Wow. okay so i'm really really sorry about how late i'm getting this chapter up! i had started it right after i posted that last chapter, but with my soccer team going to sectionals and the homework really piling up, it's been super difficult. But we just lost yesterday in regionals so i should be back on track :]. i really hope i'll never post one this late again, and once again, i'm sorry!
i've been thinking and i really want to know if i should post longer chapters like 3,000 words or if i should do shorter ones (which would proably come more often) that are around 700 or so words. SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHICH ONE YOU PREFER! cuse i'll do whatever you guys want!!
So without further ado..
last chapter: Throughout class, I was consciously aware of Edward, who was sitting 3 rows back and a column over.
When the Moon Met the Sun
Chapter 5: World of My Own
I was relieved when the bell finally rang. I could barely concentrate on what Mr. Banner was talking about. If someone asked me what he was talking about for the last 42 minutes, I wouldn't be able to answer.
I rose from my seat, and instantly meeting Mike's eager blue eyes. "Walking to P.E. again, Bella?"
"Um, yeah I am," I said hesitantly. I was planning on trying to find some way to talk to Edward, but I guess that was out of the question now. Although I wanted to be close him, secretly I was sort of comforted that Mike had ruined the plan. After using the past class to work up my nerve to talk to him, I still hadn't completely succeeded. If I wanted to be honest with myself, I would have chickened out at the last moment anyway.
Before turning away from my desk, I stole a glance back at Edward, where he was still by his table. A blush crept into my checks when he caught my eye and smiled at me. The grin I shot back at him was easier to do than I thought.
Mike moved in front of me, blocking out my view of Edward. He ushered me out the door and I was unable to take one last peek at the object of my mind's obsessing. All through the walk to the locker room, Mike kept up a steady conversation going, which I've been starting to get used to. His easy-going personality and talks have relaxed my mind from the incessant thoughts that have yet to give me the rest I need. He continued to tell me the latest event in his life, using crazy hand gestures that had me laughing in response.
Before I knew it, I was standing in front of the girl's locker room and Alice was walking towards me.
With smiles on both of our faces Mike said, "I'll see you soon, Bella."
The smile was still plastered on my face as I held the door open for Alice. "So what was that all about?" She wiggled her eyebrows at me, suggesting that there was something going on between us.
I barked out a laugh as I guess what she was insinuating. "Alice! Please, Mike's just a friend. That's it."
"Whatever you say, Bella; but I think Mike has more than friendship on his mind." By the end of her sentence, there was a hint of something in her voice that I couldn't place. I shrugged it off, deciding that if she wanted to tell me what that tone of voice meant, she would. But I'll find out eventually anyways.
"Do you want to come over to my house after school? There are some clothes that I don't want anymore and I think they'd be perfect for you." She looked up with me at hopeful eyes, trying to make me give into her pleading. But it was unneeded. I was all too willing.
"Sure Alice," I said with a laugh. "As long as the clothes aren't too crazy and they fit, then I guess why not?"
Alright, if I wanted to admit it, I was also excited to see more of Edward. I wasn't quite relaxed around him yet, but I was more comfortable now than I was before. Those eyes of his always reminded me of grass in the spring. It made me feel secure around him when looking into his eyes I was brought back to laying in the grass with a book in my hand, and the suns warm rays caressing my cheeks.
I snapped out of my daydream of Edward when Alice grabbed my arm before I could hurl into the locker room door. "Watch out, Bella," she said while laughing uncontrollably. "Sometimes I think you get so wrapped up in your world that you have no clue what's going on outside of it."
