Thanks to SproutOfJane and my boyfriend for supporting my crazy idea of writing. I hope you all enjoy. :)
If someone would have told me a year ago that I'd have a boyfriend who'd I'd fall madly in love with, I'd tell them that they're crazy. Of course, I should know better than to doubt Alice and Rose. They've never been wrong about anything when it comes to my love life. They've always been there for me when a new man came in to my life; they always had an opinion. I may not have liked it, but they always knew if someone was shady or not. Take Jacob and James, for example. Ugh. I prefer not to remember them, but Rose and Alice were right. Those guys just weren't good for me. They were so mean. They never wanted me to hang out with Rose and Alice, but it was perfectly ok for them to hang with their friends. I never understood them. But thankfully, my friends understood. I don't know what I would do without them.
Every time I thought I had the right guy, my friends tried going with it, but I knew deep down inside that they didn't think I had high enough expectations. Well, maybe this time would be different. I just knew it had to be. I needed to figure out how to convince them of it. Hmmm, but how? Well, I suppose it would take time. Did I mention Mike? I guess not. He was another person I choose not to remember. All he wanted was sex. He didn't even care to know me. Not once did he offer to take care of me when I was sick or see how I was feeling on days of certain times of the month. Sure, he was always following me around but that got old after a while. Where ever I went, he wanted to be there. I used to think it was ok for him to do that, but oh how wrong I was.
I thought I would need a little more time to find the right person to prove to my friends that I was still sane enough to make my own judgments; that they didn't have to run a psychological intervention on me. Little did I know, they had a surprise up their sleeve. We were all hanging out on a Monday after school, just trying to wind down from our crazy classes when suddenly, Alice jumped up and said "Bella, I know someone who's just right for you."
Imagine my surprise when Rose was shocked. I thought she'd be in on it, but this was all Alice's doing. I don't know where she found the time to 'guy hunt' for me, but I wasn't sure what to expect. Alice and I had different tastes in guys. She went for the quiet type, while I went for… Well, I don't know, whatever was available. No, I'm not a whore by any means, but I did take what I could get. Maybe it wasn't right, but why should I expect more? I left the higher expectations to girls like my friends. They could get anyone they wanted because they were beautiful and talented. They knew what they wanted, and weren't afraid to go after it. Yes, I know what I want, but I'm not as brave as they are. I didn't know what to think at all, so I didn't say anything.
"Oh come on Bella! You won't regret this."
Of course, she had to use her signature pout. I felt sad for Jasper, her boyfriend of 2 years, right about now. That pout was something not even he could escape. I didn't answer for a few seconds, making her squirm in her seat. "Ok,"
I said, "But this better not be someone that I can't relate to."
"It won't be,"
she said, jumping up and down with excitement. "You'll love him!"
Love? I wasn't sure about that just yet, I hadn't even met the stranger, for crying out loud.
