SHE CAN JOIN THE PARTY TOO
Chapter 1--Weird Things
Ugh. Mondays. The worst day of the week. At least the school year was almost over. Whew. At least the school year was almost over. It had been a crazy one, and I couldn't wait to move on to college. A car horn honked. Ben. I'd been running late this morning.
"Sorry," I said as I climbed in the passenger seat, "I overslept."
"Not a problem," he said, putting the car into drive. We speed off toward the school. Only a few more weeks, I told myself, I can do this. My thoughts started to wander about graduation, and how little time there was until there, and how much work I had to do until then. That wouldn't be fun. I was so lost in my thoughts about graduating and what the future might hold that I hadn't noticed that we had stopped.
"Ang, we're here," Ben said.
"Oh, yeah, sorry," I said realizing that I was still in the car.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"I'm fine, just looking forward to the end of school," I said, and shot him a small smile.
"Aren't we all?" he laughed.
I nodded, and started walking toward my first class, when I caught sight of Jessica. She waved to me, and I waited for her so we could walk to class together.
"What's up Angela?" she asked.
"Not much, I'm tired," I said, suppressing a yawn.
"Yeah, Mondays, ugh," she said, then after looking behind us added, "Oh great, look who it is." I turned to see Bella climbing out of Edward's car. Please not this again Jessica, I thought.
"I don't understand what he sees in her. Why'd he even come back? Wouldn't he have wanted to finish his year in L.A? That's gotta be more interesting than boring old Forks. I don't get it, do you?"
"I don't know Jess, but it doesn't really seem like it's our business. Just look at how happy they are together," I said.
Jessica rolled her eyes. She could be so immature sometimes. She was obviously jealous, and this act was just getting old. If people could turn the color of their emotions, she would be green all over. Hmm, I wonder what she would look like green. It was entertaining idea, but I had to get to class.
Class dragged on, and I couldn't help but feel bad for Bella. She hadn't done anything to Jessica, but Jess still acted like Bella was the devil. Why couldn't she just admit the real reason was that she was jealous? We all know that she'd liked Edward since freshman year. Oh well, at least she didn't say stuff like what she said to me to Bella's face. At least, I hoped she didn't. She probably didn't, she barely talked to Bella anyway. Poor Bella. No, not poor Bella. I'd have Jessica hate me in order to date Edward. I think any girl would. Jess would probably even hate herself to be with him. That was an entertaining thought too, although not as entertaining as her turning green. I wonder what Jessica would look like green, and if she turned green, if people would be able to know that it was because of her jealously.
I was lost in my thoughts again, and I didn't realize that the bell for lunch had rung. I quickly packed up my books and headed for the cafeteria, hoping I wouldn't have to explain why I was late. I wouldn't. All eyes were on Jessica. She had turned a bright green...
