Disclaimer: Do I own Twilight?
Me: Of course... I wish I did.
Steph M owns all, as usual.
"Uhhh! Life is so unfair!" I heard Rosalie whine as she burst into my living room unexpectedly, drenched in sweat. I put down the book I was currently reading; Gone with the Wind; and acknowledged her presence.
"What's wrong, Rose?"
She sighed dramatically, wiping her forehead, and then threw me a look.
Right. I wasn't supposed to have a book anywhere near me on Sundays, especially when she had something to say.
Grudgingly, I got up from the living room carpet, and went to put my book on the shelf.
Rose tapped her foot impatiently, following my movements with her eyes as I plopped back down on the carpet, crossed my legs, and looked patiently at her.
"Now…" I said, "What's wrong?"
She sat that next to me, her eyes flashing. "Oh, Bells, you'll never guess!!"
I didn't know if she was excited, angry, or sad. You could never tell with Rose and her mood swings.
"Well…" she implied after a few seconds of silence. I stared blankly at her. "What?"
"Guess!"
"But you said I'd never guess!" I complained. She rolled her eyes at me, shaking her head.
"Fine! I'll tell you!" she paused to fix her bangs, "I was running, as usual, when I came upon…." she paused again. I felt my temper rising a bit. I was not a patient person. "Uh huh?"
"When I came upon… oh, Bells!"
"Rose! Get to the point!"
My temper was not rising now. It was boiling.
"Oh, he's just so… how do I put it?" Rose started to tap her fingers against the carpet, "So hot! And amazing! And so totally for me! I knew it instantly, Bells!"
"Knew what instantly?" I was annoyed now. So this was all the big deal? What I'd never guess? Rose and a guy was nothing new.
"That we were soul mates! Meant to be!" she squealed, jumping up and skipping a little.
I gaped at her with wide eyes. Ok, now it was really scary. I voiced my thoughts out loud, but all Rose did was roll her eyes and skip a little more.
"He's got the hottest body, the cutest face, the greatest hair…" she rambled, "Oh, did I mention the hottest body?"
I rolled my eyes, "Yeah, Rose. So?"
"Well, so I need to go out with him! I need to be his girlfriend!"
The shock that sentence caused was nothing like I've ever experienced before. Rose wasn't the type of girl to be drooling over some guy, less to want to be someone's girlfriend. This was serious.
"Wow, Rose, I'm in shock here," I said after a pause, "But are you sure you want to be his girlfriend? I mean, do you even know him?"
That threw her for a bit.
"Well, no," she admitted, "I don't know him that well, but those 5 minutes meant everything!"
5 minutes. Wow. I tried hard not to laugh now.
Rose continued, completely oblivious to my laugh-attack, "He's so funny, and charming, and we have so much in common it's scary…"
"I agree with you on the scary part, "I interrupted, giggling.
Rose glared at me.
"Please Bells! This is serious! It's my future husband we're talking about!"
More shock. Wow. Wow.
And to think the world was normal yesterday…
Was there something I missed? Some weird alien abduction?
"Bells! Listen to me!"
"I am."
"Anyway," she said when she saw I was looking at her, "We talked…"
"For 5 minutes," I interrupted.
Another glare.
"And I found out he was new to Forks; he and his family just moved from California. He said he really liked Forks, because it was so different than sunny Cali, and I agreed…"
Review! Review! And read!!! Next chapter'll be better!
