Chapter 8
I woke up really early, not even Charlie was up and he was an insomniac.
I washed my hair slowly and carefully, it has been weeks since I had a good calm shower. I stepped out of the shower and blew it.
Once in my room I put some clothes on, a blue shirt, old black jean and a black sweater on top, I wasn't sure if I should wear boots or sneaker but I ended up putting some blue boots because it was really cold outside.
I looked at my clock and it was still pretty early. For some strange reason I was nervous to go to school.
Naturally Jessica and Lauren didn't like me anymore because I sat with Alice, Jasper and Edward the day before, and it was just to freaky to sit down next to Edward after we fought, and knowing that I like him more than I could tell.
I didn't know why it was so hard. I've dated a lot of guys, none of them seriously, but it still counts, and I've asked a couple by myself.
I pulled my hair and sat down in the kitchen table. Everything here was so weird. I needed normality right know, and this town was far away from being normal.
When it was time for me to leave I grabbed my keys from my room and ran toward my car.
Of course someone was there waiting for me. And that someone was stupid and had bronze hair.
"What are you doing there standing in the rain?" I asked him as I jumped inside the car.
"I was hoping you could give a ride" Edward said and climbed in the car as well.
"Why didn't you drive with Jasper?" I asked him and he looked at me with sad eyes.
"Are you mad at me because I rather ride with you to school than with my old friend Jasper?" he asked and I could sense the sarcasm and amusement in his voice, I wanted to smack him bad.
"Whatever" I said simply and started driving.
"This is a cool drive" he said to me and I smiled.
I knew my car was cool; it was a BMW 2007 X5 4.8i SAV.
"I know" I said "I bought it myself"
"How could you afford it?" he asked me really curious.
"I'm a model" I said.
"Really?" he asked me.
"Well yeah" I said "I've travel all around the world doing modelling"
"Wow" he said as I stopped in the school parking lot "you are way out of my league now"
"mmm…" I said "I don't think so"
He smiled and climbed out of the car I did the same thing.
"Hey" I called and he looked back, slowing his walk so I could reach him.
"Nice" I said "You make me drive you and then you walk away"
"Thought you didn't want to be seen with me" he said matter-of-factly.
"Don't be ridiculous" I said.
"Good" he said and I smiled.
This guy really needed to get his brain checked. He was one of the hottest guys I've met, and still he thought so low of himself. Then the question just kind of pop up.
"Alice talk to me yesterday" I started "about you getting hurt somehow by somebody"
"Oh"
"Yeah" I said and looked at him; he had thoughtful eyes "I was thinking that maybe now that we are friends you could explain that to me"
"I don't know" he said.
"Please" I said "You know I won't tell anybody and I really want you to be able to trust me".
"It's just… private" he said to me and I felt my face fell.
"But I think I want to tell you" he said and smiled at me "You are different from anybody else I've known and I was hoping you could be someone I can trust".
"I'll love that" I said and nodded.
"After class" he said.
"Sure" I said.
The rest of the day even during the classes I was with him and lunch I felt all my body ache. What was what he was hiding?
