5. Blood Type
Edward was planning to go to Bellas house tonight. But why?
"Edward! Wait!"
"What Alice?" He sounded annoyed.
"Why are you going to her house?"
"I don't know, I want to see her, okay?"
"You are so in love," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I'll be watching, be back soon." He nodded and headed out the door.
The countdown to lunch was unbearable, I couldn't wait to see Edwards plan unfoil. He was planning on sitting with Bella at lunch, because he couldn't go to Biology.
By third period my entire family had heard the buzz about the blood testing going on in Edwards biology class, and we all vowed to stay away from that building, including Edward.
I knew how dissapointed Edward would be that he could not see Bella, which is why I assume he is sitting with her at lunch.
I sighed in releif when the bell rang, I was probably more excited for lunch the Edward himself, although my family disagreed.
"Stupid Edward, how dare he put our lives in danger, my life in danger." Rosalie grumbled to her self as we sat at our table.
"I agree with Rose, lets take him down when we get home Jasper!" Emmetts voice was rising as he pumped his fist in the air.
"Hmm, Agreed." Jasper said with a smile.
I rolled my eyes as I watched Edward sit at a table across the room from us, hoping it would be far enough away that we wouldn't hear what he was saying.Like that would happen, we would be all ears today.
Good luck Edward! I watched as Bella walked calmly over to the table to sit with my brother, risking both their lives.
"Why don't you sit with me today?" Edward said with a huge grin on his face, he was definitly enjoying this more than he should. They sat in silence for what seemed like forever, it was unbearable.
To have a conversation you might actually say something. Edward still didn't talk, but the silence was broken with Bellas words.
"This is different," She seemed unsure what to say, very nervous. Let her know she is welcome, don't let her be nervous.
I knew I would get yelled at for my constant tips later, but Edward really had no clue what he was doing. He would thank me for my expertise later.
"Well..." He started to say, "I decided as long as I was going to hell, I might as well do it thoroughly."
What kind of statement was that? More comments like that, and she will start to figure out we are not human! Edward really did need to be more careful about what he said arond Bella, he should know that.
She has no clue what your talking about, that's good, lets keep it that way. My thoughts were soon reflected in Bellas words,
"You know I don't have any idea what you mean," She pointed out. Drop the subject Edward, she is a clever girl. "I know." Edward said with a smile,
"I think your friends are angry with me for stealing you." I definitly didn't mean that subject, that would lead him nowhere.
"They'll survive." Bella said. I looked up at her group of friends that were glaring at her and Edward.
"I may not give you back, though." Edward cautioned with a wicked glint in his eyes. Edward, enough with the cryptic messages, your leading her on too much.
Bella gulped, and Edward laughed to lighten up the mood.
"You look worried." He chuckled.
"No," Her voice cracked as she said this. Look what you did, you've frightened her. Fix it. I could sense how annoying I was being, but he really did suck at this, it was rather funny.
"Surprised, actually...what brought all this on?"
"I told you -- I got tired of trying to stay away from you. So I'm giving up." Stupid brother, he was ruining us, she already has theories as to what we are. Silly theories, but theories none the less.
"Giving up?"
"Yes -- giving up trying to be good. I'm just going to do what I want now, and let the chips fall where they may." I had a feeling that was directed towards me but I brushed it off, I had more important things to worry about.
Please, try and change the subject Edward, for me, for us. "You lost me again"
"I always say too much when I'm talking to you -- that's one of the problems." Understatement of the year Edward! Why was he not changing the subject!
"Don't worry -- I don't understand any of it," She wasn't lying, her theory was that Edward was mix between Bruce Wayne and Peter Parker, very unoriginal.
"I'm counting on that."
"So, in plain English, are we friends now?" I know you want to be more than friends Edward, tell her that.
"Freinds...," Edward hesistated as he said this, obviously debating telling her that he liked her more than that. Telling her he loved her.
"Or not," Poor Bella, she was being mislead. Take on of two paths Edward, tell her you would like to be more than friends, or warn her that you are not a good friend for her, that she is in danger being around you.
He instantly chose the second path.
"Well, we can try, I suppose. But I'm warning you nowthat I'm not a good friend for you." My family was pleased with his answer.
"Finally he realizes or perspective." Japer whispered. I sighed, I have never met less suportive creatures in my life.
"You say that alot," Bella pointed out.
"Yes, because your not listening to me. I'm still waiting for you to beleive it. If your smart, you'll avoid me."
Edward she took that last part the wrong way, be careful how you word things around her, she finds deeper meanings in simple words.
"I think you've made your opinion on the subject of my intellect clear, too." Told you she took it the wrong way.
Edward smiled apologetically to Bella.
"So, as long as I'm being...not smart, we'll try to be friends"
"That sounds about right." Edward was lucky he fixed that so easily, and he changed the sbject, it was very impressive.
"What are you thinking?" He asked after a long pause.
"I'm trying to figure out what you are." I saw what she suspected, nothing close to the truth. Don't be alarmed, she doesn't have it right, and don't look so scared.
"Are you having any luck with that?" His tone was still off, even though I reassured him she had it wrong. He should definitly be calm now, she was blushing.
"Won't you tell me?" He pleaded. She shook her head,
"Too embarrasing"
"That's really frustrating you know," He sounded genuinly angry.
"No," She disagreed.
"I can't imagine why that would be frustrating at all -- just because someone refuses to tell you what they're thinking even if all the while they're making cryptic remarks specifically designed to keep you up at night wondering what they could possibly mean...now, why would that be frustrating?"
She has a temper doesn't she? I laughed as Edward grimaced at her.
"Or better," How much more could she have?
"say that person also did a wide range of bizarre things -- from saving your lifeunder impossible circumstances one day to treating you like a pariah the next, and never eplained any of that, either, even after he promised. That, also, would be very non-frustrating."
Told she is very perceptive, a little too perceptive. Think before you speak alright?
"You've got a bit of a temper, don't you"
"I don't like double standards." She's cooling down, be civilized now. Edward unexpectadly laughed, I wondered why, and apparently so did Bella.
"What?" She asked.
"Your boyfriend thinks I'm being unpleasant to you -- he's debating wether or not to come break up our fight." Mature Edward, very mature.
But sure enough Mike Newton was debating wether or not to come get Bella.
"I don't know who you're talking about," She said coldly. "But I'm sure your wrong , anyway"
"I'm not. I told you most people are easy to read"
"Except me, of course." She suspects you can read minds, Edward. She has for a while.
"Yes. Except for you." He said, becoming suddenly curious. "I wonder why that is." Stop staring, she's getting freaked out, Now say something!
"Aren't you hungry"
"No." She didn't want to tell him that her stomach was full of butterflies, that was cute. "You?" Our table started snickering, and I could see Edward holding back laughter as well.
"No, I'm not hungry."
"Can you do me a favor?" She asked, hesitantly. Hmm, she just wants him to warn her next time he ignores her, atleast it was nothing major.
"That depends on what you want"
"It's not much," She said. It really isn't, don't be frightened.
"I just wondered...if you could warn me beforhand the next time you decide to ignore me for my own good. Just do I'm prepared."
"That sounds fair." Edward said calmly. See nothing to be worried about, Eddie. I laughed at his nickname, that he despised. I would be in trouble tonight.
"Thanks"
"Then can I have one answer in return?" Edward! It's rude to trick things out of people!
"One"
"Tell me one theory"
"Not that one." She was internally kicking herself right now.
"You didn't qualify, you just promised one answer." He reminded her.
"And you've broken promises yourself," she said. She is right, you know.
"Just one theory -- I won't laugh." Yes you will, this one is hilarious!
"Yes you will." Even she knew he would laugh at the theory. It was too late now though, he was dazzling her.
"Please?" He breathed, as he leaned towards her.
"Er, what?" I laughed at his abilitly to make her mid go blank like that.
"Please tell me just one little theory?"
"Um, well, bitten by a radioactive spider?" My entire family, including myself, burst out laughing, it was amazing that Edward still hadn't cracked.
"That's not very creative," Edward scoffed.
"I'm sorry, that's all ive got," she still seemed a little dazed.
"Youre not even close," he stifled a giggle.
"No spiders"
"Nope"
"And no radioactivity?" She really needed to stop thinking super heroes.
"None"
"Dang," she sighed.
"Kryptonite doesn't bother me, either," We all cracked up again, including Edward this time.
"Your not supposed to laugh, remember?" Bella reminded him.
"I'll figure it out eventually," she warned. Edward she's serious, do everything in your power to make sure she doesn't. Our entire table was slick with worry now.
"I wish you wouldn't try." He said seriously.
"Because...?" She trailed off.
"What if i'm not a superhero? What if i'm the bad guy?" When I said do everything in your power to make sure she didn't find out, I did not mean give her hints.
"Oh," she whispered. "I see." We all went stiff, did she really see? No, we were all good, she didn't quite see everything, but Edward was not helping our cause.
"Do you?" He sounded frantic and worried. Calm Edward, she doesn't see everything.
"Your dangerous?" She guessed. "But not bad," she had no idea how bad he was. "No, I don't beleive your bad."
"Your wrong" Edward murmured. I realized that we had gotten carried away in the conversation, and it was time to go to class.
What ever you do, don't go to class. I warned, before walking out of the cafeteria.
The blood testing was not going smoothly for Bella, she was on the verge of fainting. Mr. Banner was going to get someone to take her to the nurse, Mike Newton.
That would infuriate Edward, but it wouldn't wreck his chances. Edward is planning on taking Bella to the nurse as he sees Mike dragging her on the sidewalk.
He also, for a moment, planned on kicking Mike in the face, but shook that out of his head quickly.
They were in the nurses office now, and Lee Stephens was heading in, but unlike Bella he pricked his finger, this would be problematic for Bella and Edward.
Edwards thoughts reamained on keeping Bella safe and trying to ignore the blood as he warned Bella to go out into the main office. I furrowed my brow as their futures changed.
He was going to take her home, and she would allow him to. She planned on taking her truck, but he wouldn't allow it. Oh, great, I would be bringing it home to her later tonight.
She invited him to go to La Push with her, thank goodness he planned on saying no. I couldn't image what it would mean for us if he broke the treaty and crossed onto the wolves territory.
The rest of their drive remained uneventful, she quizzed him on his life, but said nothing that hinted she knew we weren't human, I was releived at that. I jumped as the bell rang, ending class.
I headed towards the parking lot where my family sat, looking irritated. Edward was not back yet, and it was raining rather hard.
"Does he care for no one but himself? What a selfish creature, putting a girl before his very own family. Look at my hair!" Rosalie grumbled.
Thankfully Edward pulled up then, and we drove home in silence. They don't plan on speaking to you for a while. Edward nodded. At least they won't blow up on you later, right?
"Yes, Alice," he whispered.
"Your planning on going back again tonight?" His future told me that he would go back to Bellas house for the night.
"Yes, I do plan on that"
"Oh, Edward! You love her don't you?"
"No, Alice, I just want her to be safe"
"You can't deny it forever, Edward. Love has a way of putting itself before everything else in life. It's uncontrollable." He sighed, and shook his head at me.
He would come arond eventually, it was in his future. I smiled as I walked out of his room, knowing he would be just as complete as the rest of us soon.
