A/N Thought I'd try out Edward again, cos he's just so awesome... Yeah (;
Chapter 7 EPOV
School.
Personally, I often wander why the fuck we bother with it, and then I remember; Its the law.
I don't know why I even bother with the alarm clock, It's not like I need it to wake me up.
It was 6.00 am. I'd gotten back from my walk around half an hour ago.
My walk was interesting.
I discovered the mystery of the purple curtains at our chief's house; It was the new girl in town, Charlie's daughter Isabella.
It was the middle of the night and I'd been wondering aimlessly around the sleeping town of Forks.
The streets really were dark.
I thought back to the illuminated window I had seen just a moment before I'd decided to take a walk, and decided I'd go check it out.
It was a long walk- but really what the fuck else was I going to do at night?- and the walk took longer than it would take a normal person due to my sleep deprivation.
My mind was no longer what it really should have been for a 17 year old guy.
My brain was like a fuzzy haze, full of useless information that I would never need in life.
My steps slowed as I made my way towards Charlie's road.
What the fuck was I even doing here? Curiosity... that's what.
It was getting very misty outside, and if I wasn't cold before, I fucking was now.
I should have bought a flask of coffee or some stupid shit like that, I thought to myself bitterly.
Yeah this really wasn't what I had planned.
I finally made it to Charlie's place, and a glance at my watch told me it was a few minutes to 4.00 am, and I should really just turn back.
Sadly, the gossip in me- Yeah, that was the only way me and Alice could be alike sometimes- couldn't be forced to go straight home after coming this close to revealing the mystery of the Purple curtain pansy- Ha. I seriously was losing my mind-, and I made my way to the front of the small house.
Purple curtains: Check.
Light switched on: Check.
Girl looking out of the window...Wait what? I thought to myself, standing under the shade of a lamp post praying that this teenager- because it was obvious that's what she was- hadn't seen me peering into her home and mistaken me for a peeping tom.
The girl grabbed the curtain roughly, avoiding my gaze and closed them abruptly, before switching off the light.
How odd.
I tried to get the unfamiliar girl off of my mind, but she just kept finding her way back in.
Who was this girl?
And why the fuck wasn't she sleeping like the rest of this town?- I sure as hell didn't know, but I would make it my mission to find out.
Sighing I turned around and began the long trek towards my house, hoping that Emmett would have finished fucking that slut by the time I got back.
I made my way into the hallway of my house trying to be stealthy for the second time this morning.
I could hear distinct muffled groans and moans, but decided I didn't give a fuck.
I live here too, I thought to myself, making my way up the spiral staircase towards my room.
Once I finally made it to the solitude of my room, I opened the curtains, and ruffled my duvet cover; so as not to warn Carlisle about me staying awake.
It was 6 am so I decided to have a shower.
I didn't let the water warm up, and instead had an ice cold shower; they were really good at keeping me awake.
I wore a simple v neck Grey t-shirt and a pair of black skinny jeans which Alice had picked out for me to wear the previous night; After all it was Alice.
I went downstairs for breakfast.
My mother was sitting at the breakfast bench eating a bacon roll, so I went and sat opposite her.
As soon as I had sat down I immediately regretted it. She stared at me incredulously for about 10 seconds, before sighing and scowling simultaneously. "Edward... Don't you ever sleep! You look so tired." She whispered, fingering the skin beneath my eyes.
I laughed at her spot-on accusation. "Yeah, mom I do sleep. I just couldn't last night... all I could hear was Emmett" I chuckled darkly, before grabbing a banana and mumbling to my mother a quick "Tell the others I'm in the car, Kay?" and walking out of the front door, to save Carlisle from seeing the state I was currently in.
About 10 minutes later, Emmett and Jazz got into the car, leaving just Alice left. And I fucking swear to god, If she didn't get in the car within 5 minutes I would have dragged her by her little pixie hair.
But to my ultimate surprise Alice appeared in the doorway just seconds later, carrying all of her school books, and a banana just like me.
She skipped happily to the car, and opted for the seat beside mine.
She smiled brightly as she noticed my surprise. "Hey Edward, mom was just telling me that Chief Swan's daughter Isabella moved in with Charlie last week, and that she goes to our school, Isn't that great!" She chirped. Ah, New meat, I thought to myself, that's why she's so interested in this new girl.
Isabella.
I didn't like it.
I decided that if I ever met her I wouldn't call her Isabella, It seemed too much of a mouthful, I'd simply call her Bella.
Bella. I liked the way the name sounded, then I remembered something.
The purple curtains at Charlie's last night. It was Bella.
So I now know why she couldn't sleep last night, I thought bitterly; New school? I wouldn't have been able to sleep either.
So she was just like the rest of them then.
Remembering that I hadn't answered my pixie of a sister, I rolled my eyes in her direction and chuckled, mumbling "New meat".
Alice however didn't find the situation funny, and smacked me on the head, causing me to swerve into the middle of the school parking lot, narrowly missing a rather pissed looking Head teacher.
Ah, trust me to choose the day that he was on his 'Patrol'
Sighing, I pulled into the closest spot scowling at my younger sister.
"Damn you Alice." I whined, getting out of the car to go and face a Very annoyed Mr Madsen.
"I'm so sorry Sir, my younger sister was being a stupid sibling, and caused me to swerve" I said politely, in the monotonous voice I had specifically reserved for situations like this. Mr Madsen leveled me down with an extremely unpleasant glare. Ooh, your mother would be proud of that scowl sir, I noted sullenly.
"You can make this up to me in detention this lunchtime Mr Cullen, Oh, and Alice my dear, I'm sure it wasn't your fault." He said to her smiling brightly. The way he said this to her made me feel seriously uneasy; It was clear that he was blaming me for this incident.
God, what the fuck does this dude have against me! I asked myself, keeping the polite smile plastered on my face.
Great. Today was just gunna be fucking amazing.
