"Alright, so here are your lunches," Renée said while handing Edward the brown paper bag with his lunch in it. "Bella usually doesn't buy the food in the cafeteria, but if you want money don't hesitate to ask."
"Thank you," Edward said, giving her a big smile. "I'm sure this lunch will be delicious."
I rolled my eyes; he was being even lamer than usual. I checked the clock and realized we were late. "Crap, we're late," I exclaimed loudly and rushed over to the sink to rinse off the bowl full of soggy corn flakes.
"Um, how will we get to school?" Edward asked skeptically placing his empty bowl in the sink as well.
I smiled at him wickedly. "My big red truck of course," I practically shouted cheerfully.
xXxXxXx
Edward's eyes scrutinized my red truck, he was probably wondering how something that old was still working properly.
"Like it?" I asked, faking cheerfulness. I grinned ear to ear because I knew he didn't by the way he looked at it…like it was a pile of doggy do do or something.
He still had that disgusted look on his face. "It looks…" he said, struggling for the right word. "Like an antique."
I snorted, the way it seemed Edward was the type of guy who probably had some nice little Mercedes. "It's my baby…" I mused while patting my red hunk of burning love on the trunk.
"I already miss my Volvo…" Edward muttered under his breath, it almost sounded incoherent. Ah-ha! So he did have some nice fancy car. I knew it.
I grinned even wider. "What was that?" I mocked in fake horror, looking up at him. It was actually very funny how Edward reacted to my truck; I couldn't help but laugh a bit.
He stared down at me guilty, but laughter in his eyes. "Nothing, I didn't say anything," he answered while chuckling a bit; he knew I heard what he said.
I punched him playfully on the arm; neither of us seemed to stop laughing. "Yeah sure," I said sarcastically.
Then I stopped, what was I doing?
Was I actually having a good time with Edward? Hell no! This couldn't be happening. "We better get going, besides I told Jake we would meet up with him," I hissed menacingly.
In the corner of my eye I saw him flinch a bit from my harsh tone. "Alright," he mumbled quietly and got in the passengers seat.
None of us said anything on our way there and it wasn't a long way either. It only took about three minutes to get to Forks High school from my house. People usually make fun of my truck and I usually just roll my eyes and ignore them. I wonder if today will be different by any chance.
I parked my car in the school parking lot and noticed that Edward was gazing at the school building intently, with appraising eyes.
"What? Never seen a school before?" I blurted out.
"Not like this…it's a very nice school…" he mused, still staring at the school.
"Haven't you ever gone to school?" I asked, genuinely curious.
"Boarding school."
Oh, whoa it must suck for him to have to be away from his family and all. That's probably why he is so weird…
I was startled by a loud knocking noise on my car window, I jumped slightly and saw that Jacob was outside, grinning widely. I eagerly got out of my truck with my backpack.
"Hey Jake," I greeted cheerfully. I heard Edward hop out of the car, slamming the passenger door, and then coming around to where Jacob and I were.
"Hiya Bella," he said and looked at Edward. "Hi, you must be Edward. I'm Bella's friend, Jacob." Jacob shook his hand eagerly.
"It's nice to meet you Jacob," he replied and smiled politely.
I didn't really want Jacob and Edward talking that much so I suggested, "We should probably go to the main office and get your schedule."
Edward nodded and then started walking toward the school, with Jacob and me closely following behind. "Whoa, did you notice that?" Jake exclaimed enthusiastically but in hushed tone because we were close behind Edward and he didn't want him to hear.
My brows scrunched down. "Notice what?" I asked skeptically in the same quiet voice.
His eyes widened incredulously. "Everyone is staring at him…especially the girls!"
My forehead creased, I tore my gaze from Jacob's and looking around the parking lot.
And he was so right.
Every person I saw in the parking lot stared at Edward as if he was a new shiny toy or something. The girls stopped chatting with their friends and stopped to stare at him with smoldering eyes. And the guys glared at him with envy. It was as if the whole world froze and the center of attention was Edward. Even the teachers gaped at him.
Edward didn't seem to notice this; he just kept walking toward the school as if nothing was happening.
"Bella close your mouth," Jacob commanded. I snapped my mouth shut, still shocked. How could the school react this way? It was so…unmoral. As if he was a piece of meat or something.
"If only they knew how Edward really was…" I mused while tilting my head to the side. And he was a weirdo, if only they knew that…they wouldn't stare at him like that.
"What's so odd about him?" Jake asked skeptically. "He seems pretty decent to me. I think you're overreacting a bit Bella."
"What?!" I asked, incredulously. "And how long have you known him for? Two minutes now and you already know him?"
He sighed in frustration. "Fine, but I still think he is normal. I'll see you in lunch," he said while steering toward another part of the school.
I walked faster and caught up with Edward, now leading him toward the office. When we got inside the school, he looking up at the high ceilings and took everything in. I opened the office door for him and followed as he entered in.
The red-haired secretary was sitting in her desk with her huge over sized glasses perched on her nose. "Hi Mrs. Bernard, this is our new foreign exchange student from London, Edward Cullen," I explained.
She looked up from her pile of paper and stared up at him, like how the girls did in the parking lot. "Well hello Edward, it's nice to have you here," she said.
"It's nice to be here," he said politely.
"Can we please have his schedule," I asked impatiently.
Her eyebrows scrunched down in confusion. "Don't you know hun?" she asked.
"Know what…"
"Mr. Cullen will be having every single class with you…that's how this foreign exchange program works. It was all in the packet which your parents signed," she explained.
I stared down at her blue eyes in shock with my mouth hanging wide open. Was she serious? I could just tell that my face was probably as pale as the white ceilings. This couldn't possibly be happening…
And I thought today couldn't get any worse.
xXxXxXx
The first couple of periods of class were pretty normal, (thank gosh) only because no one special or popular was in my morning classes. The drama pretty much started at lunch in 5th period.
Pretty much everyone in our morning classes gaped at Edward. Hopefully this wouldn't last very long, because if it did I would probably jump off a cliff. I already had eight girls come up to me and ask me who Edward was. I just simply said he was the foreign exchange student who lived with me.
They were just bewildered and they kept asking me crazy questions about him like if he wore briefs or boxers…which I really didn't want to know myself.
I thought my face would burst from how red it was.
Well anyway, Edward and I barley had time to sit in our chairs at the lunch table where Jacob was before Lauren came up to our table.
"Hey Bella," she greeted nicely…a little too nicely if you ask me. It was totally obvious that Lauren was faking kindness. Lauren Mallory has never been nice to me, never. She has hated me every since I sat on her Barbie lunch box in the 5th grade.
"Hi Lauren," I said through my gritted teeth, I knew she was being fake with me, a monkey could have noticed.
She smirked wickedly. "Who's your friend?" She gazed down at Edward with smoldering eyes; Edward was about to take a bite out of his sandwich that Renée made him but then stopped when he knew he was being mentioned.
I sighed; even Lauren had her sights set on Edward. "This is Edward, our new foreign exchange student from England," I replied dully. I probably said that about a hundred times today. "Edward this is Lauren." I gestured with my hands.
Lauren smirked even wider. "It's nice to meet you Edward."
He smiled at her. "It's nice to meet you too," he said politely and then looked away from her and began eating his lunch peacefully.
"I totally adore your accent," she complimented. "I love guys with Australian accents." She batted her eyelashes obnoxiously.
"He's from London," Jacob snapped.
I looked down at my hands, trying really hard not to burst out laughing.
And let me tell you…it was not easy.
My lips twitched a bit as I tried to hold in my laughter. That absolutely just made my day.
Lauren frowned. "Oh, yeah…" she said. "Whatever." She waved her hand flippantly. She turned to Edward and said, "I hope to see you around." She winked seductively at him and then left our table.
Edward blushed and then continued to eat his lunch.
I rolled my eyes; Lauren was already trying to win Edward's heart. If only she know how odd he really was.
"So Edward how is your day so far?" Jacob asked curiously.
Edward swallowed and then replied, "It has been splendid, and this is a great experience for me."
Jake nodded and then continued to eat.
The rest of the day was just a blur; gym was horrible that was for sure. We had to play volleyball and I had to wear one of those skimpy little shorts which I hate wearing so much. The ball hit me four times, which wasn't a lot to me.
Edward managed to spike the ball over the net and our team won. Practically every girl swooned over him.
Even Sally Hirschman drooled over Edward…and she is a lesbian.
I guess it's a fact that Edward Cullen can turn gay girls straight.
