The rest of the school day went on without any incidents. Thanks to Coach Clapp my gym teacher he let me sit out of class. He saved himself and his class many injuries for the day, he didn't realize that I am a major klutz.
I ended up having at least one person from my lunch table in a class with me so that eased my shyness. So far the person I get along with the most is Angela, I'm guessing since we are so much alike and she isn't pushy about information. We are content just being surrounded in silence and class work.
Throughout the day I learned all about my secret crush. His name was Edward Cullen, Emmett's little brother. Who would have thought? Everything about him was so cliché, quarterback of the football team and playboy of Forks. Every reasonable though in my mind screamed "STAY AWAY". Even Alice and Rosalie warned me that he would do anything to dazzle me.
Boy, were they right after only my first week here he had approached me several times to ask me out. I denied him every time. Sure he was unbelievably hot but I didn't want to just be another notch in his belt. I didn't understand why he would want me? Why plain, boring, Bella Swan? Though all the attention was really making me feel special. After many more no's I finally gave in and went out with him.
He was nothing like I expected. I was prepared for him to be an imbecile, impolite, self-centered, and rude. But to my utter belief he was none he opened doors, was sweet, funny all around the perfect gentleman. He never once tried to cop a feel or kiss me.
When he dropped me off that night he gave me a goodnight kiss and it was so breathtaking. From that day on we were the IT couple at Forks. Every girl wanted to be in my position and had no problems expressing just how much they would be better fit for it. But through all the drama and rumours our relationship just got stronger everyday.
We had the most perfect summer together and started our senior year in a state of romatic bliss. My friends still warned me that I would get hurt in the end but I didn't care. For once I was happy and in love. Yes I said love! Everything was going right for me I had a wonderful boyfriend, loving friends, and was getting ready to be accepted into the college of my dreams. Dartmouth(sigh)
Towards the end of the semester is when things started to get weird. Edward and I were both so busy. Him with football, and me with my studies and getting ready for college. We were barely spending any time outside of school together. I just took it as stress from the upcoming mid-terms.
How wrong I was little did I know my own little personal fairytale was crashing in front of my very eyes. To make matters worse I was doing nothing to stop it.
