Chapter 9: Kisses & Cheerleading Pep Talks.
Edwards POV
It had been two days since the girls arrived home, and I was waiting for everyone to arrive for the period we all have free together.
I was sitting at the table, alone, waiting for Alice, Jasper, Rose, Emmett and Bella.
"Oh Eddie………." Lauren sang, kinda.
"Lauren" I said stiffly. She walked over and sat down in front of me.
"I missed you over the holidays" She said, then she looked down at her fingers in fake shyness, "I dreamt about you" she whispered.
WEIRD!
I didn't know how to reply to that, but I was saved by someone sliding their hands down my chest, their arms on my shoulders.
"Hello" she whispered in my ear.
"Get a life Bella" Lauren hissed.
How did she already know Bella?
Bella completely ignored her, and came and sat next to me, running her finger tips up and down my arm.
"I missed you" She whispered, looking up through her eyelashes.
"What part of get a life don't you understand… The get… or the life?" Lauren all but screamed, standing up by now.
"Personally" Bella began, holding my eyes with hers, "It's the 'a', I mean is it a word or a letter? It's like 'I'" Bella let my eyes go, looking toward Lauren before saying, "But you'd know all about that word, isn't it like your most used word?" Bella said, mock curiosity on her face.
"YOU LITLLE…" Lauren started to scream, but then Emmett walked over and said…
"Anyone giving you a hard time Bella" The look on Laurens face was priceless.
Everyone was scared of Emmett, of his size.
"Actually…" Bella said, turning her head in the direction of Lauren, who now was practically shaking with fear, however, her glaze landed on me, "Edwards been a bit mean"
Emmett started to playfully punch me.
"Ouch" I said, rubbing my arms for effect, "Why'd ya do that Bella?" I asked, with a pout.
"I'm sorry, here, let me say sorry" Bella said, leaning over towards me.
All of a sudden, her soft lips were against mine, sending tingles through my body. They stayed there for a couple of seconds, before pulling away, leaving my lips on fire.
That felt…
Weird.
But a good weird, a very, very good weird.
Bella walked over and sat on Emmett's lap, whilst I looked over at Alice, who was laughing, probably at my expression, Jasper with a smirk on his face, still sitting as far away from Alice as possible.
I looked back at Emmett and Bella, who were whispering to each other.
"Miss Alice!" someone screamed from behind me. I already knew who it was, without having to look…
Only one person at this school called people Miss…
Miss Mikaela.
I looked over to see Miss Mikaela, running over towards our table, Taylor, Alicia, Natalie and Shannon following, but walking.
"Oh no" Jasper mumbled.
"What?" Bella whispered.
"Those two talking is like Cheerleader Pep talking" Emmett answered Bella.
I turned my attention to Alice and Miss Mikaela. All I could understand were a lot of "OMG's", "I know's" and "Totally's".
Everyone else was silent, listening to what we could understand of their conversation, until Bella broke the silence…
"So… who is she?"
