This is just Edwards POV of the events that followed that biology class
Edwards POV
I walked out of biology, dazed. It was the weirdest feeling, I had just spent an hour being ignored and then insulted but it was by far the best hour of my life. It was embarrassing, and I was never going to admit it but I was head over heels in love with Bella. I had never felt anything so strongly before.
I had an uncontrollable desire to make Bella like me too, and as long as she was friends with Jessica that really wasn't going to happen. Unless I thought, I make Jessica like someone else. Mike. It was perfect, he was by far the most popular boy in school, and there was a dance in two weeks, and I was on the basketball team with him. I smiled as I realized training was today. I went to the basketball courts and started shooting some hoops before practice. It wasn't long before someone walked in, Mike.
"Hey Mike" I said, aiming the ball and dropping it into the net.
"Hey man" he said, grabbing another ball.
"So Mike, who are you taking to the dance" I asked, trying to remain casual
" I dunno"
perfect
"You should ask Jessica" I said, "I hear she's single"
"You hear she's single, didn't you like reject her this morning?" he asked skeptically. Dammit. I guess I would have to lie
"Well technically… but don't tell her I told you, she just did that to try to make you jealous" please fall for it, please fall for it, please fall for it
"Really!" he looked excited, yes. Clearly he was so excited he didn't realize that my explanation didn't really make sense.
"Definitely, you should ask her tomorrow before school"
"I think I will", he looked thoughtful "Thanks Edward"
"No problem" I said, thinking yes, yes, yes, yes
"So who are you going to ask" he asked
"Well, I might ask Bella"
"Bella…?"
"Um…" I said embarrassed " I don't know her last name, she's new" I admitted
"Oh Bella Swan, yeah she's hot", Mike nodded with approval. Bella Swan, what a pretty name…and kind of ironic. I started to laugh. "What's so funny?" asked Mike
"Bella SWAN doesn't really seem very elegant," I explained.
"Hey you're right" grinned Mike, "She's really clumsy". After that the rest of the team came to practice, and after an hour it was time to go.
I took a shower, and left the gym, waving to Mike and reveling in my perfect plan. I climbed into my Volvo and drove home, thinking all the while about Bella. About her perfectly white skin, the way she had blushed, her brown hair and her lips. I could so easily imagine myself kissing her, leaning in, my hands on her waist, her around my neck, pulling me closer… as I pulled up to my driveway, I heard a honk that pulled me out of my daydream.
I climbed out of the car and walked up to the huge Jeep and glared at Emmett. "Emmett what the hell are you doing here?" I demanded. Emmett put his hands up in mock surrender
"Woah man, I just came to play guitar hero like we always do on Mondays" oh yeah, I had forgotten, "but if that's too much of a problem I can just leave" he continued
"No, no, that's fine" I reassured him as we started walking towards the house, "I just forgot that's all".
"Something on your mind?" he asked
"No" I said quickly, too quickly.
"Oh my gosh" he said, stopping in his tracks "Edward, it's a girl"
"What, no" I yelled, but it was too late, Emmett had pulled out his cellphone
"Hey Jasper, get over here… to Edward's…yeah bring Alice too….Edward has a crush…yes on a girl, who else…hahaha nice one"
"Emmett" I growled, but he held up a finger to silence me as he dialed again
"ROSE" He shouted, "Hey babe…listen you have to come to Edward's…he has a crush…OH MY GOSH WHY DID EVERYONE THINK HE WAS GAY… I guess…I don't know who… just come over…yes Alice will be there…love you…see you soon"
"EMMETT, WHAT THE HELL" I roared
"Oh calm down Edward, I had to let everyone know, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, so who is she?" Before I could answer he shushed me, "why don't you just wait for the others". So grudgingly I opened the door, thanking God that my parents were out and waited for the others to get here. I heard the doorbell ring and went to the door. It was Alice. She flew at me, wrapping her arms around me
"Congratulations Edward" she squealed as I covered my ears. Jasper grinned and said
"About time" I glared at him. Just then Rosalie pulled up in her car, got out, pulled me inside, shut the door and said
"Tell us everything". I was going to protest, but I wasn't stupid, I knew this wasn't an argument I was likely to win so I caved, and told them everything, from the start of biology, to my little chat with Mike. When I was done Emmett laughed, I raised my eyebrows
"You finally get a crush on a girl and she hates you" he chuckled. I was about to punch him, when Rosalie slapped him on the arm.
"Be nice" she said
"Yeah" agreed Alice "Besides his plan is pretty good". I nodded, and she continued "and I am going to help you".
"NO" I yelled
"YES" yelled Alice, who for such a small girl had a surprisingly loud scream
"Fine" I mumbled. Before Alice could scheme anymore I heard the door open and shut as my parents walked in.
"Hi Esme, Hi Carlisle" said Alice excitedly. They looked around at everyone and looked at me questioningly
"Hi guys" said Carlisle "what are you all up to"
"LEAVING" I said at the same time as Alice said
"We're all helping Edward with his lady troubles"
"Goodbye all" I said as I pushed them out the door.
Sorry it's a short chapter, it just doesn't fit with the next one, which I will post tomorrow, please review!
