I let out a loud moan when Rosalie started singing 'What a beautiful morning' in my ear. I started flailing my arms trying to smack her but ended up hitting myself instead.
Alice came and joined in on the singing. I started screaming and luckily got a good grip on Alice. I tackled her in my bed and jumped on her. She screamed about me ruining her hair and I heard manly laughs which were definitely not belonging to Rosalie. My grip on squealing Alice loosened and I raised my head.
My hair was everywhere so I couldn't see anything so I quickly removed hair out of my face to see three masculine figures.
There stood Emmett, Jasper and Edward.
"Good Morning" I squeaked. I could feel my cheeks burning red only making everyone but Alice laugh harder. She looked not her happiest with me and I returned a sheepish smile. This was rather embarrassing; I can imagine what I looked like. It seemed that my cheeks only got redder.
Rosalie noticed my embarrassment and decided to step in.
"Alright, shows over. Everyone out!" Rosalie instructed. God bless her.
"Aww!" Emmett moaned. "We were betting on how long her blush would last"
Rosalie laughed "Well tough luck boys unless you want to see Bella get dressed I advise you exit the building" She warned.
I watched as no one moved.
"Emmett, that's your cue to leave" Rosalie advised
"Same goes for you Jazz!" Alice agreed
I thought they were all leaving when I saw Alice and Edward sitting next to each other with same expression on there face. They actually looked related, just by the same facial expression otherwise the look like opposites.
I guess they were choosing Rosalie's option of staying and watching Bella get dressed.
"Let the games begin" Edward laughed finding what they were doing rather funny.
"Aroooooooooo!" Alice howled in excitement.
I knew exactly how to handle this
"Alice do we need a morning repeat" I smiled mischievously reminding her of how I tackled her this morning and 'ruined' her hair. She practically ran out of the room.
That just left Edward.
"Well Bella, You can mess with my hair all you like. Tackle me, whatever works" He snickered ignorantly.
"As fun as that sounds, I have better plans for you" I snarled and then screamed at the top of my lungs "ROSALIE!"
Edwards's eyes widened and he got up ready to bolt when Rosalie stormed in.
"Not so fast" she grabbed Edward by the ear and dragged him out. I just laughed.
I eventually jumped up and opened my closet. What do I wear on my first day of class? Alice walked in with out saying a word grabbed a pair of shoes, jewellery, white skinny jeans, and singlet with a demine jacket. She laid them on my bed and walked straight out. Well I guess that's my answer.
I popped it on, ran my fingers through my hair and drew a light coat of eye liner around my eye. I slipped on my wedges and walked out.
I heard low wolf whistles from the kitchen and with out thinking I stuck up my middle finger. I realised what an idiot I was for doing that. It wasn't the new Bella I was pretending to be. The sweet innocent Bella everyone thought I was.
I heard gasps and a loud laugh from Rose.
"That's what you get when you are on the wrong side of sweet little Bella!"
We were all heading out the door and I picked up yesterdays newspaper and chucked it in the bin.
"So not that I am complaining but why are you here?" I asked Emmett.
His loud laugh filled the area.
"Well Edward refuses to let me ride with him in his car lately because I put a whoopee cushion on his seat last week." I laughed and Edward yelled something unclear at Emmett "Grumpy old man" Emmett muttered.
"So, anyway a couple times a week we come over before school for breakfast and lately I have been catching a ride with Rose and then Alice and Jazz catch a ride with my brother sir-grump-a-lot!" Emmett explained.
"I am guessing Edward is sir-grump-a-lot" I giggled. Emmett nodded and let out a laugh of his own. It was new to me that Edward was his brother.
"I never knew you and Edward were brothers" I raised my eyebrows.
"yeah well I bet you didn't know Alice was my sister either" he grinned
"What?!?!" I asked astonished, all this time I never knew
"Well she is only our half sister, actually our cousin but uh-"He dropped his voice to a lower volume "My auntie and uncle which are Alice's parents, kind of well, left her at a young age and my parents took her in. She has been family to us ever since" he smiled sadily.
"wow, she never told me. Your parents must be wonderful people" I admired how loyal his parents had been to Alice.
"Alice doesn't ever speak about it, so don't bring it up or anything" I nodded understanding where Emmett was coming from.
So as planned Jasper, Alice and I got a lift with Edward and Rose and Emmett went in Rosalie's car.
I found it silly that we drove to school when it wasn't even a kilometre away. Edward claimed he has a car for a reason. Dick.
I stepped out of the car to more massive gates like I had seen the day of my arrival. I grabbed my big Burken bag with all my books and Alice led me to my locker. It was conveniently close to Jasper and right next to Edward. Oh great!
Alice gave me a quick tour of campus; there were all the groups you would expect a normal high school to have.
Some quiet people all huddled round a table reading and doing what I guess to be home work. The sporty people on the oval to the right running round and playing games of soccer. The Goth kids with black streaked hair and ripped fish net stockings.
Then of course you reach the popular crowd. The ones who think they are all that and usually turn out to be mega sluts, I would know since I used to be one. Across from them were the jocks, all howling and shouting words. Some making-out with girls on there laps and others tackling and joking with each other.
Alice shook her head with disgust "When will he ever learn?"
I was about to ask her who 'him' was when I saw a flash of bronze hair. He was standing in the centre of the table with girls practically crawling up his legs.
I noticed his body went still and he was stuck staring at something intensely. Everyone turned to see what he was looking at and were looking straight at me.
If I was in phoenix I would of gave them the finger or ask them to piss off however I jut calmly turned away and back to Alice but I could help smirking as I did it.
"Oh great, the whole foot ball team will be after you now. If they you give any trouble tell Emmett and he will sort it out" She encouraged somewhat pleased to get Emmett involved.
"Why Emmett?" I asked expectantly
"Well, uh, he is like a god to the basket ball team. Even though he is not the captain he coaches them so well they made him coach and Edward captain; mainly because Edward has the talent and Emmett knows how to train you to get that talent. They respect him" she concluded
I was beginning to notice that Jasper, Alice, Rose and Emmett weren't like the popular possie, but they were definitely popular but more so respected. As Alice walked me through the buildings everyone just about said hi or flashed her one of their most dazzling smiles. I saw Jasper crowded with people laughing asking him questions meanwhile Rosalie was having every last girl run up and say something to her.
My first class was Geography; I didn't have anyone I knew in there, well besides Tyler and a few other members from Edward's team. I sat down on a seat and grabbed my books to hear someone plonk down next to me. I peered up.
"Bella Swan, we meet again" a Blue eyed boy snickered
"Uh, hi. Um sorry … do I know you?" I asked kind of confused. I honestly didn't care who he was.
"How could you forget, we had something going on" He growled suggestively as his eyes raked up and down my body. Whoa, this kid better watch it because he is skating on thin ice.
"Does the name Mike Newton ring a bell" He grinned and slipped his hand on my thigh. I gasped and hit it off. I remember now but we did no more than dance together and right now I regret every second of it.
Victoria my old friend always told me that KCBC students were complete perverts, she is so right.
Right before I went ape shit on this douche bag he was dragged out of his seat by the collar and pushed into another chair awkwardly. I looked up to my saviour surprised to see Edward standing before me. I wanted to say something and was going to when we he grabbed Mike by the collar again.
"Stay away from her." He all but growled.
He looked at me and I was about to thank him but he turned on his heal and left. I was astonished.
Who the hell does that? Just walks in like they are king of the world. I didn't even need his help. Edward really was a puzzle to solve. I huffed.
Just before the teacher walked in a girl came and sat next to me. She took the place where mike sat before.
"Hi I am Angela" She smiled. She was polite and looked like a genuinely nice girl. That maybe she didn't belong here in this school.
"Nice to meet you Angela. I am Bella" I held out my hand and she shook it gracefully.
I could see we would be good friends.
I still couldn't get my mind off Edward. That look he gave Mike, he was so angry. I was almost scared. Almost.
And I don't get scared often.
Then I realised, I didn't need him to come in and save the day. Since when was I that type of girl? I hated being the damsel in distress. I could look after myself just fine. How dare he just come into my class and do that. I was getting really worked up and decided its pointless doing some now I would just have to wait.
My next two classes both had Cody in them which was pleasing. We passed notes and messed around a bit. Unfortunately I had Edward in my English class as well. I could just never escape him could I?
We were studying Romeo and Juliette. Good thing I know this book like the back of my hand.
Our teacher Mrs Higgins started lecturing.
"We are going to debate a series of questions and discuss our opinions together. Our first question is 'would you die after the one you love died because your life is nothing without them or would you stay alive but still always love and remember them?'"
It was dead silence. I wanted to say something but I didn't want to be the first to speak. Then I heard Edward's velvety voice call from the back.
"Stay alive. What's the use of the both of you dying?" Edwards's response annoyed me.
Without thinking I spoke up.
"I disagree, if you truly love the person you would either spend the rest of your life in pain mourning over them or you could show an act of love and join them in peace." I argued irritably.
"But who said that true love like that even exists? You could always find some one else to love" he retorted.
"Well clearly if it was true love it wouldn't repeat it's self. You only find the one you love once. It won't relive it" I snapped back.
"How would sou know, I don't suppose you have experienced true love yourself so how can you be so sure?" He argued back. He was right I hadn't experienced true love I thought I once had, yet Edward hasn't either. I only lust I don't love.
"I could say the same for you. You obviously haven't experienced true love so how can you be so sure?" I replied angrily. The whole class was just watching intensely as if it were a movie.
Mrs Higgins clapped her hands and smiled
"Ladies and gentlemen I present to you a true debate. I hope we can experience many more of them" Mrs Higgins winked at me and laughed continuing to clap. By then basically the whole class was clapping. I grabbed Cody and tried to stop him from clapping.
"Thank you Isabella and Edward for that impressive discussion" Our teacher congratulated us once everyone calmed down
"What?" Edward rudely called out again
"Mr Cullen I was just thanking you and miss Swan for that debate you two participated in" She repeated again slightly annoyed.
"No that's not what I meant. You thanked me and then you said the name Isabella but who is…" Edwards's voice slowly drifted to silence as he realised that by Isabella she meant me. That was obviously the first time he heard my full name.
"Oh" He stated suddenly and waved his hands for her to continue. Mrs Higgins talked further about the book and recommended us to watch the movie as well. The bell finally rang and everyone leapt up in a hurry. I still had to pack my books up. I grabbed my books and placed them neatly in my bag when that electrical current came alive again. Edward was right behind me, he pressed his hard chest against my back and I felt like jelly. I couldn't form a coherent word or thought.
"See you later, Isabella" He whispered seductively and walked out the door throwing his back pack over his shoulder. It took me a while to realise I was smiling.
What was happening to me? I was angry at him!
I needed to talk to him, tell him off about the whole Mike thing and how I can protect myself. I marched out the room with a set mind. When I reached my locker Edward was there with another girl. I could see they were about to kiss, leaning into each other. I must say Edward has bad taste. This chick just screams fake and stupid.
I walked over and they were leaning on my locker. Now I am not one to get involved in others public display of affection but if it has anything to do with me or something of mine, well that's another story.
I made a noise in my throat to grasp there attention, Edward looked out and backed fully away from this blonde bimbo. He just stared at me admirably and smiled.
"Sorry to interrupt" I smiled sarcastically.
"Oh you weren't interrupting" Edward replied completely casual.
"Come on Eddie, I heard the janitor's cupboard is free" a squeaky plastic voice spoke. I looked at her and I could barely hold in my laughter. She sounded hilarious. Was her too-high-of-a-voice natural or fake? Either way it was killing me.
I had a hand over my mouth trying to make it look natural. I looked up at Edward and the corners of his lips were struggling to stay down. I gave out a weird cough to hide my giggle.
"What's so funny Eddie Bear?" Her voice sounded even more squeaky and fake. I couldn't help the giggle which escaped my lips. Once one giggle came out I couldn't stop the rest. I was laughing loudly my hands holding my stomach.
Edward seemed slightly embarrassed. That only made it funnier.
"Bella this Jessica, Jess this is Bella" He introduced us trying to distract me.
I held my hand out still giggling as her sharp nails shook with my fingers. Ouch.
"Jess, why don't I talk to you later" Edward spoke quite sternly. Jessica pouted and turned off to the cafeteria. He shoved his hands in his pockets and looked down at me.
I reached up on my tippy toes and whispered in his ear.
"See you later…Eddie Bear" I laughed as I turned around and headed in the same direction as Jessica. I just got my revenge from what happened in English.
I entered the cafeteria to people screaming my name. Emmett and Alice were waving their hands wildly attempting to attract my attention. I smiled and walked over. I wasn't so hungry so I just drank an apple juice. Emmett was taking a spin on his new joke book his mum got him.
"Okay Bella, this one is for you." Emmett announced.
"Alright tough guy, lay one on me" I whipped back.
"Okay, okay. So why didn't the clown eat the lion?" He asked suspiciously
"Enlighten me" I responded
"Because the clown thought the lion tasted funny" He chuckled shaking his head.
It was silent for a few moments, and then Jasper piped in.
"Oh, I get it!" Jasper said in a knowing tone.
Rosalie smacked the back of his head.
We went on talking, laughing every 3 seconds. I couldn't help feel eyes boring into my back. I don't know why I was feeling watched.
"Edwards staring at you Bella" Rosalie whispered. My eyebrow furrowed and turned around. Indeed Edward was staring at me. Again.
He had girls all around him and most of the basket ball team.
I used to be like that back home. I had forgotten how easy it had been for me to just switch back to the old me before what happened with Charlie. I knew I said I was just pretending to act all like this so I could get out of here and a lot of it was much easier than I thought. What worried me was I may not be pretending.
The rest of day went well. I had Alice in a class with Rosalie. It was fun. Everyone caught a lift home with Edward besides Emmett and Rose of course. I stayed an extra hour at school just to catch up on my subjects. I knew I didn't need to, I never had to whether I being a good or bad Bella. I just wanted a bit of alone time. When I felt it was time to go home I left the school premises and started my short walk home.
As I was walking I felt a hand grab my shoulder. The hand zapped me and I screamed pushing over the person behind me. I turned to see Edward flat on floor absolutely stunned.
I got on my knee and started apologising continuously.
"I am so sorry! I didn't know it was you, I swear I didn't do it on purpose!" I repeated several times.
"Bella" Edward said but I kept apologising.
"Bella" He said again louder but I didn't stop me until his hands caught my cold cheeks and I immediately stop talking.
"Bella, I am alright" he had a slight humorous sound to his voice. I smiled and helped him up.
"I had just left a book I needed and ran back to get it. Then I saw you so I thought we could walk home together." He explained carefully
I nodded in response, slightly curious why he didn't use his car but didn't question it.
"So Edward, tell me about yourself" I asked curiously
He let out a sigh and put a hand through his hair making me weak in the knees.
"I was born in Chicago. I am 17. I like sport…and girls" he smiled sheepishly. I raised my eyebrows.
"You don't say…" I laughed remembering all those girls he was with today.
"Why did you move to Forks?" I asked trying to get more out of him.
"Uh, well… my dads…um…work…yeah" Edward for once seemed lost for words. He seemed afraid to say something.
"Come on Edward. Cut the crap, you can tell me" I said with pleading eyes
He paused and let out a huff then launched into a unexpected story.
"I was just 16 when we moved. We moved because my grandpa died. He was my favourite person in the world. So many stories he told me and he was so wise. I really looked up to him. I would spend every minute with him if I could. I was with him when he died. He had a heart attack." He struggled to talk then but somehow found his voice again "Because of me" He gasped.
We both stopped walking. He seemed ashamed.
"Oh Edward" I sighed. I gently ran a hand around his cheek soothing his worries.
"I tried to call the ambulance and get them in time. If only I was faster, he might still be with us today." He finished. It was my first time seeing Edward look so passionate about something.
I never knew this side of Edward; he actually seemed sensitive and innocent.
"Edward, it's not your fault! You did what you could" I told him seriously.
We ended up sitting on bench talking. He apologised immensely for what happened earlier, I of course told him he had nothing to be sorry about. Our conversation had changed from politics to food to decent jokes and somehow winded back to Romeo and Juliette.
Edward began to open up even further to me, telling me he didn't use to be like this.
"How so were you different to what you are now?" I asked merely curious
"Well, I guess I was more like you" He replied as he gently stroked my cheek. I could feel the red paint over my cheeks, such a small gesture and I felt like I was floating. He looked possessed, he was never like this. He wasn't ignorant or immature. He was sweet, honest, charming and caring.
"Me? In what way?" I wondered slightly thrown off yet deep down very flattered.
"Well for starters, I didn't go through girls the way I do…" He looked up at me kind of shy. I found it very sweet but the guilt I was feeling took over. He thought he went through girls badly, I am probably worse with guys.
"I had passion and hobbies. I was generally nice and polite and then well… we moved" He was looking at our feet thinking.
I couldn't take it, I needed to come clean and tell him why I was really attending Kings Cross College. He needed to know what I am really like. How bad and immature I really am. He needed to know how I used to have passion and love things before what happened with Charlie and then I just changed after it.
"I know how you feel Edward" I said quietly staring deep in his eyes.
"How could you Bella? You have no idea what its like" He countered back.
I knew it was now or never, I needed to tell him the truth especially after what he just told me.
"Edward, there is something I need to tell you" I started slowly. Our faces were close and I was looking deep in his eyes. I knew I had to tell him, I opened my mouth to slowly begin my story when I heard my name.
"BELLA?" I heard a distant voice calling my name. It sounded like Rose.
"Bella is that you?" She called again.
Edward looked at me confused.
"Crap what time is it?" I asked worried.
"Wow, its 7:30 already. Jeez that went fast" Edward responded.
We saw two figures appear to the bench we were sitting on. Alice sighed and ran to hug me meanwhile Rosalie exploded.
"We were worried sick about you. We thought you were lost or… kidnapped!" She exclaimed and then took in the presence of Edward.
"You" She pointed her finger at him. "What are you doing here? You better have not touched her or your toast" Rosalie accused
"Chill out Rose, we have just been talking" I said calmly.
"Bella, Bella, Bella. Edward Cullen doesn't just talk, actually come to think of it he never just talks to girls besides me and Alice" Rosalie countered but somehow believed me. She let out a sigh of relief.
We all walked home and Edward's dorm was a couple away from ours. He said good night blowing us each a kiss. I walked in thinking of what could have happened if Rosalie and Alice hadn't interrupted us. Edward could have known everything.
But still…he didn't.
Ooooh, Bella still hasnt told anyone of her past. Just so you understand Alice is actually only Edward and Emmetts cousin but was adopted into the family as a half sister because her parents abandoned her in her early years. Alices dad is Esmes brother. Edward and Emmett are brothers. Okay, got any questions just ask!
So please review, i have more chapters already written i just only update once i am happy with the amount of reviews. i am very happy with the amount of people favouritng this story but please drop a word or line on how you are feeling.
Have a nice day : )
