A/N: I'm still new, so please work with me. Read and Review. Enjoy~
So far, this new school thing has been utterly boring and it's only my fifth period.
Edward me off to this class and left. For some reason that got EVERYONE whispering and stealing glances at us. Oh well, I guess these guys like to gossip too.
I walked in the class and found an empty seat towards the back.
While waiting for the bell to ring I watched the rest of the class file in. I saw a shy girl walk to the back alone and took the seat next to me. She had long, wavy brown hair and she seemed to hide behind her glasses. This girl seemed nice and quiet. We might become really good friends.
As soon as I was about to introduce myself, this loud, obnoxious female barged into the class. She was with a group who I assumed are considered the "cool people". But then she made eye contact with me and got hot-headed for some reason.
She hollered "What are you doing in my seat?!"
Is this girl serious? We aren't in elementary school anymore. What is she talking about "in her seat"?
She spoke again.
"Umm… are you deaf? Do you hear me talking to you?" While talking she was popping her gum on every other word.
Oh hell no. I might be quieter than most people but I surely don't take crap either. She has crossed the line. I blew up on her.
"First off, let me get things straight. You aren't about to come in here talking to me like you have lost your mind. Other people might take that BS from you but not me. And you especially ain't about to scream at me because of some seat in a class. Grow up. This isn't elementary school. So I suggest you go find another seat rather than acting like a kindergartener and standing there screaming. There's plenty here. Or maybe you can go tell the teacher on me since you want to act like a child." The minute I said that, the room grew deathly quiet. You could hear a pen drop. While everybody waited for my new friend to have a comeback, I just sat back with my arms crossed across my chest. I am done with this argument and I surely am not moving. So she can say what she wants. It won't faze me.
She finally does something. Simply blows her gum in a bubble and sticks out her hand. When the bubble pops she says, "I'm Tanya." The room is still quiet as she talks.
Is she really trying to be civil after pissing me off? Um, No ma'am. I look down at her hand.
"And I'm not giving a fuck," I told her rolling my eyes and looking away.
The room erupts with "Ooooooohs". I don't really care. It doesn't bother me a bit.
She quickly debates what she should do next and decides to go take a seat in the front of the class. As she does so, the teacher walks in.
"Okay class! Today we were going outside, but it started ra..." she trails of as she notices me. "Oh you must be the new student, Isabella Swan?"
"Just Bella." I reply as I stood up and smiled at her.
"Okay well it's nice to meet you, Bella," she gives me a warm smile. "I'm Ms. Baxter"
"Nice to me you as well, Ms. Baxter," I replied still keeping the smile glued to my face.
The class continued as normal and I finally got to talk to the quiet girl beside me. Her name was Angela Webber. She was very sweet and it's good to know that. At least I would get to go home with one friend. She also told me that nobody has ever gone off on Tanya like that before. There's a first time for everything.
When the class bell finally rang I gathered my bag and headed towards the door. Now on to lunch. When I reached the hallway, I was quickly greeted by Edward. Edward. Edward. Edward. I don't know what it is about him.
He placed his hand on my back once again, which made the electricity course through me again, and lead me towards the cafeteria. He had invited me to eat lunch with the rest of his family. I agreed of course.
He took me through the lunch line. I got a slice of greasy pepperoni pizza, a bottle of lemonade, a small side salad, and an ice-cream sandwich. I possibly have an obsession with them.
When I got to the front of the line, I was about to pull out the lunch money Charlie gave me this morning, but Edward was already handing the lunch lady some of HIS money for me. That was so sweet of him to do that for me, but I also could have paid for my own lunch.
"I was going to do it myself, Edward. There was no ne…"
He stops walking and faces me staring right in my eyes. It's like we went off into our own world.
"Hush," he placed a finger on my lip."It's okay. I wanted to do it anyways."
That was all he needed to do to keep me quiet. He gave me a wink and proceeded to his table. My lips felt like they were burning up.
We finally reached the table in the far left corner of the cafeteria.
Oh. My. God. They were all beautiful. He introduced me.
"Bella, these are my sisters Rosalie and Alice; and my brothers Emmett and Jasper," he said gesturing to them.
Rosalie was like a supermodel. Tall, blonde and flawless. Alice resembled like a pixie. She was small and petite. Her hair was in spikes around her head. In my head I would always refer to her as a pixie. I think I recognized her from one of my earlier classes.
Emmett was a big muscular male. He could be easily be mistaken for a bodybuilder. But he had a dimpled baby face and curly hair which then made him seem like a teddy bear. And last, Jasper, he was slender built and had long shaggy hair. He didn't look as social as everybody else though.
But what made me really like them is when they all welcomed me like I was one of them. It made my day completely. I took a seat next to Edward.
As lunch went on Emmett, the teddy bear, kept a constant flow of jokes about when Edward and myself would get together. I was steadily blushing.
GAHHH!
I was going to get Emmett back one day.
I mean Edward is amazing. And when I'm with him, I feel... I can't explain it… it's so complicated.
Wait. Bella! Do you hear yourself? You JUST met him 5 hours ago. Calm down.
As I came out of my little thought session, I look up and notice everyone at the table is paired up. Alice and Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett. Me and Edward. I thought he said this was his family. I'm going to have to ask about that later.
As lunch finally came to a close, Edward gathered my half eaten lunch and threw it away. So chivalry isn't dead after all. I smile at my little internal thought.
"What's funny?" Edward asked me raising an eyebrow.
Dang it he was watching. I instantly blush.
"Nothing," I told him looking down at my unlaced shoes.
"You know that blush is gorgeous on you," he said smirking as I looked up at him through my eyelashes.
I bet I looked like a tomato right now. I hate when I blush, it's so embarrassing. But Edward doesn't think so. I smile harder.
"Are you going to tell me what you are thinking about?" he asked his eyes pleading.
"Possibly…. Not," I told him smiling. He looked irritated for a second, but quickly cooled down and smiled as we started to walk to our next class.
We finally arrive at my next class that I just so happen to have with Edward. He goes and takes his seat at the back and I just stare around the class before I notice that the only seat available was beside Edward. Another point for Swan!
We quickly get seated, but I feel someone staring at me. I turn to see that creepy guy from the parking lot looking at me and sitting behind him is that Tanya girl from earlier. This class will be very interesting.
I turn back to Edward. I stare into his eyes as he looks into mine. I didn't know what was going on, but his smile turned into a frown.
"What's wrong?" he asked gently whispering to me. "Is something bothering you?"
"You see that guy over there?" I nudge me head towards the weirdo.
"James Hunter?" He replies in grave tone.
"I guess so. He creeps me out a little," I told him. "This morning in the parking lot, he licked his lips and waved at me. I was so freaked out and disgusted."
Edward's face grew emotionless as I said this.
"Bella, stay away from him, he is no good," he said in a serious voice.
I think there is something that he is not telling me about James. But I leave it at that and nod my head in understanding. His face becomes alive again as his smile that I'm starting to love, came back. I like it, like that. We spent the class period talking about myself a lot. He asked me what my favorites are…
"Favorite book?" he asked.
"Wuthering Heights," I told him smiling.
"Favorite food?"
"Ice-cream sandwiches," I told him looking down at my desk trying not to blush. He was softly laughing at my reply.
"Favorite song?"
"Clair de Lune," I said looking up at him. He gasped on this one.
"Why the gasp?" I ask intrigued.
His response, "I'm not trying to sound like I'm trying to impress you, but that's my favorite song too. I can play it on the piano."
I think my heart skipped a beat. I have something in common with him, but he can play piano.
Edward decides to continue.
"Favorite color?" he asked.
"Green..." I blush instantly.
Edward raises his eyebrow as he looks at me blushing.
"What's so special about green? Why the blush?" he asked interested for some reason.
"Nothing, I just really like the color," I responded nonchalantly, trying to shrug it off. But in my head I can't help, but think about the fact that my favorite color changed today from purple to green.
His eyes. They were the windows to his soul.
I could stare at them without ever getting tired.
Edward looked like he was in thought. Probably contemplating whether he should continue questioning me about my favorite color but then the bell rang. Darn it. I have to leave him. This let me down.
As Edward lead me down the hallway to my next class, which happened to be gym, I couldn't help but notice that everyone was staring at me once again, but it didn't seem like they were staring because I was new, but because I was with him. This was weird. People walk together all the time here… Don't they? That's what I think… though…
I shouldn't let this get to me.
We arrived at the gym door and Edward walked in with me.
"Don't you have to get to class too?" I asked looking up at him which made me look back down at the ground.
"I'm already here," he said with a slight chuckle.
YES! More time with Edward! This is great!
"So we only have sixth and seventh hour together?" I ask
"And eighth..." he said smiling down at me.
"Okay, that's good," I said looking away from the ground to the wall.
Later once everybody has finally arrived, Coach Deblanc told us that today will be a free day where we can just sit around in the bleachers or go to the court and play basketball and stuff like that. Edward and I just sat in the bleachers, in our own little bubble.
I know it's the first day that I've been here and all, but it's just the way he looks at me. I can't help, but blush when I think about him.
He continues the questioning, but they're different this time.
"Why did you move to Forks?" he asked trying to do something with my hair, but failing. I rolled my eyes.
Ugh! This question was inevitable. I still don't want to answer it. I didn't want to tell anyone about the truth, but I think I can trust Edward… I think…
"My insecurities, basically. No one ever cared about me. Even my mom. As soon as she married Phil, her second husband, everything changed. Her whole life revolved around him. I figured why I should have to continue like this when I actually do have someone who cares about me, Charlie. He would always call to check on me and make me feel better. So I finally decided it was time to come live with him in Forks," I told him as I bit my lip.
After I gave Edward my short story he left my hair fall back down my shoulders and turned me around to face him. He looked into my eyes for a short second before looking away quickly.
"Well, I don't see why anybody wouldn't want to care about you. They must not have been fully functional," he said taking my hand into his.
He did it again. Making me blush. It was so sweet. I just wish I didn't blush though.
Time really gets away from us when we start to talk. The reason was that before I knew it the bell had rung. Yet again. We all filed out the gym with the rest of the class.
Edward and I were particularly close, but hey, I wasn't upset. I was literally squealing in the back of my mind.
While walking to our next and last shared class, we happened to pass Tanya. When she saw us together she gave me a death stare. I just smiled and waved at her. Edward saw my wave and asked who I was waving to out of curiosity. I told him it was Tanya and I also mentioned what happened earlier.
Edward chuckled a little and replied, "She probably just gave you the death stare because she has a crush on me… that's what the others say though… I tried explaining to her that I didn't like her, but she didn't listen," he told me taking my free arm and brought it up to his lips and kissed it making me blushing more and Tanya storm off.
My only thought was that Tanya was a complete lunatic and she really needs to get a life. As well, I don't know what to do after what Edward did.
I looked up at Edward who was smirking down at me.
"What was that for?" I asked him raising an eyebrow.
"I wanted her to leave and she did," he said continuing to walk. I followed behind him not saying anything about this.
When we got to our eighth hour. The teacher was already sitting at her desk before the bell rang and she called me over. She said I was going to have to introduce myself in front of everybody at the beginning of class. I didn't have to do this all day. I was starting to think I was getting lucky. Me? Lucky? Not a chance.
As soon as the bell rang I was called up to the front of the class. My palms were already sweaty.
I turn around to face everyone and right on the front row is my buddy Tanya. She makes a disgusted sound and I just wink at her. That pissed her off so bad that she looked away.
Quickly and as fast I can, I said, "Hi my name is Isabella Swan, but call me Bella for short." With that I hurried off to my seat next to Edward. I take this opportunity to ask about his family.
"I thought you said Alice and Jasper; Rosalie and Emmet were your family?" I asked as I waited for a few minutes after the teacher started the lesson.
"They are," He replied looking away from my eyes.
"But everybody was paired up," I told him confused.
"Oh. I can see your confusion. Alice and Emmett are my real brother and sister. Rosalie and Jasper and siblings, twins actually. We are all so close that we feel like a family. We all grew up together."
Everything is clear now.
"Thanks for helping me make sense. At first I was SO confused"
"No problem," He chuckled looking back at me.
The class went by rather fast. Edward kept me company. And I could have sworn Tanya was burning holes in my head with her eyes.
She really needs to get over herself.
We aren't even together.
It was finally time to go. Damn. I have to wait a whole day to see him again.
We exited the building and went to the student parking lot. I need to start remembering where places are. I spotted my truck and walked over to it.
"Are you sure that this thing can even run?" Edward asked as he caught up me quickly.
I nudge him in the side playfully.
"Hey! Don't disrespect the truck. It's special for me," I told him smiling.
"I'm just saying," he said shrugging, but smiling as well.
"I know," I guess it's time to go now. "See ya tomorrow, then," I said stopping and turned around to face him.
"Bye Bella," He gives me an unexpected hug wrapping his long arms around my waist. I instantly wrap my hands around his torso.
It felt like I was made to be there. Like we were two pieces two a puzzle.
With this being done, we let go of each other and he goes to get in one of those shiny Volvo's I saw this morning. I was blushing and stood there as his car backed away from the lot.
A/N: I hope you like this chapter. It was tremendously longer, but I felt like I had to complete the school day. Please Review! And I know the summer is coming up!
