Phew. Here's another chapter to my story. Hope you enjoy it. I'm not sure anyone is even reading this, but I have so many ideas in my mind that I need to write them all down. Here you go, please tell me if I should make any changes.
I'm not Stephenie Meyer, and I don't own anything.
Shout outs: Thea, this chapter may seem a little familiar to you…
Ali, sorry about all the crap going on with you guys, but Ellis and I are with you all the way. Love you both!
EPOV
Her name was Bella. Bella Swan.
It all started at lunch. I couldn't stop thinking about her through all of my classes. She's just so perfect! When fourth period was over, I met Jazz and Em, and we walked out to the cafeteria. Earlier that morning I had decided that I was going to talk to her. Now was my chance.
I never thought I would say this, but Thank God for Rosalie Hale! She made that happen. I bought my food – a disgusting piece of pizza that was so greasy, my entire tray was covered in oil, and a diet coke – and the three of us went to go find a table. We stood next to the line for about five minutes before we saw Rose walking up to us. Emmett got this big goofy grin on his face as she kissed him on the cheek. She turned to us and said "Hey guys, I wanna introduce you to my new friends." I sighed but went along with it hoping that it wouldn't take very long. I still needed to find that girl.
She dragged us over to the center of the cafeteria. I kept my head down all the entire way, not wanting to see all of the other people watching us. When we stopped, I lifted my head.
Fuck. There she was. Standing with the little one again. Both were hyperventilating. I laughed mentally to myself. We all just stood there waiting for somebody to say something. Rosalie finally spoke up. "Okay, I guess I'll introduce everybody." I waited. "Em, Edward, Jazz, this is Alice." The little one curtsied. It was kinda cute. I saw Jazz ogle her while she was bent over. I rolled my eyes.
My girl chuckled and put her hand on her hip. Damn! That pose made her look even sexier. Rose turned to my girl and said "And, this is Bella. She and Alice are cousins." So that's why they're always hanging around with each other. Bella- eh, I prefer My Girl- curtsied, and the blush that crept up her face was absolutely adorable.
I ignored Rose as she introduced Jazz and Em to Alice and Bella. Instead I stared at My Girl, completely fascinated. She was just so beautiful! I faded in and out of the conversation going on next to me. The only thing I heard was "Although he may seem very intimidating, trust me. He's just a big teddy bear. I've seen him kill a fly and then cry about it for twenty minutes." I internally laughed at the memory.
We were all sitting on the couch, and Emmett saw a fly on the coffee table. He smacked it, not realizing that would actually kill it. He cried on Rosalie's shoulder as Jazz and I attempted to hold in our laughter.
I snapped out of my flashback when Rose nonchalantly said my name. "And this is Edward." She shrugged and turned back to Emmett. Bitch. "Gee thanks, Rose."
I turned back to look at my girl. Her lips were slightly parted and her eyes grew larger. I couldn't help but smile. She was so cute when she was surprised. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Edward, get a hold of yourself! Why are you using words like 'cute' and 'adorable'? You're Edward fucking Cullen! You don't use those words. Ever.
But she's so cute!
Fuck, Edward! STOP!
Never hahahaha!
Damn! What's happening to you?
I'm in looooove!
No Edward! Stop singing NOW! Dear lord, something horrible wrong is happening!
I wanted to smack myself for having this mental conversation. I really do think I need therapy. What kind of guy has mental conversations with himself, anyway?
When I snapped back into reality, I was happy to see that the scene hadn't changed. Jazz, Em, Rose, Bella and Alice were all standing there having an awkward silence- apparently those happen a lot at this school- and everyone else in the cafeteria was staring, just waiting for our next move.
"Why don't we go find a table 'cause I'm starving?" Alice's piercingly high, sing-song voice rang through the entire cafeteria. I had to avoid wincing, it was so loud.
Everyone agreed, and we all went to find a table. I was last to sit down, and as soon as my ass hit the bench, I smelled something delicious. I turned my head in the direction of everyone else's. There on the table was the best looking fettuccini I had ever seen. Bella looked up from her food and smiled. Damn, she was so fucking cute!
Edward, do you want to get in another fight with yourself?......I didn't think so.
"Um, can I help you guys with something?" Her voice was so extraordinary. It sounded like the ringing of bells. Haha, get it? Bells, Bella. Get it?
SHUT. UP. EDWARD! I can't believe that I can be so childish at times. Ugh.
I looked back at the food. Emmett, who is always thing about food, was the first to speak up. "That smells fucking amazing, Bella," he said, a little louder than necessary. She just laughed and asked if he wanted a plate. That was a stupid question. Emmett always wants food, even if he just ate.
"FUUUUHHHCCKK!" Emmett yelled across the cafeteria. Soon, all eyes were on him. He blushed and turned back to Bella. "Bella, this is the best thing I've ever tasted in my life!" She grinned and quietly thanked him.
The rest of us slowly got up and threw our food away.
Apparently she can read minds, because when we sat back down, she was already serving us plates of the "amazing" fettuccini. I got mine last, and as soon as out\r hands met, I felt a shock. We both flinched back, and the plate of fettuccini landed between us. The sauce splattered all over my face, and Bella's hand was instantly covering her mouth, her eyes wide with shock. Everyone else snickered as she went to pull a napkin out of her backpack.
I smiled at her and gratefully took the napkin. I took a bite of fettuccini as she apologized. "I'm really sorry." I rolled my eyes and reassured her. "It's O.K. And, Emmett is right," That's a first. "This is the best thing I've ever tasted in my life!" I continued eating fervently. She seemed somewhat smug. I chuckled.
We went through the rest of lunch not talking save for the occasional moan or groan coming from Emmett as he stuffed his face with fettuccini. I have to admit, My Girl knew how to cook.
~~*~~*~~
I had biology right after lunch. The second I walked in, a fan was blowing freezing cold air directly in my face. I squinted my eyes and made my way over to the teacher's desk. I handed him my slip, and he read it aloud to the entire class.
"Alrighty, Mr. Cullen. Since you are new here and don't have a lab partner, you will be paired up with Miss Swan." My entire body froze. He seriously did not just say Miss Swan, did he? I nodded and turned around. Sure enough, there she was. She grinned at me and went back to what she was doing. I took a deep breath and slowly made my way over to the table. I had to refrain from doing a touchdown dance when I got there, for fear I might seem rude or even more crazy than I already am, what with the voices in my head and all.
I took my seat and pulled out a notebook and a pencil. I began doodling. I heard Bella rip a piece of paper out of her notebook, and sure enough, two seconds later, the note was night in front of me. I looked at the teacher who was still giving his lecture, and decided that I wouldn't get caught. I opened it up, and read what she wrote.
What are you humming?
I hadn't even realized I was humming. It's just a force of habit. I sometimes catch myself, but I've never had someone else catch me. I pondered over her question and my eyes got wide when I realized what I was humming.
You'll laugh at me.
I flicked the note back at her, and she looked at the teacher before opening it. She rolled her eyes.
That doesn't answer my question. I promise I won't laugh.
You promise? God, I sound like I'm three again.
YES! NOW TELL ME WHAT YOUR HUMMING!
Ugh. It's Over by Jesse McCartney. :(
HAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm sorry, but that's hilarious!
Hey! You promised you wouldn't laugh!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Do you know the words?
Because: Cause I'm not coming back, I'm closing the door. I used to be tripping over missing you, but I'm not anymore. I got the picture phone, baby your picture's gone! Couldn't stand to see your smile, every time you dial cause IT'S OOOVER! Girl you know it's over this time! So when you call, I'm pressing seven. Don't wanna hear your voice on my messages, I'm trying to erase you from my mind. Cause it's over! Girl I swear it's over this time. So don't keep calling leaving messages. Don't wanna know where you been. Baby 'cause it's over. I still wake up every morning quarter to ten. I still eat my cereal right at the kitchen table. I can't even remember how long it's been. No trouble staying occupied…
Jesus Christ. You do actually know the lyrics.
Haha, of course I do! I know the lyrics to all songs. Name any song and I'll probably know the lyrics.
Black and Gold by Sam Sparro?
Ok, not that one. Gimme something I've actually heard of.
Fuck me Pumps?
Seriously. You could have given me any other Amy Winehouse song, but NO! You choose the one I don't know the lyrics to. Another.
Such Great Heights.
I am thinking it's designed. That the freckles in our eyes are mirror images, and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned. I have to speculate. That if God himself did make us into corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces on the way. They will see us waiting from such great heights. "Come down, now," they'll say. But everything is perfect from far away. "Come down, now." But we'll stay.
Yowza. Okay, Close to Me.
I don't know. Another.
Half Mast?
Nope.
Okay, you give me one.
Decode.
Seriously? But you think that I can't see what kind of man that you are. If you're a man at all. Well, I will figure this one out. On my own. On my own. How did we get here? I used to know you so well…blah blah blah.
Haha, impressive.
Hehe. So fun. Now give me another one.
Hmm. Okay…Tissue Shoulders.
Umm…What the hell is that?
Fine, a different one. Yesterday by Atmosphere.
Ok, I know you're trying to wow me with your impressive knowledge of indie bands that only 2 people have heard of but…GIVE ME SOMETHING I MIGHT KNOW!
First of all, Atmosphere is not an indie band. It's not even a band! And, second of all, FINE! How about 'The Rifle'
LaLaLa……My ancestors………LaLaLa……THE RIFLE
Nice, but no. You give me one.
Ok, Back to Black. I'll kill you if you don't know this one.
We only said goodbye with words. I died 100 times. You go back to her, and I go back to. I go back to…Earth.
Yeah. I like "Kept his dick wet, with his same, old safe bet."
Of course, just as she passed it to me the teacher walked by. I shoved it down my shirt, and looked straight ahead at the board. He walked by and didn't seem to notice.
That's very nice. Now, give me another song.
LIP GLOSS!
UGH! Sitting in 8th period, thought I was in trouble. Dean called me on the loud speaker on the double. I stepped in the office like 'Yes, Ms. McClarkson?' she's like 'Girl, I ran out of my lip gloss and write down where you get yours from 'cause I must admit, that bubblegum is popping, is popping, is popping' she ain't fronting… Another.
You never finished Close to Me.
I told you, I don't know that one. Ok, now, you sing lyrics and I'll tell you what song it's from.
Ok. AIN"T NOTHING BUT A HEARTACHE! TELL ME WHY! AI'NT NOTHING BUT A MISTAKE! TELL ME WHY! I NEVER WANNA HEAR YOU SAY 'I WANT IT THAT WAY!'
Duh, I Want it That Way. The Backstreet Boys. Off the album, Millennium.
Right when I passed the note to her, the bell rang. She got out of her seat before me. "Impressive." She smiled and then added "Will we be singing tomorrow?" II chuckled and said "Possibly." With that, I picked up my bag and walked out of the classroom. I'm in love!
It didn't even occur to me how gay I sounded in those notes. And I still don't give a flying fuck. She's mine, and she likes me for who I am. Well, at least I ink she does.
Out of the blue, she came up behind me. "Edward, can I ask you something?" I turned around. "Shoot." She looked into my eyes and took a deep breath. "Okay, how opposed would you be to going out with me?"
That caught me off guard. I stared at her, my eyes wide with shock, before asking "How opposed would you be to going out with me?" She laughed a little,, but then blushed and looked down at her hands. "Not very." Wow, then I guess we should probably start going out." She looked back up at me "Yeah, I guess we should. But, I've only known you for a few hours. Let me get to know you a little better first." I agreed with her. We had only known each other for about 2 hours. We could give it a little time. "I agree with you completely." She smiled and said, "Meet me at the Starbucks down the block, right after school." I grinned. "I'll be there." And with that, we went to our next classes.
BPOV
I have a date with Edward – I hate to use this word – FUCKING Cullen! I'm so excited.
After lunch, I went straight to my biology class. I was sitting, doing my work, when I hear the teacher say "Alrighty, Mr. Cullen. Since you are new here and don't have a lab partner, you will be paired up with Miss Swan." My entire body froze. He seriously did not just say Miss Swan, did he? I looked up, and saw Edward looking at me. I grinned, but my heart was beating so fast that I had to quickly put my head down and attempt to focus on what I was doing.
He came and sat down next to me. My breathing hitched. He pulled out a notebook and began doodling. My palms began to sweat. He started humming, and I froze. I recognized the tune, but I couldn't put a name to it. I pulled out a piece of paper and wrote a quick note. Next thing I know we're in the middle of a discussion of music lyrics.
When the bell rang, I was in complete and utter shock. I wasn't in control of my body. "Impressive." I smiled then added "Will we be singing tomorrow?" Where was this coming from? I didn't even hear his response, because I was too busy sorting out all of the things that had just happened.
The next part was really weird. I won't bore you with the details, but I will tell you that it involved me asking Edward out! I had no clue what was going on, and needless to say, I now have a date with Edward Cullen at Starbucks.
As soon as the final bell rang, I ran outside and hopped in my car. The day I moved here, Alice insisted on buying me a new car. I didn't see what was wrong with vintage red truck, but Alice claimed that "In New York, that truck wouldn't be considered vintage, it would be considered a piece of crap." I unenthusiastically agreed because though she may be small, she can really pack a punch.
Now I drive Ferrari. It's sleek and black, and I truly love it. I didn't think I would, but who can say no to beauty? I take very good care of my baby. His name is Chuck. It was originally going to be Alfredo, but I decided that I didn't want people to think I was talking about pasta when I was referring to my car. So, I chose Chuck. Chuck got me where I needed to go, and fast. I was at the Starbucks in less than 30 seconds.
There were only a few cars in the lot when I arrived, but I didn't know what Edward's car looked like, so I decided to walk in and see if he was there. He wasn't. I sat at a table and waited. A minute later, I saw someone sit down across from me. "Hey Edward." I looked up from my magazine to see that it was not Edward sitting across from me. "Who's Edward?" The kid asked. He had sandy blonde hair, and bright blue eyes. He still hadn't lost all of his baby fat, and he wasn't extremely attractive.
"A better question would be 'who are you?'" I waited. He laughed, stuck out his hand and said "I'm Mike. Mike Newton."
And thus the story begins. Sorry to leave you guys here, but I have to organize all of my thoughts. Plus I need you to absorb all of that in.
Thea, I'm sorry I didn't mention Gilbert, I know that's what you were expecting. And I never said it wasn't notes either. Hoped you enjoyed it.
Please review. If you do, I'll squeal like Alice. I also need suggestions for the next chapter.
Looooooove always,
