Chapter 3

EPOV

My next class is a study hall. Boring but also a blessing because I can zone out and concentrate on this piece of paper that is burning a hole in my pocket. Of course, as soon as I get seated, my friend Emmett sits down next to me. He is on our football team and is huge. The entire school worships him. The guys especially because his girlfriend is Rosalie Hale. Who happens to be friends with my sister and Bella. Yeah, she is pretty and all, but not like my Bella.

"Hey man, what are you up to?" Emmett roars.

"Same shit different day." I reply.

Then a guy comes over to Emmett that I have never met before.

Emmett introduces him "Edward, this is Jasper Whitlock. Jasper, this is my buddy Edward."

Jasper gives me a nod and sits down. I space out as Emmett and Jasper talk about nothing of substance. All I keep thinking about is how I want to read that damn paper in my pocket.

Emmett punches me on the arm to break me from my reverie, "Hey man, I said are you going to the dance tonight? I am taking Rose but I think you and Jasper should come too and we can get you some women."

"I don't think so Emmett" I spew. "I don't want any of the sluts that you try to hook me up with."

"Oh come on Eddie. We need to get you laid."

"No Emmett, I do not want to get some sexually transmitted disease."

This goes on for what seems like forever until I concede to going to the damn dance. Although I laid down the law, no hoes. Emmett seemed satisfied for the moment.

Thank god the bell rang and it was time for lunch. I couldn't wait any longer to read this paper. Instead of going to the typical table with Emmett and everyone, I went outside to sit under one of the trees. I wanted to be alone. I pulled the paper from my pocket and started to read. I started to laugh as I went through the "getting to know you" quiz that Bella had filled out.

What kinds of music do I like? Not the crap most people my age like. I love Debussy's Clair de Lune, Muse, classical music, AC/DC, Paramore. Get the picture?

'Wow' I thought. I was waiting for something like Backstreet Boys or god forbid the Jonas Brothers, but she picked some of my favorites. But, I am not completely surprised. I have caught her watching me play piano from time to time.

What is your favorite color? Green

What is your favorite food? Ravioli, but then again anything that I actually cook is pretty good. Not too trusting on other peoples cooking. I am sick of fish!!!!

That made me laugh out loud. I knew her father, Chief Swan, lives to go to La Push and fish. He must bring home his catch a lot.

What are your plans for after high school? I want to go to Dartmouth for college. Be a successful writer. Travel the world.

Another interesting tidbit. I was looking at Dartmouth too. God wouldn't it be nice if we went together?

The next couple questions knocked the wind right out of me.

Who do you love/like? Edward Cullen

Who would you want to spend the rest of your life with? Same as above.

Does this person know? NO!!!!!

Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. She likes me. Oh Mary mother of Jesus. She likes me. She wants to be with me. I sat in a daze for what seemed like forever. Is she telling the truth? What do I do now? If I go up to her and say something, will she know I read the quiz? I can't say 'Hey Bella, I feel the same way'. AHHH What do I do? Okay, calm down, don't panic. I am a smart guy. I can figure this out right. No you dumb shit. If you could figure it out you would already be with her. DAMN!!!! I don't want the torture, but I think I need to get help. It is time for a talk with the pixie.
