Chapter 2
Edward POV
Bella returned to an upright sitting position once Professor Grant entered the classroom. Her face was flushed after being upside down for so long and her hair was slightly disheveled. She looked radiant still. Bella raked her fingers through her hair to put it back in place. I watched as she dug through her bag for a pencil and notebook to take notes with. I realized that I should probably do the same. I'd hate to get behind on my first day, but I couldn't manage to take my eyes off of her. Even so, I too got out my notebook and pen to take notes on the professor's lecture.
Even while listening to the lecture I couldn't help but sneak a few glances at Bella. The way her hair shined in the sun and the way she seemed to soak up the sun's glow. The way she held her pencil and her adorably sloppy handwriting. I thought I was being sneaky about it, but I wasn't so sure when I saw Bella smiling. I was trying so very hard to not blatantly stare, but her smile was so beautiful that it was hard not to.
Bella pushed sheet of paper over to me with her clumsy scrawl on it.
You know the hour and a half is almost over and you have hardly any notes written.
I checked my watch and realized that there was only 10 minutes left of class. I had spent most of it ogling Bella.
You're right. You know I feel like we're back in high school with this note writing.
I pushed the paper back to her so that she could read my note. Bella smiled a glorious smile, wrote something, and pushed the paper back to me.
You know what else is high school, 'sneakily' stealing glances at the girl staring next to you. Yeah I caught you looking. I must say that while I'm flattered, I can't help but think that there might be something on my face.
I chuckled at the thought. Bella ever being less than perfect in any situation was laughable.
No, you're face is perfect. I just figured that sneaky glances were more polite than blatant staring.
I watched as a blush creep up over Bella's face. She looked at me and I smiled at her. Which only seemed to make her blush deeper but she smiled as well. Soon Professor Grant dismissed the class, and I would be able to talk to Bella and hear her gorgeous voice. I saw Bella looking over my notes.
"Well, I don't know how you're going to be ready for the test next Monday if you keep this up. But if it's any consolation, your handwriting's pretty." Bella said to me.
"I'm usually not this distracted, but when there's an unbelievably gorgeous woman sitting next to me it's not like I have much of a choice other than to be completely unfocused."
"I see. I guess that since it is partially my fault that your notes, for lack of a better word, suck, why don't I let you borrow mine. You seem like you can read my handwriting well enough." Bella said with a giggle.
"How about, instead of me borrowing your notes, I take you out for coffee and we can discuss the lecture. Or actually it would be you explaining to me what the lecture was about really." I said with a nervous smile. I usually don't ask girl out, not after just meeting them anyway. I normally liked to get to know a girl a little before I expressed any real interest. But something about Bella told me that I wasn't going to be able to figure out anything about her in a classroom.
"I'll take you up on that offer, but only if I choose the place we go. I don't really like coffee but I know this place where they sell coffee, and I hear that the coffee's good." Bella said with a sly smile.
"Ok, it's a date. What class do you have next?"
"This was actually my last class for the day. You?"
"This was my last class also. You wanna go to this place of yours now?" I asked hopefully. I didn't know if I could wait till Thursday Biology Lab to see her again. It was only Monday.
"Sure. Let's go."
a/n ok guys. I know that this seems to be going a little slow, but don't worry I have my next chapters written and soon the plot is going to be set in action. Hang with me guys.
