GPOV (Gabriella or Gabby)
I stepped out of my car after I was done eating and headed off to Biology.
I was too shy to sit in the cafeteria during lunch. I knew Fallon, my brother, would sit with me, but I didn't know if anyone else would. Anyway, I enjoyed the comfort the music that came from my radio gave me.
I was late, of course, and everyone turned to face me. Their faces were shocked as they stared at me with wide eyes.
My own eyes widened when I saw that my brother was holding hands and sitting with one of the most beautiful girls I had ever seen. Then a picture of Princess Tanya ran through my mind and I shuddered, not knowing what would happen if my parents or her parents found out about this. He didn't even seem to notice me, he was too busy talking to this girl, and I hated her already. Fallon had always looked after me, and defended me, but know he wasn't even paying attention to me, just because of some girl. My eyes filled with envy as I examined his expression, and hers. His was full of lust and love, which surprised me. He was always picky about girls he chose, and they were always conservative, but this girl was anything but. She wore the shortest of mini skirts. She also had on a bikini top, or so it seemed.
I sighed and made a brave move and sat next to a very cute boy with bronze hair. I realized just as I sat down that he had a letter jacket on. Either he was the quarterback, or he was dating the quarterback. I pondered that for a moment and made up my mind that he was indeed the quarterback. I could tell by the way all the girls were looking at him.
Their eyes full of jealousy as I sat beside him. The weird thing was that this boy was glaring at Fallon as my brother and this girl flirted with each other softly. She was the only one who did not look at him. I wondered if there was a story behind that, and my curiosity got the best of me as I decided to ask someone after class about them.
As class went on I found that this boy's name was Edward Cullen, courtesy of the teacher. Apparently there had been old lab partners and now that he had two new students he was just going to have to rearrange them. I was to be with Edward. I was excited and nervous. I shouldn't have felt this way around a boy, I was betrothed myself. But the person to whom I was betrothed only cared about looks and money. He was extremely handsome and a huge player. I bet he was cheating on my right at the moment, so I told myself: why not? It wasn't like we were kissing. I would just flirt with him a little.
He turned to face me when the teacher told us to get to work on a lab. His green eyes shot to me at last, and I took a breath, realizing I hadn't been breathing. Even though he was looking at me, I could tell his mind was on the girl Fallon was with.
We did the lab together and I found out he was smart, funny, and just simply amazing. Well, not simply, there were many reasons.
After class, we walked together to his locker.
"So, how do you like Forks so far?" He asked, his British accent sounding just like mine.
I made a face and said in a mocking tone, "Well, if you call hating the weather and the people liking, then yes I like it."
His face seemed to fall as I said this, "You don't like the people?" He asked softly.
"Well, you are the only decent person I have met so far. There was this girl, Lauren, who kept making fun of me." I admitted, making me hate Lauren more, something I didn't think possible.
He laughed and I glared playfully at him. When he saw my face he cracked up. His green eyes were full of wonder and amazement, but buried down beneath them was pain.
"So," I said getting the next question over with, not wanting to hear the answer, "What class do you have next?" My voice broke, and my cheeks turned crimson as I blushed.
He chuckled, his eyes full of remembrance, then he said, "My best friend used to blush a lot-" Then his expression was pained and he looked at the ground. His face came back to the present, along with his eyes as he softly answered, "Math."
There was definitely something that happened to him, something horrible. You could tell form the look in his eye. IT made you want to cry just looking at it.
I nodded; I had gym along with Fallon. I walked off toward the gym without saying another word to this man who I had just fell madly in love with.

Halfway threw gym I noticed a girl named Angela. She had been nice to me earlier today when I asked her for a piece of paper, so I decided to ask her my question.
After gym, as she walked out into the parking lot alone, I ran up to her.
"Hi, Angela," I said, in my nicest voice.
She turned toward me and smiled, "Hello."
"I wanted to ask you a question," I waited for her to answer, but she just nodded so I continued, "Do you know what happened between Bella Swan and Edward Cullen?" I had learned her name from this perverted guy in my gym class named Mike.
Her face fell, and she sighed. I waited and realized we had stopped walking and it had started to rain. All the cars were gone, and we were the only ones left. I noticed that our car was here, but Fallon was not. He must have gotten a ride from Bella. I spat her name in my mind.
I looked at Angela again, and her face was torn. She seemed to be contemplating on telling me. She gave in and sighed.
"Well," She started off, and for once her voice was not happy, "Bella and Edward used to be nerds," That was hard to imagine. How could the two most beautiful people I had ever seen be geeks, "and they were best friends? They were always there for each other. She was bold and he was shy. They were the perfect match, though they took it no further than friendship. What no one knew—except Bella—was that Edward was an amazing football player. Bella told him to try out. He did and was made quarterback. He instantly became popular. Then the day he found out, Bella tried to tell him congratulations, but found him sitting at the popular table—which she now sits at also, because she was always pretty, just none of us noticed until recently. Anyway, she went to Edward and just tapped him on the shoulder politely, saying nothing. He turned around and insulted her. I can't describe to you how her face looked," She said, her voice pained, she cared for Bella, "There aren't words. She ran away crying. Now they hate each other. Then Bella started going out with Jake, a football player. He broke up with her for Bella's best friend, Alice, who took no interest in him. She is dating our baseball star, Jasper. Bella has been a different person ever since. You can tell Edward regrets what he did, and he wonders if she would forgive him. I don't think that the jerk deserves it. Now Bella is dating you brother, they kissed at lunch."
I gasped. This was all news to me. He was betrothed, for god's sake. He couldn't date.
Then again, I never did like Tanya, though she was pretty.
"I heard he was going to ask her forgiveness tomorrow." She said.
I said thanks and goodbye to Angela. Tomorrow was going to be and interesting day.
Like it?
Well, anyway I can't believe that I have 107 reviews for my story: Once a nerd, not always a nerd. I posted this like three days ago and it only has 3 chapters. It is amazing.
Review please!
