She talked me into staying the night again and I agreed. I didn't really like staying at home by myself. At least with Alice she keeps me company and is always talking about something. For the rest of the night we crashed on her bed and watched movies. Somewhere during the movies I fell asleep.
-*-
It's serious
I've got to find you
When I start to feel this way
You mesmerize me
All the time
And I hold on till tonight
But that's too long
Cuz you're an angel
You're an angel
My crazy angel
So serious
I've got to take you
Home again tonight
Cuz right now you paralyze me
With your smile
As your wings discard the feathers on the ground
I see a halo up, up above you

I couldn't help but to be nervous. I just had to have the idea of wanting to become his friend. I wasn't regretting the choice, just the fact that I had to be the on to ask him.
Today I was going to ask Edward Cullen if he wanted to sit with us at lunch. I didn't know if he was going to accept the offer, but I hope he does.
I wasn't particularly aware of what Edward did at lunch time, but I know that he doesn't sit in the cafeteria with the rest of the students. He probably spends his lunch hour in his car or out somewhere smoking.
All in all, I was a nervous wreck.
Right now I was sitting in the confines of my car, hoping to spot Edward somewhere amidst the students at school.
Just like the last time I seen him before school, he was sitting on the grass against the wall having a smoke.
This was probably the only time I would see him before lunch time, so I took a deep breath and stepped out of my car.
When I reached him, I plopped myself down on the grass beside him. He didn't say anything. Okay I see how this is going to be.
"Hi Edward." I thought I could be the bigger person and start the conversation.
"Hi." He mumbled.
WE just sat there, not talking, listening to the loud chatter in the parking lot. I knew that if I wanted him to sit with us, I was going to have to ask.
"Edward?"
"Mhhmm." He slowly turned and looked at me. I just sat there and stared at the students. I didn't want to face him because then I would probably forget the whole point in asking.
"What do you do at lunch time?" I didn't want to be nosey, but this looked like a good opportunity to ask him.
"Why do you want to know?" He didn't say it harshly, he said it with curiosity.
"Just wondering." Now it was my turn to start mumbling.
He was quiet for a few moments, and then he spoke quietly.
"I sit here."
"What do you say about coming to sit with me and my friends at lunch?" I asked softly. I looked at him to gauge his reaction.
His eye brows were furrowed and he was now the one to look away. He sat there not speaking and continued to finish his smoke. I didn't want to get up and leave yet, so I just sat there. Hopefully he was going to answer me soon.
We just sat there for another ten minutes without uttering a word to each other. When the bell rang, I got up before him.
"That's okay. You don't have to sit with us. I just thought you would like to. I'll see you later." With that, I started walking to class. I wasn't mad at him. He was probably shy or just liked being alone at lunch time.
-*-
Since the day that I asked him to sit with us at lunch, I haven't asked him again. I didn't want him to turn it down again and then look like an idiot for asking. He seemed to like personal space.
Everyday seems to be the same routine. Edward would always be there in his seat when Biology came around. He wouldn't look up when I purposefully scrapped my chair against the floor. We wouldn't strike up a conversation with each other. The only time we would talk was when we had to work on a lab or an assignment together, and when I would ask him the same question everyday.
Ever since the day that he came here and I sit beside him, he always seemed to have a different flavor of bubble gum. He always smelled really good.
And everyday, much to his amusement, I would ask him for a piece of gum. Today his flavor of choice seemed to be strawberry.
I guess asking for a piece of gum everyday at the same time notified Edward
And before I even sat down, there was a single piece of gum, wrapped up in the stupid paper it comes with, on my side of the lab table.
I knew better then to try and start a conversation that would end before it even started, so I sat down, took my books out and popped the piece of gum into my mouth. And this was the routine for the past couple of weeks.
Since Mr. Banner was going on and on about mitosis and meiosis, I decided to look around the room and try to occupy my time.
I guess you could imagine the fucking shock factor that I received when I felt someone tapping my on my shoulder. I turned around ready to yell at whoever it was, but my voice got stuck in my throat.
Edward fucking Cullen was tapping me on my shoulder. The one and only that seemed to have made this silent rule between the two of us.
"Is that invitation still open?" He whispered. I knew what he was talking about but I was too shocked to answer right away. Ever since the day that he refused the offer, Alice has been on my ass asking me to ask him again.
After a few minutes, I finally got my composure. "Oh…um….yeah..."
"Good. I'll see you tomorrow then." Edward said with a raised eyebrow, as if daring me to object. Like that would ever happen. I couldn't say anything to him so I just nodded and turned my attention towards Mr. Banner.
All though my head was turned toward the front of the class room, my mind and eyes travelled to the boy that merely sat 2 feet away from me. He was a very mysterious and interesting creature and I decided that I wanted to crack the puzzle that he tried so hard to build.
-*-
The next day, I was really nervous. Edward was coming to sit with us at our table. I didn't want anyone going off and trying to scare him. *cough*Emmett*cough*. I really wanted him to fit in with our group.
I heard from Jasper, that Edward has History with him right before lunch. Since he was coming to sit with us, I would wait for him outside his class. Of course Jasper was in this class too, but I just wanted to give Edward a head warning about my friends.
I was leaning against the wall when I noticed that Jasper and Edward were walking out the door together. When they looked up to see me, I had a huge grin on my face. I liked that Jasper and Edward were talking. It looked like they were getting along. Hopefully the rest of the group will be that easy.
"Ready to go to lunch boys?" I walked over to stand between the both of them. They both nodded at the same time and we headed off to lunch together.
When we got in the cafeteria, I noticed right away that Emmett had a huge bag with a lot of strawberry gum inside and a video camera.
When we all sat down, I gave Emmett a weird look.
"Em? Why in the world do you have a huge bad of gum and a video camera?" I asked incredulously. Just thinking about strawberry gum reminded me of the way Edward smelled yesterday.
"Oh because yesterday I was looking on YouTube, and there was this video about blowing up gum really big to beat a world record. His bubble wasn't very big so I decided that I wanted to try and beat him." Everyone just sat there staring at him.
Emmett looked at all of our faces. "What? I was bored okay?"
"Okay now I need someone to hold this video camera and film me while I beat that idiot."
"Okay Em. Hand it over." I guess Jasper decided that he wanted to do the filming. The rest of us just sat there, staring at Emmett while he shoved tons of bubble gum in this mouth.
Half the bag later and a puddle of drool on the table, Emmett was ready to start blowing this bubble.
"Okay. I'm ready." It came out sounding all weird, but I managed to make out what he was saying. Jasper started recording when Emmett started chewing the gum.
About 10 minutes after chewing the gum, he started blowing the bubble. It was getting quite big.
"Um…Em…I don't think-" but I was cut off when it happened. Everyone ducked under the table to avoid the mess.
Just as the bubble popped from being blown up, Jessica and Lauren decided to walk by our table.
A second after we heard the loud POP sound, it was followed by an, "OH MY GOD."
When we thought it was safe to look, we got up from under the table, to see Jessica and Lauren, standing there both covered in strawberry bubble gum.
Everyone just sat there looking at each other, with shocked faces. Not a second later, everyone burst out laughing. Me, and Emmett fell out of our chairs from laughing so hard. I had tears running down my face because Jessica and Laurens faces were priceless.
After a couple of screeching noises from dumb and dumber, they ran out of the cafeteria.
"Well Em, at least you beat the guy from You Tube and got a prank out of it." Jasper said laughing.
We all looked to see that Jasper had left the camera on the table and that he got to whole scene on film.
"Hell Yeah! I'm going to post in on You Tube and get over a million views. It's going to be the best video on their site." Emmett boomed.
I noticed that there was still some gum left from Emmett's experiment, so I grabbed some and stuffed it into my bag. After I zipped up my bag, everyone was staring at me.
"What? I like strawberry gum." Of course I had to blush then. Edward took that time to look over at me. I noticed that he had a smirk on his face, probably knowing that I was thinking about the strawberry gum he had yesterday.
When the bell rang, Edward asked me if he could walk me to my class. Of course I said yes. I wouldn't deny him anything if he asked me. When we were walking through the halls, people kept staring at us. I didn't know what they were thinking. Some of the guys were glaring at Edward, while the girls were glaring at me. They probably think that we are a couple. I wish we were, but I wasn't about to go and tell him that. I looked down at the ground to avoid the glares of the students and also because I was blushing.
As we got to Biology, we walked to our seats and he even pulled out the stool for me. It was kind of shocking because he never really spoke to me before, and now he sat with me at lunch and is pulling out stools for me. I liked this side of him much better.
"Thanks." I told him.
"No problem."
Mr. Banner walked into the room at that moment and decided that we were going to watch a movie today. When he shut the lights off, there was this electricity that was in the air. I knew that Edward was the cause of it. I just wanted to reach out and touch him, but I knew I couldn't.
I had a feeling this was going to be a long class.

I am so sorry for not getting this out sooner. I had to beta read for niki fierce, but I hope that it doesn't take longer to update. For now, I'm going to work on my other story, Boy with the Glasses, but I will still be updating this story as well.
Please Review and tell me what you think.
