Chapter 6: An Offer

Chapter 6: An Offer.

He took me to a wonderful place today. I didn't know why but when I opened my eyes, he was gone. He disappeared, just like that. I was quite bothered by the fact that he just left me here, without saying a word.

Oh. I've heard that his name was Edward Cullen. He was one of the best violinists around. I heard that his dad, Carlisle Cullen was once a great violin virtuoso. I got this information one time when my seatmate Jessica kept on gushing about him to her friend.

"Like, oh my God, I want to marry him" she said giggling. "He's perfect! I heard he'll be joining the competition this year. And his rivals are his siblings! They're all talented!" she squealed. I never really talked to Jessica but I was curious about Edward's siblings. "He has siblings?" I asked. She looked at me, surprised that I was actually talking to her. It took her a while to reply. "He does. There's Alice, who's a major in the flute, Rosalie on the clarinet, Jasper on the contrabass and Emmett on the trombone." "Wow" was all I could say.

I spotted him in the cafeteria. I decided to go up to him and ask why he left me in the meadow last time. "I need an explanation." I said. "What explanation do I owe you?" he asked as he made his way to his table. "Don't act like you don't know" I said starting to get a bit irritated. "How would I know when you won't tell me what explanation I owe you?" he said as we sat down on his table. "The Meadow. You just left me there." I said. "So? I just showed you the Meadow. I didn't have to be with you in there didn't I?" he replied looking annoyed.

"So why did you take me there?" I snapped. And with that, he didn't reply. He just sat there eating, like I said nothing. "Ugh. I can't believe you" I said angrily. "Okay." He said before I could even make a move to get away from his table. "If you want, I'll take you there again later, I promise to stay with you." He offered. His eyes were looking intensely at me. I felt quite conscious.

What does he expect? For me to say yes after he ditched me? Hah! I'm not that type of girl, Edward Cullen. Sure it was kind of him to offer that but I thought of rejecting it anyway.

"No Thanks." I said with a triumphant look on my face. "Fine. Then let's go to the movies this Saturday." He offered again.

What was this? Was he asking me out? No way. I started feeling nervous around him. "Hey, are you asking me out?" I asked trying to make it sound casual. "Yes." He said as he stood up and took his tray. As he walked away, I could only look at him with shock.
