At 6:30 in the morning the sound of my screeching alarm clock woke me up. I did my normal routine cleaned my room, cooked breakfast, so on so forth. Today I was a little late for school because Carmela made me sweep and wash the floor before I left. Apparently she had friends coming over for lunch break, and she didn't want the house to be "ugly" I bit back my tongue to comment that her presence already made the house appear that way. But of course I didn't say anything.
I decided today I was going to park farthest away from the silver Volvo. I decided it didn't matter if Edward Cullen liked me or not. I had my hopes up for tonight wishing my mystery boy would be there playing his piano. I knew I probably shouldn't have high hopes, because I was most likely going to end up disappointing myself with him not being there.
I walked to my locker to get my necessities for the first four periods of the day. I opened my locker up and confusion filled my face. My iPod was just there sitting on top of my books. It took me a moment to comprehend. The angelic voiced boy came to Forks high school. I tried to hide the smile that stretched across my face at this moment. I quickly erased it because it could have gotten there some other way… I didn't know how but again, I wasn't going to get my hopes up.
I walked into lunch and saw Edward sitting with Alice at their usual lunch table. To be honest, his face made my heart sink every time I looked at him. It was inevitable that he was breathtakingly beautiful. But unfortunately, he didn't have the beautiful personality to go along with that face, it was a shame really. I unconsciously stared at him while I made my way to the lunch table. And of course because I'm Bella, and even though I am a dancer and I am suppose to be graceful, I fell. And of course, because I'm Bella Tara, Tanya, and all there friends walked by me as soon as it happened. They didn't offer a hand, asked if I was okay, they just laughed. That was only to be expected though. I lifted myself up, my face bright red, and glanced at Edward's table to see if he was laughing as well. To my surprise he wasn't, but he had this strange look of concern in his eyes.
I walked into the chemistry room after lunch and saw Edward sitting at our table, I was going to say hi or something but I couldn't find the courage to do so. I sat down next to him, expecting him to be repulsed by me again, but he didn't he sat there content. I started to doodle on my notebook until the teacher started class.
"Hello" a familiar voice rang in my ears.
My head snapped up immediately and searched for the person who just spoke.
"I'm" he hesitated "Edward Cullen"
I turned my head, it was Edward Cullen. And he was talking to me. He was the person that the voice like velvet belonged to. A million different emotions ran through my veins. I couldn't even explain all the different thoughts going through my head. I composed my face to answer him.
"Edward" was all I could say. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
He nodded his head slowly like I was a complete moron…which I was…and said "Yes."
I spoke in a more whispered tone. "You. You are the boy from last night at the dance studio."
"That was me, yes." He answered.
I was relieved my mystery boy had a name. I was little upset as well, as beautiful as he was; I had a bad first impression from him. He had the look of repulsion coming from his eyes the first time he looked at me. Now the look in his eyes was frustration mixed with curiosity. And as I looked into his eyes I couldn't help but notice the change in color. The first time I had seen him they were jet black and filled with hate. Now they were gold and soft.
"Did you get contacts?" I asked curiously
He blinked and looked away.
He said "Um…yes" like he was unsure of his answer.
The teacher walked in and began his lecture. To keep my mind off of things I really paid attention, taking detailed notes listening to every word. Then a sudden thought came to my head. I ripped a corner off of a sheet of note book paper and wrote.
Thanks for the iPod.
I handed it to Edward. It was mostly an excuse to keep talking to him, but it wasn't obvious. He wrote back and said no problem. The bell rang, and before he ran out of the class I asked "Will you be at the studio tonight?"
"Who else will write my music?" He responded, which made me blush and smile a goofy smile. It was certainly a big difference from only two days ago.
When I got home from school, I noticed that Carmela and her co-workers had left a huge mess for me to clean up. I had to re-sweep and wash the floor, wash and dry the dishes, wipe down the table. Nothing unusual. After I was done with the kitchen I tidied up the living room and did the laundry. It was around 4:30 by the time I started my homework, I had a light load tonight and finished in time to cook dinner. Carmela came home earlier tonight and ate dinner with Tara and Tanya who were still talking about Lauren….and Edward. Carmela was encouraging them to pursue something with him. I had a strange feeling of jealousy when she said this. Then I buried that emotion deep down inside quickly.
I was impatient tonight, waiting for everyone to go to bed. I was excited to see Edward, but sad at the same time. Maybe the only reason he is going tonight is because he can write his music, maybe he doesn't want me as a friends. At least, that's what it seemed like the first time we met. The sudden thought made me unsure, but I needed to dance tonight, I had too much on my mind. So when I knew everyone was sleeping I made my way down to the ballet studio, this was most definitely going to be an interesting night.
