"Hey Bella," Emmett yelled as he started running over.
"Hi Emmett," I greeted when he was a foot away from me. He picked me up into a hug, and I gasped in pain. The pain almost made me pass out.
"Emmett, let her go," Angela commanded. I was dropped, and Angela helped me before I fell completely. "You alright," she asked quietly, so that I was the only one to hear it. I nodded.
"Angela," Ben called as he ran over. He was smiling the whole way.
"Hi Ben," she greeted.
"Hey Bella," Ben smiled at me.
"Hello," I stated while looking at my shoes. I looked up to notice that all the Cullen's were around us, and Edward was scrutinizing me. I looked away from his gaze.
"Bella, did you do the essay," Ben questioned.
"Oh course," I smiled.
"Ben, one thing you should know about Bella is that she is infatuated with English," Angela snickered. I shot a glare at her.
"You really do like books then," Edward stated. I nodded.
"Angela, I need to go to one of my classes and see if I could get some help on some homework before I fail," I stated. She knew the meaning.
"Alright, but hurry up afterwards," she replied. "We wouldn't want you to fail." I quickly walked off to the building, and I heard footsteps behind me. I turned my head to see that it was Edward.
"Do you like following me," I questioned.
"We're heading the same way, aren't we," he asked. "So that would mean that I'm not following you officially. It means that I'm taking the same way as you."
"Alright then," I sighed before walking into the building. I held the door open for him, and I saw my sleeve come up a bit. A cut was prominent there, so I quickly dropped my arm before he could see it.
"See ya later," I stated before walking off towards my trigonometry classroom. "Mrs. Winny?" She was staring into a textbook. "I was wondering if—."
"No, I do not help with homework, Bella," she interrupted me. "Now if that was what you wanted, you know where the door is." I nodded before walking out of the classroom. I ran a hand through my hair and sighed in frustration.
"He's going to kill me this time," I stated, not thinking that there was anyone around.
"Who's going to kill you," Edward questioned roughly as he detached himself from the wall.
"No one, Edward," I answered as I spun around to look at him. "When did you get there?"
"I've been here the whole time," he stated. "Now don't change the subject."
"No one's going to kill me, Edward," I said. "My uncle just wants me to have the best grades and Trigonometry isn't my forte."
"I could help you, if that's what you'd like," he suggested. "We could work together after school if that's what you want."
"I don't think that's such a great idea," I answered.
"Why not," he questioned.
"I just don't want to use up all your time," I lied. I knew for a fact that my uncle wouldn't want me to get tutored at all, no matter if it was my idea or not. He thought that it was a weakness. Uncle James is a strong believer in survival of the fittest.
"No, it's alright," he stated. "I wouldn't mind."
"My uncle would say no," I stated.
"Why," he questioned.
"He just wants me home by the time he's home from work," I replied.
"When's that," he questioned.
"Four thirty," I replied.
"That would give you at least an hour after school, Bella," Edward stated.
"I have to cook also," I informed him.
"Doesn't your aunt do that," he questioned.
"She's a bad cook," I stated. I had no clue how her cooking really was, but I was waiting for him to finally get a clue. He didn't though.
"Bella, you need help on trigonometry," he stated. "I'm good at math, but if you can't do it, then find someone's help."
"Fine," I sighed. "Right after school. I'll meet you in the library."
"Alright then," he smiled. We both walked different ways, and I was soon in my first hour class.
School went fast today, and then when we were in lunch, Angela and I were more talkative. Soon enough, it was after school. I walked to the library to find that he was already in it.
"Hey," he greeted. I waved a little bit with a smile before sitting down. "So what do you need help on?"
"Everything," I stated.
"Trigonometry really isn't your forte, as I said before," I sighed as I sunk into the comfortable chair. I let out a smile as I closed my eyes.
"Bella, why don't we start, and you can have rest time later since I've got a time limit." I sighed and nodded. He started helping me with everything from the beginning of the book since I didn't understand what we were doing there either. I kept glancing at the clock, making sure that I would have enough time to get home and make a quick meal.
"Are you getting this Bella," Edward questioned when he caught me looking at the clock once again. I nodded. "Alright, then I want you to do this problem." I did it, and he smiled with satisfaction as he read over my results. "You did great."
"Thanks," I stated. "But I've got to go now."
"Are you sure," he questioned. I nodded. "Alright, I'll see you tomorrow. Are we going to do this again?" I bit my lip, unsure of what I should do. "Please Bella. I really want you to get this, and me explaining it seems to help you a lot."
"Alright," I sighed before glancing at the clock. "But now, I've got to go." I ran out of the school and to my truck. When I reached home, I had enough time for a quick meal to fix, and then they came home. I smiled at how these things were turning out for me. I hoped that it would stay that way.
