Chapter 4 – Look After You (Auron/Ron)
I glanced over, the beautiful brown haired girl glared back. Her eyes piercing warmly, an odd topaz color. It dazzled me, I let my hair fall into place covering my eye. I looked down, at the food.
Unappetizing to me.
The one called Stephanie keeps talking. Non-stop. Will she ever shut up?
I shifted, and leaned on my elbows. "Rueben, who is that brown haired girl?" I asked, trying to be inconspicuous.
"Why, that's Bella. Bella Cullen." He replied, he sneered at the name Cullen.
"Who is she sitting with? Her family?" Rueben nodded, fast.
"Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, Edward and Bella—" he paused to think it over. "—they're all together you know. A family, all of them are adopted. Alice's with Jasper, Emmett with Rosalie, Edward with the one you fancy, Bella."
He chuckled.
My heart felt like it died once again. Sinking, drowning, tormented. Lost of hope.
I shrugged. "Whatever."
I was going to talk to her today, maybe get to know her well. Make a friend.
But to be truthful, I was a bit afraid of her boyfriend. Edward. Scary looking guy, all the girls seem to admire him though. Tough, mysterious, protective, handsome.
I laughed bitterly to myself.
If I ever dated anyone here, I would only give them half of what Cullen could offer. I could only offer to be mysterious and protective. Nothing more.
The bell rang, I got up swiftly. Walking to my locker, it swung open with no problem. I gathered my books and notes. I closed the locker door, swinging it shut. Clank.
There stood, heavenly postured, Bella Cullen. Her smile welcomed me warmly.
"Hey there. Ron correct?" she smiled again. Her topaz eyes gleaming.
I blushed. I could tell, the heat ran to my face. I tried hard to remain expressionless. Giving her a weak smile.
"Yeah. You're Bella –right?" I asked. Swinging my bag over one shoulder. I looked deep into her eyes. They were liquid like. Swirling in circles. Topaz.
Mesmerizing me.
I could do nothing but give her a dazed stare. She giggled. The damn bell rang before anything was said.
"I'll see you around Ron. I've got to run!" Her voice rang in my head. I nodded.
"—till next time, Bella." I whispered. I could swear she rolled her eyes.
I walked slowly, gently to my next class. I drew, a face, it was circular, an angel's face.
A fast sketch, etched with detail. I took another—closer look, I realized in shock, I had drawn a face of a true Angel. An Angel that goes by Bella. Bella Cullen.
I quickly slipped it into my notebook. Afraid anyone would find it.
My heard rate quickened. My sister, she glanced at me. Mouthing the words, You alright?
I nodded. Taking a large breath. I'm going crazy.
