Super short outtake of the first time Edward and Bella met!
Today was the first day of the second semester of my freshman year in high school. We got all new classes and I was nervous because Rose wasn't in any of them. Currently I was sitting in biology waiting for the rest of the students to arrive and for the teacher to begin class.
I zoned out not really paying attention to who was in the class when I suddenly heard someone taking the seat next to me. I hadn't expected this as the teacher was letting us choose our own spots. First, I looked around the room and noticed that there were still plenty of empty seats left. Second, I looked over and saw that it was Edward Cullen who took the seat.
Edward Cullen was the freshman quarterback of the JV football team which is almost unheard of at Fork's High School. The position normally went to a sophomore. When I looked at his face he was smiling the crooked smile that I've heard girls swoon over.
"I'm Edward Cullen," he stated confidently while sticking his hand out for me to shake. I took it and gave him a weak handshake while shyly saying "Bella Swan."
"I know," he chuckled. "We were in the same English class last semester. You always seemed so…lonely."
"I'm not the most outgoing person," I explained to him.
We spent the rest of class talking and then he invited me to eat lunch with him. He assured me it would just be the two of us, so I agreed. This went on for several days until he asked me if I wanted to get hot chocolate with him one day at Starbucks as it was within walking distance of our houses.
I considered that our first date, however he considered the first time we ate lunch together to be the first.
It was really easy for us to begin our relationship as we lived next door to each other. I don't know why I had never talked to him before.
One Friday night his parents were going on a date so him and his brothers were home alone. I invited them over and that's when Rose and Emmett started talking. It took Alice and Jasper a bit longer but obviously they got there.
After that though, I walked into high school every day with Edward at my side and I wouldn't have it any other way.
