Chapter 4-Changing
Bella's Perspective
I really wonder what I did to him in my previous life which made him love to irritate me. From the start of school until now lunch break, he had been following me and making sarcastic remarks about me, such as how my hair look like many ropes strung together. I yelled at him whenever he made a sarcastic remark, attracting many people's attention, but he did not care at all! Yelling at him does not work at all! I have to find some other way to stop all his nonsense before they drove me insane. One of us definitely has to leave Forks first and it is either me or him.
I glared across the room at him. He seems to sense my glare and look up from his book that he is reading. He gave me an evil smile which is a sign that he is up to no good. I better be on alert in Biology class later before he does anything funny to me. Why must I pair with a guy like him? Why can't I pair with Mike Newton instead? Mike maybe irritating at times but at least, he is ninety times better than Edward Cullen in personality.
"Hey Bella. Why are you looking murderous? You look as if you are going to kill somebody." Jessica asked as soon as she put her lunch tray down on the table beside me.
"I am going to kill somebody."I murmured. Jessica followed my glare across the room and realised that I am glaring at Edward who was still giving me the evil smile.
"Oh, I get it. What did he do while I was getting my lunch?" Jessica asked.
"Nothing. I cannot stand sitting in the same room as him any longer. I will see you in class." I said heavily to Jessica. I grabbed my soda and left the room…
Edward's Perspective
I saw Bella grabbed her soda and left the room. I guessed that I have gone overboard. With a loud sigh, I got up and followed her.
"Edward, don't irritate her anymore. If you do, she will not hesitate to 'murder' you." Alice thought. I gave her a nod before running after Bella at a human pace. I found Bella in the library through her thoughts. I sat opposite her and took a deep breath. Bella sensed my presence and she got up immediately and tried to make an escape but I grabbed her wrist. Hopefully, I am not hurting her. I know that Bella has a high tolerance level.
"I owe you an apology for irritating you. I know that you are angry with me. I am sincerely sorry for irritating or even hurting you. Please accept it." I mumbled. I am a vampire but I do lose my courage at times. My apology sounds like gibberish but I knew that she understood what I said, because of her thoughts and she glared at me in reply.
"Sorry…" I said again, staring at her sincerely, hoping that my apology will soften her heart towards me.
"Apology not accepted. Now, if you will excuse me, I have got other things to do." She dumped me this sentence before she threw my hands aside. I should have known that Bella will not forgive me easily. Throughout the whole conversation, I had been praying hard that she would accept my apologies and at the same time, not notice how freezing cold my hand is. I seriously think she did not notice how cold my hand was (she did not even think about it), but once again, Bella can be unpredictable at times. Sigh. I followed her out of the library.
"I will make sure you will accept my apology someday. If I did not manage to do so, I will sentence myself into exile! However, even if you accepted my apology, there will be no need for you to sentence yourself into exile." I shouted after Bella. I heard from her thoughts that only one of us can exist in Forks, maybe this will be the fated outcome. Who knows? I do not want to know the outcome because I do not know what I am doing or going to do either. Life had become extremely complicated for me. What happened to my simple yet boring life?
"Edward Cullen, how was your conversation with Bella?" Alice thoughts finally broke mine. I turned towards the direction of her thoughts. The corridor was empty except for Alice and I.
"I tried looking into both your future, but they kept changing. Therefore, I gave up before I get a migraine." Alice grumbled.
"Bella's future is changing? This is weird. I never heard you complain of a human's future changing?" I questioned Alice.
"Her future is changing at an unusual speed. Can you sense her thoughts? If you can, what is she thinking?" Alice wondered. I searched for Bella's thoughts and focused on them.
"Yes, I can hear Bella's thoughts but she is only thinking of words and actions to annoy me." I replied feeling amused.
"Really? This is extremely weird. Oh well, we just have to observe the future." Alice grumbled.
"Looks like this is the only way. I will keep an eye on her just in case." I replied. Now, it seems that I am turning into Bella's protector. I am not sure how she will react towards me following her. However, even if she disliked it, I will continue because I still owe her an apology…
