Hey guys, this is chapter …3…? Yeah, chapter 3! Hope you like it 'cause I feel like it's not my best work… THERE'S A JEALOUS Bella! I loves those stories with a jealous Bella (:
Bella's POV
When I heard that there will be a new girl coming to our school, I was thrilled. I could make a new friend and I would be able to relate to her. Now, not so much. I don't normally get jealous, but how could I not with Elena McCray? I'm trying to control myself, get over the jealousy. It started in the beginning of the day, when I got out of my old rusty car and met by my amazingly handsome vampire boyfriend, Edward.
"Hello, love," he said and kissed me on the cheek, "did you know there was a new girl coming today? She's already here."
"Really? I can't wait to meet her!" I said excitedly. We passed an expensive looking car; I think it was a Mustang. "Wow that is one nice car."
"Must be the new girl's," Edward replied. I just shrugged and continued on. When I got inside everyone was chatting about the new girl. Apparently her name is Elena McCray and she moved here from Virginia. Wow, moved across the country, must have been tough for her.
When Edward walked me to my locker there was even more chatter.
"…Damn, that new girl is hot…"
"…she looks so lost, maybe we should help her…"
"..Omg, there she is…."
"…out of the way, Rosalie's coming…"
When I looked up from my locker I saw a slender, athletic seventeen year old girl. She had olive skin, brown eyes and long, straight, dark brown hair. She must have been the new girl because I've never seen her before. I nudged Edward and pointed towards her. She was looking down at her schedule or map when she came crashing into Rosalie. Oh crap, I feel bad for Elena now. You do not want to be on Rosalie's bad side, and bumping into her is not a good way to meet her.
"Edward, you should help her, Rosalie will kill the poor girl," I said.
"She'll be able to handle herself." He replied with a smirk. Sure, he can hear what's going on with Elena and Rosalie but I can't. I saw Elena about to leave but Rosalie pulled her back by grabbing her arm. Oh no, Rosalie don't do anything stupid. But what surprised me and the rest of the student body, was that Rosalie actually smiled at Elena. She smiled, a full out smile. She has never smiled at a human, not even me. I looked away, trying to ignore this weird feeling I have in the pit of my stomach. I opened my locker and took out my binders for the first four classes.
"Come on, let's go." I grabbed his cool hand. I've gotten used to his coldness. He walked me to my first class, kissed my cheek then went off to Calculus.
"Omg, Bella did you see the new girl? She is so pretty! I hear she's already made good friends with Rosalie, the Rosalie!" Jessica said as she ran over to me from her desk. I rolled my eyes at her.
"Yeah, I saw," I muttered. It started to annoy me that everyone was talking about Elena.
"Damn, did you see the new girl? She is FINE!" Mike exclaimed. Jessica looked a little annoyed. She still has the hugest crush him. And he's pretty oblivious.
"She's not that petty," Jessica muttered. Funny, a second ago she said she was 'so pretty'.
"You're kidding me? She's so hot!" It disgusted me how guys talk like that about girls. I rolled my eyes and looked down. Jessica glanced at me.
"Jealous?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. Was I? I just shook my head no.
Nothing new happened, just so much talk about Elena. Why can't they just shut up? She's just an ordinary girl. Soon enough lunch came along. I was putting away all my books and replacing them with my lunch bag. Charlie usually lets me take care of myself when it comes to school. I walked into the cafeteria and straight to the Cullens' table, where Edward, Alice and Jasper were already sitting. I took a seat next to Edward and started pulling all my food out.
"Hey guys, how's it going?" I asked as I uncapped my water bottle and took a small sip.
"Nothing too much, but did you meet Elena, the new girl?" Alice said with a little squeal. I sighed, not her too!
"No, but I hear she's very nice," Edward said.
"She is! Everyone likes her; she's super sweet and very funny! Even Jasper met her, and they made quick friends!" Great, so now almost all of the Cullens' are suddenly her best friends.
Rosalie and Emmett entered the cafeteria with Elena. Every eye was on her and I felt a little sorry for her. I remembered what it was like when I was new, everyone wouldn't stop bugging me and the stares got a little too intense for me. Then I had another thought. She must have been pretty popular at her old school so she's used to the stares. In fact, I bet she loves all the attention, what a spotlight hog.
After the three of them got their lunches, they headed toward us. Rosalie and Emmett got at the table first and sat in their regular seats. Elena came towards us, eying Edward and I.
"Edward, Bella this is Elena. Elena that's my idiot brother Edward and his girlfriend Bella," Rosalie introduced us. Rosalie said my name with the most venom she could get in her voice. It annoyed me how much she hates me, what did I ever do to her? Elena sat down in between Rosalie and Alice.
"Hi!" Elena said after a small awkward pause at the table
"Hey, I'm Edward, Rosalie's 'idiot' brother," Edward said. Elena smirked and nodded my head.
"And I'm Bella. I see you've already made good friends with the others?" I asked/assumed. I hope that didn't sound too jealous. I wasn't trying to be mean or anything.
"Yeah, we all met in the last four classes," she replied. We all made light conversation while Elena and I were eating. I saw Elena glancing at the Cullen's, probably wondering why they weren't eating because after a little while she finally asked.
"Not hungry?" Elena didn't say it to anyone in particular.
"Nah, not really," Emmett replied.
"Hey Elena, do you want to come over our house today?" Alice asked randomly. She raised an eyebrow, so did I. They met the girl a couple of hours ago and they wanted to bring her home?
"Yeah sure, I'd love to," she replied with a smile. It was silent for a little while, and then I saw Edward raised an eyebrow. He probably just heard some interesting thoughts.
"So Elena, what was it like in Virginia?" I asked, trying to break the silence. I never felt comfortable in those, unless it's with Edward.
"It was fine, it can get a little boring when you live there your whole life but sometimes it can get really interesting," she said with a small smirk, and I was a little interested. She said it like there's some big secret behind the sentence. Edward's eyes widened suddenly.
"You okay?" Elena asked as we all turned to face Edward. He just nodded and looked down. I put her hand on Edward's and looked at him confused, but he wasn't looking at me, he was looking at Alice. I raised an eyebrow. He usually always tells me what's going on or at least to assure me that he was fine. Soon enough Alice gasped and glanced at Elena with wide eyes. Now I really wanted to know what was happening.
Edward's POV
School, the only place I wish I could sleep. Going to high school for a whole century, learning the same thing over and over again is really boring after the second time. The only good part about it is seeing Bella every day. Now that there's a new girl, everyone's thoughts were centered on her. It took so little to get these people worked up. I've seen the girl, in person and repeatedly in thought after thought. She's just an ordinary human girl. The excitement over her was sadly expected; they acted the same when Bella came, like giving a new shiny toy to a child. Half the males are convinced they are in love with her and all the females are either jealous or love her style. She seemed rich and was popular at her old school, so it was no surprise she wasn't fazed by the stares.
She did seemed normal, until lunch came along. I wasn't really paying attention to the conversation they were having, just Elena's thoughts. They were very interesting. She usually thinks about either her old friends back in Virginia or what she thinks about us and Bella.
Anything unusual? Alice asked me. I turned my head slowly to the left, as if looking at the bricks of the wall, sighed, and then to right, back to the cracks in the ceiling. Only Alice knew that I was shaking my head. Alice and I were good at these private conversations, it was rare when anyone caught us or got suspicious.
I tuned back into Elena's thoughts. …Emmett was just like Matt. Oh no, Elena don't think of him. You've got to move passed him. Think of this new life. You're Elena McCray now, not Elena Gilbert. I raised my eyebrow. So McCray wasn't her real last name? She used to go by the last name Gilbert. Why would she want to change her last name?
Alice, McCray isn't her real last name, she changed it from Gilbert,I informed her. I glanced at her, watching her raise her eyes to the ceiling then back down.
Keep listening.
"So Elena, what was it like in Virginia?" Bella asked.
"It was fine, it can get a little boring when you live there your whole life but sometimes it can get really interesting," she said with a small smirk. I glanced at her and then heard her thoughts. …Stefan and Damon and how I reacted when I found out they were vampires. Vampires? No Elena, you can't think about them, they are the ones that caused you enough pain already. I widened my eyes. Elena knows vampires? They must have been the reason why she left, or ran away. If she ran away then that must have been the reason why she changed her last name. "You okay?" Elena asked me, but I just nodded my head. Bella put her hand on mine, obviously confused at my shocked expression. I just ignored her, I know pretty mean.
ALICE! Elena knows all about vampires, they caused her pain, I don't know if it was mental or physical pain but it was pain. She must have run away and changed her last name so no one could track her down. Alice was as shocked as me, all her thoughts jumbled into one huge mess.
"What's wrong Edward?" Bella asked a little worried. I kept ignoring her, waiting for Alice's reply. "Edward! Will you please tell me what's going on?" Still ignoring, I'm probably going to get it soon but right now that's not important. "EDWARD!"
"Hey Becca, could you shut up?" Rosalie exclaimed.
"It's Bella…"
"Just be happy I chose a girl's name," Rosalie muttered. Elena choked on her water, trying not to laugh; even Emmett was trying to hide his smile. If that wasn't the love of my life she was talking about, I would've laughed too.
"It's nothing, really," I said, hoping that would settle her down. I was tuned back into Elena's thoughts, hoping to get some more information. I got small little bits because once Elena starts thinking about one of the vampires she would make herself think of something else. The vampires she knows aren't like us. So far they can go out in the sun but wearing a special ring, they can eat, they sleep, and they can be killed by a stake. They're like the opposite of us.
Elena's POV
Alice and Edward were acting a bit weird. They keep looking at me.
"You guys okay?" I asked.
"We're fine," Edward replied quickly. I nodded my head slowly, not believing him for one moment. We went on with our lunch time the same as before, though I was still getting looks from Edward and Alice. When lunch was coming to an end, Mike and an Asian boy came over to our table shyly.
"Hey Elena, Bella, Cullen's," Mike said, muttering when he got to the 'Cullen's'. We all smirked a little.
"Hey Mike!" Bella said. I think she's the only one who liked him.
"Elena, this is Eric. Eric, this is the new girl, Elena," Mike said, gesturing to us as he introduced us. Oh how I love being called the new girl.
"Hi Eric," I said with not much enthusiasm.
"So, we were wondering if you wanted to go to La Push with us tomorrow after school with some friends of ours," Eric said. La Push? What was that, some kind of French restaurant? Bella must have noticed my confusion.
"La Push is a beach near here," she explained quickly.
"Oh, umm I don't know…" I said trailing off. I didn't really want to spend my whole afternoon with these guys. They seemed a little clingy and territorial.
"Some on, it'll be fun! Do you know how to surf? If not you can just go swimming or take a walk," Mike said, trying to convince me. It wasn't really working.
"I'll come with you, if you want," Bella offered, giving me a small smile. I heard Edward giving a disapproving grunt, the first sound coming from any of the Cullens'. Now I was confused.
"No, you won't go with her," Edward snarled. What was wrong with La Push?
"Come on, nothing will happen!" Now Bella was trying to convince Edward to letting her go. What would happen at a beach? Is she going to drown or something? Is she known for being clumsy and always hurting herself? Edward barked a small laugh. I looked at him with my eyebrows raised. He just shook his head.
"So are you coming or not?" Eric said impatiently.
"I'll go if Bella goes." Actually I don't want to go but I'd feel bad if I turned them down. Plus, if Bella goes then I'd have someone normal to talk to.
"Then it's settled, we'll go to the beach with you guys," Bella said, offering a smile to the two boys.
"Awesome, see you two tomorrow," Mike said. They both bid their goodbyes and left.
"Bella…" Edward mumbled.
"Come on Edward, lighten up and let Bella have some fun. It's a beach nothing will go wrong. If she drowns its fine, I'm a certified lifeguard," I said, trying to convince him. Wow, there's been a lot of convincing this lunch period.
"You're a certified lifeguard?" Emmett asked me in disbelief.
"What? I took a class in Virginia!" Some of the Cullens' smirked at me while a rolled my eyes. "So can Bella come or not?"
"Well…" Ed ward trailed off, still thinking.
"Please! Pretty please with a cherry on top!" I begged.
"Fine," Edward gave up.
"Yay!" Bella squealed, throwing her arms over Edward.
That's it… Again, not my best… Next chapter is when Elena goes to the Cullen's humble abode! Wooh!
