Chapter 2: Edward Cullen
The startling creature in front of me recognized who it was, sighed obviously disgusted, helped me up and walked away. Leaving me to pick up my fallen bag and scattered books; not to mention pieces of my heart.
Who you just met was Edward Cullen, the reason for my continuing existence at Orange County Day. I renamed the school in his honor, no one except me knows that.
I call it OCD or Obsessive Cullen Disorder, yes its true I'm completely and irrevocably in love with the hottest, most popular guy in my school, and sad to say he doesn't even acknowledge my presence. He has bronze hair and green eyes, a muscular body, he was a brooding figure and everyone was in love with him and he knew it. He used all the attention he could to his advantage.
I knew he was a jerk but I couldn't help but fall in love with him. I knew that he wasn't really a bad guy so he just made life more interesting.
The disgusted sigh he gave me was probably because he saw that people were staring at him. It wouldn't be okay for the Mr. Popularity to be seen with the queen of geeks right? Ya you heard correctly, I said geeks.
My appearance could only be called geekish, because everyone at this school was so perfect anyway. None of them still wore glasses, they all had contacts and they would never have to wear braces either would they...No of course not their rich parents had them groomed to perfection. Renee didn't believe in contacts because they thought that they were harmful and I didn't really mind wearing them.
My braces are supposed to come off this summer so that should be okay. Then there was the uniform, theirs was always hand pressed and looked like it was made for them but mine was one size too big and I hated ironing, so it always looked rumpled.
I walked to my locker and got my books for my first class, AP US History with Mrs. Woods, she's not that bad for a teacher. We are done with AP Exams so class is boring right now. I walked into class and made my way to my seat, which happened to be in the middle of the class.
On my way, there Mike Newton, this pudgy kid with an attitude problem sticks his foot out to trip me. I was so focused on my textbook that I didn't see his foot and tripped.
He started laughing like crazy and soon the whole class joined in. Mrs. Woods wasn't here yet so there was no one to stop him. Edward was nowhere to be seen so I didn't feel that embarrassed. I just turned around and gave Newton the finger and continued to my seat.
I sat down just as everyone was like "Ooh, Newton you going to take that from the geek?" I got a little worried but I didn't show it because that would only make things worst.
Don't get me wrong I know how to stand up for my self and I can fight. I'm a black belt in karate, the problem is that Newton knew this and would fight with words. That hurt more that a punch ever could.
He came up to me and towered over me, I was sitting, "So, geek you think you can get away with that I don't think so." He said mockingly.
I noticed that he had a black eye so I said, "What happened Newton did you get beat up by a girl?"
Everyone started encouraging Newton to do something about what I had just said and just then the teacher came in, with Edward right behind her. Everyone sat down and started acting like perfect students right away.
As class went on someone threw a note on my desk. I opened it and it said, "It's not over yet." I knew it was from Newton and there was nothing I could do about it now.
I ran out of class just as the bell rang and walked super fast my locker, got my books and went to American Literature. Its one of my favorite classes and the teacher loves me, probably because Edward and I were the only ones who actually answered in class.
Mrs. Bolden said hi to me as I walked inside and took my seat. Newton was nowhere to be seen and Mrs. Bolden was already there, so I know he won't do anything. Edward walked in and said hi to Mrs. Bolden then to me, I was so startled I dropped my bag and all my stuff fell out, again.
He bent down and helped me pick everything up. Worst part is that there was a bottle of Midol, I had grabbed from my locker at the last minute and stuffed into my bag.
It rolled to a stop right by his feet; he picked it up and handed it to me along with the rest of my stuff. I was so embarrassed my face was probably all red! He just gave me a sly smile and walked away.
Everyone else started coming in after that and I just sat there the rest of class repeating what happened over and over in my mind. Right before the bell rang Mrs. Bolden got a call from the office saying that the Principal wanted to see me.
I was really surprised and so was the rest of the class. I've never been called to the office before. The class all 'oohed' to emphasize the fact that I could be in trouble and they all enjoyed gossip so much; I just grabbed all my stuff and bolted.
Mike Newton still hadn't made it to class and that worried me. As I ran down the hall, took a right down two flights of stairs and stood on the last few steps to catch my breath I heard someone yell my name from the staircase above me.
I realized at the last second it was Newton and he had a bucket in his hands. Everything played out in slow motion as I tried to get out his shooting range and he dropped whatever he had in his bucket. It was brown and watery and boy did it stink! I could smell it from a staircase away.
It fell all over me and I felt really sick, to make it worse everyone was getting out of class right then and that was the main staircase that every student used. I suddenly felt very sick and threw up in all that mess. When I looked up I saw Newton taking a picture of me and behind him was Edward Cullen!
I was so crushed when I saw him standing there. His face was expressionless so that made things easier. I realized that Newton was saying something, I finally understood what he was saying, "So the Queen of Geeks finds herself deep in dog doo doo." He was laughing so much when I realized what covered me was dog diarrhea!
I have no clue where he got it from but right at that moment I felt like crying so much. Then Newton turned around and went to give Edward a huge high five and that's when I ran out of there. I left the school and made a promise to myself though all the tears that I wouldn't come back to this school unless I had my revenge.
My revenge on Edward Cullen and Mike Newton would be the only goal for me for this summer. Edward had hurt me more than he knew.
I always thought that the mean guy was only an act and I guess I was wrong. I was angrier with myself for not seeing it earlier and so disappointed in Edward.
I decided right then that I wouldn't return until I had completely changed myself and there was only one way to do it. It would be hard but there was no other choice for me, Mike and Edward had made sure of that...
