Chapter Four: Reading Thoughts And Racing Home.
Miss Ludlam being the 'kind' teacher she thinks she is let me sit wherever I wanted to. I glanced around the classroom until I locked eyes on the empty chair next to Jasper. I looked up and asked for his approval with my eyes. He gave me a grin and I skipped gracefully over to the empty chair next to him. Miss Ludlam decided to revise the Civil War. Not that she knew anything about it. Every statement she proposed, Jasper shook his head in disagreement.
She knows absolutely nothing about this war, I could teach better than this. In fact, I'd be the best person for it! After all, I was a Major in this battle so I know every detail. I swear she's making half of these facts up! Jasper's thoughts weren't too far off either. She was editing sentences she saw in a textbook.
After a tortureous hour of World History, I made my way over to Gym. I've never been a fan of Gym. Ever. I was a complete klutz when I was human, tripping over flat surfaces and hitting other people with bats when we were doing sports. Alice made my worse lesson quite enjoyable. Considering I have been a vampire for 100 years, I still haven't got use to being graceful and amazing at pratically everything. Especially sport.
As I was in the changing rooms getting dressed, I was suddenly nervous about French with Edward and meeting the Cullen's mum and dad. What if they didn't like me? What if I wasn't what Edward wanted in a girl? I felt my self esteem hit rock bottom. How could I even be with the Cullen's? They are perfection. I, on the otherhand am not. I have dark secrets. Things I've done I'm ashamed of. Powers that I've told no one about. Reasons that I'm afraid to go near people. I sighed. I'll never fit in anywhere. Maybe I'll meet the Cullens and then apologise and say I have to go. Run away and leave them the perfect vampires they are without me intruding and destroying their lives. Seems like a plan.
I opened the door to French with Mrs Goff.30 pairs of eyes were staring at me, including the gorgeous Edward Cullen's topaz pools of serenity. Mrs Goff made me stand at the front of class and introduce myself, I could tell we wouldn't EVER get on.
" Hello, I'm Bella Swan. I've recentley moved to Forks from Phoenix. I love to read, listen to music and draw."
I spoke with my calmest bell voice I could manage. It always puts people at ease and makes them like me more. All of a sudden, Edward Cullen stiffened in his seat and glared daggers at Mike Newton. I was the only one who noticed it but it seemed dramatic that Edward had come out of his perfect must be thinking about something that's annoying Edward. I quickly scanned Mike's thoughts as I made my over to sit next to Edward Cullen.
Damn. She is smoking hot. She's my type. And she likes everything I like. I'm going to ask her out after school. She'll say yes. I know it.
I was in disbelief. Was Edward jealous? I shook my head and sat down next to the most gorgeous boy I've ever seen. Mrs Goff started to ramble useless sentences in French so I turned my body towards Edward, it's now or never Bella. Talk to him, I screamed at myself.
I looked up to start conversation and noticed that he was already staring intently at me. If I could blush, I would be the shade of crimson.
" Hello, I'm Bella. Sorry I didn't really get to talk to you at lunch, I'm guessing your the infamous Edward Cullen." I teased glancing up at him.
He laughed exuberantly. It was just a perfect sound, I drowned with love at his vocal chords.
" It sounds like I have a reputation for myself, but yes. Your correct. Edward Cullen at your service." He spoke to me as a gentleman would speak to a lady. Brillant. He was charming, amazing, funny and now he was a gentleman. Anything else that could make me fall any harder for him. No Bella. Keep your distance. Remember what happened before. You can't hurt him like that. Keep this conversation friendly and light. Don't mess up! I decided to read his mind again.
Gosh, she's so beautiful. She's an angel, I swear. I will kill Mike Newton if he EVER thinks that about Bella again. She deserves better thoughts. Swoon. Her eyes. I could stare in them forever. And her voice. Sounds like the perfect bell. She's my personal angel from heaven.
I let in a quick gasp which didn't go unnoticed by Edward. He raised a eyebrow curiously but instead, I gave him my dazzling smile.
Wow. That smile. I can't even describe it. I wonder if I'll ever make her smile like that. I doubt it, she's so gorgeous. EDWARD! STOP IT! STOP FALLING FOR HER!
I giggled at this thoughts but quickly disguised it as a cough. He bought it.
" Is there something funny, Miss Swan? Would you care to repeat the last 5 sentences I just said?"
I quickly scanned her brain for the correct answer and spoke it in my best french accent. I sounded better than Mrs Goff. I gave a smug smile when her mouth gaped open but she quickly shut it.
" Well, glad your paying attention. But since of your 'attuide' towards me, you can sit at the front next to Mike Newton." Mrs Goff stated relishing her power as a teacher.
Edward had turned to look at me. He probably wanted to see my reaction.
" Mrs Goff. I've answered your question. I introduced myself. Do you want me to take over the French class aswell? I'd rather stay here, thank you."
Edward disguised his gorgeous laugh as a cough.
Dammit. She's beautiful, funny, honest, caring, bright, smart. This is my dream girl. Edward sighed as he thought this.
Mrs Goff opened her mouth to object but quickly snapped it shut when the bell went for the end of the day. In one fluid movement, I was stood up waiting for Edward. He too gracefully got up and we both made our way out of the door before Mrs Goff could object.
Her comical face was a picture.
Me and Edward cracked up laughing. The beautiful sounds merged together into a perfect symphony. I was overjoyous. I'd barely said 50 words to him and I already knew he was right for me. I was comformtable around him. He was my mate. Our laugh still continued as we made our way over the parking lot. We looked like a couple.
I've never seen Edward so happy in his life! Bella has made him alive! She's perfect for him! Alice thought.
Look at the lovebirds! GET A ROOM! Emmett's thoughts boomed.
Wow, I can feel the love pouring off Edward. I never seen him like this. EVER! Jasper contemplated.
Bella is officially in my good books. She is right for Edward. Rosalie thought.
Surprisingly Edward didn't stop to give any of them daggers. His thoughts agreed with them.
Their right. Edward smiled.
" Come on guys! I'd like to get home today?" Alice shouted, causing me and Edward to stop our laughing. We beamed at each other in a happy grin.
" Okay, okay. Lead the way and I'll follow behind in my scrap metal ride." I threw a fake annoyed look at Emmett and he let out booming laugh.
" Erm, Bella?" Alice suddenly asked nervously.
" What's up?" I asked.
" Well there's not much room in the Volvo with these massive guys, so I was wondering whether I could ride in your Porsche with you? I've always wanted a Porsche." Alice asked looking at me with such hope, it was unbelievable.
" Of course you can Alice, hop in!" After I said this, she gave me a massive grin that only a pixie could pull off.
I gave one last glance towards Edward who was looking slightly lost. His eyes smouldered in mine before giving me his famous crooked grin. I settled into the driver's side of the Porsche and turned on the engine. It purred and I let a proud smile wash over my face. Emmett wolf whistled at the car before turning to me.
" Race to our house, Swan. Whoever wins has to make the other one do whatever they want! Is it a deal?"
" Depends who's driving the Volvo, Emmett. Got to give the poor driver a head start before I beat them." Emmett let out a whooping laugh, followed by the rest of the family.
Someone coughed from the Volvo and I peered in the window to see who it was. Edward was at the wheel smiling.
" It's on Cullen. I would warn you though. My baby does go pretty fast!" I teased.
" THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!" Emmett let out. I rolled my eyes.
"Grow up Emmie!" The whole family apart from Emmett burst out laughing.
" YOUR ON, SWAN! 3, 2 , 1... GO!"
Luckily Alice knew a shortcut to the house and we quickly sped down a few motorways and country roads. I pulled up in the drive after only 10 minutes of racing, laughing and shouting the other team down. Moments later, the Volvo pulled up defeated. Me and Alice burst out laughing when we saw Emmett's pout, Jasper's brave face, Rosalie's impressed smile and Edward's frustrated frown.
"Told you Edward, can't beat my baby!" His face and eyes softened when I said his name.
She's got that boy love sick! Emmett chuckled at his 'private' joke.
I rolled my eyes and locked up my Porsche. I suddenly felt nervous. What if they didn't approve of me? I felt a calm wave wash over me and received a reassuring smile from Jasper. I breathed in a deep unnecessary breath and made me way gracefully over to the front door. I turned around and got a friendly smile off all the Cullens.
" MUM, DAD! WE'RE HOME AND WE BROUGHT A NEW FRIEND!" Emmett boomed opening the front door. Everyone knew that a vampire had super hearing and there was no need to shout but Emmett being the person he is decided to get as much attention drawn to himself as possible.
I rolled my eyes and chuckled.
I hoped they liked me..
