Disclaimer: I do not own anything
Yeah, I know this chapter isn't original or anything, and its rather boring, but I need to describe her meeting Edward. (Gasp! Did I tell you what will happen? Well, you don't know that she will also meet Rosalie and Jasper. Oh, I am so sneaky!) Yeah, you might want to ignore my author's notes if you have anything better to do. Like read the chapter. So, without further ado, chapter two: (hey, it rhymes!)
I turned and waved at her, and then noticed that she was talking to the single most gorgeous guy to ever walk the planet.
Throughout my teenage years, I had seen so many pictures of the gorgeous celebrity God, and all the films he had been in. But no picture could do Edward Masen justice. He had messy bronze hair that was cut short and lit up his features. His features included a perfectly sized nose, beautiful lips, high cheekbones, and the most amazing emerald green eyes. I found myself getting lost in his eyes, and didn't seem to realize that he was looking back at me. But then, why would a beautiful famous actor be looking anywhere near someone like me? I had never even had a boyfriend.
Edward was talking quietly to Jessica, and she glanced at me with a curious expression before turning back to the human god. He said something that made her frown in confusion, until understanding brightened up in her eyes. Then she turned back to me with a furious glare. I wondered what he had said, and why she was so mad.
"Oh my gosh," Katie murmered, as if to herself, "Edward Masen is staring at you, Bella." he voice held a note of jealousy in it.
I laughed almost hystericly, "Don't be silly. Why would Edward Masen be staring at me?" it was supposed to be a rhetorial question.
Angela giggled, "He must find you attractive. Oh, the cheerleaders are so jealous."
Indeed, the table of stick-thin blondes were all glaring at me, except Alice Cullen who was chatting as animatedly as ever to Jasper Hale. Jasper was very attractive in the blonde hair blue eyes sort of way, and he seemed very amused by Alice. His sister, Rosalie, was as equisite as everyone claimed, but her attention was completely taken by Emmet Cullen. I could barely care what the Hales looked like though, when Edward was sitting at their table, still staring at me.
He said something more to Jessica, and she looked glum as she responded in her high pitched voice, and then turned to the Hales to say something. Jasper and Rosalie looked up at her, and then stood up at the same time as Edward and Jessica did. Alice looked alarmed and leapt up, Emmet a step behind her. Then, the six of them headed over to my table, attracting the stares of the entire cafeteria.
"He is coming to meet you, Bella." Tyler noticed, his eyes as wide as saucers.
I gulped, and looked down self-consiously at my outfit. It was a usual outfit for me; dark wash jeans, my favourite blue sweater, and white sneakers. My hair was in a pony tail, and I realized what I must look like to the designer clothed actors.
Jasper had a pair of kaki shorts, and a red surfer shirt. Rosalie was wearing a skin-tight red skirt, and a blue tube top with a tiny white shrug covering her shoulders. And Edward had on black pants and a tight blue shirt that nicely showed his muscles. Everything they wore looked brand new and incredibly expensive.
Jessica stopped before my table, flipping her curly hair around nervously, "Um, hey guys. I thought I would introduce you to the new students." she started, not meeting my eyes, "So this is Rosalie Hale, Jasper Hale, and Edward Masen." as if we didn't all know.
Angela smiled at them all, and stood up to shake their hands, "Hi! Welcome to Forks High. I'm Angela, and this is Tyler, Katie, Eric, Conner, and Bella."
We all stood up to shake the celebrities hands. Rosalie's handshake was short and she didn't make contact with my skin, Jasper briskly shook my hand, but Edward seemed to hold my hand for longer then necassary.
"Hello, Angela." Jasper said in a quiet voice, "Its nice to meet you."
Rosalie smiled a very fake looking smile, and it was hard not to flinch at her very white teeth, "Oh yes, very nice. Forks is a very interesting place. What do you think is the best part, Bella?"
Oh, why is everyone looking at me? I thought miserably while I tried to smile but failed miserably, "Um, I don't know. Maybe the um," I thought hard, but nothing came up so I began blushing like crazy.
"The um?" Alice asked, giggling, "Nice one, Bella. The best part of Forks is the um!" she quoted.
I glowered at her, "Hilarious, Alice. You would make a great comedian." Glaring at Alice helped me stop gawking at Edward like an idiot.
Katie stuggled to hide a laugh, "So you guys like Forks so far, then?" she asked.
"Its different." Edward said in an amaing velvety voice that made my heart flutter, "Very different from California. The weather is not as nice, its alot smaller then most places, and the people are-"
"Different?" Conner asked with a chuckle.
Everyone turned to glare at him, but I was just glad that all the attention had moved away from me. People like me did not do well in the spotlight, but atleast I was sitting down so my usual clutzy behaviour couldn't embarrase me.
Edward oberved Conner quietly for a second before chuckling, "Sure." I think I was the only one to notice that his smile didn't reach his eyes though.
Lauren, who had approached us all without me noticing, sighed, "People at this table are just so stupid." she exclaimed, "Don't you want to meet anyone interesting?" she fluttered her eyeslashes and her words seemed to have a double meaning.
"Would love to." Rosalie replied, her voice sickly sweet.
It was all I could do not to stick my tongue out at them. Rosalie followed Lauren away with Emmet following her like a lost puppy. Both Jasper and Edward rolled their eyes at Rosalie's retreating form and then looked at us, apologies in their eyes.
Jasper began, "I'm really sorry for Rose. She is just uncomfortable meeting new people who aren't famous. I mean..." he looked anxious that we would take it the wrong way so I decided to step in.
"Its okay, we all know what you mean." I told him, "You don't have to explain."
Edward smiled at me, so my mind went completely blank. Luckily for me, Angela wasn't as brain-dead, "So do you guys want to join us? You can sit down if you want." she pointed to the empty seats.
Jasper sat next to Katie, and Alice took a seat next to him. I expected Edward to sot between Tyler and Eric, but instead he sat next to me, forcing Angela to move over a bit. Jessica looked furious as she squeezed between Tyler and Eric who both smiled nervously at having a popular girl right next to them.
"So," Edward started the conversation, "Do any of you guys like reading?"
Katie answered, "Bella does. She is such a bookworm." she shot me a look that clearly told me to try and talk to the God sitting next to me.
"What kind of books do you read?" he asked.
It was too bad that his eyes kept dazzling me and my mind was in the gutter, so I couldn't think of an answer, "The classics, I guess. Wuthering Heights, er, Jane Austen books, Macbeth. How about you?" A breakthrough! I actually said something that wasn't completely mental!
"A variety." Edward told me, trying to hide a smile, "Just about anything. Literature is a most excellent thing, wouldn't you agree?"
I couldn't believe the gorgeous God could actually read, "Absolutely! Every book you read is just so... different!"
The entire table roared in laughter, and I remembered, too late, what Edward had been made fun of for saying too much. I blushed beet red and stared down at my hands, mentally deciding not to talk for the rest of the lunch. And there was no way I would even try to look at Edward again.
hahaha! I embarrassed Bella! Actually, its quite fun to embarrass characters. Perhaps you could give me ideas on how to embarrass them all? And while you are doing that, maybe you could review and tell me how to make it better because I have no idea what it is like to meet a celebrity. (Yes, I do know they are only people, but still. They are famous people whose lives we all read about when we don't feel like doing anything with our own lives.) But I bet you have had enough with my annoying commentary, so I will be quiet now.
