Disclaimer: Let's keep it simple, shall we? Twilight isn't mine. Tragic
So, I know it's taken me forever to update this story. I'm so glad you've been patient with me. I'm trying to balance two more FanFics, a story on FictionPress, an RP site on myspace and school it's stressful! Thanks for waiting. I love you all.
Chapter Two.
So that all the girls in my English class didn't find it too weird, Edward and I didn't take his Volvo. We took my car: a blue Audi. Edward noticed that it was the same color that he liked with my skin. He might not have said anything, but he noticed, I could just tell.
I knew Edward better than he thought I did. I knew now when he was lying to me. I knew his favorite color. I knew his favorite decade of music. I knew Edward. I had memorized every line of his face, every perfect molecule of his perfect features.
We arrived at the school and all the girls were staring at him. A few came up to me, as if were their friend, and started to talk to me.
"Bella," Said one of the girls. Her name was Courtney, I think, "Who's this."
"This is my new adopted brother, Edward," I said, "He just moved here from New Orleans."
"It's nice to meet you," Said Courtney, trying to be seductive, but sounded like a drowning cat.
"Likewise," Said Edward. Always the gentleman.
"So, Eddie," Said Courtney, "You want to get pizza after school?"
"I prefer Edward," he said, "And no. I don't want to get pizza with you."
"What?" Courtney asked, "Why not?"
"I don't like pizza," he said, "And I just moved here. I want to get to know people before I do anything."
But Courtney wasn't taking the hint. "You can get to know me on a date!" she said.
"Courtney," I said for him, "Edward doesn't want you. Back off." Courtney scoffed and stumbled away.
"Thank you," Said Edward.
"Of course," I said, "Although I know you have this weird thing for humans." Edward grimaced at me. I stared in front of me blank-faced.
Yes, I still loved him. I loved him with all my heart. But he didn't love me. I didn't want to make a fool out of myself. I was so happy that when I was around him, my pulse could quicken, or make face couldn't redden the way it used to.
We walked over to the attendance office and rang the little bell. The Receptionist came up to us and smiled.
"Hello, Bella," she said, "Who's this."
"This is my new brother, Edward Gellar," I said.
"It's my first day here," he said.
"That's funny," said the receptionist, "Edward and Bella. Like in Twilight."
"We're reading that in my English class," I said. "I guess I never thought about it."
"Here's you schedule," she said to Edward, handing him a slip of paper. We walked out of the cramped room and out into the hallway. He handed mw the slip of paper.
"We have…" I looked at the schedule and raised my eyebrows in surprise. "Every class together."
"I know," He said, "I pulled a few strings and now we're in every class together."
I rolled my eyes. Stupid Cullens always get what they want.
We walked to class, everyone staring at us. I felt uncomfortable. I knew that they stared at me when I was alone, but they stared even more because they realized that I had a friend. They watched us walk down the hallway less than a centimeter apart. I hid my face in my hair. I hated the feeling of people staring at me; that hadn't changed form my human days.
Edward and I walked into the classroom. Edward took the empty seat beside me. None of the humans liked to sit beside me. I was threatening to them. At least I had someone to talk to now.
The teacher walked into the classroom as the bell was ringing and set his papers down on his desk
"Sorry I'm late," He said. "Class, we have a new student today. Why don't you stand up and introduce yourself?"
Edward stood up. "My name is Edward Gellar," he said, "I just moved hear from New Orleans. I recently lost my family in a fire and Bella is my new sister."
"Edward and Bella," said some girl, "Like in Twilight."
"How many people are going to say that?" I asked, "We know we sound like we're the people form Twilight. We even look like them, but that's just an odd coincidence." Very odd, seeing how it was our story.
Edward sat back down and looked at me.
"You okay?" he asked.
"I'm fine," I said. The teacher started the class. I didn't pay attention. Edward was throwing notes at me the whole time. (Edward is in bold Bella is in italics)
I'm sorry I've been avoiding you.
It's fine. I understand
No, it's just that I felt like if you didn't see me, you would forget me
I could never forget you, Edward.
I realize that. I'm just glad you haven't killed me.
But I can if I want to.
I know. That's what scares me.
You could, too.
But I wouldn't.
Then, neither will I.
Good deal.
I looked at him and smiled. We were on good terms.
