"Ok! Who's ready for lunch?" Emmett said childishly as he came in to the living room. He carried a tray with a big blue teddy bear on it, with an empty bowl on top of it. I rolled my eyes.
"Me. But no healthy stuff, right?" I replied. I was starving, but even in this state I would NOT eat salad. Eesh- green slimy stuff can never be good.
"Well, dang!" Emmett over-reacted. "Come look in the fridge, Bells." I got up warily and followed him to the kitchen. I screamed in horror as he opened the metallic door.
"NOOO!" Salad, salad and more salad… I would have nightmares tonight. I stomped back to living room. "Who did this?" I half screamed. Edward and Alice stood up guiltily. "HA! GUILTY AS CHARGED!" I yelled at them, being completely over-the-top. But hey, this was my possible 'death from starvation', you know?
"Hey, love," Edward started. "We only did it because we care about you." His crooked smile tried to win me over, but I resisted.
"Yeah, Bella! Honest!" Alice chimed in. "We just wanted to… erm… help you out a bit, hmm? Get your heart in… good condition." I scarcely had time to worry about what they were getting me (and my heart) ready for before Esme walked through the door. She took one look at the open fridge, my scowl, and Edward's grin and started to laugh.
"Well, what's going on here?" She giggled. "Oh, Bellie-wellie. Did they take your food?" I frowned at her. Even Esme wasn't standing up for me. I had no hope now of getting any decent food from this house.
"Yes, they did. Your children are evil, as far as mythical creatures go. Humph. I'm going out to get some REAL food. Anyone coming with me?" I looked hopefully towards Edward. Even though he had tricked me, I still wanted his company. I was disappointed. Every single one of the Cullens was shaking their head. "Oh. Looks like I'm going alone." I checked my watch- 1:30pm. "Don't wait for me." I guessed, since they were trying to make me go away, they were probably going somewhere without me. The down sides of being a human in this world… I turned my back on them and walked out, slamming the door to whispers of "Tut, tut... Grumpy girl..." I ignored them all and began walking to the store.
