One more game Bella, just one more game I thought to myself I can do this
One more game Bella, just one more game I thought to myself I can do this. I had already won the first set 6-2 and was up in the second set 5-1 and was serving.
Come on Bella, big serve, big serve. I felt myself unconsciously throwing the ball up in the air and smacking it with as much force as I could muster. I jumped into ready position, the return was a lob. I smirked in my head, are you serious, all of her returns have been lobs, how did she even qualify for Wimbledon? Well, it's just the first round but that doesn't mean that she should suck this bad. I jogged up to the net and felt my racket fly up into the air and smash the ball. Yes, the point is mine. Just three more, come on; wipe the floor with this girl.
I proceeded to win the three points ending both the set and jogged up to the net to shake hand with my opponent Jessica something or another. I walked of the court and grabbed my bag, signed a few tennis balls for the fans and walked off the court. I had just entered the tunnel when I heard a voice.
"Nice game Swan."
I whorled around to see who was talking to me. And then, I saw him.
Edward freaking Cullen. He by far is the most conceited male player that I have ever met. But, he is also the sexiest at 6' 1", with bronze hair and piercing green eyes. And he thinks he's the best thing in the world because he's ranked number 4 in the world. Which in some respects he actually is. But it doesn't matter; he doesn't need to go about flaunting it. My internal monologue was interrupted when I notice Edward staring at me still. Obviously waiting for me to say something.
"What's it to you Cullen?" I retorted back. "And what are you doing here, you don't play next." Smooth Bella, real smooth, he probably thinks your some kind of spaz who can't make a comeback.
"Bella… I see that you still hate me. I don't know why however, because I've apologized profusely for whatever I did…and FYI I was complimenting you" he replied.
"Yeah, well that's a first… and I don't hate you, I simply just don't like you anymore." I started to say.
"Alright then, that's my cue to leave" he said and then walked away.
I just stood there, with my mouth agape. Way to ruin my day Cullen, I am not in the mood to talk to you right now.
"I hope you lose,"I yelled, although he probably couldn't hear me.
And then I heard a faint, "Wouldn't count on it!"
I let out a strangled yell and stomped down the tunnel, into the girl's locker room and found my trainer and best friend waiting for me.
"Bella, oh my gosh, what's wrong, I thought that you'd be happy about winning. I mean you played amazing and I know that the other girl wasn't all that good, but you should be happy Bella." Alice, my trainer and best friend said.
"Three words Alice… Edward freaking Cullen." I said
And Alice just smirked. Seriously, how could she smirk at that? She knows how much I hate him.
"I'm going to take a wild guess here…you still hate him?" She asked.
"I don't hate him I just don't like him, It's just that he annoys me so much some times and other times I wish I could go back to being his best friend again." I yelled. "It's like I'm bipolar when ever I'm with him. I mean I've managed to avoid him for the past three years and now all of sudden, it's like poof and he's right there."
"But, you guys were just so perfect together…"
"Alice, we weren't dating."
"I know, but you two were obviously heading in that direction."
"Yeah well, he's the one that screwed everything up, so…"
"But,"
"Okay, new subject…Can you wrap my right foot? I think it's starting to swell."
Alice just glared at me and remained quiet for a couple of minutes. "Sure. How about you go take a shower, because you stink and then I'll wrap your ankle and then we'll see if we can catch the end of Emmett and Jasper's match. Okay?"
"Sounds great Alice, sorry I yelled at you" I said, while walking to the showers. Emmett and Jasper played boys doubles and were ranked number two in the world. Emmett was also my mixed doubles partner and Jasper was Alice's fiancée.
"It's fine, I'll pick an outfit out for you" she yelled back
After I had gotten out of the steamy shower, I saw Alice's outfit for me, a beautiful white summer dress. I quickly put it on, and went to search for her so she could wrap my ankle. But, I couldn't find her. However, I did see a note for me on the mirror, which said:
Bella-
I went ahead to watch the boys play; Court 16. I have the wrap for your ankle. See you soon.
Love, Alice
Well, that was just peachy. I guess I would just hobble out to the court. After making a fool of myself for fifteen minutes, I finally reached Court 16.
"Alice!" I whisper shouted. She turned around.
"Oh Bella!" She whispered back. "I had no idea that your ankle was that bad. I'm so sorry. I should have waited. I'm such a bad trainer."
"No you're not, you're an amazing trainer and you just wanted to see your hot fiancée. Perfectly understandable."
"Thanks, here sit on the bench and I'll wrap your ankle." She said, as she helped me over to the bench.
"Hey, umm Rose is here." Alice said.
"That's okay," I replied.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah"
"Okay." Alice said, and then tapped my ankle. "You're good. You ready?"
"Yeah."
Alice helped me up and we walked into our private viewing box and sitting in their was Rosalie (surprise, surprise).
"Hey Rosalie," I said in a futile attempt to be nice to her even though even though she hates me.
"Bella," was her reply, accompanied by a nod.
I rolled my eyes at Alice. Rosalie pretty much hates me because I'm Emmett's mixed doubles partner and she's his girlfriend. And for some reason she is convinced that Emmett and I are having some secret love affair. Rosalie is also Edward's mixed double partner and because of that I feel like Edward's replaced me.
About three years ago Edward and I played mixed doubles together and not to brag or anything, but we were amazing! We held the number one spot in the world until we had that little incident at the Australian Open right before the finals.
"Hey guys, do you mind if we join you?"
I whipped my head around and saw Edward holding some girls hand! Wait - it wasn't some random girl's hand it was that girl Jessica I had just beaten.
"Of course not, you know you're always welcome here." Rosalie said, while looking at me.
Are you serious? He is most definitely NOT welcome here.
