I DON'T OWN 'EM!
CHAPTER 7
During class I kept daydreaming about Edward. I think I've finally had a mental breakdown!! Nothing can ever happen between us...I KNOW that, but still...and why would he want me anyway?!..He wouldn't!...He's just so amazing! They all seem really nice, nicer than anyone else here is to me! Maybe...just maybe, they'll stay being my friends after they figure out how the other students treat me. Maybe they won't think I'm a freak for skippig a grade, and they'll see through vile Mike Newton's untrue rumors about me being a slut...Maybe. Only one more hour until I can see Edward again!! All this made Spanish go by quickly enough. I was startled by the bell, and quickly gathered my things before having Alice and Jasper follow me. On the way I pointed Jazz in the direction of his class. He gave Alice a chaste kiss and was off. I swear I saw her swoon a bit before composing herself and continuing with me. Ms. Cooke welcomed Alice and told her to sit in front of me, and when Edward came in he sat down next to me. I brushed off the angered looks from Jessica Stanley when he leaned over to whisper something to me.
"Hey Bella." was all that came out of my angels mouth. The words floated aroung my head before settling into my heart. Crazy girl. Getting so worked up!
"Hello Edward. How was calculus?" I quietly responded.
He said it was "fine,a little boring" and he looked at me questioningly when I giggled a bit.
"I am terrible at math. I'm in Trig, and I'm lucky to even pass!" Even though I was passing, with an A, I still felt horribly inadequate in math. Then the most amazing thing happened:
"I can tutor you, if you would like. I wouldn't mind. You've been so kind as to show my sibblings and I around, it's the least I can do. I help Emmet sometimes too."
I couldn't help but stare at him, mouth agape. Was he seriously offering to help me?
I was so shocked I could barely choke out my response. "You don't have to do that."
When he said he wanted to, I felt it would be rude to refuse. I politely said a thanks and told him I would have to check with my parents. I knew they'd say no,but at least it would be their fault.
He suggested I ask them tonight, and I could go to his house tomorrow after school and when we were done, he would take me home. He was very persistent, and I made no promises about the outcome, but told him I'd ask. The whole time I was blushing furiously, and trying to hide it. I can't believe some guy I just met has this effect on me!!
We were discussing Romeo and Juliet in English. My all time favorite, so I was able to stop paying close attention to the teacher and let my thouhgts, and eyes, wander. I would sometimes catch Edwards eyes when he was looking at me. I would shyly smile and quickly avert my eyes. He found it amusing am would lightly chuckle at the exchange. Suddenly the bell decides to ring. Have the classes gotten shorter?! I said goodbye after reminding them where their next classes were and headed off to Trigonometry. Horirble class, but still better than Gym.
