Espérer [TwilightFanFic] **COMPLETED**

A Thing...

The last bell of the day rings and I hurridly collect my things and exit my classroom, avoiding all the eyes staring up at me. I rush down the busy hallway and make it to my locker. I put in the combination, messing up twice, before pulling it open and throwing my books inside. I was so busy in my own thoughts that I didn't hear the voice behind me that had spoke.

I turn around and see Edward smiling down to me. I give him a small smile before closing my eyes, and reopen them quickly. "I'm sorry. I was lost in my thoughts" I give him another smile, before continuing "What did you say?" He shakes his head, before smiling to me "I asked how you were. You haven't texted me or called. Is something wrong?"

Is there? His question caught me off guard. I think on it for a minute before giving him the best answer I had "No, nothings wrong. Just have alot going on is all" I say, turning back to my locker. Okay, so it wasnt the complete truth, but honestly I'm pretty happy. Nothing is wrong. Between us, yeah something is wrong with me and Edward but he doesnt need to know that.

"Well I was wondering..." He begins and I roll my eyes, thankful he cant see me. I turn to him, and wait for him to speak again, which he does, almost immediatly. "I was wondering if you wanted to go see a film with me tonight. Alice has been talking non-stop about you, and she wanted me to ask" he stops, waiting for my reply.

I bite my bottom lip, then look back to him, smiling again "I'm sorry. But actually I have plans tonight". His smile drops and his cheeks heat "With who?" He asks, then he stops, turning from me. My jaw literally hit the floor. I watch as he turns back to me, and raises his hand to say something but stops. He turns on his heel and walks away without another word.

I roll my eyes before turning back to my locker and grab my homework for the night. I shake my head, dodging all the thoughts before they can come to mind. This is absurd. He doesn't need to know who I'm hanging out with. I'm not dating anyone, so what's it matter? I slam my locker shut, making sure to lock it, before bolting out the doors, and making my way across the parking lot.

******************

I pull up to my dad's house and kill the engine. I'm still fuming over the conversation I had with Edward. I open the door and step inside, slamming the door behind me. Jack is standing at the foot of the stairs, his expression changes when he notices my attitude. He doesnt ask me anything as I walk past him, and make my way up the stairs and into my room.

I slam the door and lean against it, closing my eyes, fighting the tears as they try to escape my eyes. A few fall and it takes everything I have in me not to have a mental break down. I feel the vibration in my pocket and I retrieve my phone, hitting the text icon. It's from Jacob. Have a few things going on with my dad. He insists I help him. But, I don't want to cancel with you. I'll be a little late getting you. Wanna meet me in the woods close to my house around 7?

I roll my eyes, debating on just calling it off all together but I really do want to see Jake. I hit the reply button and start typing immediately.. Yeah that's fine. Take your time. I need to catch my breath and calm my nerves anyway. I'll see you at 7 :)

I place my phone in my back pocket before placing my books on my desk and leaving without another word.

I sit on the Forrest floor and look up at the sky. The sky has become dark and clouds begin to take over it's surface. I look around and still no sign of Jake. I roll my eyes and pull out the small joint I have stashed in my boot, debating on lightening it up and clouding my thoughts. I pull out my lighter when I hear the familiar sound of Jakes boots, running in my direction.
