A New Beginning
Chapter Seven: What happens next?
I was starting too really like Forks. I wonder why…
I couldn't believe it was Friday already! My first two weeks in Forks had gone really well, and my first week at school had gone better than I thought it would.
Everybody was really nice, mostly. I say mostly because there were still people who still whispered and said things about me. Whether it was because I was the new girl or if it was something to do with my being a Mom I didn't know. It was probably both.
Jess and Angela were still being particularly nice to me. It was still really sweet but pretty overwhelming as well. I think Jess had taken it as her job to try and protect me. I didn't need protecting, I could look after myself. But it was still nice all the same.
Math was probably the worst lesson. This was mainly because everybody in the class had found out I was getting extra time on homework. I was using this to my advantage, I hated math and as a result I sucked at it. It had peeved everybody else just a tiny bit.
Biology was now officially my favourite lesson. This was only because I got to talk to Edward. Although after Tuesday he hadn't spoken to me much, I guess he was trying to come up with questions. Jess had realised that I liked him and asked me about it on our way to lunch on Friday.
"I wouldn't waste your time Bella really." She actually had a bit of a sad look on her face when she said this. But I was confused.
"Waste my time on what?" I was confused.
"Edward Cullen." She said this very matter-of-factly as well. Ah. This was what she was getting at. I was going to play dumb now.
"I don't know what you mean Jess." I tried to still sound confused but there was a hint of a smile playing on my lips. Jess noticed this.
"Yes you do! I know you like him Bella, its way to obvious." Jess was smiling her self now.
"It doesn't matter anyway."
"What doesn't matter?" She was confused again now.
"He won't ever be interested in someone like me." I was beating myself up. I always did this when it came to guys.
"Why?"
"Because of Leo, that's why. No teenage boy wants to get involved with a girl who is already a Mom. Why do you think Danny left me? Sorry that was really harsh. I know you were only pointing it out." I felt bad now. I hadn't meant to snap at Jess.
"No of course! I know you didn't Bella. I just didn't know." We were almost to our table in the cafeteria. I wasn't hungry anymore.
Jess sat down and I sat in-between her and Angela. Everybody except Lauren said "Hi", to me. I was still trying to figure out what I had done to Lauren. Mike winked at me again; he was really starting to get on my nerves.
"Not hungry Bells?" Mike asked me.
"Not really." I had lost my appetite after thinking about relationships. Pfft. What relationships Bella? I was being stupid now.
"Watching your weight?" Tyler laughed. Both Jess and I shot him a dirty look which made him shut up. Mike thumped him as well and mumbled something like "Idiot" to him.
"Hey Bella?"
"Yeah?" I answered Angela.
"Are you doing anything this weekend?" Why was she asking me about my weekend?"
"No…Not that I know of. Why?" I looked confused now. Nobody ever asked me to do anything, just because they assumed I couldn't because of Leo. It was either that or they didn't want him to come.
"Jess and I were wondering if you wanted to do something." Angela smiled at me. I was really starting to like her.
"Like what?" I was happy now and I smiled at her.
"Shopping or something." Jess cut in. Ah, shopping. Shopping and Bella were not words to be used in the same sentence together.
"I would have to bring Leo with me…" I left that sentence hanging. Maybe they would change their minds now.
"We know. We figured we could do something we could all do. And I can't wait too see Leo again." Jess said. Aww, really?
"Awesome. I think he's slightly fed up of Forks Police Station now anyway." I laughed. I was looking forward to this now. Jess and Angela both hugged me quickly, which earned a dirty look off Lauren. What was that girl's problem?
Lunch was over quite fast and I was suddenly excited to go to Biology. And then I remembered. I really needed to stop getting my hopes up like that.
I walked into Biology with Angela and walked over to my desk after telling her I would meet her at the end. Before I had even sat down Edward was talking to me.
"I have questions now…" He paused at the end. As if waiting for my reaction.
"Ah." It had taken him two days? "I see. I figured as much."
He looked confused now. "Figured as much?"
"You seemed excited, but also kinda worried. I just figured something must be up." Just then the teacher walked in and began the lesson.
Edward stopped talking then, but about 10 minutes later passed me a note.
Can I ask it then? Only one question?
Sure. Fire away. I passed the note back to him. His writing was so neat! How did anybody get writing like that?!
What happened to Leo's, you know, Dad. He passed the note back to me and looked up as if he was paying attention to the class. This was what he had spent two days coming up with?
He left me. I passed the note back and Edward quickly looked back at me before replying.
Why? I was very tempted to write "Well why do you think?" I didn't though instead I put.
He wasn't interested anymore and said that he didn't want the responsibility of a child. It felt strange writing it, yet good being to tell somebody else. Maybe I should see a counsellor…
Well, he's an idiot. That's all the reply said.
What does that mean? I was confused now. I passed the note back and heard Edward laugh quietly.
It means he's an idiot for leaving you. Oh. Oh! I couldn't help but smile at that. I was still confused though. Did this mean he liked me? Or just that he felt sorry for me. I didn't reply, so Edward took the note back and wrote. Did I offend you? No. Of course not you stupid boy!
No. I'm just confused. I passed the note back and pretended to be listening to the lesson. The teacher didn't look like he cared. Other people were talking and passing notes as well.
Confused about what? I looked at Edward and he smiled at me again. Making me lose my concentration again. How did that boy do that?
Why you care so much. Most boys are generally interested in me or Leo. I passed the note back but instantly regretted saying what I had said.
I'm not most boys, Bella. That made me heart stop beating. I didn't reply and Edward didn't write anything else either. He didn't need too.
After not eating anything at lunch I felt kinda ill the rest of the day. Gym and Math passed by slowly, which was annoying because not only was it a Friday afternoon, I was also feeling rather light – headed.
Math eventually finished and Angela and I met Jess outside Math and walked to my car, but before we got there Jess spotted Edward standing by my car. Own his own.
"Bella." Jess nudged me.
"Ow, Jess that hurt you know!" But then I saw him. "What is he doing there?" I was confused now, but also kinda happy.
"Bella I think you need to forget everything you said earlier, that boy likes you."
"I don't know. I better go see what's up. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye." I quickly hugged Jess and Angela before walking to my car.
"Nice car." Edward stifled a laugh at the end of that sentence.
"What exactly is wrong with my car?" I was slightly miffed now.
"It's just such a girl's car, that's all." A girl's car?
"Well I am a girl in case you hadn't noticed." Stupid boy.
"I had noticed." Edward said before winking at me. Did he actually just wink at me? It took me a moment before I answered him.
"What did you want Edward?"
"Nothing really. I just wanted to see you again before I went home." Edward then smiled at me. Huh?
"Oh." That was all I managed to get out. I couldn't say anything else to that.
Edward laughed before continuing with; "I meant what I said earlier Bella." What did he say earlier?
"What was that again?" I squeaked at the end. I was about to start jumping up and down.
"That I'm not most boys." He smiled at me again before moving away from my car and coming to stand closer to me. "Anyway. I guess I'll see you Monday." I was completely dazzled now.
"Yeah. Monday. Okay then" It sounded a bit garbled.
"Bye Bella." Edward breathed, before walking away.
"Bye…"
I stumbled to my car before trying to breathe again. It was then I realised I was falling in love with Edward Cullen, and there was nothing I could do about it.
