This chapter is dedicated to everyone who has read and reviewed already.
Chapter 2
Last Time:
"Well I found him to be highly stimulating and intellectual." Edward said defending his political science professor
"You would. He is pompous and arrogant. Have you ever even read his book, Edward?" Bella questioned.
"What does that mean, Bella? It does not matter I have read his book I have met the man and that says far more than a book could ever say." Edward countered.
"Of course it matters what his book says. A man can lie and change what he says, books are solid he cannot go back on his words that are in black and white. Besides even if he does change is current stance, he still thought that at one point and has influenced thousands of people into his ridiculous point of view. Oh, and you can call me Isabella. I reserve Bella for my friends." And with that Bella turned her back and walked away.
Edward stood there in shock. No one had ever spoken to him like that before. Most people especially girls usually fall over themselves to agree with him, like Rosalie does, just to get on his good side. Bella, no Isabella intrigued him. She fascinated him. He shook his head to bring himself back to reality.
He and his group, Jasper and Rosalie left the party shortly after Bella and Alice left.
Edward left confused and captivated by this unusual girl. Bella left infuriated and frustrated with the arrogant prince. Rosalie went home feeling like she had made progress with Edward, she is convinced that they will be together. She just can't get the thought of being a princess out of her head. Both Alice and Jasper went home floating on cloud nine. They had fallen in love at first sight. It was completely obvious their attraction for each other.
"Can you believe it?"
"I know! I can't believe that we didn't hear about this before!"
"I bet one of us will be able to get his attention. I mean look at us. How could he not?"
Jessica and Lauren were talking very loudly in the hall, the next day, as Bella walked by rolling her eyes. "I can't believe how ridiculous everyone is being about this whole thing." Bella said to Alice as they walked to class.
"Well, it is kind of a big deal. I mean he is a prince. I mean, what are the chances that he would come here?" Alice said with a look in her eye.
"Oh no! Not you too." Bella cried.
Alice flushed, "No, Edward isn't really my type."
Bella knew something was up. "Wait, I should've seen it before."
Alice noticed Bella's calculating expression. "What?" She asked wearily.
"It's just all the signs were there, I just didn't see it before." Bella said more to herself than to anyone.
Alice's face flushed again but remained silent.
"Well, he'd be a fool not to fall for you." Bella stated.
"Who? What are you talking about?" Alice asked.
"Jasper of course. I mean it's obvious, I mean, who wouldn't fall for you?" Bella replied.
"Don't be ridiculous, Bella." Alice said, her face almost as red as a tomato. "Well, I have to go to class, I'll see you at lunch."
Bella laughed and agreed to meet her at lunch as they headed to their classes. In first period all anyone could talk about was the fact that Prince Edward was attending their school that year. All Bella did was roll her eyes and continue to read her book.
Bella was about to go crazy with everyone talking about Edward. What is everyone's problem? He is just some stuck up royal snob who is never even going to look at anyone in this school. I mean he probably has some girl waiting for him back home. Who cares anyway? It's not like he talks to anyone other than his friend Jasper anyway and he just stands their holding his nose up at everyone like he's judging them. Bella's thoughts went along these lines whenever she couldn't concentrate on her book or the teacher.
As she was rounding the corner to head to her locker before meeting Alice for lunch she ran into something hard. She was about to fall down when two hands reached out to steady her fall. When she regained her composer while apologizing, she looked up and noticed two pairs of green eyes just staring at her.
"Ugh, what is this guys problem? I apologized. I must have wrinkled his precious shirt."
After a moment of silence all he said was, "it's quite all right." Before walking away.
"What a jerk." Bella said to herself as she made her way to her locker. Bella was still irritated when she reached Alice at their table. Before even looking around she took out her lunch and started talking to Alice.
"I can't believe what a jerk. I mean it wasn't like it was just my fault; he was just at fault as I was. He had to audacity to forgive me for something that was just as much his fault as it was mine…." Bella trailed off when she looked up and noticed Jasper sitting right next to Alice both suppressing laughter.
XXXXXXXX
BELLA POV
I noticed Edward sitting there glaring at me. What a complete jerk!
"So how has your day been so far?" Alice asked.
"You know, how Mr. Johnson is, his literature class is so ridiculous. I mean he is still talking about the basics of Shakespeare. How are we supposed to delve into anything more meaningful when he is still talking about the basic formats?"
Alice just shrugged knowing that if she responded she wouldn't hear the end of it.
"Well, without the basics," a smooth deep voice cut in, "it would be difficult for one to fully comprehend literature especially Shakespeare without fully understanding the basic form and language."
I cannot believe this guy. I mean who does he think he is? Oh yeah, the prince. Whoopee do.
"For your information all of this basic information was covered in English last year, besides this is a literature class, it is supposed to be advanced." Bella replied trying to keep her frustration in check.
I did not have to wait long for his reply. "There may be people in the class who do not fully understand the basics and this Mr. Johnson, is probably more aware of the other students situations and level of understanding than you are."
Ugh! This guy is so full of his own…
"If the other students do not understand the basics, than maybe they shouldn't be in this class, there are other options to fulfill the credit. Why should the people who already know the basics of Shakespeare have to suffer?"
"What about the students who may not know about Shakespeare but still have the desire to learn?" Edward replied.
Right when I was about to respond I was saved by the bell dismissing us from lunch. I quickly packed up everything said a quick bye to Alice and headed to Biology.
A/N: I know that this is a short chapter, but I wanted to get something updated. Please keep in mind that these characters are out of character. Let me know what you think. Thanks.
