A/N: Again. I'll try to write longer chapters…And I'm sorry in advance if I don't write as soon as possible because finals are coming up and I'm really into reading more fanfiction stories. Oh, and the story is still in Bella's point of view.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters or Twilight :[
We ran towards the front school doors, opened them, and then sprinted to class. By the time we reached first period and sat in our desks, the bell rang 8 seconds later. Alice and I both looked each other and sighed.
Mr. Dawson droned on and on with the lesson while I and Alice were so bored that we were practically half-asleep. I had learned most of the lesson back at my old school so I could easily tune the lesson out and go into my own world. My senses were still on guard in case the Mr. Dawson called on me but other than that I was dead bored.
"Psst," I whispered to Alice, who was slouched halfway in her chair and with her head in her hand.
When she heard me call her, she straightened up a bit and looked at me gratefully.
"I'm so freakin' bored as hell." I complained to Alice.
She giggled quietly into her tiny hand. "Me too. What do you want to do for now?" she whispered back excitedly.
I thought for a moment. I started to tap my fingers on the desk unconsciously, one of my habits.
"Oh, let's name all the dateable guys in this school." I say anxiously. Alice smirked.
I need to get my mind off of Edward. There are other good guys I can actually go out with.
"Hm okay, well there are a lot of guys here that are available. What's your type?" Alice asked with a smile.
Your brother, I wanted to say but instead I said, "Okay, he has to be caring, compassionate, intelligent, sweet, loyal, hopefully act likes a gentleman, someone I can be myself with, share my secrets with and someone who doesn't judge me for who I am. And someone who won't hurt me intentionally." And he has to be Edward, I trial off suggestively.
Alice's eyes scanned my face as if looking for something important. I didn't know what, so I kept my face blank.
Then she spoke, "That sounds like two people I know."
My eyes widened in surprise and curiosity. I looked at her with a cocked eyebrow.
Alice looked around to see if anybody was hearing us or if the teacher was looking our way and then looked back at me satisfied.
She looked back at me but managed to avoid her eyes from meeting mine. "It sounds a lot like Edward and my old friend who used to go here."
My heart jumped. Did she know about how I like Edward?
I looked to see if she noticed my panicked face but I didn't see anything. So I played it off easily.
"Who was you friend?" I asked trying to get her mind of any thoughts about how close my confession was to Edward.
Alice's lips twitched like she knew what I was doing.
God, is she physic?
"My friend Dimitri. He used to go here but then he and his parents moved to Hawaii. They wanted to stay somewhere really sunny. He's a pretty cool guy. He was really close with us." She explained with a bright smile.
I was interested and I wanted to know more. I was still bored and we had about 25 minutes still left of class.
"What were his hobbies?" I ask curiously.
"He loved to play piano, just like Edward," My heart skipped a beat, "He liked to play any kind of sport but, mostly football, loved to play video games and he kicked everyone's ass including Emmett. He was what you said, compassionate, loyal, smart, etc. But the one thing I miss about him is that he was someone who gave you advice when you need it. That boy is like magic or something." Alice continued on excitedly while motioning with her hands. I laughed at her.
"He seems like an amazing person." I comment smiling widely.
Alice paused and looked at me, "He is. He's just your type Bella. I wish he were here." She said sadly. Her tiny nose was wrinkled and a visible pout was present on her face. Her eyes were glittering with tears.
I hated seeing her like that. She seems too fragile. I moved a bit to the right to get closer to Alice and grabbed her hand. She squeezed it and looked at me back with a watery smile.
"Aw Alice, don't be sad." I say soothingly.
Alice sniffed, "I'm sorry. I cry over anything. I just miss him you know."
"I understand. I miss my friends too."
Alice wiped her tears away embarrassed. She looked around to see if anyone saw her cry. When she didn't she took a deep breath. I rubbed her back gently.
"I'm fine now." She said, now cheerful.
Alice and her mood swings. I snort quietly.
My senses prickled. I looked in the Mr. Dawson's direction and saw that he was looking our way but not exactly at us. His eyes scanned some of the students to see if they were paying attention. I immediately grabbed my pen and poised it above the paper as if to make him think that I was actually writing notes. I nudged Alice's side gently and when she looked my way I motioned slightly with my head to the teacher's direction. She saw and did the same thing I did. She smiled at me gratefully. I just shrugged pathetically.
The teacher looked at me and I smiled trying to look like I was paying attention. I heard Alice snicker quietly. I kicked her foot under the table and hear her mutter a little 'ow'.
Slightly concerned, the teacher spoke, "Ms. Cullen is something the matter?"
Alice's eyes widened and she cleared her throat softly, "Um..no Mr. Dawson."
"Oh, okay then." Mr. Dawson said unconvinced but didn't want to argue.
Now Alice and I had our full attention on Mr. Dawson. He turned back to the board to write something down. I noticed that it was our homework for tonight. I groaned and wrote it messily on my sheet of paper. "Stupid homework," I muttered to myself.
"All right guys, your homework is written on the board. It's a bit difficult but if you paid attention then you should be fine. Its due Friday and I expect all of you to turn it in to me. No exceptions." Mr. Dawson said firmly. The class groaned but no one complained out loud in fear of getting screamed at. Everyone started to talk loudly and pack their bags. I along with them. The teacher sighed and went to sit at his desk.
I grumbled and looked at Alice. "I hope the homework isn't hard."
Alice calmly asked, "But I thought you get the whole lesson?"
"I do actually. But I'm worried that I will get too swamped with homework."
I pulled my backpack on and got up from my seat.
Alice danced to my side gracefully, "Don't worry. Besides if you do, we'll go to my house again and do it together." She said excited.
"Seems good to me."
The bell rang three seconds after I spoke. I smiled at the irony and walked out the door with Alice.
We stepped out to the hallway, heading towards the cafeteria. The hallways were crammed with students. It was hard not to get pushed and shoved. I walked while Alice bounced in silence. Alice seemed to dodge every person that got near her.
So lucky. Hope I don't jinx myself and run into anyone.
But I did jinx myself. As I got out of my thoughts, I smacked hard into someone. I stumbled back and fell on my ass, my backpack landing a foot from me. The people who were near swerved to avoid this contraption.
I groaned loudly and grumbled. My cheeks were burning red. I heard a few people laugh out loud. I looked at them and glared. They flinched back and went back to their conversations.
Alice was at my side laughing hysterically. I forgot about the person I ran into when I heard Emmett's booming voice, "Falling for me already?" Emmett teased.
I snapped my head up and glared at him. He laughed. Rosalie, as usual, was at his side and giggling madly. When I looked at her, she smirked fully at me. I narrowed my eyes and bent down to get my backpack. Emmett was still laughing.
I shook my head angrily. I looked at the trio and scowled.
"Stupid Emmett and his bear-like body, stupid laughing pixie, stupid Rosalie, stupid me for always freakin' falling," I grumble and mutter to myself. Emmett heard and laughed harder. They all did.
Bitches.
I had enough. "Can you guys stop laughing now? It's not my fault I fall every single time." I growl.
Alice still laughing says, "Bella you have got to admit that you're like practically disabled."
I huff, "Not my fault."
Emmett teases, "Yes it is, Bella Fella. Get it? Bella Fell-a?" He continues to laugh.
Rosalie and Alice stop laughing immediately. Rosalie walks to Emmett and smacks him on the head. "That's not funny Em."
Emmett pouts. Rosalie rolls her eyes but then pats his head softly where she had hit him.
Alice looked at Emmett like he was retarded. I, the same.
"What an idiot, I swear." Alice muttered. I giggle.
"I heard that!" Emmett yells.
"Good then!" Alice yells back sarcastically. I adjust my backpack and look around. It was nearly empty save for some jocks sitting and goofing around.
"Guys, we should get to the cafeteria. Everyone's probably wondering where we are." I say loudly.
Emmett stopped arguing and said, "Food!" I laughed at his excited face.
"Yes food Emmett. Now let's go before it's gone."
Emmett looked panicked and then grabbed Rosalie's hand and sprinted to the cafeteria, Rosalie yelling at him all the way.
"Oh, yeah thanks Emmett. You ditch us now!" I yell to him, mocking anger. Alice chuckled.
I heard Emmett's voice farther away saying, "No problemo Bella Fella!" And then his rumbling laughter that vibrated through the halls.
"AHH!" I screamed out of frustration. Alice looked at my face and busted out laughing. She was pounding her fist against her leg trying to gasp some air and tears were starting to run down her cheeks. "Hahha…your f-a-ace…is….hil-la-r-r-ious!" She gasped, laughing harder.
My stomach grumbled loudly. I checked my cell phone time and saw that we had wasted 5 minutes already. I wanted food now.
"Alice let's go." I demanded, pissed off at her laughing.
Her laughter was coming to an end but she was still trying to catch her breath. She breathed deeply in and out for a minute.
"I-I'm sorry Bella," She gasped. "Come on."
"Finally." I muttered, gratefully.
We walked quickly towards the cafeteria. The halls were empty now. When I opened the cafeteria doors, it seemed like everyone froze in place and looked in our direction. I felt so many gazes on my face. I felt so self-conscious and I blushed. Alice just sighed and walked cheerfully towards her table where everyone sat.
I caught all the Cullen's expressions when we finally walked through the double doors of the cafeteria. Jasper's was anxious but then it relaxed into relief when he was the both of us. Emmett was bored and smiled widely when he saw us or rather me. I guessed that he wanted to tease me. Rosalie was indifferent. Tanya was glaring at me but smiled only when she caught Alice's eyes. And the last person made me straighten up a bit. Edward's expression had been frustration but then became happy when he caught sight of me.
My heart skipped a beat as I thought that maybe Edward was frustrated with Tanya. Frustrated with her attitude. I felt hope creep into my heart. Maybe he will see what a bitch she was and break up with her. Then we could have our chance. But then something else bubbled inside of me: Guilt. Guilt when Tanya will become heartbroken. I know that I really liked Edward but I didn't want to hurt Tanya in that way. I wasn't a selfish person.
Alice waved her hand in front of my face, "Bella? Earth to Bella?"
I stepped out of my thoughts and focused on Alice's face, clearing my daze.
"Huh, what Alice?" I asked confused. Everyone from the table was trying to stifle in their laughter. My eyes narrowed a bit and I raised an eyebrow at Alice, demanding an answer.
Alice smirked, "You zoned out. I was wondering why you weren't beside me. And then I see you standing in the middle of the cafeteria like an idiot." She giggled which sparked Jasper to laugh and then so on….
I rubbed my neck, "Oh seriously? Oops."
Emmett boomed, "Who's the idiot now?" He joked.
I scowled and did a total Alice move. I stuck my tongue out. Emmett laughed harder. I huffed and stalked to the table pouting. I slide the chair out next to Alice, who had sat down next to Jasper and dropped into it. I threw my backpack on the ground next to the chair. Everyone by now had stopped laughing and just continued eating their food from their trays. The cafeteria was buzzing with laughter, loud voices, and the sounds of people eating their food. My stomach grumbled for the second time that day and sighed.
I got up from the table and spoke to the group, "Well, I'm going to get something to eat," I looked at Alice, "Want anything Alice?" I asked patiently.
Alice chimed in, "Nah. I'm going to eat some of Jazz's food. Thanks though."
Of course. Alice is too tiny to eat a full lunch tray.
I chuckled and looked at Jasper's tray. There was a lot of food: two burgers French fries, chips, a cookie, and a coke.
I nodded at Alice and looked pointedly at everyone else. Emmett shook his head, Rosalie grimaced, Tanya glared harder and Edward shook his head too, smiling at me amusingly.
What are you smiling at?
I grinned and turned towards the food line. I grabbed a tray and looked at the different selections. I was in the mood for something good. Something tasty. My eyes scanned the foods intensely.
"You know, you're going to burn a hole through the poor pasta bowl." Edward's husky voice said behind me.
I jumped and let out a small squeak.
"Damn it Edward! Are trying to scare me to my fall of shame in front of the whole cafeteria?" I asked annoyed.
Edward chuckled and ran his hand through his hair, "Sorry. You just looked like you were concentrating so hard on just food. It was funny."
I sighed, "I'm really hungry and I want something really good. I was inspecting the food to see if anything didn't look like dog shit."
Edward laughed, "Nah. The food here is decent."
I looked once again at all the food hidden behind the glass and shrugged. I decided to get the pasta bowl, a cookie and a sprite. It looked good.
"Good choice." Edward complemented while grabbing a pepsi from the basket sitting near the food.
I grinned. I paid for my food and waited for Edward to buy the beverage and then we headed to the table. Once I got there, I set my tray on the table and sat down.
"Whoa, that looks good Bella." Emmett said while looking hungrily at my food. I raised my eyebrow at him and then looked back at his tray. All the food was gone except some crumbs, a crumpled Doritos bag, and a smashed coke can.
"God Emmett, you just ate." I pointed out surprised. Edward laughed and shook his head. Rosalie rolled her eyes and smirked.
Emmett whined, "I'm still hungry Bella."
Emmett and his big stomach.
I opened my pasta bowl, grabbed the spoon, and ate some. Surprisingly, I moaned at the flavor. It was delicious, too delicious for a school meal.
"Good huh?" asked Alice when I took another bite.
"Yes!" I said still entranced. Emmett was pouting and looking from me to the tray and back again. I giggled, amused. Rosalie was smiling softly at him.
"No pasta for you Emmett. It's payback for what you did earlier." I chimed in happily, enjoying the emotions playing across his face.
"Aww, come on Bella Fella! That's not fair." Emmett complained sadly.
Jasper joined the conversation, "Bella Fella?" Jasper asked bemused.
"Oh it's Bella's nickname." answered Emmett proudly.
Jasper, Edward, Rosalie, and Tanya all busted out laughing. I huffed while Alice was looking on amusingly. Some people around us looked at us like we came from planet Mars.
"Bella Fella?" Jasper gasped, tears running down his face. Rosalie was smiling smugly.
I want to freakin' punch her pretty face.
"Yes, unfortunately," I countered blushing madly. Edward looked at me and smirked. Tanya saw it and returned to glaring at me coldly, forgetting the fact that I was embarrassed.
"That's some funny shit right there Bella." Jasper said humorously.
"Haha guys." I mocked anger, eating more of my pasta. Alice sent me a smile.
I finished my pasta and took a bite out of the cookie. I chewed thoughtfully. Edward took a sip of his soda and leaned back still smiling widely. I sighed.
"Aw Bella, you finished the pasta. Damn you." Emmett grumbled while holding the now empty bowl.
"Too bad." I mocked jokingly. Jasper snorted and clapped Emmett on the back.
Emmett then quickly grabbed my cookie, took a piece of it and then handed it back to me. I hissed, "What the fuck Emmett?!"
He just shrugged, unashamed. I growled and looked away.
"You know what? We should go clubbing this weekend!" Alice chimed in excitedly. She started to bounce slightly.
Rosalie's head snapped up, totally forgetting about her nails and looked at Alice beaming, "We should!"
Tanya's interest suddenly spiked, "Oh my god, I can't wait. What should I wear!?"
I had forgotten about Tanya. So when I heard her voice I was a bit surprised but then remembered her laughing at my humiliation.
Bitch.
I was mumbling to myself when Alice turned to me, "You are going." She said firmly while raising an eyebrow challengingly.
I sighed heavily, "I don't want to go." I demanded.
"I don't care. You're coming, even if it means dragging you myself." she stated smiling evilly at me.
She cut me off when she was about to see me argue, "I will." She repeated.
Edward joined in, "Though Alice is tiny," He ignored Alice's glare, "She's a force you don't want to mess with." He said with a shiver. Jasper nodded, agreeing.
I saw Alice nodding, pleased.
I frowned and looked around the table. Rosalie was grimacing and Tanya was glaring at Alice, obviously not wanting me to go. Edward was just smiling innocently. I looked at him in suspicion but he just shrugged.
Then I sighed and growled at Alice, "Fine," I say through clenched teeth.
Alice let out a 'yay' and clapped her hands. Rosalie sighed loudly and Tanya huffed. But everyone choose to ignore them.
I just looked on miserably. My food was forgotten and I checked my cell phone. We had only about 10 minutes of lunch left.
"Lunch is almost over." I said softly.
Everyone groaned. I just chuckled. I met Edward's piercing eyes. They were smoldering again. My heart started to hammer and the heat was starting to spread through my body.
The electricity crackled between us. We were lost in each other's eyes, completely forgetting about our surroundings. Nothing and nobody existed for these few minutes. It was just me and Edward.
I wish you were mine Edward.
I heard someone clear their throat loudly and cough and I broke eye contact with Edward immediately, blushing. I looked to the person and Jasper looking at us with an unreadable face. Alice was smiling along with Emmett, while Tanya's face was turning red, and Rosalie glaring at me coldly.
Edward avoided my gaze and looked at Tanya. Tanya must have felt his gaze because she looked at him accusingly and hurt. Edward's expression turned to one of guilt. He stepped towards her but she just shook her head, her lower lip trembling.
"Look, Tanya, I-I'm sorry." Edward pleaded.
Tanya just looked at him in anguish and then turned on her heel and headed for the cafeteria doors. Edward frowned and sighed deeply. He was hesitating as if to go to Tanya or stay with us.
All of us looked on to the scene is shock. I felt horrible for Tanya and extremely guilty.
It's always my bad luck.
I stepped forward, "You should go to her and explain." I said firmly. I kept my face black but really inside I was churning with jealousy and sadness.
Edward searched my face but I continued to keep my face blank. He sighed deeply and said, "Okay." With one last nod to the group and a sad smile to me, he left to go find Tanya.
Everyone turned to look at me but I just turned away and looked at my cell phone, silently pleading for the bell to ring.
A few minutes later, I got my wish. Alice sent me a sad smile.
She came to me hesitantly. "Bella if you need to talk, I'm here for you." She said gently.
I smiled back at her slightly, "Thanks Alice." She nodded and turned back to Jasper. Emmett just looked at me and Rosalie looked furious.
"Well I'm going to class. See ya later guys." I say in a monotone and then turn to go to class.
Review please. Thank you. :]
