I'm sorry for the late update but I'll try my best to update faster.
Also, Bella's outfit that she wore for her first day in chapter three is now posted on my profile.
Second Day
BPOV:
The next day I felt overly excited to see Edward again.
I just met him and yet I'm getting excited about seeing Edward again at school. I mean he's really easy to talk to and I have to that he's pretty attractive.
When Alice and I got to the cafeteria table I was glad to see Edward there since I was excited to see him again and I needed someone to talk to since everybody else were in the own little worlds.
When he saw me approaching the table, he smiled and said a "hey".
I sat down next to him with a "hey" and a "good morning".
"So you know how we didn't get to finish our game of 20 questions yesterday. Well last night I thought up some more questions that could be answered." He told me.
"Okay. Shoot."
"Why'd you move to Seattle?"
"Well my mom remarried so I moved here to be closer to Emmett and my dad to give her the chance to travel with Phil. Plus, I really missed Emmett and dad so I decided to come to Seattle even though I'm at a boarding school and won't see my dad much, but I don't mind it won't be much of a difference if I didn't come since he's always working."
"Well I'm definitely glad that you came here. So, do you like it so far?"
"Yep! I told you that you made my first day here great, Edward. The only thing that ruined my day yesterday was slutty and sluttier."
"Okay, well the bell's about to ring so I'll ask one more question, can I walk you to class?"
"Of course you can Edward."
We got up and dumped are trash in the garbage cans and headed to class. As we walked towards my first class we still continued to talk on the way.
"So I guess you don't have much to catch up on since you came a week after school started." He said to start up a conversation.
"Yeah I'm glad for that. It means less work for me to do."
"That is a good thing and you can also focus more on volleyball."
"Actually concentrating on volleyball has never been an issue. It's keeping my grades up that needs my attention."
"Yesterday you said that when you were in Phoenix at your old school that you guys got first place in the states last year, was your coach really that into winning?"
"Yeah. If we lose only one game she would make us run our drills triple then what they were."
"So MVP last year and only a freshmen, nice."
"A captain in only his sophomore year, very nice." I replied with a smirk on my face.
"You're a captain, too if you haven't forgotten." He replied with a smirk of his own.
By then we reached my English class and we parted ways and I had to wait until lunch to see Edward again.
Lunch couldn't come any quicker.
EPOV:
When I dropped Bella off at her first class, I rushed as quickly to mine thinking of Bella the entire time.
I couldn't wait for lunch to come any faster until I would get to see the beautiful face of her again.
As time passed and lunch came. I ran to the table where I now sat with my family and friends, and also of course, Bella.
I was one of the first to arrive at the table until I quickly spotted Bella coming over.
"Hey." I greeted her.
"Hey."
"We should grab some lunch." I suggested.
"Um yeah. I guess we should."
As we walked to pay for our food I noticed Bella had only an apple, a small bowl of salad, and a bottle of water on her tray. "Bella, you have to eat more than that!" I exclaimed.
"It's fine Edward, I'm not very hungry." She tried to reassure me.
"Can you at least grab a cookie or two? You need to eat and I'm pretty sure a cookie will bring out some energy for gym later." I tried to convince her, and successfully convinced her to go back and grab a cookie.
When we were done paying for our food I noticed more people in the cafeteria and spotted Alice and Jasper coming towards the table that we were all going to sit at. "What took you guys so long?" I asked.
"What made you come so early?" Alice retorted as I narrowed my eyes at her.
"Touché."
And with that they went to get some food for themselves.
As Bella and I sat down and began to eat our food, Lauren and Jessica came over to attempt to flirt with me to go over with then to sit at their table.
"No thank you, Lauren. Jessica. Like yesterday I would much prefer to sit with my family and friends."
"Please!" Lauren practically whined, and if I was being truthful that shit truly hurt my ears."
"I said 'no thanks' Lauren. So if you don't mind I'd like to get back to my conversation with Bella."
As they left I heard Bella laughing next to me.
"I swear I almost burst out laughing when you cringed as she whined. I swear her voice is so high pitched you could probably hear it from miles away and still be able to break you ear drums." She said as she continued with her laughter.
"Yeah she does. I swear I probably almost broke an ear drum!" As I joined her in her fits of laughter.
By the time we started to calm down everyone else had taken a seat at the table.
As Emmett sat down he asked, "watcha guys laughing at."
"Before you guys sat down Lauren and Jessica cam over and began to beg Edward to go sit with them for lunch today, and we were just talking about how high pitched her whining voice was that you could possibly hear it from miles away and still break your ear drums. I swear her voice is higher than a dog whistle that a dog would probably run away from just by hearing one word come out of her mouth instead of obeying a command from her. I'm not even sure if that's possible, but hey, no one can deny the truth when it's standing right in front of you." Bella said as she shrugged her shoulders as if it wasn't a big deal.
Somewhere in the midst of her speech the others began to laugh as hard as we did and soon after I had followed along with them.
"Well it's true. Come on I'll even call some random person all the way in New York to see if they heard a loud screeching that didn't even sound like it was close by."
And with that we burst into a round of laughter and this time Bella joined us.
"Yeah Emmett I can see that she really is your sister." Jasper was able to gasp out while continuing to laugh.
"You know what? I think I'll that that as a compliment even if you really are confirming that I'm related to this goofball, because honestly I don't see how were related. I'm smarter and take things more seriously, whereas Emmett over there takes things as a joke and stuff's his mouth with food like a starving man who hasn't eaten a meal in days like he's doing right now."
As we all turned to stare at him, he lifted his head to a mouth full of food and a muffled sound coming out of his mouth which I think was supposed to come out as a "huh?"
And at that we burst into, yet another round of laughter.
"See? This is exactly what I mean." Bella was able to say through her giggling fit, which I have to say was completely adorable.
After we were done making fun of Emmett, without him knowing that we were even teasing him of course, we continues on with our lunches until the bell rang and I walked Bella to our biology class.
As Bella and I sat through our boring biology class I just kept thinking about her the whole time. I was falling harder and harder for her in every hour of every minute of every second.
BPOV:
After biology, Edward and I walked towards the gym for our last class of the day.
When I entered the girl's locker room I was soon shoved into a bunch of lockers by none other than Lauren and her sidekick.
"Listen here bitch, I told you to stay away from Edward, so this is your last warning. Stay away from him, or else." Lauren practically sneered into my face.
"You know what? I'm not going to listen to you because you are not the boss of me. Just because you're head cheerleader you think you can make everyone go into hiding and make everyone do whatever the hell you want them to do, but you know what? I don't give a damn whoever the hell you are. I'm not going to sit around and take your shit. Edward can hang out with whoever the hell he wants to hang out with. I don't give a shit if you're threatening me to stay the hell away from him, because I don't have to listen to you, and if he want to go hang out with you than he can go hang out with a whore like you because I don't have a say in what he does since it's his choice. Like everybody has a choice of listening to someone or not, and I choose to ignore whatever the hell you want and go on with my life." I sneered back at her.
As I turned to head towards my locker to change I heard Lauren screech something behind me that sounded something like, "YOU BITCH! YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO HAVE A SINGLE DAY OF PEACE HERE! YOU'LL BE RUNNING AND CRYING BACK TO WHEREVER THE HELL YOU CAME FROM AND EDWARD WILL BE ALL MINE!"
I scoffed and quickly changed and ran out of the locker room so I could fined Edward and fill him in what just happened.
As I came out I headed towards the bleachers where Edward was sitting.
"Guess who I ran into in the locker room today?" I asked.
He answer, "who?," even though he knew the answer.
"I had another run in with the ice queen again." I told him as I sat down.
"What'd she do this time?"
"She told me that this was my last warning to stay away from you and she threatened me with a 'or else!'" I put air quotes on the 'or else'. Don't worry because I gave her a piece of my mind that I'm not going to listen to anything that comes out of her slutty, ugly, ass mouth of hers."
"Good, because there is absolutely no way in hell that I'm going to stay away from you and not be able to talk to you at all."
"Yeah. If you ask me I'd say she's just plain desperate. Just watch, tomorrow at lunch or breakfast or maybe even both, she's going to come up to you and ask if you want to sit with them and depending what you're going to say she'll either do something stupid or do something stupid."
"And by stupid you mean..." He trailed off to let me finish.
""By stupid I mean if you say yes then she'll follow you around like a lost puppy and try to do something to me for what I said today, or you'll say no and she'll follow you like a lost puppy and possibly try to stand me up again or try to humiliate me and as she puts it make me 'run and cry back to wherever the hell I came from'. I'm pretty sure that she doesn't know that Emmett's my brother."
"She probably will think of something stupid. She's not even smart at all. I've always wondered how she kept her position as head cheerleader let alone get into high school. Actually better yet, how she was even able to graduate out of middle school. She probably had somebody do the work for her or some shit like that because there is absolutely no in hell she can try to read a book and get through one line without either A) going off topic. B) falling asleep. or C) having trouble pronouncing a word." He said as he rolled his eyes.
"I seriously don't get her problem. You can hang out with whoever the hell you want, yet she acts like your mom telling you to never talk to strangers."
"If she was my mother I'd be running away from as soon as I could walk and probably even faster if she says something."
"Good point. By the way that cookie really did bring out some energy into me while I was lashing out at her."
"See, what did I tell you? Maybe you'll start eating a cookie every lunch just so you can lash out at her every single day."
"Whoa. Slow down there buddy. Having to actually look at her face for 2 seconds already bothers me and makes me want to puke. What makes you think I'll be able to do it everyday!" I exclaimed.
"Maybe because you'll do it for me and you love talking back at her and making her annoyed." He said and looked at me with a pout on his face.
"Fine you have me there, but the only reason I'm even doing this is because you asked me to and because I love to see the reaction I get out of her every time I bitch out at her. Also, it's because I can't stand the puppy dog face." I said with a sigh.
"Good, because you need to eat more that you already do anyways."
Throughout class, the coach was letting us have another free period class today so that he can talk to the boys who were on the basketball team, that were in this period, about them missing practice yesterday. He was also talking to the girls on the volleyball team for Coach Penn.
"So I'm guessing there's going to be practice tonight to make up for yesterday since nobody came." I said.
"I'm guessing we are. So, when is the volleyball team's first game going to be?"
"I think it's going to be in a month or two. I'm not entirely sure. I just know this month is going to be only practices though. When's your first game?"
"I think next month or something. I'm pretty sure it's the same as you. You'll be coming to my games, right?"
"I'll go to yours if you come to mine."
"You, Bella, have got yourself a deal." He said with a smile.
As we got out of gym, Edward was yet again waiting for me after I was finished changing and got out of the locker room.
"Awwww you waited for me again. How sweet of you." And it was sweet of him. I'll admit I really do like him and maybe as more than just a friend kind of way.
"Well I was raised to be a gentlemen, so I'll put those skills to good use."
Come on Mr. Gentlemen and let's head to my room so we can hang out for a bit before we have to go back to the gym for the make-up practice."
As we walked in a comfortable silence to my room I decided to ask him a question. "So how'd you get yourself into playing basketball?"
"Well when I was little, like seven to ten years old, I was able to learn how to pick up a ball and dribble it, and as middle school came I joined the team and continues to play, and that's what I'm doing now. So, what about you? How did you start playing volleyball?"
"Well I started playing volleyball in the beginning of high school, so last year, because I always had nothing to do afterschool besides doing homework so I decided to join the volleyball team as an afterschool activity and I enjoyed playing and traveling around Arizona that I accepted the offer to come play volleyball here, and it tied perfectly with my plans of coming to Seattle anyways. So here I am now playing for Seattle Academy's volleyball team as sophomore and their captain."
"So volleyball was something you just all of a sudden decided to do and it ended up working out perfectly for you."
"Yeah, I guess you could say that."
As we entered the room we noticed that everyone else was there as well.
"Emmett. Jasper. Did you guys know that we have practice today as a make-up for yesterday?"
"Yeah. Coach came to tell us earlier. It sucks. Why do we have to suffer with them when they're the ones who missed practice" Emmett whined.
"Uh maybe it has to do with you being a part of the team. Besides we have practice tomorrow since it's our regular practice." I told him.
"Yea, well I still say it's not fair."
"Oh, shut up. I'm going there an hour early so you can't complain"
"What are you going an hour early for?"
"I'm used to going to practice early so that I can practice without having a dozen volleyballs flying around."
The boys left early since they wanted to head to the gym with me.
I changed into a light blue tank top with some spandex, and on top I put on a pair of baggy gray sweats that had 'Arizona Cardinals" written on the left side in red.(Outfit is on my profile) I put my hair into a tight ponytail and grabbed my gym bag that held my water, Gatorade, and my knee pads.
As I headed out the door I spotted the boys coming over to walk with me to the gym.
"You guys ready to go to practice?" I asked them.
And they all responded, "no."
"Well then you guys suck." I said to them while rolling my eyes.
When we got to the gym I saw that the net was already set up so I headed towards the bleachers to take off my sweats and put on my knee pads.
As I was taking off the sweats I heard somebody ask behind me what I was doing and of course it was none other than, Emmett.
"Relax. I have shorts under."
"Bella, I swear those are the tightest and shortest shorts I've ever seen."
As I sat down on the floor to put my knee pads on I said, "they're for volleyball, idiot. They're lighter meaning it's better."
"Well I don't approve of you going out in public wearing those."
"I didn't expect you to. You don't even have to worry, Em. The only time I ever wear them is when I got to play volleyball, and if I walk out in public with them, then I'm always wearing sweats."
"Good. I don't need you going on like that. You're not even 16 yet. Speaking of age, what are you doing for you birthday?" He asked.
"Shut up Emmett!" I practically screamed at him.
"When's your birthday, Bella?" Jasper asked.
"It's this Friday." Emmett told him.
"Alice will want to know so she can plan a party for you."
"No! No party, no presents, no anything!" I pretty much yelled it at them.
"Why not, Bella. You should like your birthday. You get presents, attention, and people do what you say."
"Exactly! I don't want any of that! I just want it to be a regular, normal day."
"Uh, Bella, incase you forgot. You told Rose, and Rose will probably tell Alice." Emmett put in.
"Shit! I forgot about that." I couldn't take out all my anger on the guys, so I took a volleyball from the pile and smacked one over the net. As the ball hit the ground you could hear a loud 'boom' as the ball met the floor.
Behind me I could see the guys backing away from me.
I took a deep breath and turned to face them. "You guys will not get me anything and you'll treat me like it's any other day on Friday, or your heads will be like that ball over there. Got it." I said in my most threatening tone.
I could see them gulping with scared expressions on their faces as they nodded their heads.
"Good."
With that I turned my backs on them and started bumping the ball to myself multiple times.
Today everybody was able to come to practice. When I was introduces as captain I saw a lot of people narrow their eyes when they heard that I was new to the school and only a sophomore.
At the end of practice, I waited for the guys to finish up with their practice so we could walk back to our rooms.
They finished and we were heading back to the rooms when Edward pulled me to the side so that we could talk.
"Bella, I know you don't want to do anything special or want anything for your birthday, but can I please do something." He pleaded with me.
"It depends what that something is."
"Can I take you out to a birthday dinner?" He asked nervously.
"Edward Cullen, are you asking me out?" I teased him. Yet I was really shocked he asked me to go out with him.
"It depends what your answer is. So, what'll it be?"
Of course I'll say yes. Why the hell would I want to say no. So I told him, "yes, I'll go on a birthday dinner with you, Edward." and I grinned at him.
"Awesome." He said as he grinned back at me.
We walked back to my room and when we got there we were greeted with a not so happy Alice.
"Bella Swan! Why was I just informed that your birthday is this Friday! I should have been told earlier than this. Now I have less time to go shopping for a gift and plan a party for you!" She exclaimed.
"Alice, I don't want a party and I don't want presents. When the boys wouldn't let it go I almost ripped the heads off and used them as volleyballs."
"It's true, Alice. She really almost did. She wanted to do absolutely nothing for her birthday. So you might as well just let it go." Edward told her.
"And besides, Edward's bringing me somewhere for a birthday dinner."
So I left it at that and walked to my drawers to pull out some sleeping clothes. A white tank top and a pair of blue plaid flannel pajama pants(Outfit on profile), and headed to the bathroom to get ready for bed.
EPOV:
As we walked out I knew Emmett was going to say something to me about asking Bella out so soon.
"Edward, I thought you were going to wait a few weeks before asking her out."
"I was until we started hanging out a lot these two days, and she said 'yes' Emmett."
""Well this better not hurt her, or else Edward. It doesn't matter if you're one of my best buds, I'm not letting you break her. Anything that breaks her I break them."
"I'm not going to. I honestly, really like her. Truly. I'm going to take this slow. I'm not rushing into things. I'm not going to intentionally hurt her.
"You better not, Edward."
With that we went to our separate rooms. Well Emmett and Jasper share and I have a single room, but we still separated.
I hope you guys liked that chapter.
I'm hoping that I can update the next one soon. It will probably be updated before, on, or after New Years.
Have A Happy Holiday and A Happy New Year!
Review!
