Chapter 14
Mr Banner is talking about the biology practical we're doing today, after having finished his usual nagging about fixing our uniforms. How the length of out ties or whether we're wearing our blazer or not will impact our learning, I have never understood.
"You'll be dissecting the pig hearts like this," he tells us. As we stand around his desk while he cuts through the heart with a scalpel slowly. "I'll also ask you to identify certain things as I go around checking your work."
Behind me I can hear Jane whinging as usual, informing us all that she's not touching it, and Angela looks slightly pale, clearly uncomfortable. Edward who stands next to me nudges me and whispers "You alright Bella, not squeamish?"
I shake my head. Did he expect me just because I was a girl to faint or something at the slightest sight of blood? Personally I don't think that what's in front of us is worse than anything you might see in a butchers.
"Should I start or do you want to?"
"No, you go ahead."
"Ok, I'll start."
But before he grabs the scalpel to start dissecting the heart in front of us both, he runs his hand through his hair.
"You know my dad was really excited when I told him that we were doing today," he says softly.
Looking at his profile I can see a shy smile, meeting my gaze he explains. "He's a doctor."
"I know Edward," I answer softly. "I've seen him a couple of times at the hospital."
He looks surprise, "Oh."
"Is he proud then?" I ask. I want more of this seemingly non-arrogant and shy Edward. So different from what I mostly confront. And I can't help but wonder if this is what he's like with Tanya, if this is what she gets. She probably does, she is his girlfriend after all.
"I wouldn't say proud, bordering on ecstatic actually," he laughs.
"That's nice. So do you want to become doctor too?"
"I think so," he is all he says not elaborating further.
When we're finished Banner lets us know that he'll be photocopying some homework for us and that we should clear up while he's gone. After taking the tray with the heart away, I see Edward walking up to Emmet who's standing by a wide open window talking to someone down by the courtyard below. But he's practically shouting as our classroom is on the fourth floor. I go to get paper towels to dry our table, coming back I can see that Edward has opened the window by our table shouting down at whoever is below. Wetting one of the towels to clean up the blood which has spilled, noticing that the bins are full with rubbish I simply throw everything out of the large window.
"What the fuck was that!" Is the first thing that I hear, glancing out of the window. Suddenly all I can feel are two arms encircling my waist and pulling me forcefully down and away from the window, making me fall onto the floor.
"Bella, what the hell were you doing?" Edward is crouching down in front of me looking perplexed. "He could have seen you," he continues chastising me.
"Oh, umm..." I swallow not knowing what to say.
"It feel on his head." He then stands up holding his hand out helping me get up. He walks up to the window and discreetly looks out. Laughing softly he looks at me "It's some kid in year 9, he looks really pissed of as well."
"Oh God, I shouldn't have done that," I say thankful that I didn't get found out.
"Probably not," he answers looking amused.
For a moment he just looks at me, takes a step closer and I don't move I just let him come nearer me than he should. I can see that his eyes have darkened slightly now the colour of moss. The bell however goes off, breaking whatever spell Edward Cullen seems to have had on me in that instant.
