Ok, I'm going to be gone for a while after this chapter so I'm going to try and update as much as possible after that. Hehe my little sister and I are going to the lake, I'm so excited. I never get to see her though since I moved out of my mom's house and stuff. But that's all in my profile.
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or any of the character. But i do own Alex:D
Chapter 3: Torn
"Really? Well I'm glad you did. And you know what, I need to get to class now, so we can talk later, ok?" I smiled one last time and walked away to trig where Edward and Alice were.
I didn't even give him a chance to reply. I didn't like the way just kept his hand on my waist, like it was his or something. He doesn't even know me and the only thing I knew about him is what I heard. I like him and all, but I do have morals, and he seriously crossed them.
I entered the classroom beating the bell by five seconds. Alice looked at me with a suspicious look in her eye. I don't know what I did this time, but I was sure to be interrogated.
I sat down and Mr. Markovets started lecturing. Alice turned to me and whispered in my ear. "I saw you talking to Edward this morning. So…?" Curiosity glinted in her eyes. She knew I had a date with Alex, but I never said how I felt about Eddy.
"Oh, he called me yesterday. You wouldn't know anything about that would you? Like how he got my number for one thing!" I whispered harshly back to her.
So looked so innocent sometimes. Her eyes went wide and she pointed towards herself like she was hurt that I thought she had something to do with it. Her bottom lip was pouting and her eyebrows shot up. Then her face fell back to normal when she was asked a question.
"Umm… sixty five?" She said without knowing the question. I laughed silently. In the corner in my vision I saw Edward slowly put his had up.
"Yes Edward?" Mr. Markovets said in a hopeful voice that one of his students actually paid attention in class. In this case he was right, and Edward answered with a perfect answer. Oh joy.
The rest of that class I answered questions and wrote small notes about the topic and little things that might help me in a test or something.
Finally lunch came. I went to an empty table to wait for Alice. That's when I saw him and Alice walk in together. Why is she talking to him? Why is he smiling? Why are they looking at me?! No stop coming this way! Please! NO!!!
I was screaming in my head. Edward had followed Alice in like a little lost puppy. My jaw dropped. He sat in front of my and Alice took her seat next to me. Someone pulled a chair to my other side and sat down. When I turned to see who it was I was surprised to see Alex. Some of his friends followed his lead and came to sit with us, along with Jessica who sat next to Edward.
What in the hell is going on?! Alex was polite and stuck to small talk like movies and music. Edward and Jessica were also animatedly talking. It annoyed me to no end. I turned to Alice finally and asked her again "Do you know how Edward got my number?" This time not so pointedly.
"No, I don't. I swear Bella I didn't have anything to do with it. You really don't like him do you?" She said more seriously this time.
"Not really. I just feel like he's competition. You know? I mean before he came I was just, I don't know. Well known I guess. I feel like he's starting to take my place." I said in a low voice so no one would hear.
After that the subject was dropped and I still didn't know how Edward got my number. There was only one way I was going to find out. I would have to ask him myself. I thought about asking him right there, but that might sour Jessica's mood and I didn't feel like going through a 'let's-hate-Bella' day coming from Jessica. She could and would ruin a person.
All during lunch Alice, Alex, and I talked. When Alex said something about our date Alice asked if he would mind if she and Jasper tagged along. He didn't seem very enthusiast about it but said that it would be fine.
Towards the end of day there was one class I was anxious about. Gym. I now knew to stay clear from Edwards's killer spikes, but sometimes I had a feeling he was aiming for me. It couldn't possibly be, but I still had my suspicions.
I quickly changed and was out on the court. I was just waiting there weren't many people out of the locker rooms yet. Someone tapped my shoulder so I turned around with a smile. "Yes?" I asked when I saw the topaz eyes staring at me. Edward.
"You never answered my question from this morning. Is everything ok?" He looked serious and slightly concerned.
"I was busy. I had homework and I thought you hung up on me. When I work I put my phone on silent so I don't get distracted. I'm sorry I didn't call you back, but when I was finished it was late and I didn't want to wake you up." I said in an easy lie. Not like my life is any of his business! "And I have a question for you to. How did you get my number exactly? I didn't give it to you so who did?" I asked crossing my arms.
"I asked one of the girls. I think she's one of your friends, Angela? I told her that I needed some help in biology, which is the truth. I didn't get a chance to tell you, but I would like you to tutor me in bio if that's ok, I mean." He said sheepishly with a slight blush. It was something that was very cute. Dream… I nearly blushed at the thought.
"Well, yeah I guess I could. But we would have to schedule it soon; we have a test coming up. What are you doing tomorrow?" I asked. Well, well, well Mr. Perfect isn't as perfect as everyone thought. He's actually asking for help. And from me! He is so losing to me. I smiled in wicked anticipation of being able to say I'm better than him.
Gym went smoothly for the most part. I didn't get hit from evil spikes and I did pretty well myself if I do say so. Everything was going great. I went back to the locker room and changed back to my skirt and shirt. Everything seemed pretty good. When I was leaving Edward caught up to me.
"Hey umm… I just wanted to say thank you in advance." He smiled at me and made my heart melt. Then something happened that I wasn't ready for. He leaned down. It seemed like it was in slow motion. My heart was beating like there was no tomorrow. I couldn't breath. My palms were getting sweating. His face was so close to mine. Everything seemed more acute and precise.
Then his face stopped an inch from mine. My face was red hot and bright red. He was looking directly in my eyes, a smile playing on his lips. I wanted to kiss him. The dream was still fresh in my mind. I wanted to feel his soft lips on mine. I didn't care at that moment who might be watching or what will be said. I forgot that I hated him to his very core. I just wanted one thing.
I wanted to kiss him so badly, to feel him close to me. I wanted him. I wanted to know everything about him, his past what he's going through now, and what he wants for the future. I mostly wanted him to kiss me right now. I know I shouldn't but I really wished he would just close that inch of space.
I didn't get it though. He just gave me a friendly hug and walked away with out another word. I was heart broken and relived at the same time. I walked to my truck in a daze. I couldn't believe what just happened. I couldn't believe how I was feeling about a boy I didn't even know.
I truck started with a thundering noise. On the way home it started to rain. I was barely aware of it though. I didn't even bother turning on the windshield wipers. I was on autopilot and nothing around me mattered.
When I got home my phone buzzed. I answer with an automatic and cheerful "Hello?"
"Hey Bella, its Alex. What are you doing tomorrow after school?" He was straight to the point today it seemed. I have plans with Edward. I could have plans with Alex. I don't know Edward, could use time to get to know him. I do know Alex; I could get to be friends or more with him. No, I have to go with my first commitment.
"Actually I'm tutoring the new guy." I said truthfully and slightly disheartened.
"Oh, well made some other time. I was hoping we could go out to dinner or something. I mean, we don't really know each other and I was hoping we could get become closer. I mean we can talk during lunch and in between classes, but I would really like it just to be the two of us." He said with hope filled in his voice.
"Well I have to go now. I have to start dinner tonight, so maybe I'll talk to you after. Ok?"
"Yeah that's fine. Talk to you later then."
"Ok, Bye." I shut my phone, completely torn. I hate Edward, and I'm confused with Alex. There was only one person that could help me. I picked my phone up and started dialing Alice's number. She always knew what to do.
Ok, that's all you guys are getting for now. Hope you like it! R& R! I'll be writing another chapter tonight and if I finish it I'll post it. If not you'll have to wait till I get home!!!
Bye!!!
