Chapter 3
EPOV
I stepped out of my car and got my bags out of the trunk. It was my first year at Coleman's Academy and I had to admit, I was a little nervous. I had been going to public school for my whole life, my parents decided to send me here for my last two years of high school to save me from the humiliation my ex-girlfriend put me through. Just thinking about it made me mad. I didn't want to think about that. I dropped my schedule as I walked towards my dorm building and stopped to pick it up. When I stood up, I stopped. Walking across the courtyard was the most beautiful girl I had ever laid eyes on. She had brown hair and chocolate eyes. She was with 2 other girls, her roommates I expect. One was very short and looked like she had a lot of energy… was she bouncing? The other one was very good looking also, but not my type at all, she was tall and blonde. I refocused my attention back to the brunette. I fought the urge to go over there and make a fool of myself. She and the other two girls walked into the dorm building right next to mine. I started to breathe for the first time since I saw her. I didn't even know what grade she was in or anything about her, but I wanted to get to know her. I picked up my things and walked into my dorm building.
I had two roommates. They were pretty cool; I could easily get along with them. They were Emmett McCarty and Jasper Whitlock. Emmett was like a 2 year old inside a 17 year old's body and a very large body for that matter. Jasper was very calm and collected but still cool at the same time. We went to the meeting for new students and got shown around. I hoped to see the brown haired girl again but no such luck.
It was Monday when my classes started. I had English first. I had always been fairly good at English so this shouldn't be too bad. I was one of the first to class, it was an early morning class but I liked getting up early. To pass the time pulled out a notebook and started to write a letter to my mother. I would type it up later, but I was nervous and needed to do something with my hands. A little while later, the class pooled in and Mr. Carlo, the teacher, started to talk.
"Alright, class. Now I know most of you from previous years, but we have quite a few new students this year. I want all of you to stand up one by one, tell us your name, age, and something interesting about yourself," he said. This should be easy. I watched and listened as we went through each student. The next person to talk was the short friend of the brown haired girl.
"Hi! My name is Mary Alice Brandon, Alice for short. I'm 16—almost 17. And I love to shop!" the girl said. Wow, she definitely had a lot of energy.
"I'm Rosalie Hale. I'm 17. My favorite color is red," the next girl said in a very bored voice. I noticed she was the blonde friend the brown haired girl had. There was a long pause before the next student spoke. I could only see the back of her head, she had brown hair. That was odd, Alice and Rosalie, the brown haired girl's friends, were sitting next to a girl with brown hair. It couldn't be her… could it?
"Miss. Swan?" said Mr. Carlo. The girl stood up and that's when I saw her. It was the brown haired girl that I saw the other day. My heart skipped a beat. I had a class with her. She was in my grade. I could have squealed like a girl with joy.
"Um… I'm Isabella Swan, Bella for short. Um… I'll be 17 in a c-couple weeks and…" she trailed off, it was like she couldn't think of anything to say. That's absurd. I could find many things interesting about her and I didn't even know her. And her name,Bella, it was so beautiful, it fit perfectly. She looked over at Alice and Rosalie with a panicked look on her face. Alice pointed at herself and Rosalie. "… and my best friends are Alice and Rosalie" she finished hurriedly and sat down. She put her face in her hands. She was embarrassed and I thought it was so cute. Before I knew it, it was my turn.
"Hi, I'm Edward Cullen. I'm 17 and I play the piano" I sat down and looked up. Bella had turned around to look at me, I gave her a smile and she blushed and turned back around. She was looking at me. That could have meant anything, but I wasn't going to let those possibilities ruin this feeling.
Later that day I was walking back from a class and had gotten lost. I couldn't figure out where I was, it was so frustrating! I was trying to read the map when I knocked into someone. They fell down onto the ground. That's when I realized who I had run into.
"Ouch... Wow, I'm so—" She looked up. It was Bella. She paused when she looked at me. Oh no, was something stuck in my teeth? Was she annoyed that it was me? "—sorry" she finished.
"It's alright. It was my fault. I was trying to read this map and wasn't watching where I was going." I said.
"A-are you sure?" she stuttered. It was so cute when she stuttered.
"Absolutely." I offered my hand out to her to help her up. The gentleman my mother raised coming out. She took it and when she touched my hand it felt like a shock was running through my veins. I wonder if she felt it too. She probably didn't, there is no way anyone that beautiful could be interested in me. It was then that I remembered that I was lost. Ugh, great. Wait! She lived in the building next to me! There was an awkward silence as I tried to build up the courage to ask her. "Um, do you mind helping me out? I can't seem to find my way back to my dorm" I said with a sheepish smile. She agreed and we walked in silence.
I couldn't believe I was walking with her. I hope she remembered me from English. Although she probably didn't. We got to the dorm buildings and stopped walking.
"Well, I think I can make it from here" I said with a smile. She turned to walk back to her dorm.
"I-I'm Edward… by the way." I blurted out. Stupid! She stopped and slowly turned around.
"… I'm Bella" she said and smiled. I smiled back and turned back around. Maybe it wasn't that bad that I told her my name. I was going to get to know her. I had to.
A/N: So, there it is. Chapter 3. But, don't expect many Edward's point of views. This story is more about Bella's trip. I just thought Edward needed his chance to speak and this way there is no confusion of how Edward feels… except for Bella. Plus, I don't really like writing Edward's, I'm not very good at it. So anyway. REVIEW PLEASE!
