EDWARD POV
As I was mingling, girls were latching themselves onto my arms asking me to dance and giving me compliments on what I was wearing. It was getting rather old if you asked me, but like mother always advised me before she passed away, "How could you live your life, if no one was watching?"
I always listened with great interest to everything my mother told me, she was a wise woman, and I loved her with all my heart. She died of lung cancer when I was 15. That was two years ago, and ever since I have been living with my best friend and practical brother, Noah Calhoun.
Ever since I can remember, me and Noah have always been the center of attention. Of course, we used to love it, but now, for me, it's getting boring. Like a cycle.
Everyday, we go to school, then we get attacked in the hallways by almost the entire female population of Kettle Falls, Washington, which is about 1,424 people total. Small, I know. (pictures of kettle falls (lol) on profile! Look at pretty much everything under "kettle falls" '))
We usually hear comments like, "O.M.G. Edward looks sooo hot today, I just cant wait to be the first Mrs. Masen! EEK!" or, "Oh My God, Becky, look at Noah's butt, it's like so perfect!". Annoying? I know!
Back to the here and now, I am currently running, yes running, to the punch table, trying to escape snobby teenage girls, A.K.A. vultures.
God, when did the female population get so annoying and needy. It's just the teenagers though, really. Noah's mom is just fine with me around....
YES! Safety at last! I got to the punch with only minor tears in my jacket and pants from the vultures.
I was looking around for the punch bowl, only to be met with the deepest chocolate colored eyes I have ever seen. These eyes were so deep and mesmorising I didn't even notice their beautiful owner of the eyes until I broke our gaze. She was beautiful. The most beautiful girl I have ever seen, and she wasn't even looking at me any more.
She was wearing a deep blue gown that had a low neck line, but for once, I didn't care about that, I went back to looking into her stunning eyes. They were just as georgous as the rest of her.
As deep as her eyes were, they held no emotion. I only had one question for that: Why? Yeah, Noah always tells me I am too curious for my own good, but why would this beautiful girl, whom I have never seen before (I would remember such beauty), hide her emotions? Which brings me to yet, another question: Who is this girl?
I decided to introduce myself.
"Hello, I'm Edward Masen." I said, politely sticking my hand out for her to shake. She looked at it hesitantly before answering in the most angelic voice I have ever heard.
"Bella." She finally grabbed my hand, and as she did, an intence shock ran through me. I looked at our hands oddly, but she cringed away after ripping her hand from mine. I looked back up at her.
"I haven't seen you before, are you crashing?" I asked with a smirk, she just sighed and looked down at her feet. Oh, how I wanted to pull her chin up so she would look at me.
"No, I go to Victoria James, I am in your Biology class....." she looked up at me, sad. I was shocked. How could I have not notice her?! Well, I felt like a douche bag.
"Oh," I said akwardly, "I'm sorry, I never noticed." I gave her an apologetic smile. She gave me a small smile back.
"S'kay, nobody does." with that, she walked away. I sat there, shocked. How could no one not notice her...?
I started walking towards her retreating back, which was just as pretty as the front, when I stepped on something. I looked down and it was an...Oreo??? I followed the Oreo crumbs and saw Emmett, a guy on the football team, with a mountain of Oreo's on his lap and his mouth stuffed full. Well, he's done stranger things.
I coaght up to her, and grabbed her arm gently from behind, the same electrical current went through my hand, it's foolish to say, but I was almost expecting the light to flicker a bit. She gasped and turned around quickly, her eyes filled with terror. I quickly let go.
"Are you okay?" I asked, worried that I might have hurt her by accident.
"Fine. I- I'm fine..." she mumbled.
BELLA'S POV
I don't mean to jump or gasp or get afraid every time this beauiful creature touched me, I just don't like men touching me, it brings back memories...
As for Edward, he was much more handsome up close, georgous even. His voice was like velvet, and his touch was gentle, though he's only touched me twice, but each time, it felt as if i was being zapped by one of those bug zappers.....Don't mock me and my odd analogies...
He asked me if I was okay, and I stuttered like the idiot I am. He probably thinks I am a psyco. Maybe mentally unstable, or some shit like that.
"Are you sure? You look kind of scared..." He asked hesitantly. Damn, I was usually good about hiding what I am feeling, like a mask.
"Yes," I said rather rudely, then I felt bad for making him look sad, "I'm sorry. Bad day?" I might be good at putting up a mask, but I am a terrible liar. He didn't for one second look like he believed what just came out of my mouth.
"Mhmm," he mumbled, looking at me curiously, "would you like to dance?" he asked, suddenly hesitant again. Uh oh. Dancing involves touching, I don't do well with touching.
Why does he suddenly notice me? Why is he talking to me now, when I see him almost everyday? What is different about tonight?
While I was thinking about these questions, I didn't notice it at first, but his face slowly got sadder, and only now did I notice that it was because I still hadn't answered. So now he had me feeling guilty that I had caused his beautiful face to twist with sadness. So I made the 'not-so-smart- bella!' desicion.
"Sure. Yeah, I'll dance." He hesitantly reached to grab my hand, and I only cringed a little when he grabbed it because I saw him going for it.
He led me to the dance floor, and to the center, and that was when I remembered, I had no idea how to dance. I panicked, and didn't bother to cover it up.
"What's wrong?" Edward asked, worriedly.
"Umm, Edward?" he smiled when I said his name? "I don't know how to dance..." I think that was the longest sentence I have said this entire night.
"You'll be fine," he assured me, "it's all about the leading."
With that, he grabbed my waist hesitantly (I think he understood now, I don't like being touched) and I hesitantly out my arms around his neck. Hmmm, he had a strong feeling neck. Is that even possible? Strong shoulders too..... WHAT is wrong with me???
Just as my hands got behind his head, the song started to play. I could tell automatically what song it was. It was one of my favorites.
When we drive
in your car
I like where we are
here......
cuz our lips can touch
and our cheeks can touch
our lips can touch
here...
When you are the one, the one who lies close to me
who whispers 'hello, I miss you quite terribly'
i fell in love, in love with you suddenly
Now there's no place I could be but here in your arms
Me and Edward never stopped gazing at eachother. it never felt awkward, and he was right, it was all in the leading. I was dancing! It was weird to admit, but I felt really comfortable with Edward.
...Not that I would admit that to anyone...
