BPOV
I woke up this fine Tuesday morning, feeling like I'd be fun to wear something even more edgy than I did yesterday.
Just to get all the girls to talk.
It's amusing to know that I can manipulate them without much effort on my part.
I heard all of them talking yesterday about how tight my pants were.
I wanted to turn around and verbally backhand them.
But I didn't. I held it in. I let them think what they wanted.
I knew that if they ever crossed the line, I'd knock them out - & it wouldn't be done verbally.
I wont let history repeat itself.
I decide to throw on a black leather mini skirt, black tights, a faded pink t-shirt & black wedge heel boots. I look outside at the overcast skies & opt for an over-sized denim jacket & a grey beanie.
I know the skirt is going to throw the girls at school through a loop, and I smile triumphantly at myself in the mirror.
When I pull up to the school playing The Stooges 'Search & Destroy', I'm positive I'm the only person in the parking lot who knows what song it is.
But then I look up & see Edward & Alice standing by his car, both with smiles of approval on their faces.
I have a feeling they appreciate my song choice.
Edward looks really good today in his caramel brown jeans, black button up jacket & orange beanie...that pulls his hair out of his face, baring his entire handsome face at me. His eyes threw me into a tail spin more than once yesterday. And that jaw...it was hard to focus in art class since I kept sneaking glances at his profile.
His clothes were impeccable yesterday as well. A man that dresses well gets brownie points from me any day.
I wonder if Alice dresses him. Because she looks equally as fashion forward in her pink sweater dip-dyed in faded black dye, designer jeans & peacoat.
I look down at myself and almost feel bad for looking like a hobo. But then I can see the girls at the outdoor table looking at me in disgust. It's magnificent.
I get out of my car & walk over to them.
"Morning!" Alice chirps.
"Morning." I reply, smiling. I look at Edward. "We're both wearing beanies." I motion to mine on my head.
He looks at it & nods with a smile.
"Yeah, we are. Mine is cooler though. It's orange." He draws out the word 'orange' as if he's bragging.
"Don't hate on grey." I scoff. "It's a great color & I frankly believe it's under appreciated by people like you."
He chuckles - eyes crinkling - & turns to enter the school building without another word. Alice & I follow, myself blushing at being caught off guard by his laugh.
"Your skirt is really cute, Bella." Alice says, looking me over.
"Oh, thank you." We come up by the girls at the table. "It's real leather." I say to her, loud enough so I know they hear.
Alice sees what I'm trying to do & begins giggling. She links arms with me, tugging me to catch up alongside Edward, whose long legs have taken him many strides ahead of us.
Next to him, I realize just how tall he is. He towers over my short 5'3" frame. Probably by an entire foot.
I bite my lip in an attempt to hold in my sigh of longing as I think about how attractive tall guys are.
The whole way to 1st period, I'm busy being ashamed at myself for crushing on a boy so soon.
Ohhh, Bella.
Let me know what you think & thanks for reading! :3
