A/N: I decided to make this chapter in Edward's point of view, about his first day of school and his thoughts on meeting Bella and his feelings towards Jessica.
I hope you all enjoy!
Chapter 3: Forks High School (EPOV)
EPOV:
As I get out of my car at school, me and Jessica walk hand and hand towards our friends, I can't help but feel depressed that school is starting again. I can't believe how fast summer had gone. My summer was spent mostly with Jessica, sometimes we would hangout with Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie but not often, and never Mike because Jess and him don't really like each other. Jessica said she wanted alone time with me, which I didn't mind because alone time with Jess meant sex, and what guy would turn that down.
But things with Jess had changed since we first started going out, about 2 years ago. At first it was all so new and eventful, but lately it has been getting boring and dull. Everything about our relationship is predictable, I knew exactly what she was going to say before she said it. Now, some would say that is a good thing in a relationship to be able to finish each others sentences, and it may be cute from the outside looking in but from where I am standing listening to Jess ramble on about something. I find is all so annoying. I want excitement, not predictability.
I have been thinking about breaking up with Jessica, but I just can't find the heart to do it. She is such a sweet girl, and she tells me all the time that she loves me, but I can't seem to say it back. I feel like a horrible person, but I can't help that I am not longer interested in her. Plus Jessica is best friends with my sister, Alice, and I would never hear the end of it from her, if I broke Jess's heart.
I'm pulled out of my thoughts, when I hear the bell ring telling us that we had 10 minutes to get to class. I walk Jess to her 1st period class just like a good boyfriend should, and when she kisses me goodbye and tells me she will see me after class, I feel nothing. No spark, no excitement, no nothing.
I walk into my 1st period class and take a seat in the back, I'm not in the mood to be talked to right now. 1st period went my quick enough, and I walk out of my class and over towards Jessica, she kisses me hello and asks me how my first class was I just shrug my shoulders and walk Jess to her next class.
****
Later I walk into 4th period, American History, see Mike sitting in the corner, I headover to sit with him. Mike and I have known each other since 1st grade, and even though most people think he's annoying, he's my best friend. He can be a jerk sometimes but he is always there for me when I need him to be. And the best thing about Mike is he always takes my side.
"Hey, Ed, did you hear about the new girl?" Mike asked me as soon as I sat down.
New girl, I didn't know there was anybody new here, how did I miss that. "What new girl?"
"Aw, man, come on, Belle Swan. She's Chief Swan's daughter. She just moved here from Phoenix."
"Oh, I didn't know." I really hadn't heard anything about her, but I really haven't had much contact with people, since I spent most of my time alone with Jess.
"Dude, how do you not know?" Mike asked, while giving me a puzzled look.
I just shrugged my shoulders.
"Whatever, but this girl hot! She has a pretty face and banging body." Mike said, while smirking.
"Really?"
"Yeah, Edward you gotta meet her. Maybe she'll even get you to dump that thing." Mike said, referring to Jessica.
Mike was the only person that knew I wasn't happy with Jessica. He hadn't liked Jess since the moment we started dating. He always said I could do better, and he didn't understand why I just settled. "Maybe." I told him. I wanted to meet this girl now.
"I sure hope so, but if you aren't interested I'll take her." Mike said smiling.
I laughed, Mike will be Mike "I'll let you know."
The rest of the class passed by quickly, and when the bell rang signaling lunch time, me and Mike grabbed our things and were the first out of class.
When we entered the lunch room, I immediately began looking around for the new girl Mike had been talking about. I scanned the lunch room but I couldn't find anybody that was unfamiliar. Mike and I walked over to the table where our friends were already sitting. I gave Jessica a kiss on the cheek, and sat down and listened to all the conversations that were taking place at the table, I would casually nod in a agreement, but I wasn't focused. All I could think about was how much Jess's voice really annoyed me.
I was thanking god when I heard the bell ring, meaning I was free to go to my next class. I had AP Bio next, I love science I want to be a doctor one day like my dad so I was taking all the science classes that I could. I walked into class right before the bell rang, and I walked over to the empty seat, all the way by the window. There was a girl already sitting at the table. She was drawing on her binder, she looked kind of shy. I sat down and Mr. Benner, started talking about the class and us being partners with the person at out table. I looked back at the girl. "Hey partner, I'm Edward." I said, which made her look at me.
This was her, the new girl Mike was talking about. He was so wrong though, she wasn't pretty, she was beautiful. She has gorgeous chocolate brown eyes, and long brown hair. I would love to reach over and run my hand threw it. "Ah, I I'm B..Bella." She looked so flustered. I could see her start to blush. She looked even more beautiful when she blushed.
I couldn't help but laugh at how nervous and flustered she looked. "Well it is very nice to meet you B..Bella." "So where are you from?"
She told me she was from Phoenix, but wouldn't tell me why she moved here. She said it was personal but I wanted to know more. I wanted to know everything about her. But I just smiled at her, I didn't want her to get freaked out by me if I started asking a bunch of questions.
She smiled back me, and I couldn't help but get caught up in her eyes. She was beautiful, and sweet. She wasn't like all the other girls in the school who would try to flaunt themselves in front of me, no she was shy and trying to hide from me. My eyes traveled from her eyes, to her lips. She has wonderful, full pink lips. What I would give to be able to kiss her right now.
Mr. Benner broke the staring contest we had, by telling us about the up coming Science Fair and that we had to submit a project. At first it completely bummed me out because I hated doing projects, but when he said we would be working on it with out lab partners, my world suddenly became brighter. That meant I would get to spend time with Bella. I was going to figure out a way for us to do the project outside of school, this way I had an excuse to see her.
Me and Bella talked for a minute about the project but the bell rang breaking the moment, and meaning I had to leaving Biology and Bella.
She grabbed her things so quickly and basically ran out of class. I threw my books in my backpack and ran out of class after her. "Hey, Bella, wait up." I called as I ran up to her. I was suppose to go meet Jess but I didn't want to leave Bella yet, so I guess Jess will just have to deal. "What do you have next?' Please say gym.
"Gym." She said, sounding a bit depressed about it.
This was great, I had another class with her. We walked to gym in silence, she didn't seem like she wanted to talk to me, but that's ok, I'll do all the talking then.
We got to gym and coach told to go change out. We I walked out of the boys locker room, I noticed Bella sitting on the bleachers reading a book.
I walked up next to her and sat down. "Hey, why are you reading?" I asked her.
"Because I want too." She told me. I think she was being sarcastic.
"Well duh, but why in the middle of gym?"
"Because I hate gym, I'm the biggest klutz ever and I don't want to brake my neck on the first day of school."
I couldn't help but chuckle. I could picture her as the clumsy type. "Ok, I understand your position. Well since we are sitting here not doing gym, why don't we brain storm for ideas for our project."
Just then I saw Emmett walk up to us "Hey, Ed lets play basketball."
I looked at Bella and then towards Emmett. "Nah, I think I'm just going to stay here."
"Okaay." Emmett gave me a looking, which I knew meant I had some explaining to do today at practice. I nodded at him, agreeing we would talk later. And I looked back at Belle "Ok, anyways brain storming." I told her.
We didn't really brainstorm we started talking a little, she told me she hate science but wanted to get into a good college. Wow a girl that is interested more in her grades then herself, I liked that. At least I knew she wasn't fake. I told her that I wanted to be a doctor like my dad and she seemed surprised that I was actually intelligent.
The bell rang, meaning it was the end of the day, I should have been excited but I wasn't I wanted to keep talking to this girl that I just met, there was so much I wanted to know. But I knew I had to leave, I had to get to football practice.
"Well I should get changed, I have to get to practice." I said as I stood up, grabbing my things.
"Yeah, I have to go meet my dad." Bella said while standing, and losing her balance. I reached out and grabbed her by the arm, to stop her from falling.
"Whoa, don't fall." I told me as I steady her. I could feel the warmth of her skin against mine, it was so soft.
"Ah, yyeah that happens a lot." She told him, as she started to blush.
"Well be careful." I told her, and then I removed my hand. "I'll see ya tomorrow Belle." I said and left to go into the boys locker room. I had to get out of there, touching her made me get this feeling that I have never felt before, and it scared me.
I changed into my practice football gear right away, I knew I was going to get hell from Jess for not meeting her but I didn't feel like being around her right now. I needed to think and being around her wouldn't help.
I was sitting on the bench in front of my locker when I heard Mike and Emmett walk in. Oh great! Here comes the 20 questions.
"Yo, Eddie!" Emmett said, as he ruffled my hair. I really hated when people called me that.
"Hey, Edward" Mike said while opening his locker. I nodded my head as my hello.
" So Eddie boy, who was that girl you were talking to in gym?" Emmett asked as he sat next to me to put on his shoes.
I knew this was coming, Emmett could never let anything be left alone. He had to question everything.
"What girl?' Mike asked, while walking towards us.
"Bella Swan." I said to them both, with a smile on my face. I couldn't help but grin when talking about her. She was so beautiful and intelligent.
"Ohh, I see." Mike said, smirking at me.
"See…See what? I don't get it. Who's Bella?" Emmett asked. He looked so lost.
"Bella Swan, is Chief Swan's daughter, she just moved here from Phoenix. And Eddie over there has a crush on her." Mike said to Emmett, while still holding a smile.
"I don't have a crush on her." I said to them. Did I have a crush on her? Nah I just met her, I couldn't like her already.
I looked over at Emmett and it looked like he finally understood what Mike was talking about. "What about Jessica?"
"Emmett, I just met this girl. We aren't running off to get married. And didn't you hear me I said I don't have a crush on her." I said.
"Edward, come on. I know you aren't happy with Jess." Mike said while giving me a look. "At least admit you like Bella."
"What makes you think I like her, Mike?"
"The way you were looking at her today." Emmett said before Mike had a chance to reply. "Plus you got that stupid grin on your face when you said her name a minute ago."
Yeah I guess he was right. Just the thought of Bella made me smile, but I still didn't know much about her. I couldn't try and go hook up with her. "I guess you're right." I said smiling a little.
"Of course we are." Mike said "So when are you going to dump that bitch?"
"Mike!" I said, she was still important to me.
"What?!? I don't like her." He said while standing up to put his bag in his locker.
"I think you should break up with Jess." Emmett said, out of no where. I gave him a confused look, and he continued. "Look, I like Jess she's a sweet girl but if you aren't happy and you like another girl, then why make yourself miserable."
"Thanks, Em." That was the most insightful thing Emmett has every said. Maybe there was a brain in there after all.
"Yeah of course bro, but beware of Alice and Rose."
He was right. Jessica Alice and Rose where best friends, and I knew Alice and Rose were going to kill me when I broke up with Jess.
The coach came out of his office and told all of us to head out to the field so we could start practicing. Practice was about 2 hours long but I wasn't focused, all I could think about was what I was going to say to Jess, and how much I wanted to see Bella again.
After practice was over, I went in the locker room and took a shower. I figured the sooner I broke up with Jessica the better. So I figured tonight was as good as any. I pulled out my cell, and called Jess. I told her that I wanted to talk to her, and she said that I could come over to her house, cause her parents weren't home.
I agreed and headed outside to my car. The entire ride to Jessica's I was thinking about what I was going to say. I didn't want to be mean because I do care about her. She is a sweet girl, and she was always good to me. It was killing me that I was going to break her heart. But I had to do this, Emmett was right, I was miserable and I didn't want to be anymore.
I pulled into her drive way, and I got out of the car. I knocked on her door and waited a minute for her to answer. When she finally did, she was wearing nothing but a t-shirt that fell mid-thigh. Whoa! She was not making this easy. She grabbed my hand and pulled me inside and towards the couch. She climbed on top of me and started kissing me, and it was making it hard to think. Jessica has a gorgeous body, and she knew exactly how to us it to her advantage.
But no, not tonight I had to do this, I had to break up with her. As I felt her hands, pull at the hem of my shirt, I grabbed her hands. She looked at me, with a seductive smile. "Jess we need to talk." With that simple statement, her smile fell.
"Ah, okay." She said moving off of me. "What about?"
Come on Edward you can do this, you have to do this.
I stood up from the couch and paced the living room for a second, then I stopped in front of her. "Jessica, I want to break up." There I said it, not to bad. I looked at her face, as it went completely pale. Her face went from shocked, to sad, and then to angry.
"WHAT?!?" She screamed, as she stood up from the couch to stand in front of me.
"Jess, I think it's for the best that we break up." I said quickly, I didn't expect her to get so angry, well I don't know what I expected but it wasn't this.
"IT'S FOR THE BEST! FOR WHO? ME OR YOU?? BECAUSE IT SURE AS HELL ISN'T WHAT I WANT" She screamed at me, while tears started to fall.
I didn't know what to do, I hated to see her cry and I felt even worst for being the one to make her cry. "I'm sorry Jess, but I just…well I don't feel the same way anymore." I told her, truthfully. I picked up my hand to wipe away her tears but she slapped my hand away.
"DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME! HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME EDWARD, I THOUGHT WE WERE HAPPY, I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME."
"I'm sorry. I don't know what to say, I never meant to hurt you." I told her. I really didn't want to hurt her but I didn't know what else I could do.
"WELL GUESS WHAT, YOU DID! GET OUT! GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME EDWARD." She screamed, while punching me in the chest.
"I'm so sorry, Jessica." I said quietly, while walking out of her house.
I got in my car, and I felt a sense of mixed emotions run through me. I was happy that I was free, and I didn't have to pretend anymore. But I hated myself for breaking Jessica's heart. I never wanted this to happen but I couldn't help it.
I looked down at my watch, 8:12. I turned on my car and headed for home. I figured I would get shit from Alice as soon as I got home. I knew Jessica was going to call her.
I pulled up to my house and grabbed my backpack from the backseat of my car and walked inside the house. When I walked in I could hear my mother in the kitchen.
"Hey mom." I said, as I went to give her a kiss on the cheek.
"Oh, honey you are home late."
"Yeah, I had football after school and then I had to make a stop." I told her while grabbing a soda out of the refrigerator.
"Ok, are you hungry? I saved you some dinner." My mom asked as she when to grab the cookies out of the oven.
"No thanks mom, I think I'm going to just go to bed. It was a long day."
"Ok, sweetie, goodnight." She said smiling at me.
"Night mom."
I left the kitchen and walked up the stairs.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH! HOW COULD YOU JUST BREAK HER HEART LIKE THAT?" Alice screamed at me, as I reached the top of the stairs.
"Alice, I'm really not in the mood for this." I really didn't want to deal with Alice's bullshit right now.
"TOO BAD! YOU ARE GOING TO LISTEN TO ME." Alice yelled as she followed me.
I opened my bedroom door, and turned back to her. "No I'm not. So GO AWAY!" I yelled and slammed my door.
"THIS IS NOT OVER EDWARD!" She yelled threw the door.
I walked over to my bed and laid down. God what a day. I had met the most beautiful girl in the world. She wasn't like the other girls that I hung around with, no she was different. She wasn't fake or self absorbed like those other girls, she was smart and laid back. I could tell that I made her nervous, but she made me nervous too, I just tried to hide it. I loved her blush, it made her look even more beautiful, if that was even possible. I knew I felt some kind of feelings towards her, so I was going to use every moment I had to get to know her even better. I knew tomorrow I was going to have to deal with Jessica and all that shit, but as long as I got to see Bella in Biology, then I was happy.
A/N: How did you like this chapter?? What did you think about Edward's view on Bella, and Jessica?
I just want to say that, I know a lot of people don't like Mike and Jessica, but I want to make them decent people in my story. I actually like Mike's character so that's why I wanted to make him Edwards best friend. I was thinking about throwing Jacob in the story somewhere but I'm not sure where.
Review Please!!!!
