Pursuit of Gaiety
Chapter 6
He's Mine
BPOV
I yawned as I rubbed my eyes sleepily. Gentle, warm rays of sunlight flowed into the dorm room through the window that was positioned above Edward's table. Pulling my covers back clumsily, I turned to glance quickly at the digital clock sitting on Edward's black piano.
7: 37 AM
I dangled my head loosely off the side of my bed to look into the bottom bunk. Was Edward still sleeping? I giggled foolishly at the mere thought of seeing him fast asleep. Does he snore?
His bed was neatly made, the sheets smoothened out and the blanket folded skillfully. Edward was gone. I shrugged dismissively and stretched out my cramped muscles. I snatched my white bag with all my necessities that was placed near my pillow as I climbed down from my bed. It really was a hassle sleeping on the top bunk, I concluded.
Whilst searching drowsily around the room for my uniform, I noticed a small, plastic container on Edward's desk.
What was it? It wasn't there the night before, I was sure.
Curiously, I stumbled towards it to inspect. A delectable aroma hit me right in the face as I approached the white container. A sheet of paper near the container fluttered gently in the small breeze that was coming in from the open window. I veered around to look at the window. The morning sun flashed directly into my eye. I immediately turned away, blind for a few seconds.
The breeze suddenly grew more violent and the paper began to drift onto the floor. Without thinking, I crouched down to pick it up. I noticed the word Isaac on it and was instantly curious. Why was a sheet of paper with my name on it on Edward's desk, I thought inquisitively as I flipped it over to read the contents.
Isaac,
I thought you might like breakfast in bed today, you know, with this being your first morning in the dorms. So, uh, welcome to the dorm, I guess. Next to this note is just some food I picked up at the cafeteria. Um, see you in music class, then.
Your Roommate,
Edward Cullen
I poked at the container in awe and confusion.
Why on earth would Edward Cullen buy me breakfast?
I shrugged as I popped open the container to see what could possibly be in there. Inside, was a bun wrapped around a fried egg, bacon and a spread of melted cheese. I grinned with delight as I picked it out of its container and took a colossal bite.
This was so much better than the stale steak and burnt chips I had last night, I thought as I continued to munch hungrily into the burger. I hadn't noticed how hungry I was until then.
After I'd finished my delicious meal that Edward had so kindly, and mysteriously, bought me, I skipped into the bathroom to brush my teeth and change into my uniform. I looked into the mirror as I was doing up my tie. A streak of barbeque sauce from the burger stained my left cheek. I hurriedly wiped it away with the back of my hand and checked again. All clean.
Pulling my schoolbag over one shoulder, I walked out of the dorm room, my keys jingling in my pocket. I turned the lock after me and started humming my favourite tune as I skipped off towards my truck. I felt so light and carefree today, I decided haphazardly as I jumped into my ancient truck.
I had never been this bouncy before. I shook my head in disbelief as I started my truck's thunderous engine.
A thrill of excitement ran down my spine as I yanked out my schedule and took a peek at my classes today. A double class of Music in the morning. That meant more time to practice for the exam … and more time to spy on Edward …
No! I'm only excited because I'll get more time to practice. DEFINITELY not because of Edward! Even though he did buy me breakfast … What a gentlemen … I wonder why though ... Wait, what am I thinking?!
My inner selves argued endlessly with each other. I shook my head in distress as I strolled off towards my music class, gently humming.
Why did he buy me breakfast, though? That thought refused to go away. I shrugged to myself. Who knows? He's a peculiar young man.
I continued walking towards class when suddenly; out of no where; a massive force shoved me onto the soft, green grass near the pavement which I had previously walked on. I landed with a quiet thud, butt first. I could hear a bucketful of water cascading down from the balcony. The puddle of dirty water was exactly where I was just standing before, I realized in horror. I looked up in fear.
"Isaac! Are you okay?" A smooth, velvet voice asked me. I glanced up to see a standing Edward Cullen towering over me, brushing grass from his pants. A frown was knitted on his brow as he glanced down at me.
Had he not shoved me out of the way, I would have been drenched wet for school, with no change of clothes.
And my identity might be exposed … I clutched at my chest and peered frantically up at the balcony again. Did that person do it on purpose?
Great, another thing to thank Edward for, I made a mental note.
"Yes, yes, I'm fine, thank you for saving me, Edward," I grimaced as he held out his hand. I took it and he effortlessly pulled me up.
"Come on, let's go to class," he dropped my hand as soon as I was steady on my own two feet.
I nodded, a little disappointed. "Yeah, or we're going to be late. Not that the teacher notices or anything."
He chuckled lightly as we walked to music class together.
?POV
It took all the strength in my muscles to haul that bucketful of water into the empty math classroom. But I managed, I noted proudly to myself. I had collected dirty laundry water from the showers for a week to fill this bucket.
Now, all that needs to happen is for that evil Isaac Swan to walk past and he will feel my wrath! I laughed maniacally to myself. My plan was all set, I was ready.
I heard the shuffling of feet from under the balcony I was standing on, my bucket ready to be tipped. I peered down the balcony to see if it was my victim, Swan.
I sighed in annoyance when I realized it wasn't him; it was just stupid, old Mr. Banner. I sat back down on my chair leisurely and waited. I nearly dozed off when I heard a person humming softly. That person was coming closer by the second.
Yes! It was that wrenched Isaac Swan! My plan shall go on!
I picked up my yellow bucket and angled it forwards on the rail of the balcony. I just need him to move one little bit and …
SPLASH!
The water tumbled over the balcony. Isaac will be drenched to the skin, I smiled in pleasure!
Serves him right for trying to steal my man. I had been in love with Eddie-Poo since eighth grade, and did he ever notice me once? No. And now, here comes little Isaac, his roommate, fresh and new, and he even goes to the cafeteria for him. Eddie-Poo never goes to the cafeteria, I remembered and frowned.
I peered down the balcony again to check my deed.
Dang! I didn't get him! I looked past the pavement and on the grass area. And there was Isaac Swan, lying next to my Eddie-Poo. I fumed in fury and threw my bucket half-way across the classroom.
Isaac doesn't deserve Eddie-Poo. I do. I DO.
"I'll get you next time, you little Isaac Swan. Watch your back from now on. How dare you try to steal Eddie-Poo from me? How dare you? He's MINE. Keep your snatchy paws off my man; do you understand me, Isaac?" I hissed down at them angrily, narrowing my eyes to slits.
My scheme did not go exactly as planned, but I will get Isaac. He's going down.
He will not escape my clutches. My fists curled up into a tight ball. My knuckles were turning whiter and whiter.
"Mike Newton? It that you?" I turned around, still shaking from anger. At the doorway, with his head peeking in, was Mr. Banner.
I struggled to keep my voice under control. "Yes, Mr. Banner, it's me."
"Oh, shouldn't you be in class right now?" He smiled.
Was he completely oblivious to my emotional state right now?
I cursed him silently under my breath for ruining my moment. "Come on, Mikey boy!"
I stomped up, taking my bag with me, and followed Mr. Banner out of the classroom.
I'll get you, Isaac Swan, watch out.
Ooooh! Mike Newton looooooooves Eddie-Poo! Anyways, isn't Edward so sweet? Breakfast and a cute note! What happens next?! The only way you can find out is by reviewing! I don't bite! This story is all human! Thanks for your reviews, by the way, love them! So, what are you waiting for?! GO REVIEW!
