1. Pshhhhhht it's not love. Just a crush.
"We're going to visit Bella. Remember her?" Billy laughed.
My heart skipped a beat. Of course I remembered Bella! She is the hottest girl ever! She lives in Phoenix, Arizona. She only visits Forks once a year, because her father, Chief Swan, lives here. Billy looked at me questioningly due to my lack of response, but I was lost in a daydream. It was me and her. We were sitting on my bed… she unbuttoned her shirt…
Billy punched me on the shoulder.
"HELLO?" his voice brought me back to reality. He grabbed the keys and wheeled himself to the truck. I helped him in.
We pulled in the driveway, and Bella's face appeared in her bedroom window.
"Bella, you remember Billy Black, right?" Charlie introduced as Bella came down the front steps.
"Yeah, you're looking good!" she told Billy as she shook his hand.
"Still dancing!" my father answered, like an idiot. Instead of shutting up, he continued. "Glad you're finally here. Charlie here hasn't shut up about it since you told him you were coming." Charlie looked so embarrassed that I had to chuckle.
"Billy, shut up or else I'm going to roll you into the mud." Charlie joked.
"Not before I ram you in the ankle!" Billy challenged. Billy and Charlie ran off into the street like two year olds and made fun of each other, chasing each other around, one on wheels, one on foot.
Thank god they were acting retarded; this may be my only chance to get Bella's attention. She'll have a boyfriend pretty soon.
"Hey hottie! Remember me? I'm Jacob Black." I froze. I just called her hottie.
"Ya, umm thanks?" her tone was flattered, but awkward.
"How have you been?" I gently tucked her hair behind her ear like she was mine.
"Good, how about you?" she was awkward again.
"Good. Don't you remember me? I was your amazingly hot friend when we were little? We used to make mud pies! I used to throw them at you, and then you'd tell Charlie and he would threaten to arrest me. Those were the good days!" I called myself hot! What was going on with me? I told myself I would never fall in love. I'm not falling in love, it's just a crush. It's just a crush. She was talking, but I was lost in that fantasy again. Her pants hit the floor…
Her beautiful voice rang in my ears once again.
"Are they always like this?" It took me a few seconds to realize she was referring to the idiots on the street chasing each other around.
"It gets worse with old age." We both chuckled, It was good to hear her laugh it came out like velvet and hit agents' the trees. Then Charlie and Billy came back.
"So. What do you think?" Charlie hinted as he hit the red pickup next to us.
"What?" She was so clueless.
"You're homecoming present." Charlie confirmed.
She looked like a prisoner who saw the light for the first time.
"This?" she asked, awed.
"Just bought it off Billy, here." He explained.
She took off for the truck. On her way, she hit me with the door. I was too in love to care, and we both climbed in the truck
"I rebuilt the engine and –"but I couldn't finish. She was marveling over that piece of junk? She should see the Rabbit I'm building. "Okay, so you gotta double pump the clutch when you shift, but-" I tried again. Gosh, does she ever let anyone finish anything? My heart skipped another beat. I moved my hand over to double clutch to shift at the same time as hers and OUR HANDS TOUCHED.
