"Well I think I have a right to be angry at you." I murmured so low I thought he wouldn't be able to hear as I turned toward the school.
"You may have a reason to be angry at me but its no excuse to turn your back on me." He said loud enough for me to hear. Okay calm down Bella. Then I snapped, my control dissolved in my anger at the rude comment. "Bella, I-"
"Shush, I don't want to talk to you right now." I started walking to the school, it's a good thing I came a half hour early, I only had 10 minutes left until class started.
"I'm sorry, that was rude. I shouldn't have said that." He blurted out so quickly so I didn't have enough time to cover my ears.
"You should be," I said. Then regretted using that tone with him.
"Will you forgive my comment?" asked Edward.
"Yes." I said without thinking, I was so used to Renee apologizing for dragging me into one of her classes for art or fashion and then dropping out, even if I liked that class or whatever you want to call it.
"Thank you, I will earn your trust. Eventually." He told me mysteriously, was this guy crazy? Yes, crazy hot! Eww! How could I even think that? He was cute though. Edward, I cant believe I'm thinking this I just met you 25 minutes ago. I have to give you another chance. It was so weird, Like I wanted to be with him. My body wanted him.
I ran from him then before my mouth could betray me and say something about the upcoming dance…
"Hi! Are you-"
" Leave me alone for a while Edward." I turned to see an unfamiliar face. "Oh, I'm so sorry! I thought-"
"It's okay, My name is Mike. Are you Bella Swan?" Asked Mike.
Who else? The loch ness monster? Davy Jones? Sammy Sosa? Duh I'm Bella. I shouldn't take my frustration about Edward out on Mike. "Yeah, that's my name. Don't wear it out!" I replied stupidly. Mike bought my cheesy joke. He was giggling, it sounded real and fake at the same time. "How does everyone know my name around here?"
"Cause you're the police chief's daughter! Everyone's been waiting for you to show up again!" He answered like he had rehearsed answering that question. Weird.
"Oh," I muttered.
Mike watched me as I walked to the office. "Hello, can I help you?"
"Yes, I'm Isabella Swan"
"Yes, yes. Just have you teachers sign this slip." She said quickly, what better things did she have to do? Well, I couldn't blame her for being bored in such a small school, nothing ever happens. I stepped out of the warm office regretfully. Off to English, I silently sighed.
The school day was boring until lunch. I looked for Mike so I could sit next to him, he was the only one who'd said more than "Hi." and their name to me. NOT counting Edward Cullen. I bought a slice of pizza and a Coke, I wasn't really hungry. I was still nervous.
"Hey, Bella! Come sit over here!" Yes, I don't have to ask now!
"Uh, sure." I said so it sounded like I was doing him a favor.
"This is Eric, Angela, Tyler, and Lauren." Mike said as he pointed to each one individually.
"Hmm-Hmm!" A voice came from next to me.
"Sorry, I didn't see you. And Jessica." Mike finished.
"Thank you, Mike. So Bella who are you taking to the dance?" Asked Jessica.
I was looking at Edward for no particular reason. "Bella. Who are you taking to the dance?" Jessica repeated. Then Edward stiffened and looked towards me and I was caught. He was looking straight back at me. Edward smiled this gorgeous crooked smile.
