Thanks for all your reviews, they really mean a lot. The next chapter will be Rosalie's POV as some of you have requested it. Thanks again :D
After walking away from Rosalie, who I had just realised I had flirted with which was probably not the best plan I had, I dragged Hannah away from Lauren, who she was shouting abuse at. She was always so protective of me, ever since we met and especially after what happened with...nope not even going to go there, don't need to think about that right now.
Everyone got changed and I stepped out of the locker room and bumped straight into a wall...or a door...wait no it was Rosalie. Wow she is solid.
"I'm so sorry; I swear I'm not normally this clumsy." What a day, and I have already embarrassed myself twice in front of this Goddess.
"It's no trouble at all." She smiled and I just gawped at her like a freak. I felt Hannah slide her hand into mine and squeeze it tightly.
"Are you okay?" She said quietly. I snapped out of my trance and looked to her.
"Yeah, of course, why wouldn't I be?" I said defensively. Before I could allow her to answer I looked towards Rosalie again, "You want to get going?" She nodded and turned and started walking.
Ah that's cute, she don't know the way.
"Hey!" I grabbed her arm. Tingles once again shooting through my fingers and arm, "It's this way." I motioned down the opposite corridor. She nodded and smiled, embarrassed.
Ah she is adorable.
Will you stop it seriously, feel that hand entwined with yours?
I squeezed Hannah's hand.
Yeah see that is your girlfriend, who you love.
Right
I turned to Hannah and handed her the keys to my car. I looked sternly at her "Be careful." She nodded quickly, kissed my lips and ran off.
Oh that's nice
I turned back to Rosalie who was glaring after Hannah. Seriously what has she done? Rosalie turned back to me and quickly hid her annoyance with a smile, but it didn't quite reach her eyes.
We began to walk in a comfortable silence. Once inside the classroom we sat at separate desks, teacher's orders.
"Okay you two, do whatever work you have outstanding. You know the drill, Bella. I will be in the classroom just across the hall, so no funny business." He looked straight me when he said the last part. I put my hands up in mock surrender.
Okay when I said all teachers loved me, that excludes the gym teacher and Mr Hurley who has the most exciting job of all; to sit and watch over the people with detention.
Mr Hurley left the room, oh but not without turning and giving me a quick glare. Ass!
I sighed and leaned back in my chair to lean my head on the back wall. I closed my eyes which is my normal routine in detention. Have a quick nap.
"Thought you wanted to get to know your saviour?" I jumped at the sound of her angelic voice and opened my eyes to see her smirking at me. "Or if you would rather sleep then that's fine too."
"No, no I do want to get to know you. I can sleep through my next detention." I smiled at her and sat up.
"Are you a regular visitor to this room then?" She asked.
"I'm not regular; it's mostly when I am near Lauren." I said her name in digust and clenched my fists.
"And here I was under the impression that you got detention on purpose because of your secret love for Mr Hurley." I laughed and she joined in soon after. It was literally like music to my ears. I could listen to her all day.
"Well there's that too of course."
"Why do you and Lauren hate each other so much? You were both glaring at each well before the ball incident. If you don't mind me asking of course." She asked politely.
As polite as she is and as hard as it was to say no to her, I really didn't want to go through telling her.
Wait. Did she just say she saw us glaring at each other all through the game? Does that mean she was watching me?
Focus. She was probably just looking to see if you were staring at her like a pervert again everytime she bent down to pick up a ball.
Yeah that makes more sense.
"We just have a bit of history that's all." She nodded her head as if to tell me to continue.
I sighed. "Long story short, we used to go out when we were younger, and things turned a bit sour, for me anyway." She looked at me sadly but sighed in defeat when she realised I wasn't going to expand on what I just said.
"Anyway, I thought it was me who was supposed to be getting to know you?" I raised my eyebrows and she nodded.
"Okay go ahead."
"So where did you grow up, or did you live in Alaska before you were adopted?" Lame question but I couldn't think of anything that wasn't to do with all of her adopted siblings having the same eyes, skin colour and inhuman beauty.
"I grew up in Rochester, New York with my mother, father, my twin brother Jasper, and two younger brothers. I was adopted by Carlisle and Esme and lived in Alaska for four years until Carlisle got an offer as a doctor here in Forks." She sighed.
I wonder what happened to her real family. Should I ask or is that too personal? However as if reading my mind she said, "They died in a fire in our home. Jasper and I are the only ones who made it out safely."
It's weird how she just came out and said it. Shouldn't she have been a bit more reluctant and upset?
"Oh I'm so sorry." I looked at her sadly.
"It's okay; it was a long time ago. My new family have made things a lot easier for me. I don't what I would do without them now." She smiled. I decided to change to a lighter topic.
"Tell me a bit about your siblings."
She took a deep breath and smiled. "Well the first person Carlisle and Esme adopted was Edward who grew up in Chicago, Illinois, he loves music, especially piano, he can be very stubborn and a bit over protective at times but he really cares for all of us. Then there was Tanya and Kate who were next and originally from Alaska. Tanya who Edward fell for pretty quickly, is very similar to Edward personality wise, she can take a while to warm up to people which is a bit like me I suppose. However she can be very playful and often gets up to mischief with Emmet. Kate is Tanya's older sister. She is very strong minded and is the most protective out of all of us of her family. . Emmet who is originally from Gatlinburg, Tennessee was the next to be adopted. He fell in love with Kate very soon after they met. He may be big and look scary but he is very affectionate. He loves to squish people in big bear hugs, video games and wrestling with his brothers. He and Tanya are the pranksters of the family. Alice was the next to be adopted where they found her in Biloxi, Mississippi. As I'm sure you have already noticed she is the most energetic, happy person of my family." She smiled at this and I nodded. "She is full of life and loves anything artistic, fashion, singing and parties. She is a very caring but can often be very stubborn; she has to always get her own way. Finally there was Jasper and me. Jasper fell for Alice the moment they met. He is a real gentlemen and once again very protective of all of us, Alice and I especially. He loves History, video games and wrestling with Emmet and Edward."
"How come Jasper has a Texan accent, I thought you said you were from New York?" I blurted out without thinking.
She looked as if she was a deer caught in headlights. Her mouth was opened in shock and her eyes wide. She quickly composed herself a few moments later and said, "Jasper went to boarding school in Texas so her picked it up from there and hasn't managed to get rid of it. Alice seems to like it though/ She calls him her 'southern gentleman'. He had gotten himself expelled from my school for one too many fights. He may seem like a calm person but he can lose his temper very quickly, especially if someone he cares about it being hurt." She looked very pleased with herself as if she had just thought of that answer on the spot.
"Have you got any siblings?" She asked.
"Yes...No...Well I mean I did have a sister." I looked down, not really wanting to talk about it.
"Did?" I looked up to find her questioning eyes burning into my own.
"Well, yes. She went missing when she was 12." I whispered. I dropped my head and squeezed by eyes shut to try to keep the tears at bay. I hadn't thought about her in a while.
"Bella, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have asked." I looked up to see her looking at me sadly.
"It's okay; I asked you, it's only fair." I tried to smile but with the tears in my eyes threatening to spill over it was pointless. She got up out of her seat and pulled the chair out next to me so she could sit. As soon as she put her arm around my shoulder, the tears spilt over the edge. I rested my head on her chest and tried to breathe normally so I could calm down.
She smelt amazing, like chocolate. She felt hard as rock to hug but it wasn't uncomfortable, I wanted to stay in her arms forever. Whoa! My tears disappeared pretty quickly after that thought and I leaned away slightly wiping my eyes being careful not to smudge my mascara. She looked at me sadly but I gave her a smile which this time I was able to pull off.
"Sorry about that, I just haven't talked about her in a while."
She shook her head and looked sternly at me. "You need to stop apologising so much, it's okay to cry."
"I know but I hardly know you and I've just started crying on your shoulder." I laughed nervously. God this is embarrassing. I could already feel by face turning red. One of my worst traits is blushing
"Hey," She soothed, "It's okay. Look why don't we ask some lighter questions, less personal?" She dazzled me with another smile and I nodded.
"Okay Rosalie, what do you like doing in you free time?"
"Call me Rose, please. Rosalie makes me feel old?" She laughed her musical laugh which I chose to just listen to instead of joining her and offered her a smile and nodded.
"I love music, my specialty being the piano. I could sit and play it all day and never get bored. I also love cars..."
"Really?" I asked in shock.
She smiled and nodded, "Yes, why is that so shocking?"
"I...I just didn't picture you as the type of person to be into cars is all." She laughed and raised her eyebrows.
"Why? Just because I'm blonde and girly I can't like something other than shopping?" She mock glared at me.
Whoops. "No, I didn't mean it like that I...I just meant that..."
"Relax Bella, I was joking. People often make that judgement of me. But yes, I love cars. I can take an engine apart and rebuild within a few hours." Wow. She is like a guys dream girl. In fact she is anyone's dream girl.
She laughed and I realised I was staring at her with my mouth opening and closing like a fish. I quickly closed it and smiled at her in awe.
"Wow, that's amazing. So I'm guessing one of them two flashy cars in the lot belongs to you?" I questioned.
She nodded, "Yes, can you guess which one though?"
Well I can't see her driving the boring Volvo.
"The Convertible, definitely." Her smile widened.
"How did you know?"
"I just can't see you driving something so simple, especially a boring silver car too. Something bright seems more you style."
"Who do you think drives the Volvo?" She raised her eyebrows.
Okay well it's definitely not Alice; she would have something a lot more perky and colourful.
I don't really know any of the other's personalities but Edward or Jasper seems the likely choice.
"I would say Edward or Jasper...okay I guess Edward."
"Yep you're absolutely right. You're good."
"I try." I smiled and she giggled. She opened her mouth to reply when Mr Hurley walked in and gave me a stern look.
What? Seriously I wasn't the only one talking.
I looked at the clock and noticed we had been here an hour already.
"You two may leave now, though I do hope you used your time productively Miss Swan? Mr Hurley stated. "Miss Hale I do hope she wasn't too distacting, she tends to lead a lot of students astray."
Why is it always me eh? Was I the only one speaking? Erm...let me think...no! Asshole!
I opened my mouth to tell him exactly just this when I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Sir, it wasn't just Bella, I was talking too so I suggest you stop blaming everything on her." Rosalie scolded. She actually sounded quite intimidating. I looked up to see her eye's completely black. Correction she looks intimidating.
Wait, her eyes aren't usually black, they're not evenly remotely dark, their golden. i think I would remember seeing as I can't stop thinking about them. So her eye's just randomly change colour when she is angry. Well that's normal...
Mr Hurley looked quite surprised that she had spoken to him like that, I imagined he would do what any teacher would do that had talked to them like that and punish them but he didn't. He looked afraid.
"Of course Miss Hale, how very rude of me, Bella I do apologise." He looked to me, silently begging me to accept so he wouldn't have to be glared at by Rose any more.
I should make him suffer. But even I am afraid, not of Rose, but of what she may do to him if we don't leave soon.
"No problem sir, just make sure it doesn't happen again." I put my hand on the small of Rose's back and felt her relax under my touch. I guided her out of the classroom and smirked at Mr Hurley on the way.
That felt good. I'm going to pay for it next time I'm on my own in here though.
When I looked up to Rose's face as we walked out the school to the parking lot I noticed her eyes were now a dark golden colour. I looked straight ahead to realise I gave Hannah the keys to my car.
Great idea, now you're going to have to walk.
As if my day could get any worse, it started to rain. Typical!
"Thanks Rose, for sticking up for me in there...and the whole Lauren thing." I looked to her and smiled. She returned the smile, nodded and headed to her car.
I started to make my way out of the lot as the rain started to get even heavier.
"Hey Bella, you need a ride?" I almost didn't hear her over the rain. I turned to see her holding the passenger door open. I nodded and ran over, mumbled a quick thanks and got it.
After I gave her directions to my house we sat in a comfortable silence.
Why is it so comfortable with her, I normally hate meeting new people and have awkward conversations with them for at least a few weeks?
"Just over there on the left." I said. She pulled over in front of my house.
"Is that your car?" She pointed to the convertible in my drive.
"Yeah, you like?" I smirked and raised my eyebrows.
She looked shocked and grinned. "It's awesome, why didn't you say you are into cars too?"
"Well I'm not really, I mean I like cars and can name the make and model of any one I see but I can't take them apart and fix them like you can."
"Yeah, but still... how can you even afford a car like that?"
We are definitely not going into that.
"I had nice grandparents." I smiled and she raised her eyebrows.
"Nice? Nice? Nice grandparents knit their grandchildren ugly sweaters and buy them boiled sweets, not buy them a car that is around $300,000!" She whisper shouted.
"...I guess I was their favourite." I gave her a big grin but she still wasn't buying it. I sighed, "Okay they were very wealthy people, my grandfather owned his own car company and before he passed away he told Charlie to give me that on my 16th birthday." I pointed to my baby.
She nodded, still looking like she couldn't believe I had such a nice car. Then she looked confused. "Charlie?" Oh damn it.
"Yeah he's...he's...my father." I spat out the last part. Before she could question any futher I opened the passenger door.
"I have to go, thanks for the ride Rose." I heard her mumble a quick 'No problem' and I shut the door. She sped off down the road and I waved after her looking like an drenched rat in the rain.
Idiot.
Please Review :D
