Being dragged around first thing in the morning--- scratch that --- second period, was not on my top priorities list. My top priorities are as follows:
1. Car- great for traveling and missing a ride with Mike
2. Going to the mall- I'm freezing!
3. High fiving a basketball star- it would be so cool!
4. Learning how to play an instrument- it's not geeky if you're good
5. A boyfriend... or any kind of friend who won't annoy me
6. Getting away from Edward!!!
Why is my arm so cold? It feels like it is about to fall off. HAH! I know!
"Edward? What do you do to get ready in the morning?" I posed the question so easily, but Edward seemed to stare at my face for a couple seconds to see if I was trying to pull something on him. Then- weird- he looked confused and spoke slowly.
"Nothing really... Why?"
"I just thought that you would take ice cube baths and stick your head in the freezer because it feels as though my FREAKIN' ARM is about to FALL OFF!" I enunciated really loud so he would get the picture. He did because he quickly dropped my arm. Unfortunately, the look on his face made me feel kinda bad. I tried to make myself feel better by telling myself that he hated sitting next to me and that he deserved it. But I didn't experience any better-ness. "I'm a little sorry, but you were the one to switch lab partners and made me feel worse on my first day of school."
"Bella, I didn't mean to make you feel bad, but I couldn't stand you."
"Is that supposed to be an apology? It's not really working. Plus you just insulted me in your request for forgiveness! Let me just tell you that I'll never speak to you again... EXCEPT in science class IF we're still partners. Now, excuse me, I'm going to stomp away in anger!" I snorted as I truly did stomp away to the left.
Feeling a presence behind me I stopped suddenly.
"Omph!"
"I said leave me alone, you creeper!"
"Sorry, sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going!" It was a hot guy, not Edward. Actually to be exact, the guy was the person whose toe I stepped on in class. Great! First, I stepped on his toe, now I call him a creeper. Great! Just great!
"I should be the one apologizing. I called you a creeper, and earlier I stepped on your toe."
"OH! It's okay considering you're a red- head. Quick temper, right?"
"I DO NOT... have a quick temper. I was just trying to get away from someone who's bothering me. And I was harsh on him. But I don't care!!!!" Take that! "By the way, my name is Bella Swan."
"My name is... uh... Epifanio." seeing my face, blown up and red, trying not to laugh, he said, "I know that my name is strange, so call me Nio... you can stop laughing now."
"HeHeHe. S-sorry, Nio. Hey! Where were you going just now?" I want to keep talking but I'll probably be late to class as it is.
"I was heading to the band room to see if they needed a music prodigy. Want to join me?" He looks earnest about me coming and the music prodigy part. But I can't play an instrument. It is one of my top priorities though.
RIIIIING!!
"Crap! I have to go to my next class. I think second period is History? Do you know where that is?" I can't be late on my second day of school! Everyone will start calling me Bella Tardy Chick. NOOOOOoooo! That is the last thing I want.
"Hello? Bella, are you in there? I think it is actually third period. We talked through second."
"What?" It hit me like a bullet hitting an explosive-carrying truck. We were sitting in the grass talking for an entire period. I don't remember even sitting down. I was too absorbed in the conversation. I've never skipped class before. "This can't be happening! I have to go, Nio. Bye---!... Ouch, it's only a bruise!"
I can't believe I fell down.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Ni-," I look up, "Edward?!"
I think this chapter moved a little fast. Plus I added a new character. Nio wasn't in my plans but I thought I would add a friend for this Bella. Should I change the i to an e in his name? I haven't written in a while and I don't really have a plan for this Fic but I'll just keep typing. Hoped you like it and review!!!!
