Chapter 2

Nice or not?

When I got in there…I saw Tanya speaking to Edward. Should I interrupt them?

But Edward suddenly looked at me. I walked to them quietly, afraid that Edward must be angry at me.

"There you are. I've been waiting for you" Edward said, suddenly holding my hand.

I looked at our hands and to Edward, finally confused. What is he doing?

Tanya looked at Edward curiously.

"What is this? Edward? Bella?" Tanya asked.

"Well, Tanya. See you tomorrow" Edward just said, simply ignoring Tanya's question.

One of his bodyguards opened the limousine's door. Really? You'll go to a school in a limo? Such an ass.

I stepped inside and sat. Edward did the same and the bodyguard closed the door.

Edward rolled the window down when we were already outside the school. Waving at the girls who are trying to follow the limo. We didn't talk during the ride…I was keep on texting on Angela if I should stop this tutoring thing but she convinced me that it was for my grade. I completely gave Edward a silence treatment for my own good.

Later on, the car stopped and I looked outside.

Edward went out without saying anything. I quickly went after him…this isn't a house. It's a mansion…

I sighed, I should expect this. He's an actor.

There were maids who opened the door and looked at me curiously. They greeted us and Edward removed his jacket and his bag and gave it to the lady. There is something that is bothering me…his maids. Why do they have to look at me from head to toe? I mean…am I that ugly that they can't expect their boss to bring me on his house?

"Edward" A woman, about the age of my mom, greeted Edward. She hugged him and Edward smiled at her. On the woman's side, is a blond man.

"Mom…Dad" Edward said. Oh…that is his parents.

"And who is this?" His dad looked at me.

"This is Bella. Bella, this is my mom Esme and my dad Carlisle" He told them.

I smiled at them, but to my surprise Esme hugged me. She looked at me then spoke.

"It was nice meeting you Bella…you know, he never brought any friends here"

I looked at Edward questioningly….but he ignored me.

"Why did you bring Bella here, son?" He asked. To annoy me sir….

"She's tutoring me"

"Studies huh?" Carlisle laughed as if he can't believe his son is going to be tutored.

"Yes…I didn't know what they were studying last sem" Edward said but his father still laughed.

"Well this is great! I'll see you later at dinner Bella" Esme said, suddenly dragging Carlisle into a room.

Kinda surprised that his parents are well-mannered and had good attitudes. Maybe Edward is just an adopted son…hahaha kidding.

Edward suddenly walked to an elevator…without telling me. I almost run to kept in pace with him. Kind of funny to see an elevator inside a house…

"What's with that?" I asked Edward…once we were finally alone inside the elevator.

"What 'that'?"

"You haven't brought any friends in your house? Even Jacob? And Tanya?" I almost laugh at that.

He kept quiet…maybe annoyed. Hahaha…this is fun.

"Let me guess, you don't have any friends"

He didn't answer me which made me laugh…

The elevator opened and we went out of it. It was a hallway. On the end, is his room. When he opened it, I was about to went inside when he closed the door…leaving me alone in the hallway.

"Whoah…Edward, you forgot me!" I told him through the door, still laughing at the thought he never brought any friends.

He didn't spoke. Looks like I hit something. But he opened the door.

"You're here to tutor me not to annoy me okay?"

"Alright! I'm sorry for annoying you! But do the same thing to me okay?" I told him.

He let me inside…I'm quite happy I annoyed him. At least, I got my revenged.

It was probably as big as my room…well you know, the house my parents gave to me and Alice before they died is kinda big too. But not a mansion…My room is the master's bedroom that is why it is big.

There is a bed on the corner, a flat TV facing the bed and a table on the right. Beside it, was his room for the closet.

"Not what you expected huh?" He suddenly said…

"Yeah…I thought guy's rooms are all tidy and stuffs" I mumbled quietly. He chuckled at what I said.

"Well, I'm too handsome for you to think I'm tidy. My room is always neat because I got irritated with things that are not clean"

"Whatever" I muttered. I quickly went to the table and placed my books on it.

"I supposed we should start early so we could finish as soon as possible" and I can get out of this stupid room.

He sat at the chair and nodded.

"Okay mam" He teased me but I ignored him.

"Where's your books and notebooks?" I asked him.

"I left it at my locker" He said innocently.

"Seriously? Don't you have any assignments?"

"I don't know"

"You don't know? Are you trying to be funny?"

"I really don't know…I'm not paying any attention"

I sighed and sat too at the chair.

I just started explaining things to him…whenever he asked; I answered him in the probably easiest way.

But the awkward thing is, I caught him just staring at me…like he's not listening.

In must be four hours when I felt tired…and hungry. And good thing is, I think he felt the same way.

"Okay Edward…I think you understand the lessons…I should go home now" I told him. His been a very behave person right now…weird.

He nodded and helped me arranged my things. I looked at the clock, it's already 7.

"Aren't you hungry?" He asked.

"Uhhmmm" I nodded slightly but deep inside me, I was like Super hungry!

"My mom told you, you should eat dinner here"

"Yeah uhmm is it okay to you?"

"Of course" He walked with me to the elevator and to back to where we are earlier.

I wondered what they did at these rooms. I mean, him and his sister is both a Hollywood popular actress and actor which means, they are often here at the mansion…and who's left? Their parents.

We were almost at the dining room when I got shocked as a little child ran to Edward.

"Eddie!" She said and hugged him. When he put her down, she suddenly hugged one of my legs.

"Hi" She told me, her cheeks are so red. She's so cute.

I bent my knees and hugged her.

"Hello" I told her.

Edward laughed and I suddenly stood straight, just holding the little girl's hand.

"Luce likes you" He told me.

"Eddie..huh? hahaha…Is she your sister?" I asked him.

"Whatever bella…but yeah, she's my little sister"

"Oh...i thought it was only you and Rosalie"

"Well, for the first time…you're the only one who doesn't know anything about my family. I'm still surprised you know"

"Is she like you? I mean...is she an actress?"

"Not in big movies. She's a model actually" He told me and Luce giggled.

"How old is she?" I asked him.

"Four" He muttered.

"I'm bella" I told her.

"Bwella! Bwella!" She said, holding Edward's hand on her free hand.

"Bella" I corrected her but she suddenly ran back to the dining room.

"Bwella huh?" He said then laughed….

"Stop it Eddie" I told him…laughing.

"You just didn't" Then he attacked me with tickles.

"Stop it! Stop it! Hahah Please!" I told him…laughing so hard…he even laughed himself. I was already on the floor but he's not stopping.

"Ahemm" We both heard someone. We stopped and Edward helped me stand up. It was his father…oops.

He just looked at us, almost like teasing both of us…what a cool Dad. When he turned his back and went to the dining room, I am pretty sure I am blushing.

"Bwella is blushing" Edward said but he went to the room too. I laughed at myself but followed him too.

I sat beside him, yeah…kinda awkward.

"So Bella? Until when is this tutor thing?" Mr. Cullen asked me when I finished my soup.

I looked at Edward questioningly. He didn't tell his father about that…I'm quite sure.

"Oh uhmm…Our biology teacher told me it depends on you and Mrs. Cullen" I replied to Carlisle.

"I didn't know about that Edward" Carlisle told Edward.

"Well Dad, it's my first day at school and I just asked the teacher…"

"Well, I'm really surprised Edward is kinda behave Bella…aren't you irritated at him?" He asked me, making me giggle. So…he's really irritating.

"Uhmm…he is…annoying me but when it comes to me tutoring him, he behaved" I told them and they chuckled.

"I am also surprise he's into studies" Esme said.

"Well mom, where will I get that? To my smart parents of course" Edward said.

We talked until we finished the dinner. It was almost 8 when I decided to go home.

"I guess I'll see you tomorrow Mr. Cullen, Mrs. Cullen and of course you Luce" They shook my hand and Carlisle told me he will pay me at the end of the month. I tried to refuse but he already had a word.

"See you tomorrow Bella. Oh here's my number" Edward said handing me a paper, totally going to run into his room but Esme stopped him.

"I think it's proper that you will drive Bella home, son. It's late"

"Mom, just tell the driver to drive her. I promise Tanya I'll call her" He said then run out of this room.

Carlisle shook his head, disapprovingly.

"He's really getting into my nerves" He murmured.

"Well Bella, wait a minute, the car is set up"

She called their driver and to my surprise…it was still a limo. I sighed, yeah…why not?

When I got home, I thanked the driver and closed the gates. The front of my house is pure glass…you can see everything, the living room on the first floor, the TV set and a couch on the second floor, My precious little library at the third floor. There is a beach beside it…my house is pretty far from my neighbors.

When I am finally dressed for home, I did my homeworks. Few moments later, I heard a car. I looked at the window, it was Alice.

I opened the door and she quickly closed the door and let me sit at the couch.

"Tell me everything!" She said excitingly.

"Like what?"

"What happened tonight? What does his house looks like? Are you inside his room?"

"Al, we just did homework and yes, it's inside his room. His house is like a mansion, there's an elevator inside. I didn't even know he had a younger sister which is so cute! His parents are very hospitable though"

"Wow…I wish I saw that"

"Maybe someday" I murmured.

"Did he kiss you?" She said and I almost choked.

"One day of knowing each other?"

"So what?"

"No he didn't. And I'll kill him if he did that"

"Whatever. Maybe this weekend though…"

I stood up and we both went to the second floor. She went to her room and I continued with my homeworks.

"Goodnight Bella!" She shouted.

"Night" I replied and went downstairs to check every window and doors locked.

I turned off all the lights and slept restfully at my room.

School.

I am perfectly aware that every people seemed to looked at me today but I'm glad no one approached me. Alice used her own car today; she needs to be early for cheering practice.

When I got inside the campus, I caught an eye of Edward who is currently surrounded by girls or fans.

I texted him: Can we talk for a minute?

He looked around and saw me. He frowned but made his way out of the girls.

"I'll be back" He told the girls then dragged me to a room with empty chairs. The fans stared at us with jealous eyes. Edward quickly locked the door before facing me.

"What do you need?" He told me angrily.

What did I do? Why is he mad?

"Just wanted to remind you about your homeworks. Be sure to copy notes and stuffs so you won't give me a hard time figuring out what you should answer"

"That's it? You wanted to talk just to remind me that? You should have just texted me!" He said looking at me unbelievably.

"Why? Is there any other thing I should say?" I asked him.

"Bella, stay away from me" He said almost like he's pleading.

"Good, I will" I smiled.

"You will?" He asked.

"That's what I want from the first place. Just tell Mr. Bert about the tutoring thing okay?" I smiled to him again.

"That's not what I'm referring to"

"Edward, you're confusing me"

"Let's not talk to school, better let's not act like you don't know me"

"But why?" I asked.

"Haven't you heard the news?"

"News? What news?"

He didn't spoke. I am too angry at him that I gripped his collar to make him look at me.

"TELL ME ABOUT THE NEWS!"

"Everything about us that happened yesterday was in news"

"Like the one where you flipped me off? I promised I didn't tell anyone!"

"No Bella! Not that one!"

"Then what?"

"The one where you ride with me home at my limo, the one where I took you home"

When he said that, pieces connected in my mind. I am in trouble. I pulled my hands off his collar slowly.

"Is that a joke? Because if it is…that's very sick"

"I'm not joking bella…I'm sorry"

"Then tell them I'm your darn tutor! So that they won't think I'm your girlfriend!"

"What will my fans think when they started knowing about the tutor thing!"

"I don't care Edward Cullen! I want my life back! Lie to them!"

"Bella, I'll be quiet at media. I won't speak any single word about us. But right now, I'm sorry, let's just pretend we don't know each other" He said and I nodded.

"Fine, but what do I tell your fans when they asked me?"

"Tell them it's not you"

"Do you actually think they'll agree?" I laughed at him.

"No, but lying to them is the best for now. After a month, the news will subside. People will forgot soon" He muttered and I believed him.

Then I remembered something.

"Will I still tutor you?" I asked him and to my surprise, he chuckled.

He suddenly hooked his finger in the waistband of my jeans and pulled me close. Then he wrapped his arms around my waist. I couldn't remember what we were talking about; all I knew is that his breath makes my head go blank.

Shit, why does he have this effect on me? I hate him.

"Depends on what you want, if you like to do something more than tutoring, I'll do it" He smiled teasingly.

"What?" I can't believe he just said that.

But he didn't answer me. I tried to pull away from him but he didn't let go of me.

"Edward, get-off-me!"

He did but he laughed at me. I glared at him but he ignored me.

"The news is still hot so we need to be careful. This afternoon, there's a red Porsche, Here are the keys. Take my sister's car and drive to my house. Its dark tinted so you don't have to worry, Paparazzi will think it was my sister not you"

I looked at the keys.

"Rosalie's car? Won't she be mad?"

"I told her you're taking it, she quickly approved without asking"

"Ohh"

"Get out of this room first; I'll go out after a few minutes"

I nodded and when I went out, the fans seemed to forget Edward dragged me inside that room. They seemed not to notice me. I exhaled a relief.

I went to my first class which is Math.

I sat at the back as usual, purely happy I don't have any seatmate.

But minutes before the bell rang, someone sat beside me. I glanced and saw Jacob Black.

"Jacob, hi" I said and he smiled.

"Bella! I see you made it alive at one afternoon with Ed"

I laughed at that.

"Yeah, lucky me!" Then I stopped laughing when I saw the girl in front of me, holding a newspaper and the front picture is Edward holding my hand with Tanya in front of us beside the limousine.

"Let me guess, you're thinking that the news is crazy. I do too" Jacob said.

"You do?"

"it's weird for Edward to hold your hands in front of Tanya" He said and I stared at him.

"Why?"

"Tanya is the first girlfriend of Edward. They broke up two nights ago before we all enrolled here but Tanya is acting like she still owns Edward"

"Ohh…that's the reason Tanya asked me about my thing with Edward"

"Is there a thing with you two?" He asked.

I suddenly realized he's waiting for my answer.

If you don't want to tell me…it's okay" He asked.

"No…uhmmm, none" I told him and he smiled.

"He's insane right?"

"Totally" We both laughed but stopped when our teacher went inside.

I found out Jacob is also good at math. We were the only students who are perfect at the quiz today which made me smiled. I got competition for the first time…

The bell rang and I stood up.

"What's your next subject?" He asked.

"Uhmm…Music"

"Music? You play anything?"

"I know everything" I said humbly.

"Like guitar? Drums? Piano?"

"Yeah"

"WE BOTH ARE!" He said as we walked out of the room. Unlike Edward, only a few fans noticed Jacob.

"Cool" I replied.

"My next is arts" He mumbled.

"You paint anything?" I asked.

"I'm not that good. Do you know where the room is?" He asked.

"Third floor, last door on the left"

"Thanks" He smiled then waved goodbye.

I smiled as I walked to the music room. He is such a nice friend; I almost forgot he's an actor.

I got a round of applause from my classmates after I played drums.

This day is really my kind of day. I felt so happy! Maybe because I didn't failed on anything yet and also, because Edward will finally not annoy me…only at afternoon for tutor.

After Music is my homeroom. Meaning, in my school hours schedule, it's my free time. One hour before lunch.

I went to the library and read a book. After exactly one hour, my tummy groaned. I laughed and walked out to the cafeteria. I saw Jacob and he smiled.

"Hey"

"Hi" I replied.

"Want to sit at my table?" He said and I glanced at it. Rosalie, Emmett, Tanya, and Edward. I quickly shook my head.

"No thanks, you want to sit at mine?"

"Sure"

While ordering pizza, I caught an eye of Alice who is sitting at our usual table. Angela is with her boyfriend Ben.

Me and Jacob sat at the table and they became quiet.

"Oh uhmm…guys, this is Jacob Black"

"Hey" Jake shook hands with them and they all laughed. I sighed.

It was nice spending lunch with him. I really like his company, I'm never bored. We all laugh and talk about crazy things. Involuntarily, I looked at my side where Edward is sitting. At the same time, he did too. We locked eyes for a minute before I looked away. But I swear, I still saw him looking at me from the corner of my eyes. I wonder why…maybe he's thinking why Jacob is sitting here.

Bell rang and we all got startled. In less than maybe 5 minutes, the teacher will be inside the room.

"Jacob, I'll see you later okay?" I told him.

"Yeah we'll see you" Alice said.

"Sure" Jake simply replied.

"It was nice spending lunch with you, we should do it again" Angela said excitingly. I knew she was Jake's fan.

"Yeah I agree, maybe tomorrow" Jacob said as we hurried walking outside.

We all went to our own buildings, I sighed. I'm going to spend 2 hours again with Edward! Gahh! Never mind, he promised we should pretend we don't know each other at school.

PLEASE REVIEW SO I'LL KNOW IF YOUR HAPPY OR NOT ABOUT THE STORY! Thank you!
