The Connection

Bellas POV

So it's my big day today, the start of my first day at college, the first day of hopefully having a decent conversation with Edward and making new friends.

Alice and Rosalie had to fight to straighten my hair which I have to say I prefer curly but arguing with them is like fighting a losing battle!

After spending hours on my hair Rosalie begged to do my make- up but I turned her down, I don't wear make-up. I decided to dress casual in a white long sleeved top that clung to my skin, black button up jacket, a pair of black jeans and white sneakers.

I looked at myself in the mirror; I looked presentable but definitely not pretty.

"Are you finished in there yet Bella?" Rosalie shouted.

Yes, I won't be a minute," I took a one last spin, grabbed my school bag and ran to the door and slammed it shut behind me.

"If you took any longer we were going to be late for sure," Alice moaned, raising her hands and flaffing them about everywhere. "You know I have to see Jasper this morning before Spanish class and times a ticking," she pointed to her watch and gave an expression that says 'move your asses.

First on my schedule was science my favourite and most interesting subject. I walked in the door and saw so many people talking and having a laugh, looks like the teacher is late, well I better go find a seat pronto.

I scanned the room for an empty seat and sure enough right at the back there were two empty chairs so I walked over, nearly tripping over someone's bag along the way and slumped into my seat and waited for the teacher to arrive.

A few minutes later a girl with black hair, black eyes, and a beaming smile that made her look really friendly. She must have been about 5ft 6 and looked about 15, really mature. She took three big strides and was across the room and standing next to me in a blink of an eye!

"Hey, my names Maryam Pasha," she extended a hand out to me and I shook it, very firm grip. "You must be new here, what's your name?"

"Bella Swan, pleased to meet you," I returned her nice gesture with a big smile; she smiled back exposing her white teeth which were covered by braces.

"Hmm Bella Swan huh, nice name, if you need any help just give me a shout, I sit across from you on that table over there," she pointed a finger over to a table with one empty seat which must be where she sits and next to her was a very loud girl also with braces, long brown hair and brown eyes. She was honestly crazy, talking to a group of people next to her saying 'it's a spermy, it's a spermy.'

Maryam saw my curious gaze at this strange girl. "Yeah that's Emma, Emma Porter, she's not all there but she's great to hang around with if you want a good laugh," Maryam pointed out.

"I might just do that some time," I gave a little smile and then looked away but who did I have to see walking into the classroom? Edward Cullen, Fuck!

"I have to go, talk to you later," and with that she left me to deal with Edward on my own, great. Well at least you got what you wanted, a chance to talk to him, oh shut up I told myself.

I just hope that he doesn't come and sit over here. I lifted my head up to get a glimpse of him; he was staring directly at me and smiling showing yet again his amazingly charming crooked smile. I had to look behind to see if he was looking at someone else but quickly realized that there was no one behind me, just a window so I quickly turned back round and returned the smile. He then started walking over to me and I was seriously tempted to shrivel up and die! He was closing up the gap between us in three massive strides until he was right by my side.

"Mind if I sit here?" Edward asked, handing me another one of his crooked smiles. I was completely dazed just looking at him!

"S…su…sure," I stuttered all over the place, see what he does to me.

"Thanks," he took one stride over to the chair, pulled it out and sat in it. Everything he does he seems to make it look so graceful and elegant. I sure need a lesson or two from him for PE!

"So, are you settling in ok?" He inquired, putting his elbow on the table, hand on cheek and giving me his full attention.

"Y…ye…yes," god I've got to stop sounding like a complete and utter monkey.

He just smiled at me, probably amused by my lack of speech.

I was suddenly pulled in by his eyes, pure gold, I couldn't stop staring. "Gold," I whispered still mesmerized by his eyes.

"I'm sorry what,' he looked confused.

"Your eyes," I was still transfixed to his eyes and whispering. "As bright as the sun and sparkling like the stars, I never noticed before. So unique."

I looked at him, he looked at me, and we couldn't take our eyes off of each other. I felt a pull, to be close to him, to touch his skin, feel his lips, but still I wanted to be closer, to have my body brush against his. I wanted him to touch me, to pull me close; I think he felt the same.

I heard the teacher walk in but didn't divert my eyes to look; they were still glued to Edwards's perfect face, his eyes staring deep into mine sending shivers down my spine! I barely heard the teacher say 'Take a look at the person sitting next to you; say hello to your new lab partner.'

There is definitely a connection between them, one that will continue to grow through out the next chapters.

I have put my two best friends in this story, Maryam is the only sane one and Emma is just plane crazy and yes she does go around saying it's a spermy, it's a spermy! Crazy huh? Watch the love blossom even more in the coming chapters.
