"What is your inspiration for the piece you are writing now?" Edward asked in curiosity, leaning on the table looking at Chloe.
There was something about this girl Edward knew, he just had to find out. Her mind was peaceful, quiet, he had only heard murmurs drifting in and out and occasionally sentences were said inside her mind for the little time he had heard of her.
"Umm.. One day I just started writing music I guess. I just like to interpret things that I see or feel through me writing my music" Chloe replied looking down in shyness biting her lip.
Then there was silence on the table between the two. Chloe then began again munching on her muffin and staring in to the distance
"You like white chocolate?" he asked looking at her muffin.
"What? Oh yes, it is my favourite. Anything with white chocolate" she replied with a smile, that Edward noticed showed her dimples. "My mother said she would get me a white chocolate cake for my sixteenth birthday but at the last minute she had to work…" Chloe sighed.
"Did you have a sweet sixteenth birthday in the end?" Edward asked curiously.
"Does a block of white chocolate and your parents sending your present through Fed Ex count?" she replied looking up at Edward.
Edward then caught a glimpse of something in Chloe's eyes that he just would never forget.
"No, it is not really. I am sorry" he replied.
"it's okay, I mean I'm happy" she said with a slight smirk on her face, she was grateful for what she had.
"You are?" Edward flinched back in surprise and folded his arms and leant back.
"I have my music, school and a new start. One birthday is nothing"
"But your sixteenth birthday is meant to be special and you didn't really have one did you? It is a rite of passage for a young girl" Edward pointed out to Chloe.
Jessica began walking up to the table where Edward and Chloe were sitting. She stood between Edward and Chloe and introduced herself.
"Hi my name is Jessica. I was just wandering if you would like to come over and sit with us"
"Sorry as you can see I am talking to Edward, maybe another time" she replied.
"So you think you aren't good enough for us. You hanging with only like rich people" she sarcastically replied with a slight laugh.
Edward went to stand up for her but Chloe did it for herself.
"No I didn't intend to offend you in any way possible. I am talking to Edward at the moment and it would be rather rude if I just stood up and left. Now if you excuse me… Please"
"Fine" Jessica came to realize and she walked away.
Edward was a little impressed at what Chloe had just done for herself.
"You didn't have to do that" he said to her. "You could have sat with her".
"No, I had to do that Jessica was rather rude and she is kind of shallow. I'd rather spend my time more valuably with better company" she replied.
"You can look after yourself then?" he pointed out.
"Sometimes" she laughed. "Occasionally like everyone else, I do need help"
There was something inside Edward that he knew needed to look out for her.
She then started to eat her sandwich and opened her bottle of lemonade.
"You can go back and sit with your family" Chloe pointed out. "There is no need to feel sorry for the new girl in the school".
"That's okay, I am quite fine here sitting with you" he replied."So far do you like it here?" Edward asked.
"It's okay, I mean it is nicer than New York" Chloe.
"What is your next class?" Edward then asked Chloe.
"Unfortunately gym…" Chloe grimaced.
"Everyone's favourite class isn't it" Edward joked and laughed at the thought.
"Oh yeah loads of fun" Chloe joked. "But hey it is gymnastics today so I can do that. I danced classical ballet and used gymnastics to help me"
Chloe began finishing off her sandwich and took a drink from her lemonade and put it in her back pack. Edward scrunched up his eye brows and tilted his head sideways looking at Chloe. Chloe then stood up and gathered her books and shifted her chair in.
"What are you doing?" Edward asked.
"The lunch bell is about to go" Chloe said.
The lunch bell then rang and Edward was surprised.
"How did you know the bell was about to ring?" he asked.
" Great timing I guess. Well I'd better head to the gym. What do you have now" Chloe asked Edward.
"I have a free actually" he replied sitting right back in his chair with a cheeky smile.
"Huh lucky you. Don't get into too much trouble will you" she laughed.
"Me, never" Edward replied he got up and stood up.
"Well I might see you later then" Chloe got up.
"Yeah Bye Chloe"
Chloe then smiled, waved and then walked away towards the exit of the cafeteria. Edward stood there thinking about Chloe. There was something about Chloe, a feeling was arising in him, not a sexual feeling, it was something else. Edward went to where he feeling were getting up and he stood there quiet.
"Find anything about the new girl?" Emmet asked.
"No not yet. Did you see anything Alice?" he asked.
"No, why Edward?" Alice asked.
"There is something about her I just can't put my mind on it that is all"
They began walking out of the cafeteria.
"Don't worry Edward, if anything comes up as soon as I know I will tell you" Alice told him.
