NOTES OF POWER
BPOV
I went up to the teacher and handed him the slip like I had been doing in every class today.
......oh the monotony.....
He directed me toward the only empty seat in the room without any fuss. I could tell we were going to get along just fine.
I sat down next to Edward in as graceful a fashion as I could manage
.....thank god for those dance lessons!.....
He turned his body in my direction and gave me a crooked smile, and oh did that have some effect on my heart rate. If I didn't know any better I could have sworn he heard it as his smile became more pronounced to reveal a set of glittering white teeth, he let out a chuckle as well.
......even his teeth were perfect......
He continued to stare at me and let out another chuckle for no reason, well that I could find anyway. After a while his face got a frustrated look about it
.......why are you frustrated, do I not look the right way for you or something?......
EPOV
.....she is so beautiful.....
I know it must have creeped her out, my constant staring had to be having some effect on her, well other then the increase of her heart rate. I let out another laugh just remembering the sound. I listened for anything else that could indicate what she thought of me. I couldn't hear anything, which in itself was odd.
....absolutely nothing......
Not even a single thought could be heard coming from this one little girl. I tried to listen harder but all I could sense was a space where I knew Bella was sitting.
......I can't hear her thoughts!.....
The one persons mind that I have ever sought to look into is closed to me! I thought back through the day.
......maybe I was able to hear it earlier but she just isn't thinking anything now.....
I knew how absurd that sounded but I was pulling on strings here! My family relied on my gift to indicate whether anyone was suspicious of what we really were. If one person was immune then that could mean that others might be, that would not be good. I thought back on all the times I had been near Bella today. Not once did I remember hearing the timber of her voice resonate through my head.
.....I didn't hear her when I was in the music room!.....
I should have realised then that I couldn't hear her. It had been completely obvious, I recall thinking that she had been an "airhead" in my ignorance. I shook my head to rid myself of these thoughts. There was no point stressing myself over it now, though she did present a conundrum.
.....I am just going to have to get to know her, then I will see if she is any threat to us or our life here......
.......Yeah, keep telling yourself that Edward.....
I turned back to Bella and saw her doodling on her notebook, I needed to get her attention.
"What are you drawing?"
She turned to me with an expression that clearly showed she was surprised that I was speaking to her.
"Em....I'm not drawing anything. It's a song......nothing special....."
I was shocked, this girl kept surprising me. Silent thoughts, mesmerising voice, eyes that could hold my attention for eternity and has the ability to write songs. This girl was building in perfection, each new bit of information I learned about her fed my curiosity to know more.
"May I see it?"
"Well.....it's not any good"
She handed me the page, she didn't look to happy to be parting with it and I felt some resistance when I tried to take it from her hand.
Don't know much about your life,
Don't know much about your world but,
Don't wanna be alone tonight,
On this planet they call earth.
You don't know about my past, and
I don't have a future figured out,
And maybe this is going to fast,
And maybe it's not meant to last.
Who was she writing this about? I had a sudden urge to throw something at any male that came within two feet of Bella.
......I swear I will bite them!......
My jaw snapped shut as if to agree with my thoughts. I realised that Bella was still waiting for my opinion on her song. I looked at her and noticed that she was wringing her hands with an anxious look on her face, and shooting glances at me every few seconds.
"This is really good. Do you mind if I ask who it's about?"
She blushed at this and my hand clenched around the side of the desk until I could feel it crumbling under the pressure.
......Lucky asshole.....
"Eh....no-one you'd know."
BPOV
How could I tell him the song was about him! I honestly had no idea what I had really written until he pointed out that I was infact writing. I handed the page over hoping against hope that he wouldn't figure out the inspiration behind it. When he handed it back he seemed slightly tense.
.......Oh no he guessed that it was about him! He won't ever want to talk to me again!......
He asked who it was about and I said something that would hopefully made him think about anyone other then himself. To my delight he continued asking me questions,
about my hometown in Phoenix, my mom, my hobbies, my dad, everything seemed to come up. Well everything other then "Barbie" and my past boyfriends ( Yeah, all two of them! My kindergarden romance and Mr. "It's not you, it's me!" )
We eventually go to talking about cars when the bell rang. I hadn't heard any of what Mr. Banner had said.
"Would you mind if I walked you to your next class?"
I attempted to be as cool as possible while I was doing a mental happy dance!
"Yeah....if you want"
.......smooth Bella........
He gave me one of his crooked smiles. ( This meant I had to check and see if my leg would support me before I stood! )
"I'd love to."
Happy with my level of stability, I rose to find my bag already in Edward's beautiful hands.
"How chivalrous of you...."
He just smiled again and started the conversation where we had left off.
"So you said that you had a Chevrolet Comaro GT Concept, I'm sorry but what is a girl like you doing with a car like that?"
I always got this reaction, no-one seemed to believe that a petite girl of barely 5"4' would drive a car like the Concept. It was my baby though.
"Well.....my mom got it for me after she won some money on these scratch cards that she had been doing for a while." (I had explained how my mom went in and out of things a lot so he knew what I meant.) "She said I deserved something big after all the years I had taken care of her."
I was getting ready to reveal a bit of information that I had never told anyone before. I don't know why I wanted to tell Edward. Maybe because I felt safe around him or maybe it was just so I could have some hold over him that others didn't have.......a secret between just him and I.
"It'sthebumblebbeecar!"
I blurted it out and went bright red after my confession.
.......you are going to have to repeat that, he doesn't have super hearing!....
I was preparing to say it again when he said....
"As in the one from transformers! That's why you got the car?!"
......how did he understand that?.......
He had a huge smile on his face and his eyes seemed to dance with mirth. It was infectious. I found myself smiling too.
"Yeah...he was my favourite and I always said to myself that if I ever got the money that's the car I would buy and.......I got the money...."
I put my head down again in embarrassment. The next thing I know we have stopped walking and a cold finger is tilting my head up.
"You are seriously becoming one of my favourite people."
I smiled a face splitting grin that hurt my cheeks. I looked around and my smile faltered, we were already at the gym doors.
"This Sunday would you like me to drive you to collect your car? We can make a day of it and you'll have someone to show you around who knows the area well.......Alice can come as well. I need to see you driving this thing before I believe you have it."
I was almost disappointed (try completely disappointed) when he said Alice could come but it would be nice to get to know her as well. I had made a point to be friends with her after all.
"Yeah that would be great thanks, I may even let you drive it!"
.......Hold the phone! What did I just say! I don't let anyone drive my baby!.....
........I said MAY I didn't actually say I would let him drive it.........will I let him have a go?......
We parted ways and I went into gym with a wave over my shoulder to Edward who was standing at the door with the most blinding smile on his face.
.....He has to be a good driver, he is good at everything else......
* * * *
I was in my room and everything that needed to be done had been accomplished. Shopping, homework, e-mail to mom, laundry and dinner. I was in my room trying to write the rest of the song I had started in Biology. I was having some trouble with it, it seems I write my best work when Edward was present.
........go figure, I can't think coherently but am able to write my best work......I don't want to know what that says about me.....
The thought of Edward brought me back to the offer I had made him.
.........do I really trust him enough with something that means so much to me?.....
I got sudden inspiration for my song and had to laugh at the turn it had taken.
But what do you say,
To taking chances,
What do you say,
To jumping off the edge,
Never knowing,
If there solid ground below,
Or hand to hold,
Or hell to pay,
What do you say?
AN: Well there you go. (If any of you can pick out the quote from "Shrek" you get brownie points!) I was hoping to make it a little bit longer but if I had started with what's next then it would have been to long. The next will be up soon though so don't worry. If any of you have a song that you would like featured in this that was from Glee please put it in a review and I will try to make it happen.
Thanks everyone for reading! Please review!
