Chapter Five
The Monday back at school started normally until Edward walked up to my locker while I was getting my books ready for first period.
"Hey Bella." He said leaning up against the locker next to mine.
"What are you doing Edward? If people see you talking to me it'll bring you down the social ladder." I didn't want him to go through what I did every day. It wasn't fair of me to ask him to do that, it was easier for us just to see each other outside of school.
"Like I said on Saturday I don't care. I want to spend time with you and if that affects my popularity to bad." Just than the bell rang not giving us a chance to talk any further. A few people looked over to see if that was actually Edward Cullen talking to me, I ignored them.
"I'll see you soon maybe a lunch." I just nodded my head numbly I wasn't going to argue with him over this. If he wanted to commit social suicide then that was his choice. As I walked to class I could hear people talking about me and Edward. I've learnt after a while to just ignore them, but some things still hurt. The rest of the day went by in a blur, I only saw Edward in passing and he would offer me a quick smile.
Lunch had arrived and I went and got my lunch like any other day. While I was walking towards my table I sat at by myself I could feel everyone's eyes on me and the whispering started. Why couldn't these people just get a life and leave me alone? I have never done anything to them to make them dislike me. Not long after I sat down the chair next to me was pulled out and someone sat down. I looked up and noticed that Edward was sitting there with a smile on his face.
"How has your day been so far?" He asked while unwrapping his homemade sandwich his mum made for him. I wish that for once I had a parent that would do something like that for me I was sick of making my own food or having to buy the cafeteria food.
"Normal, except the added whispering from everyone. Are you sure you want to do this Edward? Everyone is so judgemental at this school if you're seen with me they'll just try and make your life hell and I don't want that for you." I looked down at my food not finding it appealing at all. I hated the people at this school, why couldn't they just grow up?
"I'm a big boy Bella I can take care of myself. I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to be anyway."
"People are going to think something is going on between us, especially your sister who is coming over right now." I said nodding my head towards Alice who was walking over here with a puzzled look on her face.
"Edward what are you doing over here?" Alice didn't mean what she said in a mean way she was just curious as to why her brother was sitting with me when he had barely spoken to me before the weekend.
"Bella was helping me with homework. Mum said if I failed Math again I would be in trouble. You and mum are always going on about how smart Bella is so I thought I would get her to tutor me during lunch from now on." She looked at Edward as though he had grown another head.
"Um ok I suppose that makes sense. Bella if he annoys you just tell me and I'll beat him up." She walked back over to her other friends while I sat there with Edward speechless that he had actually respected my wishes of no one knowing about us being together.
"Thanks Edward I appreciate what you just did." I said looking up at him and in his eyes for the first time during this lunch.
"Like I said Bella I would do anything for you." He gave me his signature smile that I loved. I looked over to Alice's table and noticed Rosalie sitting there glaring at me. If looks could kill I would have died ten times over by now from the way she was looking at me.
"Your ex girlfriend has a problem with us sitting together." He looked up at Rosalie and frowned.
"Ignore her she just wants us to get back together and that's not happening, she needs to move on." I smiled listening to him say that. It meant that I could have a chance if he didn't want to get back with Rosalie.
After school Edward insisted on coming over to my place. . I didn't argue my dad wouldn't be home, he barely ever was and it would be nice to spend some time with Edward away from all the rumours and whispering. Edward drove us to my house after convincing Alice that we were going to study more. When we did get back to my house we sat and did some homework that we had. After a while we both got bored with it. Edward gave me a kiss on the lips.
"I've wanted to do that all day." I smiled at him, I loved when he said things like that it made me feel special. I kissed him back.
"I've wanted to do that all day to." He gave me his classic smirk and kissed me again. Soon our kissing turned into a full make out session. If we didn't stop soon this would end the same way it did Friday night. Just as I was about to say we should go up to my room, my dad walked in door. We quickly jumped apart and straighten our hair and clothes up so it didn't look like anything had been going on.
When Edward noticed it was my dad he seemed to change completely he went from calm to outright nervous.
"Hi dad." I said trying to be polite even though he wouldn't notice. He just grunted at me like normal.
"Dad this is Edward Cullen, Alice's brother, he came over to do some homework." Edward stood and held out his hand for my dad to shake.
"It's nice to meet you sir." My dad finally looked at Edward and shook his hand.
"I'm going out tonight Bella." My dad said as he dropped Edwards hand and went up stairs to get changed. Edward walked over to be and plopped onto the lounge.
"Well I wasn't expecting that. I thought I would get the third degree about how I should take care of you and if I hurt you I would be dead." He said putting his hands threw his hair.
"My dad isn't like that I'm lucky to get a full conversation out of him. It's just the way he is." I turned the TV on for something to do. Not long after my dad walked downstairs and out the door again. Edward turned to me and raised his eyebrows.
"It's just the way he is I'm use to it. Don't worry about it." He pulled me on to his lap and started kissing me the TV completely forgotten.
"So he won't be home for a while?" Edward asked between kisses.
"He doesn't tend to come home when he goes out. He'll probably spend it with Sue Clearwater." He just smirked at me and I knew where tonight was going to lead.
