EPOV
As I sped down the back road I whipped my head around, craning my neck as I looked for the flash of black. Where the fuck did he go? Out of nowhere the Camaro pulled out in front of me, driven by the world's largest douche. Emmett started running his mouth, shouting words that would make his mother blush, from the passenger seat while flicking James off. My engine roared as I gunned it trying to catch up and he was gone. He must have turned down a side road hoping to lose us. I sure as hell wasn't going to waste my time trying to find him.
Stupid ass punk. Always running away. One day we were going to meet head to head and I was going to kick his ass. I drove on towards the school and slid into a spot in the senior parking lot. I had my top down enjoying the dry weather; it wouldn't last long and my baby needed to feel the wind on her leather every once in a while. My baby was a 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass with dark orange paint, white top and leather seats. V-8 with glass packed mufflers. She and I turned heads everywhere we went with her glossy paint and throaty purr. There was no bringing chicks home late at night in this thing. That's okay, I liked the thrill of sneaking around anyway.
"Seniors Rule!" Emmett yelled as we walked toward the school. I rolled my eyes. I was the only one of us that had a car. Well, at least a functional car. Emmett had a work in progress and it was going to be sweet when finished but as of right now it was a total piece of crap. So until he could drive himself I had to pick him and Jasper up and drive their asses all over town.
I put up the top and shrugged on my jacket. I'd found it in a vintage clothing shop in Seattle last year. Black leather jacket, black tee and jeans. Foregoing my usual boots, I was letting my green suede one star Chucks see a little sun. My panty dropper shoes. No girl had ever passed me up when I was wearing these shoes. It was time to put these bad boys to use.
Emmett and Jasper walked across the lawn to talk to some girls and I spotted someone I wanted to get to know better. Jules was a sophomore but over the summer she started to fill out in all the right places. I gave her my smile and she melted on the spot. Too easy. I ran my hands through my hair to go for the kill and asked her about her summer.
Just then Rosalie Hale pulled up and I couldn't help but look. She drove a vintage '49 Plymouth that was the slickest candy apple red I had ever laid eyes on. I looked over at Emmett and he couldn't decide what to ogle first. Rose or the car? My eyes were glued to the car. It was a classic, beautiful but strong at the same time. The kind of car you just wanted to get behind the wheel of and own. Emmett seemed to have the same thought running through his head, as he shifted uncomfortably on the sidewalk. But not about the car.
Alice Brandon hopped out of the car along with Angela and Jessica. They huddled together whispering about something and walked into school. Rose took her time. Putting her jacket on and getting her bags. Leaning over she put on a show on for everyone to see. Her legs were a mile long and her long blonde hair was perfect as usual. She shot a look at Emmett and then smirked over at me. Five guys followed her into the school unaware that they had no chance with this goddess.
The bell rang so I looked back at Jules, who was smiling at me and looking up at my face all dreamy. "I'll call you later" I told her and gave her a wink. She could replay that in her head the rest of the day. I was literally The Big Man on Campus. No one could touch me. My shit was so hot I did whoever I wanted, whenever I wanted. My only rival to popularity was Rosalie and she obviously was not competition. In fact, she was my main ally.
"Hey Cullen!" Crowley came jogging across the lawn, eager to get up in my game. I wasn't into hero worship, and it was too early in the damn morning to have him hovering.
I turned to my locker and shoved some stuff inside. I really should have cleaned this out at the end of last year. I didn't know mold grew in that color. "What's up Tyler? How was your summer?"
"Hung around here, nothing much. Just the same old chicks everybody made, he laughed. "How about you, how was the action at the beach?" I sighed. I could not believe he actually said "action".
"The beach was great. And I did meet this one girl…" I started, then paused, thinking, why was I telling him this? Thankfully I could hear Emmett causing a scene down the hall and turned to go check it out.
Emmett was down the hall with Ms. Esme, the principal, and their eyes were locked in a stare down.
"Mr. McCarty, did I just see you coming out of the ladies room?" she asked. Of course she did. Emmett had no boundaries and spent his life in detention.
"Er…no, Ms. Esme, I was turned around. No big deal. Just walking to class, cool?" he backpedaled. Even Emmett didn't want to get stuck afterschool on the first day. He was such a dumbass sometimes. I laughed to my self and ducked into my homeroom. Now that I had a minute to myself I let my mind wander to Bella. I wondered what she was doing now? How her first day of school was? I bet she looked hot. I imagined her in her little bikini, the tie slipping around her neck…Shit! I did not want to get a hard on in homeroom, like I was a fucking 13 year old. Thankfully the announcements started and I distracted myself by half listening and thinking about anything else to keep my mind off of Bella.
Ms. Esme rambled on about the typical school stuff. I could not wait to get out of this place. Once June came around I was leaving this town and never coming back. Ms. Esme droned on and I heard her say something about the pep rally on Friday, blah, blah, the science club meeting, blah, and Sweet 16…wait. What was that?
"I am proud to announce that Lauren Mallory has been selected to participate in the hit MTV show Sweet 16 this year. During the next couple of months a TV crew will be on campus to film Lauren as she prepares for this exciting occasion. I expect you all to show the nation what fine, upstanding students we have here at Forks High". Well, I thought, that could be interesting. I always knew I'd look good on TV.
The bell rang and the morning passed quickly as we made the rounds through our schedule and caught up with each other after the summer break. At lunch I walked out towards the bleachers. The guys always had lunch out here as we made fun of the kids in PE. Emmett, Tyler and a couple other guys were all sitting on the steps. I looked around for Jasper and finally found him. As usual he was acting like a perv.
"Hey Jasper! Did you lose something?" I yelled across the stands. He was under the bleachers looking up girls skirts. I swear sometimes he is still in junior high. The two girls in question screamed and one kicked him as they bolted back inside. He looked over at me and I could tell he was pissed.
"What did you do that for Edward? Sarah had on a pink thong. That shit is hot. Who knew the preacher's kid wore underwear like that?" He asked rubbing his shoulder where he had been kicked.
Huh? Well, I knew. But I decided to keep that to myself. Part of my persona was keeping my mouth shut. I talked the talk but personal stuff about girls was off limits, they seemed to prefer it that way. Apparently, my closed mouth made me seem quiet and mysterious. Whatever worked, as long as I was still getting into their pants.
Everyone sat around talking about music, cars and girls. This year for shop we were going to work on Emmett's car. It would be pretty damn cool. Suddenly Emmett asked, "Did any of you see that new girl today? She sure beats the chicks around this place."
New girl? Part of me felt the urge to go check her out immediately, before the other guys got to her, but then something held me back. Unfortunately, I knew what that something was.
"So, Edward, tell us about the girl at the beach!" Tyler pushed. I couldn't believe he remembered I'd said that. I shifted and said, "It was nothing."
Jasper looked skeptical. "Yeah right Edward. You don't waste your time on nothing."
I smirked. This was true. "Nah, you don't want all the horny details." I laughed, knowing, this was exactly what they wanted. "You know my type, blonde, built and easy to seduce."
They all started yelling, wanting more than that. "Alright! I'll tell you! I met this girl and we hung out the whole time. We went to the beach, and to dinner and all that kind of shit." There maybe that would be enough.
Wrong. "What kind of hot are we talking about, Edward?" Emmett pressed.
I thought about Bella. "Super hot. Flaming hot. Make you melt when you look at her hot. It was all I could do to not rip her clothes off every time we were together. And that is all I'm saying!" I added. Subject closed. They heard my tone and moved onto other things.
I hated this. I was not used to thinking about one girl all the time. Especially one I couldn't have because she lived half a country away. I missed her so much. I wanted to bite her mouth and grab her hair with my hands while pulling her tight body closer and closer until she was with me all the time. I wanted to see that look in her eye that told me she wanted only me. And I wanted to give it right back.
