Chapter 3
Edward's P.O.V
I entered the cafeteria with no emotion, I felt horrible for making that girl freak out. I was going to ask Alice about her, after I found her that is. I searched the lunch room after I had gotten my food when finally Alice waved me over. I breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to the table, trying to avoid falling or dumping my tray over someone's head, even though I was very tempted.
"Hey Alice," I said casually, sitting right next to Alice. Emmett was over at the other end of the table flirting with Rosalie, I could tell because he was twirling his hair. Jasper was eating silently, but I saw him playing a game on his iPod under the table. "Can I ask you something?"
"Yeah, sure," she said, she bit into a donut and ate it tenderly. I looked down at my own tray and started to play with an apple. "What is it?"
"Do you know a girl with brown hair and big brown eyes?" I asked her questionably. I took a bite of the apple and looked at Alice expectedly. She looked at me with pure innocence that it was hard to stay focused. "Alice?"
"Um, you're going to have to be a little more specific," she said and looked down at her soda; she looked at it like it was going to explode. "There are a lot of people who have brown hair and brown eyes, its normal."
I looked behind my back and searched the room, trying to find that face that had me hooked the second I saw it. Finally I spotted her, staring down at her hands in a table all alone. She was a few tables away so she hasn't noticed me; yet.
"Right there," I said and Alice turned to my direction, she followed my eyes to the girl, she let out a contented sigh and stared at me. I just stared at the girl, totally oblivious to everything else. "Who's that?"
"That's Bella," she said and looked into my eyes. I saw Bella look up to meet my eye sight, I pretty sure she just blushed. She hid behind her curtain of hair. I sighed and turned back to Alice, listening intently. "Some people know her as Bella Swan, or Isabella Swan. Her parents died when she was a kid and they handed her over to her uncle. He died from a heart attack, but before he died she would show up to school with bruises and scratches. Some people say she's suicidal, now she's an orphan. Nobody wants her; no relatives came to pick her up when they were supposed to. It's actually quite sad if you ask me."
I nodded my head all throughout the story, so people thought she was an emo, Goth person. I agree with Alice, that's really sad.
"So is she still suicidal?" I asked I wanted to know the detail, if she was still suicidal then I was going to stay as far away as possible, like everyone else.
"I guess," Alice said attentively. She tore her gaze from mine and looked down at her tray; she started playing with an orange. "I mean, she shows up sometimes with scars and bruises. Whatever you do Edward, stay away."
I shooed that matter off and looked down at my half eaten tray. The reason I had never heard of this girl was because for a year or so I had been at a boarding school in London. So I wouldn't know about this girl Bella. All too soon the bell rang and that meant it was time for Biology. Oh joy, my favorite class in the whole wide world. Geez, even my thoughts are dripping with sarcasm.
I stood and walked out of the cafeteria, disposing of my food on the way out, I walked the ways to the Biology lab and I didn't even notice that I was walking right behind Bella. Hopefully she wouldn't turn around, oh please don't turn around. She turned around. She looked shocked and disgusted at me, like I was a disgusting disease carrying vermin.
She turned into the Biology lab and then I realized that I had Biology! Oh joy, Biology with a suicidal person, this should be fun. Hopefully I wouldn't have to sit next to her. Oh please don't make me sit next to her! I had to sit next to her.
I walked past her while sitting in my chair, she was drawing loops on her notebook, when I sat down she must have noticed because her hand missed a loop, so now it was uneven. She looked up at me and her breath hitched, I pretended to read my Biology book intently, but I had already studied this back up at boarding school. So I decided to make small talk.
"Hello," I said to her, putting my book down gently and looking at her. Her chocolate brown eyes burned into mine, I shuddered slightly at the thought. She sighed and dropped the pencil she was holding; she looked up to meet my gaze. "My name is Edward; Edward Cullen."
She nodded and dropped away from my stare. I saw her face scrunch in a disgusted way, but it was gone before I had any time to study it. I eyed her carefully, making sure she wasn't going burst out of the room running. Literally she looked like she was about to spring at any moment.
"You're Bella, right?" I asked stupidly, she didn't reply to that either, she just nodded her head and turned towards the board. I copied her pose and stared and actually listened to the teacher! This was something I had already learned so I didn't really have to listen.
The whole lesson I sat there pretending to pay attention to the teacher drone on and on about some stupid thing, but I was just lost in thought. I guess Alice was right, she was Emo and Goth, and it was very intimidating. Maybe that's why everyone stayed away from her, but it is just my luck to get stuck with her for a lab partner.
When the lesson ended and the bell rang she was out of there before the bell even stopped ringing. I sighed and gathered up my stuff, slowly lifting my weight off that uncomfortable stool. I pulled myself through my last class and when it finally ended I sighed and got ready to go, thank goodness to the bell. I walked to my Volvo quickly, I was very eager to go home and get my mind off of this girl.
As I leaned against my Volvo waiting for the others to come I watched as Bella made her way to an old red Chevy truck that was parked at the clear end of the lot. She looked very uncomfortable, so before I could turn my gaze away from her she just looked away and never looked back.
She got into her truck and drove off to her home, I don't know why I was narrating all of this is my mind, but it just seemed important in a way I didn't understand. When the others finally got to the car I got in the driver's seat with no hesitation. The drive to the Rose and Jasper's house was intense. When we dropped them off the ride home for us was just plain awkward.
The worst part of it all was that the only thing that I had in my mind was Bella and I couldn't get her out of my head. Maybe I need to see a therapist or something…
Okay so this was just the Biology scene from Edward's point of view, nothing really exciting. Next chapter there is A LOT of info! So be sure to check that out! Please don't forget to review!
Thanks for reading!
XOXO Amcraw123!
