Bella : What ifs are for Us ✔️

Chapter 2: Open Book

It was raining again and I loved it. I wanted to wind down my window and get drenched in the lovely pitter patter of nature. It was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard and would hear.

I would've dallied. I wanted to. But my inner enthusiasm for seeing Edward Cullen park and walk under the pouring rain was stronger.

I quietly parked my jag behind his usual parking spot and watched the fiery boy park his car with the ease of a crane. When he got out, I saw he was wearing a new t-shirt which was more than enough for me to oogle at his killer lean bod and handsome features.

He walked quickly and nimbly through the raining parking lot and went inside without much more talk of anything. I sighed and then returned my gaze to my mirror. My hair was looking fine and I wasn't afraid of rain. What was of concern however was my oversized t-shirt and the fact that I had no umbrella!

Seriously, Izzy what the heck man?

The main matter was dreaming of Edward Cullen all the time all day. It was becoming a nuisance. I even stopped oogling Jacob Black and it was making me concerned about my own health.

I took out my bag and used it as a makeshift umbrella to go on ahead and enter the school classroom. So, what I had a new passionate stalking business? What did it matter to me? I had always been a stalker. Always.

Even Charlie knew but did nothing since I meant no harm and didn't speak of it to anyone else. No personal information spreading from my mouth. I was like a silent rock. I listened but said nothing and did nothing to stop the raging teen boys I fell for getting a date for prom or getting it on with a girl or two.

Who got hurt in the end wasn't a mystery...I got hurt and it never stopped; however, I felt this time the outcome would differ...How? I didn't know. But the voice in my head said so and my gut agreed. I smiled. Voice in my head? If anyone heard me they'd think I was a lunatic.

Okay, so far, I had stalked too many to count. Edward was my latest. Jacob was my long-term. Others...well, let's just say they left before I could do anything else. Sad...but true.

Another deep sigh before I realized someone was behind me and I turned to find the strangely endearing smile of the pale fire boy. I was a bit shocked first but I managed to conceal my surprise with some form of words to speak.

"Uhm...can I help you?"

My voice sounded mousier to me than anything. For goodness's sake! I was the daughter of the Police Chief! What the actual heck was I doing speaking in a small voice?

"I think you can." He came forward close but not enough to make me uncomfortable. His smile was dazzling with serrated bright white teeth which shone in the twilight of the hallway. The school wasn't completely up to function just yet. Small towns...go figure.

He showed me a paper and I took it with slightly wobbly fingers and opened to see his class schedule. If my eyes could pop, they would. He had a whole barrage of AP classes which put Jacob and the other top tiers to shame.

"I don't know where this class is. Can you show me to it?"

I looked at the classroom his finger was pointing to and surprisingly, it was my first period. Biology where I sat with Jacob. Was he the new kid? I looked up at him again to confirm. No. He wasn't. I would've recognized his face. The face of a chiseled Greek statue was hard to miss amongst the general population.

I gave it back to him and a smile lit up my face. My stalking persona was coming through now. Strong, confident, and deserving of the title of Prefect. I gave him my thousand-watt grace and turned on the charm.
