Bella woke up the next day still tired. She stayed up rather late reading the book Azrael had brought her and thanks that she had figured what the Cullen's were. Cold Ones. Vampires…..
She didn't mind that they weren't human or that they were vampires but the fact that Edward seemed some what obsessed with her creeped her out immensely.
Charlie was already gone so instead of cooking breakfast, Bella grabbed some pop tarts and hopped in her truck to go to school.
When she arrived at school all of the Cullen's were already there. She really didn't want to put up with Edward today. Bella was still pissed and embarrassed about last night. She parked than hopped out of the truck wearing her backpack while munching on her pop tart. Deciding to ignore them she headed straight towards school but her solitude didn't last long before Edward walked caught up with her and knocked her breakfast out of her hand.
"That's not healthy Bella. How about I buy you breakfast?" He said smiling
Bella turned on her heal to glare at him. She was glad most of the student had already gone inside. It was just her and the Cullen's in the parking lot.
"How fucking dare you even speak to me after what you did last night! You keep the fuck away from me or I'll have my father file a restraining order against you. I'm sure my friend would only be too happy to send me that picture of you trying to climb into my bedroom last night. That's all I would need to have you arrested as a sex offender!"
"YOU WHAT?!" Rosalie shouted walking up to Edward and slapping him across the face. "That's disgusting Edward!"
"I was only trying to make sure she was okay." He defended
"He's right Rose." Alice said skipping up happily than turning to Bella. "We were only worried."
"In that case you can also stay the hell away from me." Bella said before storming inside the school and to her first class.
Bella was seething. There was no excuse for his actions and how dare his sister try to stick up for him. Bella did need to remember to thank Rosalie though for what she did and said. There were no hard feelings from her when it came to the other Cullen's. Rosalie, Emmet and Jasper all looked pissed but what they had found out.
Still she wished her friend was here. Something about him made her feel safe. Important. She missed him already. "Azrael.." She whispered with a sigh thinking of him when suddenly her phone vibrated in her pocket.
Seeing that the teacher was facing the board and away from her, she reached in her pocket to check her texts.
'You called?' -Azrael-
How did he know?! Bella quickly looked out the windows and around the campus but she didn't see him anywhere.
'How did you know I said your name?' Bella replied quickly than glancing up once again to make sure the teacher was still turned around.
'I told you beauty. Call and I wall answer.'
'But I said it out loud. How could you tell?'
'Out loud? Aren't you in class?'
'yes…'
'Thinking of me while in school are you beauty? 😉'
Bella blushed while shoving her phone in the pocket of her hoodie. Just in time as the teacher had turned around carrying on his lecture.
She kept shaking her foot impatiently waiting for either the teacher to turn again or the bell to ring so that she could reply. She bit her lip and blushed thinking of his last message. Her phone vibrated again and she wanted to groan.
The bell finally rung and Bella raced out the classroom and to her next class. She was the first to sit down, the teacher not there yet so she pulled out her phone. Another text awaiting her causing her to smile.
'You're even more beautiful when you blush.'
Now she knew he had to be here somewhere.
'Where are you?'
'Look outside, in the trees.'
Her eyes looked out the window and darted around the tree line when a figure dressed in black caught her eyes. She smiled knowing it was him by his clothes and the glint of light from his cane.
'You look happy to see me' Another text sent to her phone said.
'I am.'
'What is wrong?'
'Just Edward has already irritated me today. I'm not looking forward to the class I have with him later.'
'He goes to school with you?'
'Yes, it's how I met him and his family. He has four other siblings that go here to.'
'I admit I don't like those numbers beauty… You must tell me if you ever feel in danger.'
'I don't want you to get hurt and besides it's only him and his sister Alice that's the problem. The other's don't seem too bad.'
'They can not hurt me so do not worry for me. There is only one item in this world that can kill me and I happen to have it hidden away where only I know it's location.'
Bella couldn't help but feel relieved. Still this was another clue…
She suddenly remembered that he said he was very old. Was he older than the Cullen's? They were all vampires so they must be pretty old. Than why do they go to school? Why was their eye's gold when the book said they should be red? Bella knew Azrael would answer any questions she had about the Cullen's but she also wanted to know more about him.
'How old are you?' She typed back but than the teacher walked in and class started.
When the bell rang again it was time for lunch. She could text him much easier now. She was amazed that she hadn't tripped on her run to the cafeteria. Bella grabbed a tray of food and quickly sat down at Angela's table. The girl wasn't there yet though. Bella took a bite of food and grabbed her phone once more.
'Hmm that's a question and I don't believe I have received any treats yet beauty.'
Bella smiled typing quickly. 'Tonight?'
Angela's tray hitting the table startled Bella causing her to jump in her seat.
The girl giggled. "Sorry Bella. You sure seem happy though. Who're you texting?"
"My new friend." Bella blushed.
"Mmm hmm." Angie giggled. "Is this friend a boy?"
Bella's face turned a shade of red it had never been before causing Angela to giggle more.
"Well I'm happy for you Bella. Does he go to school here? Where did you meet him?"
"I actually ran into him, literally." Bella sighed. "At Port Angeles. He's very nice. We've only been chatting mostly so far. He's not from here."
"Congrats Bella! Be sure to let me know how it goes. I'm just happy to see you smiling."
"Thanks Angie." Bella said giving her friend a hug when her phone buzzed and she rushed to read her new message causing Angela to smile.
'What time do you get out of school?'
'3'
'Your father?'
'He's working late. Won't be home until after dark.'
'Than if it's alright with you I would like to stay until he comes home. I do not trust the Cullen boy.'
'I would like that.'
'See you after school beauty'
Bella looked out the window after reading his message to see him wave before disappearing again.
The only question on her mind now… What should I bake for him?
