As Edward and I walked to class I was actually freaking out a little. I've never actually been nervous around a guy before. Almost like I was afraid of saying the wrong thing.
"So," I said, breaking our silence, "Alice never told me where you're from."
"Italy," he said.
"Really?" I said, "I've always wanted to learn Italian!"
He smiled at me. Got that smile… "I'll make you a deal," he said.
I smiled. "Sure," I said.
"You teach me some American things and I'll teach you Italian."
"Sounds fair."
"I think so too."
I laughed. "So why don't you have a strong accent or anything?" I asked.
"I've traveled around a lot so I don't really have an accent," he said, "But I do have a small accent, it's just not noticeable."
I nodded and we walked into English. I found and empty seat and Edward went to talk to the teacher about the special accommodations he gets.
"Guys," Mr. Johnston said to us, "This is Edward; he's a foreign exchange student, so I want all of you to help him this year. Edward, why don't you find someone to sit with for the year that can help you out if there is anything you don't get?"
"Hi, Edward," Tanya said, "Why don't you see with me? I'll help you out?" I rolled my eyes. Tanya is such a whore. She goes after all the guys. Leave it to her to go after Edward… Can't say I blame her though, he is really hot.
Edward smiled at Tanya. "No thank you," he said, "I'm going to sit with Bella."
Then Edward walked back and sat next to me. I smiled at him and he winked. Edward moved his desk closer to mine so we could work together.
"So, what did everyone do over the summer?" Mr. Johnston asked.
A couple kids started telling stories, but I was barley paying attention. I was trying to focus on not dying because Edward was so close to me.
Then I looked at Edward's face and saw he looked really confused. "What's wrong?" I asked.
He looked at me. "I don't get anything they're saying," he said.
"Oh!" I said, "I forgot that you didn't know some of the things they say. Just tell me what you don't get and I'll try to explain it."
"What the heck is swag?" he asked.
I smiled a little. "Swag is like someone's style," I said.
"What does "slow your roll" mean?" he asked, "What roll? And why do you want to slow it down?" I started laughing to myself, trying not to draw any attention to us. "Stop laughing at me!" he said.
Damn it. "I'm not laughing at you, Edward," I said, "It's just cute that you don't know some of these things. I know that you don't understand the way we talk. I'm sorry I laughed."
He smiled. "You think I'm cute?" he asked.
I felt the blush rise on my face. "Slow your roll means calm down," I said, ignoring his question. He just smiled and looked back at the rest of the class.
…
When the bell rang I walked Edward to his 2nd period so he wouldn't get lost. I was kind of mad that this was one of the classes we don't have together, but it's only because I have French as my foreign language, he has Spanish.
"Here we are," I said when we got to his class.
He turned to me and smiled. Then he leaned down and kissed my head before saying, "Penso che tu sia carino."
Now I'm going to tell you something, if I thought Edward was the hottest thing ever, I was wrong. Edward speaking Italian... Now that's something else. That's like so hot you almost pass out due to a heat stroke! "I don't know what that means," I said softly.
He chuckled and leaned down to my ear. "I think you're cute too," he whispered. Then he turned nad went to class.
(A/N) So for all of you who actually speak Italian, I know that might not be an exact translation. I used Google Translate to figure it (because I sadly can't speak Italian no matter how much I want to) out and I know that Google Translate isn't always exact. I tried though! Lol. So please review!
KONY 2012!
