Beep Beep
Beep
I groaned as
I turned over to turn off the alarm next to my bed. The last thing that I wanted
to do right now was to get up and go to school.
I was having
such an amazing dream. I was about to take Megan Fox from behind in the shower.
I groaned as I thought about it while I put my hand over my morning wood making
quick work of getting rid of it.
Knock knock
“Wakey wakey
rise and shine brother. It is six thiry. Time to get up,” called the annoying
pixie also known as my twin sister, Alice.
“Bye
erection. I will see you later,” I groaned as I got up out of bed and went to
take a shower.
Thirty minutes
later I was washed, dressed and ready to start the day, after breakfast that
is. I went into the kitchen and was about
to pour myself a glass of orange juice when my cell phone rang. I looked at the
caller ID and rolled my eyes as I answered it.
“Hello
Tanya,” I groaned.
“Well hello
to you too Eddie,” she purred.
“Cut the
shit Tanya and tell me what you want,” I sighed.
“Loving
boyfriend as always Eddie,” she said sarcastically.
I was about
to tell her to fuck off and that I would see her at school when she continued.
“As a matter of fact the reason why I am
ringing is because my car won’t start up. I need my sexy, wonderful boyfriend
to pick me up for school,” she continued to purr.
I did not
even have time to think before I told her that I would be there for her in
fifteen minutes.
I hung up
the phone before she could say another word and pinched the bridge of my nose.
Fuck that
girl is more trouble than she is worth, I thought.
Sometimes I
do not even like the girl. I am only with her because it is customary for the
quarterback of the football team and the head cheerleader to be the IT couple at school I enjoy my
popularity too much to break up with her. The only times we really go out on
dates is for pizza after a game or when there is a party or dance happening. I
know that she is only with me for the same reason. Sometimes I wonder if there
is another girl out there for me. Recently, I started dreaming about a girl
with thick silky mahogany hair, big brown chocolate eyes, pale luminous skin,
, who is only a little taller
than Alice and a body that just would not quit. Now that is my dream girl, if
only I found a girl like that, I would make sure that she never got away.
“But of
course a girl like that would never exist”, I thought to myself.
I got up
from the table, grabbed my wallet, keys, and cell phone before heading to the
door.
“Ali, I am
leaving so if you want a lift to school then you’d better be at the car in ten
seconds or I am leaving without you,” I yelled from the front door.
She came
running down the stairs, dressed in the latest fashion of course and with the biggest
smile on her face. Her cheerfulness is so contagious.
“What may I
ask, my dear twin sister has you grinning so much this morning?” I chuckled.
She
continued to grin at me as she spoke.
“I do not
know my darling twin brother. I just have a feeling that today our lives are
going to change for the better,” she grinned.
Alice and
her feelings. There is one thing I always made sure of and that is to never bet
against Alice and her feelings because they always come true.
She jumped
into the passenger seat next to me and I did not have the heart to tell her to
get in the back because I was picking up Tanya. Fuck that shit. If Tanya does
not want to sit in the back then she can bus it. I laugh at the thought of
Tanya sitting on a bus with a load of band geeks and nerds.
If there is,
one thing that always gets rid of Alice’s good mood it is Tanya. The two of
them are like fire and ice. They cannot stand each other, despite the fact that
they are both on the cheerleading squad. Alice was humming away to a tune on
the radio when her cell phone rang. She answered it still humming.
“Hello” she
answered.
I pulled up
outside of Tanya’s house and beeped the horn twice to let her I was here and waiting.
She walked out to the car swinging her hips from side to side with her
strawberry hair falling loose down her back wearing the shortest mini skirt and
a tank top at least two sizes too small. She was obviously trying to show off
her new breasts that daddy paid for. She was trying to look sexy but what she
does not know is that I would prefer to have a girl who is natural with no
plastic to grab onto. I wish I could tell her that it puts me off her when she
acts like this. It is for this reason alone that I am still a virgin, even
though I was with Tanya for two years. Trust me, it is not without trying on
her behalf but I would prefer to make love to someone beautiful and natural
when the time comes. For a second my dream brown eyed angel comes into my head
and I have to choke back a groan.
“Eddie, can
you please tell your sister to get into the back seat so that we can leave,”
she whined.
Alice looked
at her while still talking on her cell phone and gave her the finger to show
that she was not going anywhere.
I sighed while
running my fingers through my hair and pulling at it.
“Tanya, if
you want a ride to school then you will have to get into the back seat. Otherwise
the bus will be along shortly,” I mumbled looking over at the bus stop.
She looked
at me as if I was crazy.
“Eddie, I am
the head cheerleader and queen bee of the school. How will it look if I arrive
at school in the back seat of my boyfriend’s car,” she whined.
I continued
to pull my hair in frustration.
“Tanya the
only thing that I care about right now is getting to school, so like I said it
is either the back seat or the bus. You have five seconds to decide.” I
growled.
She continued
to stand her ground trying to call my bluff. After waiting a minute to see if
she got in the car, I turned the key in the ignition and went to pull out of
the driveway. She huffed and got in the back seat pouting.
Alice
finally got off the phone and put on my Kings of Leon cd only because she knew
that Tanya could not stand them.
“Who was
that on the phone?” I asked.
She looked
over at me with a glint in her eyes.
“That was Rose.
She was letting me know that Emmett’s new neighbors are starting school today
and asked if I saw the girl in any of my
classes, that I help her out because according to Rose she is very shy,” she said.
Tanya did
not say anything up until this point and decided now to open her trap.
“So there’s
a new girl starting today? I should go to her and let her know how everything
works around here,” she said smugly.
I looked at
her with fury flashing in my eyes.
“For fuck’s
sake Tanya. At least let the girl get settled into her new school without you
telling her what to do,” I snapped.
I finally
pulled in to the school parking lot and parked next to Emmett’s car. Emmett
McCarthy is my best friend, I think of him like a brother. Come to think about
it he did tell me a week ago, that he made friends with his new neighbour who
was about our age and he had a twin sister. I cannot wait to meet them, it will
be good to meet new people. Alice, Tanya and I got out of the car. As soon as I
locked the car I started walking towards the school entrance ignoring Tanya
shouting after me. I was walking towards my locker deep in thought when I
bumped into someone. She fell on her backside and covered her face with her
hands in embarrassment. I tried to keep in the laughter when I offered my hand
to help her onto her feet. She took my hand and got up off the floor. I was
about to ask her if she was all right when she looked me in the eyes and
suddenly it was as if time stopped.
Looking back
at me were the beautiful chocolate brown eyes that I have been dreaming about.
She had a heart shaped face and beautiful pale silky looking skin. Her long
mahogany hair went as far as her waist and she was petite with a stunning
figure. She was the girl from my dreams and was even more exquisite in life. I
so badly wanted to kiss her, to bury my face in her beautiful long hair, to
touch her skin.
I needed to
know this girl, no matter what. She was the girl I have been waiting all my
life for. I never believed in love at first sight before but I certainly
believe in it now.
She
continued to look at me as if she was waiting for me to say something.
“Err- Are
y-you al-alright?” I mumbled, not knowing what else to say to this beautiful
creature. She nodded yes and we continued to look into each other’s eyes
completely forgetting everyone and everything around us.
I was forced
back to reality when I heard the most annoying voice in existence.
“Eddie, there
you are. Come on we are going to be late for class,” Tanya squealed. I shook my
head to get out of the daze I was in and groaned at the thought of leaving my
dream girl to be with my girlfriend. She started throwing daggers at my
brown-eyed angel and I was immediately angry that she would be like that. I did
not trust myself to speak so I grabbed Tanya by the arm and dragged her away. I
quickly came to my senses, stopped after taking a few steps, and looked back at
my angel, with my crooked smile. She smiled back at me and I felt like my heart
was about to beat out of my chest.
I walked
towards my Auto shop class with Tanya following closely at my heels. She
finally caught up with me when I arrived at the classroom. Her face looked so
hard that it could cut glass.
“What was
going on with that girl, Eddie?” she sneered.
I looked at
everything around me but her, not wanting to taint the picture; I had in my
head of my beautiful brown-eyed girl.
“She fell. I
was only helping her up,” I answered
innocently.
Tanya looked
like she was going to blow a fuse. I know that if pisses her off that I will
not sleep with her, she still tries to use every trick in the book to get me
into bed. I would not put it past her to start using blackmail.
“Bull shit
Eddie, I saw the way that you were both looking at each other. If I see you
anywhere near her again then I will ruin you,” she said smugly.
She turned
to leave but not before I grabbed hold of her arm and squeezed tightly.
“Don’t
threaten me Tanya. You best remember that I know all about your flings with
some of the football team. If you threaten me again I will make it public
knowledge before I dump your ass,” I spat with a touch of venom.
I turned to
walk into the classroom leaving Tanya standing there with her mouth wide open.
~*~HS~*~
The rest of
the morning went fast enough, I even met the new guy Jasper in Trig the last class
before lunch. He seems like a good guy.
He told me
that he made friends with Emmett and I told him that Emmett was a good guy and
my best friend. I asked him to come sit with us at the lunch table but
explained about how he must check up on his twin sister and make sure that she
was all right before he made any decisions. I really respected that in a
person, the fact that he is looking out for his twin and making sure that no
harm comes to her. I feel the exact same way about Alice.
As we walked
into the cafeteria together he looked towards the lunch line and his face lit
up.
I looked
over where he was looking and suddenly forgot how to breathe. With her back to
me and her hair, flowing down her back was my beautiful brown-eyed girl.
“Edward,
dude. Are you still with us?” Jasper laughed.
I shook my
head trying to get out of my daze. I do not know what kind of spell this girl
has on me but she can bewitch me anytime.
“Err, yeah,
sorry,” I mumbled.
Jasper
continued to laugh at my expression.
“Well, I
have just found my sister so I will see you in a while,” he said.
I barely
noticed him leaving because I was too fixated on the perfection of the angel’s
back. That was until I saw Jasper go over to her and put his arm around her.
It then hit
me, this was Jasper’s sister. I could not be happier than right now knowing that
I made friends with my angel’s brother.
She walked
away, totally ignoring her brother and I had to laugh at the sheepish look on
Jasper’s face.
She finally
gave in and laughed at him before sitting down next to my sister.
“This is
perfect. She is also friends with my twin sister,” I thought happily.
After
picking up a slice of pizza and some fruit, I walked over to where they are all
sitting. I stood behind her as I heard her speak for the first time.
“Jazz, this is Alice Cullen. Alice this is my
twin brother Jasper,” she introduced them.
Oh my god,
even her voice sounds perfect. It sounds like angels singing.
Of course,
my sister’s voice had to interrupt my thoughts.
“I can’t
believe you’re a twin. So am I. As a matter of a fact here he comes now,” she
gushed.
She looked
up at me.
“Bella, I
would like you to meet my twin brother Edward. Edward this is my new best
friend Bella,” she introduced.
The only
thing I could think of as she looked up at me with her big beautiful chocolate
brown eyes is how fitting her name is. Bella means beautiful in Italian and she
is certainly beautiful.
She smiles
at me and I immediately notice that her smile goes straight to her eyes and
makes them sparkle.
“Hi Edward,
it is so nice to meet you,” she said. Her voice sounds like music to my ears.
“Nice to
meet you too, Bella,” I answered
purring her name. Her face went tomato red and she turned away from me in embarrassment.
I could not have that, she should never have to hide her beautiful face.
I sat on the
other side of her, put my finger under her chin and lifted her face so that her
eyes would meet mine.
“There is no
need to be bashful, Bella. I would never want you to hide from me,” I cooed.
We continued
to get lost in each other’s eyes until someone cleared their throat. As I
looked around the table to see who interrupted the most intense moment of my
life, I noticed that everybody at the table was not only looking at Bella and
me but also at the person standing behind us.
The bane of
my existence.
Tanya.
She looked
down at us, her face red with fury. She looked like she was going to explode at
any moment. When she looked at me with a sweet smile, I knew that she was up to
something. She bent down and gave me a big wet kiss. I could not push her away
because, after all, she is my girlfriend. But at the same time, I felt sick at
the thought of Bella witnessing this.
This is
Tanya in Technicolor marking her territory. She pulled back and looked at Bella
with a smug smile on her face.
“Hi, I do
not believe that we have met. I am Tanya, Eddie’s girlfriend. And you are?” she
sneered.
Bella looked
like she was close to tears and I wanted nothing more than to put my arms
around her to show Tanya where my heart lay, but my angel showed herself to be
the bigger person, stood up and put her hands out to Tanya.
“My name is
Bella, it is nice to meet you,” she said weakly.
Tanya looked
down at Bella’s hand as if it was diseased and spoke instead.
“Well Becky,
for future reference, remember that the seat you are sitting in is my seat and
any seat next to my boyfriend is off limits to anyone but me,” she spat her
voice dripping with venom.
Bella looked
like she was barely holding herself together as she ran from the
cafeteria.
Tanya sat
down in Bella’s vacant chair and started eating as if nothing happened. Alice
gave her a look of complete loathing and disgust before running after
Bella Jasper going followed her closely
behind but not before he said a few words to Tanya.
“Hey, I do
not know you and I do not want to know you. But if you ever speak to my sister
like that again I may just forget how to be a gentleman and teach you a lesson
that you will never forget,” he spat.
Tanya looked
at him with her mouth wide open.
“Who do you
think you are to speak to me like that?” she spat. She looked at me and gave me
her pouty look.
“Eddie, are
you going to let him talk to me like that?” she whined.
I really had
to keep my laughter in because she really sounded pathetic when she whined like
that.
“Not only am
I going to let him talk to you like that but I will join in with him if you
ever hurt that girl again. Remember this Tanya. We may be dating each other but
I am not your property. I am my own man and whom I sit and talk to is my
business,” I smirked.
I walked out
of the cafeteria with Jasper. Anger was practically coming off me in waves.
We stopped
to find Alice and Bella coming out of the ladies room. Bella’s eyes looked all
red and fluffy but she was still beautiful to me. She looked over at me with
sadness written all over her face. It was then and there that I knew of three
things.
1. I need to breakup with Tanya and get her out of my life
2. I will do everything in my power to
make sure that Bella is mine.
3. I am unconditionally and irrevocably
in love with Bella Swan
I walked over to her and gently wiped
away a tear that had fallen from her eyes with my thumb before placing the palm
of my hand over her right cheek. The bell for class rang, interrupting our
moment. I looked at my sister and it seemed like she and Jasper were having a
moment of their own.
I did not bother to interrupt them instead I turned to Bella.
“I better get to class, so err, I
will see you later,” I mumbled. I went to walk towards biology but I stopped
and turned around.
“And tell the love birds to get a
move on,” I grinned. She looked at me and gave me a big smile. I love the way
her smile reflects in her eyes and lights up her entire face.
I walked into biology and went toward
my seat. I was the only one in this class who had a table to myself.
Two seconds later Jessica fucking
Stanley came and sat in the chair beside me.
“Hi Eddieeeee,” she purred.
I rolled my eyes at what she thought
was seductive.
“Jessica, my name is Edward, not
Eddie,” I answered.
“Oh Eddie you are so funny,” she
giggled.
I looked over at her and sighed.
“Jessica, unless you have something
else to say to me then would you mind going back to your seat?”
“Well Eddie, I was wondering if you
could give me a ride home after Cheerleading practice. Lauren drove me this
morning and she has a dentist appointment,” she pouted.
She put her hand on my thigh dangerously
close to my Junk; my traitor of a cock just had to stand at attention while she
placed her lips on my ear.
“I will make it worth your while,”
she purred into my ear.
I tried very hard not to throw up in my mouth.
I turned towards her and took her hand
off my thigh.
“Sorry Jessica. I’m not interested
and even if I was, I’m busy,” I snapped.
She huffed and stormed back over to
her own seat as I sighed in relief.
Once she was back in her seat and
staying there I relaxed while we waited for Mr Phelan to start class. The next
thing I heard was the sweetest voice in existence.
“Hi again. Our biology teacher told
me to sit here,” she whispered shyly.
I looked up at her thinking that I
was the luckiest bastard in the world. Not only is the most beautiful girl in
the world in my class but she is also going to be sitting next to me for the
rest of the year.
“Welcome to the wonderful world of
biology, Bella. I am Edward Cullen and I will be your partner in crime for the
year,” I joked.
She giggled at my little joke and I
swear it was almost as if I could hear angels singing.
She looked at me with her big brown
eyes and continued to giggle.
“Hi, I am Isabella Swan and I am
happy to be your partner in crime this year.”
I could not say another word as Mr
Phelan started class. I zoned out and could not even tell you what he was
saying. I was too enchanted with the beauty sitting next to me.
Next thing I knew Bella was nudging me.
I looked at her and she nodded
towards the teacher.
“Mr Cullen, when you are ready can
you please join us back here in the land of the living,” Mr Phelan joked.
Everyone laughed and I looked down at
my lap in embarrassment.
Mr Phelan continued talking and I
zoned out again until he started talking about lab projects and lab partners.
“I decided that this project should
be done by a team of
two, one boy, one girl. Could everyone stand in straight line, boys on one side
and girls on the other?”
I got up and walked over to the table
that Mr Phelan pointed us to. In front of us was a box with little pieces of
paper in them. The girls stood in front
of another table with a similar box on its surface.
Mr Phelan continued to explain that
each box contained numbers. Whatever the number was that we pulled out, we
would be partnered with the person who had the same number. I noticed Jessica
fucking Stanley looking at me longingly. All I could do was pray that I would
not pull the same number as her. When it
was my turn, I put my hand in the box and took out a piece of paper. I walked
over to Bella and gave her my crooked smile. I noticed that Jessica was annoyed
that I ignored her and was glaring at Bella hatefully.
“So what number did you get?” I asked
hopefully.
She looked at the paper in her hand
and then looked at me.
“Number four. What number did you
get?” she asked shyly.
I opened my little piece of paper
praying for the number I want. My prayers are answered when I say the big red
four written on the piece of paper. I looked at her and grinned.
“Number four,” I answered happily.
Her face went as red as a tomato and
she looked so fucking beautiful at this moment.
“So it looks like we are partners,” I
continued to grin.
Before she could say another word the
bell rang. She looked at me and smiled.
“Yeah, I guess we are,” she said and
left the classroom.
“This was my chance, I’m going to be
the best lab partner that she will ever have, I am going to breakup with Tanya
and make Isabella Swan mine,” I thought to myself as I watched her walk away
from me.
