Chapter 4: Meeting Bella, part two
EPOV
I left history, with my head still in the clouds, and was on my way to my locker before biology when I saw Isabella for myself. Wow, Alice was wrong; she was not just pretty she's beautiful. Isabella was one of those rare people who you could see was truly beautiful, with her soft brown hair that fell in waves past her shoulders and her pale creamy skin I couldn't help but stare at her. And it was due to my staring that I saw her suddenly go crashing to the ground, I hurried over to help her up and saw from the corner of my eye one of the slutty girls that wouldn't leave me alone, Lauren and her friend Jessica. They had tripped Isabella on purpose and were now openly laughing about it! How could they treat someone that what? What had she ever done to them? I had a strange urge to protect Isabella, to take her away from the cruel girls and keep her safe from harm. Hmm... Well this was new... I did not have time to ponder over it though for Isabella was still on the floor. I gathered her books and papers together before holding out my hand and introducing myself. As I did so I couldn't help but listen to her thoughts:
Oh good lord his voice was heavenly... wait what? What is going on with me today? He was still waiting for a response. But I couldn't give him one. Just like the beautiful Alice, I wanted to; I wanted to get to know him, to talk to him. But I couldn't. There was no way I could let this handsome stranger into my train wreck of a life.
I frowned when I heard what she was thinking. What did she mean 'her train wreck of a life'? My musings from earlier echoed in my thoughts: What reason would she have to want to isolate herself from the world? I was pleased that she wanted to get to know me, but I couldn't understand why she wouldn't let her self. This girl confused me; she didn't have the reactions I had come to expect from humans and it made me curious to know more about her. But it was more than that, I still had this strange urge to protect her, but it wasn't just from the people here at school; it was more than that... as though there was something more dangerous to protect her from.
Isabella took her books from me and hurried away, presumably to her next class. I got my textbook from my locker, and left for biology; my thoughts still on Isabella Swan and the strange feelings I had towards her.
I entered the biology classroom, and gave my slip to the teacher, Mr. Banner to sign. He told me to take the only open seat in the classroom, unbelievably, next to Isabella Swan. Luck was apparently on my side as the beautiful Isabella Swan was not only in my class; she was now my lab partner for the year. As I sat down I tried to make polite conversation: 'Hello again, it's Isabella right?' I had a feeling that she wouldn't answer, and was proved right as I listened to her thoughts:
Hey, yes but its Bella actually. That's what I would have said. That's what I wanted to say, and I did, in my mind. But I didn't dare open my mouth. If Charlie found out I'd been speaking... I shuddered at the thought of what could happen. I expected Edward to do what everyone else did when I wouldn't talk to them; insult me and then ignore me.
Charlie... that must be Charlie Swan, the chief of Police in Forks, but what did she mean by not speaking because of him? Did he not like her speaking to men? No that can't have been it because she did not speak to Alice either... did he not like her speaking to new people? Or just people in general? Hmm... well I would think over it later, but for now I felt like I should continue to talk to this 'Bella.' She seemed lonely. So that's what I did, for the rest of the lesson I talked quietly to her, listening to her responses in her thoughts, but careful to act as though I was assuming what her answers were, and I felt her slowly relax to my presence, enough that she even opened her mouth to speak, before the bell rang and she hurried out of the room; presumably to her next class. The phrase 'saved by the bell' had never been more apt.
So that's the first part from Edward's POV, what did you all think? Review and let me know! Also, I'm loving that you guys like the story and have me on your favorites list and everything but I'd quite like a few more reviews please? I got two for the last part of this chapter, and thats great, but Id like to get at least 3 for this one if possible? Thanks! And don't forget to rate! xD
