"Oh." I said, highly embarrassed. My eyes flew to the ground and a blush crept up to my face, and I could feel my ears burning as I wanted to bury my head into the sand.
He laughed slightly, pulling my face up. "You and I shouldn't be friends. We belong to different social circles and we are exact opposites." He said smiling a smile that didn't seem very happy.
I frowned. "How would you know pretty much anything about me, Edward?" You've known me for less than two days. Face it, you know nothing about me." I spat.
"Well, assuming that I know a little bit about you, you aren't a whore, you aren't a player's girl, you aren't a musician, you aren't a liar like I am. I'm not good for you." He said as he pulled up his guitar, running his fingers along the strings. Edward struck a chord.
"I am a liar. I'm a better one than you know." I whispered, ducking my head down. Tears filled my eyes as I thought of the brave face I put on every day in Forks. People expected me to breakdown and be upset about Charlie's death, but I put on a smile every day and refused to break down. His funeral was the only time I cried in front of people.
When I looked up though, Edward was just smirking. He leaned in closer to me so I could smell his musky, drug filled scent. "Honey, you may hide things, but my life is a lie. You think people at school ever see me fix them up and make sure they don't have concussions? You think people ever hear me say sorry like I did to you? If you do, you're fooling yourself. Edward Cullen isn't soft. I'm stronger than you think I am and I'm not always happy and carefree about it. You think I don't care? Well, I suppose you're half-right." He said laughing slightly. I thought about it for a minute. Not having a real mom or dad? That had to be tough on him.
"You have everything you want, and you still act like an ass to everyone, including your parents. Maybe you're right, I shouldn't and I don't want to be around you." I said, crossing my arms in front of me. He looked pained for a minute before putting a straight face on.
"Good. Then you can get out of my room and stop bothering me." Edward said, but he looked more upset than he wanted to let on. I stood up and opened the door. Alice was crouching on the ground, obviously listening to every word. I grimaced.
She didn't seem phased by most things Edward had said though. She had a wide eyed look on her face like a deer caught in the headlights. "They're going to ask me if I want to be adopted?" Alice whispered. She didn't even seem to see me. "We're going to be a family!" She said, dumbfounded. I smiled lightly at her as I started walking down the stairs.
"Alice? We've got school and if you want to give me a makeover, then we have to do this now." I said smiling. She followed behind me like a puppy. Her eyes didn't lose the look of pure awe. She didn't snap out of it as she did my makeup, and more than once I had to remind her that we didn't have all day. I ended up in a royal blue V neck vest, a white top that had sleeves go down to my elbow, and black jeans. She put on my ratty black and white crossword Converse. I grinned at how comfortable and how me the outfit was. She put on a heavy coat of eyeliner and gold eye shadow which brought out the amber in my eyes. I looked at myself for the first time in a while, and actually felt confident about my appearance. She hung gold hoops through my ears and smiled at me, but I still felt like she wasn't concentrating on me, and I was so happy for her that I didn't care.
We both climbed into my gigantic red monster, taking off to school. Alice had just gotten her license so she didn't have a car yet. She was a bit younger than me. She sat dazed as I drove her to Mountain View High School. We walked into the school as if we were queens of the world. I smiled as Rosalie gave me a death glare and Emmett stared at his feet. I smiled brightly at her as I passed her by. I heard catcalls and whistles as I passed by the hoards of guys. I stopped at my locker, grabbed my books and went to find Angela, swinging my hips as I walked.
I found her drinking at the water fountain, her body entombed by dark baggy pants and a dark baggy hoodie. I smiled, loving the way she dressed. I knew that if I had my own choice, as hot as I felt, I would love to be back in my clothes. Something about being noticed made me feel a little scared and unprepared for whatever was going to happen next. Angela stood up and stared up at me, her eyes trailing my body. I grinned at her as she looked stunned.
I smiled and made my way to class.
Later
I laughed with Angela as we made our way into the lunch room with Alice. We sat down at a table and were automatically swarmed by guys. Ben and Andrew Crowley sat next to me and Angela, and Alice's crush, Jasper, came by and sat next to her. I barely registered as Alice's face blushed bright because it went away so fast, but she talked up a storm with him. I smiled at them before I felt someone brush by my back. I turned my head back to see Rosalie glaring at me, Emmett frowning at me, and Edward staring straight down at me.
"You left this on my bed earlier before you, eherm, left for school. You know, you were making such loud noises last night that I'm not surprised you forgot your purse." He sneered as I heard the Crowley boys snickering. I heard Mike Newton laughing behind Edward. Edward dropped my pink and black zebra print purse on the table, directly on my milk. I screamed as the milk squirted at my hair, and I blushed profusely. This was war.
"Yeah, I did leave this at your house this morning, considering we're neighbors in a DUPLEX and out of the two of us, I could hear you jerking off through the walls last night. Couldn't get any Eddie? You left something at my house too. Your balls. Want them back? Call me when the real Edward comes back." I hissed as I stood up and grabbed my purse, wiping it on the napkins in front of me. I shook some milk at Edward's hair. He looked shocked at me, but Angela followed. Alice started to get up, but I told her to stay talking to Jasper. Angela and I walked out of the cafeteria, heads held high, but as soon as I was out of sight of Edward, I automatically broke down.
