I don't own the characters, they belong to the amazing Stephanie Meyer.
I do own the storyline and the characters that I create.
Chapter 3 – Poker Face!
Alice's point of view.
I got up to the sound of Bella muttering something in her sleep. She always talked in her sleep but this sounded more like a moan. I didn't want to know what she was dreaming about, ew! I heard her murmur something under her breath, it sounded like she said "Edward" but I wasn't too sure.
As amusing at this was to watch, I had to get her up. I was hoping she was joking last night when she'd said that she was wearing regulation uniform. I so desperately wanted to dress her for school.
I needed to wake her up though; I didn't want to be late for class. Plus we're going to meet Jasper before class to compare timetables. I hope I have classes with him. That'd be great. I could sit with him and talk to him and, I needed to wake Bella up. I was getting as bad as her with her daydreaming.
I put my hand on her arm and I heard her murmur something again, I was positive that she'd said Edward this time. I put my arm on her shoulder and gently shook her. I saw her eyes start to move slightly.
"Nice dream?" I giggled.
"What do you mean?" She said groggily.
"You were smiling and you murmured something too low for me too hear properly." I looked at her hoping she would tell me about it, when it was clear that she wasn't going to, I teased her saying, "It sounded like you said Edward though." I tried to hold in my laugh but I couldn't help it, her face was so dear-caught-in-the-headlights. I was so right.
"Don't be ridiculous Alice." She snubbed with a sour tone to her voice, I think she was angry that I caught her.
I watched her pull herself out of bed so reluctantly; it must have been an excellent dream. I was already showered and had my hair and make up done, I just needed to get dressed now. I had the perfect outfit, I was sure it would look amazing. I slipped on my white dress and slid two ribbons around the tight waist band of the dress. A blue and a yellow ribbon tied into a two-coloured bow at the side. I had heels, Manolo Blahnik's to be precise, they were the exact shade of blue that my ribbon was. I put a little yellow ribbon in my hair and I was done.
Bella had gotten out of the shower about 20 minutes ago, I'd heard the water turn off; I knew she'd be coming out soon to get dressed. I sat on the end of my bed ready to pounce on her and force the uniform I bought her on to her.
She was taking her time; I hoped she wasn't getting dressed in there too. I'd just make her change. I was thinking how I'd made her change in her house last Monday; she did that with no argument. I would win. Then as I recalled that Monday in my head, the image of her brother with a towel around him, his hair ringing wet came into my head. My stomach felt funny and I got a tingle down my spine. So weird.
I was completely caught up in my daydreaming when I heard the door crack open and there stood Bella, fully dressed. Damnit. I was ready to tell her to change when I saw what she had on. A black skirt, hitched high enough for my approval. A tight white shirt with enough buttons open to show some cleavage, a blue jumper with the sleeves tied over her shoulders. She had flats on but, I overlooked that; she was trying.
"Wow Alice, you look great!" She complimented me.
"Thank you Bella. You too, even though you didn't let me dress you. There's always tomorrow!" I smiled at her, she always complimented me and it made me feel good about myself. I was glad I had a friend like her.
She held her hand out for me while I got my bag. "You ready pixie?" She smiled.
I grabbed her hand. "Let's do this." I beamed as we headed out the door.
I knew I shouldn't have been nervous about our first classes but, I couldn't help it. I didn't understand though; I really shouldn't be nervous. Me and Bella had already compared timetables and we had every period together except 1st and 5th period. That's going to suck. I wonder if Jasper is in either of those classes.
As soon as I thought his name, my stomach went crazy. My breathing was heavier and I couldn't even remember where I was. This was crazy; I used to totally own guys. If I wasn't so infatuated with Jasper I'd probably want to kick him for making me lose my touch. Ah, this is bad. But, then I saw his face in my head and I really didn't care. I wanted nothing more than to be with him.
I was walking in a complete zombie trance when I heard Bella shouting my name at me.
"Alice, Alice. Where are you going? We're meeting Jasper near the mall, it's over this way."
"Oh, yeah. I know, I was just…" I turned my head to try and hide my blush.
"Daydreaming about my brother maybe? Gross." She replied with a teasing tone. I knew she wanted to be happy for me but, it was her brother after all. I wanted to apologize but, I couldn't help. It was love at first sight. Wait? What? Love? Did I just say I loved him? Oh. Have I gone totally crazy? Yep, I think I have.
I tried desperately to stop thinking about him; I succeeded just long enough to walk down a few corridors without walking into any walls because of my stupid daydreams.
"ALICE! BELLA!" I heard a voice screech from behind me. I turned around and saw our friend Rosalie.
"ROSE!" I ran up to her and hugged her with Bella right behind me.
"Rose, oh my gosh. Where have you been? Ah, I've missed you so much. Check you, you look great!" Bella squealed.
Bella, Rose and I were childhood best friends. We were always together, always. We didn't see her over the holiday because she was on holiday for the whole time with her dad. He owns an Island, crazy right?
Rose was like nothing you've ever seen before. She was unbelievable. She has long blonde hair that fell inches past her waist, it was always perfect. Her face just fell into the category, perfect. Piercing blue eyes, perfect skin and all that jazz. She had a figure any of us would die for; she made Aphrodite - the goddess of beauty - look bad. And the outfit she was wearing now, outlined everything about her figure perfectly. She had white short shorts on with tights underneath, she had a blue top that was tight around the top of her hips and then had a slouch neck showing just enough of her perfect cleavage. If I didn't love her so much I'd hate her for making me take a hit on my ego just by being in the same room as her.
"Rose, what lessons have you got then? Do you have 5th period algebra? I'm on my own in there." I asked her hoping she did.
"Yeah, I do. Do you guys have 6th period US History?" She asked mirroring the hopeful tone that was in my voice.
Me and Bella both squealed in unison, "Yes yes yes yes! We both have it!" Rose's face lit up, I was so happy to see her.
"Hey babe." Emmett said as he wrapped his arms around Rose's waist. He kissed her neck then she turned around to look at him straight in the eye, then they kissed. There was no doubt they were in love.
"Anyway, we'll see you later. We're going to meet Jasper." Bella sounded a little awkward. I felt as awkward as she sounded. Intense moments like that don't need to be shared.
I grabbed Bella's hand and we walked off to meet Jasper. I was quickly slipped back into my own little world full of him.
"Bella! Alice!" I heard a lucious smooth voice shout. I knew who's voice it was instantly.
Edward's point of view.
I couldn't wait to get to class. I'm not a geek, I just needed something that might distract me from her. At the minute, that seemed a pretty daunting task.
Me and Jasper were out the door and on our way to the mall, we were going to meet his sister and her friend. I hoped they weren't going to stare like everyone else was.
As Jasper had said, I was the new heart throb. I doubted that until I saw the looks I was getting off everyone. Girls were totally gawking, at us both I assume, Jasper was considered one of the best looking guys round here, already. Boys just seemed angry at us. I couldn't for the life of me understand why though.
I was happy when we finally rounded the last corner to the mall. Those dorm corridors were far too crowded with staring people, it made me nervous; claustrophobic almost.
I let out a sigh of relief as we headed towards the store where I could see two girls. I assumed that was where we were headed. I just put on a smile and tried to ignore the stares around us.
I watched as Jasper ran over to the girls shouting, "Bella! Alice!"
I followed close behind and watched him pull one of the girls into a tight hug, then kiss her forehead. He hadn't mentioned a girlfriend. I looked over at the other girl there, she quickly saw me and smiled. I recognized her as the small girl that I saw her with on Saturday. I looked at the other girl again, instantly I recognized the chocolate waves hanging down her back and her legs, I couldn't forget those legs. It was her.
It was her and she had a boyfriend, as if I hadn't expected this. A girl like that would have to have a boyfriend. I wanted to kick myself for even thinking I had a chance. I felt something weird in the pit of my stomach, anger and hate towards Jasper, I knew it was completely unjust so I tried to shake it off. That was followed closely by defeat and the sudden urge to cry. Great, now she was making me fucking hormonal.
He let go off her then hugged the small girl, "Hey Alice."
So the girls name is Bella, beautiful name for a beautiful girl. I sighed.
Jasper turned to me for an introduction, "Bella, Alice; this is Edward Cullen." He gestured towards the girls then me. Bella kept her head down the whole time, I wanted so much to reach out and put my hand under her chin so I could make her eyes meet mine. "Edward this is Bella and Alice, my sister and her friend." His voice went all soft and mushy on the word friend so I assumed they must be together.
He turned to Bella then and grabbed her hand, "Let me see you then." He twirled her in a sort of ballet movement. She spun round so gracefully, then her cheeks went bright pink as she caught my gaze. We both noticed her outfit at the same time, I'm not sure but I think my mouth must have been hanging open at this point, I quickly found my poker face and tried desperately to hold it.
She was wearing a small black skirt, it made her legs look phenomenal. Tight white shirt giving her the perfect cleavage that she attempted to hide with a blue jumper over her shoulders. She was so perfect.
I was watching his eyes examine her and he stopped at her skirt, who wouldn't? The next thing he did shocked me though.
"Bella, do you seriously think that I would let you walk around campus all day dressed like that." He looked at her seriously. I was so confused. "I want that skirt down so it's closer to your knees than your waist." I saw Alice roll her eyes at his exaggeration. She shuffled the skirt down looking slightly embarrassed, I guess he didn't want other guys seeing what was his. Ugh, I wanted to slap him just for being able to touch her. "And Bella, button up your shirt. You look like a hussy!" That was it. How dare he call her that. I was ready to give him a piece of my mind when she laughed. That trilling beautiful laugh, it rang right through my whole body.
"Jasper, stop it. You're not my father, you're my stupid over protective brother. I am capable of dressing myself, thank you very much." She groaned slightly then laughed again.
BROTHER?! He's her BROTHER?! Wow, I felt a sudder surge of relief wash over me. Then I realised how rude I was being, I was just standing there. Jasper had introduced me and I'd just stood there looking like an absolute imbecile.
I cleared my throat then said as confident as possible, "Hello Bella." I nodded, then turned to Alice and nodded in her direction, "Alice." I needed to think of something quick, I played it safe with, "It's a pleasure to meet you both."
Then I did something that I was always so certain of, the reaction I got from everyone else seemed to be a good one so I may aswell try. I flashed my "crooked smile" as my mother called it, at them. The reaction was not what I expected.
Alice simply beemed back, she was beautiful I had to admit, nothing compared to my Bella though. My Bella? I was losing it. Jasper just kindof stood there as if nothing happened. Bella just looked at me, I don't know how to describe the face she pulled at me, she looked in awe of something, surely not me. I couldn't think of an adjective suitable. She looked… Dazzled. That seemed about right.
I heard Jasper clear his throat next to me to get my attention, then I realised that I'd dropped my poker face and I was now looking at her like a kid would look at Cadbury's World. I shook my head and replaced my dumbfounded expression with a blank expression. Alice was giggling and Bella's cheeks were bright pink.
"So, everyone got their timetables?" Jasper tried to take the attention of me, I shot him a look of pure gratitude; I'd have to thank him later.
We all got our time tables and starting to compare them. I only had three classes with Bella, two with Alice and two with Jasper.
1st period – English with Bella.
2nd period – Biology with Bella.
3rd period – Spanish with Jasper.
4th period – Gym with Bella, Jasper and Alice.
5th period – Algebra with Alice.
6th period – Advanced Chemistry.
The warning buzzer sounded then and English was all the way on the other side of campus. Alice and Jasper both had French 1st period so that meant me and Bella would be walking together, well I hoped we would be.
"Yeah, so Bella. Me and Jasper have to go. The Modern Foreign Languages building are are quite a bit away. We'll be late if we don't go now. Bye." She hugged Bella and waved at me. Then scurried off with Jasper. That left me and Bella alone.
She just kept her head down and I so desperately wanted to see those eyes, I had to say something. "So, do you want to walk to English with me?" I thought that was pretty smooth.
"Uhm, yeah sure. We better go though, I heard Mrs Hardy is pretty strict." She looked up at me then, "Let's go then, we don't want to be late." She smiled at me and we started walking. I was sure I wasn't walking in a straight line, I was actually positive that if police saw me now they'd think I was drunk.
In a sense, I was. I suppose you could say I was intoxicated by her very presence.
Update soon :)! I want reviews though!
