Chapter Seven
Bella's Point of View
I shut the door and leaned against it for a second. Then it finally hit me, I just got asked out my Edward Cullen!
"I just got asked out." I said running into the living room and flopping onto the couch.
"Took the boy long enough!" Rose said.
"You are such a downer, Rose!" I said.
"I just state the facts!" She replied.
"Who cares? My little sister has a date with Edward Cullen!" Alice exclaimed.
"I like that boy. He might be a vampire but, he is closer to human kind by his mind reading. They are all different then other vampires. The way he looked at you, or the way he growled when someone said something insulting about you, he loves you Bell." Mom smiled, "I approve."
"Thank you, mom!" I said and gave her a hug.
"You're welcome. Now off to bed you three. You have school tomorrow!" She said pushing us to the stairs. I never knew time could pass that quickly. We all ran upstairs and into our rooms. I dressed quickly and went to bed. I fell asleep quickly and deeply.
I awoke in the morning feeling fresh and excited. I smelled Edward's scent in my room but shrugged it off. I must really be going insane.
I got up, got dressed and brushed my teeth. I waked down the staircase and into the kitchen to grab my bag.
"Hey Bella, you go on ahead and take your car. I'll bring ms. Slowpoke we call a sister." Rose said.
"I heard that!" Alice yelled from in her room.
"Alright, I'll see you at school." I walked out the front door and got into my lime green Volkswagen beetle. I loved it.
I parked in the parking lot and everyone was staring at this one spot. I looked over and seen Edward with the rude strawberry blonde-haired woman from last night. I felt a little bit of jealousy but soon got over it when I seen that he looked annoyed. I got out of the car and began to walk to my locker.
"Bella!" I turned to see Edward walking up to me.
"Oh, hey." I said with a smile.
"Hey, how are you this morning?" he asked as we continued to walk to my locker.
"Pretty good. So it looks like we have new students." I said as I opened my locker and put my books in.
"Yeah, they have to keep up appearances too so Irina, Kate and Tanya have transferred here." He explained.
"That's cool." I said.
"You really think so?" He looked at me surprisingly.
"Don't you?" I asked.
"To tell you the truth… no. Tanya gets on my last nerve." He said.
"How is that?" I asked looking at him.
"It's nothing really."
"Edward just tell me."
"Well, she sort of has a little well, a big crush on me, for a lack of a better term."
"I would have never guessed." I said sarcastically.
He chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck with the palm of his hand.
"please don't let her bother you though." He said to me almost pleadingly.
"I won't Edward. I promise." I said to him.
"Hey Edward." We turned and seen the blonde from last night walk up to us. She looked at me, "Hi, you're Bella right? I'm Kate." She held out her hand and I shook it.
"Hi." I greeted.
"What classes do you two have first period?" Kate asked.
"I have English." I said.
"I have history." Edward replied.
"Oh! I have English with you Bella!" She smiled.
"Great." I smiled.
"Alright, I'll see you there!" She said and walked away.
"Is she a nice one or one that I shouldn't let bother me?" I asked Edward.
"She's nice, she's the collected one of the family. The ones you watch out for are Irina and Tanya. They don't like change unless it is good for them." He said.
"And I wouldn't go in the good category." I sighed.
"If it makes you feel any better, you're in my good category." He smiled.
"You're in mine too." I smiled back.
"So, do you want to go out this Friday?" He asked.
"You know that's tomorrow right?"
"Yes."
"Sure. But, what are we doing so I know what to wear."
He chuckled and said, "Nothing fancy I was thinking dinner and a movie."
"Sounds good." I replied. "Just think, yesterday I thought we were enemies. And here we are, going out on a date."
He smiled, "Well yesterday I just thought you were a beautiful human, then I figured out you are so much more."
"You think I'm beautiful?" I asked.
"Extremely." He smiled and I found myself leaning in and he was too.
"Hey guys!" We jumped and looked to see Tanya, she looked a little too happy to break us up. "Sorry, did I interrupt something.
"No." I said and at the same time, Edward said, "Yes."
I gave him a look that said, 'be polite.' He sighed.
"well I was wondering what classes you two have this morning." Tanya asked. She was obviously just asking Edward so I didn't say anything.
"I have history." Edward sighed. He tensed up. Uh-oh.
"Same here!" She smiled and said, "See you then!" while walking toward the history building.
"Something tells me that wasn't a mistake." I mumbled.
"You promised it wouldn't bother you." Edward said.
"It's just a little hard, considering she's throwing herself at you." I said.
"But I don't want her. You're the one I asked out, not her. remember that." He said to me.
"Alright, well, I got to get to class. I'll see you during math." I said and walked to the English building where I met up with Rose, Alice and Kate.
