Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT!
I'm sorry this is so short but I wanted to put something up and see if you guys are liking it so far
So far, the day has been average. It's lunchtime, and Edward has almost all of my classes. The three I've had so far, he's chosen to sit right next to me. The hardest to endure was last period in Biology, knowing I'd have to actually work with him all year. People have been staring at me all day too, and whispering non-stop. From first period, I've heard many rumors going around. Ranging from I being Edward's long lost cousin to being his 'Late night escort', all of them make no sense. The only one I've heard that is even remotely true would be that he's just trying annoy me. Boy is he doing a good job; I think I'm going to explode!
"Bella!" called a voice from behind me. I turned around to see Rosalie, Alice, and to my surprise Emmett, sitting at a table under a huge oak tree. How they managed to get the best seat out here, I have no idea.
"What's up?" I asked sitting down and sticking my fork into my mashed potatoes. Taking a bite, realization hit me: The food is edible. "Eureka!" I said. I expected them to be surprised, but they just gave me knowing, amused smiles. Apparently, I wasn't the only one surprised by the fact.
"So how are your classes?" Alice asked. I shrugged.
"There good. Other than the fact that I have Monsieur Annoyance in all but government and classical guitar, I think I'm going to like this school. They even let me take theater instead of English because I already read all the books!" I exclaimed loudly. I blushed as everyone looked over in my direction. It's not my fault that I happen to enjoy not having to take English…
"That's… good I suppose." Rosalie said looking down at her food. Okay…
"What wrong, Rosalie?" They all looked the same, like defeated and helpless puppies. What did I do? Did it come off like I was boasting and there're regretting befriending me? Oops—
"So much in common. Such a shame." I heard Alice mumble. I was really getting confused now. What the hell is she talking about?
"Nothing, we were just reminded of my dog…" She seemed to be searching for the right words. "He died last summer." She blurted out after a couple seconds.
"How did what I said remind you of him?" I asked.
"His name was Drama…?" Alice answered, but it sounded more like a question. Rosalie just nodded and smiled weakly. It was a fake sadness but I guess I'll just shrug it off. If it has anything to do with me, I could only hope they would tell me.
"Okay." I said shrugging. Well that was not confusing at all… An awkward silence came over us, Until Emmett, who I had totally forgotten was sitting with us, started a conversation about a new band called Metro Station. I just sat and nodded my head at the appropriate times and shook my head at others, only speaking when directly spoken to. I felt the shuffling of feet behind me but didn't even bother to turn around.
"Scoot." Said the annoyingly familiar velvet voice. I turned to see him pushing Rosalie away from me and sitting down next to me. I should have known he'd find a way to tear down my protection system. It was never really great in the first place though, now was it? "Hello, Sexy." He said after getting comfortable. Too bad, I wasn't comfortable at all!
"Hello." I said brusquely. "I was trying to eat before I was so rudely interrupted." I turned to smile-glare at him, while he smirked his cocky-ass smirk again.
"Well, by all means, continue." He said gesturing to my half eaten corn, chicken, and mashed potatoes. I picked up my fork and began to eat again. Everyone went back to their normal conversation, but Edward just stared at me. He licked his lips and I immediately put my fork down. I just totally lost my appetite. He laughed, and licked his lips again. I caught it mid lip, and held it staring at him. He smiled, and I thought that would be impossible with my holding his tongue.
"r-ooh-goner-pit-my-ton-dow?" He asked still grinning. I didn't understand a word but it sounded like 'Are you going to put my tongue down?'.
"I'm sorry what was that? I think you finally held your tongue. No wait… I had to do that for you!" I yelled in fake remembrance. I let go off his tongue and rested my head on my hand.
"I'm glad you did." Was all he said. His innuendos are starting to irritate me, if you haven't yet noticed.
"Keep thinking that way, Cullen. Your dreams are just going to get worse." I said taking a bite of the corn, that actually didn't taste like shit.
"I will." Was all he said again. His stupid five-word-or-less answers aren't helping his situation.
"I'm sure." See! Two can play at that game!...That was so childish, I don't even know where the hell that came from…
"What Edward wants, Edward gets… What Edward dreams… not so much." Alice said and Everyone started cracking up. Edward remained silent, with a scowl on his face. Mission Accomplished. Score two for the pretty people (other than Edward)! After sulking for a little longer he decided to play an active part in the conversation, which Rosalie so dumbly focused on shopping. Then Alice made the obtuse decision to talk about shopping in Victoria's Secret. Lastly, I made the mistake of blurting out that one time I did some crazy stuff with my friends there. Alice and Rose immediately jumped for details, and Emmett started laughing at the memory. I'm sure you already know what part of Edward was truly interested in the subject…. Need I say more, Really?
"Okay well Bella, Jake, Alex, and I were at the mall, aimlessly walking around." Emmett began. I noticed Edward frown slightly at Alex's name which just confuses me. Emmett looked toward me and made a glance that said 'let's take turns telling' and I nodded once to agree.
"So we were walking around, we ate at the food court. Then all of a sudden we stumble across Victoria's Secret… I distinctively remember Jake saying something along the lines of 'That store has three purposes. One: Attract girls Two: Attract guys when they see the girls. And Three: Give Nerdy guys some CREATIVE IMAGINE TIME'!" I said in a fake Jacob accent. Everyone was cracking up again and this time so was Edward. He was about to make a smart remark when Emmett cut him off.
"He said it so serious that we all were trying so hard not to laugh." Emmett said between guffaws.
"And then Alex, one of the more insane out of us all, came up with an idea." He looked toward me with a look urging me to continue the story from where he left off.
"We all decided to split the store into four sections –it was a fairly huge store- and see who could freak out the most people to their section." I said.
"Alex immediately went to the leopard department and got some lingerie. She dressed up like a mountain lion, and kept growling and pouncing on anything. I swear Alex has got extreme guts." Emmett added.
"Jake found some makeup and completely over did it. He ended up looking like a vampire on crack, because he jumped from rack to rack surprising woman and pretending to bite them. To be honest I think he was mocking vampires." I heard someone mumble 'that's so not cool' but shrugged it off.
"I decided to dress up in a pair of super-woman panties and do Elvis's pelvic thrusts. I was on fire!" Yelled Emmett. I swear I just saw Rosalie smile grow even more. "But none of us did as well as Bella. In fact she even attracted more people then scared them off!" He said again, chuckling darkly. Here we go…
"Okay so the first thing that popped into mind, was hell because that's what shopping is to me. Hell. So I went over to the red section and picked out a really slutty corset, with a thong. Embarrassed by my exposure, I decided to put something over my bottoms. I found a red floaty from the pool store next to V.S and put it around my waste so it covered most of my middle area and the sorry excuse for a cover for that area. I bought two pairs of horns from a costume store, One for my head and one I secured around my boobs. I found yellow ballet slippers and made my way to V.S. The minute I walked in people were staring at me like I was a freak. That reminded me of a certain Britney Spears song so I started to sing Do Something ." I said really fast. I took a deep breath to ready myself for the ridicule ahead. Emmett interrupted me though by starting to sing the song.
"I See you lookin' at me
Like I'm some kind of freak
Get up out of your seat
Why don't you do something!"
" I See you lookin' at me
Like I got what you need
Get up out of your seat
Why don't you do something!"
He sang loudly which caused another round of laughter. "Continue" he finally said to me after all the tittering stopped.
"So anyway I started to sing and dance. For whatever reason I was determined to win this stupid competition. So when I noticed I was only gathering people, I went up to the cashier and cursed him out. To my surprise he just sat there stunned. I continued to yell at him until a little boy cam up to me and popped my floaty." I said quietly, and everyone busted out laughing.
"She ran out like a bat out of hell!" Emmett said wiping away the tears that came from laughing so hard. I slapped his shoulder and he yelped abruptly.
"I wish I could've seen that." Edward said no longer laughing, and he sounded so serious. I started laughing again. He frowned at me.
" To have seen what? Me completely make a fool of myself? The people thought I was a freak, I doubt you'd want people to know that you even knew me!" I said laughing. I was surprised to find no one was laughing along.
"I wouldn't have mind to have that view, sexy." He said shrugging.
"Yeah, because who knows how much you've viewed other girls before. I'm glad you didn't view me."
"So, I'm sure my eyes wouldn't ache after seeing you."
"Really Bells, everyone in the store was drooling, even some of the girls." Emmett said seriously.
"Oh please! Give it up! I. AM. A. PLAIN. JAIN!" I shouted. "There's nothing magically cool to view about me. Edward is only chasing me because I don't lick the ground he walks on, or anything else that belongs to him for that matter. He's just trying to annoy the plain girl because he's a bored, hormone crazed, player that is extremely annoying!" I yelled, storming away from a very shocked table. All I ever really do is run away nowadays. Kind of cowardly… Who cares.
I do.
