Sorry for the two day wait; But here it is finally! LalalalaLOVE you guys!
As usual, I got ready for school in a rush. I was finding myself more and more tired with each passing night, but I had been pretty busy recently. I walked out the front door and went straight to my red truck. The drive to school went quicker than usual, and I parked and as soon as I got out, I was greeted by Edward Cullen, who was leaning against my truck. I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms.
"To what do I owe the pleasure of this early morning greeting? I thought that I don't usually see you until lunch?" His eyebrows raised, and he sent me a smirk.
"I was going to ask you what day you wanted to come over for dinner. Esme wants to know ahead of time, so we don't interfere with any plans of yours." I was slightly taken aback, but I didn't show it.
"Tomorrow would be fine. Is that okay with you?" He nodded
"Tomorrow is excellent." He looked excited as he leaned forward, towards me. He took a step closer to me. "In fact," he said, towering over me. "It's absolutely perfect. Can't wait to have you over." He grinned that crooked smile, and winked, and strode away. I stared at his back, my hands clenched into fists. He needed a slight attitude adjustment.
I went to first period and immediately, I was subjected to a pop quiz. I groaned, and worked my way through it. Surprisingly, I knew more answers than I expected to know. As the day went on, I caught up with Jess and Angela, both of whom were crazy busy. Angela was trying to plan yet another dance, this one would be before Thanksgiving break, and Jess was helping her, as usual. When lunchtime finally came, I met up with Alice before I entered the cafeteria.
"Hey Bella!" she greeted me, waving cheerily. "I hear that you're coming over tomorrow? I'm so excited! Esme is going to love you!" I smiled.
"I'm sure. I have a question. Has Edward been talking to Emmett about dealing with girls again?" I raised an eyebrow as I asked. She groaned and hit her head with one of her small palms.
"I'm guessing so. Is he being obnoxious yet again?" I nodded. "I swear, that boy should talk to someone with a bit of a more polite experience with girls, like Carlisle or Jasper. Emmett is getting a bit of a kick out of watching Edward look like an idiot." I rolled my eyes.
"Boys." She shrugged.
"Who can understand them?" I laughed.
"I do not know." I replied. "C'mon, I have to get lunch." She smiled and nodded as we went off to the lunch line. I grabbed a regular Caesar salad. I wasn't in the mood for anything too heavy, and plus, I didn't want to get the pasta with tomato sauce. I might have been too tempted to throw it at Edward's head. We made our way to the table, and we took our regular seats. Hers was next to Jasper, and mine was in between her and Edward. Edward smiled as we sat down. Rosalie offered me a light smile. She wasn't exactly ecstatic with a human knowing her secret, but I think she liked me. Jasper didn't really notice, and Emmett just found me funny. I was constantly falling over things, so I was a source of entertainment. Plus, I was constantly getting annoyed with Edward.
"Salad today?" Edward said, examining my food.
"Yup." I answered, putting a forkful of it in my mouth. He poked the dish with his finger.
"It doesn't look very appetizing." He said, wrinkling his nose. "And it doesn't really smell like anything." I rolled my eyes.
"Sorry, they were all out of type AB negative when I got there. Maybe if I go early tomorrow, I can get some. Would that be better?" Jasper stifled a laugh, as did Alice and Rosalie. Emmett burst out laughing, not caring whether or not Edward got angry. Edward didn't lose his cool though.
"I was just saying that if I had to choose something to bite, it wouldn't be that." He said, pointing at the salad. "I would choose something more…delectable." He said looking me up and down.
"Just remember," I said stiffly. "You don't always get what you choose." He sighed and rested his head in his hand on the table.
"Indeed." He looked directly into my eyes. "Very true." I did a little shiver. I always felt awkward when he did stuff like this. Luckily, Alice changed the conversation, and led it for the rest of the lunch period. After the bell rang for Biology, we went our separate ways, except for Edward and I. We went together to Biology in silence, as usual. As we arrived, I put my books down, but Mr. Banner called over Edward.
"Edward, can you go down to the office and collect a few textbooks? I realized that we're a bit short of them for today's class." Edward nodded.
"Sure thing sir. Let me just put my books down." He put them on the desk, and as he did so, a paper fluttered to the floor without him noticing. He went over to Mr. Banner and then went to the office. I sighed and picked up the paper. Even though he was being obnoxious, I could be nice. It was face down on the floor as I bent to pick it up. As I flipped it over, I saw sheet music, and notes that had started to be drawn in. I was confused. Since when did Edward compose music? I looked at the top for a title of some sort, but only found the words 'For Her'. I slipped it into his book, and decided not to ask him about it. He probably liked some girl, and was writing her a song. Although I'd love to be a jerk and tease him about it, I'd be nice.
He returned somewhat quickly, and took his seat beside me.
"Miss me?" He asked, sliding open his book. His eyes narrowed in confusion as he found the piece of sheet music in there. "How did this get here…?" he asked, his voice trailing off. I blushed. Of course I hadn't put it in the correct place.
"It fell out as you put your books down. I picked it up and put it back in the book. It was no big." I tried to shrug it off. He didn't move.
"Oh." He said. "Thanks." I nodded. It really wasn't a big deal, but apparently I had embarrassed him somehow. Whatever, maybe it would make him less obnoxious for the period.
That period we learned about the importance of DNA and how it's a double helix, and how it stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. It was, needless to say, not one of the most exciting classes that I had gone through in Forks High. The period ended and Edward seemed to almost be in a rush to leave the classroom. He had barely spoken a word to me during the entire Biology period, which for him, was very odd. Still, I wasn't complaining. If this meant that he wouldn't be annoying me and being a jerk, I liked him being embarrassed. Even if he was embarrassed for no reason.
Gym was in a word, painful. We were playing dodge ball. The word alone made me cringe. I somehow managed to get hit first every time a game started, so I sat out most of the class, but I did have to undergo some pretty painful hits. Mike seemed to be the best player, but also he was the strongest hitter. If I had to get hit by somebody in this game, then I would have preferred to have gotten hit by Tyler Crowley than Mike. I got changed, and then I left to go home.
I dropped my stuff off at home and went straight to Jake's. We were going to hang out with Quil and Embry today. I didn't like stealing Jake from his friends constantly, so we usually compromised and spent at least two nights a week with him and his friends. Naturally, he didn't want to hang out with me and the Cullens. Can we say horror movie fight?
I arrived and Jake bounded to my door, swung it open, unbuckled my seatbelt and swept me into his arms.
"Well isn't someone excited to see me?" I teased. And he smiled.
"I missed you like crazy Bells. And I couldn't wait to have you in my arms again."
"Gag me with a ladle." I heard Quil's familiar voice say. Jake rolled his eyes, and turned around with me still in his arms.
"Oh chill Quil. Just because the girls at school avoid you like the plague doesn't mean you have to mock me because I have a girl that likes me." Quil rolled his eyes
"Whatever man. Just don't be getting soft on us. How can you be a tough werewolf when you act like a sweet puppy dog?" I giggled, and Embry chuckled. Jake just shrugged.
"Whatever man, let's just watch something on the TV." We went inside the house, with me not being allowed to touch the floor, as was normal because of Jake being silly. I snuggled up to Jake on the couch, and we watched TV and talked with Quil and Embry. Before long, Billy arrived home, and Charlie followed soon after. Because Jake was being odd, and refusing to let me walk, we ordered pizza and buffalo chicken wings for supper. The food was entirely demolished, by the three teenage boys and the two grown men. I got my fill though, so I was lucky. I had to go home somewhat early, because I hadn't finished my homework. I waved goodbye to Jake, and Charlie and I set off for home, me in my truck and him in his cruiser. I got ready for bed, and did all my homework. By the time I finished, I fell asleep within seconds, and I was in dreamland in minutes.
