ALL HUMAN!
I heard my roommate screaming at the top of her lungs on the phone. Doesn't she understand that the person can hear her just fine if she talks normally? I was use to it though. Jessica wasn't exactually the quiet type, and lately she'd been talking to her new boyfriend, Mike, on the phone almost 24/7. And when she wasn't talking to him on the phone, she was talking about him to me, or our other roommate Angela. She just didn't seem to understand that we didn't care, at all. Angela was never like that with her boyfriend Ben, she would only talk to me about him if I had asked her.
I sighed, it was probably time to get to my Anatomy class. Before I left I signed online real quick, just to make sure we didn't have anything due today. I instantly got IMed by my closest guy friend,
"SteamingTacoMan": Bells!! Hey I'm so glad you're on!!! Did we have any Anatomy essays due today?!
"BrownSwan": Gah!! Emmett!! I was about to ask you the same thing!! I don't even remember what we we're doing last Thursday! Something about Connective Tissue?
"SteamingTacoMan": Dang! I don't remember, I was too busy staring at Mr. Hustey's balding spot.
"BrownSwan": haha! It was shinning in the sun! Did you catch that?!
"SteamingTacoMan": When isn't it. So are you going to class then?
I thought this over, of course I had never deliberatly skipped a class, but of late I had really been out of it, and if I showed up without an essay, I'd bomb the class..hmm..
"PixieDancer" has signed on
"BrownSwan": Alice! Save me! Did we have an anatomy essay due today?
"PixieDancer": Nope! It's due next week! :)
"BrownSwan": Thanks! You're a life saver!
"PixieDancer": Tell me something I don't know.
I rolled my eyes and quickly switched back over to Emmett's screen
"SteamingTacoMan": BELLA?!?!!?!?!? ARE YOU THERE?!?!
"SteamingTacoMan": are you going!?!? why arn't you answering me?!!?
"SteamingTacoMan": If you don't answer within the next minute I'm texting you!!
"BrownSwan": Chill! I just asked Alice, it's due next week. So I'll see you in a bit.
"SteamingTacoMan": Save me a seat?
I laughed, who else would I sit by? Angela wasn't in that class, and I sure as heck wasn't going to sit by Tyler or Eric. I shuddered, lately they wouldn't leave me alone, there always seemed to be new flowers in my vase, and new chocolates on my doorstep. How unoriginal can a guy get?
I shut my laptop and shoved it into my bag, deliberately taking the long way to the science wing, I was not up for anatomy right now. I started to think about Emmett, and Alice. They had been my best friends in college since the beginning of sophomore year, sure that was only 4 months ago, but we were still pretty close. Of course now that I was good friends with Emmett every girl would glare at me whenever they saw me. For some reason they thought we were dating, which made Emmett unavailable. I tried to explain to them that we were only friends, but they'd always just shrug there shoulders and reply, "with benefits".
After that I had decided that they could think whatever they wanted about us, but it was nothing more than friendship. I mean sure, I loved Emmett, but only as a brother, he was like the big brother I never had.
I was lost in my train of thought and hadn't noticed that I had taken a wrong turn and wound up in the pre-med room. I looked around and turned bright red, sure enough, Professor Cullen was staring at me with an amused expression on his face. Professor Cullen was also the head doctor of the college so he had seen me enough to last a lifetime.
"Miss Swan? Did something happen, perhaps you slipped and sprained your ankle?" He asked, obviously amused, and to my extreme embarrassment the whole class laughed.
"Um..er... I just got lost?" It sounded more like a question than a statement, but Prof. Cullen just laughed,
"Isn't this your second year here Isabella?" He said, continuing his interrogation,
"Well you know, every now and then I think the janitor switches up the room numbers, so I wanted to catch him in the act." I replied, two could play at this game, haha.
"Oh yes, Larry sure is a tricky one." He said with a shake of his head, and suddenly the whole class started laughing, I couldn't help but giggle, and then quickly made my way out of his classroom.
I practically sprinted to my Anatomy class, and got there just as the teacher was starting his lesson. I slipped into a seat between Emmett and Alice, and tried to catch my breath.
My phone suddenly vibrated, and I took it out, curious as to see who was texting me,
Smooth Swan, Smooth.
It was Emmett, I rolled my eyes and quickly replied,
Ha-Ha, you're soooo funny. What'd I miss?
My phone vibrated again, and I was starting to wonder why we weren't just weren't talking, we were one foot away from each other!
Well, Mr. Hustey bent over, and everyone was blinded by the light! A few kids even ran out screaming ;)
I typed out my reply,
Dang! Maybe i'll throw a penny down there, and hopefully he'll pick it up, so I can get a recap!
I quickly turned my phone off, and looked at Emmett with a look of triumph, hah! I got the last word in.
Alice looked over at us, and gave us a glare that would freeze Mexico. The rest of the class I just sat there trying to concentrate on what he was trying to teach us, something about how we had moved onto the Skeleton, were expected to memorize all the bones, and write an essay about the functions by next Thursday. Greeeeeattttttt. Just then the teacher dismissed us, and I walked back to the dorms with Emmett and Alice.
"So are you coming to my game Bells, Alice?" Emmett asked,
Of course I was, Emmett was basically the best defensive player I had ever seen, and I had never missed one of his games. I don't even know why he had asked me.
"Of course! Have I missed one yet?!" I said a little too enthusiastically,
Emmett showed a huge grin, before turning to Alice and giving her a direct glare,
Unlike me, Alice missed about half of Emmett's games, she usually had other plans with Jasper, her boyfriend of two years.
"Hmm... yeah, I think me and Jasper will make an appearance." Alice said a little shakily,
I laughed, of course Jasper would come. Those two were connected at the hip, always just staring at each other and whispering. To me they seemed like opposites, Alice was a ball of energy, and Jasper was soo... he was... well... he was really, chill. I guess you could call it, but I loved them together. For some reason even though they were opposites, they were perfect for each other. I sighed, recently Emmett, and Alice had been spending a lot of time with their boyfriend, and girlfriend. Not that I had a problem with it, but I just got bored a lot. I had never had a serious relationship, and the closest thing I had to one ended horribly.
I had dated Jacob Black my freshman year of college, at the time he seemed really cool, we could talk about almost anything. But, I realized about 5 months into the relationship that the only reason I was with him was so I could have a connection to him. See, Jacob was the kind of guy who didn't have many girl friends. He just had girlfriends. So I decided I would rather be his girlfriend, than nothing at all. It still really confuses me, but ever since I broke up with him, he has kind of kept his distance. I missed him a lot, but just in a friendly way, I would never date him again, whenever we kissed, which wasn't a lot, I had felt nothing, but tried to pretend it was because he was my first real "boyfriend".
"Earth to Bella! Did you hear what I said?" Alice said, practically yelled at me.
"Oh, sorry I was thinking about something, what is it?" I asked wondering what was so important that she had to scream at me,
"I asked if you wanted to go out to eat with us later." Alice replied, while rolling her eyes.
"Umm... who's us?" I asked, hoping it wasn't just Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, and Jasper. I mean like I said, I have no problem with them, it's just that 5th wheeling isn't really something I enjoy, and if we went out to eat I would DEFIANTLY be 5th wheeling.
"Me, Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie." She said with a smile, I could tell she was hoping I'd say yes, but I just wasn't up for fifth wheeling tonight, I had a ton of homework anyways,
I pretended to cringe,
"Nawh, I have a ton of homework to do tonight, so i'll just catch up with you guys later."
Alice looked like she was about to cry, but it was true, I really did have a lot of homework, so hah! She can't call me a liar. Just then Emmett's phone started to ring,
"Hey, what's up man?" Emmett screamed into his phone, hmm, maybe him and Jessica had more in common then they thought. I laughed to myself, and Alice laughed too, obviously knowing what I was thinking. She had this weird ability to read me like a book, it was kind of weird, but it let us have a lot of inside jokes.
"You can? Sweet, alright well I think we're going to La Countu Rousse, is that cool?"
Who was Emmett talking to? Probably Rose, since that was the restaurant that they were most likely going to.
"Alright, i'll see you at the game, later." Emmett quickly flipped his cell phone shut, and looked at me evilly,
"Too bad you have too much homework to come tonight, that was just Edward, he's hanging out with us after the game." He said sarcastically.
Who the heck was Edward? He obviously wasn't someone I had met. I thought I knew every guy Emmett was friends with. Obviously not, but why would I care if Edward going going or not? Of course he's a guy, but I'm not like Jessica, or Lauren, I don't jump on every bit of testosterone I see.
"Hmm, I guess i'll have to get a rain check then?" I realized we were by my dorm room, and since I was really tired, I decided I would take a nap before the game.
"Alright, see you guys at the game! Good Luck Emmsterman!" I shouted with the most enthusiastic voice I could, I thought it was really good.
Emmett apparently didn't buy it because he was on the floor laughing with Alice in about two seconds. Grrr... I didn't think it was that funny. I slammed the door in their faces and screamed through it,
"Ha-ha! You guys are soooooo funny."
After grabbing a banana and eating it I decided I would take my nap now.
I layed down on my twin sized bed, and grabbed my ipod out of my backpack. Quickly, I put on "White Lines & Red Lights" by Between The Trees. They always put me to sleep with their slow melodies.
I woke up with a start as my alarm went off,
" IM GONNA DO IT HOW I ALWAYS DO, SLEEPING TILL THE BREAK OF NOON, WAKING JUST TO MAKE THROUGH ANOTHER NIGHT OF SHAKIN YOU"
I groaned, no way was it already 6:15, I looked up at my alarm clock and fell out of my bed
6:29
Crap! His game started in one minute, and I couldn't be late!!! I ran to my bathroom, and quickly threw on some jeans, and a plain dark blue shirt. I looked at the mirror in horror, my hair was all over the place,
"Noooooo, don't do this to me."
I ran back into my room, and over to Angela's desk, she wouldn't mind if I borrowed a hair tie, but just in case I left a note,
Hey Ang, I need a hair tie, so I'm stealing on of yours. If you saw my hair right now you'd pee your pants, so I NEED it. :)
Thanks, Bella
I whipped my hair up into a messy ponytail and decided that I looked the best I could, so then I ran out of the door. I reached the field just in time to see the first touchdown scored, and of course it was Emmett who had tackled all the guys trying to attack Tristan. I glanced up to where Alice was sitting with Jasper, and she caught my eye and started to wave viciously. I ran up to where she was and when I reached her I was out of breath.
"Sorr...Alarm...Late..Ran" was all I could get out. She just started laughing hysterically at me, and pointing at my shirt. What? What was wrong with my shirt, it was just a plain dark blue one.
"You, Bel, hahahahahahaha" Alice started shouting, and then fell down on the bleachers, Jasper quickly went down besides her, and I thought it was to help her. No such luck. He was laughing harder than I had ever seen him before. I looked around and saw Emmett rolling around on the field.
What the heck was going on?! I looked down and saw a kid I had never seen before, I then realized that Tristan, the usual quarter-back wasn't the one who had scored. That was definitely not Tristan. This kid had piercing green eyes that reminded me of someone, but who? He was staring at me with obvious amusement in his eyes, and I couldn't take it anymore. I ran to the bathroom to check out with I looked like.
When I reached the mirror I almost cried. Over my shirt was my bra! Gah! It wasn't even a plain bra! It had the teletubies all over it! I groaned, how come Alice didn't tell me?! Darn it!! I sat in the bathroom for probably a half hour, trying to fix my situation without actually taking my shirt off. It was harder than it looked, a few times the bra actually ended up on my head, with my elbow behind my neck. Finally, I got it in place, and looked over my appearance, I looked at good as I ever would. I walked slowly up the bleachers, and noticed that the score was 29-10. At least something good was happening.
I reached Alice, and Jasper, and they couldn't keep a straight face while looking at me. I felt my face turn bright red, so I quickly grabbed one of Emmett's jerseys (he always leaves them with us so we can wear them & be his number one fan) and shoved it over my head. Of course I was swimming in it, but thats exactly what I wanted right now. I heard a cough, and looked up to see a very amused Rosalie staring at me. Crap.
"Hey... Bella...." Rosalie managed to choke out.
WHAT?! how had she heard what happened? You have got to be kidding me!
"Rosalie just get it over with." I replied,
"hahahahah Bella, I'm sorry, but Emmett texted me telling me what happened! I can't believe you did that! haahh!!!!" She was almost on the floor now, and all the other audience members starting staring at our little group of friends. I could tell they all wanted to start rolling around, but since they didn't know me they didn't know how I'd react. So they controlled themselves. I was thankful for that, of course if they had started laughing I would have just sat there, and turned bright red. But for all they know I could have pulled out a knife.
For the rest of the game I just sat there and tried to focus on the game, sometimes making small talk with Alice. I didn't want to be here anymore after I had just embarrassed myself to the extreme. I was so glad I had rejected their dinner plans, even if it meant not meeting this Edward guy.
Finally the game got over, and Emmett came running over to us. I knew what was coming, of course Emmett would rip on me, he ripped on me over the smallest things, he wouldn't let this pass him by.
"Bella! You looked like superwoman!!!!!" Emmett started squealing like a pig,
Rosalie looked up at him with disbelief in her eyes, and I laughed out loud, Emmett just embarrassed himself in front of Rosalie. It was my turn to fall to the ground laughing, and Emmett just looked at me and started to laugh even harder. Before I knew it, Jasper, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett, and I were rolling around on the ground, gasping for air. I was so busy laughing I didn't even realize that someone else had joined our party until I heard,
"I think I missed something" The stranger said in an obviously amused voice,
I froze right where I was, and looked up. I felt my breathing stop but he was so..so... beautiful. No that didn't even cut it, he was so much more than that. I looked up into his deep green eyes, and realized he was the quarter back from the field.
"Hey dude! Ha-ha no, Bella was just being unintentionally funny." Emmett explained, and winked at me,
I turned bright red, I could feel it in my face, and I quickly put my hair down so I could cover my face.
Big mistake.
"HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAH BELLA WHAT'D YOU DO BEFORE THIS GAME?!" Emmett screamed at me.
Crap. My hair.
I peaked through it to see all of my friends, plus the mystery guy on the ground, almost crying. I couldn't speak, not only did I have my bra on my shirt, but now this?! No way!
I turned even brighter, and started to stutter,
"H,.s.,a,." I said, not making any sense whatsoever.
Eventually they all got up, and I just looked around awkwardly, crap I had just embarrassed myself in front of the hottest guy I had ever seen. No the most beautiful guy I had ever seen. I had to get out of here. And quick.
"Well... I'll see you guys tomorrow!" I yelled while sprinting away with all my might,
I didn't stop running until I had made it back to my dorm room, then I flopped onto my bed, and started to distract myself. I decided I needed to take a shower, so I slowly crawled into the bathroom.
The hot water was pounding down on my back, and I couldn't help but feel carefree. It's not like I'd ever see that guy again, and he didn't even know me. So it didn't matter at all. With that off my mind I started to belt out the words to Decoy by Paramore,
"YOU'VE NEVER BEEN SO USED,
AS I'M USING YOU,
ABUSING YOU,
MY LITTLE DECOOYYYYY!"
I loved singing in the shower, it was basically my passion. After the water turned ice cold, I decided I should probably go to bed. I changed into my boxers and oversized T-shirt, and then crawled into bed. Usually when I tried to get to sleep I didn't think about anything at all. But tonight was different, I couldn't get him out of my head, and I didn't know why. I had known him for a total of one hour and I was already thinking about him constantly. It was probably just because he reminded me of someone, and I couldn't figure out who it was yet. Whatever the case, the last thing I remember thinking about before I went to bed was his piercing emerald eyes.
