Chapter Four

Isabella Point Of View

I sighed, throwing my heavy bag onto the cafeteria table before slumping onto the nearest empty chair.
"What's wrong?" Rosalie asked with a mouth full of half chewed lettuce. Even without manners she was still stunningly beautiful. I glanced around the room, checking to see if he was near. He wasn't.

"Edward's avoiding me." I huffed, grabbing my bottle of lemonade from my bag before thumping it on the table.

"What makes you say that?" Alice piped in, leaning forward in interest. Suddenly I realised that I sounded like a petulant child that has had her toys taken away. I mean why was I getting so worked up about it? I had only known him a week for Christ sakes. But ever since I had show him around Forks, he seemed to go out of his way to stay away from me. Just simple things, like if I walked up to him, he would walk away. Or he ignored me when I spoke him and would strike up conversation with the nearest person to him. I would have thought he was ignorant but the way he was the first day showed me that he was anything but ignorant. No, he was avoiding me.

"Nothing really. It's just the vibe I'm getting." I lied, nothing really wanting to sound like I was paranoid. Just then, Edward walked through the doors, effectively ending the conversation. He took the seat next to Alice, the farthest one from me, forcing Jasper to sit next to me. I sighed again, for the tenth time today before taking out and eating my packet of salt and vinegar chips. I couldn't help but scowl as Alice laughed at something Edward said. Snap out of it Bella! I mentally scolded myself for acting so stupid. I engaged conversation with Jasper but he could tell I wasn't really concentrating.

"Is something the matter Bella?" Jasper was so good at reading people. That may be why he had his heart set on being a psychologist. I nodded, giving him a pained smile that said I will tell you later. He caught on, winking at me in acceptance. I couldn't help the giggle that escaped my mouth. Even when I was really upset, Jasper could make me laugh like no one else. He was like a big brother to me. I elbowed him in the stomach, a little harder than I intended causing him to recoil in pain.

"Crap! Jasper are you okay?" He nodded, but was still hunched over. Guilt washed over me. Suddenly he jumped up, pulling a funny face, causing the table to abrupt in laughter.

"That wasn't funny!" I whined, pouting out my lips playfully. My head whipped as I heard chair scrape across the floor and Emmett sat down before kissing Rose passionately. Alice gagged playfully causing them to remember where they were. Rose pulled away, straightening out her messy hair. Emmett winked at her suggestively, causing the whole table to groan in unison. Emmett smirked, chuckling loudly.

"Oh before I forget, is everyone free tonight?" He asked, scanning our faces as we all replied yes.

"Great! My mum wants to meet everyone and it gives us a reason to hang out," Emmett told us, causing my face to go pale. Go to Edwards house. The Edward that had been avoiding for the past week.

"Bella? Are you okay? You look green," Rosalie asked as I nodded gently. I swallowed thickly, unable to get rid of the lump that had risen in my throat.

"I'm fine. It sounds fun." I offered, lying slightly. Okay, it was a full blown lie. It sounded the opposite of fun. They all looked at me like I was insane. I gave them an unconvincing, reassuring smile. I spent the rest of lunch nibbling at my peanut and jelly sandwich, not talking as they made plans for tonight. I nodded at the right times but most of all zoned off.

"So what do you think Bella?" Emmett asked, breaking my bubble.

"Sorry?

"I was thinking maybe you could try some traditional British food, what do you think?"

"What would you call 'traditional British food'?" I said, wondering what types of food they eat.

"Well I suppose the main ones are fish and chips, Sunday dinners, chip butty and bangers and mash," Emmett stated, causing Jasper to irrupt in laughter.

"What the hell is bangers and mash?" he struggled to say between laughing. Emmett however did not seem amused.

"Har har. Very funny. It means sausages and mash potatoes." Edward didn't seem amused either, instead he seemed upset. He coughed deeply, clearing his throat. He looked uncomfortable as he wriggled in his seat. The bell rang, signalling the end of lunch. He jumped at the sound, practically running out of the cafeteria. Emmett sighed, picking up his backpack off the floor.

"Look, you got to understand that Edward is a home bird. He misses England more than you can imagine. So could you please lay off the jokes for a bit?" He asked, his face creased in pain.

"Course man," Jasper spoke, slapping Emmett shoulder. "I understand."

"No you don't man. You only moved state, not continent." Emmett was serious for a second, before a smile erupted his face.

"So do you want to meet us at the car park and then you can follow us?" We all nodded solemnly, still guilty about upsetting Edward. He and Rose skipped off while Alice and Jasper wondered to their next class, leaving me on my own. Slowly I walked towards biology, pulling on my bag strap nervously. Walking into the half empty classroom, I sighed deeply, something that had become a ritual in the past week. Edward sat at our table, tapping his pen on the table in musical beats. He looked up at me when I sat down, frowning slightly, causing me to recoil. I pulled out my text book, writing out the information on the board. He continued tapping his pen, the sound starting to annoy me. I gritted my teeth, breathing deeply through my nose. My hand reached out, grabbing his to stop it's movements. I threw him a pointed look and told him to stop it, before going back to writing.

"You don't have to come you know," He said, starting to tap his pen again.

"I know, I want to." I lied, grabbing his hand again, the contact sending chills down my spine.

"You're lying. You don't make eye contact when you lie." He pointed out, not moving my hand that covered his. Mr Banner started talking in his monotone voice, trying to gain control of the class. It was almost painful for me to remove my hand, but I mustered up the strength, breaking the contact. Mr Banner droned, boring half the class close to sleep. After thirty minutes of continues ranting, the teacher finally shut up, leaving the class to do their experiment. We worked quickly and swiftly, avoiding eye contact and barely speaking. The bell rang and he stood up, practically running out of the room. Rolling my eyes, I picked up my bag and walked towards the direction of Phys ed. It passed painfully quickly and before I knew it, I was walking towards my truck where everyone was stood, clearly waiting for me. Emmett smiled widely when he saw me, throwing his arm around me like he had known me for years.

"Right Belly, this is our plan of action. I'm going with Rosalie, Alice and Jasper are going to follow us and you are going with Edward." I frowned at the later part.

"I can't. What about my truck?" I gestured toward the huge orange monstrosity that I loved so dearly.

"Already sorted. Me and Edward will pick you up in the morning." Emmett looked pleased with this and I couldn't fault it, leaving me with no excuse to use. I huffed gently before smiling at them, feeling rude. It wasn't Emmett fault that his brother wasn't speaking to me.

"Thanks guys."

"No problemo babes." Emmett said as he put his hand in my hair and messed it up. We split up, going to our separate cars with our assigned partners. Edward slipped silently into the driver's side of the Volvo, a deep frown set on his face. I follow, biting my lip as I slam the door shut and buckle in my seatbelt. He set off, the beginning of the drive was filled with awkward silence. Finally I snapped.

"Do you have a problem with me?" I asked forcefully, turning to face him full on. His eyes stayed focused on the road as he ran his hand through his hair, making it stand on end.

"No, of course I don't Bella." He almost sounded truthful.

"So why won't you speak to me?" He was silent for a while, his face serious with thought.

"As soon as I can, I am going to move back home. I can't make any attachments Bella. It would be too hard to leave if I do." What he was saying made sense, yet it seemed so silly.

"So you're going to isolate yourself until you move. Don't be stupid Edwar..." I trailed off, realising that I did the exact same when I lived with my mom.

"I'm sorry," I whispered, clenching my hands together. He nodded, before turning toward me with a slight smile on his face. He stopped the car, causing me to look around at my surrounding before my mouth hit the floor.


Fancy dropping me a review?
