Disclaimer: I don't own these characters, or Twilight. Dang.
Btw: Starts off with Bella's point of view. oh, and Edward's POV doesn't begin with the first of the chapter.
Biology
I swallowed hard. I couldn't look away from those eyes. His eyes.
"Are you alright?" He said, his voice gentle and soft, like velvet. I nodded. He helped me up, pulling me to my feet.
When I was standing up, he let go of my arm and stepped slightly back.
"Thanks." I muttered, and looked down, peeking up at him. He smiled.
"Anytime." He said, and my heart fluttered. I looked up at him. "I'm Edward. We haven't really. . met. Your Alice's best friend, right?"
"Um. . oh, yeah, I am." I said, unable to look away from him. "um well, I should go, Alice is. . will be. . waiting. Thanks again." I stuttered, and he smiled, the corners of his mouth pulling up into a perfect crooked smile.
I turned toward the stairs, and starting walking down the long hall. I could feel him staring at me, watching me go. Breath in, Breath out, I thought to myself. I hurried down the stairs to where Alice was.
"Hey Bella. ." She said, when I stepped into the room, then her eyebrows knitted together. "Where did you go?"
I shrugged, looking down, hoping she would just drop it. She did, and went back to talking to Rosalie.
"I'm going to leave. I'm tired." I said to Alice, after a minute. She looked at me.
"It's nine-thirty." She said slowly.
I shrugged, so she said ok. I got my bag, and the clothes Alice had forced me to buy.
"Bye Bella." Alice called from the living room.
"Bye." I mumbled and left, hurrying to get out of the rain, and to my truck. When I climbed in, I turned up the heat and pulled out of the huge driveway.
The whole ride home I couldn't stop thinking about Edward.
When I got home, I opened the door and almost mechanically, hung up the keys. In the kitchen, Charlie was there, looking in the fridge. I could smell the lasagna from last night, heating up in the microwave. He turned when I walked in, and smiled.
"Hey Bells! Have fun at Alice's?" Charlie absolutely loves Alice.
"Uh, yeah, it was fun." I muttered. The microwave beeped then, and Charlie turned to pull out his food.
"I'm tired, night Charlie." He nodded, distracted, and I ran up the stairs to my room, closing the door quietly behind me. I kicked off my shoes, and dropped my bags, laying the bed.
I took a deep breath. I couldn't stop thinking about Edward. I could still see his bright green eyes, and his perfect crooked smile in my mind. I smiled, but then stopped, the corners of my mouth pulling down. I can't love him. He is Alice's brother. He is a senior. He doesn't even know me. I looked down at my fingers, twisting them together. Why did this have to happen to me? I leaned my head back and closed my eyes.
Eventually, I fell asleep, because the next morning I woke up in my clothes from last night. I hit the alarm clock and rolled back over. After a few minutes I got up and went to take my shower.
I got dressed, and made my way downstairs. Charlie was already at work, so I got myself a bowl of cereal, eating it slowly. Outside, a car honked, so I got up and rinsed the dish off, setting it in the sink.
I grabbed my plain black jacket on my way out, pulling up the hood before I stepped outside. It was raining slightly, but not pouring. Nonetheless, I hurried to Alice's car.
I stepped inside the warm car, and pulled down my hood.
"Hey Bella." Alice said, "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, why?" I said, but I knew what she was talking about. She was talking about how I was acting last night. I just hoped she hadn't noticed it was about Edward.
She shrugged, "You were acting weird last night, after you went upstairs." I looked down.
Thankfully, she dropped it, pulling out of my driveway. Neither of us said anything on the way to school.
Nothing too exiting happened that day at school. I walked to lunch with Alice, sitting down by her family, and Jasper and Rosalie. I couldn't see Edward anywhere.
After lunch, I had Biology, one of the only classes I had without Alice. I said goodbye to her and her family and headed to the classroom.
Not everyone was there, so I just sat down in my desk, in the back-center of the classroom.
"Hey Bella." Someone said, and I looked up to see Mike, sitting down next to me. Mike was my lab partner.
"Hi Mike." I said. I looked around, everyone was almost here now. The door opened again, and Edward walked in. I blushed and looked down, watching him out of the corner of one eye. He sat down a few seats away, in front of my desk.
Class started then, the bell rang loudly. The teacher, Mr. Banner stood up from his desk.
"Okay, class, today were changing lab partners. Everyone stand up and get your stuff." Mr. Banner said, and Mike groaned quietly, which made me feel uncomfortable.
I picked up my bag and stood up, waiting for my name to be called.
". . .Jessica Stanley and Mike Newton, Angela Weber and Erik Yorkie, Isabella Swan and Edward Cullen." I froze. I could see Edward going to sit down at his new table. Our new table. I slowly went and sat down.
He smiled at me, then looked away. This was going to be a long class.
"Okay, everyone sitting down? Good. Pull out your books, and turn to chapter 5."
Most of the class I couldn't think about much of what Mr. Banner was saying. I kept thinking about how Edward was sitting right next to me. Twice, his hand would brush mine, and my heart would splutter hyperactively. Once, his knee brushed against mine.
I tried not to stare at him, but of course, I did. He caught me one time, looking up at me at the exact time I was looking at me. And of course, I couldn't look away from his perfect green eyes.
The class was very long, when the bell rang at the end of the period, Edward smiled and left, not looking back. I looked down, then slowly gathered up my stuff and left.
EDWARD"S POV:
". . .Jessica Stanley and Mike Newton, Angela Weber and Erik Yorkie, Isabella Swan and. . " Oh, great. Now I have to watch Bella every day, sitting by another guy in this class. Another guy that completely loves her, and I have to watch her tell him she doesn't love him back. And I get to wonder who she does love. Great. ". . Edward Cullen." I froze. For a moment, I wasn't sure if this was any better than watching her ever day sit by Tyler Crowly, or Mike Newton, watch her turn them down.
I recollected myself and went to sit down. Hoping she wouldn't notice, I watched her expression. She looked confused, and something else, but I couldn't tell if she was horrified, or ecstatic. I almost laughed. Why would she be happy? There's no way she could be happy by having to sit by me. She probably thought nothing of me, I was her best friend's older brother. Ugh.
She came and sat down, setting her books on the table. I watched her hair fall down like a curtain as she leaned over to pull something out of her bag. She reached up and tucked the hair behind her ear.
She looked up at me abruptly, as if I had said her name. I smiled, unable to think of what else to do, then looked away.
The whole class I just watched her. I was curious. I couldn't tell what she was thinking, and it drove me crazy.
Mr. Banner told us to start our lab, and as I reached to close the book we were using, my hand brushed against hers softly. I continued to reach for the book, but I watched to see what she did. I looked sideways at her. She couldn't see me looking at her, she was looking down, and she had pulled her hand away, because both her hands folded in her lap. I closed the book, and mimicked what she was doing, folding my hands in my lap.
The rest of the class, I was aware of her the whole time, how her hand brushed mine, just like before. Once, her knee brushed mine, and I held my breath. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid.
Eventually the bell rang, and I smiled at her, then gathered up my things, and left. The rest of the day passed in a blur, before I knew it, I was walking to my car with Emmett.
"So, Eddie, talk to Bella today?" Emmett said, then ran off to the Volvo before I could hit him. I rolled my eyes for the benefit of Jasper, who was still walking with me. Jasper and Emmett knew, but thankfully Rosalie and Alice didn't. If Alice knew, so would Bella.
Jasper and I made it to my car, where Emmett was sitting in the back, grinning. I stepped in, and pulled out of the school parking lot.
So. . What did you think? I like this chapter, but mostly just cause of Edward's pov. Btw, did I do a good job on his pov? Also Btw, If you didn't figure out already (Cuz it never said it outright) Edward loves Bella.
Review, tell me if you like it or not!
