Chapter 20

"Hey, I um, I'm really sorry about Perla. And the whole bad taste in blondes thing. I don't want you to think I have a type, which I don't. It's just Delilah was dirty blonde and you are a blonde, your hair is way better. Not that I am comparing you guys or anything! I suck at this. Look what I'm trying to say is you are not a shitty blonde that I would date because I have a type." I was rambling like an idiot in front of the girl I liked. Woah, that was weird to say. I haven't like anyone like this since Delilah and it was really scary. Not being sure if her being so different from Delilah was a good thing or a bad thing scared me.

"Eden, it's okay. You don't have to explain anything to me okay?" Ugh why does she have to be so understanding. A part of me wished she would go back to hating me but that gave me so much anxiety. On top of that I didn't want to upset her on purpose or at all. Sighing I nodded my head and walked to my table. Pulling out my phone to text Perla, but I had forgotten she transferred into different classes. Sighing once more I took my seat. I could feel Rosalies eyes on me but I didn't dare look, I was too scared to fuck up. So I sat there and did my work until she spoke to me.

"Do you need a ride later?" 

She cares. I thought, but maybe she just was just being considerate.  Alice  did say she cared and Emmet said she was waiting for me. All of this made me smile, making Rosalie asked me what happened and why was I smiling. 

"Thanks for asking but I don't want to burden you to give me rides. I'll ask for my car back later so don't worry." I smiled. Which made her small smile falter. My heart picking up speed I tried to save what I ruined. "But if I can't maybe I might take you up on that offer." Seeing her smile at me made me somewhat relieved, but I was still a bit anxious. The rest of class we spent glancing at each other smiling here and there. God why do I feel like everything is going so fast? My feelings, my actions, my thoughts, even the people around me. 

The rest of the day seemed to be a daze. I wasn't feeling to  well by the time school had ended so I texted Perla to meet me in the parking lot. Seeing as she texted me okay I figured I would be able to ride with her. Fingers crossed Kate isn't there. 

Rosalie was already there, everyone was. "Finally you're here. Did you want to come with us Port Angles?" Perla asked throwing my car keys in my face. Internally groaning I smiled but looked towards Rosalie. It's as if she knew what I was thinking. "Actually, I'm driving her home. We have some homework to finish." Nodding along with her, I continued to smile. After we figured out what our plans were and we headed but before I left Alice smirked and waved me a goodbye. Sliding into the front seat that I grew very familiar in I buckled up. 

"Thanks back there, I owe you one." I started smiling at her as she grove out of the school parking, eyes on us, but a very specific set of eyes. After 10 minutes of just sitting in silence we pulled to my house, this time she didn't invite to go to her place. My impulsiveness kicking in. "So that work we need to finish, wanna finish it here?" I offered without even thinking. She looked up a bit shocked, taken back by my sudden offer to spend time with her. "Are you sure about that?" She asked timidly. Seeing how she got shy at my offer I smiled widely and told her to come inside. 

"Okay so were still missing some essential furniture but thats only because Perla and I weren't here when they were dropping it off. In my defense it conflicted with my coffee hour." I joked as I walked into the house with Rosalie trailing behind me. "You and your coffee." She teased. I walked into the kitchen to grab some water for the both of us only to come and find her sitting on the couch. "What are you doing? Come on." I gestured to the stairs. All she did was stare back at me blankly. Like she froze for some reason. "Rose? Are you coming?" I asked trying to get her attention to which she got up and asked "Where?"
