Chapter 2: Spoons and More Spoons

James

Today was the second day of your new year at High School. Yesterday Charlie needed him to help clean up around the house. Greaaaaat. Bella was the Morning Owl while you were the Midnight Falcon. Needless to say he woke up late. Bella had to throw a bucket of cold water on him to be exact.

After showering and getting dressed throwing on his black tight v neck and shorts for the warm weather, he went over to the Kitchen and nabbed a bowl of Cheerios. Bella came down looking mildly annoyed and Charlie looked mildly embarrassed. Father Daughter bonding time. Yay. That means your next....

"I just wanted to know if you wanted to go fishing with me next weekend. I'm fresh outta friends so I thought it would be some quality time together." He loved his dad but he tried way to hard. Charlie was already his favorite parent. Unlike their.... dissociative mother... "I won't make promises since it's to early but I'll consider it." He said to Charlie, not wanting to disway the notion. Charlie started to say something but there was a knock on the door. Bella perked up immediately and James knew instantly who it was. He got up and opened the door, finding Jacob standing there with car keys. "Hey Bells. You forgot your keys and don't forget to double pump the shift." He said and James took them and gave him a glare before tossing them to Bella, who caught them without a second thought. James sat back down and Jacob let himself in, awkwardly avoiding looking at James for fear of getting stabbed.

"Under the Bridge in town, I give my life away!~" James sang with Bella taping on the dash as they pulled up at the School. Hopefully this won't be so awkward. He turned the stereo off and pulled his phone back into his pocket as they parked. The two shared a few moments every now and then like this. Just pure fun between bro and sis. Bella hopped out and James quickly turned the truck off and got out. Some asshole ran by and yelled "Nice truck!" And James responded in perfect sequence with Bella and flipped the guy off. James grabbed both their backpacks and gave Bella hers. They both walked in together, towards the guidance office to get their schedules.

He finally arrived at his class. After Bella wandered off with some weird guy that spouted a bunch of stuff about a tour, he finally found his second period class. Bio Chemistry.... with... whatever the hell this guys name is. He manage to arrive just before the bell for being late and the Teacher glared at him. Then he recognized him and clapped his hand loudly to get everyone's attention. "Class this is James Swan. He and his sister have just moved in with their father. The Sheriff. So don't give them any trouble because Charlie will make you regret it. Believe me I know..." the Teacher muttered and pointed his scrawny bone finger towards the back, where a guy sat, his face covered in a book. "Edward Cullen. Meet your new lab assistant. Don't send this one to the ER...." he said with mild annoyance and Edward didn't respond, continually still reading. James went to the back of the class and sat down at the seat beside Edward Cullen. When he looked at him, he was left breathless...

Stunningly perfect eyes... perfect skin... defined muscles and even a few light scars... the dude was a walking paradise.... as if on cue, Edward put his book down with a faint smile on his face and looked over. "So. Are you gonna continue staring or are you gonna try and complete your assignment Swan?" He asked with a cold voice and his eyes were almost glass. James quickly looked away and pulled out his new notebook, scribbling in notes and mental notes for later. He wrote down a few notes about Edward when he wasn't looking. 'My partner is unbelievably hot... he's skins as pale and perfect as snow.... and he's academic and physical!' The Professor wrote a equation on the board, giving it the name "Equation of Equilibrium" and it stumped you, you looked over to Edward who was already finishing the last problem in the entire class. "Since you aren't writing I'll assume you don't know what it means." The Professor said looking all the way in the back at James. He tried to rack his brain but came up completely empty. Then a thought appeared out of nowhere. "The law of Equilibrium is that everything has a value equal to a certain amount of any other item it's like comparing immortality to a never existing." It was like a voice had spoken to him....maybe he's just recalling a old lesson, he repeated it back to the Professor who smiled. "Correct. Equilibrium measures value between any given two things and says that there is a middle and equal point between the two. Even if they are complete opposites." Edward snickered lightly under his breath and you could barely hear it.

1 hour later

The bell was about to ring and Edward Cullen stood up, tapping him on the shoulder and James turned to face his god. "What's your next class or lunch?" He asked and you replied. "I have US history with lunch right after this bell." He seemed unhappy to hear this and his nose scrunched up. You couldn't smell what he thought smelled so bad. Weird.... you wonder if the Cafeteria only served spoons.... this place was named Forks after all
