Okay fabulous readers. Here is your chapter 7.
I realize that the first day of school has been like 6 of these chapters.. I know a lot, but so much to explain on the first chapter will be a wrap-up of day 1. So sort of a filler, but not really. Whatever:
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight and it's characters. I OWN Joe, Mel, and Rachel.
Please R&R
Chapter 7
Both of us unwilling to break our gazes from the other, had no choice when the bell rang.
"Hope to see you soon Bella Swan," he said as he reluctantly got up to leave.
Yep my plan to stay unattached to this town just got ten times more complicated.
I was in a daze as I walked to gym. Edward's words still in my mind:
beautiful, slightly trouble magnetic, but still amazing sister who I would be getting as well.
He said I. As in he would be getting me. And beautiful and amazing. No one uses those words when it comes to describing me.
Maybe he was just trying to be nice to the new girl.
But those deep green eyes that stared into mine not even five minutes ago felt like so much more.
But it just doesn't make sense for someone so beautiful and perfect to like me.
I was still lost in the thought of Edward that I hadn't realized I had passed the gym door 3 times and that I was going to be late for another class.
I walked into the gym and saw a tall muscular middle age man who I assumed was Coach Clapp, calling student's names. Good he didn't notice I was late.
Everyone was sitting on the bleachers talking to one another while they waited for the teacher to call their name. It looked like they were getting their gym uniforms and locker assignments.
I hope this means that we will not be getting dressed today. I think I have fallen down and made a fool of myself enough for one day.
I was walking over to a spot on the end of the bleachers when I noticed, you know who, walking over to me. Was this suppose to be some sort of sick joke? I looked toward the ceiling. Why keep sticking Newton on me? Who did I kill in a past life?
Before he got close enough I heard a familiar voice call my name from a top of the bleachers. I looked up to see Emmet standing up waving me over while giving Mike a death glare, stare at the same time.
I made my way up the bleachers to sit next to Emmet. Was this not what friends do? Sit next to each other in gym. I didn't want to make too many friends, but I needed this friendship.
I glanced over at Mike backing a way from where I previously stood.
I looked at becoming friends with Emmet as a method of survival.
It took me by surprise when a little burst of energy hopped out from behind Emmet's back.
"Hi Bella! I still love that top on you. Has Edward seen you in it yet? Did Edward like it? I bet he did!"
"Alice," I said shaking my head at her. "Are you ever going to let this 'Edward and Bella' thing go?"
"Nope!"
"Well I sit next to Edward in AP Biology if you must know," I said shyly.
"Aw that's so sweet. You two are nerds together. Both of you are in a class that you are not even required to take."
This caused Emmet to start laughing. I just blushed.
Once we got our uniforms, I threw mine in my gym locker. My locker of course was right next to Alice's. In the alphabet C is no where near S. Something tells me a certain pixie had a hand in the locker assignments.
I was so relieved when the final bell rang to leave. I left immediately through the gym doors to the outside. I didn't have anything in my regular locker to get. All I wanted to do was get the heck out of here before I ran into Mike or anyone else.
Oh crap. I had to wait for Joe to come out. I didn't know if he was going to look for me at my locker or come out to the truck.
When I got to my truck I decided to text him.
Joe, meet me at the truck. Can't wait to hear about your day
Love, Bells.
I decided to warm up the car while I waited. Just as I imagined it would this morning, I started the truck and was greeted with the monster roar that gained the attention of the whole parking lot. I just kept my head down as I busied myself with finding Joe's favorite CD, Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory.
While I was looking for the CD, I came across my Debussy CD. I don't know what made me do it, but I slipped the disk into the player. As the sound filled the cab, I closed my eyes to enjoy the music.
Thud.
My eyes shot open as I realized something hit my car. I glanced out of my driver's side window to see a laughing Emmet with his nose pushed against the glass, and a piece of paper in his hands.
I rolled my window down, "Jeez Emmet! What do you want? You almost gave me a heart attack!"
"Chill Bella, I was just delivering this love not from our dear Eddi-"
"God Emmet don't bend the paper," said an annoyed but still smooth voice.
Edward.
"Sorry Eddie Boy, Bella won't be able to read it if it was bent up. Will she?"
"Em shut up," he said while turning from Emmet to look at me, "Sorry about that Bella. My brother seems to think that class rules are romantic."
He then snatched the paper out of Emmet's hands.
"Class rules? Seriously Edward? That's no way to win a girl's heart," said a now annoyed Emmet before he turned to walk away. Leaving Edward and me alone.
"Again, sorry Bella. I forgot to give these to you in class," he said while handing me the sheet of paper.
"Um that's okay Edward. Thanks."
We stood, -well I sat-, facing each other in silence. And then he spoke softly.
"Bella, before in the classroom, I didn't mean to come off as too intense, but it's just tha-"
"Don't worry about it Edward. There's nothing to explain. I'm fine. I have already forgotten what happened in Biology. There is nothing to forget actually.." I trailed off from my rambling. I'm sure I made no sense. I wondered if I was even speaking English.
He opened his mouth to respond only to be cut off by Joe opening the passenger door and sliding in.
"Hey Bella are you ready," he asked. Not waiting for a response he continued with a groan, "And Bells I thought I hid all the classical crap."
"Sorry," I mouthed to Edward as I rolled up my window and pulled out of the lot. I didn't dare look in the rear view mirror to see the angel I was leaving behind.
"So Bells, how was your first day," my brother asked in attempts to pull me out of the glum mood that I had fallen into.
"Oh you know, just like any other first day. How was yours?"
"Besides dealing with Newton, it was great," he stopped and looked at me with cautious eyes.
"Well tell me about this "Great" day," I demanded while giving him my best smile I could muster.
This seemed to be all Joe needed to go into a long, detailed description of his day. Giving me the complete play by play of it. I made sure to smile and give the appropriate comments in all the right places.
When we arrived home I just wanted to go directly to my room, but instead I had to deal with the parents typical questioning. How was your first day Bella?? Were the students nice? How long did you have to stay in the nurse for this time Bella? Is your head doing okay? Whose shirt is that Bella? It's adorable on you! You fell again?
You know the typical questions
After getting past them, I went to my room. I closed the door and leaned against it. I stared at my room. It was just how I had left it.
I kicked off my shoes at the door and made my way over to my bed. I sat down and decided to do my AP Biology homework. It turned out to actually be pretty easy. When I finished it I got up and turned on my CD player. Death Cab for Cutie's CD Plans came on. (Try saying Death Cab for Cutie's CD 10 x fast)
I walked back over to my bed and flopped down. I then curled up into a ball under the covers. My body felt so tired, but my mind was thinking at a pace of 1 million thoughts a minute. (Fast I know)
I had thoughts of Alice the over hyper pixie. Angela and the paper. Stupid Newton and my falls. Those emerald green eyes. Rosalie, Emmet, Jasper,
and.. Edward.
Those words that Alice said replayed over and over again in my mind:
...you love my brother and he loves you..
And his words:
...beautiful, slightly trouble magnetic, but still amazing girl he has for a sister, who I would be getting..
Absorbed in my thoughts I was left with the feeling of confusion. Though I somehow managed to drift into sleep as "I Will follow you into the Dark" began playing.
The dreams that followed did not hold confusion, but were peaceful. It left me with the peace that had allowed me to sleep into the morning. The best night of sleep I have had since moving to Forks.
Sleeping through dinner and Joe's attempts to wake me. All the while dreaming of those emerald green eyes, that crooked smile, that velvety voice. But most importantly the understanding and care I thought I saw in those eyes and the kindness of his words. I had to be mistaken.
Love it? Hate it? Undecided? : )
The first day is finally over!! Sorry it was so long, I just had so much to put into it.
Now I might have a whole week in one chapter. You never know, but no day will probably be 6 chapters again.
Please Review! It motivates me!
However I don't think I will be able to update again until the weekend. Unless I find sometime tomorrow!
Sorry!
Love,
Jane
