Beep Beep Beep…
Slamming my hand down on my alarm clock for the hundredth time, I groaned grabbing my phone to check the time and finally realized that I was running late for school. Tripping out of bed with a thump, I turned to my iPod radio dock and put on Sex on Fire by Kings of Leon. I then hurried into the hall, barging into the bathroom to jump into the shower.
Though the hot water felt amazing, the steam was actually putting me right back to sleep. "Fuck it…" grabbing the knob for the temperature well… goodbye hot water. I turned the knob towards the cold water. Not even 3 seconds later I felt the chill of the cold water running down my body making my nipples pucker to attention. That certainly woke me up without a doubt. I hurried to wash my hair and body and jumped out the shower in a hurry.
Grabbing a towel I ran to my room to hear my cell blaring out Rose's personal ringtone I'm a Barbie Girl, In a Barbie world. She does look like a Barbie, and there was the fact we met due to a Barbie shoe. "Oh my god! What!?" I yelled into the phone when I answered, while trying to throw on a blue Victoria Secret bra and pantie set on. "Don't 'omg' me you late bitch!" Rose yelled back. I couldn't help to laugh, she never sat back and took my shit.
"I know I'm running late, and that means you're running late. I get it. You're going to threaten my ass correct?" I babbled as I continued to throw on a navy blue romper that reached my mid thighs and flared out a little making it look like a dress. "Actually, I just wanted to let you know that I had a feeling that you were going to run late today and asked Emmett to get me" Rose responded with what I knew was a smirk on her face.
"Thank hoe!" I screeched hanging up and throwing my phone onto the bed as I put on my navy blue skippies and silver studs. Running back into the bathroom I grabbed the hair dryer to run it through my hair so I wouldn't leave the house with it too wet.
The only reason I was running this late was because it was Thursday and the cheer coach asked me on Tuesday to have a few cheer routines done by today for the football games that will be starting up soon. I honestly had no idea why we had a coach when she never actually taught us anything. Ever since I became a part of the cheer team, the captain and the co-captain always put together the routines, and ran the team. While Coach Christine did absolutely nothing. So now I had to suffer with only two hours of sleep due to her neglect and easy pay.
The past two days were nothing but the big startup of classes. English already had us reading some Edward Allan Poe stories, which The Black Cat was always my favorite. In Drama we gave our debate on which story to practice for the play on Tuesday, while on Wednesday we argued some more and had to make a vote. I made sure all my friends voted for Wuthering Heights, while I have no idea what the rest of the class voted for. In French class we started to learn the alphabet, and keyboarding class was just typing. So I'm going to suffer with that all year.
But the main issue here is that I haven't seen Edward around at all. The last I saw of him was on Monday after the cheer practice with the freshman that are going to be trying out officially, tomorrow. Which I am excited for. I know I've certainly seen Alice around, she was definitely a character. Maybe he was sick?
Once I got all my stuff together, leaving my hair partially wet and wavy down my back, I grabbed a banana an rushed out to my truck. Lucky for me my gym bag was still in the car. Turning on the radio I jammed out to Rich Girl by Gwen Stefani.
When I finally pulled into the school I checked my phone to see it was 9:15. That wasn't too bad. It definitely could have been much worse considering the final bell rings at 8:45.
English went by fast, after I ran in with my head down of course. Walking into Drama I saw Rose sitting next to Emmett and Jasper. "Hey guys" I cheered up while I sat in front of Rose while the three were all behind me. "Hey Sleeping Beauty! I heard that you were a zombie and couldn't get up to save your life this morning!" Emmett boomed out.
I couldn't help but to glare at Rose "That is only because Rose couldn't help, she was too busy presenting her case to her parents on why she should be able to drive her car again". I get it, I was being grumpy today but I really wish I was able to at least get another hour of sleep. I couldn't go home right away after school since I had to present my first few routines to Coach Christine so I can get her approval to go ahead with teaching the rest of the squad.
"It's not like it worked, I had a power point and everything and they still said no!" Rose whined. "What did you do in order for your parents to take away your car?" Jasper asked with curiosity. Emmett and I couldn't help but to burst out in laughter, which only made Jasper more confused.
"Rose here thought it would be a good idea to race a professional speed racer, and get pulled over by the cops on the highway. The dude got away with it, but obviously she didn't" I giggled. "Yea, the cops thought she stole the car and was on the run!" Emmett continued. Rose just huffed as Mr. Banner walked in.
"Hello class, I know class has already started but I was in the office approving our new student! Say hello to Edward Cullen" my head shot towards the door once I heard his name. My eyes widen to saucers as I saw him standing in the doorway looking quite hesitant.
I could hear Rose giggle behind me when she clearly saw my expression. But when I turned back to stick my tongue at her I caught the look of my best friend Jasper. I should have known he would catch my expression because he looked… jealous? Sighing, I slumped in my seat and tried to ignore the hot beast in the doorway. I really had no idea what I was going to do with Jasper, I cared for him, but I couldn't see myself going out with me. Maybe I should just give him a chance and see what happens?
I watched as Edward sat beside me since that was the only seat available, not only because it was in the front of the class but because for some reason people were intimidated by me. Which was dumb because I would think I'm a nice person but whatever.
"Okay class there seems to have been a tie between two stories for the play you guys will be practicing for and perform in the middle of the year" Mr. Banner concluded after half the class started moaning in protest. "Sorry guys but since the new student did not vote I will give him the two options and he shall choose, but I need two people to come up that voted on either side to present their case".
Knowing that one of the choices had to be Wuthering Heights I was trying to think of ways on how to present the case, since I am the one that pressed my friends to vote for this book so I know I would be the one going up.
"The choices are Romeo and Juliet and Wuthering Heights. So first I would ask someone that voted for Romeo and Juliet to come up and present your case" Mr. Banner said before he went to go sit down at his desk in the back corner. It was quiet before Kate stood up and walked to the front. I can only imagine what she was going to say.
"First I would like to introducemyself, my name is Kate" Kate smiled, while reaching out to shake Edwards's hand, which he shook with discomfort. I couldn't help but to chuckle. Edward did not give warm welcomes as far as I could see.
Clearing her throat she started "Romeo and Juliet is a classical love story that ended with the death of both Romeo and Juliet. This was due to both their families being enemies. I would like to bring this story to life for our school" she said before adding "and I think you would make a great Romeo, and I Juliet" with that Kate went back to her seat with a smile. I heard Rose snort behind me and I couldn't help but to laugh.
"You probably wouldn't even be able to pay him to kiss you Kate" Emmett roared with laughter and everyone in the class couldn't help but to laugh at his antics. I took a chance to glance at Edward and though he had his hands over a face I saw his lips turned up in a slight smile. Was that because of what she said, or Emmett?
"Well then… next up Wuthering Heights" With that I stood up with hesitance because I still didn't really know what to say to present my choice. What would catch his attention? With that I knew what to do.
With a smile I turned towards the front and lowered my head to cause dramatic effect and lifted it back up slowly and caught his eyes "He wanted all to lie in an ecstasy of peace; I wanted all to sparkle and dance in a glorious jubilee, I said his heaven would be only half alive; and he said mine would be drunk: I said I should fall asleep in his; and he said he could not breathe in mine." When I finished I heard the class start to clap, I smiled a as I returned to my seat.
Once I sat down and settled I heard Edwards's sweet silky voice like silk quote "Terror made me cruel . . ." looking up toward him I saw he was starring right at me. I couldn't help but to think that maybe he was so cruel to me because he was scared of what we could possibly have together.
O.o
"Good job Bella, the routines are great and have a great flare to them that I did not see last year. You can proceed to teach the team next week" Coach Christine congratulated me after I gave a brief demonstration of what the team would be doing during the games. This was only the beginning, I already had some things worked out when it came to the actual competitions.
When I walked out of the gym with my bag in tow I couldn't help to think back to drama class. Edward actually chose to do Wuthering Heights and I was extremely excited! I knew Kate was extremely pissed by the way she pushed me while she walked out of classat the end of the period. But it was not my fault he chose it, she shouldn't have scared him away with her last comment.
"BELLA! Hello! I'm trying to catch up to you!" I heard Rose yell from behind me. "Oops, sorry I didn't hear you… lost in thought and all that jazz" I said while waiting for her to catch up, I was already by my car. "Were you thinking of the new tall dark and handsome, or jazz?" she asked out of breath but with curiosity coloring her tone.
"I was actually thinking about the championships this year. We need to come up with the best routines, and if we are lucky maybe we can go to the UCA. But that's only if we win championships for the state" I rambled, I really wanted this for our team. It would be hard work but certainly worth it. We might actually have to get some guys on the team to make things work.
"I know Bella, going to the UCA has been your wet dream since you joined the squad and binged on YouTube videos of the event"
"It's not all I think about, but I think it would be pretty great. But as for Edward and Jasper, well I don't know. Edward helped out today when it came to choosing Wuthering Heights but otherwise seems to avoid me."
"Bella shut up! You only known him all of three days and you're already scared of him avoiding you? You're pathetic. Also, Jasper is so into you. I don't get why you just don't give him a chance, at least think about it before you just throw him off the mountain side." She huffed in annoyance.
Ignoring the conversation I moved on "Need a ride home?"
O.o
Friday was flying by and the only thing left I had to worry about was the actual tryouts. I had to make sure that these girls knew how to do some decent back flips. I would still take girls that didn't, but they at least needed to know how to dance or they would never be able to go to the competitions.
On the way to the locker rooms to change before the practice, which I know the pervy football players were going to watch, I saw Edward leaning against his locker and couldn't help but to look at how hot he was. He was dressed in dark jeans and a black t-shirt that clung to his body. I knew he had to have abs, which I just wanted to lick to my satisfaction. When my gaze wandered back up to his eyes I saw that he was staring at me as well. I just couldn't tell if he wanted to push me or kiss me, but that stare was sexy.
"Edward…" I said taking a step towards him.
"Bella…" he said taking a step back, and looking around.
"Hmmm, I was wondering. You're new and you haven't actually met anyone, not that it seems as though you are trying…" I stopped when I saw he decided to walk closer to me to the point that I can smell him cologne on his shirt. "But… would you like to go to the first week party?" I choked out.
"I will think about it" he said walking away. Whoa! Wait what?
"Wait!" I yelled spinning around… "You're actually going to think about it?"
"Yup" he said without losing his stride and left through the back exit by the locker room. I couldn't believe it. Besides what happenedin drama yesterday, that is the first time I got a decent response from him.
Running into the locker room I changed quickly so I was able to run out onto the field where the group of freshman were waiting, I was surprised to see that there were about five guys. I did say I needed some guys for lifting on the team so this was a pleasant surprise.
"I see you caught the guys. They are apparently new, and all brothers. They claimed they wanted to be on the team because they use to be on an All-Star team in California before their father and mother divorced and landed here with the dad" Rose explained in my ear. I found that all of them seemed to be really cute so why not? "They can try the routine with the girls" I said as I stretched on the floor really quickly.
I couldn't help but to look at them closely as they stretched and did some back flips. They are really close in age, some of them had to be twins if they were all in high school. Deciding to go introduce myself, because they would be the only guys on the team as far as I couldsee, they would end up being really important.
"Hey guys!" I said walking up to the five guys. "My name is Bella, and I will be your captain, I'm glad to say that you're on the team! Only reason that you guys aren't trying out is because I can see you all can do back flips and tricks already that we can really use" I smiled to them as they all gave me their undivided attention.
One of them walked up to me and shook my hand, he was way taller than me with my height only reaching his chest, and he had hazel eyes with brown hair reaching his shoulder. You can tell he worked out a lot due to his build. "My name is Marcus Volturi, I'm a senior, and these are my brothers. As you can tell my dad couldn't keep it in his pants and ended up with two pairs of twins" he smirked. I couldn't help but to smile at his antics, I have a feeling him and Iwould get along well. "But the first pair of twins are Felix and Demetri, they are juniors. Then my twin brothers Alec and Caius, they are sophomores."
After shaking his hand I went along to greet the rest of them. I saw while Demetri and Felix were fraternal twins, Alec and Caius were identical twins. Which I find extremely awesome. While Demetri and Felix were huge and looked more like Marcus, the two younger ones were medium build and completely with blonde hair and blue eyes. This was going to be an interesting year with these guys.
Clapping my hands together and turning toward everyone I yelled, "Okay guys! Let's get started!"
I had to stop there, due to the fact that the chapter would have been 7k words if I would have continues to where I wanted to leave off. But it's okay! You will see some partying in the next chapter!
But do you think Bella should give jasper a chance? No matter what this story is going to be a Bella and Edward story, and once they kick it off, this story will get VERY DARK, VERY DRAMATIC, and a bit SEXUAL. It's preppy now, but there will be a turn soon.
Let's see how many comments we can get before next week! I want to know your theories on what you think might be happening soon! =D
Lots of love! Melzz =D
