When Eyes Meet

Encounter

Bella-POV

Biology was finally over and i started packing slowly. Completely self concious, I knew he was watching me... I just couldn't understand why! I noticed Mike's arm around my waist but i had no time to deal with this. I slowly made my way out of the classroom and into the hall. So absorberd in my thoughts that I didn't see where I was going. I "thought" I was going to gym... where i should be going but ofcourse being the total klutz that i am, I just HAD to hit a brick wall, my notes went flying everywhere... I looked up confused, expecting a wall. But NOOOOO I had to hit Emmett Cullen. Lovely...

"Oops" I mumbled.... "S-ssorry"....

Emmett boomed out laughing. I shrinked back. That guy was BIG and i mean, BIG! I always knew he was a tough guy, but i never got this close.

"No problem little lady!!" He said between laughs.

I had no idea what to say. Akward situations just weren't exactly my best subject. O Joy. Isn't that a surprise.
I bent down to gather my notes, but someone had already beat be to that, i turned around, looking for the person I was going to thank, I scanned the halways, looked past the lockers on the right, my back, and then suddenly did a double take. WHAT?!

Ok so as far as akward situations go, I've been in every kind you can think of. But this, was just way too much for me.

Edward Cullen was standing on my right, holding my notes and binder, looking like a god, ofcourse, if gods could look really shocked and scowl their older brother that is... He looked as if he was shocked that no emotions could find their way onto his beautiful features. Well ofcourse that was the case. I must look like a total dork right now.

I opened my mouth to say something. But nothing was coming out. Me being me, I just stood there. Gaping at him. And he was gaping at me! O no.. He thinks i'm a freak, I had to make this stop. Now. All I had to do was muster up allll the bits and shards of courage i could to say: Thanks. And then a little bit more for stretching my arms and taking my stuff from him then simply walk away. HA! like it would be that easy. Instead I said "Oops" again. And Emmett started laughing again! O-MY-GOD. I will hide under a rock until I die and this is all forgotten. I was starting to consider running away and leaving my stuff with him, memoirs from the freak who no one ever saw after this day, yup I was really going to do it. Until ...

"Bella..." He said.

..............

"Bella??" This time he said it with a more worried tone. "Bella are you ok? Answer me"

I was ok. I was better than OK. He, Edward Cullen, was speaking to me, Bella Swan. For the firstest time ever. wow. Like I said. Brain Freeze.
This time I knew I had to say something. Maybe I could take away the weirdo impression. just maybe...

"Thanks" I said so low even I could barely hear.
I took my books and looked at him. He. Was. Smiling.
Come on Bells. you can do this, you smile. It's not hard, you've done it millions of times before, just twitch your lip mucels alittle upward..
HAHA. Pep talk from myself to my self. I was a freak after all.
But anyway I knew i had to. I forced a smile. His dazzeling smile flashed even brighter. Wait... where'd my breathe go?! He smiled so beautifuly I just had to do something. HA! Like I actually could, or would... leave it to me to leave a freaksome impression.

The so-called encounter had mesmerized me so, that i didn't even realize Mike was still standing beside me. Flashing looks from my face, to Edward's, and back to me again. He was obviously as confused as I was. But thank god for Mike, because this time he saved me.

"Bella we gotto go we'll be late for gym. You too Cullen, don't you have a class to attened?" He shot at Edward, Taking my elbow and getting ready to leave.

"Ofcourse Mike. Thank you for being so conciderate." He flashed a smile at me once more and started walking to his next class with Emmett... who was still laughing.

******************************

All the while in gym i was thinking of him, his smile, and his eyes. He's green, green eyes. The coach didn't really mind. He always let me sit around. He didn't want me to kill anoyone or hurt myself or anything. Mike obviously knew I was thinking and that i wasn't myself. Because he kept flashing these worried glances in my direction. But to keep him off of my back, I smiled at him reasuringly and gave him a thumbs up for his game.

Gym passed also and i headed to the parking lot to get in my truck and just GO. Today had been just too confusing for me. I was making my way to my truck when suddenly, Edward Cullen cought up with me.

"Hello Bella" He had said with a warm smile. I stopped. He stopped and stood beside me. In the middle of the lot. How lovely.

"Hi" I said.

"I'm sorry about earlier today, Emmett just can't contain himself, he's too much of a child to be a senior." He said, shaking his haid, and grinning, we both turned to look at Emmett who was holding hands with Rosalie. He waved back at us and grinned really evil.

"Not a problem" I said. barely audible. "Thanks.. for uh.. gathering my stuff off the floor" I said, forcing a smile at the very end. Just to be nice.

"Not a problem" He said, grinning. I felt my Face go blank. And he was gone.

a/n ok everybody so i tried to make this one longer! and i think you've noticed that my writing changed a little bit from deep and well written to very "Bella" :D that's just because this was a Bella POV. :) plz reveiw. i want to make sure i make it as good as possible!
