Bella's POV-
I hid behind Becca as the teacher picked the teams for whatever sport we were playing in gym. I hated gym. It was my ultimate downfall…
"Becca, don't let him see me!" I hissed at her.
She giggled and whispered back, "you're going to have to come out once I get put on a team you know."
"Don't remind me!" I groaned.
The stupid teacher heard the groan. "Ah, Ms. Swan! Nice to have you in Forks. Now, go over there." He pointed to the left side.
I nodded and prepared to face my doom. I walked over slowly, dragging my feet, as if it was going to make gym go by faster. I couldn't believe I would have to go through this every single school day for at least half a year. I sighed heavily. "Hey, Bella," said a voice.
My head shot up. It was Edward. "Hey, Edward."
He looked at me for a moment and then laughed slightly. "Gym isn't exactly your favorite thing in the world is it?"
"Not at all."
"It's not so bad," he encouraged.
I shook my head. "It's terrible for me. I'm the biggest klutz on the planet. Last year, I fell down and broke my arm. We were just playing catch."
Edward looked at me like I was crazy for a moment. "You are a klutz."
"Thanks," I said sarcastically.
"No offense or anything!" he added hastily. I smiled. "Oh, and don't let Emmett here that one…"
"Emmett?" I said, "Isn't he you and Alice's older brother?"
"Yep, and he is also the one that will laugh at you the most and never forget your embarrassing moments. Don't worry though, he finds new targets fast. It can be rather funny. One time when Becca was over at our house, she and Alice got into the chocolate. After two bags of candy and four candy bars later, Becca was a whole different person. She ended up sliding down the banister in her shorts and Alice's cut off top, all while singing some song that she'd learned for the talent show."
"Wow," I said. "Sounds…interesting."
"Extremely," Edward flashed me a big smile. "Emmett will never let her live that one down."
I looked up and over across the gym. I had to get my eyes off of Edward. Just looking at him made me feel…awkward. Yet, something about being around him made me feel oddly calm. It was strange and utterly stupid. Becca and Alice were smiling mischievously in Edward and mine's direction. I looked back at them, confused.
Then the whistle blew.
"Bella, do you want to come over to Alice's house after school? I am," Becca was talking to me as we sat down in our spots for language arts.
I shrugged. "Sure, but I'll have to call Charlie. I doubt he'll care, though."
Becca smiled. We sat in silence for a few moments before the teacher started to talk. I leaned my head down on my desk and began to feel slightly tired. I yawned and closed my eyes. No one would notice if I just rested for a few seconds. Then, I felt a little pat on my back. I opened my eyes and sat back up. Becca pointed the ground behind me. A little note was sitting there, so I reached down quickly and picked it up.
So, do you like Edward?
I almost choked on the air I was breathing. Wow, Becca cut to the point quickly.
No
I wrote the tiny word quickly and waited until the teacher wasn't looking. I reached my hand back like I was stretching and dropped the note on her desk. If I had thought for even one second that Becca was done with her questioning, I would've been wrong. I could hear her pen scratching across the paper. Soon enough a piece of paper had been flicked over my shoulder. I grabbed it right before it slid off the front of my desk.
You sure? I think he likes you. You two were hitting it off pretty well in gym today. Maybe there's a good future. :D
I grabbed my pen back up and wrote back quickly.
Haha. Doubtful. Even if I did like Edward, I doubt he'd like me. Isn't he like super popular or something?
I folded the paper up and gave it back to Becca. She gave it back to me only seconds later.
He's not as popular as Alice and me. Seriously, Bella, since you're friends with Alice and me, you are extremely popular.
I took in these words. Extremely popular? I had never been extremely popular before. Wait, no. I had never even been semi-popular before.
Another piece of paper landed on my desk.
Hey! I'm Jessica, you're Bella right? (Look to your left two seats over. That's me!) So, what are you Becca talking about? I hate that girl. Is she getting in your business? I can take care of her…
I almost died trying to hold back my laughter.
At the bottom of the note that Jessica had given me, I wrote something to Becca.
What's Jessica's deal?
I handed Jess's note back to Becca. She scribbled something down and then gave it back to me.
That girl has problems, Bell. And not just little problems. She has big problems. Lol.
Finally, the bell rang. Jessica was glaring daggers at Becca and me. However, Becca just stood there with a sweet smile. She even said good-bye to Jessica as we walked out.
