Chapter 4: Apology…. Accepted

BPOV

I entered the room expecting the teacher to be there but I was shock to see….

The room filled with balloons specifically pink. In the middle of the room is a huge teddy bear, when I say it is huge it is not like the common gigantic teddy bears but it is totally huge. The bear is holding a banner saying" I'm SORRY!".

Everybody is looking at me. I'm very sure I look like a strawberry in front of my classmates. This is impossible. Seriously, could he do this? I mean could Edward…

"Please Ms. Isabella Marie Swann, listen to what I will tell even just for a few minutes." A soft voice whispered behind my ears.

I instantly jump and my classmates giggled. There in front of me is Edward Cullen. In his hands were two things: a bunch of pink and red roses and another teddy bear saying" forgive me Bella"

I nodded at him helplessly, telling him I'm listening to what he will say.

"You were so kind to say "hi" to me when we first met under the pine tree. I know this might sound so corny but please Ms. Swann listen to me. I'm a stupid person to bully you for no reason. Making your entire life so miserable that hurting made you almost disable." Edward is looking at me with such intense that his gaze hold mine.

"We are the schools cat and dog. Always fighting even cursing one another. I must admit I find you beautiful the first time I saw you. Though I could not understand why are you not chasing me like I'm some hot" he made quotation marks in the air. "pancake. I find your attitude a challenge and I want to tell you that I'm trying to impress but instead of getting you I ended getting yells and curses from you. When we talk the other day after gym because of a bet, the feelings I had for you the first time we met were back. That moment I realized it's the right time to stop hurting you and show you how much I care for you."

I don't know what to say, everyone is looking at us. I receive glares from the female population and I could hear smirks from the guys. Edward just told me something I never expected from him. I know I kind of like him but ….. arrghh I like him.

"Please Bella" he took a step forward and did the most unexpected gesture or whatever you call it. He kneel in front of me. "Will you forgive me and my friends for hurting you all this time?" how the hell could he do that. His eyes are making my heart melt.

"Um… Edward can you please stand" I hissed at him.

"Um… well, that was an impressive way of apologizing to a person I must say." I pick the right words to say so that I would not give them any hint of what I'm feeling. "After hurting and bullying me for almost four years that revelation of yours Mr. Cullen is surprising." "Though due to some circumstances I must say I want to forgive you but are you really serious Mr. Cullen or is this just another bet?"

After my speech, Edward and his friends look troubled.

A moment of silence

Another moment of silence…

Then he suddenly took another step closer to me that we look like we are about to kiss. He look at me… help… I could not breath his scent is so …hmmmm.

"Do you really think that this is a bet Ms. Swann?" he asked me, I could not help but notice that he look amuse at my expression.

"Well, I would be glad to believe that your telling me the truth but I don't want to be hurt again or rather be trick." I breathed… we are so close that I sudden impulse told me to grab his soft bronze hair. No… Bella stop it.

"Then I must tell once again Ms. Swann, I'm sorry and will you forgive me?" he is now smiling and I know that he know that he can convince me.

"Okay, I believe you and I forgive you." I replied.

Just after what I said the door open and our teacher appeared at the door.

"Can somebody explain this to me." Ms. Tradler asked while waving her hands in the air, indicating the flowers and the teddy bear.

"Ms. Tradler, Edward here is asking for an apology from Bella that is why there are lots of balloons and a teddy bear in your room" Mike explain to the teacher.

"Very well, I must say it is impressive Mister Cullen. You must like Ms. Swann so much to come up with this idea. Very impressive."

I immediately blush and Edward… ah he smile. What… he smile at what Ms. Tradler said. He can't take this so easy I mean people might jump into conclusion that he his courting me but… why would he bother to prepare this kind of sep-up if he will only apologize?

"Okay, we already miss 25 minutes of our time, go back to your seats." Ms. Tradler ordered us.

We when to our designated seats, my seatmate Charles is absent so I'm seating alone. At the other end of the room is where Edward is seated beside Tyler. The rest of the class we talk about history and names, a lot of names to remember. I played with my hair while listening to the lecture of Ms. Tradler but I could not help but notice that Edward is looking at me. There were times when I would caught him and he would just wink at me. I would glare at him but he would smile at me, my favorite smile.

By the time our class ends I'm sure that Edward is trying to get my attention, is he not satisfied with the attention he already has. I'm the last person to go out of the room, I was about to go to my next class when someone pulled my arm.

"Will you please get your arms off me." I tried to escape whoever hands are holding my arms but the hands are so strong.

"Don't worry Bella it's only me." His voice whispered in my ear that send sparks all over my body.

I turn around to see a rather amused Edward.

"Okay what was that for?" I glared at him

"What?" he asked, oh… he is definitely smirking

"Awhile ago, when you pulled me stopping me from going to my next class."

"Well, I just want to tell you I'm grateful that you accept my apology." He smile at me.

"I s that all?" I ask him.

He push me gently on the wall and put both of his arms on my side, which means I have no way to escape. He then leaned on me… hmmm

"Well, what else do want Bella?" he ask me smiling

"Edward will you please get off me." I hiss at him

He look rather amuse and even lean on me. Our lips are only an inch away.

"You really amuse me Bella but don't worry I promise to make your day the best day of your life so." He whispered in my ear.

With that he left me leaning my back on the wall, breathless. Did he actually tried to kiss me but was stop by the sound of the bell.

He turned his back at my direction and said, " See you at lunch Bells"

Okay is the world going to end, I mean Edward apologize to me in front of the class, what else is he planning. Then he just called me Bells… oh no, the world is really going to end.

I run as fast as I can going to my Trig class. I'm almost late but luckily I arrive at the classroom before the final bell rings. When I entered the room everybody is looking at me.

The same scenario when Edward apologized to me. Girls are glaring at me, well except Angela and a few girls and the male population is looking at me and smirking. What the… oh crap, of course news have wings. I bet the entire school is already talking about the Edward apologizing to Bella thing.

I when to my seat next to Angela as Mr. Fowler start the lesson.

"Hey, I heard about it." Angela whispered to me.

"Who told you?" I ask her while taking down my notes.

"Well, is a little bit long."

I look at her raising my eyebrows

"Okay" she glance at Mr. Fowler, he is busy writing notes at the board which means it is safe to talk.

"Katrina heard it from Vince and told it to Cleo that she immediately spread to Samantha and Samantha called her boyfriend Ian that told the news to his best friend Andrew, that is the boyfriend of Aina that told Jessica and well, Jessica scream the news inside the girls c.r. during the time that Ben was passing down the hallway and you know he told me." Angela look at me.

Wow… that was a very long chain. I must expect even teachers knows about it with Ms. Tradlers' mouth. Okay so everyone knows how Edward and apologize to me and they'll think how good and gentleman he is.

We spent our Trig class as usual, note taking, board work, quiz and a whole chapter review for an assignment. During the class I couldn't help but notice that the girls are still glaring at me. So now I gain a lot of enemies. Most of the girls are probably cursing me, let's put Jessica on the top of the list but I did nothing.

When the class ended Angela and I headed towards the cafeteria. That was the time when I remembered what Edward said. " See you at lunch Bells". As we enter the cafeteria people were looking at me. Okay so how long will I get us to people looking at me even glaring because someone just apologize to me.

Angela touch my shoulders and point at the center of the cafeteria.

I look at where she is pointing and I gasped.

EPOV

The night before I fell asleep I plan on how I will apologize to Bella. I was glad I remembered the most romantic and unique way of apologizing to your crush… yes Bella is my crush and at the same time your enemy.

I called James, Mike and Tyler and told them my plans. They were happy to help me. We arrived at school early in the morning to set-up what I have planned. I have a lot of surprises for Bella and I hope she will really like it.

The morning apology when smoothly, I could see the guys smirking while the girls glaring at Bella when I apologize to her. I really love the way her cheeks turns red. It is lovely to look at. After our class with Ms. Tradler, I don't know but an impulse told me to grab her hand and kiss her but I manage to stop myself from kissing her. A promise her that we'll see each other at lunch and well here am I.

After gym I immediately when to the cafeteria and check if the tables, carpets, the food, the flowers and everything is ready. I'm glad I could ask a favor from the principal, being Carlisle best friend.

I ordered the best food available in the vicinity. I know I spend a big amount for this but I don't mind, I is for Bella… my Bella. The menu is compose of a grilled tenderloin wrapped in bacon, steamed lobster, melted lemon butter, small baked potato, Yorkshire Pudding and gravy, Pirouette cookies and to complete the menu a Merlot wine.

I'm very happy. I waited for Bella to arrive. Students are already arriving and girls look so sad and some looks like they are hoping that the meal is for them. Guys were giving thumbs-up. Tyler, James and Mike are not here because they are getting ready for the last part of my surprise.

I suddenly see the angel floating inside the cafeteria. Bella is always beautiful, how could I not seen it for the past few years. She looks so confuse as if remembering something, then Angela poke her and point towards my direction. At first she didn't see what Angela is pointing at but when she saw me her mouth open in a perfect o.

I smile at her and made a gesture telling her to come. She was hesitant at first but Angela push her. She made her way towards the center of the cafeteria, girls were glaring at her. I couldn't help but notice how clumsy Bella is, to my amusement. She tripped a lot going to me.

"What is this?" she ask me, ah she is blushing.

I smile at her, "Well, I told you my surprise is not yet done so to prove to you that I'm really sorry, I want to have lunch with you Ms. Swann."

She look at me with the most bewildered expression.

"Okay, but this is not necessary." She hiss

Yes! She said yes to me…. I want to jump but I need to compose myself.

I pull her seat, the old fashion way. I then clap my hands and like magic a waiter arrive and serve our first dish. Bella, well she is enjoying the lunch but I could not help noticing that she keep on hiding her face with her hair.

With a sudden impulse I push the hair that escape her ponytail and push it back her neck. I felt a sudden sparks as I touch her skin. She look at me, then she smile.

"Thank you." She whispered

"I know you will love this." I replied, I know I look so smug but I don't care.

The rest of the lunch when smoothly. I found out that Bella loves green and brown. She wants to be writer someday and that she actually own a very huge walk –in closet that contains a lot of designer items.

Of course Bella's family is very prominent family. Her mother is currently in California but will be visiting a friend in Paris. Well, my mom Esme is in Paris maybe I could tell her about Bella's mom and they could spend some time together.

Bella was surprise when the Pirouette cookies were serve.

"Oh, I love Pirouette cookies, the last time I ate this was in the birthday of my cousin in England" she look so beautiful when she smile this way.

"I'm glad you like the food. I honestly love Pirouette cookies." I told her.

I don't want to end this moment with Bella. I felt I'm in heaven just talking to this Angelic beauty in front of me but I need to back in reality. The bell ring signifying the end of lunch break. Bella jumped when she heard the bell, as if she didn't know where she was.

"Oh, its already time. Edward I'm really thankful of what you have done for me. You don't know how much this means to me." She then walk towards the exit of the cafeteria.

When everybody left the cafeteria, I did the something that I longed to do.

"Yes, yes, yes. Bella I so love you". I said jumping up and down. Did I just said I love Bella but I don't need to deny it to myself I do love Bella. If this lunch is a friendly bur romantic lunch this afternoons surprise will be my first step in courting Bella.

BPOV

I had the most amazing lunch for the rest of my life. I know Edward Cullen did the most romantic lunch a boy could offer a girl. I could not believe my eyes when I saw what Angela is pointing at. I enjoyed talking to Edward I found out that he love the color blue and green, he love playing baseball, basketball and a lot more.

This afternoon I decided to stay at the library. I choose the seat at the middle of the library to my mistake. I heard a guitar playing… is it my imagination?

No….. it is definitely my imagination.

Mike appear out of nowhere playing a guitar. He is followed by a singing or let say a humming Tyler and James. They each give me a piece of red roses and a teddy bear. How many teddy bears will I receive this day?

Then, there he is appearing from behind a bookshelf, Edward himself.

He sang the one the most beautiful songs I've heard. He definitely has a good voice.

I'm sorry, yes I am, for everything that I've done.
How can I do this right, without you in my life.
Even though I say I love you I've gotta
make a change in my life, baby,
I realize that you're better off without me by your side.
You're a special lady and I know I'm not ready for you, oh

He give me a bunch of roses and another teddy bear. He stood in front of me and to my amusement he took a microphone from his pocket and continue singing. I laugh and he smile. My favorite lopsided smile.

I'm sorry for, what I've done.
I broke your heart, now we're apart.
I'm sorry for, making you cry.
I broke your heart, now I'm alone.
I'm by myself.

He is now on top of the table singing whole heartedly, I laugh again and this only made him to sing some more. He finally ended his song. He kneel in front of me to my surprise.

"Isabella Marie Swann, I Edward Anthony Cullen would like to ask your permission to allow me to court you." He said to me smiling so widely that I could not speak for a few seconds.

"What did you say?" I manage to ask.

"Will you allow me to court you?" he ask, rather amused

"I don't know, look I taught you are only apologizing to me?" I tried to change the subject.

"Well, as you see Ms. Swann I find you so attractive for me to resist not courting you." He grin at me still kneeling.

"Okay, can I talk to you. Alone" I signal to him to stand and a lead him to an empty room outside the library. I could feel the stares of my school mates boring at my back and his back. Edward is smiling, he looks so smug. When we pass by his friends they each give him a high five.

"Thank you, I appreciate it." I whispered to the boys as we pass them. They grin at me.

When we entered the empty room and face him, which to my mistake didn't help me from what I was to say. Looking at his eyes were the most amazing thing to look at.

"Okay, can I have your reply" he ask me. He is leaning against the wall crossing his right foot over his left foot.

"Why will you court me" I ask

"Simple" he took a step towards me and spun me around so that I am leaning against the wall. He lean towards me.

"I like you Ms. Swann and I would not stop until you are not my girlfriend." He whispered in my ears that send sparks on my body.

"Okay, I don't mind if you will court me but will you get off me." I tried to push him.

"You know Bella, you are so cute when you look annoyed, but yes I will get off you." He step back.

"Thank you for everything Edward, I appreciate all of these." I simply told him.

"I'm glad you enjoyed your day Bella." He told me

"Well I have to go, see you tomorrow." I told him

"Goodbye Bella" he then approach me and did the most amazing thing. He kiss my cheeks and whispered in my ears. "Sleep tight my Bella."

Well, there you go. That is the longest chapter I have written.

Please review… reviews make me so happy.

I love fanfiction.

Merry Christmas to all of you.
