Vampires at East High (Rickxreader edwardxreader)

Edward Cullen

The next day it's overcast and you're feeling like crap. When you arrive at school Ricky is waiting for you by the door his skin now somehow whiter than the day before "good morning y/n" he grins at you "hey Ricky!" You say taken aback "what's up?" Ricky's confidence drained from his pale face "oh is this weird? I'm sorry I'll-" "no" you cut him off "I think it's nice" you say beaming at him. He walks with you to your locker "so yeah that's how I met Big Red" he said laughing "that's quite a story, Ricky, so where is this guy?" He leaned on your locker "Big Red? He meets with his allergist every mourning, actuality- oh you should probably go or Mazarra will kill you" "oh yeah" you say"well I'll see you in math". In homeroom you see Edward still staring at the photo in his textbook his eyes wet with tears, you feel compelled to comfort him you sit at your desk and put your hand on his shoulder, he flinches and you feel the cold through his shirt, he doesn't acknowledge the presence of your hand but he stops crying. When Mr. mazarra comes in you take your hand off Edward's shoulder and listen. After school the you see the sun came out but Ricky still puts on his hoodie and now adds a pair of leather gloves, but you don't find it too weird, 'maybe he just gets cold' but you don't bring at up while you walk home with him and Big Red. You can't help but think about Edward every day and night, why was he crying?
     A couple months later, after school you get a text from your mom "running late, can you walk home today?" You groan but reply "ok" you look up from you phone to see Ricky pulling his hood up over his loose curls and puts his gloves on his hands before walking outside you chase after him and find that it's raining "great!" You say, "just my luck" once he sees the rain Ricky takes off his gloves and hoodie and smile at the clouds for a minute before riding off on his skateboard. 'Looks like I'm walking home alone' you think to yourself.  You walk for about 10 minutes in the pouring rain listening to T Swift and thinking about Ricky, his deep brown eyes and how hot he was were definitely thought about but mostly,why would he take off his jacket in the rain? But before you can figure it out a car pulls up next to you and the driver it none other than Edward Cullen! You haven't interacted with him since the day he was crying in class. He rolls down the window "y/n!" He shouts, "want a ride?" he says softly. heading Ricky" advice you pretend not to hear him "y/n get in the car!" he shouts this time. You're taken aback but still manage to ask "h-how do you know my name?" "Doesn't matter, what matters is it's pouring rain and you're walking without an umbrella you're gonna freeze to death" "it's beautiful out! A little rain won't hurt me" you laugh " fine but all your stuff will get ruined" he said "fine" you sighed, you figured as long as the inside door worked you could jump out if he tries to kidnap you so you get in the Volvo (iykyk). "Why?" He asks, you're taken aback "why what?" You reply "Oh, uh why were you walking in the rain?" "Oh my mom was busy at work and Ricky left before me so..."  "look, y/n I know what Ricky told you about me but it's not me" he say suddenly "what?" You say shocked "he told you I'm no good right?" You don't say anything but he recognizes the guilty look on your face and smiles slyly  "look, y/n, Ricky doesn't know what he's talking about ok? You don't have to say anything but just know it's not true" you fall silent for a while before saying "who are they" when your question is met with a questioning look you continue "the people in the photo" Edward grips the wheel so tightly you can see his already unhealthily white knuckles turn whiter you two sit in silence the rest of the drive. You tell him when to turn onto your street and you go to open the car door when he says "they died" you freeze "the woman, she was my wife and she died" you sit in shock before saying "wife? Aren't you in high school?" Edward looks down "yeah..." he swallows hard "she was really young" he musters before breaking down you sit there and comfort him for a while. After about half an hour you speak "my dad's in prison"  he looks at you his topaz eyes glistening down at you "I know it's not the same but I know how you feel" without hesitating he kisses you on the cheek, "thank you" he says starting deeply into your eyes and in that moment you know he means it "you should get home" he says abruptly ending the moment "yeah.." you say as you exit the Volvo and he drives off. 'What am I gonna tell Ricky' you think to yourself
