So sorry, I was so uber busy it's not even funny. I am exhausted at the moment, but writing another chapter for all the lovely readers:) Free Edward hugs for all the reviewers!!=D Here we go!
Disclaimer: Unless Stephanie Meyer decided to give it to me and I'm not aware, I don't own the Twilight saga. And if that was the case Jacob would be stuck in the sewers.
Bella's POV
I felt the color drain from my face as I read the words on the blackboard. Blood typing. I glanced quickly at Edward, and he was staring anxiously at me. He knows i have blood issues, I remember telling him.
Mr. Banner walked to the front and began the intro. "There is a blood drive coming up soon, and all of you will be donating blood. I don't care if the sight makes you want to throw up everything your stomach has ever touched, you're doing it. Now, you all must have done this before, so let's begin." I gulped and felt the sweat slide smoothly down my face. Then, it happened. Someone poked their finger, and the blood started to poor.
I closed my eyes, wishing the feeling would go away. "Mr. Banner! Bella's going to be sick!" The angelic voice was harsh in my ear.
"Very well, Edward. Take her to the nurse's office." I felt strong arms rap around me, hoisting me up so they were carrying me bridal style. I kept my eyes closed, even after we walked out of the room.
I did, however, have the strength to ask, "Why?" I peeked one eye open to see Edward looking throughly confused.
"Why what?"
I took a deep breath. "Why are you so infuriating? One minute your an ass, the next you are just... sweet. Why are you flirting with a nurse and telling me to go then helping me? I don't get you! And let me go!" I sounded like a three year old complaining about her friend's being mean. Only Edward and I aren't friends... are we? I don't think we have established that factor quite yet. However, I doubt now is the appropriate time for that particular conversation.
He chuckled lightly. "Well, first, no. And second, I am just as confused by you as you me. Even though if you really think, I'm not that hard to figure out."
"Well I am not giving up." I pouted.
He stared out into the rain with an unreadable expression. "I really wish you wouldn't.... any more theories?" Now, I know this may seem like a while, but the nurse's office is like a mile away from Mr. Banner's class. Our school is so spread out it's not even funny.
I smirked. "Vampire?"
He laughed, and gave me that smile that made my heart gush into a river. "No, not quite... But I am half werewolf." He added, winking. I chuckled at his joke, and I suddenly became aware of the rocking motion of his walk.
"Can we just sit down for a second?" I asked, glancing swiftly at a bench. He nodded and set me down. "You can go back to class, Edward. I just need to skip that whole blood typing thing, don't worry."
"Oh no," He argued, "I am not leaving you alone. You're as pale as a ghost. Which is even paler for you than normal... though not by much." I hit him playfully.
I was caught off guard as usual by his response. He was in pain, whether physical or mental I do not know. "Please, Bella. Don't hit me again."
I stared at him. "I'm sorry..." I whispered and he nodded and leaned his head back against the wall.
"Bella... There is so much you don't know about me; So much I wish I could tell you." He opened his eyes and he had a desperate expression. He needed to open up, about what I don't know.
"You can trust me..." I reassured him.
He gave me that desperately heart breaking look. "Can I...? If there is one thing I have learned it's that everyone turns on you eventually. I can't go through that again." A tear escaped from his eye. I took my thumb and whipped it from his cheek and rested it there. Who would have thought I would ever see Edward Mason cry? Not me.
He forced a smile. "I'm sorry. Another thing I have learned is not to show weakness." His voice was so soft it was just audible enough for me to hear.
"You can't keep things bottled up all the time. It's unhealthy." He nodded, but wouldn't let my hand stray away from his face. I could feel the electricity move from me to him and back.
Once again, Edward was being Edward. Mood swings are kinda his thing, if you haven't noticed. "What are you doing this weekend? Saturday?"
I couldn't help but grin. "I guess I am hanging out with someone by the name of Edward."
He nodded. "I want to show you something, but don't tell anyone."
"Promise." We just stared at each other for a moment longer, before the bell rang. He got up with that same expression and walked to his next class without saying a word.
I continued to sit there. Saturday was a day away; I can wait that long to spend a day with him. I stood up and walked to my tech class, greeted by Yogi Bear himself. "Bells!" He gave me a hug and we got right to work. Every time I would get focused, something would come up and remind me of Edward. "Okay, what's up?" He asked.
"Huh?" I asked, snapping out of my world.
He laughed. "My point exactly!"
I shrugged. "It's nothing, just thinking."
"Well duh," He rolled his eyes, "I would be worried if you weren't." The bell rang and we walked out to my car. We tend to park next to each other. Rose caame out, kissing Emmett, before the drove off. I followed suite, with thoughts full of the mysterious Mason.
Edward! What's he planning for Saturday? Any guesses? Review and tell me!
