Biology

Chapter 2 (BPOV)


"I'm telling you Bella, something amazing is going to happen today." Alice closed her locker, looking at me with so much excitement. "Maybe Edward will ask you out today."

I blushed. "I doubt it."

"Come on, Bells. You're perfect for him. He's got that whole hot dorky thing going on and you have that sweet, bookworm personality." Alice nodded to her own statement.

"So much in common." I muttered.

"Keep an open mind. See you after this." She walked to her History class and I made my way to Bio. My heart sped up with the realization that in a couple more steps, I will be in the same room as Edward Cullen.

We didn't really talk unless it was for whatever lab was assign but we always finished early and he strike up conversation. Every week, I looked forward to Fridays because that's when we had labs. Today was a Friday and I was excited. I didn't want Alice to know but I believe her when she said that she had a feeling something great was going to happen. But I know that it isn't Edward asking me out. That would be when the world comes to an end. Besides, when I was in the bathroom washing paint off, Kate Sanders and Irina Simon were talking about Tanya Denali and Edward. She is suppose to ask him out today during Bio, the class all three of us shared.

I took my seat in the back corner of the room next to the window. Tanya was already perched on Edward's side of the lab table, not even sparing a glance my way.

I sighed. If she didn't notice me, then there was no way Edward would. They ran in the same social circle while I was in the lowest of low. Sure Emmett and Alice were popular and got along with Tanya and her crew, but I always blended in with the crowd and no one ever noticed me. Last week, Tanya had crashed into me and called me a freshmen when we have had every class together since first grade.

"Hey Bella." Edward took his seat, shaking his head. Water droplets fell on his books and Tanya's lap.

"Edward!" Tanya inched closer to Edward, smiling seductively.

Edward looked startled, like he hadn't noticed her sitting on his side. "Oh, hey."

"So what are you doing this weekend? Hm?" Tanya placed her hands on top of Edward's books to give him the perfect view down her low V-neck shirt. What a slut. I turned to the window watching people run from the cold rain just as Edward looked my way.

"Hanging around." Edward answered shortly.

"With Rosalie!" Tanya practically shouted.

I turned my head just a bit to see Edward stunned in his seat.

"I mean, uh, with who?" Tanya back tracked, smiling nervously.

Edward blinked. "Rosalie?" He said her name as if not being sure if that was the right answer.

Tanya stiffened. "Is she your girlfriend or something?"

I leaned back so I could hear Edward's answer.

"No. We're just best friends." Edward chuckled, waving Tanya off.

She relaxed and so did I.

"Great! So I was thinking maybe we could go to the movies tonight. You know,watch that new scary one." Tanya looked at Edward again, smiling weirdly.

"I have plans." Edward said simply.

Tanya opened her mouth to speak but Edward beat her to it. "Actually, I'm busy all weekend." He glanced at me, smiling shyly. I blushed and looked down at my hands. What did that look mean?

"Oh." Tanya slid off the desk and went to sit in her seat, next to a drooling Mike Newton.

Edward sighed in relief. "Thank god she left." He smiled my favorite crocked smile at me, his bright jade green eyes melted away my thoughts. He completely dazzled me.

"What are you doing this weekend?"

It took me a couple minutes to realize he was talking to me and not to the window behind me. "Um, movies and then I don't know." I manged to stutter out.

He blinked. Oh great, he probably thinks I'm incapable of talking or something.

"Cool. When? Maybe we could meet up." He spoke lowly.

I almost didn't catch the last sentence. "What?"

He looked at me, almost afraid. "I mean, you don't have to say yes. I was just wondering. We talk so much in class but never outside of it. And we have the same taste in movies. So I was thinking that maybe you would like to come with me to the movies. You know, like a date. But you don't have to. You can deny my invitation. It's totally fine. Don't worry about it." He rambled off. I caught bits and pieces of his speech. I was too distracted with his hair that he kept running his hands through, nervously.

"Edward, just shut up." Rosalie twisted around in her seat, shoving his books off the table and on his crotch. I didn't even notice she had taken her seat or even come into the classroom.

"Mother-!" Edward grabbed at his crotch, leaning over in pain.

Rosalie rolled her eyes. "When are you going to the movies?" She asked me, her eyes twinkling. She had great eyes. Unique. Her eyes reminded me of lilacs.

"Tonight."

She smiled widely. How Edward isn't with her is a complete mystery to me and everyone else. They were both, without a doubt, the most attractive kids in school but their relationship ended at the friendship level. "Perfect. How does seven sound? Lincoln Theater." She turned back toward the front.

Edward stuck his tongue out at her back. "Bitch."

"Nice thank you." Rosalie flipped him off.

I giggled. Edward turned to me, smiling that pantie dropping smile at me.

"Mr. Cullen, take a seat. Class is starting." Mr. Banner called the attention of the class and began writing notes on the board.

Flipping open our notebooks, Edward and I exchanged glances at each other all through class. I smiled to myself. The world didn't end and for that I was glad.
