The story Twilight and its characters belong to the wonderful Stephenie Meyer.
Chapter 6: Apology Not Excepted (Sorry)
After lunch I walked to my Biology class purposely taking the long way there. I kept repeating "you can do this!" in my head. When I arrived at the classroom I felt a very unsettling feeling in my gut. Maybe it was because I found i'm in a fictional story and think i'm mentally insane and that freaked me out, maybe it's because I don't want to face a vampire that wants to eat me, I don't know i'm not a therapist. Either I kept walking by the classroom and passed it, after I was halfway down the hall I slowed to a stop. I have already made a plan for this. All I have to do is calm down and go to class stick to the plan and it will all be over. Plus I skip I would be in so much trouble.
I turned around and walked back to the classroom, taking deep calming breaths the whole way. Before I took a step in the classroom I fixed my posture a little more then usual and put on an emotionless mask. Then the bell rung so I walked to my seat taking as long as I usually would. Like their was no rush and Edward didn't intimidate me.
He was looking out the window when I got to our table. So I took my last chance to shake off what any unsettling feeling that I had lef,t which fueled my determination even more. I didn't take my time sliding my seat to the end of the table again but this time when I sat down both of my feet were underneath the table. I leaned my head on to my balled fist to face the opposite direction that he was in.
I focused on 's words as he started the class. He started talking about a lab assignment that we are gonna do.
"Um, hi." Edward spoke. An atomic bomb just went off inside of me. I took a silent deep breath through my nose and looked down. I took my pencil in my hand and started heading my paper.
handed us our slides. So I turned around to get started and Edward was looking at me with a strange expression.
"Hello-" He started to say but I cut off.
"You can look at the slides first, if you want." I said with a neutral facial expression.
"Alright." He said looking at me. I looked at the microscope with bored eyes expecting him to use it.
"I would like to first apologize for last week. I didn't get a chance to introduce myself." He said looking casual and cool.
"And." I said looking from the microscope to him with a bored expression.
His eyebrow twitched and he looked at me with an amused expression. Of course he did, a little girly girl like me snapping my teeth at a big bad vampire.
"And I would like to introduce myself now." He said with a little smile. "Your name is Jessica Jones right?" He asked actually pretending not to know.
"Like you don't know." I said folding my hands and looking forward.
His eyebrow raised and his mouth opened slightly. I slide the microscope over to him over to him and saw his mouth move as if he mumbled something. He looked at me from under his eyelashes before looking into the microscope.
Wow I never scene a guy do that with so much sex appeal. Wait what's wrong with me?! I mentally shook it off. You can fight it Jessica! I said cheering myself on.
"Are you enjoying the snow?" Edward asked. To stick to my demeanor I didn't want to give him an answer and yet I did.
"I guess." I said looking down at the table keeping it short and emotionless. I looked up at the microscope when he said the answer.
"Prophase." He said looking at me. "You wanna check."
"No." I said then writing down his answer. I already knew all of the answer but I didn't want him to know that. I looked at the microscope as he passed it over to me and I didn't want our hands to touch so I waited till he retracted his hand. I looked through the microscope for four seconds then retracted.
"Anaphase." I said then wrote it down. I didn't need to read Twilight to know that because I already learned this in my AP class in the ninth grade so I know most of what was about to teach to the rest of the class.
"Mind if I check." He said.
"Knock yourself out." I said blinking lazily to my right so I didn't look at him.
His eyebrow made a slight confused expression on his face.
"You're angry." He stated while starting to look through the microscope. I didn't answer. "So i'm correct." He said looking at me and I looked at the classroom's door.
"You're right it is anaphase." He said. "Are you angry about how I treated you last week?" He asked looking at me curiously. He's so sweet.
"How I feel is none of your business, Cullen. And who in their right mind would be bothered by something so insignificant." I said.
He looked at me with a look of interest and amusement on his face. What am I?! A puppy escaping her travel pin.
He is so mean! Here I am doing my best to be disliked and he, he's amused!
"Good point." He said.
We continued doing the rest of the assignment and were the first ones finished so Mr. Banner came over to us.
" Could you have let do some of the work?" He said to Edward.
"Jessica identified 3 of the 5 actually." Edward said to . Ever the gentlemen he didn't hold me to anything I said against him. looked at me.
"Did you do this lab before?" He asked me.
"No." I said looking at him. "I just have a very good memory when I pay attention especially when it involves images. I remembered the pictures from our textbooks that we studied last week." I continued.
Mr. Banner looked thoughtful. "You were supposed to be in my honers class weren't you?"He asked.
"Yes, but I was told it was full." I said.
"Yeah it is. You would've been great in that class." Rub salt in my wounds why don't you, I thought. "Well I guess this means you and wins the golden onion." He said walking to his desk to retrieve it and announce it to the rest of the class.
"So you like Science?" Edward asked.
I stared at a paper I was making detailed designs on and said "Stop talking to me." My hair masking the side of my face he was on I found it safe to smile at how civil he was being but I didn't let it show in my voice.
"All I wanted was to apologize." He said looking at me harder. Whoa... I just realized he can't read my mind! I looked at him and smirked. Oops...
"Why are you smiling?" He asked confused.
"I thought about never seeing you again." I said then my face turned neutral until I was able to hide behind my hair again. I gawked. I can't believe I just said that! Jasmine was right! I do have a slick mouth sometimes! I feel guilty now!
"Oh." He said. Did I just hear a laugh? I made my face as neutral as possible again before sitting up straight, i'm sure that time it wasn't as emotionless as before.
"You don't like me." It was more of a statement than a question. Either way I didn't answer. I just kept looking forward feeling really bad about what I had said. Being mean hurts. All I want is peace. I can tell by now that this act probably wont last long, but I hope long enough that I can just stay out of trouble till next year. I feel so guilty.
When the bell rung I walked fast towards the door. Leaving Edward with the golden onion that had been dropped at our table in the middle of my guilt fest. In the hallway I could feel eyes on me until I turned a corner into the next hallway.
A Month Later...
The weeks had passed by surprisingly uneventful. Edward didn't really try to talk to me that much before he left me alone with the questions I didn't answer. But he did stick to observing me all the time. But sometimes I looked at him while he was staring out the window. I might have not been rude all the time but I did keep my indifference which made Edward curious, irritated, and very intrigued. I could tell by his facial expressions.
Though we all know that things couldn't stay quiet for long. No because that would've been to easy.
Please review! I love to hear what people think! You'll gain the love of mermaid Edward if you do!
