After Many Wrongs, One Right

Chapter 4

EPOV

I was in the line for the cafeteria. I've been in the line for about five minutes, and I was standing in the same spot. I was starving and bored and I had nothing to do, just stand there, so I began singing one of my favorite songs, I Won't Disagree.

Tyler and Eric, my school pals, say it's a girly song, but I just like it and I like to sing it.

Ignorance is bliss
You'd always hear me say
But at times you can't deny
Those eyes looking your way

I began whispering the first part.

Let me begin by saying what I mean
It's a crime against the heart you know
To be somewhere in between

Well don't be shy
I've got an open heart and hand
And I just might have to confess just where I stand

I curled my hands, imagining I had a microphone in them and began singing the chorus.

Lately you make me weaker in the knees
And race through my veins baby every time you're close to me
Take me away to places I ain't seen
They say you've got a hold on me:
And I won't disagree

I was beginning to enjoy myself, apparently not whispering anymore, when I heard someone giggling from behind me and I somehow knew he or she was laughing at me.

"Were you laughing at me?" I asked as I turned around.

Oh, so it's a she, I thought when I saw the girl who'd giggled. She had an ivory skin, with mahogany hair pulled up in a pony tail. Her chocolate brown eyes were staring at me wide open and her cheeks flushed deep red.

I raised an eyebrow at her, waiting for an answer.

"Uh…n-no," she stuttered, moving frenetically her head to the sides.

I scowled, knowing she wasn't telling the truth. Apparently she was a rotten liar.

"Mhm, well, whatever," I answered. I didn't want to argue.

"Next, please!" the cafeteria lady called.

I turned around to see she was talking to me.

"Oh, yeah. Um… Cesar salad, please."

I paid and she gave me my salad. As I walked away to my table I could feel someone staring at me.

I discretely turned around to find the girl who'd giggled peeking through her lashes.

I met her gaze and the same scarlet red that had come to her cheeks a few minutes ago, returned to them.

I chuckled quietly.

"Hey, Eddie!" I turned around to find Jessica Stanley standing just a few inches away from me.

"It's Edward," I said irritated, "hi."

"Oh, but Eddie sounds cutter!" she squealed, "But, anyways, who is that girl?" She asked nodding toward the girl who'd giggled.

"I dunno." I shrugged.

"Yeah, sure… she was totally flirting!" she exclaimed.

What the hell is wrong with this girl?! I thought as I looked at her with a mixture of surprise, annoyance, and a you-are-totally-crazy look. But instead of saying what was on my mind, I simply rolled my eyes and replied, "If you say so…"

I'd learned many years ago, that when it came to Jessica Stanley, it was better not to disagree with her, or she would give you a hard time until you 'agreed'.

"Yup, I do, but… oh! I've got to go. I'll see you later, Eddie!" she said and then she reached up to kiss my cheek.

I flinched at her touch and at soon as she was out of sight, I poured some water into a napkin and cleaned the spot she'd kissed.

I headed to the table where Tyler and Eric were discussing something about video games, and sat down. I was about to start eating when the "giggling girl" caught my eye. She wasn't looking at me this time, and she was laughing about something one of her friend had said.

I stared at her. She was kind of pretty. Well, actually she was beautiful and she looked even better when she laughed.

She turned around and caught me staring at her. Our eyes met again but this time it was different, it felt different.

A/N: OMG!! I'm sorry I took so long to update, but I had a hard time getting some inspiration, and yes, I know this chapter's short but that's also inspiration's fault, he he.

Anyways, I'll try to update sooner and…

Review, review, review!!
