Hey Everyone!! Thanks for the reviews!!! I have a goal now. I want to hit the hundred mark before I update!!! I really need help with it, so read and REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!!!
I reluctantly pulled out my notebook, trying not to look at the empty seat next to me. Why was he sluffing? I didn't know, until the teacher stood up and began explaining what we would be doing that day.
"Okay, class, today we'll be blood testing."
Shoot.
"Everyone will get a pin and a slide. Poke your finger and let a drop of blood…" I suddenly gagged. What was he thinking? Why didn't he warn us before hand?
My hand shot up into the air, and when he called on me, I said, "I already know my blood type. May I go?"
He and the class chuckled. "Miss Swan, this is 35% of your grade. I suggest you stay, unless you have an excuse note."
I nodded and closed my eyes, waiting for the torture that was to come. I slowly opened my eyes when I noticed he was talking again. I watched him, trying not to throw up. 'What is wrong with me?' I thought.
All heck broke lose when he pricked Mike's finger. My head instantly swam, making the room spin. I gripped the edge of the desk and closed my eyes, breathing in and out slowly. I raised my hand shakily into the air and said, "I need to go to the nurse."
I opened my eyes and saw the teacher looking at me in shock. "Yes, go. Mike, help her."
"No, I can do it by myself," I tried, but Mike had me out of my seat and was already to the door when I finished. He opened it and helped me out, keeping an arm around my waist and my arm around his shoulders. He kept trying to talk to me, but I didn't care. I was focusing on the ground and how far the nurse's office was.
After a few seconds, I said, "I need to sit down."
Mike helped me to the ground and I sat down, my head in between my knees. I breathed slowly, trying not to pass out. I didn't notice another person near me till I felt a hand on my arm. My head snapped up, making the world spin uncontrollably. I saw Edward Cullen, looking worried at me. I smiled weakly and said, "Hi."
" Come on, we need to get you to the nurse now," he said, instantly picking me up bridal style.
"Hey! I was supposed to help her!" Mike fought.
"Put me down!" I demanded.
Edward smiled and said, "Go back to class, Newton." Mike looked at him shocked, then turned slowly around and began back to class. Edward turned around and began to walk to the nurse's office, carrying me and swaying slightly. I closed my eyes and focused on my breathing. "Please put me down. You carrying me is not helping."
I opened an eye a slit and he said, "Nope, we're almost there." He amazingly opened the door and walked up to the secretary's desk without dropping me. When the secretary saw us, she gasped, and Edward said, "We need the nurse."
She stood up and led
us to the back room. There was a twin bed against the wall and Edward
set me down on it. She left the room and returned with an ice bag and
a glass of water. "The nurse will be in here in a moment."
I
nodded my head slowly and softly, and she left. I closed my eyes and
laid my head back. I put the ice pack to my head and counted my
pulse. When it was nearly normal, I opened my eyes and saw that the
world was staying in place. I put the ice pack on the small table
near the bed and slowly sat up.
When I was awkwardly sitting up, I picked up the water and took a small sip. I put the cup down and looked at Edward, who was watching my every move. I blushed slightly and said, "You knew."
"Knew what?"
"That we were blood typing today."
"Yes."
"Will you please
mention it casually next time?"
He chuckled. "Sure."
The nurse walked in then and looked at me. "You look better."
I raised an eyebrow at Edward and he said, "She came in when you were lying down."
I nodded and said, "I feel better. May I go?"
"Yes," she said, smiling.
I stood up, Edward instantly at my side. He grabbed my arm and my elbow, helping me out. I rolled my eyes and he smiled at my reaction. We left the room and walked up to the secretary's desk just as Mike and another boy walked in. Edward froze and said, "Bella, look away and hold your breath."
I did what I was told. 30 seconds later, I let out my breath and began breathing again. I remembered then I had one class left, and all I wanted to do was go home. I let out a small sigh.
"What is it?"
"I don't want to go to my next class."
He chuckled and walked over to the secretary's desk. He looked at her and began speaking. "Mrs. Cope?"
"Yes, Edward?"
"May Bella and I get excuses for the rest of the day? Biology was too much of an adventure."
She nodded, slightly
flustered and said, "I'll get you two excused."
She typed
into the computer and then looked up and nodded. Edward thanked her
and we left. I began walking to my car, pulling out my keys when I
felt a hand grab my hand and yank me in the opposite direction. I
stumbled along, trying to catch myself, before Edward stopped me next
to the passenger door of his car.
"Get in. I'm not letting you drive yourself home."
"But my truck-"
"It will be fine. I'll have Alice drop it off, and you guys can hang out," he said with an evil grin. He held out his hand and I reluctantly dropped my keys into it. (A/N: Haven't you noticed that she didn't do that in Twilight? But they did mention it in Midnight Sun ) He opened to door for me and let me in. He closed the door and went over to the driver's side, getting in, starting the car, and putting on his seatbelt all in one smooth motion.
I stared at him in awe for a moment, and then put my seatbelt on. We drove out of the parking lot and all the way to my house in complete silence. It was beginning to feel awkward, so I tried to come up with something intelligent to say. When we pulled into the driveway, he asked, "How do you feel? Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
He looked into my eyes, making my heart flutter. I could feel a blush creeping up on me, but I ignored it with his smothering eyes. They were so soft and golden. I instantly looked away, realizing what I just thought. 'What am I doing?! I can't date Alice's brother! That would be so mean and awkward!'
I let that thought guide me for a few moments before he touched my hand and said, "Are you sure?"
"Yeah…" I couldn't really form a coherent sentence. He was holding my hand! I quickly gathered my thoughts. "I should go," I said, grabbing my backpack and climbing out of the car.
"See you later, Bella."
"See ya, Edward. Thanks for the ride."
He nodded and drove away. I walked up the stairs and stood in the doorway for a long time after that. I tried to comprehend what just happened. Does he like me?
I don't know, but all I know is that I think I just might like him.
