Chapter Two: Geography's Surpise

Edward was leaning towards me, his eyes staight at mine. My heartbeat was galloping and it was only untill I noticed I was leaning slowly fowards as well, that he was going to kiss me. At first he surpised me, lifting his hand up and taking my glasses off. My heart went up another notch. He smiled gently at me and caressed my cheek. I closed my eyes, making sure I remembered the moment forever. He put both of his hands on either sides of my face. Then he pulled my face towards him, eyes, never leaving mine and put his lips agaisnt my lips.

It was then, that I woke up, jerking staight up in bed and sending my glasses of my pillow. Then I remembered where I was. I started to stare blankly into space and then I slowly realised that Edward would never love me the way I loved him. The realitly hit home and hit my heart like a tonn of bricks. I lowered my head and sobbed into my hands. Then I was brought back with the sound of my mobile buzzing.

Clearing my eyes of tears, I picked it up and read the message. It was from Angela, another nerdy-ish person like me. She was the closest person I had as a friend at school. I didn't tell her much but we helped each other in Calculas and Spannish. She was a very kind person. But her text surpised me.

Hi Bella, I hope your ok. I'm really sorry but I've got the flu and I can barely move. I'm ever so sorry Bella. Please forgive me. Angela x

Crap. Another day like yesterday, being embarassed and unpopular. I sighed, moving my fingers through my knotted brown hair. I jumped out of bed and had a shower, conditioning and hairdrying my hair. Then I walked to my desk and pulled out homework and my books. I put my jeans and dark green jumper on and went downstairs. Charlie, my dad was already downstairs. "Hi dad" I said, walking to the cupboard and pulling out the cereal. "I thought you would of gone by now."

"Well, Bells" he started, putting down the newspaper and looking at me. Uh oh. I knew that look. Everyother day he'd ask about my life at school. "Bella, Angela's mum has told me that you get bullied at school."

"It's nothing, dad honestly. "I stuttered. I wasn't gonning to blame Angela at all. She worried about me. "I'm fine. It's just the glasses I think and the fact that I'm a bit well...." i tired to find any other word. I gave up. "I'm a bit nerdy at school dad and they tease me a little. But.." I say him about reply. "...I'm cool about it. It's just a teenager thing y'know. I'll get used to it." Would I though?

He shock his head. "Bella, Bella, Bella" he chanted. I grimaced. "Why didn't you tell me this before? Your've been goign to that school, for nearly four years! How did you cope with it?!" Good question. How did I cope? "Umm" I thought. "I dunno. I'm getting used to it." I'm such a bad liar. "I should proberly be off then, dad." I put my bowl in the dishwaser and grabed my jacket and bag. Then I rushed out of the door and down the path to my truck. I wrestled myself inside and slammed the door.

Before I knew it I was heading towards school at 45mph. I then reminded myself that despite being the cheif's daughter, it was still illegal to speed. I slowed down until I reached school. I locked the truck and took another deep breath. I closed my eyes and tied to seem normal. I was honestly fed up with the teasing. I just didn't know how to.

I walked causally (i bet i looked stupid) towards first period. I had Geography and loathed it. I sat next to an empty seat and was always lonely. I decided that I woulnd't say hello to Mr Banner as I sometimes did as it was uncool to talk normally to a teacher. I walked staight past his desk and to my desk. I sat next to the window, showing off the playing fields. I played with my fingernails until it was time to start class. Normally I would just look through my notes and people would whisper about me. Nobody had noticed me. Good.

Halfway through the lesson, there was a knock on the door. Mr Banner stopped lecturing about how the earth's climate changed and turned. Then Edward Cullen stepped in, looking...looking nervous?! He searthed the room, obvisoloy looking for his cool mates or something. His eyes found me and winked. My jaw dropped and curosity burned inside me. Why was he here?

"Mr Cullen? Why aren't you in class?" Mr Banner aksed him. Edward walked over to him and passed him a note. Mr Banner read it and said "Fine. I'll speak to her later. Take a seat." Edward looked around the room. Oh help. There was only two spaces left in the room, the seat next to me at the back or next to Eric Yorkie at the front. Eric waved at him and put his thumbs up, gesturing him to sit next to him. Edward looked at me and seemed to ask if he could sit next to me with his eyes. I nodded slowly and looked back outside to which it had started to rain. I heard him walk and saw the stool being pulled back with the corner of my eye.

I continued to stare out and could of sworn I heard him sigh. I turned round and also say half the class, whispering to their partners and the girls giving me evils. It made me want to laugh. But I coulnd't. Edward Cullen had chosen Me over Eric Yorkie, one of his mates. I couldn't work out why. I looked at him, the curiosity written still on my face.

Mr Banner had continued his lecture. I couldn't really care less. All my shyness vannished as I said the first words that I thouight of. "Why did you choose me?" I whispered. He thought for a moment "because you don't take the piss outta me, do you?" I recoiled at his swearing but shurged it off. "Fair comment" I replied. He smiled at me. "So what are we talking about then?" he motoined towards Mr Banner. I honestly didnt care about the class or Mr Banner at all. I struggled to remember. "Urmm, I think it was about the earth's climate or something.." What did I care about the earth's climate? For all I knew he'd taken my breath away. Haha, I would of loved to see the expression on Mr Banner's face if I wrote that in my essay. I laughed quietly at my own joke. He smiled warmly. "Care to reveal your joke?" he asked playfully. "No way Mr!" I giggled still overwealmed by my own humour. Edward then paid his attention towards the class. I breathed in and out slowly and carefully, calming myslef down. I couln't take the silly grin off my face though.

When the end of class came, Edward packed my things up for me. I just sat there, dumbstruck. He handed me my bag and I took it, still puzzled. "I'm not allowed to be the gentleman am I?" he asked. I rasied my eyebrows, "I din't knew that's what you did. Do you do this to every girl you sit next to?"

"No..no I don't." he admitted "But who says I can't be the gentleman to you?" I thought for a moment. "Okay" I questioned trying to back him down "Who says then that I was your friend?" His expression drooped slightly. I imeadiantly felt guilty "But there again, you have the right to call me a nosy bitch, right now" I sighed. Bitchiness wasn't like me and I was being nosy. He grinned. "I was thinking and don't worry, your not a bitch at all. Your someone a lot nicer than other girls I know, Bella. I'll catch you later." and he walked out of the classroom.

Tell me what you think! In the form of a REVIEW! lol :)
