I've been favoring Edward too much. D: I gotta switch to Bella now.
You'll get more this way, trust me. :3
I don't own Twilight. D:
Enjoooyy!
Bella's POV
I hate school. I hate school. I hate school.
I sat on the couch early in the morning. Alone. My dad just left for work and my mom was job searching. So, I was on my own in the morning for the time being. Great.
I finished my bowl of cearal and walked into the kitchen to put it in the sink. I went to the door, grabbing my bag and locking the house on my way out. At least I didn't have to walk to school. My dad and mom used to ride bikes along time ago. My dads bike no longer worked but my mom's was still alive. Though, it would be better if it didn't work. It was old and dusty, rust and peeled off paint colored the metal. The seat was a bit ripped, but it was still soft and pushie with the remaining stuffing that wasn't coming out of the hole in the back. I sighed, I have a new Christmas wish.
Before I jumped on to the bike, I kicked the kick stand. It didn't budge so I kicked it again. After another five kicks it slammed into place and the bike shattered to the ground. My neighbor across the street getting her newspaper jumped and stared. I grinned and blushed. She scurried inside her house with the paper.
Note to self: Park bike next to wall.
I leaped on to the seat and peltled my way down the driveway and down the street to Hell.
It wasn't a long bike ride there, it was sort of pleasant. Being alone, with the wind in my face and rain sprinkling in my hair. It gave me time to think. About my few friends I had, About the work that was fairly easy, About that strange boy...
I grimaced to myself. I wanted to confront him about what he did, but I didn't want to stir up any trouble on my second day. Besides, looks can kill with what I experienced yesterday. Kill confidence, anyways. Not that I had any coming here.
I pulled into the bike stands. The bikes around me weren't very different from mine, the only nice one was a silver expensive one locked near the front gate. I locked mine in the back and walked into the school. Kids still stared at me like I was a gift from the heavens. Ew much?
I walked into my class. Good, Edward wasn't in his seat beside me. I hoped he didn't show. I pushed my chair back and rummaged through my bag. I pulled out a piece of paper. Now where did I put my...
"Hello." A musical voice said cheerfully.
I looked up to see Edward. His hair was wet and dripping like he just got out of the shower. The cold darkness from his eyes where now light with childish curiosity. My jaw dropped and I tried to studder out words but he stopped me again.
"Your Bella, right? Well, ya I guess so. The whole schools been talking about you. I'm Edward Cullen." He continued, smiling a dazzling bright smile. I thought I'd go blind, his teeth where bright.
I stared at him and managed to studdered out a few words. "How did you know my name?" Idiot. He just told me. Well, In my defense I thought my name was 'Stupid' to him. He frowned quickly and sat down. Great, I made a fool of myself.
Thankfully, the teacher started class. Unthankfully, we had to do a group assignment. And this time, we had to work with the partners beside us. I looked at Edward, he caught me and smiled back. I stared at him wide-eyed. What? No threat? The teacher put a worksheet on my desk. Simple stuff. Labeling a volcano? I can do this in my sleep.
"Ladies, first?" Edward pushed the paper to me. I blinked stupidly. He frowned and muttered. "Or...I can do it..."
"No. No. I'll do it." I said and grabbed the paper. I hope I wasn't showing off. I labeled the first blank and he snatched it away from under me. I gasped. Oh no...What did I do now?
He grinned. "I want to do some too." He filled in two more quicker then I did the first one. He was right on all of them. I'd met my match in schoolwork. Edward pushed the paper back to me. "Your turn?"
"Ya..." I murmured and pulled the sheet back. I finished the next blank and he pulled it away.
"My turn." He muttered and finished the rest, which was only two more. He pushed the paper to the top of the desk and turned his whole body to me. I strinked away as he watched every movement of mine. He grinned. I did too and turned away to doodling in the side margen in my paper. He continued to stare and finally spoke.
"Its too bad its raining, isn't it?"
I looked up and my lip twitched, I hid a smile. "Its alright...I guess..."
"I'd think someone from Airzona, such as yourself, would hate the rain." He said staring at me harder. It was getting weird.
"Ya, I guess you would say that..." I said honestly and scribbled a light line in my paper.
"You don't like the cold." He said again. Its like he knew my mind.
"Or the wet..." I confessed and grimaced.
He laughed a laugh that you only here on out musicals. "Forks must be a difficult place for you then." He chuckled.
You got that right. I stopped scribbling and looked at him more. His face, which I vaguely remember being dark as night. His eyes where lighter then before. Brighter. More child like.
"Did you get contacts?" I blurted out with out thinking.
He looked away from me for the first time. "No...It must just be the lighting in here..." He murmured and went to playing with his pencil. He probably thinks I'm a freak now. I noticed he was still on the extreme edge of his chair like yesterday. I looked away too.
"So, why did you move here?" He said, so unexpectedly my lead broke on my pencil. I eyed him. He looked normal, calm, cheery. Not at all like yesterday. I spoke up.
"My dad got a new job..." I mumbled and shaded in the lines of my paper.
He chuckled. "You make it sound horrible."
I rolled my eyes. "It is to me." I said. I'd wish he would drop it, but I was glad he wasn't sending nasty notes my way.
"Why? Did you have any friends in Airzona? Best Friends? A boyfriend?" He pressed. I gasped and blushed a deep red. I was pressing my pencil so hard into my paper it look like the table would give way before my pencil did.
"W-Wha...I...I-" I shuddered. My blush was making it hard to talk.
Edward looked amused. "Ya. I bet you had a boyfriend." He smirked and turned. The teacher was starting up again on a new lesson. I huffed and slammed my broken pencil into my bag and snatched out a new one. He laughed silently at me. I shot him a angry look and he laughed even harder. I wanted to snap my pencil over his head.
The bell for lunch rang a half hour later. He shot out of his seat like a rocket before I even had time to blink. I stared stunned at the door he disappeared though. I shook my head and cleared my thoughts of Edward Cullen as I slowly walked to lunch with Jessica. We sat at our usual table with a group of friends that seemed to have grown bigger over night. I glanced around the cafeteria, someone caught my eye.
Edward and a group of kids sat in a circle around a lunch table. Food was in front of them but no one ate. I studied them. The blonde tallest girl looked like a child star. She had wavy full hair and breath taken face that had a hint of makeup. Not that she needed it. She pouted, it reminded me of Tinkerbell. The next girl was more like pixie then her. She had short hair that spiked at the ends. It was like looking at light and dark. The blonde girl looked like a famous star, dressed up like a runway model and the other girl was like a lacy frenchdoll, clothes that probably cost a fortune.
The blonde girl looked up at me and gave me a deathly glared. I quickly turned back to my table and hung my head. My mom always told me it wasn't polite to stare. Minutes later when I turned back they where gone.
My group was begining to stand up and I followed. I wasn't done with my food, but I didn't want to be left alone. I followed them outside into the murky weather of Washington. I was surprised to see a playground out here. Equiped with monkey bars, swings, slides and jungle gym. No one was playing though. I looked forward. A crowd of people were in the field.
"They must be racing, again" A girl named Jessica huffed.
"I don't know why they even try, the Cullen kids always win." Another one said.
Cullens?
"Pfft, lets go back to class. The bells gonna ring soon." Jessica sighed and lead the group back into the school. I looked at the field. I wish I could have seen them run...
When we went back to class I approached Edward about the running. He glared at me and told me it was nothing. He said nothing to me the rest of the class period and shot out of his seat like usual.
The niceness was fun while it lasted.

I had to ride my bike to school again the next day. As I stepped in to the morning frost I had to catch myself on the doorway, I looked down to see frost and ice on the ground. My bike ride would be interesting. I rode down the street, faster then usual because of the ice, I noticed alot of other kids where riding their bikes too. More then yesterday, anyways. I got to the crossing guard late and she was already on the other side of the street. She saw me alone and trugged into the lane, annoyed. She only went a part of the way in and not like the crossing guards at my old school, who went all the way into the middle of the crosslane. I pulled my bike across the icy lane looking at my feet. My shoe lace got stuck in the chains of my bike half way in the street. Great way to start the day. I glanced up at the crossing guard, who had a peeved look on her face, then at the bronze haired boy four or five yards behind her. Edward stared at me then looked away. I blushed and fixed my shoe. The crossing guard gasped. I heard a loud high-pitched screech.
I looked up at Edward. He had a look of pure horror on his face as he stared in the direction of the road. I turned that way to see a yellow school bus grinding and swirving wildly at me. I pulled on my pant leg but there was no time to move. I shut my eyes and cringed.
Something hit me and I thought it was the School bus. But it came from a different direction. I was pushed backwards and I was in midair. I felt like a football played that was just tackled. Only, I was a 4th grader that was on the verge of death that was just tackled. My head smashed against the ground. I expected it was fly back up but something cold was hold it in place. In fact, something cold was holding me all around. Was I dead? I tryed opening my eyes when I thought I couldn't. I gasped at who held me into place.
It was Edward. We stared at each other for a long time before he spoke up. "Are you okay?" He panted heavily on top of me. His hand held the back of my head and the other was around my waist. It felt creepy, but it was a good kind of creepy.
"Y-Ya..." My teeth shattered and I tryed getting up. But he held my head firmly in place.
"Don't move." He snapped and stood up. My head laid on the ground in a daze.
"What?" I said and looked up at him. He pointed at my quickly and said,
"I was never here, okay? You jumped backward and tripped. Okay, you following me? I was never here." Edward said in a low quick voice and ran into the bushes, away from the school. I stared at where he disappeared in confusion. He was a hero. A kid hero that just saved my life. Wouldn't he want to be thanked and rewared? I heared a sucking of air and the bus door flew open. I tilted my head to look at the frantic bus driver.
"Ohmigod! Are you okay kid?!" He screamed and ran over to me.
"YaYa. I'm just fine..." I mumbled, starting to prop myself on my elbows. The bus driver didn't believe me.
"Someone get the nurse!" He yelled behind him and turned to me. "Hey, what happened to the other kid?"
Oh no. I'd have to lie. And I was such a bad liar. "Uh..What other kid...?" I shifted my eyes around in mock confustion. The bus driver looked convinced dispite my horrible lie.
"Oh, I guess I was just imaging things. It was all so fast I was just confused." He mumbled and looked up, the nurse was standing there. She bent down to craddle me in her arms and she rushed clusmly back into the school. I twisted my head back to the bush, which showed no sign of change. I sighed and continued on with second worst day of my life.
--
I woke up later in a bright room. It was scattered with posters about good hygiene and washing hands. The back of my head pounded with ache. I rolled over and groaned. Edward sat there with a wide grin on his face. I gasped and jumped back, hitting my head on the wall in the process. He chuckled at me and rubbed my head.
"You sure are a danger magent." Edward said and patted my head. I pouted and glared at him. I looked around, the nurse was in the other room. Good. I turned to him slowly. I gripped on to his shirt and yanked him down to my eye level. He looked mortified. I tryed not to grin, ruining my evil look.
"All right, talk!" I whispered veriously and quickly under my breath. "How did you run so fast to tackle me? I saw you on the other side of the parking lot for crying out loud! More importantly, Why did you?"
Edward looked at me like I was going crazy. I probably was. Then he learned my game and his eyes darkened. He leaned in closer to me, he looked angrier then I would have looked at that moment. Dear god, what have I done?
"You saw nothing." He said slowly.
"I did too." I said leaning in, our faces where inches apart.
"You hit your head on the pavement when you fell backwards." Edward growled, trying to convince me.
"No...I hit my head when you tackled me." I said slowly. He backed his face up. I smilied darkly. I've won. He pushed himself out of his chair and grabbed his bag in a huff. I smiled from my bed. I had the advantage now. He looked up at me.
I almost passed out from shock. His emerald eyes were wide and glistening. It looked like he was about to cry. I stared at him, jaw dropping.
"Y-You won't tell anyone...will you?" He wimpered and stared at me with puppy dog eyes.
I didn't know what to say. I just nodded and stuttered out, "I won't tell anyone, Edward." He gave me a weak crooked smile and walked out the door.
Edward's POV.
I smiled and skipped down the hallway.
That was too easy.
Phew! That was a long chapter to write. I hope I didn't miss anything.
I hope you enjoyed it! :'D Edward you fiend!
