The weekend went fairly quickly and I got to know my new friends. I still did not feel I completely fit in, Jessica seem to be a little nervous with how Mike gives me attention and maybe a little fake in wanting to be my friend. Lauren did not seem to care for me one way or another, just puts up with me because Angela and Jessica befriended me. But Angela seems to be genuine and I enjoyed her company.
Who would have known, weird Bella Swan made friends and have guys interested in her, even if I weren't interested in the few that had shown interest in me.
I wake up way before the bell and get ready. I meet Jessica, Angela, and Lauren in the lobby. There were only 50 people in each grade, so we were in most of the same classes. Except biology, Angela and Jessica explained they had taken it this summer because they wanted to get it out of the way and take biology II, so next year when they are seniors they could also take some college classes. I had actually took a an Advance biology class freshman year which was in the honors program, at my old school, I would of opt out of taking Biology 1…but the rules did not apply here so I had to still take Biology 1.
Well we go to our first 3 classes they all go about the same, teacher explains the syllabus and the rules for about an hour. It was finally time for lunch, we all gather into the cafeteria, where we meet up with the boys, Ben, Eric, Mike, and Tyler.
I feel that I may tune out my new friends a little too much. I just was not interested in the latest gossip or whatever else they were talking about at the moment. I could not help glance at the corner two tables that had The Cullens and the Hales. Also a few other people set there that seem to be also pretty rich. Edward laughing as a girl with hair the shade of honey, who is equally beautiful, seems to tell him a joke.
I wonder if they may have some sort of romantic relationship. That surprised me that I actually felt a ping of jealously in the pit of my stomach. I have not even met the guy.
Finally I split from my friends to go to Biology class. I notice when I walked in there, everyone seem to be already pair up at the tables, the only seat open up was with…Edward.
My heart started beating a million times a second; I could not possibly sit by him. He probably figured out who I was because I am sure his sister explained their unfortunate extra roommate Bella, who is weird and clumsy. I had tripped over the cord to Rosalie's laptop going to my room a couple of days ago. She laughed at me, not sure what Alice did because I raced to my room because I was so embarrassed.
I take a deep breath and sit next to him. I do not look over at him, but I hear him let out a sigh, like he was annoyed or something. I nervously grip on to my notebook and wait for the teacher to come in, it was a minute pass 1, and he should be here now.
Finally a short stature man with glasses comes in the class almost dropping the handful of papers in his hands. He says, "Hey I am Mr. Molina." He then drops the papers on his desk and he writes it on the board in big letters.
He then talks about the syllabus before starting to teach. I open my notebook and start taking notes, I can see Edward keeps glancing over me and if looks could kill, his would.
What was his problem? I have done nothing to him for him to act like this. I finally get the guts to look at him straight in the eye and he looks at me but then instantly puts eyes back on the board. He was also sitting at the edge of the desk, so he can be as far from me as possible. I could feel tears fighting to come out but I hold them back.
"Hello miss." I look up and see Mr. Molina was looking right at me. I wonder how long he was trying to get my attention.
I say, "Huh." Could not think of an intelligent word to say, my emotions were too messed up.
"What is the most common element in the human body?" he asked me
I answer, "Oxygen, it makes up 65 percent in the body."
Mr. Molina smiles and says, "Very good, Bella."
He then goes on with his teaching.
Finally the bell rang and Edward seemed he could not get out of the class any quicker. I sigh and Mike comes up to my desk and smirks, "What did you say to Edward? He look pissed off during the whole class?"
I mumble walking out, "I did not do anything. I have never even talked to him…"
Mike puts a hand on my shoulder, "Do not let him bother you. He is a freak anyway."
I give him an appreciative smile even though for some odd reason I wanted to defend Edward but instead kept on walking. I go through the rest of my classes Edward was in most but set in the back on the opposite side of the room, I could not look at him without turning around.
Now it was time for the last class of today. The class I had dreaded, "PE"
I walk out of the dressing room in the white tee shirt and red shorts that was the uniform for PE. I see Edward, Alice, and a bunch of the others that were in his lunch group earlier. I do not make eye contact with them. I just wanted to get this day over with and lock myself in my room.
I manage to hit Mike in the head with the volleyball and I apologize a thousand of times and then Mike gratefully make sure he hits all the volleyballs that goes my way. Finally the horrible day was over with and I can head to my room and take a shower.
After I get out of the shower, I have two miss calls, one from my father and the other from my mother.
I call them both try sound like nothing was wrong. My father did not notice anything with my mood but my mom did and had to spend an hour convincing her that I was fine.
I get up finally and towel dry my hair and start brushing it and my phone rings, I grab and see Jacob's name pop up, I had no idea why he was calling, I roll my eyes and answer the phone, "Hello?"
Jacob says, "Hey Bells."
I say, "Hey Jake. What's up?"
"I just calling you because your dad told me you were going to The Meyers Academy, it is only a couple of hours from here right?"
I say, "Yep."
Jacob replies, "Be nice to have you closer."
I take an exaggerated breath, "Jake you do know I did not choose this school to be near you. I meant what I said in July. I just want to be friends."
Jake's tone of voice changed, "I do not even understand why you broke up with me? If it is because of what Paul told you about that me and that girl, is not true."
I say, "All we did was fight when I was in Forks this summer…I just think we have grown apart"
Jake sighs, "I wish you would change your mind…"
'
I say softly, "I do not think I am…"
Jake replies, I could tell he was hurt by his voice, "Well. I think I am going to go, bye Bells."
I say fighting the tears, "Bye Jake."
He then hangs up and I throw my phone on my bed. I was tired of this drama; I liked it better when it was just me. I did not have to worry about this crap. This was going to be a long semester and I know it.
Well I went through the Tuesday and Wednesday without making eye contact at Edward Cullen at all, it was beginning to feel like a routine.
Though Thursday was lab day and since we were partners we were going to have to do a project together. I was dreading Biology today. I sit down like I do everyday avoiding contact with Edward.
But today I hear him clear his throat and say, "Hey."
His voice made my heart skip and I think I may of swoon. But I had to compose myself, he has been an ass for the past three days and now he wants to talk to me?
I look at him, which was a mistake because I almost melted and I smiled when I said, "Hey."
Stupid hormones.
He smiles with his beautiful green eyes, "I am Edward. I am sorry I have not introduced myself."
I dart my eyes back to the board and mutter, "Yeah instead you have been giving me the death glare all week."
I glance at him and his beautiful lips turn into a line and say, "You notice that?"
I just nod and hear him say, "Sorry."
I say playing with my notebook, "I just do not understand why you would do that…I don't even know you."
Edward shrugs, "I just did not like you at first."
My heart drops at that answer, how could he not like me he has never met me.
I exclaimed, "How can you not like me? This is the first I have even talked to you."
Edward sighs, "Your dad and I are not the greatest of friends. And a friend of yours told me that he sent you here to spy on me, so he could bust me doing something illegal and get me kicked out."
I look at him shocked, "What? That is a lie! I only came here because my mom is traveling with her husband and my dad just got married and has a baby on the way and there was not room for me and my brother."
Edward nods, "I believe you now…"
I was annoyed and snap, "Maybe you should not assume and try to get to know someone before believing a stupid rumor."
Edward seem as if he was going to comment on that but class had started and we were the first to finish our project.
Edward whispers, "Look I am sorry Bella."
I do not know why I was surprised he knew my name. I fail and look at him and my heart beats rapidly once again.
I ask, "What have you done to get on my dad's bad side."
I figure he had been arrested a couple of times since my dad is the chief of police.
Edward sighs, "I speed a lot and get caught sometimes, and also he has busted a lot of parties we throw at my house, when my parents are gone."
I nod and say, "Oh."
The bell rings and I get up and say, "Well it was good talking to you and glad we could get that clear up."
I then get out as quick as possible because I had to remind myself he was way out of my league.
Mike catches up to me and says in neutral tone, "So I saw you talking to Edward…"
I can not believe Mike is jealous just what I needed but I sigh, "Yeah we had some misunderstanding…"
I then wonder if Mike was the one who told Edward that stupid rumor about me, I turn and look at him, "Do you know about anyone saying I was brought her to spy on Edward?"
Mike looks at me confused, "Nooo….Is that why you are here?"
I say instantly, "No! It is just someone told him that…that is why he has been giving me the cold shoulder the past three days…but it is totally untrue."
Mike shrugs, "It was not me. I do not talk to that freak."
I roll my eyes at his insult to Edward, he clearly is jealous of Edward.
I head to my other class and then finally it was time for P.E. Edward was already dress out and manages to look over at me and smile. I could not help but smile back, I was way too attracted to this guy. I was supposed to be still mad at him but it was hard to stay angry.
We played Volleyball again, Edward was team captain and he picked me to be on his team. Edward hit all the balls from flying at my face. I appreciated it. But I was still mad at him. Mike was on the other team and he was green with jealously.
After the game he gives me a crooked smile and says, "So since I have saved your life like thirty times within an hour, do you forgive me?"
I roll my eyes, "No…because in the process of saving my life…you won the game. So how do I know you were only trying to win the game and the only way to do so…is keep the balls from coming to me?"
Edward seems to ponder on what I said then replys, "Good assumption, but I could care less if I win a little P.E. match in Volleyball…now if this was Baseball…it would be a different story."
I shrug, I was not in the mood to be amuse, by the Greek God…his beauty will not intoxicate me into falling into his charming ways.
Edward could see I was not humored and sighs…he almost looked defeated, "Look Bella…I was an ass and I just wish you would forgive me…lets start off fresh."
I could tell he was being honest. He looked as if he really wanted me to accept his apology.
I sigh, "Fine I forgive you."
Edward looked pleased, "Thanks."
I say, "Well I need to go now, glad we could clear all this up."
I then brush past him to get my stuff and go to my room. I also got a whiff of him and even though he was dripping with sweat, he still smelled like heaven.
Edward calls out, "Cool. I will see you in class tomorrow…I guess."
I nod and wave before leaving the gym.
When I got up to my suite, Alice was sitting in the living area and she looks up and smiles at me, "Hey Bella."
I was surprised she actually acknowledge me, usually when I came in I may get a smile from her but usually her and Rosalie would be deep in conversation.
I say, "Hey."
Alice says, "How has been your day?"
I was still shock that she was striking up a conversation with me.
She was still looking at me waiting for an answer, I stuttered, "Um…good, how about you?"
Alice grins, "I had a good day. My brother mentions you a lot, you two are lab partners right?"
I nod, "Yeah we are..." What would he have to talk about, we have not even talked until today.
I was sweaty and probably reek, I smile at her, "I really need to take a shower…"
Alice was also still in her gym clothes and she giggles, "Yeah me too. I waited because I just wanted to talk to you, since you are my new roomie and we haven't even spoken to each other."
I smile, "Yeah, we should talk more."
Alice agrees and I head back to my room to take a shower.
After I was done showering I got dress in a teeshirt and jeans. I then did some homework.
I get a text from Angela, "Hey girl! We are all hanging out at the courtyard, if u wanna come."
I figure I did enough homework and brush my hair before heading out. As I was walking outside towards the courtyard someone grabs me by the shoulders and I scream.
I turn around and it was Emmett, I was trying to catch my breath, "Emmett you idiot."
He was holding his stomach because he was laughing so hard.
He finally catches his breath and say, "I am sorry sis but I just saw you and could not resist."
I roll my eyes, "What do you want?"
Emmett smiles, "I just have not talked to you lately. So I have seen you have made friends."
I nod, "Yeah, they are nice.."
Emmett ask, "How about your roommates."
I say, "I rarely talk to them but Alice Cullen seems nice, not so sure about Rosalie Hale."
Emmett nods, "Yeah I have their brothers….Edward and Jasper."
My heart jumps at Edward's name. I ask "So how are they?"
Emmett shrugs, "They are cool, and we joke around a lot, becoming good friends actually."
Of course he could make friends with anyone.
Emmett pats on the back, "Speaking of that…I am meeting them and their sisters to play some cards and stuff…"
He gives me a tight hug and says, "Bye Sis! I will see you later."
I say "bye" as he runs off.
I finally make it over the courtyard and meet up with everyone. Eric yells out, "Hey Bells! Are you ready for some capture the flag."
I shrugged, "I do not even know what that is…"
Everyone laughs and Angela says, "It is a game, its easy you can be on my team."
I agree and we get bases set and they end up sending me to try to get to the other side to get the flag. As I was trying to be as quiet as possible to try to get the flag, I see over at a picnic area Emmett, the Cullens, the Hales and the rest of their gang. I see that honey color hair girl sitting in Edwards lap. A felt huge ping of jealously come over me and I trip over a tree branch and fall. Someone heard me and Eric tags, "We got you. You have to come with me."
I look over when I get up and see Edward looking at me, my face turns red and I look away. I felt like an idiot. I hope he did not see me fall. I was already humiliated that I have a crush on a guy who is dating a Greek goddess. Eric has my hand and leads me over to the base. I really was not in the mood to play this stupid game anymore.
I was angry at Edward again because he can ruin my day so easily. He did not really do anything this time but having these unbelievable good looks and giving me that damn crooked smile earlier today that makes my heart do weird things. Now just one look of him with that Greek goddess has put me back into a bad mood.
"Stupid beautiful boy" I mutter to myself.
Eric raises an eyebrow, "What did you say."
I shake my head, "nothing."
A.N. Okay so this story is only in its first stages. More to come SOON!
Hope you enjoyed it so far.
