I'm so sorry for updating this so late, I slept late and woke up late and now I have a huge headache.
I'll try to make this one not a cliffy so stop hating me will you?
And to the story:
Previously…
"You wanna go out? You're a lot prettier than average and I think you'd make a nice girlfriend." He offered.
"…"I blushed slightly at his comment. "I—"
"Sorry, but she's already with me." A male voice claimed from behind me. Was it him?
The boy in front of me narrowed his eyes at the one behind me. "Hey Bella, long time no see." He was so dazzling in front of me. And his grin was so captivating.
"Edward!" I yelled. I ran up to him and jumped into his arms.
"What make's her yours?" The other boy asked.
"Well, Mike…It's because I actually know her and she's my one and only love." Edward smirked triumphantly and Mike walked away.
"Whatever Eddie, you can take her. There are a lot of other hot girls here."
I noticed that Edward was really pissed off. "What's wrong, Eddie?" The gleam in his eyes shone brighter than ever.
"I'd prefer it if you'd just call me Edward." He stated. He took my hand and stroked my hair with his fingers. "I've really missed you."
"Me too." I answered.
Something broke our moment of silence, "EDWARDDDDDDDDDDDDD!" A voice screamed from a distance away.
"Oh no, this is bad." Edward gripped my hand tighter.
"What is it?" I asked, confused.
A girl with blonde, corn silk hair and blue eyes was walking towards them, "Edward, are you like ready to be my boyfriend now?" She asked, not noticing me.
"She's the head of the cheerleading squad named Lauren Mallory. She's been stalking me since forever and really wants to be my girlfriend." Edward whispered in my ear. I nodded to show that I understood.
"Are you like going to answer my question or not?" She asked, obviously annoyed.
"I'm going to say no and that'll forever be my answer. And besides, I'm already with my love." Edward answered triumphantly.
"And like who is your love?" She asked. I was already getting annoyed of her using 'like' in every sentence.
"Bella." He answered with a smile.
"Like who the hell is that?" She asked.
"Her." Edward turned to me and then he kissed me softly on my lips.
Lauren's eyes turned a crimson red and steam started pouring out of her ears, "Listen up, bitch. I've been trying to get Edward to be my boyfriend for like more than 3 years, so some new girl like you can't just pop out of like nowhere and automatically get to be his girlfriend without even asking."
She took a breath, "You're not even that pretty and I'm like 100 times more beautiful than you could ever be! You don't deserve to be his girlfriend! Just you wait; I'll like come by and sweep him out of your arms someday."
"Don't you dare talk to Bella like that! She never did anything to you!" Edward reached out his hand to slap her and I held him back, "It's ok."
Lauren glared at me, "Just you wait! I'll like get you, Edward." She walked around us and Edward turned to me again.
"Are you okay?" He asked, worried.
"Yeah, I'm fine. It's not like she tried to hurt me or anything." I let out a small laugh, trying to lighten up the mood.
He pulled me towards the school building and we had a nice, little talk. "Edward, why was she so mean to me?" I asked.
"She's just jealous of you since you're prettier and you have a nicer body." I blushed why he said that. "She's going to start bullying you so don't let her get the best of you. She also has two followers, Jessica Stanley and Kalley Hamilton so watch out for them."
"Why would she be jealous of me when she's obviously better than me. Only you think the other way." I stated.
"Of course, you're the most beautiful, kind and smartest girl to me. She doesn't have something that you do and that would be me." He opened the door to our homeroom since we had every single class together.
"There's an empty seat next to mine so you can take it. Here." He pulled out a chair for me near the front of the class and took a seat to me. I glanced around the classroom and noticed a familiar face.
"Lauren has this class too?" I asked.
"Well, she has every single class with us except for Biology." He thought aloud as he tapped on his chin. I sighed.
The teacher, Ms. Krayon walked into the room and placed her folders on the desk. "Settle down, class. We have a new student today. Bella, please come up here introduce yourself."
I nervously got up and walked to the front, aware of all the eyes directed towards me, "Hello, I'm Bella Swan. It's nice to meet all of you." A brunette about the same height as me got up from his chair and ran up to me.
He took me hands and stared into my eyes, "Hi, I'm Tyler Crowely and I love you." I flinched.
I heard Lauren's remark from her seat, "God! Like how many cute guys do you need to steal?!" So she likes Tyler too.
Edward appeared in front of me and protectively grabbed my hand, "Sorry Tyler, but she's already taken."
Tyler sighed, "Edward, how come YOU get all of the hot girls?"
"Why don't you take Lauren, she's up for grabs." Edward suggested coolly.
Tyler's left eye twitched, "Dude, she's a slut."
Lauren jumped up from her seat, "I am not! I only want Edward to be mines!" She yelled.
The teacher got up unhappily from her seat, "Everybody, sit down!" She commanded. We all followed and went back to our seats.
Lunch finally came after another two hours of school. "Thanks, Edward." He placed our food down on the table and took a seat next to me. "No problem," he got his fork and tried some of the stir-fried noodles.
"Why the hell does he love her? I'm way better!" I heard Lauren complain from two tables away. The two girls next to her had bored expressions on their faces.
An Asian boy with glasses walked up to me, "Hey there cutie, can I sit next to you?"
I didn't know how to reply, "Sure?" I answered.
"Just don't touch her or anything, Eric." Edward warned.
After and awkward silence Eric said, "So Bella, tell me how you and Edward met."
"Umm-" I didn't know what to say. "Sorry, but it's personal. You don't need to know." Edward answered. I felt that he was acting a bit jealous.
"Whatever, dude. Just chill will you?" Eric answered.
I heard another one of Lauren's remarks, "God, she's such a hoe!"
"Yup, she sure is." Jessica and Kalley agreed.
"Bella, let's go to biology." Edward suggested.
"Okay," I answered. I got up and dusted off my skirt.
"Bye cutie," Eric sent me an air kiss.
"Bye, Eric." I waved. Edward grabbed my hand and pulled me away. "Let's go."
Biology flew by and then PE came up with Coach Clapp. My teachers seriously have unusual names… I was changing into my PE clothes inside the girl's locker room when I felt a tap on my shoulder.
"Hey, you must be Bella." I nodded. "Well, I'm Mary Alice Brandon. Call me Alice." She introduced.
"Hi Alice, have I seen you somewhere?" I asked.
"Well, I have homeroom, English and PE with you." She answered.
"It was nice talking to you," I went to my locker and locked it. Then I headed outside to do stretches and talk with Edward. I could never get tired of him.
After school, I was at the front gates and got out my cell phone. I was about to call my mom when I saw Edward, "Shall I drive you home?" he asked.
"Of course." I followed him to his shiny, silver Volvo and he opened the door for the front passenger seat for me. "Thanks."
"So Bella, anything new with you?" He asked.
"Well, mom and Rosalie died last year in a car crash." I answered.
"And are you happy about it?" He asked. His right hand was on the wheel and his other holding mines.
"Well, I guess so." I answered truthfully.
"Anything else?" He asked. Then I told him everything from Charlie to Renee and to how I started school. "Well, that's pretty much it." His car stopped with a halt and he walked me to the front.
"Would you like to come in?" I asked. I opened the door with my keys and waited for his reply. He nodded and took his shoes off, placing them on the front porch.
"Mom, I'm home!" I called. She rushed down from the stairs. "Hey sweetie! How was your first day of school?" She asked.
"It was…interesting and good." I answered. She then noticed the extra person inside our house. "I'm glad you like it. And who's your friend?" She answered.
"He's—" Edward interrupted my again, "I'm her boyfriend, Edward. Nice to meet you, Renee." He smiled politely.
My mom's jaw dropped, "Boyfriend? Bella, it's only the first day of school and you already have a boyfriend." The last part was more of a sentence than a question.
I gave her a nervous smile. "So, what's your name?" She asked Edward.
"It's Edward Mason, mam." He answered.
"Edward Mason, as in the son of the Mason Family?" She asked to clarify.
"Yes."
"Oh my my, then you're always welcomed in our home." She stated.
"Thank you."
"Let me cook the two of you something to eat." We followed her to the kitchen and sat down. "Have some iced tea." Renee poured us some tea into 2 cups of ice.
"Thanks," we both said. Edward took a sip, "Mhmmmm, the scent is really strong and it's delicious." He complimented. He really knows how to brighten up a woman's day.
"Thank you." She turned around and cooked something on the stove. I grabbed a plate for us to share in one of the cabinets. "Here you go." She emptied the alfredo pasta onto the plate and handed us each a fork.
After the meal…"I should get home soon." Edward checked his watch. "I'll escort you out then." I walked him to the door and then kissed him on the cheek.
"Bye Bella. See you tomorrow." He got out and slipped on his vans. "Bye Eddie!" I called after him. Oops, my bad.
"I like that boy, he's a keeper for sure." My mom watched him drive away through the window.
"Okay, I should go upstairs and do my homework." I turned around and walked up the stairs. "Sure thing, sweetie."
I took of my backpack and threw it on my desk. I sat on my bed and reflected on my day. Wow, today was weird. Three guys hit on me and a girl was really mean to me. My cell phone started to ring. I picked it up and put it to the side of my face.
"Hello?"
I'm 10 hours and 31 minutes late on updating today.
So very sorry to my readers.
I was busy working on my essay for school and my grandma was rushed to the hospital.
Pretty hectic day, you know?
Thanks to my friend, JessicaMoo for helping me with the details and characters.
Well, please R & R.
