First Day
Alice looked sad as she said "not you too Bella", before pointedly glaring at Edward.
"No Alice, it's not what you think," I started to explain.
"Whatever. Well, I was just coming to make sure you were okay before I went to sleep. I'm guessing you're just peachy!" she said and walked out.
I groaned and stood up to move to a different couch, anywhere to get away from Edward. This day couldn't possibly get any worse. He pulled me back down as soon as I stood up.
"Where are you going?" he asked startled.
"A different couch. Anywhere," was my reply.
He looked sad all of a sudden. He pulled me into his lap and ignored my attempts to wriggle out. He began to stroke my cheek as he murmured "I'm not sorry I did that you know."
I pulled back. "Of course you're not! I'm just another name to add to your list of girls. It pisses me off that I let you do that. Now, I'm no different from all the other girls."
"You didn't feel it?" he asked.
"Feel what?" I lied, knowing fully well what he meant, but there was no way I was letting HIM know that. He'd probably forget about this by tomorrow.
"You know, when we kissed-" he groaned, let me go, and put his head on his hands.
I could hear him mumble some unintelligible words under his breath.
I walked over to the nearest couch and heard him say something.
"What?" I asked.
"I said you can go sleep in the room."
I looked at him in shock. What had brought about this change? But I wasn't about to argue, I turned around and went into the bedroom.
I don't think I got a wink of sleep that night. So many thoughts were running through my mind as I tossed and turned.
When I woke up, I was surprised to see Alice sitting on the edge of the bed, watching me.
"Alice! How long have you been here?"
"Just a few minutes. You know Bella, you talk in your sleep," she said.
She was talking to me, I hoped that meant she forgave me.
I groaned "what did you hear?"
She smiled. "You kept saying my name and apologizing over and over again. I was never mad at you."
"Oh, thank goodness," I said sitting up.
"I'm just mad at him. I saw everything that happened," she said sadly.
"Well!" she perked up in an instant. I have no idea how she did that. "Go take a shower Bella! I have to choose an outfit for you!"
That's how. Alice and clothes. I stood up grumbling, grabbed my towel, and went into the bathroom.
When I came back out, she already had an outfit laid out on the bed. I felt my eyes widen.(pics of outfit on profile)
"Alice, you can't expect to wear that skirt! It barely covers a third of my thighs!"
She just glared at me and I knew there was no arguing there. The only compromise we had was for me to exchange the heels for a pair of tennis shoes instead. I didn't want to injure myself my first day of school.
I sat like an obedient child on the bed while she did my makeup. As soon as she was done, there was a knocking on the bedroom door.
"Hurry up guys, I need to get dressed too," Edward called through the door. I grabbed my bag and started to walk out the door with Alice when I noticed for the first time the two garbage bags in the room.
I stared as she began to pick them up "Alice, what are those?" I asked.
"Your clothes, silly," I opened my mouth to argue, but she shot me that same glare that made me immediately shut my mouth. Sneaky little pixey.
We opened the door to let Edward in and I froze. He was standing there in nothing but a towel and his bronze hair was darker as it was wet. I was still staring when he asked "Bella, could you please let me get into the bedroom?" I blushed and hurried into the living room, Alice right behind me. She was looking at me with odd expression on her face.
I grabbed my keys and helped her with one of the garbage bags as she grabbed her school bag. We walked out of the building and dumped the bags in a nearby dumpster. Emmett. Rosalie, and Jasper were sitting on a bench nearby.
I pulled my skirt down, I had a feeling I would be doing that a lot today, and walked over to them with Alice.
"Hey Bella," Emmett grinned when he saw me.
"So anything happen last night" Jasper asked. I froze, but then realizing he was talking about Jacob I blushed and shook my head.
"Well, you let us know if he has any classes with you because that could lead to trouble," he replied.
"Okay," I squeaked. They looked at me funny as I walked away, towards my first class. I was already feeling extremely guilty and I didn't know how I was going to tell Jayden about Edward. Maybe I shouldn't.
As I walked into my Calculus class, my worries vanished and were replaced by fear when I saw Jacob sitting at the back of the room. The class was pretty vacant because I was early, but I didn't want to take my chances.
I walked to the opposite end of the room and sat down, ignoring his watchful eyes following me.
I kept my eyes straight ahead and my breathing was coming out in ragged sounds. I was really hoping he wouldn't come and sit beside me. My hopes were destroyed when I saw him stand in front of me.
"Hey Bells," he grinned as if he hadn't just threatened me yesterday.
I gulped. "Jacob" I wouldn't look him in the eyes.
He lifted my chin with his finger and looked into my eyes. "So, did you think over what I said yesterday?"
"Yes," I whispered. A couple of the students in the room were looking at us strangely.
"And? Did you change your mind?" he asked impatiently. I could feel the seconds ticking by.
"No," I squeaked. I watched as his brows furrowed and his face turned cold.
"Bella, I don't know why you're making this harder than it needs to be," he said through gritted teeth. "You know you still want me, and I won't leave until you say so. Now say it," he sneered.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked to the side to see Jayden. I hadn't seen him walk in. He was looking at me with worried eyes. "This guy bothering you Bella?" No, not Jayden, I didn't want to get him involved. Jake had already threatened to hurt anyone who stood in his way.
"This the guy Bella?!" Jacob was screaming now and I was becoming extremely frightened.
"No!" I squeaked. The classroom was filling up now.
It was at that time that the professor walked in and I gave a sigh of relief. I watched as Jayden sat beside me and Jacob, not finding any closer seats walked back to his previous one.
I was aware of Jacob glaring at me throughout the entire class period but I refused to look at him. I was visibly shaking in my seat and hoping he wouldn't catch me after class. I was already formulating a plan to make a run for it.
As soon as the class was over I told Jayden I'd see him later and sprinted out of that class room!
Throughout the entire day I kept a lookout for Jacob. He didn't have any other classes with me.
At lunch I was relieved to see my friends in the dining hall, waving me over to sit with them. I stood in line and grabbed a burger, carefully avoiding the stares of some guys along the way. I sat beside Alice and across from Edward, because I was uncomfortable around him after the incident yesterday.
I hadn't realized someone had spoken to me and was surprised to see everyone staring at me.
"What?" I asked.
"Rosalie asked if you had any classes with Mr. Stalker."
"Oh, yeah. My 1st period class Calculus. Jayden's in it with me too and I don't think Jacob likes him very much."
"Have you told Jayden about Jacob yet?" Alice asked.
I shook my head no.
"Well, you better do it soon. He deserves to know that some psychopath is after you and will do what ever it takes to get you." Emmett boomed.
"I know. I think I 'm seeing him tonight, I'll tell him then."
"What? You're seeing him tonight?" Edward asked glaring at me.
I ignored him.
The rest of the lunch time went by quietly as I was thinking about all the drama in my life. I was the last one out of the hall and when I walked towards my last class, Music Expertise, I felt a sudden lightness. Music was the one thing that gave me relief when I was tense, and I remembered the random tune I'd hummed in the shower that I wanted to try out.
I opened the door to the classroom and froze. There was Edward sitting at a piano playing a beautiful piece. But there was something about it, it was just so sad. What could he possibly be sad about?
There were only a couple other students in the room at other pianos. I began to walk over to one when I saw Edward turn and look at me.
"Come here Bella," he patted the space next to him.
I hesitated and walked over to him, then sat down.
I'm extremely sick right now(stupid weather) and don't know when next I'll update.
I hope this isn't considered a cliff hanger b/c i've been doing that a lot and feel bad. I've also updated twice to make up for yesterday.
well, please REVIEW!
