9. Lunchtime
I sat down on my own at my table in the back. I always sat on my own. I didn't really like company, especially since most of the people here didn't like to give me company. I was just too plain, I guess. My boring brown hair and boring brown eyes and boring pale skin didn't really attract much attention. I opened my lemonade bottle and took a long cool sip. I only drank at lunch times, last time I ate I was sick, dancing doesn't help digest, it helps to chuck everything straight out my mouth. I shuddered when I remembered the time I puked, ugh I had felt horrible.
My phone beeped,
Hey,
We'll be there in 5
-Alice
Well, at east I had something to look forward to. I looked around and saw Irina and Lauren, the two most annoying and arrogant but beautiful girls laughing loudly with some other popular girls and boys. Lauren hated me, I laughed at the disgusted face she made every time she saw me. I wasn't too bothered though; I couldn't care less what bimbo number 1 and bimbo number 2 thought of me. Alice and Jasper suddenly came into view and I smiled at them as they walked up to me. Alice and Jasper were holding hands, aww, they looked so cute.
Rosalie and Emmett came next. Emmett had a tray of food piled right to the top. What the hell did that guy eat? No wonder he was so muscular.
"BELLA!" I heard Emmett yell. They all came over and sat down, Emmett lifted me from the table and hugged me. I lost my balance and practically fell off my seat when he set me down.
"Where's Edward?" I asked looking around for him.
"He's coming," Alice giggled and began to eat her tuna sandwich.
Suddenly, Edward came into view. A tray of food in one hand and the other hand in his hair. He looked over and smiled at us.
He sat down opposite me and grinned crookedly. I smiled and looked down again, What the hell was he doing? One minute he was giving me death glares and blanking me out, the next minute he was stopping me from breathing.
We started to talk and Jasper was telling us how great the music equipment was here when Lauren and Irina and a few other girls walked up to us. I raised my eyebrows at her and Rose and Alice gave her death glares, which she chose to ignore. She put her arm out to lean on the table and curved her body towards Edward. I really felt like slapping her now.
"Well, hello, gorgeous, where have you been all my life?" She said, batting her eyelashes furiously at Edward. I laughed so loudly and choked on my sip of lemonade. Corny much? Emmett began to pat me, no; more like whack me on my back.
"Like, what's your problem, guy-freak?" Lauren said looking furiously at me.
"Yeah, guy freak." Irina repeated and the girls behind them all began to giggle. She turned her attention back at Edward who had a shocked look on his face. He glanced at me nervously and I smirked back, I liked to see how he could get himself out of this situation.
"My name is like, Lauren. Do you wanna, like, join us at our table? What's your name?" I bit my lip stifling myself from laughing again. The rest four all looked like they were doing the same thing.
"Nice to meet you too Lauren," he smiled crookedly at her. Well that stopped me from laughing. Lauren giggled her high-pitched giggle and battered her eyes more at Edward. Okay, why was I feeling jealous? He could go and flirt with whoever he wanted. Why should I care? But, if he's my friend, shouldn't I care? Oh my god I was so confused. Grrr… I hate Edward for making me confused.
"No thank you, I'm quite fine on this table, it has a remarkable view," He pointed at me or was it behind me? Either way I felt heat creeping on my cheeks. Damn my stupid blushing.
"And my name is Edward Cullen." He finished off smiling at her, she giggled some more,
"Well, see you later Edward," She said, trying to sound seductive. I glared at her.
"Like, what's your problem?" She turned to me,
"Like you." I replied back, mocking her. She didn't seem to understand though.
Mike came over just in time. He grabbed Lauren by the shoulders and said,
"Go. Now." He turned her around just before she waved at Edward in a girlish manner. When Lauren was out of sight, Mike turned round to me.
"Sorry, I know she's a bitch. I'll keep her away from you but something," and he glanced at Edward, "seems to draw attention to her." He chuckled and so did I. Too right, Edward seemed to draw everyone's attention.
"Thanks Mike." Mike squeezed my shoulder, "No problemo." He said as he walked past me. I smiled and looked back at Edward, my smile faded away when I saw Edward glaring at Mike's back.
"So, you and Mike seem pretty close." He said, looking straight at me, his green emerald eyes held no emotion. He seemed to be mirroring my reaction just what I had felt a few minutes ago when he was talking to Lauren.
"Yeah we are." I said carefully, trying to say as little as possible. I was mostly concentrating on him.
"Are you going out?" He said, looking back at me curiously.
"No." I immediately shot back and blushed. "We're just really close friends. He's more like a best friend than anything else." I saw Edward's features relax a little and he smiled, "Plus, Mike's more of a player. Not my type." Now, he was smiling his crooked smile. I glanced over to my pixie friend; she was making quite a racket. I realised she was encouraging Emmett to stuff a WHOLE pizza slice down his mouth. My jaw dropped as he shoved it all in, smashed his mouth open and down and then swallowed it, and replaced it with another slice of pizza.
"Emmett, do you have stomach or a well?"
"I like my food." He said, with his mouth full.
Jasper reached over and splashed Emmett in the face. All movements from Emmett stopped as he figured out what had happened. He stood there, blinking. His face drenched in water. Rose, Alice and I started to laugh at Emmett's dumfounded expression.
"Dude, what was that for?"
"That's for getting sauce on my face."
Emmett grabbed the water bottle and threw water at Jaspers face. Now Jasper was struck dumb,
"Has the sauce washed off your face Jazzy?" Emmett asked innocently.
I rolled all over laughing my head off, Edward was laughing too and Rose and Alice were going crazy.
"And what are you giggling at Eddie?" Emmett and Jasper both turned around to face Edward.
"No, don't you dare, you'll ruin my shirt. Please?" He pleaded to his brothers. Suddenly, Emmett and Jasper's fists went flying and before we knew it, Edward had pizza and chocolate cake all over his face. I was laughing so hard that tears were coming out my eyes. Edward raised an eyebrow at me.
"You think this is funny?" He had a serious look on his face. I couldn't answer because I was laughing so much. He reached over, grabbed the custard cake from his tray.
"I swear I wasn't laughing at you." I tried backing away. Too late. Edward reached over and I felt his hand smear warm custard all over my cheek.
"No way." Alice giggled. She gave Edward a high five who had a very satisfied smirk on his face. We started to settle down then, still laughing occasionally. Edward was talking to Jasper about something and had to lean over Alice.
"Edward, I'd like to apologise," I said. He still wasn't looking at me. But I saw the corners of his mouth twitch.
"For laughing at you." I was right next to him now, trying to make him face me. He turned around and BAM. A tuna sandwich hit Edward right on his face. The bread slid off and plopped onto his lap and I saw Edward's shocked green eyes.
"OH YEAH MY SIS RULES." Emmett reached over and high-fived me. I laughed so hard at his face; he still didn't say anything though. Rose and Alice were giggling too, well, Alice was squealing and Jasper smirked at me and nodded at me.
"You are so go-…"
"Gotta go, Edward. See ya." And I raced inside laughing all the way. I laughed to myself remembering Edward's shocked face. He really deserved that tuna in his face. Today didn't actually go so bad,
EPOV
"Come on, everyone. It's school time." Alice mocked. She sounded like we were in first grade or something. I rolled my eyes at her. I was the last person and locked the door. We managed to sort out all the details like rent and Rosalie had some spare copies of the keys. We had also touched a little on the subject of Bella. Rose and Alice told Jasper and Emmett everything. At the end, both their eyes were watering and my fists were balled.
"Hey, dream boy. Get a move on." Emmett called out from his Jeep.
Rosalie and Alice were both in Bella's car; I was still amazed at how casually she let them drive her car. My Volvo was my prized possession. I smiled at Bella's selfless nature; there were very rare people like her.
Jasper and Emmett were taking the Jeep and I decided to go with them. I sat in the back, listening to my ipod. I had to do something to block Emmett's constant talk about Rosalie or Jasper bursting out every two minutes with,
"And have you noticed how Alice does this…" Or, "And have you seen the way she does that…" And so on. I never knew Jasper would find someone like Alice; they were clearly a perfect match. My phone made a sound, a text,
Eddie
Miss you
-Tanya
I scoffed, is that all she could send me? Four words, no I love you, no how's thing settled. I think I need to tell Tanya that it's off, but what if she cries? I sighed. What's going to happen then? I scoffed at myself, Shut up. Stupid. Why would she cry over you? She doesn't even care for you. She said so herself. I remembered the words; they were like sharp blades running through me.
"Eddie, my first priority is myself, my second is my family, my third is my friends and my fourth is you."
I remembered the hurt I felt when she said those words to me. My mother and father never liked her from the beginning and Emmett and Jasper really hated her. I don't know why I've stayed so long with her.
"Here it is." Emmett jumped out the car and Jasper followed. I stepped out. Whoa, the school was big and looked even better in real life. We walked inside.
At the reception desk was a woman about 40 years old. I cleared my throat,
"Excuse me, but we're the new students." She looked up to see me.
"Well, what can I do for you?" She began ogling me. Ugh, sick. I decided to stick to being polite.
"Well, could you give us our information packs?" She handed them to me,
"Here you are sweetie. What's your name dear?" Okay, she was beginning to creep me out.
"Edward Cullen. Sorry, I have to go now and see my girlfriend." Her face immediately fell. Thank god for that.
"Okay, have a nice day honey." Her eyes dropped to her computer screen. What a perverse secretary!
Rosalie led the way to Bella's dance studio. I could hear music coming from a mile away. We all stopped at the entrance. I held my breath when I saw Bella and the vile Mike boy, singing and doing wild moves together. I felt a knot inside my stomach and every time Bella and Mike playfully bumped their hips I felt the knot tighten more. The sight of Bella with all that flesh showing was a little distracting. She was so beautiful; I couldn't even begin to explain. But the words were really starting to get on my nerves. What kind of song was "I want to make love in the club?" I hope Mike wasn't getting his hopes up and Bella was a decent enough person not to make love in a club.
"I'm
what you want, I'm what you need
He got you trapped, I'll set
you free
Sexually, mentally, physically, emotionally
I'll be
like your medicine, you'll take every dose of me
It's going
down on isle 3, I'll bag you like some groceries
And every time
you think about it you gon' want some more of me
About to hit
the club, make a movie yeah rated R
Pulled up like a trap
star,
That's if you have you regular car
You wanna make love
to a thug in the club with his sights on
87 jeans and a fresh pair
of Nikes on
On the couch, on the table, on the bar, or on the
floor
You can meet me in the bathroom yeah you know I'm trying
go"
I wish I could have strnagled Mike, those were the foulest words ever! How could Bella possibly be enjoying this. Hmm… I need to have a serious talk to Bella on her choice of music.
Bella was actually a really good dancer so Mike didn't really deserve her. Damn it. I wish I chose dancing instead. Mike seemed to get really touchy feely when it came to Bella. Especially the streetdancing moves, that's when Mike and Bella seemed to get uplcose quite a lot.
Why was this bothering me for?
Bella is your friend and you're looking out for her.
I repeated this line in my head about 70 times until finally the lunch bell went.
