So this is the next chapter. I hope you guys like it!
BPOV
I woke up to my alarm clock beeping spastically. I checked the time. It was 6am. School starts at 8. I only had two hours. I got in the shower, and washed up, using lots of soap and good smelling conditioner. Conditioner is essential to non-static, soft, good looking hair. I blow dryed it, and then brushed through my layers, leaving it down. I went back to my room where I got into my white skinny jeans, red dotted flats, and cute red shirt. I ran downstairs and inhaled a granola bar before going back upstairs to brush my teeth and throw on some eyeliner and lipgloss. When I was sure my appearance was perfect for my first day, which was in the middle of January, (...yay) I grabbed my tote bag with all my books in it, and got into my Porsche.
I got to the school, and looked around. Ew. This school was nothing like the one in Phoenix. It was all wet here...but wait! To get to the separate buildings you had to WALK to them! OUTSIDE! Luckily it wasn't raining today, and wasn't supposed to for once, but tomorrow I'd have to remember my cute black trenchcoat with white detailing. I parked the car and went into the main office.
"Hi, I'm Bella Swan, and I'm new here. Can I please have my schedule?"
"Sure, honey. Here's your schedule and a map of the school. Please take this paper and get your teachers to sign it." She said.
"Alright, thank you." I said.
I got back into my car and drove around the the parking lot. Of course, my car got alot of stares. The only car that was close to being as nice as mine was a silver Volvo. The rest were rustbuckets: accidents just WAITING to happen, that were produced during the time of the Civil War (ok, fine, maybe that was a bit of an exaggeration...). I walked to my locker, and put my stuff in. I turned around, and almost jumped out of my skin.
"Hi...I'm...uh...Eric...do you need some help finding your next class?" A nerdy, greasy boy asked. He was really gross looking, but I smiled at him anyways. He looked so nervous.
"I'm Bella. Nice to meet you. I actually do need help. Do you know where the Trig building is?" I asked. He opened his mouth to answer but was interrupted by a velvety voice.
"Actually Eric, I'll take it from here." A guy said, smirking, "Run along now, don't wanna be late for the chess club meeting." He said, and watched as Eric scurried away. I turned around and looked at him.
"I'm Edward. You must be Bella. Alice told me about you."
"Ah. So you're Edward." I said, and started walking away. Alice was right--he was a jerk. He easily caught up to me.
"You looking for Trig?"
"Yes. I am."
"Well let me show you the way." He said. I sighed, but decided that since he hasn't done anything to me yet, I mind as well be nice to him.
"Thanks. I'm pretty lost at the moment." I laughed.
"So, you wanna go out with me Saturday?" He asked. Well, screw the being nice to him crap. Of course he only wants me for one thing. He wants me to go out with him, sleep with him, and then be one more added girl to his list. To people like him, girls are trophies. The more you get, the better a player you are. It's one big game.
"No, I don't."
"Why not?" He said, pretending to be hurt. I sighed again and turned to him.
"Look. I know your type. The guy who thinks he's hot and dates a different girl every week. Been there, done that. I'm not going to be enough of an idiot to date someone like you. See ya." I said, and started walking towards the math building.
"Hey, you know you're going to go out with me sometime. I always get the girl."
"Not this time." I said, and went in leaving him outside looking positively irritated that I wasn't in any way affected by him. I smirked at him, and his expression grew even more annoyed. He wrote something down a piece of paper and held it up to the window.
It's on
I nodded and smirked again. He left then, and I went to introduce myself to the teacher. Trig was boring. Government was boring (at least I had Alice in that class!). English was boring. Luckily, though, Edward wasn't in any of those classes. The bell rang for lunch, and I ran off to the cafeteria. I bought a bottle of water, (I don't usually eat lunch) and saw Alice waving me over. I went to her table and saw three other people sitting there.
"Everybody, this is Bella! Bella this is Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper." She said, pointing everyone out.
Emmett was huge. He's someone you look at and think...STEROIDS! But, unlike those with steroids, he seemed healthy. I guess he's just naturally that strong. I noticed he looked sort of like a teddy bear. He smiled at me, and then gave me a huge hug. Jasper looked kind of quiet, but gave me a huge smile when he saw me. He had blonde hair. Rosalie was...gorgeous. You stand next to her and feel like a troll. She smiled at me, too, and started telling me about this new store that we should all go shopping at soon.
About halfway through lunch, a napkin dropped onto the table in front of me. The front of it said,
Bella
I opened it up.
You have a nice figure. Just the way I like 'em.
3 Edward
I picked up a pen and wrote back.
Too bad I can't say the same about you. How many pieces of cake did you eat? 10? I've got one word for you...YIKES!
Bella :P
Alice looked at what I wrote and laughed. She showed everyone else and they laughed too.
"You've got some nerve, Bella. No one rejects Edward!" Rosalie laughed.
"Not till now!" I said, and threw the napkin back to him. I watched his expression as he opened it up. It started as one of disbelief, and then turned to irritation, before finally settling on a sly smile.
"You handled this better than I would've thought," Alice said, "You're so nice to everyone, I thought that you would say yes so you didn't hurt Edward's feelings."
"Hey, I'm only going to be nice to people who are nice back. Edward just wants me to be an addition to his girl list, so I see no need to be nice to him." I said.
EPOV
I was sitting with my group of guys. They were good buddies, popular, you know? I was better friends with Emmett and Jasper, but they sat with their girlfriends instead of me. They only go out with one girl at a time. I wish they would come sit over with us, they could be just as popular, but since they sit with Alice and Rosalie, I only see them on the weekends.
"So, you get Bella yet, Edward?" Mike asked.
"Not yet. She's playing hard to get. I'll have her eventually." I said.
"She's not like anyone I've met before...she's nice. You'd think that she would be snotty and rude, but she's not. She's a real person." He said again. I slapped him.
"Back off, Mike. I'll get her soon enough." I said, and then pounded fists with the guys. I picked up a napkin and grabbed a pen.
"In fact, I'm gonna write her a little note."
Bella
You have a nice figure. Just the way I like 'em.
3 Edward
I showed everyone and they hooted and laughed. I couldn't wait to see what she would write back. I threw it to her, and she opened it up. She kept her face smooth as she picked up a pen and wrote something back. She showed it to everyone and they laughed. Probably because she gave up so early. She threw it back.
Too bad I can't say the same about you. How many pieces of cake did you eat? 10? I've got one word for you...YIKES!
Bella :P
I stared at it in disbelief, which quickly turned to irritation. My figure is amazing. Way better than anyone else at the school's! I saw her smirking at me, and quickly turned my expression into a sly smile. I'd get her eventually. I was about to write back, but then decided on something better. I got up, winked at the guys, and went over to her table. I pulled a chair out and sat down. She looked irritated.
"Sup Edward." Emmett said.
"Hey, Emmett. Hey, Jasper. You guys really should come sit with us." I said. Jasper shook his head.
"Sorry Edward, but I like it much better over here with Alice."
"Suit yourself," I said, and turned to Bella, "So Bells, how's your day going? Have you rethought my offer?"
"Your offer to what? Give me an STD and then leave me somewhere?" She asked.
"Of course not. I don't have STDs. I just think you and I would make a great pair. Hottest couple at the school."
"Is that all you think about Edward? Who would look good with you? Does personality mean nothing to you?"
"Edward, leave her alone," Alice begged, "I really like Bella, and I don't want to lose my only girlfriend besides Rosalie because you were a jerk."
"Don't worry about it Alice. I won't ditch you cause I hate your brother." Bella said.
"Hate's a strong word." I said and looked at the clock, "Well I better go to class. Don't want to get a detention. Bye Rose, Alice, Em, and Jazz. I'll see you later." I turned to Bella, "Have a good day, Bells." I said. I left the cafeteria and went to my next class: Biology.
I was sitting alone in my Biology seat. I would love to sit with one of the guys, or a hot girl, but Mr. Banner thinks I'm "trouble" so I'm stuck here alone. Everyone else has a partner for labs and such, but not me. It's not fair. I was thinking about how much I hate this class when Mike walked in with Bella. Of course, I was irritated at first. Mike was supposed to stay away from her. But my irritation quickly turned to joy. There's only one open seat left. Next to me. I think I'm starting to like this class. I was thinking about how much I liked this class when I had an idea. A brilliant idea. I would put my plan into action after school. Bella walked up to Mr. Banner.
"Hi, I'm Bella Swan. I'm new here, and I just moved from Phoenix."
"Ah, Miss Swan. You'll be sitting next to Edward Cullen." Mr. Banner said, and looked over at me. He turned back to Bella.
"I'm sorry. If I had any other open seats, I'd let you sit there." He apologized.
"Don't worry about it. I'm sure I can make it through one period a day." She said.
BPOV
What exactly did I do to anger fate today? Not only is this the class with Edward in it, but the only open seat is next to Edward. I walked over, sighed, and sat down next to him. He scooted his chair closer. I moved mine away. Mr. Banner started lecturing, and I tried to listen. I would have been able to if Edward wasn't staring at me like a freak.
"Mr. Cullen! Please stop staring at Miss Swan. Let me tell you something, boy. If you're that desperate to get a girl, staring at her won't help you!" He yelled. I started laughing. Edward turned away, looking embarrassed as everyone started to laugh along with me.
Mr. Banner continued his lecture as if that interruption didn't happen and I was able to listen better, but not quite. Edward was looking over at my books. I didn't get what he was staring at, all I had out was my schedule and homework assignments. I checked to make sure my locker combination wasn't on the sheet. It wasn't, only my locker number was. He was probably copying my homework, but I didn't really care. A note landed on my desk. Of course.
What class do you have next?
Gym.
Me too! You just might get a glimpse of my gorgeous abs!
I really hope not.
Aw come on!
Edward. Leave me alone.
But what fun would that be? You're my new lab partner.
Thanks for reminding me.
You sure you don't want to go out?
Positive.
You will eventually.
When the fat lady sings, Edward...oh wait, I didn't mean to insult you! My mom always said to be nice to transgender obese people...
(A/N: I was gonna say, oh wait, I didn't mean to insult your mother, but I like Esme too much, lol.)
He took the note and read it. He looked insulted. I had to press my lips together to keep from laughing out loud. The bell rang, and I hopped up and went to the gym. I hated gym. I guess if there was one good thing about Forks, though, it was that we get to pick our own uniforms. None of those ugly gym shorts. You pick your own gym outfit you're comfortable in, and change into that every day. It was odd, but a nice plus. I went into the locker room to put on my bermuda sweats, converses, and stretch cotton shirt, and found Rosalie there.
"Hey, Rose!"
"Hey Bells! How was biology?" Rosalie asked.
"Ugh. Guess who I got put next to?"
"No! He put you next to Edward?! Bella I'm sorry!" She exclaimed. I laughed.
"That's what Alice said when I passed her in the hallway!"
"Do you have Alice in any classes?"
"I have her in government and lunch, but that's it." I said.
"Well, you've got me in gym and lunch, so that's two classes with your friends at least. How's your day been...besides Edward?"
"It's going good. Everyone's really nice here." I was going to go into more detail, but the teacher blew her whistle. I went out into the gym with Rosalie and saw all the girls on one side and the guys on the other. Edward waved. I ignored him.
"Alright class! For the rest of the year we are going to be working on ballroom dance. It's important that you learn this. Ballroom dance is an important part of a functional society, and since you've been doing all the other sports for the past 3 years, there's not much else I can teach you." She yelled. Of course, I was standing right next to her, so it was twice as loud. I was going to need a hearing aid by the end of this class.
"You will be partnered up with a student of the opposite gender. We have one more boy than girls so one lucky man will be paired with me. I have put you into random pairs, and there will be NO switching. For the first two months we are going to be learning the different dances and the basics. For the remainder of the year, you and your partner will have to choreograph a dance and will perform it for a final grade. Got it?" Everyone nodded. I crossed my fingers that I wouldn't be put with Edward. Rosalie got lucky and was put with Emmett. I was waiting anxiously for my name.
"Mike Newton! You will be paired up with me, you can wait over there in the front of the gym. Edward Cullen! You will be paired up with...Isabella Swan!" She yelled. Why? WHY?!
"DAM-ARN IT!" I said, remembering just a little too late that I was standing next to the teacher. I smiled at her, hoping she wouldn't realize it.
"Nice save Swan. If you're gonna swear, pick a better spot next time." She said. Rosalie shot me an apologetic smile. I rolled my eyes and turned my head towards Edward. She nodded understandingly.
"ALRIGHT! PAIR UP!" The coach yelled. Edward came over to me.
"Isn't it nice how this worked out?" He said.
"Uh, not really."
"Oh come on. You know you want me!"
"I want you almost as much as I want my head ripped off by a monkey."
"BELLA! I didn't realize you were so suicidal!" He said with faux surpise.
I rolled my eyes and waited for the coach to start talking. Ballroom dance. Perfect. Probably the sport that requires the most physical contact. And I get put with Edward. Not only is it just a unit, we have it for the rest of senior year, and we have to choreograph a dance for our final grade. Woopdeedoo. The coach had just finished demonstrating the "proper hold" which was much too close for my liking, but I stepped closer, put one hand on Edward's shoulder, and the other in his hand. I did have to admit that his shoulder was very nice...muscular...not that that makes up for his hideous character.
The rest of the class passed very slowly. Edward was constantly asking me out or hitting on me, and it was a very irritating class period. Finally the bell rang, and the day was over. (A/N: I know she only has five classes in this story, but just pretend that five classes is a normal number, ok? Thanks.)
I went into the front office to turn in my slip only to find Edward in there too, talking to the secretary.
"Um, miss, I was wondering if I could get a schedule change. It's quite major actually. I would like it in this order, please." He said. You could see the secretary getting flustered by his emerald green eyes staring beseechingly into hers. She was a little old for him though...he was, what, 18? She was about 70. Um, ew.
"I'm...uh...sure we can...er...change it. Why do you need it switched?"
"Its a...personal reason I'd prefer not to share."
"Well alright. Here's your new schedule." She handed him his new schedule. I couldn't figure out exactly why he switched it, until he walked up to me and whispered in my ear,
"Read it and weep."
He pushed the piece of paper, his new schedule, towards me, and I gasped. He switched his classes so he had them all with me! Trig, Government, English, Biology, then Gym. Ugh!
"I told you," he whispered again, "I always get the girl."
"Not this time." I whispered back, and then went up to give my slip to the secretary.
Hope you like it! Please review, constructive criticism means alot to me!
