Shit shit shit shit!!!!
Just my luck to be late on my first day. Shit! After spending the rest of my shift at the diner staring at the green eyed god I had to grab my stuff and head for school. My schedule was so tight that my shift ending at 9.30am left me only eight minutes to get to the subway, this unfortunately meant that I had to run which was extremely dangerous for someone like me, but luckily I only tripped twice. I just managed to squeeze on as the doors were closing. Class started in twenty minutes and sadly it took twenty minutes to get there, so for the rest of the journey I was impatiently tapping my foot and checking my watch every few seconds. When the doors finally opened at my stop I was straight out and running up the stairs, pushing past everyone in my path. I finally made it inside the building and began the search for the correct lecture hall. Just as I began losing patience I came across the correct door, a shiny gold plate attached indicating the room number. Without a seconds thought I pulled the door out of my way and ran in panting only to stop suddenly.
Why me? What did I ever do God?
Looking around I noticed the entire lecture hall staring at me, causing my face to heat up exponentially. I began to hear whispers and low chuckles. A low irritated voice made my head snap round with a painful click. I bit down on my bottom lip and raised my hand to my neck while squeaking out and inaudible "Ow!"
"May I help you? You seem to have stumbled into my class" the teacher glared at me, his voice laced with both sarcasm and irritation, causing another round of laughter from my audience.
Gulping loudly I reply. "I - I'm s-sorry sir. I'm Isabella Swan, I'm supposed to be in this class". By now my hands are shaking violently and my pulse is pounding. I look up and see Professor Clarks glaring at me for interrupting his lecture.
"Well Miss Swan I do not appreciate my students turning up late to my class but as this is the first day I am feeling lenient and will let it slide this once" I let out a sigh of relief. "But if you should make this an occurrence then I will immediately dismiss you from the lecture and any of my future class'. Is that understood?"
Great. Just great.
How the hell I was going to make sure I wasn't late again I had no idea. The only way I could think of was to catch a cab, but with what little money I already had it would cost way to much, there were no way's of changing my shifts and I couldn't afford to quit either. It is official - I'm screwed
I was snapped out of my thoughts by the teachers gruff voice. "If that is all Miss Swan could you please find a seat - I think you've taken up enough of my class' time" He abruptly turned back to the class and carried on with his lecture.
I hurried to find a seat as quickly as I could, praying to god not to let me trip and make even more of a fool of myself. I spotted a seat two rows from the back next to the aisle and quickly sat down sighing as I got my note pad and pen out, eager to catch up. I heard a quite throat clearing which made me turn to the person sitting next to me. My eyes immediately widened as I saw who it was. Tight grey shirt hugging his muscles, bright jade eyes pouring into mine and a mess of bronze hair. The green eyed god from the diner.
Oh fuck I can't breathe! Shit I need air!!
I watch as he picks up a piece of paper from his desk. "You can copy the notes I got down before you arrived if you'd like" he says with a beautifully crooked smile on his face as he passed me his notes.
Damn he has a nice voice!
I blushed as I took the paper from him and smiled. "Thank you, really, I honestly appreciate it" I told him sincerely.
His smile widened. "Any time" he raised his hand to me "I'm Edward by the way, Edward Cullen"
I took his hand, a sudden jolt almost like an electric current seemed to shoot up my arm at his touch. I looked down at his large pale hand wrapped around my smaller one, glancing back up at Edward our eyes meet, I notice that like mine his had glanced down at our hands. I inhaled a shaky breathe and replied. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Isabella Swan but everyone calls me Bella"
"It's nice to meet you to Bella" he smiled again, never braking eye contact. I forced myself to look away and concentrate on the lecture. I wasn't very successful. I kept glancing out of the corner of my eye at Edward unable to stop myself - I jut hoped he didn't notice.

After tearing myself away from the brown eyed beauty I made my way to my Volvo and headed to my first lecture. I got there with plenty of time to spare. The lecture hall was pretty empty with only a few students eagerly awaiting class to begin. I made my way to a seat near the aisle on one of the last rows, I hate sitting near the wall, surrounded by people with no way to get out. I'm not claustrophobic or anything I just like to make a quick and easy exit if needs be and not have to shimmy past everyone, trying not to stand on their feet.
Ten minutes later the teacher walked in and introduced himself to us as Professor Clarks and that we would be studying psychology, and then began to explain our syllabus for the semester. I don't know why I was so damn excited about this first class, only eight minutes in and I was already fighting to keep my eyelids open.
Just as I was losing my battle with my lids the door bangs open, a girl with long brown hair and pink cheeks runs in panting for air. All of a sudden she stops and looks around seemingly oblivious to the fact she had run into a class full of students. As she looked around I realized she looked familiar but I just couldn't place her, she looked down at her feet shyly and that's when it hit me. It's the girl from the diner! The fuckers around me were laughing at her.
"Oh my god! Look at her! Is she stupid or something? Who doesn't notice a room this big has people in it? Ha! Look she's gone all red! I wonder if the stupid cow will cry?" I turned and glared at the platinum blonde behind me. How dare she speak about my brown eyed girl like that!! The bitch noticed my glare and I don't know if something is wrong in her head but it looked like she thought I was coming on to her. With her left index finger she bites the end and with her right she twirls a piece of hair around and winks at me! Fucking winks at me!! I turned around in disgust and focus back at the scene taking place.
Brown eyes now had her right hand holding her neck as I hear the end of the conversation.
"If that is all Miss Swan could you please find a seat - I think you've taken up enough of my class' time" With that said he turned back to us and carried on where he left off I can only assume. I wasn't listening then and I'm certainly not listening now, brown eyes was walking up the aisle looking frantically for a place to sit. I have a seat next to me. I crossed my fingers and chanted please, please, please under my breath I know desperate and creepy right? Well fuck if I care if it actually works.
God must love me because she actually sat next to me - well more like collapsed on the chair next to me. I decided that I needed to talk to her, I needed to know something - everything about her, more than just her shyness or blush or her clumsiness. I wanted to know her favourite colour, her favourite food, places she has always wanted to visit, her name - fuck I don't even know her name!
I pluck up the courage and quietly clear my throat, just loud enough for her to hear. She turns round, her eyes widen and her cheeks turn pink again. I picked up the few notes I had jotted down. "You can copy the notes I got down before you arrived if you'd like" I smiled, hoping to relax her.
She smiled back. "Thank you, really, I honestly appreciate it"
Jesus Christ she's beautiful
"Any time" I tell her honestly, then I realized I haven't even told her my name yet "I'm Edward by the way, Edward Cullen" I offered her my hand hoping she takes it and doesn't just leave it dangling there. Luckily she takes it and saves me from a shit load of embarrassment. As soon as her skin meets mine something I can only describe as a spark shoots through my body and dulls to a pleasant warm, tingly feeling. Yeh I know I sound like a girl! So shoot me! I glanced down at our hands and was weirdly pleased by how big my hands looked in comparison to her dainty ones. She was perfectly petite. I looked back up at her eyes as she breathed out a shaky breathe. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Isabella Swan but everybody calls me Bella"
I released her hand, instantly missing the contact of her warm skin on mine and replied. "It's nice to meet you to Bella" Beautiful - quite literally.
Our attention was drawn back to class and I was forced to listen and take notes although every few minutes I would glance out of the corner of my eye at Bella, I swear I saw her looking at me at times also. I heaved a sigh when it was finally time for us to go. I began to gather my stuff and turned to Bella only to notice that she was hurriedly stuffing her things back in her messenger bag.
"Where's the fire?"
She turned to look at me. "Oh, um, I have to get to Jenson's my shift starts in fifteen minutes and I have to get to the subway before I miss my train or I'll be late for that as well"
Wait what? This girl has two jobs and still manages to go to school?
"Oh………I thought you worked at the diner? I saw you there this morning"
She looked up at my confused expression with a look that was a mixture between shyness, embarrassment, shame and sadness. I couldn't fathom why she would be feeling these emotions but it was obvious she was reluctant to tell me. "I do work at the diner, but I have other jobs as well, or there wouldn't be any way I could pay my bills, rent, and school fees. It's a rush to get between each but I manage" she smiled but it didn't reach her eyes.
Suddenly something she said hit me. "Wait other jobs as in you have more than one other than the diner"
She looked embarrassed again. "Um, yeh" she looked at her watch and muttered a few curses under her breathe. "Look I gotta go or I'm gonna be late, it was nice meeting you Edward"
I realised that if she left now I may never get a chance to speak to her again. Reaching out I grabbed her elbow, she looked up at me with wide eyes. "Hey I can give you a lift if you'd like, that is if you don't mind meeting my sister, she can be a little over bearing at times but she's harmless" I gave her my crooked smile.
"Uh, I don't know, I've only just met you," she bit her lip. "And I wouldn't want to put you out, I can easily get there myself"
"You wouldn't be putting me out, I wouldn't have offered if I didn't mean it." I looked into her eyes "It's no problem, really"
She seemed to contemplate this for a little longer while gnawing on her bottom lip. Eventually she looked up at me with a small, shy smile on her lips and said. "I f your sure you don't mind I would be very grateful." She glanced at her wrist watch and sighed. "It looks like I've missed my train anyhow, but if you don't want to take me then I'm sure I can find another way to get there" She looked up at me with wide eyes worry evident in their brown depth.
Smiling reassuringly at her I spoke. "Don't be silly, I'm more than willing to give you a lift anytime you need it" She looked both surprised and grateful by my statement. "Now come on we don't want you being late and besides my sister will most likely castrate me if I'm not there soon" She laughed lightly at that, probably thinking I was joking. In that case she's in for a shock.
We grabbed our stuff and made our way outside and to the parking lot where I could see my sister Alice impatiently tapping one of her tiny feet against the concrete. I noticed she abruptly stopped with the tapping and straightened up once she saw that I wasn't alone.
I reached the front of my car with Bella at my side. "Bella this is my baby sister Alice. Alice this is Bella" I didn't really know how to introduce Bella, for some reason it felt wrong calling her my friend, even though I didn't know anything about her I wanted to be more to her than just her friend.
