When Eyes Meet
Invitations
Bella-POV
I came home still thinking of my not so wonderful conversation with Edward in the parking lot. Charlie was home early that day. My dad and I never really spend much time together. We're both the social dead-end type. Every once in a while Charlie went doown to La Push to see his freind Billy, Jacob's dad. Jacob is my friend. We were friends for as long as I can remember. Charlie's the cheif police and everyone respects cheif Swan... but I just think of him as good ol' Charlie. My dad. I missed my mom sometimes... She was on a business trip somewhere in Asia... Renee was always on a business trip. She doesn't live with me and Charlie though, My parents divorced when I was really small. I always went with Renee on her trips but since I started school, I just couldn't. So I settled in with Charlie.
I spent the whole night thinking of the fact that I had fell so suddenly for Edward Cullen. Now how on earth had this happened?!? I wasn't the type of girl who would drool over boys. And I never -And I mean it when I say NEVER- had crushes. It was all pointless in my veiw. I always thought I would fall inlove. Crushes just seem so immature... But there was NO WAY that I loved Edward Cullen. C'mon Bells. Be rational. You don't even know the guy. I mentaly slapped myself for being so stupid. I brushed my teeth and finally went to bed. Hoping that I would take a break from all of this stupidity. But instead I dreamt of those green eyes again. Only, this time I knew whose they were. And this just scared me even more. I was not going to let myself dream about Edward. HA HA Bella. HA HA.
I got the next morning feeling pretty craptacular. Because I kept getting the feeling that somthing was missing and this made me wake up thousands of times and i barely got any sleep. Each time I woke up, I checked to see why I felt like something wasn't there. My pillows were there, my sheets were all in place, my ipod was still on my bed side table. Fascinating... I was starting to hillusinate now.
I got dressed in a flash and grabbed something to munch on in my truck as i drove to school. I pulled up in a spot and saw my friends waiting for me at the front of the lot. I walked up to them to say hi. As I was passing I saw Edward and his family standing accross the spot where I had parked. I toom a deep breath and tried really hard not to trip as I made my way towards my freinds. All I needed was to let Edward see how clumsy I really was and the freak impression would last for ever and a day. maybe even forever and a few decades ...
I was just a foot away when Mike flashed this really akward goofy smile and I got all confused and triped. Fabulous. Eric helped me up and Mike made a weird coughing sound followed by an odd expression from tyler. What was going on today?!
"Uhh, What's up?" I asked..... suddenly regretting it, because right then, I saw them holding flyers in their hands. Prom flyers. For Saturday next week, and it all fell into place. Prom. Mike and his smile. Prom. Eric's enthusiasm. Prom!! Tyler's akward coughing... OH NO! They were gonna ask me to .. prom .. I suddenly was thinking of a way to clean this mess up. I said
"Oops, I'll be back in a minute!" I looked at my watch and realized that it was 3 minutes to the bell. Perfect. I could fake going to the bathroom, and then the bell would ring and we'd be off to class and hopefully no one would notice that I was missing. Right. Like that would happen. But I was was prepared to take my chances.
I ran off to the building and waited in a bathroom stall. I was sitting on top of the toilet seat and I heard someone coming in. It was Lauren and a few of her friends. Lauren was the blonde cheerleading type who dates all the jocks. You know, the popular girl who makes all the guys worship her, every school's got one... Ya. Anyway she came in and started talking.
"Anyway I wonder who he's going to ask! I mean, I know it's going to be me... But I bet every girl on campus wishes he's going to ask her. But he wont. Edward wants me."
At the mention of his name, I perked my ears. Why was I interested?! I don't know but I wanted to know also! Who was the green eyed angel going to ask to prom? Not me anyway. So I shouldn't get my hopes up... But if only......
The bell rang and Lauren and her besties (ewwww) left the bathroom and I left too.
**************************************
I was making my way to class when I saw him. He was standing next to some lockers. Lauren and her group were standing a few lockers down, giggling and whispering stuff like all sluts do. and I was behind Lauren's group, by the bathroom door. I saw a gleam in Edward's shinye green eyes, and a smile flashed accross his face. He started walking towards my direction. Or was it Lauren's direction...? Lauren noticed this gesture and looked in his direction, flashing a really cheesy smile. but Edward passed streight past her and her smile turned into an expression of disbeleif. I smirked at her expression as her gaze followed Edward's face in my direction. Then her eyes found mine and her expression became more shocked and my smirked turned into a pure ring of laughter. Edward stood beside me and put a hand on the wall, trapping me between him and the lockers. I blushed. How glorious of me.
