A/N: OK I will really try to improve my grammar and spelling but I'm just hoping that all of you understand what I'm saying.
I think HouseMDLove is going to beta my story…so I hope that works out because she is really a FANTASTIC writer.
Also, I know my story so far has been boring, but it will start getting interesting in the next couple chapters...promise!
I groaned as I put the songs on shuffle and I was about to start running when someone ran into me…..
CHAPTER 3
BELLA'S POV
Two tan arms caught me right before I could hit the solid, wet pavement. I looked up to thank the stupid person that almost made me fall flat on my face, when I saw the bleach-blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and tan, square face. It couldn't be… I can't believe it… it's Mike Newton.
God, I hated Mike. As soon as I started going to Forks High School my junior year, he has been trying to get with me and he would never take a hint. Every school dance he would ask me to go with him and I would politely say, "No thanks Mike, I don't dance." Even every weekend, or if we had a day off he would always ask me on a date or if I wanted to hang out with him and every time I said "no."
It even got to the point were one day I just couldn't keep it in any longer and blew up in his face!
----FLASHBACK-----
YES! It was finally lunch and I was starving! My stomach was growling so much today, everybody would just give me these curios faces and I would just look down and blush, in fact, I don't think I haven't stopped blushing for the past two and a half hours.
There was a delicious smell sailing threw the air. It smelled like juicy tomatoes, mouth watering cheese and freshly baked dough.
Today was pizza day…YUM!
Day's like pizza day were the only day's I actually like buying lunch, while on the other hand, I had no choice but to buy day old stuff that they call lunch anyways.
I grabbed two slices of pepperoni pizza, a bottle of lemonade, and a chocolate-chunk cookie.
I sat down with my usual lunch table, even though the only person I liked sitting with was Angela, she was my only real friend in Forks. She was shy, but always knew what to say in times of need unlike the stupid, stuck-up snobs like Jessica and Lauren, who just wanted to make my life a living hell especially Jessica, because Mike is all over me instead of her, I can't even count the times I just told her to take him!
Mike took his usual seat next to mine, but he seemed really excited today and he was literally jumping in his seat.
"Mike? What's with you? Calm down." I pleaded. Gees, I should really find a new seat.
"Oh I just have this feeling that a certain someone winkwink is going to go with me on a date, tonight to the movies." He tried to say slyly when really it just made me sick.
"Oh cool, I think Jessica would really love going with you"
His face fell a little but all too soon he was grinning even bigger now when he leaned over, so close that I could smell his hot, Doritos breath that made me gag a little and whispered in my ear, "Silly Bella, I was talking about you."
And that's when I just exploded, I don't know where it came from but it felt good to just finally get that pressure off my chest. "Seriously Mike, do I have to spell it out for you N-O, NO! Get it through your tiny brain; I don't know how many times I have to tell you! I will never say yes nor will I ever go out with you…EVER!"
By now the whole cafeteria was looking at me and when I noticed, I just blushed and walked out of the cafeteria and into the library. I was so relieved to have that weight off my shoulders and now maybe he will just leave me alone…
---END OF FLASHBACK---
Yeah right like that could ever seriously happen!
"Bella, oh my god, Bella I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there, are you OK?" He asked sounding worried, looking me over.
"Yes it's me, and I'm fine just let me go." Realizing he still had his arms around me, he hesitantly let me go.
"So Bella, long time no see, we should catch up soon maybe over some-"
I cut him off right there and started running in the opposite direction of him. "Sorry Mike, busy, bye!"
Whew! That was a close one.
Returning back to the music, I cranked up the song "I'd do anything" by Simple Plan, and ran to the rhythm of the beat, while pulling my hair into a high pony-tail on the top of my head.
I was half way threw the song when I saw him again.
He was also going for a jog, god he looked good, even in sweats he still looks like a Greek god.
OK Bella, stop, you know he's too good for you so just keep running. Of course I obeyed. I started running again trying to get back into the beat when I saw him step in front of me to try and stop me but it was too late. I was running too hard and he tried to stop me too quickly, that the force of the impact just took us both down.
I felt him brace himself right before we hit the floor which made me tense.
"Ugh!" We both said as the wind was knocked out of our lungs.
We started chuckling and I froze when I noticed I was still on top of him.
"Sorry," I muttered, rolling off of him into the soggy grass, it felt good against my hot cheeks.
"Don't be, I was the one that got in your way" Edward said a little out of breath.
"So why did you stop me?" I asked curiously raising an eyebrow.
"Well, I didn't get to formally introduce myself at lunch so I thought I should"
"Uh, Oh OK, I'm Isabella Swan, but call me Bella" I said with a cheerful smile.
"I'm Edward Cullen, don't call me Eddie" He said laughing.
God he looks so amazing when he laughs. SNAP OUT OF IT BELLA!
"Do you need help up?" he asked holding his hand out. I didn't even know I was still sitting down I must have been caught up with my thoughts.
"Mm-hmm"
He helped me back to my feet but not before catching me when I stepped on my shoe lace while taking the one step it took to get back to the side walk.
"Sorry, if you haven't noticed yet, I'm really clumsy."
"Don't worry about it, I like a damsel in distress" he said with a devilish smile.
He crouched down to tie my shoe, and I don't think I have ever seen a better looking bow!
"Would you like to walk with me?" I asked. I don't know where this confidence came from but I like it.
"Sure."
He had that crooked smile again and I had to look away because my knees were starting to buckle.
As we were walking we talked about the casual things like school, and the different interests we had.
I didn't even notice it was dark outside till he tilted his head up towards the sky and said, "Wow, it's so gorgeous outside, just look at that moon."
After he said that I also looked at the sky and it took my breath away, "I have never seen so many stars before and the full moon looks so big." A small smile was starting to form across my lips when out of the corner of my eye I saw Edward watching me.
"What are you looking at?" I asked staring into his big green eyes.
"You, Bella I know we just met but I was wondering if you would ever want to go on a da-"
"Yes!" I said all too soon, cutting him off.
After my out burst we both busted out laughing. Edward had to bend down and grab his knees while I was clutching on to my sides because they were starting to cramp up.
After we were able to breathe again, he said, "Why not tomorrow night? I know the perfect place."
"Sounds good to me,"
"OK I will pick you up from your room around 7:30" he said with a huge smile on his face.
"OK, but I have to go now it's starting to get late and I know Alice and Rosalie are starting to get worried."
His face fell a little but then he got really close to my face, only inches away, and said, "Goodnight Bella, see you tomorrow night." And he turned on his heel and walked away.
I could still feel his sweet, hot breath on my skin that sent shivers up my spine when I was walking back to my room replaying our conversation.
I came back to reality when I remembered that I would have to face Alice and Rose any second now.
I paused right outside our door, this can't be good….
EDWARD'S POV
"Alice, Rosalie, what are you guys doing out here? You guys hardly ever come outside." I said in monotone, I really don't feel like dealing with them right now.
I started walking away when Alice said something that caught my attention, "Edward we were looking for you to talk to you about our roommate and we do to come outside, just when its nice, sunny and warm, not dark, rainy, and depressing."
"Ugh, what do you want?" I said turning to face them again.
"We just want to talk to you Edward; we all saw the way you guys looked at each other." Rosalie said with a loving tone.
"Well as much as I would love to stay and chat I really want to go for a run right now so we will talk about it later," I said staring back and forth between them.
They both had puppy dog faces on trying to make me feel guilty and talk to them when Alice remembered something.
"Hey Edward," Alice said grinning evilly.
"What Alice." I snapped. I was really starting to get impatient.
She looked at Rosalie and then back at me, "Guess who is also going out for a quick run." And with that I turned and sprinted away from them trying to find Bella.
Not even thirty seconds later I saw her, she was even more beautiful than I remember. The way her ponytail was bouncing and her face was kind of scrunched up as if she was really focused on something. I really wanted to introduce myself and make a real good first impression so I stepped in front of her and tried to grab her shoulders and make her stop but she was just running to hard and slammed me to the ground.
I braced myself as I was waiting for the impact not once letting go of Bella.
We hit the cement hard enough that it took mine and Bella's breathe away. We started chuckling when we heard that we had said "Ugh!" at the same time.
All the sudden her body became tense, which caused me to tense from under her.
"Sorry," she muttered, rolling off me into the wet grass.
"Don't be, I was the one that got in your way" I said breathlessly, how she could be sorry for something not even her fault was completely beyond me.
"So why did you stop me?" she asked curiously raising one eyebrow.
"Well, I didn't get to formally introduce myself at lunch so I thought I should"
"Uh, Oh OK, I'm Isabella Swan, but call me Bella" she said with a cheerful smile.
Wow she is so beautiful.
"I'm Edward Cullen, don't call me Eddie" I said laughing, I hate when people call me that!
She looked lost in thought and I don't think she realized I stood up so, being the gentleman I am, I asked holding out my hand, "Do you need help up?" She looked up at me with those brown eyes that seemed confused until she saw my hand.
Yup, I was right; she was totally clueless she was still sitting down.
"Mm-hmm"
I helped her back to her feet but not before catching her when she stepped on her loose shoe lace while trying to take the step to get back to the side walk. "Gees, she falls a lot" I thought to myself, mentally laughing.
"Sorry, if you haven't noticed yet, I'm really clumsy." You're telling me!
"Don't worry about it, I like a damsel in distress" I said with a devilish smile.
I crouched down to tie her loose shoe laces.
When I looked up at her, she gave me a loving smile that made knees wobble.
"Would you like to walk with me?" She asked. "Of course I would, I would love to do anything as long as you are there," I wanted to say but I just kept it to myself and went with a simple, "Sure."
I had that crooked smile again that I know she liked because I noticed her knees were buckling and she looked away.
As we were walking we talked about the casual things like school, and the different interests we had, I loved the way she talked, they way she moves her hands when she is describing something and when her hair loose strands of hair falls in her face I just want to reach and tuck it behind her ear.
It startled me when I noticed it was dark outside. I tilted my head up to look at the sky and said, "Wow, it's so gorgeous outside, just look at the moon."
After I said that she also looked at the sky and it looked like it took her breath away, "I have never seen so many stars before and the full moon looks so big." A small smile was starting to form across her lips, god how I just want kiss her so bad, but I couldn't. She looks so peaceful right now I would hate to ruin it.
"What are you looking at?" she asked locking into my eyes. Just staring at her for that second I knew I couldn't keep it in any longer, I needed her.
"You, Bella I know we just met but I was wondering if you would ever want to go on a da-" I didn't even get to finish because Bella blurted out,
"Yes!"
After her out burst we both busted out laughing. I had to bend down and grab a hold of my knees while Bella was clutching on to her sides for dear life!
After we were able to breathe again, I said, "Why not tomorrow night? I know the perfect place." She would love it, I know she would.
"Sounds good to me,"
"OK I will pick you up from your room around 7:30" I said with a huge smile on my face how could this night get any better?
"OK, but I have to go know its getting really late and I know Alice and Rosalie are starting to get worried."
I could feel my face fall a little but then I got a really good idea. I got really close to her face, only inches away, and breathed, "Goodnight Bella, see you tomorrow night." And with that I turned on my heel and walked away chuckling as I saw her caught in a daze.
I was walking back to my room; Bella never left my mind until I was down the hall. I knew I had to confront them sooner or later but why so soon?
This is going to make my day bad if this doesn't turn out right….
