A/N: Happy Friday people. How was your week? Mine was busy but ok. I hope the weekend is the well deserved break that everyone needs. On with chapter 12.
Chapter 12
APOV
"Alright, Alice, what do you want to know?" Edward stood in front of me and looked at me as if he were in pain. I guess maybe he was because I threatened to destroy his precious car; technically I guess I never threatened, I just almost threw it against a bunch of trees.
"I want to know what happened today in class with Bella. Did you talk to her or did you just sit there? What did you talk about? Do you like her?" Edward wasn't looking at me until I finished the last question; it was as if it took him in shock. "What? Didn't you like my last question? You should have seen it in my thoughts ever since you got back."
"It wasn't that it took me by surprise but that I didn't actually think that you would ask me that out loud."
"I figured you were going to see it in my head anyway, I should just say it and get it out in the open." I paused for a second as I took in one of Edward's words. "Wait a second, surprise? Since when does Edward Cullen ever get surprised? What happened to reading it in people's thoughts?"
"I read the question in your thoughts, but didn't think that you would ask it. I thought that you would respect the privacy of my mind and love life that you wouldn't ask it. I guess I thought wrong." Another one of Edward's words took me by surprise; I guess it was a strange day for both of us if we are both being surprised by each other.
"Why should I respect the privacy of your mind when you never respect the privacy of my mind? Seriously, do you think that I like having my every single thought heard by my brother? Especially the ones about Jasper."
"I have to admit that the thoughts about Jasper are sometimes a little creepy for me to hear. Especially since I'm his brother and I am a guy. It might be cool if I was a girl, but I don't want to hear about how sexy Jasper is." There was an uncomfortable silence and I decided to bring the subject of him and Bella back up.
"So, Edward, what do you think about Bella?" I hoped that he would answer me truthfully and he did.
"I think that she is a very interesting person. She seems very mature for her age and is willing to sacrifice her happiness to make others happy. She doesn't see herself clearly, though. She thinks that she is the completely dull and boring person but she's not. She is a sweet, kind, caring and interesting person." There was another silence between us and I decided to bring up some of my original questions.
"It's obvious that you talked to her because you have a whole new opinion on her. She's not just the girl who is in your biology class that you can't stand; she's an actual person with feelings and interests. So what did you talk about that made you change your mind?"
"Well, first we said hi to each other; she seemed a little stunned that I had called her Bella, not Isabella as everyone else was calling her the first time they talked to her. Then we did a science lab together. We touched hands for a brief moment by accident and there was like an electric spark that went between us. We both seemed to jump when we felt it.
"When we finished the lab, she noticed that my eyes are now gold instead of black. I told her that she was just imagining things. How else was I supposed to explain that my eyes change color without telling her exactly why? Mr. Banner thought that we finished the lab too easily and came over to check on us. He murmured under his breath about how he thinks that Forks should have an advanced placement program for students like me and Bella. Then we talked about why she moved here and then class ended.
"I found out that the reason that she doesn't like snow is because it means that it's too cold for rain and because she doesn't like things that are cold or wet."
"Why did she come to Forks then?" If there was one description of Forks, it was cold and wet. For someone to come here and not like either of them was ridiculous. Why make yourself miserable?
"She came here so that her mother could be happy with her second husband instead of staying home to take care of her."
"So her mother basically kicked her out so that she had to come here." I hated people who did that; to send your child to somewhere where they didn't want to be just so that they could be happy themselves without thinking about what is best.
"No, Bella chose to come here willingly." I looked at him like he was crazy. Why would someone who would think of Forks as their own personal hell want to come here to live willingly? "She wanted to let her mother be happy. She moved here so that her mother could move around with her husband while he travels to play baseball.
"She is suffering on the inside with her decision to come here. I know this must seem like hell on earth to her, but I think that she would come to at least be able to tolerate it better than she is now if she would just give it a chance.
"After school she went into her truck, before you came outside, and I was watching her. She seemed to notice me watching her and she tried to get away as soon as possible. She took off a little two carelessly and almost demolished a Toyota Corolla. It was funny; she saw me laughing and I don't think she liked that too much."
When Edward stopped talking we both sat there happy; Edward happy that he was able to tolerate Bella's smell and me happy because Edward was finally falling in love. My big brother Edward was finally becoming truly happy and truly glad to go to school to see this girl, to see Bella. It's so cute to watch people fall in love, especially when they've waited a century for it.
A/N: So what did you think? Sorry if this chapter was a little sappy but it's the truth. Edward's falling in love with Bella and Alice is his number one supporter. Please review. Good Night.
