Chapter Two
Thank you all for your reviews! As promised, here is the next chapter of my drabble fic.
Edward Cullen was the guy that I'd had been pining for ever since I'd first caught a glimpse of his emerald eyes and unique, tousled bronze hair that first day of High School. He was Jasper's brother, only a few months younger than him, and I considered him to be the definition of hot, in fact, beyond it. It had been years since I'd seen him, but I'd never truly forgotten him. On every date that I'd gone on in the past, I'd always ended up comparing his looks and personality to my dates', and Edward always been much better than all of them.
The reason why nothing had ever happened between us was obvious, at least in my eyes. There were so many barriers between us, so many voids we couldn't fill, and most of them were based around my insecurities. For one, he'd never actually had a full conversation with me, we'd been partners in biology, but that was the only thing that we'd ever discussed, biology. Back then, I was way too shy to even contemplate changing the subject, and he was totally fixated on finishing his work each lesson that it was moot point anyway. Even if I had, he would have rejected me anyway, I was sure of it. Just because I'd never really talked to him, didn't mean that I knew nothing about him. Back then I worshiped the ground he walked, hung on every breath he took. I knew it wasn't healthy, but I couldn't deny that, that was what I was like back then.
I still remembered all those little trivial facts about him, like what bands he listened to, what instrument he played – the piano – what he wanted to be when he left school, and the list went on and on. I wouldn't be surprised if he did end up studying medicine; he got a higher grade average than anyone in the state, including the stress-head nerds at the front.
But none of that mattered now. We were both adults, and I would force myself to act as if I didn't remember him, as if his existence in high school meant nothing to me at all, as if there wasn't a day where his soulful emerald eyes invaded my mind.
I was such a liar.
Review and there will be another drabble chapter tomorrow :)
