Chapter 8

BPOV

For the rest of the week I ignored Edward. When he tried talking to me in class I would just smile politely or blush and carry on with my work. He was curious but didn't push. I was glad about that.

It was now Thursday and I was sitting in History class with Emmett. Our English teacher had told us about this short-story writing competition where the winner gets to go for a six week writing course in the UK during the summer holidays. I really wanted to enter. It'd be nice to do before going to college. I wanted to tell Emmett all about it.

"Emmett," I whispered not looking up from my work. He ignored me. "Emmett!" I whispered a bit louder and stepped on his foot.

"Ow!" he hissed. "What do you want?" he asked looking at me annoyed. Stupid boy. If he gets in trouble with the teacher its not my fault.

"Look!" I said excitedly and passed him the flyer that my English teacher gave us.

He read through it and then snorted. "You wanna enter this?" he asked.

"Yep." I said, a smile spreading across my face.

He scoffed. "Good luck." he said sarcastically as he threw the flyer back at me.

I narrowed my eyes at him. What was that supposed to mean? Did he not think I would win? Hmm, I'll show him.

For the rest of the day I thought of ideas for my story. The next day I went to the library during lunch to look up some information that could help me in my story. I really wanted to make this story perfect. I was hardly paying attention to what was going on around me and jumped in shock when I heard a cough come from behind me.

I turned around shocked to find Edward standing behind me. He was looking at me curiously and eyed the book I was reading. I quickly put it away blushing while feeling like a total nerd for being caught reading in the library during lunch. Edward just raised an eyebrow at me, still not saying anything.

"Hi?" I said more like a question as I waited for him to say something.

"Is this where you always spend your lunches?" he asked looking around curiously as if he'd never been in here before.

I just nodded my head, still a bit too shocked to reply properly.

"You really need to learn how to have some fun..." he trailed off grimacing at all the books around him.

I frowned. "The library is fun," I said mostly trying to convince myself now.

He scoffed and then it was like a light-bulb went on as his eyes somewhat brightened up.

"Come with me," he said smirking as he walked out of the library. I followed him.

We walked quietly through the empty halls. All the students were in the cafeteria eating lunch. We eventually came outside to the parking lot and my curiosity peeked. Where did he want to go? Why were we out here? I furrowed my brows in confusion as he hopped onto his motorbike. He looked at me expectantly while I just stood there staring at him in confusion. Did he want to leave school property?

"Well?" he questioned a bit impatiently. This confused me even more.

"Well what?" I asked.

He rolled his eyes in annoyance. "What are you waiting for?" he asked and I was still confused. "Are you getting on or not?" he elaborated once he saw my expression.

My eyes widened in shock. Getting on? As in riding on the back of his motorbike? I can't do that! Yes you can. There's still 2 more periods till school ends. There's no way I'm skipping classes. Who cares. You're ahead. Plus Em and Ali would be worried about me. They'll get over it. And I can't just leave school with Edward. You know you want to. He's a bad influence and I shouldn't have followed him out here in the first place.

The sane part of my brain was trying to convince me not to go but the completely crazy side that wanted to do something different for once was telling me to go. To have fun. To be daring. I wanted to do something else besides read and study. but what if something bad happened? I'll get in trouble. I was brought up to follow the rules.

"I can't," I said quickly, averting my eyes from his gaze.

He scoffed and I'm pretty sure he rolled his eyes. "Typical," he turned on the engine. "Call me when you decide to get a life." he said as he revved his engine but didn't take off.

That was rude. It got me angry. I had a life. My life was interesting. I could have fun. I could have fun.

"Wait," I said in a firmer voice as I glared at nothing in particular. Feeling like a completely different person, I hopped onto the bike.

I saw a smirk spread across his face as he turned his head to the side.

"Hold on," he said as he revved the engine again.

I quickly wrapped my arms around Edwards waist as he stepped on the gas pedal. The air rushed past my face, making my hair splay behind me. It was probably going to look hideous by the time I got off. We were going so fast. I was never a fan of speed. I wrapped my arms around Edward's waist tighter and I tucked my head in as I closed my eyes. I tried not to think about the fact that I was touching Edward. I couldn't help but think about how close together we were as my heart bet rapidly and my cheeks were stained red. This was a dream. A horrendously wonderful dream. I couldn't believe this was actually happening to me.

A few minutes later I felt the bike come to a stop. My eyes were still closed and I was still a bit frozen in fear.

"You can let go now," Edward said and I swear I heard a smile in his voice.

I did as he said and let go of him as I climbed off the bike. I looked around at my surroundings and realized we were in front of a house. It was a fairly big house. Very modern style with a fountain and water feature in front of the entrance. There was one car parked in the driveway: a silver Volvo.

"Where are we?" I asked curiously and a bit fearful.

"My place," he said as he walked towards the Volvo.

My eyes widened in shock. Why were we here?

"Why did you bring me here?" I asked confused.

"We're just fetching my car so we can go to Port Angeles," he said as he got into the Volvo.

Port Angeles?! No way! That's too far. I'd get in trouble for sure.

I opened the passenger door hesitantly and looked at an impatient Edward waiting for me to get in.

"I can't go to Port Angeles," I said firmly.

He raised an eyebrow. "Get in the car," he said a bit annoyed.

"No." I aid not moving. My heart was beating a thousand miles per hour. There was no way I was going to risk getting in more trouble than I probably was in already.

He sighed exasperatedly. "Just get in the car." he said in a hard voice. He took a deep breath, "This is supposed to be fun, remember?" he tried convincing me.

I looked off into the distance debating my options. I could either go to Port Angeles with Edward, have lots of fun, and probably get hell from my family later. Or I could walk back to school and go back to my extremely boring life. Without having to think about it for a while I got in the car and closed the door. I wanted to have fun.

I saw Edward's small smirk as he drove off. He was forever smirking.

After 10 minutes of silence Edward finally said something.

"So, tell me about yourself," he said somewhat hesitantly.

I raised an eyebrow at him curiously. "What do you want to know?" I asked a bit cautiously.

He shrugged his shoulders not taking his eyes off the road in front of him. I guess anything goes...

"Well, I like reading," I said and he scoffed while rolling his eyes. "And music. I like music," I added quickly.

He cocked an eyebrow at me. "What kind of music do you listen to?" he asked curiously.

I shrugged. "Anything really," I said as I put on the radio and put it on my favourite station. A Thousand Years by Christina Perri was playing, already near the end of the song. I smiled. This was my favourite song. "Stuff like this..." I mumbled as the last few cords played.

"Seriously?" Edward asked scrunching up his nose. It looked kinda cute.

I nodded, not really caring what he thought.

He scoffed and opened the cabinet in front of me and pulled out a CD. He placed it in and the first song blared from the speakers. It was loud heavy metal. This type of music had never really appealed to me before.

"Now this is real music," he said bobbing his head to the music with a smile on his face.

I took a moment to just listen to the music. I guess it was kinda nice. I smiled slightly as I tapped my finger to the beat. By the 3rd song Edward and I were full on rocking out to the rock music.I was having so much fun that I didn't even notice when we arrived in Port Angeles. I did, however, notice when we stopped in a dark alleyway.

My curiosity peaked and I furrowed my brows. "Where are we?" I asked looking at the empty and dark alleyway. Despite being around 3 in the afternoon, it looked like it was almost nightfall.

Edward ignore my question and got out of the car waiting for me.

I got out hesitantly and followed Edward until I heard some soft music. It was similar to the heavy metal we had just been listening to. We arrived at a door that seemed to lead to where the music was coming from. There was a guy about Edwards age standing outside the door.

"Yo, what up man?" Edward greeted as him and the other guy bumped shoulders in a very guy-like manner.

"Its all good," the guy responded. He smelt of cigarettes and booze. At this time in the afternoon? Seriously?

"Who's this?" he looked me up and down, judging my body.

Edward looked at me for a moment. "This is Bella. She's cool," he said as if trying to convince his friend that I was alright to 'hang out' with.

He scoffed. "Bella?" he asked and let out a laugh. "What a lame name," I frowned at this."Is your full name Isabella?" he asked and I nodded. "Okay, Imma call you Izzy from now on." Did he just change my name?

"Izzy?" I asked grimacing slightly. He just nodded.

"Izzy..." Edward said thoughtful as he stared at me. He then smirked. "Welcome to the club, Izzy," Edward said as he opened the black door for me. My eyes widened at what I saw.

So, what you think? I made it extra long because I felt really bad. Next update on Saturday!

I'm sorry if it sucked.
