"Oh…" I whispered reaching to pick up the small square box. I was 98.7 percent positive it contained a ring. Oh no I though, looking with yearning at the offending box. I couldn't open it, I wouldn't open it! Suddenly, my hands were jerking open the container, letting its contents spill out into my hand.
"Oh..." I murmured yet again, gazing at the ring in my hand. It was gorgeous; white gold, spilt on a diagonal at the top to revel a flawless diamond. Tiny pieces of onyx dotted the band, intertwining with diamonds that grew smaller and smaller until it reached the rings base. It reminded me so much of him. I loved it. Taking deep breaths I slid the ring onto the appropriate finger. It just looked so right. I sighed. He planned this. He wanted it to seem right. Sighing again I reached to my CD player and slid in my new found CD, letting the sounds of my lullaby sooth me to sleep.
I awoke to a gray sky. Smiling at my good fortune, I glanced at the alarm clock. Crap! I was going to be late. Grabbing a pair of jeans and a flannel shirt, I ran down stairs, pulling them on with each step. Throwing down some milk from the carton I grabbed my bag and rushed from the house.
I was in such a hurry it wasn't until I was halfway down the driveway that I realized that a sleek silver car sat motionless on the tar. All feelings of anxiety rushed from me, making room for giddiness to take its place.
"Hello, Bella." a voice came from behind me.
"HOLY CRAP!! Edward!" I forgot he liked to do that. Trying to conceal a smirk on his too perfect face he opened the door for me. I watched as his smirk grew more pronounced.
"What?" I asked self-consciously.
"Nothing, did I mention you look exceptionally good today?" he asked, a too innocent look playing across his features. I stared at him suspiciously but decided to let it go. We drove to school in silence, but the grin never fully left Edward's features. I was nervous now. What did he have to be so happy about?
We reached school in plenty of time. I sighed, parting ways with Edward to make my way to trig.
"Hi Jess!" I said, trying to be sociable. She had never fully forgiven me for the whole port angles thing.
"Bella." She said curtly, looking away from me. So much for second chances I thought pulling out my trig book.
"OH, MY, GOD, BELLA!!!!!!!!!" Jess suddenly screamed. I turned to stare at her and followed her ecstatic gaze to my finger… CRAP.
Okay, I'm just going to put up what I have written. It's burning a whole in my pocket. R&R
