Edward's POV - Fixated
Monday morning came all too soon. I groaned, and stretched out of bed, and went to take a quick shower. When I finished, I got dressed in my new black khaki pants, and a simple black t-shirt. I guess you could say I'd like to admire myself in the mirror. I just liked to see what the girls went nuts over. Call me crazy but it sure feels good to be popular, and wanted. I finally darted downstairs, and headed for the well stocked refrigerator. I chugged the orange juice right from its carton, and I almost choked when I saw the time. I was late. But most of the teachers didn't care. They knew I was a good enough student to warrant being late. My Volvo was my precious gem. I started my prized possession with my automatic car starter. "Oh how priceless." I said to myself. "You're so vain." Alice, my hyper-active sister scorned at me. "Well, I might as well give into it all, since I have it all." I said to her while driving to school.
As I was walking down the hall I could see how all the girls in their classrooms would lean over their desks to get a better look at me. It was predictable sure but familiar all in the while. I was consumed with this life. I was a God. I prolonged my absence from my class just by standing outside the door. When I noticed one girl didn't budge to look at me in the hallway, while all the others in the class were going to tip over in their desks like that scene in Titanic. Yes I saw the movie. Jessica Stanley forced me to watch it. I then entered the class, and made my way to the empty back seat.
The girls were looking at me but I paid them no attention. I was fixated on an entirely different person. I didn't make myself obvious. I didn't want to out myself, or get her on the bad side of all the other females of this school. I pondered to myself as to what I should do about this situation. She definitely wasn't like the others. I saw her chuckle, and it made my day. I wonder what she is laughing at. I weakly said to myself considering my breath had been taken away with her. The Bell rang, and it jolted through me. I heard a loud thud, and thought it was my heart. It had been her text book. I wasn't thinking, and I immediately maneuvered myself winding through all the desks in front of me to get to her book first. Who am I kidding? I wanted to get to her first before any other guy did. "Edward Cullen, at your service." She looked out of breath for someone who didn't move at all. "Uh I'm Bella Swan, and thank you." She then had tilted her head upwards, and our eyes were locked. Just then a bunch of girls yelled my name, and I ran away like a scared little boy. What had I done, just leaving her there? She most likely thinks I'm some hormonal boy looking for his fix.
My other two classes went by quickly. To which I was thankful for. I wanted to find her. All of these damn kids were definitely making it hard for me to see, and think. When I finally ushered in the cafeteria with the other twenty students, I saw her making her way solemnly to a corner table. Why does she look so serious? Why was she sitting alone? I made my way over to her once again gazing at her all the while. "Why are you sitting alone?" I asked Bella. Her name was just music to my ears as I said it in my mind "Well I don't know anyone, and I can't just go to anyone's table, and sit down like I know them." It sounded like she only said that loud enough for my ears to hear. "Well then I guess I'll have to make the first move here." I turned on the charm but I couldn't believe I was hitting on her so early I was breaking my rule I set this morning in class. I had just made every girl in our school envious of Bella. I tried to ease the tension by inviting myself to sit down across from her. She didn't object. But the hundreds of female eyes that pierced us did. I was ruining her here. Why couldn't I just stay away? She was obviously turning red, and I immediately wanted to apologize to her but I didn't have the courage with the whole school observing us. She most certainly didn't ask for this. It looked like she was contemplating her thoughts. Should she stay, or should she go?
