AN And the 7th, enjoy!
Chapter 7
BPOV
After our little moment, we both got to work, at 4:30, the library closed and we both walked out, there were still other kids in the school, but all mostly in class rooms, there were cheerleaders practicing in the commons, so I started over to a folded table and opened it up, taking a seat on one of the stools.
Edward sat on the stool across from me, and he spoke to me for the 1st time.
"When's the after school bus?" he asked and I looked up at him as I took out my note book to finish my rough draft for my Honors English.
"Um, it gets here about 5:30, I have an alarm on my watch incase I get caught up in work." I told him, trying to get over the softness of his voice; it was like a blanket wrapping me up in its warmth, calling me to him.
"Oh, ok" he said before sitting next to me and getting out the Biology work sheet we were assigned today. It took me minutes to finish up my roughed draft for my expository essay about clicks in high school; I might have rushed, wanting to take advantage of my excuse to work with him.
I got my own Biology work sheet out, and he looked to me before a small smile came to his face again and he stood from the table, grabbing his worksheet and back pack.
He took the seat next to me and set his paper on the table, he only had the 1st question finished…and it was wrong, I corrected him, trying to be nice about it, but pointing out his easy mistake.
He laughed as he realized what he had done, and said he was 'distracted', I didn't let myself delve into that, at the time he was working the cheerleaders were behind me practicing, and the girls varsity basket ball team ran by three times, it could have been anything.
We were just finishing the worksheet when I realized that the cheerleaders were packing up already, yesterday they stayed longer, I wonder if it was just because the day, but checked my watch anyways, I gasped when I read the digital numbers.
5:41
"Shit!" I said as I instinctively started packing up my shit, in panic, I knew the bus was already gone, and my entire plan had fallen through, there was no way I could walk all the way to Broadway before 6, when the after school program closed and they called parents if kids where still there.
"What? What is it?" Edward asked me as he stood trying to get my attention away from zipping my pack back.
"It's late, my watch didn't go off I missed the bus, I going to have to run all the way to Broadway, they can't call them, they can't!" I yelled, not exactly making sense.
"You'll never make it, Bella calm down ok? I have a car I can give you a ride" he said, trying to calm me down, I stopped what I was doing and looked to him.
"Really? You'd do that?" I asked in disbelieve, I was so used to doing everything for myself and everyone else, it was so odd.
"Of course, come on, let's go" he said putting his own notebook away, and slinging his back pack over his shoulder, I felt his hand grip my forearm, the 1st contact we had, even though it was through my jacket, I felt the sparks and looked up quickly to meet his eyes, they were calm and calculating, not exactly knowing what I was going to do, but prepared for it.
I realized I had my own arms instinctively wrapped around my waist, trying to hold myself together, I let him pull one arm away, and then the other as he whispered to me.
"It's ok" he said taking one of my hands and pulling me towards the student parking lot.
"Thank you" I whispered to him and he turned to face me, rewarding me with a crooked smiled.
