Real Time

Bella's POV

I awoke in the morning to no rays of beautiful sun, like most regular people; due to my living in Oregon. I awoke to pouring rain and grey skies. As I yawned and stretched, I smiled at myself for sticking to not talking to Jacob the other night. Perseverance would pay off eventually.

I got dressed, and went downstairs to eat breakfast by our heavily decorated Christmas tree, waiting for Emmett to come downstairs so we could ride to school together.

When he does, I smile. "Morning, Sleeping Beauty!" I say.

But then I can feel my smile slowly fade…. Jacob follows him, dressed and ready to come to school with us.

In the car, I sat with my arms crossed, and didn't speak a word. I didn't sing along to a favorite Green Day song that was playing on the radio, and I most of all made sure not to even glance in Jacob's way. However, I found myself thinking about him al lot…

Why is he in the car with us right now? I wondered. Did he sleep over or something. Either way, I don't care about what Emmett said last night, Jacob deserves being ignored. Especially after what he did to me. The pain IS still here… Jacob was and is somebody I can never forget. He better make it up to me someday.

Throughout school, I slumped down in my chair… Not thinking of handsome boys who betrayed me (kind of). Edward must have noticed about halfway through first period when he slipped me a note across my desk.

I opened it up and read it.

Bella,

What's up? You don't seem regular right now… Are you o.k.?

-Edward

The pure thoughtfulness of the note made me smile. How was it that Edward always seemed to lift me from my sorrows? I had no idea, but it gave me a strange warm feeling that nothing else gave me… I liked it. I wrote back:

Edward-

Yeah, I guess I'm okay… Just tired of drama. And stupid people. Thanks for being so considerate. You rock for it!

-Bella

I passed the note on to him and watched him raise an eyebrow when he went over the whole stupid people part. Then, Edward looked up at me with his amazing, fierce green eyes. They gave me chills. The part that didn't seem very "Edward-ish" , was that he was frowning, of all things. Looking heart broken…

I hung my head, contemplating all of the possibilities of why he could seem so sad, right after reading my note?

Then he passed the paper back and I read what he wrote:

Bella-

What do you mean by stupid people?

-Edward

I could feel my heart sinking. I had made Edward hurt. Me! Me of all people!!!! Cherry on top of the perfect freaking day.

Edward-

Oh my gosh!!!!!! I'm SO sorry, if there is anything I could do to make it better?

-Bella

Still feeling ashamed, I didn't notice when Edward passed back the note, but I did, when he just so happened to start cracking up during one of our teachers' lectures. Out of nowhere!!! I looked at him quizzically.

"Mr. Cullen!" shouted our teacher. "Is there any good reason why you are laughing right now?"

"No sir." Edward replied, composing himself.

"You sure?" he asked, but Edward shook his head no, and then the teacher proceeded with his lesson.

I looked at Edward's note he'd passed to me.

Bella-

I was faking being sad. Haha. I hope you're okay. Want to get together over the weekend to get away from stupid people?

-Edward

I wrote him back, and smiled.

Edward-

Yes, I'd love to get together. Movies? I really want to see this romantic comedy that's out recently. Anyways, how have you been recently?

-Bella

Edward quickly wrote back:

Good, now that you're here. Sorry that was so cheesy; but it's probably the most true thing I've ever said.. Err… Written.

-Edward

I smiled ever more. Beamed, to be exact. I was about to write him another note, but the bell rang, and then it was lunch time.

Edward and I went through our usual routine walking to each of our lockers; and then sat down at the lunch table after waiting in the ten minute lunch line. He would sweep his hair out of his eyes every now and then, and he'd smile at me (and I would of course smile back when he flashed his sparkling green eyes at me). _

At the lunch table Alice and I talked about plans for the weekend and I told her Edward and I would be going to the movies and she raised an eyebrow, but I ignored it. Emmett and Edward spoke to each other about cheat codes for video games, and we sat together happily until Jacob came up to the table and sat next to Edward.

"Edward, bro," began Emmett. "This is my friend Jacob." he announced and Jacob took his and out for Edward to shake, and introduced himself.

Unfortunately, it seemed like they got along… well. I sat with my head in my hands, thinking of better things ahead, of movies with Edward, of ice cream even on rainy days, of no Jacob. And so I continued to sit there and watched my new living hell form…
