Edward the Wolf (twilight fanfiction)

Chapter 23

Theory

I came back to school 3 weeks ago. Me and Bella talked every day. The second day we even sat together at lunch. Most of the time we learned more about each other or just fought like an old couple. We constantly teased each other and I laughed more then I could remember I did in my whole life.

I wanted to know everything about her. I asked her random and probably stupid questions but she always answered honestly. Once I asked her what was her favourite gem, she answered emerald and blushed. I didn't see the reason behind it and I wanted to know. I tried to get the answer from her nicely, but in the end I almost pleaded with her.

"It's because of your eyes." She said and looked down blushing. My heart filled with love for her as she said that.

Now it was lunch time and I asked Bella what would she be doing after school. "I am going shopping with Angela and Jessica to Seattle." She grimaced. Ah! Her friends were going to the dance on the weekend. Bella was asked for it by several boys even thoigh it was girls' choice. I was jealous like crazy. I just wanted to throw the boys across the school. I would probably have, but Bella said no to all of them.

One of the boys, Mike, asked her before Biology, right in front of me. He couldn't ask her straight, what I found quite amusing. But when he finally blurted out the question my body went rigid. What if I was only a friend in Bella's eyes and she preferred this stupid boy instead of me? Of course if she could only give me friendship I would gladly take it just to stay in her life. But then Bella turned to me and I saw her noting my rigid body. Then she looked into my eyes and turned back to Newton. When she said no I could breathe again. And that was only the first boy who asked her.

Let's just say that it wasn't my favourite day.

"Did you ask someone to the dance in the end?" I asked not letting her see how upset I was about the idea.

"What? No! I just need to get a few things and help them choose a dress." She said.

"I thought you hate shopping." I said remembering when she told me how much she disliked it.

"I do. But Angela said that she needed my opinion about her dress." Selfless. That was one of the millions of things I loved in her.

The bell rang signaling the end of the lunch break. In class I continued my questioning. I wanted to know more about her life in Arizona and her mom.

"What is your mother like?" I asked.

"She is more outgoing then me and prettier." Yeah, like that was even possible. "She acts younger than her age and she is more courageous than me." I doubt that too. As she talked about her mother, it was like she was the parent. She had to grow up early because her mother was a child inside. That's why she was so caring and also the reason why she didn't like being taken care of.

I thought about my next question. I really wanted to know more about Bella's romantic history. How many boyfriends did she have? What were they like? Did she stay in contact with any of them? But the place wasn't good for this kind of conversation.

"What's your favourite animal?" I asked instead.

"Wolf." She answered simply and I almost smiled. But I noticed that she was observing my reaction... It wasn't an accident that she said this. She was testing a theory. And that she said wolf, it meant, that she was really close to the truth.
