Bella's POV
"Is it possible to die out of boredom?" I asked Edward as we were filing in the cafeteria to get our props.
"Silly Bella. But I do have to agree with you, the morning was rather monotonous." He said, but I knew from his expression that he was wishing we could have just skipped class. We managed to get our food, one that we would not be eating and headed to a lunch table at the far corner of the room where the others were. They were looking in different directions just like the first time I saw them in Forks.
We pulled up a chair and began to play with the food to make it look like we actually touched them. Emmett was the one who broke the silence.
"So are you guys gonna play tonight?"
"Of course we are, Emmett." Jasper answered him.
"This is Bella's first time playing baseball, we should go easy on her." Emmett teased.
"Thanks for your concern but I'm still going to beat you Emmett." I snapped.
Emmett seemed amused at my confidence in which he just shrugged his shoulders, a grin in his face.
For the remainder of the time we mostly discussed about our classes while Edward played with a strand of my hair. When we told them about my "admirers" and Emmett defending me they found it hilarious.
"I wish I could have seen that." Jasper said
"Yes, it was quite amusing, especially when he pretended he had a watch on his wrist." Edward grinned at the memory. I was surprised he had gotten over it so quickly.
"I saw that too." Alice added. Of course she did.
"It would have been nice to break his neck because honestly I hate that guy's guts." Emmett said then let out his signature laugh, probably imagining it right now.
"At any rate, I think Bella won over Rosalie this time." Edward said, his eyes full of humor as he looked over at Rosalie. She just glared at him.
"You think you know everything Mr. I-can-read-everyone's-mind, for your information, I had 26 guys drooling all over me today and 5 of them unsuccessfully tried to ask me out on a date." Rosalie reported at him. She really hates the idea of someone overshadowing her beauty.
"Don't worry Rosalie, he's just messing with you, everyone knows you're the most gorgeous vampire there is." I told her, hopefully she would be assured and let the subject go.
"I find that hard to believe love." Edward told me, of course he would not believe that, he can be a little biased sometimes.
"You're biased you know."
"Am I?" He asked cocking his eyebrow. I moved my shield away from me to speak privately to him.
"Will you please let it go, I don't want Rosalie to start hating me again." I pleaded at him and snapped my shield back into place.
"Okay, okay, maybe I'm a little biased, sorry Rosalie, but Bella is still the most beautiful, for me at least." Edward amended.
Before Rosalie could respond the bell rang.
We hurried to our next class, Gym. I groaned at the idea of me in Gym. I have to keep up the human charade to avoid unwanted attention so I have to play slower than my usual. I hate being slow, I love the thrill of being fast and I hate going otherwise. It's ironic to think that I used to hate Gym before, for reasons that I might hit someone due to my unusual clumsiness. I never saw the day that I would more or less dislike PE for my unusual stealth and grace.
Edward and Alice would be with me during my PE class, so it's bound to be a lot less of a torture. Alice and I hurried to the girls locker room while Edward went to the guys locker room.
"Alice do you have any idea what will we be playing today in class?" I asked her, surely she must have seen what will we be doing today.
"We're going to play volleyball. The worst sport ever, for vampires at least. They're planning to group us in three and practice some warm-ups for the first half of the hour. After that we're going to have a real volleyball match." Alice said, a noticeable grimace on her face.
"How come it's the worst sport for us?"
"Volleyball is a sport where we combine speed, strength and stealth, we have to be twice more careful in being inconspicuous." She explained to me.
"Oh" was all I could say since I couldn't think of anything better to say.
We finished changing and met Edward by the double doors. We sat at the bleachers where the other students seemed to have taken their place. All eyes were on us as they absorbed our beauty. The fact that me and Alice were wearing gray sleeveless sport tank tops with red mini shorts was not helping. I could tell from Edward's poker face that he's trying to block out unwanted thoughts from them, but it's really pretty obvious that he's trying not to rip the guys heads off. Coach Lee then called order in class.
"Okay class, today we would be working on your volleyball skills. First we will set you into teams with three members to practice then we would have a volleyball match. " he ordered to us, I only paid half attention since Alice already told me.
The rest of the class formed into teams, one guy in particular tried to approach me but thought otherwise as he caught Edward's glare. It was already decided even without saying a word that Alice, Edward and me would team up.
"I'll go get one of the volleyballs." I volunteered. I quickly got the ball, mentally preparing myself to carry on the human charade and walked back to where Alice and Edward were when I noticed that one girl was talking to Edward-or better yet flirting with him. I almost popped the ball in my bare hands.
"Hi there, you must be Edward and Alice." She said in an overly sweet tone without removing her eyes off of Edward, batting her fake eyelashes and twirling her fingers through her hair with eyes that say 'Notice me!'. Then as to my irritation she brushed her hand against Edward's left upper arm. The nerve of that girl! I could almost barf at her actions. I tried to imagine grabbing her hair and dragging it across the room along with her body and twirling it up into the air only to be released and be thrown against the wall. I enjoyed it- a lot a might add.
I walked over to them careful not to give Edward away that I was jealous. I had told him that it was silly to be jealous but look at me now, practically wishing to inflict pain in this poor girl just for touching him. I was probably worse than him. I'm such a hypocrite. But somehow, I think he noticed because the next thing he did was to slip his arm around my waist.
"Nice to meet you, oh and this is Bella my girlfriend."
"Hi" she said in a sweet tone with a smile on her face that even miles away you could detect it was fake.
I smiled back at her only to mimic the same smile she had given me.
"I was wondering if you guys could use an extra player for your group." She said apparently not giving up.
"Sorry, our team is full." I told her with another fake smile.
"Oh" was all she could say. She walked back towards her friends who were apparently watching the whole thing and started giggling and gossiping to one another as soon as she was there. They didn't know that we could still hear them with our vampire sensitive hearing.
"Can you believe that brunette girl?" asked the girl who has just been flirting with Edward.
"Yeah, she thinks she's all that just because she's going out with him." Said a red head girl
"I'll show her. Nobody stops me from getting me what I want." Replied the girl
They continued their little gossip until the coach came over them and told them to warm-up while I fought my internal longing to torture the girl.
Edward chuckled beside me and kissed me lightly on the lips with the other girls watching us with incredulous eyes.
"You're so adorable when you're jealous." He said. I knew it. I'm such a hypocrite.
"Ugghh, I'm not jealous" I said exasperated, lucky for me I don't have to blush whenever I'm lying.
"Bella, I know you better than that, I can read your eyes." He said, for one wild second, I thought he was answering my thoughts.
"Hmmpph!"
"Okay you two, break it up we have to start practicing, Coach Lee will come here in just one minute." Alice interrupted us. We started passing the ball to each other using a fore-arm pass without dropping it. It was pretty easy but I had a hard time not to keep it from going to the floor or the ceiling. The 30 minutes ended and we were now about to start the match, luckily Edward was on my team. Alice however was benched in the mean time because there were too many players. The girl that had tried to flirt with him was in the opposing team.
Unfortunately, I was up to serve first, I prayed with all my might that I hit it just right. Eventually I served the ball to the opposing team and to my satisfaction it didn't went off flying and making a crack in the wall. One girl rushed to the ball and made a forearm pass to the one next to her, she settled the ball in the air while another guy jumped up in the air and spiked it. None on my team were able to save the ball so they ended up scoring a point. The girl who had been flirting with my husband whose name was I assumed as Jenny as I heard from the other girls, was to serve up next. There was a loud THWACK and the ball went flying directly to my face, I managed to stepped back and passed it back to her. She was really trying to get on my nerves. Gym went by quickly with Jenny directing every shot against me with evil eyes. Our team won the match- I wasn't really surprised, what with two vampires on the team with the other being able to read minds. I changed clothes and went on to my next and last class, Algebra.
"I'll meet you after class." Edward waved at me as he was off to his next class.
"Bye."
When I passed the doorway, I caught a familiar scent, it was Jasper. I guess we're going to be in the same class.
When I saw him though, he was surrounded by a crowd of females about six or seven of them. Jasper looked up and saw me, apparently smelling my scent.
"Hey Bella, come sit next to me." He said, I was shocked. I had been used to our non-contact relationship for fear that he might lose control over me, but this could be my chance to get to know him better.
The huge group of girls turned and glared at me, they were obviously trying to sit next to him.
"Thanks Jasper." I replied.
"Are you his girlfriend or something." A girl asked, rudely I might add, I blinked shocked.
"No, he's my brother." I chuckled, best to act out our cover story.
I could tell from Jasper's expression that he was resisting the craving and bloodlust raging inside of him. It was the hardest for him than most of us to resist human blood. It was hard for him to take that I have so much self-control even though I was just a new-born.
"Would you mind giving him some space? He has a girlfriend." Their faces went glum at once I said this revelation but nonetheless went back to their seats.
"Thanks Bella, I almost lost control back there." He grinned but the same martyred expression was visible on his face. I laughed along with him, the sound coming out like a bell-chime.
The teacher came, his name was Mr. Drew. The lecture was something pretty basic so I didn't pay much attention. Jasper and I during the lecture, however, would occasionally engage in a small conversation to distract ourselves from being bored. The rest of the period seemed to have taken a monotonous tone, with each passing second my need for Edward growing stronger. I needed him like a drug, as if I was drowning under water- unable to breathe- and I needed him for air.
Finally the bell rang, I collected my things as fast as I can in human speed and waited for Jasper. He chuckled at my haste but managed to hurriedly collect his things. We walked out of the room and there he was, leaning by the wall to my left, looking like an angel as ever- My Edward. He smiled my favourite smile at me as we approached him.
"How was your Algebra." He asked to be polite.
"I'm sure you can answer that question all by yourself, you were spying on me again weren't you?" I teased him knowing full well that my accusation was true.
"You caught me." He admitted smiling an impish grin. I recalled the first time he admitted he had been spying on me, I was infuriated naturally, but now it doesn't bother me as much. It feels as though he's just close by and in the same room as me and he's constantly protecting me. He cares for me as much as I care for him.
"I think we better head to the others." Jasper said. Edward had me by one arm around my waist as we walked through the halls and outside to the parking lot. They were already there, waiting for us. I got in the Volvo and raced home.
