Ok, here's the second chapter. Thanks to the people who reviewed. I have made a poll for both of my stories so it will count on both, please can you have a look at it … thank you.
Remembering the 96 people who died in the Hillsborough disaster 15th April 1989 – You will never walk alone.
He locked eyes with me for a second then looked away and started talking to Lauren. I sighed. For a second there I thought he liked me.
I should be so lucky.
Edward POV
A new school. Great. I wasn't the one who chose to go to a new school. No. But I was the one who had to move because of some people. I was perfectly happy. I had friends, I was the captain of the football team.
Here I was at this new place – Forks High School. And to be honest, it wasn't nice. As soon as me and my family walked through the gates, this girl ran up to us.
"Hi!" she waved right in my face. "My name is Lauren"
"Err, hi Lauren" I faked enthusiasm.
"We're new here, do you mind showing us where the front office is?" Alice asked, being polite.
Lauren looked her up and down before looking back to me, smiling. "Sure!"
We started walking before a few others joined Lauren. They must have been her friends. "Hey Lauren … who are they?" I looked at Emmett and Jasper. Emmett raised an eyebrow at me and Jasper just shrugged.
"This is … "she turned around to look at us and raised an eyebrow. I remembered, we didn't tell her our names.
I sighed and pointed to everyone. "Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett and I'm Edward"
"Edward …" She said dreamily. I gave her a puzzled look but she just ignored me.
"Okay then …" Emmett said.
We started walking to class when Lauren shouted someone's name. "Oi, Bella!" Who was Bella?
I followed her gaze to an average looking girl with long, brown wavy hair that went to her mid-back. She turned round. She was beautiful, and not average like Lauren.
"Bella. I'm talking to you" She only just managed to look up before Laurens friends Jessica punched her in the face. She fell to the floor and everyone started laughing. I just looked at her. What could I do? When she started crying, I just wanted to go over and hold her, tell her it would be ok. But I couldn't do that could I? She would probably think I was part of Laurens 'group'.
I looked over to her and I locked eyes with her for just a second. It was so easy to get lost in her brown eyes.
"Come on Edward, let's get to class,"
"Yep, whatever you say" I hope I see Bella again.
Bella POV
I was sure I had blood on my nose, or something, but I was used to it by now. It wasn't as if I hadn't had this before – from Jake and Lauren.
I walked to Biology. The only good thing about Biology was that I sat on my own. The classroom was nearly empty when I got in except for Angela. Angela was nice. She wasn't my best friend, and I couldn't talk to her about much, but at least it was someone who would say hi in the corridors.
"Hi Bella" Angela said.
"Hi" I responded quietly. I wasn't in the mood for talking today.
I got out my Wuthering Heights and started to read. It wasn't long before others started to come into the classroom. Lauren was in this class but luckily she sat at the other side of the room. She was walking in the room right now with that boy I saw this morning. The one with the green eyes. I looked around the room and realised the only spare seat was next to me. Oh just fantastic. I carried on reading I didn't have to look at him again. Just like I thought, the teacher told him to sit next to me.
"Why can't Edward sit next to me?" I heard Lauren whining. Stupid bitch.
"Because the only spare seat is next to Bella"
"Well, why can't you just make Jessica move to sit next to Bella?"
"Lauren, I am not going through this with you now. Edward can you please go and sit next to Bella" He nodded him head and I looked at Lauren smiling. She glared at me but I just ignored her. So Edward is his name?
"Hi" Edward said.
"Hi" I said making sure not to make eye contact.
The lesson started so we couldn't talk anymore. I felt an elbow nudge me and a scrunched up piece of paper slide to me desk.
(Bella is bold – Edward is italic)
Hi … is your name Bella.
Just wanted to check.
Edward x
Yes my name is Bella.
I guess you know from
before when I got punched
in the face.
Bella.
Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
I didn't think Jessica would
do that.
Edward x
Does that make it okay for
all your family to laugh at me???
Bella.
No and I'm sorry about that as well.
My family are annoying. You get used
to it.
Edward x
Yeah, well I get used to it
as well. It comes regularly.
Wherever I go.
Bella.
Bella, does this go on a lot?
And when you said everywhere
you go … does this mean they
follow you around? Or does it
happen at home?
Please tell me.
Edward x
He knows doesn't he? Stupid Bella. You had to get someone involved.
Nothing is happening,
just leave me alone and
go and join Lauren – make
my life hell.
Bella.
He didn't write back after that. I could see him glancing at me from the corner of my eye. But I didn't look back. Don't look back. Keep looking at the teacher. Don't look back. Keep looking at the teacher. I kept chanting in my head.
I was thankful when the bell went. At least I could get away from Edward.
Ok, that was sort of a filler, so you could understand how Edward was feeling. Will he find out about Bella's secret?
There is a little button down there that gets lonely. Why don't you press it and give it some love. REVIEW PLEASE x
