All Alone..?
Chapter 2.
"Bella?! Bella?!" I heard my friends shouting my name in the hallway; I was on my way to fourth period, English, but I stopped walking and leaned up against the lockers waiting for them to catch up. I plastered a smile onto my face, trying to act as if nothing was wrong. Although everything was. "Bella, hey. Where were you this morning?" Alice asked narrowing her eyes at me.
"Hey guys, I'm sorry I was just running late. I slept over my alarm and woke up with only twenty minutes to get ready and get to school." I lied, just hoping for once that both, Rosalie and Alice, wouldn't notice and I'm not sure if they did or not, but if they did. They made no motion to catch me on it.
"Oh well, a call would have been nice, we were waiting for you out in the front of the school." Rosalie complained.
"Look I'm really sorry, Can we talk about this later? Because I think we should get to class before the bell rings. I'll see you guys at lunch." I said walking off, waving a hand behind me to them. I looked up to the clock and saw I had two minutes to get to the third floor, and I was still on the first. A sigh escaped me as I started to run to class, only to trip up the stairs. Luckily nothing spilled out. I grabbed my book bag and started on my way again.
The shrill ringing of the bell, rang right when I walked through the door. A relieved sigh was let free and I walked over to my chair in the back of class. While we waited for the teacher to enter the door, which took only a couple seconds.
"Hello class I would like you to take out your pride and prejudice book and packet." Mrs. Rose said in a cheery tone. Taking out both of those things I decided to block out her lecture on what it was that we read about last night, and what we were to do. Instead I just stared off to my left, where the most amazing and beautiful guy sat, Edward Mason. I've only spoken to him, when I was over at Rosalie's or Alice's house, when their brothers invited him over.
They are all on the football team, Edward is the captain though but it seemed as if they all made some choices and such. Everyone knew I had the biggest crush on him and they always told me that he liked me also, but I never saw it. It just didn't make sense how he would like a girl like me, so plain and just not pretty.
"Bella, would you like to join us?" Mrs. Rose interrupted my thoughts, a light pink tinged my cheeks when I noticed Edward was gazing at me. I looked away embarrassed and looked up at the teacher.
"Yeah sorry." I said bashfully, as I looked back down.
"Quite alright, just do not let it happen again," I nodded as she went back to her lecture of whatever. I continued to look at my paper, but I looked through the corner of my eye at Edward and noticed him still gazing at me. I felt my cheeks getting even warmer and swore my cheeks were now a very bright pink.

"Bella, Earth to Bella! Are you there?!" Alice's shrilly voice asked, I shook my head and looked over at both Rosalie and Alice. We were now in lunch, and they caught me staring at Edward again, I started to blush again.
"Come on Bella, everyone in the whole school knows you have a crush on Edward. Why don't you go over there and ask him over to your house, already?" Rosalie spoke matter-of-factly, as if it was the simplest thing in the world. Let me tell you, It's not!
"It's not that simple, Rose." I gazed over at Edward again, watching as he threw his head back in laughter, from something Emmett must have said. I shook my head looking over at my two best friends. "I don't even think he likes me." I whispered, looking back down at my lunch, pushing around the rice with a fork.
"Oh come on Bella, he is totally for you! I swear are you that dense?" exclaimed Alice. In all reality, I didn't think I was but, obviously to my two best friends I was completely dense if I didn't see that Edward liked me. Which I repeat is completely impossible. There are better girls than me, thus making Edward not liking me.
"No, but it does not make sense, how can he like me. I'm just so plain and boring. Nothing special about me for him to like." I threw my hands up in the air to try and make a point. Every time this get brought up, all they say is, 'oh Edward likes you, just go ask him out.'
"Oh My God, Bella. How many times do we have to say this? You are beautiful, amazing and any boy would be lucky to have you." Rose tried to tell me, but I wasn't having any of it, but I wasn't going to argue any further.
"Yeah, whatever guys." I shrugged and looked over to Edward again, only to notice him staring at me. I found myself getting lost in his deep emerald green eyes, it felt as if i could see through him, but for me I swore that he could see right through my soul and see everything that I keep to myself, that was until Jasper slapped his shoulder to get his attention, which caused him to look away and back at friends. They both held knowing looks, which made me worry about what they were planning.
"What are you two planning?" I asked, while looking at them suspiciously.
"Who us?" Alice sounded appalled as Rose looked it. They pointed to themselves and shook their head. "Come on Bella, are we really that bad?" I rolled my eyes at them and started to laugh, that was until I had to hear his voice. That caused me to stop laughing and make me heart speed up in fear and worry.
"Bella!" Oh god please tell me I'm dreaming. I looked to my side and saw Gabriel standing there, with his arms crossed glaring down at me. I slowly closed my eyes, hoping for him to disappear when I opened them, but when I looked over to my friends and saw their expressions I knew he was really there. Standing next to me, in all his frightening glory. I then really looked at my friends faces and saw what they felt, they were curious, confused and mostly as if they were missing something drastically. They looked to me expectantly, I just shook my head at them. Telling them another time and looked back up at Gabriel.
"Yes, Gabe?" I asked calmly. I really wished that he would disappear right now, he already ruined my morning and I didn't need him ruining my afternoon.
"I just wanted to let you know that I'm leaving school early today." He continued his glare at me, but it seemed as if Rose and Alice were oblivious to it. They were to busy staring at me wanting answers.
"Then how the hell am I suppose to get home Gabe?" I looked up at him, waiting for his answer. It wasn't as if I wasn't expecting it, but I just wished it didn't happen.
"Walk!" He stated in the 'duh' tone, shrugging his shoulders and walking out the cafeteria doors. I wanted to yell out in frustration but wouldn't due to the fact of being at school. I sighed and looked up at my friends, as they were staring at me wanting answers.
"So I'm guessing you guys want answers right?" I asked in just barely a whisper, they both nodded eagerly. I really didn't want them to know, at least not right now because I wasn't sure how they would take the news. We all hated Gabriel, due to his stuck up mood, which I knew he got from his mother. "Okay well I never told you this, but my dad has been dating Gabriel's mom, Victoria, for a month now. Well during then, Gabreil and I never talked in public due to the fact we both hated each other. Okay, well last night I found out my dad proposed to Victoria, without even bothering to ask me how I felt about it. Which now makes Gabriel think that it's okay to talk me in public. He now says we are officially brother and sister. Just it's nothing really. Don't bother about it." I spoke as if I was ashamed of myself, which in a way I am, but its not because of what I told them. It's what I didn't. Such as how Victoria really is and how much we all hated each other. Also what was really going on between this whole thing.
"You're not telling us everything Bella, I can tell when you're lying!" Alice stated, I just continued looking down nodding. Wishing to tell them everything, but keeping back, knowing I can't. So i just came up with the first thing that came to mind.
"Hey look, I've got to go to the library. So I will see you later?" I asked not really sure, as I picked my bag off the ground getting up to leave. They both mumbled, a 'yeah sure' and went back to talking to each other.
Sighing I walked out of the cafeteria, to the bench outside, underneath a blossom tree, which still had some rays of sunlight peeking out from underneath the tree. Yes it was one of the rare sunny days in Forks and I welcomed it, it truly helped me with thinking things through, but today even with the sun, proved it impossible for me to decode my thoughts. Suddenly a sudden sound of tapping and someone say my name, interrupted me. I looked up only to be surprised at who I found standing in front of me.
"Hey Bella." Edward smiled, looked at the seat next to me. I could tell he wondered if he could sit next to me, I nodded to him, and he sat down to the left of me, looking up at the sky. We were sitting in the silence for maybe about three minutes. I was waiting for him to say something, but it seemed like he wasn't going to start the conversation so I finally asked.
"Not to sound rude, but what are you doing out here? Shouldn't you be with your football buddies?" I asked not bothering to even look at him, instead I kept looking at the tulips, daiseys and other flowers growing. I heard a chuckle escape him and couldn't help it when I looked up at him, he looked even more beautiful when the sun shined on him. Which I didn't even think possible. His face seemed brighter, and when he smiled it made everything about him shine.
"Yeah I should be, but I much rather be outside. Besides I saw you walk out of the cafeteria and you seemed upset, so I decided to come out and see if you were okay." he paused and looked thoughtful for a second. "So are you okay?" I couldn't help it when a laugh escaped me, he just sounded so funny. Yeah I know it seems rude to laugh when someone asks you if your okay, but like I said I couldn't help it. I nodded to him, as a blush appeared on my cheeks.
"Yes, I'm fine. I was really just lost in thought and normally the sun helps me think through things, but today, I'm not so lucky." I sighed looking up at the white puffy clouds in the sky. Looking up there made things look simple, I mean the sky is simple. Clouds, Sun, Moon, and stars. Why couldn't life be that simple?
"Well, maybe I could help?" He asked as he ran his hand through his bronze hair. Which looked even more red due to the sun, it just made me want to touch his hair and feel how soft it really was and suddenly I was very envious of his hand.
"Maybe, but I really have to try and figure it out myself, but thank you for the offer." He nodded, when I heard the bell ring, declaring that lunch was over. I looked over to the window, that allowed you to look in the cafeteria and saw my two very curious best friends looking between me and Edward. They landed on me when they noticed I caught them, they both had the most biggest grins. I could just tell that they would want every last detail of what went on, I sighed because truly it wasn't much. I looked back up at Edward and he was already standing with his hand outstretched to me. I took it and swore I felt some type of spark and from the expression on his face he felt it too. Quickly I thanked him and was about to head to my next class, when he said something.
"I'll catch you later then, Bella?" He asked, I even think that I heard some hope in his voice, I nodded and started towards my second to last class of the day in a daze. Cause even though it truly was nothing, it felt like it was something. I just wasn't sure what, but whatever it was it had my heart racing, but then something stopped it. Gabriel was standing on the opposite side of the street staring at me with a smirk, one that showed we will be talking when I get back to my house, with that known I let out a sigh. Just when everything starts going pretty well, something just has to ruin it.
