So, this is the next chapter of Exchange - hope ya'll like it!!!
On with the show......
I DON'T OWN TWILIGHT!!!!
B.P.O.V:
Oh my gosh. Today was the day. Edward was arriving. Oh – and Jasper and Emmet. We were at the airport – Alice and Rose dressed up. Alice wore dark skinny jeans, silver heels and a blue top, with a silver necklace and earrings - her hair sticking up all over the place and her make up done to perfection. Rose wore a long, red top that went to her mid-thigh; it hugged her curvy figure perfectly. Leggings adorned her long legs and she wore leopard print high heels, simple make up and her long blonde hair had been gently curled. Me? I wore plain faded jeans, old, comfy trainers and a light blue blouse – no make up, my hair in a ponytail. Alice had tried, and for once, given up; because she claimed she had to, 'work on herself'.
I was bouncing up and down on my heels, and wringing my hands together – Alice and Rose doing the same. We'd arrived in our separate cars, so we could take our exchanges home and let them sleep. I had tried to do up the spare room, and it had worked – to some extent. It still smelt slightly of off milk, but if Edward didn't like it, he could sleep in my room and I would sleep on the sofa.
My eyes scanned the airport. It wasn't particularly busy – but there weren't many big flights going from the small airport in Port Angeles. We were waiting for the little plane that was flying up from Seattle, the one I had taken when I had first moved to Forks to be with my Dad, while my mom went touring around the country with her new husband Phil. Not that I don't like him. He makes my mom happy. I thought I'd give them some space.
I looked at the small screen that hung from the ceiling, telling us when the flights were landing. Five minutes. I gulped audibly; I searched my mind for something that would take my thoughts off of Edward arriving in five minutes. Jacob. Urgh. Normally, that would make me happy, but I'd hardly spoken to him for the past two months – not after, um, the incident. No bruise had erupted on my face the next morning, but it still stung that he would do that, it always would. I glanced back up at the screen – four minutes. Was time going purposely slowly? I tapped my foot, anticipation welling in the pit of my stomach.
One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three missis-
URGH!!!! This isn't working. I wonder what he looks like. Geeky? Nerdy? A dork? Handsome? Small? Tall? Fat? Thin? The possibilities were endless. I imagined him to be a nice person, he sounded like he was from his letters. I hope he wasn't some creepy perv, or maybe he was! Oh my gosh – what if he was? Oh my gosh, Edwards a perv! He's going to sneak into my bedroom at night and rape me! Oh my gosh, breathe Bella breathe. Charlie's there – but what if Edward kills him?! Then I'll be all on my own! My exchange is a mass murdering rapist.
"Bella? Are you alright?" Came Alice's voice.
"Edwards a mass murdering rapist!" I hissed, panic evident in my voice, I glanced at the screen, two minutes – maybe I could make a run for it? Run and pack my bags then grab dad and leg it to, um, Australia!
"Bell, stop freaking out, Edwards not a mass murdering rapist" Rose soothed.
"He isn't?"
"No" Alice smiled, "He's a nice guy that's going to treat you like a woman" Alice winked and I rolled my eyes.
Nerves ended the conversation and we went back to waiting in silence. Waiting.
I wonder what Charlie will think of him? Will he like him? Will he think he's the devil child? Will he think he's a mass murdering rapist like I did? In that case, I'll have to calm Charlie down and send Edward back to England. I glanced at the screen. One minute.
Sixty, fifty nine, fifty eight…
I hope he's a good person.
Forty, thirty nine, thirty eight…
I really do hope he gets along with everyone, Alice and Rose too.
Twenty seven, twenty six, twenty five…
What if he hates Rose and Alice and is some stuck up English rich snob?
Fifteen, fourteen, thirteen…
I wonder if he likes dogs? Not that it matters, I don't have a dog.
Five, four, three…
Oh God, here it comes…
Two, one, zero.
Crap.
"Flight 20563 from Seattle has now landed; flight 20563 from Seattle has now landed"
Right on time.
Weren't flights meant to be late?
"They're here" Alice murmured, while Rose whipped out a sign that said, "Edward Cullen, Jasper Hale and Emmet McCarthy"
Other signs from our classmates that had also signed up for the exchange came out from their bags. Tanya, Lauren and Jessica were standing just a few metres away, holding signs that said, 'James Hunter, Paul Jones and Jared Bates'. Don't' Jessica and Lauren have boyfriends? Eh, I guess it doesn't matter when you're a slut.
Suddenly the doors burst open, and a group of rowdy teenagers the same age as us stumbled through them, looking tired but glad they were finally here. Dragging their luggage they dispersed and started to look through the crowd for their exchange partners. The last three through looked tired, but were still joking around. Pushing each other and laughing at everything. I sneaked a look at Tanya, Lauren and Jessica. Their exchanges were handsome. James, I think was standing next to Tanya, dirty blonde hair and bright blue eyes with a good build. Jared, dark brown hair and eyes, very toned stood next to Lauren, who was battering her eyelashes at him. Paul, gangly, put in a very good way had a shock of jet black hair and dark green eyes, Jessica was hanging off of his arm. They were all very handsome. Tanya looked up and caught my eye – 'jealous' she mouthed. I rolled my eyes and focused on the three boys that were making their way towards us – joking aside, they now looked very nervous. They stopped in front of us, and oh my gosh – they looked like Greek gods.
"Um" Began Rose.
"Erm" Alice pitched in.
"Hi" I managed to breathe.
The three boys smiled nervously back.
"Rose" Rose suddenly choked out.
The biggest one smiled a huge smile, and stepped forward, offering his hand. Rose took it and looked like she was going to melt.
"Emmet" The big one boomed.
He was tall and muscular, very muscular; I wouldn't want to meet him down a dark alley! He had the deepest brown eyes I had ever seen, and had short brown hair, that looked like it would be very curly if he grew it out, his smile was a million watts – he looked perfect for Rose.
"Alice" Alice squeaked, looking between the two that were left.
The one opposite me stepped in front of her and held out his hand.
"Jasper, pleasure to meet you ma'am"
There was a slight southern drawl to his English accent – like he had moved from somewhere like Texas to live in England. He had honey blonde hair - and screw James' blue eyes – Jaspers were brighter – almost illuminating Alice's happy face. He was muscular – but not as muscular as Emmet, but there was defiantly a six pack under the dark green t-shirt that clung to his skin.
"So" I managed to splutter to the last boy – who must've been Edward, "You must be Edward"
"Yes, that's me – you must be Bella" I shook his out stretched hand, an electric pulse passing between the touching skin.
Oh my gosh – he was perfect, the prettiest out of all of them. He was well built, but the slightest out of the three of them. A perfect disarray of bronze coloured locks grew on his head; his features were angular and perfect. His crooked smile looked like it could light up the world – let alone Alice's or mines face! And his eyes. Oh my gosh his eyes! Screw James', Emmets' and Jaspers' eyes – these were the winners today! Emerald coloured eyes smouldered at me from under his floppy bronze locks – perfect orbs of perfection. He was, well, perfect!
I glanced at Tanya – who was fuming from beside James. 'Jealous', I mouthed; she went red and turned around, throwing herself at James. I grinned evilly and turned around to face everyone, as we had now made a miniature circle.
"What are you grinning at?" Rose asked, narrowing her eyes.
I laughed, "Check out Tanya!"
Five other heads swivelled to see Tanya flouncing off with her exchange and loyal followers.
Alice and Rose burst out laughing.
"Are we missing something?" Edwards English accent rung out.
I stopped snickering and turned to face him, blushing five shades of red, his eyes penetrated mine.
"Um, I, um"
I felt someone elbow me in the back, "Tanya's a bitch" I blurted out, the others started to laugh and I blushed an even deeper red. Great.
"Does she always go that red?" Emmet snorted.
"She sure does" Rose sighed, looking up at Emmet dreamily.
"It's funny" Jasper laughed, Alice laughed along with him.
God? Now would be a good time for the earth to swallow me up – I prayed silently.
"I think it's sweet"
I froze as the words left Edwards lips – and, lo and behold, I went even redder. Perfect.
I peeked up at him from under my bangs. He was smiling that perfect crooked grin, I looked down at my shoes.
"Awwwww" Alice cooed.
"Shut up Alice" I hissed, glaring at her.
Suddenly Emmet started laughing again.
"What?" I snapped, getting peeved off at all the laughing that was being done.
"Your accents are funny!"
We all burst out laughing.
"You can talk!" Rose smiled.
"Why yes" Emmet snickered, "I do believe I can" An evil glint entered his eye, and this time, Rose got a tint of red on her cheeks.
"Well" Alice chirped, "I think we should all get going"
"Yeah" Rose pitched in, "If you want an awesome day tomorrow you need to be well rested!"
Emmet snickered again.
"What now dude" Jasper sighed.
"Awesome" He choked out between snickers. Alice, Rose and I burst out laughing, clutching our sides.
"What's so funny?" Edward asked – a frown appearing between his eyebrows.
"The...way…you…say…awesome" I managed to choke out,
"Awwwwwweeeeeeeeesome" Alice and Rose chorused together.
After we had all gotten over our laughing fits we hugged each other goodbye, and – after Emmet had said, 'dudes, maybe we should hug – it's all they ever do in America' – we went our separate ways.
Edward and I walked over to my truck in silence. Edward dragging his suitcase – which I had offered to carry!
"I'm so glad" I suddenly blurted out – what the hell? Where did that come from!
"Excuse me?" Edward asked, confusion colouring his tone.
"Erm – I may have been worried that you were a mass murdering rapist" I explained, going red again.
Edward started to laugh hysterically – his laugh sounded like velvet, just like his musical voice. After a while I joined in too and we laughed all the way over to my truck.
There you are guys!!!
