Chapter 5:

BPOV:

I woke up pretty early Monday morning.

I planned on getting to school before Edward got there.

On Sunday, we spent all day talking online and texting each other. Both Saturday and Sunday night, he sent me a text (even though I just got off talking with him online), wishing me goodnight.

I was wearing my usual school uniform and wore with it, black converse and a beaten long tweed jacket.

I tried brushing my hair, but this morning it wouldn't co-operate, so I just tied it back, high.

When I was done, I grabbed my tweed hat and my backpack went downstairs to get some breakfast.

I wasn't feeling hungry, so I grabbed an apple and headed out for my red truck.

Nobody liked my truck, everybody was always telling me to get a new one instead of this one that growls so loud that you can hear it from Southern Europe.

But I don't care, it's my truck. I like it because it's very unique and cheap. Noone has anything like it.

I hopped into my truck and the engine roared to life. The way I like it.

I put the truck into gear and drove towards school.

It was only 15 minutes, or less away, so I could take my time.

When I pulled up to the school, I put on my jacket and grabbed my apple.

Noone was here yet, so I just walked around and found a bench in the shadows.

I began to munch on my apple and pulled out a notebook of poems.

At first, I just doodled, but then I decided to write.

Before I knew it, I had a stanza written out:

Looking into your green eyes is all I want to do.

Inch by inch, only more I want to be with you

I can't control this feeling of attraction

But never before I have I ever got a reaction

This is all new to me,

Don't leave me alone in the dark like others.

That's as far as I got. Pretty lame.

I sighed and continued writing my feelings down on the scrap paper.

Time must've gotten ahead of me, because I heard the scurried sounds of my fellow schoolmates.

Time to begin the show, I thought as I put my hat on, covering half of my face.

Will Edward recognize me? I hope not, but it's now or never.

I finished my apple and threw it in the trash can.

Grabbed my backpack and headed to homeroom.

This was an unlucky cause, because guess who just happened to be in the same homeroom as me?

Edward.

But usually, he didn't come in until second class, so I didn't need to worry about that.

I walked into the classroom and took my place at the desk near the back by the wall.

I took out my copy of Wuthering Heights and started reading.

Finally, the bell rung and students began filing in.

Our teacher, Miss. Maloney came in. "Hi, class!"

She always had a bright mood, I wondered how she was happy 24/7.

The class murmured some hi's back.

Murmurs that she would called zombie-like.

She was just about to take note of who was in class when the classroom door opened.

I got a shock.

Who would come in but a lookalike of the Greek God, Adonis?

It might be the first time Edward ever arrived early to class. I was stunned.

As usual, he looked remarkably amazing in his school uniform.

As he walked down the aisle to take his seat, I bowed my head so my cat would be covering my face.

He sat opposite me, but I tried to tilt my head so he wouldn't recognize me if he were to look in my direction.

He seemed to be looking everywhere, no doubt trying to spot me.

He thought of Bella Swan as his sister's best friend.

He didn't know that Bella Swan was actually the girl he kissed at the ball.

When class was dismissed, I was the first to sprint out of the classroom and down to my next class to English.

What I never I noticed before (which I should have, considering I watched Edward so much), was how close he sat to me in classes.

He either sat opposite, right behind or in front of me.

Always so close it was static.

I don't know why it never crossed my mind before.

He never recognized me in any of the classes though.

But, that was a big part due to the fact that I kept my head down most of the time.

The hat was a great help.

Pretty soon, it was lunch.

Alice and I had Spanish together, which was before lunch, so we walked to the cafeteria together.

"So, my brother has been acting kind of strange all day." Alice spoke.

"Hm. Which one?" I asked, intrigued.

"Edward."

I gasped.

Alice looked at me strangely.

I quickly recovered and cleared my throat. "Huh. How so?"

"Well, ever since the masquerade bash, he's been acting kind of strangely, it's not just today, it's been all weekend."
"Really?"

She nodded. "Yeah, I mean first of all, Emmett says he was making out with a mystery girl and then apparently he tried to find her. And since then, he's spent all of his time on the computer and texting somebody."

Wow. So he really didn't do anything other than speak to me? I feel ... touched.

"I think it's a girl, Bella. And he's really hung up on her. And today, he's just been..gone."

"Gone?"

"Gone. He's been looking around, asking about this girl all day."

She sighed. "I don't know Bella. My brother is strange."

I laughed. "Don't worry, Alice, he'll figure it out."

We headed into the cafeteria, bought our lunch and sat down at our table where Emmett and Rosalie were sitting, making out.

Alice coughed loudly and they pulled apart in a rush.

"Sorry guys!" Rosalie squeaked out, fixing her hair while Emmett kept on licking his lips.

Alice and I laughed and sat down.

I began to eat a slice of pizza when Alice started asking Emmett about Edward.

"I don't know, he just seems.. different. I don't know, ever since we caught him making out with that girl, he's been different. And do you want to know what the worst part is?"

"What?" Alice, Rosalie and I asked in unison.

Emmett leaned over to us and whispered "He doesn't even know who this girl is."

"Seriously? How can he not know who she is? He was lip locking with her!" Alice demanded.

Emmett laughed. "Well, as far as I know, he was talking to her, they kissed and he never found out her name."

Alice and Rosalie sighed. "It's so romantic," Rosalie said. "It's like Cinderella in a way."

I remained silent the entire time, I didn't want them to suspect or anything.

"Hey, there he is right now!" Rosalie pointed.

Edward and Jasper entered the cafeteria. Oh no.

What if he was going to sit down at the same table like he usually did? I couldn't.

"Hey guys, I have to go. My English teacher wanted to talk some stuff through with me for my class."

"Okay, well I'll see you later, Bella." Alice smiled.

Rosalie and Emmett waved me bye and I sped out of the cafeteria.

I decided to sit outside on a bench.
I put my back down and took off my jacket.

Then, I got a text, from Edward.

Hey Beautiful, where have you been?

I haven't 'seen' you all day.

I laughed.

He hadn't recognized me? Good.

So I take it that you haven't recognized me at school yet? Niiiiice.

I've been around you a lot today, but I don't think you noticed me. :( sniff

Beep.

Don't try the pity thing with me, beautiful.

You and I both know very well that you've been hiding from me.

I laughed.

Maybe.

I sighed and sat back.

If only I could tell him.

What are you thinking?

I pondered and then sent a reply back.

Just wondering if I'll ever have the guts to admit to you who I am, which I doubt.

I'm also wondering how the hell Jessica and her sidekicks can be so.. aggrivating.

I closed my eyes and breathed.

Jessica, all day, was trying to convince Edward that she was the one he kissed at the ball.

Edward obviously didn't believe it.

But it still pissed me off.

I know, she's possibly the most annoying person I've ever come across.

Well, apart from Emmett, my brother. Lol.

I'm so glad you're nothing like those girls.

And how do you know that I'm not?

Because you just can't be.

You're more.. deep than them. Which is what I like about you.

You like me?

Don't joke, you know I do.

School bell, I guess I better get to class.

Yeah, I'll see you later. x

I walked into my Biology class, nerves trying to get the best of me again.

This was yet another class that I had with Edward.

Not only a class, but we sat next to each other. At the same table.

I only hoped that the God's were with me.
He was already sitting there, playing with his phone.

I walked to my desk and put my bag on the desk, getting my Biology books out.

I dumped my bag on the floor and sat at my desk.

The chair screeched when I sat down.

Edward seemed to acknowledge my presence.

"Hey, Bella." He said politely.

I nodded my head, acknowledging him back.

We didn't talk for the rest of class.

He seemed to be looking at me, a lot.

Everytime that I would catch him looking at me, he would flush and look back down at the desk.

It continued like that for the duration of the class.

Until the class was ending and I grabbed my books and sped like his shiny silver Volvo, stumbling along the way.

What if he knew? But, he couldn't.

Surely he knew Alice's best friend couldn't be the same girl as he met that night.

But I was.

And I know before that night, Edward always thought of me as a freak.

Gym passed by pretty quickly, I barely paid attention to what was going on.

School ended and I sprinted to my cat, before Edward could catch me.

Not that I believed he was going to do anything, if he could.

But either way, I had to hurry to my job.

I worked as a waitress at the local diner.

It was the only way I was ever going to get to college with my Dad blowing the money on either booze or little treats for my Stepmother, Claudia.

My parents divorced when I was eleven years old and I barely saw my Mother as it was because she was always travelling the country with her new husband, Phil.

I clocked in and put on my apron and took a deep breath as I began my daily job, when I could be doing other things like my homework.

It was just the life of a modern day Cinderella, I guess.

By the time I got home, it was close to midnight.

I snook upstairs and changed into some pyjama's and switched on my computer.

And of course, there he was, Edward, online waiting for me.

nerdygirl1881: Hey you.

multiplepersonalities: Hey! How did work go?

nerdygirl1881: Tiring, as usual.

nerdygirl1881: Did you get all of your homework done?

multiplepersonalities: Yep. When are you going to do yours? You're probably wrecked right now, as am I.

nerdygirl1881: I'll do it before school.

nerdygirl1881: Wait, if you're wrecked, why aren't you in bed?

multiplepersonalities: Because I wanted to wait up for you.

nerdygirl1881: You know you don't have to do that. I don't want you losing out on sleep because of me.

multiplepersonalities: I know that, but I want to. Plus, I get nervous when I don't talk to you before bed. It makes me anxious. Especially the weekdays now, because of work.

nerdygirl1881: Oh, I'm sorry.

multiplepersonalities: Don't be. It's good and bad.

multiplepersonalities: But now, I think we should both get to bed.

nerdygirl1881: Okay, sweet dreams.

multiplepersonalities: Goodnight, Beautiful.

A/N: Eh, this chapter was just a filler. And the first day of high school.

So mny of you wanted him to recognize her, but it doesn't work that way, because if it did, the fanfic would be boring. :P

So what did you think? I think it sucked personally. MY HANDS ARE DEAD! I hope you're happy, lmao. xD

Yay, it's the weekend! Have a good weekend everybody. :)

I'm also thinking of doing a new fanfic. JacobxNessie. Hmm. Thoughts? Should I?

Review. :)
