Chapter 2
In Spanish Mrs. Mason asked some questions and one of the "lucky ones" were Tanya and me. Miss mason had asked her the translation of a phrase in Spanish which actually meant 'all's fair in love and war' for that Tanya said "the pen is mightier than the sword.
The whole class looked at Tanya who looked as if she had said the right answer and expected reward from the teacher. We could not control the laughter that was building inside us and burst out laughing.
Even Mrs. Mason laughed and then Tanya who looked embarrassed shouted and then Mrs. Mason spoke in a soothing but strict voice "students its okay if a student makes a mistake you should not laugh in such a manner and you miss Denali I want you to write this phrase a hundred times and an essay in Spanish of 2000 words by tomorrow in writing."
I smiled at myself because I realized on fact that I was ahead of "the wores" of our school. Next I had gym the class I dreaded the most.
As I was a klutz I had to have a little effort to stand normal on a flat surface. I slowly headed to the gym and then to my locker. When I reached my locker and to my utter astonishment I saw Jessica who unfortunately was in my class again and was standing with Lauren, one of the other whores.
They looked as if they were gonna kill me. At first I did not know what to do and even considered walking away. Then I told myself that they were standing beside my locker and I could say anything to them.
I proceeded towards them and spoke with disgust. "Ladies may I know what is so interesting in my locker and why do you'll look so angry?'' Lauren spoke. "You bitch better stay away from Edward. He does not deserve a person like you. A person who can be found only near or on books."
"He deserves a person who is stylish and entertains him; he deserves a person like me, Jesse or Tanya." You better stay away from him you boyfriend stealer!'' wait a sec what did she just call me? Ha! She called me a boyfriend stealer.
Does she even know that I had no intensions of becoming Edward's friend and he himself had come and asked me to become friends with him? I was confused and told her
"Miss Lauren Mallory, for your kind information Mr. Edward Cullen had himself had come to me for friendship and no I. I had no intensions to become friends with him and think twice before calling a person a bitch. I snapped and took my gym clothes and left leaving an angry Jessica and Lauren.

I've got everything in life but not love. That's the only thing I lack in my entire life. I may get love from others especially from my parents and my friends but the love I'm looking for is still a mystery to me.
In the morning I got up at 7 as I had school I had a bath and got ready. I wore a white roll up shirt and black jeans and left my bronze colored hair in a mess because I thought it looked better like that. I may have worn something casual and simple but this was enough to dazzle girls in my school. I am a player. Ya because God has blessed me with good looks and this may help me with the girls department. Plus I get to make out with any girl I want and that's a bonus.
I greeted my mom and dad. My mom Mrs. Esme Cullen was a housewife and was the sweetest person alive.
My dad was an individual I looked up to and my ambition in life was to become a doctor like him. I said goodbyes and entered my garage which consisted of 2 cars: my Volvo and the Mercedes my dad owned. I entered the car and drove to my friend's house as I had to pick them up.
I first went to Jasper's house as he is the person who takes the least time to dress up. Then to Emmett's and then to Rose's house. I always keep Alice's house in the end because she takes an hour to dress up. Typical girl I guess. After we all were in my car I was eager to get to school because today was the day I was gonna get my dare of the week.
Yes, my friends give me weekly dares and I am supposed to do it. Mostly it concerns girls. We finally reached school thanks to my speed. I saw a girl standing beside her Chevy truck which must be about 50 yrs and checking her H..How geekish can a person get?
That's when I realized that she was my Biology partner and then I thought how nice she was because when ever I asked her for notes she would happily agree and give it to me. That's when I saw Mike Eric and Tyler approaching me and then I realized that all my friends had left and I was alone. How rude!
Even though they were not in my group I let them be with me because they would excite my life with these types of dares. Mike was unusually excited and the others were also not in a normal mood. They finally reached I smiled at them and finally broke the suspense.
"Dude, time for your weekly dare." Eric smiles and fills me with the details. "All you have to do is take girl to the prom."
I smiled at this was because this was the easiest dare they have given me.
"But we choose the girl for you ." Ha! There goes the plan in the drain. I finally spoke "who's the bloody girl?' They all smiled and pointed to the girl who's my partner. At first I did not know what they had said it almost sounded incomprehensible. I pointed to the girl and asked them "she, are you out of you senses?"
No way am I gonna take her to the prom" at that perfect moment she turned around and we managed a smile. She smiled back which looked decent to me. She turned around and proceeded to the school. Mike said
"Take her or give us 250 bucks" they surely knew how to punch me at the perfect place. Darn it! I agreed and they went away and I had to start my dare! I ran inside as I had to make her my friend. I ran and I saw she was already midway. I had one thing in my hand the book she was checking.
"Hey!" I saw her turn left and right and she saw Tanya and started walking ahead. At that time Tanya came and started talking to me. I told her I'll talk to her after wards and again shouted for her to stop!
Darn it! She did not even stop! I had to run faster and kept my hands on her body. It felt so smooth and fragile compared to my skin which felt like something muscular. She turned around and first looked at my hands then blushed. God! Does she even blush but she does look good. I handed the trig book she had left and said "Here, you left your trig book on top of your car.
She took the book from my hands and when she touched my hands I felt a sensation of warmth and as soon as she withdrew the warmth vanished and I felt sad. She said something like
"Thanks a lot! I would have been screwed if I had not taken it to class" her voice was so innocent and fragile. I smiled the way my mom loved the crooked grin and asked her "can I walk you to class?" she looked astonished as if I had just told her that I was gay. She managed to say"." she started walking so I went and kept my pace along with her. We were silent for some time. I spoke finally breaking the silence that was prevailing.
"Wanna be friends?" again she looked like I had said that I confessed that I was gay. God! I'll have to get used to her behavior. She again said something like cool. My God was she different from all the girls I have experienced.
We finally reached her class so I left saying "I'll save you a seat in lunch:" I jogged away to my next class. English.
English was as usually boring. We were learning hamlet. It's one of Shakespeare's best plays and I've read it a million times. She even gave us an essay on it. God now I'll have to sit up late and write it because I do not wanna ruin my reputation. Next I had Biology.
This was gonna be interesting. I exited English and jogged to the bio lab. On the way I saw Bella walking alone. Does she not fell lonely? I jogged a little faster and wrapped my arms around her shoulder. It felt nice as it felt the first time. She immediately turned back looked at me and blushed. I like a fool asked her "are you not my partner?'' what a dumb question to ask she nodded and I grinned.
I pushed her forward as I thought we were late for class. I started saying something conversantly but as soon as I realized that she did so not comprehend it I stopped.
I said "Earth to Bella. Are you listening?" she looked at me blushed and said "sorry! I was just thinking about something else." again she showcased the famous blush of hers and I looked at her confused and then I grinned at her. She told me to proceed and this time she dutifully listened.
We reached class and some people looked shocked at what they saw and some like Mike just looked away. Class dragged on then we all separated.
Finally it was time for lunch. I beat my friends to the cafeteria and told them that I would be spending my lunch time with Bella.
They were shocked at first then thankfully they didn't ask me for more details. I chose the seat which as a little far away from the normal crowd you call it was isolated from the rest. There she entered the cafeteria.
She looked as a geek. As soon as she entered Mike, Tyler and Eric started making noises and some laughed and some grimaced. At that time I don't know why I felt like the urge to go and stop all the noises and protect her. I felt like as if she was a fragile being and I had the power to protect her.
She looked down and walked back to the place she usually sat with her usual friends. She got up after a while and bought something and proceeded back. She did not join the conversation her friends were having.
She seemed as is she was deep in thought. I was tiered of waiting for her so I turned my attention to the girl who sat with her and gestured her to call Bella. At one point I felt like going and shaking both of her friends because they were just staring at me again as if I had written that I was gay. I gestured to them to call Bella. They first just stared at me and then did as I had gestured them to.
They called her but they had to call her a few times to gain her attention. When she finally did listen to them she looked at my face and I was happy because at least she had looked at my direction.
She looked at them and she seemed confused and I suppose Angela told her that I was calling her because she looked at me and I looked at her and gestured her to come and sit with me. She looked confused but eventually she started walking towards me after talking to her friends and making a face.
I did not know one thing but now I'm sure 'bout one thing that Bella is a klutz. She almost fell flat on her face at that time I was concerned as I thought she would fall down something would happen to her and I would lose my bet with my 'friends'.
She seemed to steady herself and when she looked at me laughed and then I grinned. She finally reached she took her seat across mine and looked at me with a confused face.
I realized that she was asking me why she had called her. "
Why? Can't I save a seat for my friend?"
I was unhappy with myself because I had referred to her as a friend.
Even though I might like her as a person I do not want her to be the one, who would be hurt by the pranks I play because I had a crush on her. I know it may sound damn dumb because me, Edward Cullen was crushing a girl (that's obvious) but a girl who is not at all popular and is a geek.
I like her because she is different from all the girls I had known. She was girl who would not jump on me or try to seduce me. She does not drool over me. She kinda just ignores me.
She acts as if I never even look at her when the reality is that I yearn for her to even look at me.
