CHAPTER FOUR
THE AFTER EFFECT
It's getting harder and harder to say every time but SM owns everything. Damn it.
The sun light beamed through the window and sat right upon me. I pulled the pillow over my head and groaned annoyed at it. Why did I pick this bed? I didn't want to wake up as yet. Then everything slowly slipped into place. I remembered last night with Jacob and that I was on campus right now. I was still trying to adjust to that. College. I should get up right now and get ready.
Wait, is that sunlight shinning through the window. What time was it? I slowly turned and stopped in surprise. It was 7:59 my first class was literally in one minute.
Shit. You've got to be kidding me. I jumped out of bed and fell flat on my face. A super Klutz like me could not not trip over her bag on her first day. Forgetting that I fell over my bag I shoved off the floor, stuck the toothbrush down my throat and pulled my jacket over the tank top I slept in last night. I didn't have time to bathe and a black leather jacket went with any thing right? I put on a little eyeliner to take away the stares at my eye bag and plus a little make up wouldn't hurt now would it. As I jumped up and down to get in my jeans I threw the toothbrush onto my bed and I grabbed my bag with one new notebook in it.
Fuck. What class did I have and where? Fuck Bella you do not do these things on the first day of school. I had the crumpled time table in my hand and chanted what I had now, Math in room 101. Great out of all the subjects it had to be math. I hated math with a great passion.
Jessica and Lauren were both still in bed."Geez. Bella keep it down" Jessica hissed.
"Don't you have class?" I spat back.
"Nope. Lauren and I don't have classes until nine. So would you keep it down? I need my sleep. I need to look good on my first day you know unlike some of us." I rolled my eyes and sprinted out the door.
Running with all the velocity I could ever gain I looked back into the time table once more. Where the fuck was room 101? Concentrating so much I ran right into a wall.
Ouch! Who the fuck puts a wall in the middle of a hall!
The unexpected blow sent me on the floor falling with an audible thud on my ass. As I looked up I comprehended my situation. At least that I thought it was a wall.
I had in fact ran into a boy who was only well built he glanced at me throwing an infuriated look and called "Fucking bitch!"
Oh my god his eyes!
That set me off. I was already in a bad mood and responded "Fucking asshole!" He had heard me. He stopped for a brief minute and looked over his shoulder at me. Look like I wasn't the only one who was in a bad mood.
But then he just took off. That would have been a good excuse for being late.
I began reading the numbers on the doors as I passed by 201,202,203. Fuck I was running in the wrong direction. Immediately I change my path and headed towards the direction that jackass had run to. As the numbers decreased above the doors a flood of relief washed through when I reached room 101. I skidded to a halt and stood in front the door way. I took a few breathes to calm me down and straighten my clothes.
I reached out to push the door open but pushed with a little too much force. Oops,hehe. The doors swung open and rebounded against the inside walls. All eyes were on me and I mean all eyes and the teacher glared. I felt my cheeks turn incredibly hot. I took in all of my audience and held my head high with a big stupid grin in return to them. On the inside I felt like a total jackass for being such a loser but I had a pretense to keep up.
"Nice of you to join us Miss..."
"Swan, Bella Swan." The effects of watching James Bond. Most of the stares I got from the class screamed RETARD or MORON.
"So Miss Swan do you mind telling us why you are late." I couldn't tell him the truth.
What should I tell him!
"Sir I think you would rather not know." Some of the people who sat close to where I was standing heard me and began snickering.
"Sorry Miss Swan but I didn't hear you. Could you speak up please?" His voice had so much authority in it I thought he might want that in my response.
"Sir, I forgot to set my alarm, sir." I had to stifle a laugh at my ridiculous answer. The military 'sir'? Bella you could do so much better. This thing was turning into a joke. I walked into the room and plopped down on the nearest empty seat. The blond boy who sat next to me kept staring and it made me feel awkward.
"Hi." I said and waved a hand at him.
"Hi" He flicked a smile at me and buried himself back into the teacher's conversation. Nerd.
Great Bella! I thought to myself. This is one nice way to start on your first day. First I wake up late then piss off my math teacher and now I get stuck next to a nerd. Not to mention that wall slash boy I ran into. He kind of got to me. Like the way he got aggravated fast. It would have been easy to get in a fight with him but not on the first day. What got to me the most was I didn't get to see his face. I only got to see his back. His stance was straight which should mean that he was definitely well toned. And his tousled bronze hair…the way it fell… I can't explain it…I don't know it just caught me.
But what had me most was his eyes. They were so…green. I have never seen anything like it. They were beyond Emerald. They were a new shade of green. A very sexy new green. And they were captivating but most of all hypnotizing. I was sure for a split second I had lost it.
Bella Swan you need to get yourself together. I thought to myself. I felt like a puzzle scattered all over the floor.
The first two hours of my new school on my first day dragged. By the middle of them I was yawning and tapping my pencil impatiently on the desk. Apparently the guy I sat next to, name was Mike. He kept raising his hand to answer nearly every question.
It was a relief when Mr. Harris, my math teacher, dismissed us. I didn't want to be the first to get up to upset the teacher more neither did I want to be last. I walked out the door and pulled out the crumple time table from my jeans. I had English next. I let out an audible sigh. Room 201. Funny isn't it I was headed in that direction again the one I had been going in this morning, the wrong way. I dragged my feet, shuffling in and out of the crowd. Before I even got halfway through a voice rung, "You two in my office now!" I immediately turned around. He was talking to me wasn't he? The way he glared at me made me think he was trying to burn a hole into my skull. But who was the other person?
Mr. Anderson turned his back to me and walked into his office. I followed but didn't see anyone else following. I walked into his office and went right up to his desk. He didn't say anything. So I helped myself to one of the seats in front him. He still didn't say anything. He had his nose deeply buried in one of his files. Slowly he raised his head from his files and shoved up his glasses higher on his nose.
"Miss Swan well you have an incredible report here. I don't see wh-" He stopped abruptly when the door opened. I followed his gaze. That was him! That was the guy I ran into earlier.
"Well Mr. Cullen nice of you to join us." Mr. Anderson said. The Cullen guy closed the door and looked up at us. His eyes! I've never seen anything like it before. They were so green, emerald green. So gorgeous. We locked gazes for a brief second and he looked annoyed at me. Did I do something? Well besides running into him. He continued to ignore me and looked back at Mr. Anderson. Slowly he took the seat besides me and continued staring at the teacher.
"Yes Miss Swan as I was saying. Why were you late this morning?"
"Sir I already told you, I forgot to set my alarm." He didn't look convinced. I didn't blame him. I couldn't lie to save my life.
"Yes I know that but how is it both of you have the same excuse for being late on both your first day." So Cullen was late also. "Do you two know each other?"Mr. Anderson went on.
"No." We both answered together. He sounded like he was pissed that Mr. Anderson even asked that question. I had tried to make my voice sound annoyed just as his expression was when he first walked in. Cullen found that surprising and turned my way. I ignored his gaze and kept straight at Mr. Anderson.
"Okay Bella. Since you have a good history I'll let you off with a warning. You can go know. Mr. Cullen, You on the other hand have some talking to do. May I as- Bella you can leave now." I nodded a little and hurried out the door and softly closed it but I didn't move. Seems like what Mr. Anderson was about to say was private. Oh cut me some slack, I'm a girl. Just because I 'm quiet doesn't mean I am not into some juicy gossip. I stood there and pressed my ear to the wooden door. Most of it was murmur but some of it was understandable.
"Edward, May I ask why you were found on school grounds last night with your friends with alcohol let alone abusing another students property."
"I don't think that's any of your business." He sounded completely calm.
Mr. Anderson sighed softly. "Edward what I've seen here is that your graded have dwindle magnificently through your last moth of high school. The only subject that you seem to like is English. Do you want to talk about that?"
"Sir. That is REALLY NONE of YOUR BUSINESS." Cullen spoke with so much anger in his voice.
"Edward calm down but you know your uncle and I know each other pretty well I just want to know why you're acting this way since the past couple of months." Something hard slapped what sounded like the desk. Quickly I turned around and headed away I was sure that he'd come out of there any minute know and would be really angry to find someone eavesdropping on his business. I was halfway down the hall when I heard Edward yell,
"THAT IS NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS! IS THAT WHAT CARLISLE PAID YOU TO DO COUNCIL ME TRY TO GET IN MY FUCKING HEAD! WELL YOU TELL HIM I SAID TO STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!" With that I didn't even dare turn around. I heard a door slam protesting against the jab. Edward stormed past me muttering a few cuss and disappeared around the corner.
What the fuck! Did he just seriously cuss a teacher! Is he insane? What the fuck was wrong with him?
That must have been the not-so-worst-thing he did for the day so far. The way he acted made him look like delinquent. Like if he lived off drugs. I can't believe someone so handsome doing shit like that. I mean I like him for his looks but that was just ridiculous it just made me want to hate him more.
I continued walking to my English class in a haze.
"No need to be so glum on your first day kid" a vaguely familiar voice said a little way behind me. I turned around and looked right at Jacob. Finally some cheer.
"I not glum. I'm just bored" I lied. It kind of was interesting only for the Cullen part. I guess the rum was getting to his brains.
"Already? It's not even halfway through your fist day yet."He let out a little laugh.
"I had Math." He gave me a questioning look. "I hate Math and plus I think I pissed of the teacher." I explained.
"Oh and how'd you do that?"
"Well I ran into class, pelted the door open and oh yeah I was late." He laughed again. "Hey don't laugh at me and it was your fault."
"My fault? How?" He looked offended.
"If I remember correctly you challenged me last night on my bike. Which by the way you lost at"
"Mhmm. But if I remember correctly you were the one who started it. And also I did not lose it wasn't even a proper race."
He was correct; I was the one who started it. "Yes you did lose and it was a race because you kept going."
"No it wasn't." He paused and looked at me. When he realized I was going to argue he spoke. "Fine. Rematch. Tonight, meet me at the Black Wolves." I arched an eyebrow. "The bar we stopped in front."
"Okay deal. What time?" I asked.
"Eight cause I don't want you being late tomorrow and then blame it on me." I grinned at him only to lead him into doing the same thing. "So what class do you have now?" He asked, striking up a conversation to break the silence between us.
"English" I answered sounding bored.
"English?" He repeated.
"That's what I said didn't I"
"No…I was making sure because I have English too."
"That's great! At least I won't be bored straight through class." He laughed. He always laughed at anything. Jacob was a cheerful guy.
We both entered the classroom stopping at the doorway. I scanned the room looking for two empty seats together.
"Look there!" I said, pointed showing him the second to last row. He led on. We both got settled into our seats and drowned ourselves into conversations waiting for the teacher. Tried of the position I was in I leaned back to get myself comfortable again and continued our aimless conversation. Briefly during my repositioning my eyes flicked at the figure just walking in. It was him.
Subconsciously I let out a disgusted feeling. "Ugh." I rolled my eyes.
Jacob seemed to have realized the reaction. "Do you know him?"
"No!" I said a little too loudly.
Cullen walked in unaffected by the staring eyes and sat by this huge muscular guy who looked a little frightening. He was just so muscular but alright looking. Both of them started talking and laughing immediately. The class or I should say the girls abruptly found a new topic to talk about.
The two girls in the desks in front of Jacob and I were talking a little too loud for a whisper.
"Oh my God. He I sooo hot !" she squealed. The other one chimed in.
"Well this is a first." I cocked on eyebrow.
"What?" He looked at me smugly
"You're the first girl that I met here that doesn't scream their hearts out at Cullen. Why?"
Seriously? "I don't know I mean he is good looking but what pisses me off at him is he an asshole."
"What? Have you even talked to the guy how you could say that?"
"Hey whose side are you on? And yes I have talked to him …. Kinda."
"I'm just curious. So why don't you like him?"
"Well you know how I was late this morning, right?" He nodded. "Well I was running and then Wham!" I knocked my two hands together showing him what happened. "I run straight into what seems like a wall but when my senses come back I'm on my ass because I ran into that." I pointed at him. When I realized I was pointing I withdrew my hand right away. Jacob began laughing uncontrollably. He clutched his stomach and laughed harder. His face was all red. When the girls in front turned around I hid behind my hair and bowed my head ashamed at Jacob.
When he straightened up I asked, "Are you done?" He nodded still smiling.
"Go on." He said motioning me on with his hands.
"Well when I got up he kept running and yelled 'fucking bitch' at me" I said in a poor impression of his voice. "So I yelled back 'fucking asshole'. I shrugged my shoulders.
"Well well Miss Swan has attitude. Is there more"
I opened my mouth to say something nothing came out. I felt kind of reluctant to tell him about Mr. Anderson's office. I guess it was private to Edward but I don't like going around bragging everyone's business. As much as I hate him I didn't want to let out something like that.
"No that's it. I don't know" I sighed. "I just don't like him. He makes me shudder."
"Yeah I know what you mean. He's weird."
"No. He's a jackass."
He laughed again. Seriously this is one happy kid. "You're funny you know that."
"Thanks." I said as I raised both my eyebrows and rolled my eyes."
"Geez, is this teacher even coming or what?" I threw my hands up in the air. He laughed again. "Seriously dude you need to stop laughing at everything it's freakishly annoying." For Christ sakes.
"Well I sorry for being such a happy person. Forgive me mother for I have sinned. Any how didn't you here Mrs. Simone called in sick this morning? She must be pregnant again. I mean that must be the most fertile woman I ever met."
Okay then. "Don't they have replacements?"
"Nope. Bella this isn't high school." That was my cue. I immediately picked up my bag and headed out the door. But before I even got that far Jacob called after me.
"Hey where are you going?"
I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know up to my room or take my bike for a spin, just away from here."
Jacob flew to my side and grinned. "Maybe I won't need to wait that long to find out who the fastest is then, huh?"
"Maybe, maybe not. I am feeling a little tired." To emphasize on what I was saying I stretched dramatically. He frowned a little and I laughed at him this time.
"I'm going to get the bikes." And with that he skipped off.
Maybe things won't be tha-
Something light went flying into my head. I looked down at where it fell. It was a crumpled piece of paper. As I snapped my head up to find the criminal I caught Cullen and his friend laughing. I snatched the paper in my hand and marched over to them.
This was getting out of hand. You're in college for god's sake not in high school. They were acting immature.
"I believe you dropped one of your balls Cullen." Give me a break. Everyone's partially perverted that is unless you are some really, really boring person. His friend let out a booming laughter.
"That's okay Swan you can have it." I truly was not in the mood for this.
"Whatever.." I flicked my hand and the paper sought my target; his head. Everything else happened so fast after that. He was out of his seat and up in my face. His hands were tightly fisted. He was too easy to aggravate. Way too easy.
"You have a problem Swan!" Uh…let me think … Duh Cullen!
"As a matter of fact yes I do and that problem is you!" I bawled as I tip toed to reach in his face.
He let out a gust of air almost like he was holding it in all the time. His breath washed me through. Sweet and intoxicating.
God he was hot.
But it didn't change how I felt now. Well maybe a little but it didn't.
"I'm your problem! How the fuc-"
His friend cut him off. "Edward. Fuck man control yourself she only gave back the paper the way you gave it. Shut your fucking cunt and sit down!" He glared terrifyingly at Edward. He was really scary. There are no words for his big self.
Edward let out a sigh and shook his head. Slowly went back to his seat and started laughing to his friend. "There is no fucking way you're getting me to apologize to that bitch, Emmett" I flinched. Though his voice was sexy and his words were soft it hurt tremendously. Everyone was starting at me by now. I felt the heat flood my cheeks and I scurried out the room. I didn't know I was crying until I reached the bathroom and checked the mirror.
I was so soft and I hated myself for that. Edward's words were cold and harsh. Coming from a complete stranger should not have affected me but it went right down to my core.
I washed my face but still felt the effect of Edward freaking Cullen. I needed to get it out of my system. I grabbed my bag pack and swung it over my shoulder.
And then with all my strength I cuffed the wall.
So yeah I feel like if I'm writing to my English teacher. Geez. No reviews. Well I am sorry for being the way I am. What do you all think so far? Okay so I'm this kind of music-holic person and basically I'm the DJ for my class, Yes I'm a girl, and I want to know what are some of the songs you'd recommend.:) Here is one song I'd personally recommend. I know its really old but I love it! Hey Juliet by LMNT. So any tips for a future DJ and no I would not play Hey Juliet at a party.
By the way-
No reviews =no inspiration=no more chapters=no story.
If you haven't notice I'm kind of an aggressive person. So bits of fights may start in the story. SO remember post me your favourite songs.
