Chapter 8
BPOV
I woke up before my alarm went off; I didn't get that much sleep last night. I couldn't stop thinking about Edward and what he said to me. I got out of bed, got in the shower and got ready for school. I was sitting down eating a bowl of cereal when there was a knock at the front door. My heart instantly did a flip, could it be Edward? I got up quickly and went to the door and opened it.
"Bella! Are you ready for school?" Damn.
"Oh, hey Alice. Yeah let me grab my bag." I was really hoping to see Edward at my door, but at least I'll get to see him at school. I put my bowl in the sink, grabbed my backpack and headed towards the door where Alice was waiting. We walked out the door and my heart did a happy dance when I saw Edward leaning against a silver Volvo. Yes!
"Hello Bella. How are you this morning?" He looked like a god; he gave me the most amazing crooked grin and my heart stopped dancing and melted.
"Hey Edward, I'm great!" Now anyways. If you would've asked me a few minutes ago I would have just been 'Ok'. God what is this guy doing to me!? I shook my head to get the thoughts out of it. Focus Bella; don't make a fool of yourself. Edward opened the passenger door for me and I slid in.
"Thank you."
"Anytime." He said with his crooked grin. Once again I melted. Am I going to do that every time he talks to me, touches me or even smiles at me?
The ride to school was fairly quick considering Edward didn't follow the speed limit signs. We all got out and started for the main building. Edward stayed close to my side, close but not quite touching me. He walked me to my locker and leaned up against my neighbor's locker and started talking.
"So Bella, what classes do you have? Maybe we have a few of them together."
"Edward, your first day was yesterday and I didn't have any classes with you then, what's going to change in one day?" His face slowly lit up and he grinned. He leaned close to me to whisper in my ear, god he smelled so good.
"Bella, just because we didn't have classes together yesterday, doesn't mean we won't today." Ok now I was totally confused.
"But…" He put his finger to my lips to keep me from finishing my sentence.
"I can be very persuasive Bella." I think my heart stopped beating and I quit breathing as well. "So Bella, what are your classes?"
I told him what my classes were and he smiled and told me he'd see me soon. He turned away and walked towards the office. I was in such a daze that I didn't notice Angela calling my name.
"Yo! Earth to Bella! Snap out of it!"
"Oh, sorry Ang, what's up?"
"What's up…? Um hello, who was the god you were just talking to?"
"That was Edward Cullen. He's new this year." I didn't know what else to say to her. She was one of my best friends but I couldn't say 'Oh, that's Edward, the love of my life.' How would I explain that one!?
"Is that Alice's brother? How do you know him? He seemed to know you very well…" If she only knew!
"Yes that's Alice's brother, I went over to her house last night to work on our English project. He's going to help us with it, and we kind of just clicked. He's really nice."
"And hot! Go Bella!" I didn't want to say anything but my face said it all for me. "Oh! You're blushing!! You really like him don't you!?"
"Quiet Angela! Could you be any louder?" A few of the people around us started looking our way. I got my books out of my locker and started to walk towards first period English.
"Sorry Bella, I didn't mean to embarrass you."
"It's ok Angela."
"I'm assuming you'll give me more details at lunch?" I must have looked confused. "Come on Bella, that wasn't a normal blush, something happened and you better dish!"
"You know me too well!" She seemed satisfied with my answer as we arrived in English class. We took our seats without another word. The bell rang when Mr. Grubb started to talk, the door opened and who should walk in, but my own Greek God. That's right, Edward. How did he pull that one off!? He shot me his now famous crooked smile and I heard a few gasps around me. Great, now every girl in the class was being dazzled by him.
He approached Mr. Grubb's desk and handed him a piece of paper. Mr. Grubb looked it over and pointed to the empty desk behind me.
"Mr. Cullen you may sit behind Miss Swan." Edward quietly took the seat behind me. I stared to get nervous and shifted in my seat. How was I going to concentrate with him sitting behind me? "Mr. Cullen, I assume you are Alice's brother, correct?"
"Yes sir."
"I assume your sister informed you of the class project I assigned yesterday?" Edward nodded. "Great, then you may just stay in Alice and Miss Swan's group." I swear I heard almost every girl in the room groan or growl, all but Alice, Lauren and of course, myself. I couldn't stop smiling.
Class went by agonizingly slow. I couldn't concentrate on anything but The Beautiful man sitting behind me. When the bell finally rang I turned to look at Edward.
"How'd you do that?"
"Do what?" He knew what I was talking about, why was he playing innocent?
"How did you change your schedule?"
"My little secret." I didn't like that answer, and it showed on my face. "Fine, I told the secretary that I was very uncomfortable yesterday and I wanted to have some classes with people I knew, so I gave her yours and Alice's name. It wasn't that hard and here's my schedule." Alice came over and snatched the schedule out of my hands before I could even look at it. She read it as we walked out of the classroom towards our next class.
"First period English, second period Government, third period Spanish, lunch, forth period Biology, fifth period Calculus and sixth period Gym. Well Edward you have three classes with me. English, obviously, Calculus and gym. Well, Lunch too but that's not a class! What about you Bella?"
"English, Government, Spanish and Biology, oh and of course Lunch." I was happy I had most of my day with Edward, and I was very thankful he wasn't in my Gym class. I wouldn't want to make a fool of myself in front of him everyday, which would be too horrible! We said goodbye to Alice and walked to Government together.
There wasn't an empty seat next to me so Edward ended up sitting next to Jessica. He looked like he was in pain the whole class. She wouldn't stop staring and she kept touching him and flirting with him. It bothered me to no end!! I couldn't believe her! She had a boyfriend. Class ended and Edward got up and walked over to me.
"God that girl is horrible! She is way too touchy feely, doesn't she know about personal space?" He was whispering so nobody else would hear him.
"She's still staring at you."
"Really?"
"Yup."
"Good." I was confused for a split second and then Edward leaned in to kissed me. I was shocked, but I loved the feeling of his lips to mine and there was no way I was going to end the kiss first. I heard a few gasps and snickers. Edward pulled back and looked into my eyes. "Come on love, we have to get to Spanish" He reached for my hand and I took it without hesitation. We walked out of the classroom holding hands and every eye staring at us, including a very unhappy Jessica. I couldn't help but giggle as we rounded the corner.
"Oh my god! Did you see her face! That was priceless!" We walked all the way to Spanish holding hands. I was in pure bliss.
Spanish went by fairly quickly with only a few stares. Edward was able to sit beside me in Spanish so nobody had a chance to flirt this time. We walked towards the lunchroom and Edward grabbed my hand again, I looked at him a bit confused.
"We must keep up appearances right?" I just nodded my head in agreement. Who was I to argue, right? Who wouldn't want to be holding his hand? That's what I thought ;)
We walked into the lunchroom and got out our food. We sat down at the table Angela and I usually sit at. Then Angela came to sit with us, I introduced Edward to her and vice versa. Finally, Alice came bouncing over to our table.
"Hey guys, why don't you come sit with us? We saved you seats. Angela can come too!"
We all quietly agreed and followed Alice.
"Angela, this is my brother Emmett, his girlfriend Rosalie and her brother Jasper. Guys this is Bella's best friend Angela." They all said "hello" and we quietly sat down. Angela seemed nervous but very pleased to be sitting at one of the popular tables for once. I had to admit, I was too!
We all talked about our plans for this weekend, Angela was working on her English project with Mike and Eric. I felt sorry for her but at least it wasn't me. Emmett and Rosalie were going to an out-of-town concert. It was decided that since Edward was officially in our English project that he also had to come shopping with us on Saturday. He acted unhappy about it but kept shooting me smiles as he complained to Alice, who of course ignored him. Jasper wasn't doing anything this weekend so Alice invited him to go with us.
"It'll be great! We can go out to lunch and then go see a movie! And when Bella and I go shopping for clothes for her, you guys can go do guy stuff." Jasper agreed, but only after Edward begged him to come along so he didn't have to stay with two girls shopping all day. In all honesty, neither of the guys looked too displeased at the idea of hanging out with us all day and it didn't go unnoticed from Alice or myself. We just kept our mouths shut, didn't want to ruin a good thing!
The lunch bell rang and we all parted ways. Angela, Edward and I all headed off to biology. I was the only one who didn't have a partner in the class. Angela and I tried but Mr. Gareth knew we were both smart and wanted us to help other students. He put Angela with Tyler and left me alone so I could 'float' to other groups. I didn't like it because Mike and Jessica were both in the class and of course they were partners. I hated those days!
Mr. Gareth had no choice but to put Edward with me, which I wasn't about to complain! No more 'floating' and I got to spend more time with Edward. Jessica gave me evil glances throughout class and I swear Mike was doing the same to Edward. Class was quite boring, nothing really happened; Mr. Gareth assigned us homework and gave us time to do it in class. Edward and I both finished before anyone else. I put my head on the table and closed my eyes when I felt a tap on my arm. Edward slipped me a piece of paper. I looked around to make sure nobody was looking and then started to read it. Wow, not only is he perfect, but his handwriting was as well!
Bella,
Did I tell you that you look beautiful today?
Edward
I smiled at the piece of paper and blushed.
Edward,
No you haven't told me that today. But it's nice to hear.
Bella
I slid the paper back to him he looked it over and started to write again, then slid the paper back to me.
Well you do, like always. So what are you doing after school?
Once again the paper came to me and I wrote him back.
I'm going to your house.
I knew what he was going to think but I wasn't going to clarify, so I slid the paper back to him. He looked stunned for a second, then pleased. He wrote again then slid it back to me.
Oh really? So eager?
He he he! I quickly responded.
No, Alice and I, and well, now you, have to work on our English project.
I smiled as I slid the paper waiting for his response, he almost seemed disappointed.
Oh, ok, well maybe we can spend some time alone when we're done?
Is your mind in the gutter Mr. Cullen?
Always.
I read his answer just as the bell rang; I wrote one word down and handed it back to him. He smiled and kissed me on the cheek and said, "I told you, you haven't seen anything yet!" With that he walked out of the room. What was that word you may ask? I think you already know.
Tease.
Gym was mostly normal, except that I was the only one who got hit in the head with volleyball, and hard! Coach Baron came over to me and asked if I was ok, I started to say yes but I kept swaying. He asked Angela to take me to the nurse's office.
She held my arm and led me out of the gym.
"Jessica is such a bitch!" So that was who struck me, makes sense now. "You think she would realize by now that you are over Mike!"
"I don't think that's the problem Angela, she's been flirting with Edward all day and Edward has made it seem like we are together."
"OH! Ok, but wait, what about Mike?"
"Come on Ang, Jessica is a slut, she doesn't care."
"True. Ok, here you are. Do you want me to stay with you?" She sat me down in a chair inside the nurse's office.
"Nah, I'll be ok. Thanks for bringing me."
"No problem. I'll call you later, ok?" I slowly shook my head and closed my eyes.
The nurse gave me some Tylenol and made me lay down for the rest of the day, which I didn't mind because I hate Calculus. I would just have to get Alice's notes when the day was over. The final bell rang and I got up.
"Crap." I was still wearing my gym clothes. At least they weren't too embarrassing, my sweats were cute and my t-shirt didn't have any holes, or stains. I guess I wouldn't die of embarrassment. I left the nurses office and headed to my locker. When I had everything I needed for the night I closed my locker and Edward was staring at me.
"Holy crap!" I punched him in the arm.
"Ow! What did you do that for?"
"You scared the crap out of me! You could've let me know you were standing there!"
"Sorry, I was just admiring you in your tight sweats and tight t-shirt."
"Shut up, I forgot to change after gym."
"Umm. How could you forget?" I told him what happened and he wasn't too happy.
"It's ok Edward, I can deal with Jessica."
"Well now's your chance." He nodded behind me. I turned around to see Jessica and her 'mob' walking right towards me. They all looked pissed. Great, just when I thought my day was starting to look up!
