An Ordinary Day- Chapter Two
Disclaimer: You guys know the drill. I don't own Twilight, Meyer does.
"Edward, I'm not as easy as you think... so try harder" I whispered. I spotted Angela and Mike entering through the cafeteria door.
I waved at them, and left Edward standing there, with his jaw touching the ground.
"Uh... what was that about?" Mike asked. Angela just stood there with a look that matched Edward's.
"Oh nothing. Edward just being… well… Edward. You know how he gets all cocky about how easily he can get girls", I explained.
"No... We don't. He only started today. As a matter of fact, you've only known him for about 2 hours", Angela replied. Now it was my turn to be confused.
"Seriously? 2 hours?" I asked. Angela and Mike both nodded in agreement.
"Well, anyway, we're having a party tomorrow night in me, Jess and Lauren's room. Pizza, movies, Truth or Dare, Spin the Bottle... you in?" Angela asked.
"Sure. Who else is coming?" I said.
"Umm... Eric, Mike, Jess, Lauren obviously, Sarah, Tyler, your brothers, and I still wanna invite Rosalie and Alice".
"Sounds awesome. I'll be there... but I have to go. I have WoodTech in 10. Ciao" and I walked off to room 32. I have a bench to myself because I am so hopeless at WoodTech. Me, drills, nails and hammers do not go well together and everyone else in class is well aware of that. Emmett and Jasper were both in this class, two big brawny guys... and they were scared of me with a hammer so... yeah. I'm hopeless. The bell rung, making class officially start.
"Now today, we're aiming to finish building our desks. If you've already finished, please help others who haven't quite..." but Mr. Gatt was cut off by some idiot who walked into class 5 minutes late.
"Sorry I'm late, sir, but I got lost", said a beautifully velvet voice. I looked up and saw Edwin making his way to my bench.
"Uhh, what do you think your doing?" I asked, pissed off.
"Sitting next to my favourite girl. What are you doing?"
"Trying to avoid you. Go sit somewhere else", I hissed.
"Trust me, I would if I could. You've got quite the reputation about your... umm... skills in WoodTech. But look around Princess. There are no other sits so it looks like you're stuck with me" he relied.
After Mr. Gatt explained about what we were required to do this lesson and how much time we had, Edward started talking to me. I was supposed to be chiselling a layer of wood from the leg of the stool but I nearly stabbed myself.
"Here, let me help you", Edward offered. I was a little unsure but he looked sincere so I handed him the chisel. He opened his mouth to speak and I was really surprised by what he said.
Edward's POV
She looked uncertain but she handed me the chisel and I started chiselling. It was quiet for a minute so I decided to talk.
"So… what's your favourite colour?" I asked. She looked shocked. "What?" I said.
"Nothing... it's just... that was a normal question", she replied.
"What, you think I can't be normal?" I asked with a grin.
"Blue. But it always changes… It sort of depends what mood I'm in. If I'm in a really happy mood it might be yellow, and if I'm mad it'll probably be black or red" she explained. That was something I liked about her. When she explained things, it always made sense.
"Why blue?" I wondered, curiously.
"I feel calm right now, which is strange considering you're here", she muttered. That hurt. Honestly. I know we weren't best friends but I didn't think she hated me that much. She must have seen my face because her expression softened.
Bella's POV
He looked hurt. Sincerely.
"Sorry Edward but after all that stuff earlier today, I don't really know how to act around you", I explained.
"Yeah I know. My lips are still sore" he chuckled. I grinned.
"Well don't try to kiss me and you'll lips will be fine", I giggled.
We spent the remaining 50 minutes of the lesson talking about… everything. Favourite colours, music, food, book, movies. Then we came to the topic of families.
"So why did you move here?" I asked as the bell rang for lunch. We walked together towards the canteen, standing closer than I would have liked but, it was… comfortable.
"My mother died last year and my dad hasn't really gotten over it. He couldn't really take care of us all so he sent us here", Edward said.
"I'm sorry".
"You know, when most people say that, it's pretty clear they aren't but I… actually believe you", he replied.
"My mum died when we were younger. Emmett and Jasper act like nothings wrong but I know they both miss her" I said.
"How old are Emmett and Jasper?" he asked.
"Actually we're all the same age. We're… look don't tell anybody but we're triplets", I whispered.
"Seriously? You guys look nothing alike, other than your eyes" he said.
"Yeah I know, but don't tell anyone. Jasper and Emmett like everyone thinking they're older. I mean, technically they are but only by… like 5 minutes", I said with a smile.
"Well I'm the youngest in my family as well" he said. I hi-fived him as we entered the cafeteria, both giggling like little kids. But instead of the usual chattering sound I was used to, I heard nothing. The entire school was staring at us. Me and Edward looked at each other before we continued walking towards an empty table. As we sat down some people started whispering. Then Lauren came stomping towards me.
"Excuse me, Izzie, but I need to talk to you", she hissed.
"Excuse me, Lauren, is it? Her name is Bella. If your going to say it say it properly".
My eyes widened.
Edward's POV
"Excuse me, Lauren, is it? Her name is Bella. If your going to say it say it properly" I stated.
Bella looked shocked. But then she said "It's okay Edward. I'll be right back".
Why was she so surprised that I stood up for her… Oh yeah, that's right. She has no idea how much I like her.
Bella's POV
I followed Lauren until we were away from the table.
"What do you want?" I asked, pissed off that I was losing time that I could be spending with Edward.
"Look, Rosalie told me how much you hate him, so stop using him and let have him".
"Excuse me Lauren, but Rosalie has no idea how much I hate him or like him so you should stop believing everything you hear" I said, stopping for breath.
"And you know what? Maybe I like Edward. Maybe I like him so much that I'm going to make sure no one like you will ever go out with".
"And how are you going to do that? Go out with him yourself?" she asked all obnoxiously.
"If I have to, then that's what I'll do. Now will you excuse me Lauren? Edward's waiting for me".
