grade. I blushed lightly as I went to sit on the bleachers. I saw Jessica and Lauren sitting together.
As I passed them I heard Lauren smirk, "So Bella, I hear you have a boyfriend?" She started laughing loudly at that. Just as I was about to tell her how I felt about my new 'boyfriend' I felt a rather large presence behind me. Both Lauren and Jessica stopped laughing, and there mouths were literally hanging open. I started to turn and see who it was, but I was then lifted and gripped in a tight bear hug.
"Emmett?" I asked hopefully.
"Bella?" he said with the same tone.
He put me down and I took a deep breath. He laughed loudly and touched my cheeks. "You get embarrassed to easily." He said simply. He gave the girls a dirty look. "Would you like to come sit with me and Rose?" He asked simply as he gesture to the end of the bleachers. I looked and saw Rose smiling at me.
"Sure, I'd love to." We walked over to Rose and sat down.
"Hey Bella, how's your day been so far?"
I thought back on everything that had happened, "Could be worse, and yours?"
"Pretty good, although some of the girls here are just…" she let the sentence trail on. "That girl you were just talking to, why did you look so upset."
"Oh you noticed that, huh?" she just stared at me waiting for me to continue, so I went on, "Well she hasn't like me since the dude she's been crushing on asked me to the Sweetheart dance a few years ago, and she doesn't let me forget it."
Rose started to look a little upset, "So she's upset because a boy chose you over her?" I thought I heard a whispered 'Uh-oh' come from Emmett. "Well how is that your fault, it's not like you like the boy am I right?" I'm guessing the question was rhetorical because she kept going on. "You shouldn't be blamed because she's just so…" She sighed, "Let me handle this." Rosalie stood up and walked to where Lauren and Jessica were sitting. "Alright listen here you hair dying, stuck up little I'm so perfect brat," at this point everyone was staring because nobody had ever talked to Lauren that way, "If I ever hear about you being a bitch to my friend Bella again, I will personally tear you to shreds and stomp you in the ground, and by the time I'm done with you not even God will recognize you." At this point I could see Lauren shaking from where I was sitting. Everyone was looking back and forth between Rose and Lauren. "Do you understand me?" I saw Lauren nod her head quickly. Rose walked back over looking extremely mad and her face was beat red.
Once she sat back down next to Emmett she sat back down and asked, "So do you think we'll have to dress out today? Because I just don't think I could handle that on the first day." My face must have mirrored the shock I felt, because Emmett burst out laughing, and Rosalie smirked. By the time Coach Bennett came Emmett had tears trickling down his cheeks.
To Rosalie's satisfaction we didn't have to dress out for the first couple days until we got all our papers signed and went over everything. Soon enough it was time to go home. "Bella, don't forget to see if you can come over tonight," I heard Rosalie yell as she got into a very nice looking car.
"I wont," I hollered in response. I smiled as I thought about the friends I'd made today. Then I frowned at the thought of Edward. He was breathtakingly beautiful, but something about him just got under my skin. Maybe it was the fact that he was so arrogant and cocky. I hadn't realized my mom had pulled up until she honked and waved. As soon as I got in the car she drilled me with questions like 'how was it' 'did you like your classes' 'did you like your teachers'. When we finally got home and she'd stopped asking me questions, I told her about the Cullen's and the Hale's. She was really excited when I told her what Rose said to Lauren, minus the cursing. Then I asked her if I could spend the night.
"Well of course you can dear. Do you know where they live?"
"Well," I thought, "no, I don't, but I can call Alice and find out." I grabbed the phone and dialed the number Alice gave me.
The phone rang a few times until a very attractive voice answered the phone, "Hello."
"Hello, may I talk to Alice please?"
"Is this Bella?"
"Yes, Edward, this is Bella now may I please speak with Alice?" I asked as nicely as possible.
"I don't know Bella. You were awfully rude to me earlier." I heard the smugness in his voice. Then I heard Alice in the background.
"Edward? Is that Bella on the phone?"
"Maybe."
"Well then give it here."
"I'm busy talking to her right now, come back later."
"Edward if you don't give me that phone right now, I will make photo copies of every picture from…" I heard the phone shuffle.
"Bella?" I heard Alice speaking into the phone.
"Yeah, it's me."
"Okay, sorry about that, I don't know what's gotten into him lately." She paused for a moment, "Did you ask if you could come over and spend the night?"
"That's actually why I'm calling," I said, "How do you get to your house?" Alice gave me directions to her house, which I wrote down word for word, and told her I would be there in about fifteen minutes. When I hung up I packed an overnight bag with clothes to sleep in and clothes I would wear to school the following day, along with my personal necessities, such as a toothbrush and deodorant. Then soon enough we were on our way to the Cullen's.
