The story of Twilight was created by the wonderful Stephanie Meyer.
Chapter 28: Crushes in the Classroom
When we first walked into the classroom my mind was so wrapped around Edward I didn't notice the attention that our classmates were giving us. Heck they could have all been topless and I wouldn't have noticed. After Edward and I took our seats we kept glances at each other, a habit thatwe kept up well into the period. When I ever tried to stop I would just get this overwhelming desire to look at him again.
I rested my head against my left hand to force my head to face forward so I could at least attempt to concentrate on what was talking about. He pointed to different pictures of different types of turtles and islands on the board. Okay, we're clearly talking about turtles...and I still can't make since of a single word he is saying, but I could just tell that he was speaking prefect English. I withdrew my hand from on top of the table and leaned back into my chair. From the corner of my eye I could see Edward's outline which just made my desire to look at him fully even more prominent. It was his fault, the hold that he had on me was just to strong and distracted me every single minute. From the side of my eye I saw his head gently swing in my directions and that just flipped the switch in me to give up and look, so I did.
As soon as I faced him my eyes must have malfunctioned because all I could see was his darkened hazel eyes. Never has that color looked so wonderful then when it was in his eyes. He looked back at me in the same way I looked at him, if not he did it with more intensity. He gave me a smirk with his mauve colored lips and mine opened slightly while my eyes became halflided. My brain started to turn into goo when I thought about kissing his lips. Then I felt goosebumps rise from my upper and mid back to the sides of my arms. Without turning my head I looked towards the front of the classroom and took a deep breath as I realized it was just getting too hard to breathe.
As class went on had assigned us book work on what he had just talked to us about. Apparently we were learning about evolution and of course Edward had finished his work before I did. How the heck does evolution explain the perfection of vampires. They can't have children yet they're all strong,fast and beautiful. And I'm pretty sure the first vampires didn't mate with humans to pass on a certain genes because that would also add human characteristics to the vampire race which would make them weaker. I didn't really have time to get in debt with my thoughts because they were interrupted by Edward.
"So do you have any ideas to what you're going to do this weekend?" Edward asked me. I looked at at him with a thoughtful expression.
"I'll probably just stay home like I always do and relax and read about vampires." I said with a smirk and a raised eyebrow. Then he looked down at me intensely while giving me a half smile.
"Next weekend we could probably go out and do something together. That is if you're not to busy reading about vampires." He said the last part with dark humor. My chest thumped and my eyes had widened for a few seconds before I closed my textbook. Then I turned my head and looked at Edward. Did he just officially ask me out on a date?! It sounded like it but then again I could be delusional. I never had someone I actually liked ask me out for a date before. I don't know why but suddenly Edward pulled his eyebrows together and smiled at me.
"Jessica?" He said amused and I just realized that I had been staring at him with my mouth slightly gaping for a while. After I came to my senses I took a breath and lost control over the volume of my voice.
"Yes!" I said loud enough for the other table in front of us to hear. Two students that we're only familiar faces around the school turned around and face us with interest.
"Sorry." I whispered to them embarrassed. The girl gave me a nod before she let her gaze linger on Edward for a couple of seconds longer then necessary. Although that made uncomfortable I really couldn't blame her, if there was someone that anyone should find desirable it was Edward. However the boy with the brown hair that sat next to her didn't hide his interest in me at all and winked at me. I lifted my eyebrows and pressed my lips together and surprise before I turned my head back to Edward.
"Sorry about that." I said to Edward but then I saw that his eyes were burning a hole into the brown haired boys head. I was a little surprised but luckily a second later his attention was on me once again. I lifted an eyebrow at him before continuing our conversation even when a ball of nerves formed in my stomach from the effects of his question.
"So yes. I would really like to go out next week with you." I said. Smooth Jessica, real smooth. I thought sarcastically and mentally chided myself.
"Looking forward to it." He said and I had put my lip in between my teeth. Oh why doesn't he just take my heart it's already trying jump out of my chest and into his arms.
"But what are going to do?" I asked curiously.
"You leave that to me." He said.
"Okay." I responded with a smile is a nod."Do with me what you will." Oh God, stop embarrassing yourself! Not long after I had reprimanded myself the bell rang.
"All right guys! If you didn't finish the class work then finish it for homework! I will be collecting all papers Monday!" shouted to the class as people got to leave. I started to pack up my things to go but then I looked up at Edward who was giving me a curious expression.
"What is it?" I asked him curiously. Then he looked at the front of the class and smirked.
"It's nothing. I'll see you later." He said then he left the classroom. I scratched up my eyebrows and wondered what he was thinking.
When I got to the gym I noticed that our teacher wasn't present and no one was dressed in their P.E. clothing. I looked over the bleachers and saw Jessica and Mike sitting down and talking, so I went to ask them what was going on. I wanted to make sure that the coach wasn't there because he has never been absent before. I walked across the shiny wooden basketball court to get to the bleachers where Mike and Jess were sat at the end.
After I made it over to them Mike looked up at me and smiled which had gotten Jessica's attention. So she turned around and looked at me. Was it my imagination or did the smile that she had on her face when she turned around decrease a bit.
"Hey Jessica, hey Mike do you guys know where the coach is?" I asked them.
"He's not here today." Mike said then I nodded in understanding.
"Good I really don't feel like doing anything today. I'll see you guys later." I said turning around.
"Jessica, wait!" Mike said getting up from his seat and loosely grabbing me by my arm he let go quickly when I turned around. Then he looked down basketball court nonchalantly to mass how nervous he was.
"Yes?" I asked with a confused tone.
"About what happened in the cafeteria..." He started. His words had peaked my interest, what was he going to say about the little display of 'I thought that I had more influence in your life'.
"I'm sorry that I offended you I was just trying to look out for you a little. Um but I didn't mean it in Icontrolling way. But sorry." He said honestly and I smiled at him in appreciation.
"Thank you so much Mike for being honest with me. I did not expect you to ever say something like that. I really appreciate it. If all you were doing was just looking out for me and not trying to control my life all you had to do was talk to me about it I would have listened. Anyway i'm glad you have my back and as for the misunderstanding its water under the bridge." I said. Mike who looked happy surprised me again by slightly blushing, then he nodded to me and gave me a full on hug for a few seconds. My eyebrows were raised in the air and I give him an awkward pat on the back and looked at Jessica with a questionable gaze. Then I mouthed 'what' to her and she gave me a 'I don't know' look. Most likely she was just as surprised as I was. After Mike pulled back I gave him and Jessica a slight smile and an awkward wave.
"So I'll see you guys later." I said.
"Yeah see you." "See ya." They said. Then I turned around thinking that there was more than Mike and I thought...Even if it was a bit awkward to see it. I walked up the steps and away from them to a secluded area where there were about two students around.
After the late bell rang a Hispanic middle aged man in khaki and a white collar t-shirt came out from the teachers office that was located near the water fountains. He walked across the court and then stop right in front of the whole class that was seated onto the bleachers.
"Hello everyone! I'm and I am substituting for your teacher today! Now I don't care about what you do with your class time for all I ask is that you stay seated and when you speak to your friends use your inside voice!" He said. Then a large hand that was attached to a very long arm raised and Mr. Rodriguez looked at its owner.
"Yes sir?" The teacher called to him.
"Um, yeah. Why can't we play basketball?" The guy that I assume is on the basketball team asked.
"Yes, I don't have the key to the storage room that holds the equipment, sorry." He said before he walked casually back to the teacher's office and he left the door open so that he could watch us from the coach's desk. I just sat there for a moment before I pulled out my phone. I started looking up new pictures to draw and watercolor, but after a couple of minutes I got bored so I went on a comedy website called the oatmeal. The website had a bunch of quizzes and comics for me to read and do, so I did that up until the bell rang.
After I looked at all of the students that were rushing towards the door I calmly grabbed my book bag and picked it up. But who am I kidding as I made my way down the bleachers my heart started to swell because all that I could think about was that Edward would be waiting for me. After I stepped through the back door of the gymnasium my eyes squinted in surprise when the cold air hit my face when I exited the building. I am never going to get used to Forks whether. I scrunched up my eyebrows and held my nose between my fingers for a moment to warm them up. I walked to the edge of the concrete sidewalk to take the time to calm my nerves because I was going to be alone with Edwards again.
My eyes were drawn to towards the only silver volvo in the parking lot as I waited for the cars to pass so I could cross. When the cars cleared enough for me to walk I looked at the ground to watch my step but when I looked back up at the silver Volvo I saw Edward leaning against it as if he was there the whole time. I smiled and bit my lip as I kept my eyes on him and he was watching me with a pleased smirk on his face. Then not even a minute later I was in front of him.
"Hello Jessica." He said silky. I really needed to be careful his voice has such a seducing tone that takes my breath away and at this rate my legs might give out. I could feel the blush on my cheeks as I smiled up at him.
"Hey Edward." I said. Oh prefect timing to act shy. And you couldn't think of anything better to say? I nagged at myself.
"Ready?" Edward asked while looking down at me. I think that quite time in the gym really watered me down because I lost my ability to speak. I just sucked on my lower lip and nodded enthusiastically. Then he opened the door for me and watched me as I got into the car before he closed the door. I also watched him as he went around the car to get in himself and I don't know why but I allowed myself to let him make me feel special instead of awkward when he showed off his chivalry.
After we had left the school I wondered what he was thinking when he would sometimes look at me. The atmosphere was so intense but desirable and welcoming that made us so aware of each other. But we kept quiet and I just enjoyed the feeling of being around him. Unfortunately the car ride was over to soon for my liking and Edward had stopped the car right in front of my house. Then I looked over at him and him at me.
"I guess i'll see you Edward." I said to him and he gave me a smile.
"You will." He said with promise and my heard skipped a beat. I rubbed the fabric of my book bag with my fingers for a couple of seconds before I decided that it was now or never.
"Edward..." I started and he gave his full attention. I looked over at his handsome face and moved as close to him as I could then I put my cheek on his cold one and my mouth near his ear. Then I grabbed his hand and laced my fingers through his.
"I'm really happy that we are closer." I said before I slowly kissed the spot just below his ear lobe. Then I pulled back and looked at him and his eyes were darker and more intense than they had just been. I smiled at him before I opened my door and got out of the car. I made sure not to turn back and look at him on my way to the front door so that I wouldn't lose my nerve in front of him because my heart was already rapidly beating in my chest. After I opened my front door I turned around and waved to him and he gave me a wave back. And then I went inside my house and let my legs turn to jello. Now here I am on the floor and I had such a big grin on my face that my lips were hurting. I really hope that he calls my phone but even more I hope he drops by.
Hello to all of my wonderful readers! I hope that you have enjoyed this new chapter of The Deeds of Life! Please support me and review! Review! Review! Review! Reviews make me so happy and excited! Oh yes and I would like to answer a question in one of the reviews I had got. The reason why this story is so different from the usual fall into the Twilight universe is because this is me that is in the story and my family as well. My sister does have the disease Lupus and had problems in recent years where she had to go to the hospital for weeks with my mom. There is more details about what has happened to her but in real life I won't let myself feel depressed about it we have both learned that just have to persevere and whether it is alone long time or short amount of time things will get better. I was sick when I was a kid and she didn't get depressed about it and she cheered me up. And I make sure I can do the same for her and care for her, being depressed just makes things worst. And yes of course I tell her the things that I put in my story about her and she is okay with it. Even think about a boyfriend(she was less okay with that but still okay with that). So anyway it would be very hard for me to think of her getting even worse than she was before so that's why I will make her in really bad condition. But now she's doing really great.
