Popcorns, Candy Floss and a Movie
BELLA'S POV
I stumbled across the muddy road. Ugh, if only I had decided to drive today. So much for short distance! I was walking to Jessica's house; we decided to watch a movie for English. I hope Mike's there to keep her company, I'm really late. Darn the weather. Ah well, I might have to get used to it some day. I just hope it's soon, and I don't need to have second thoughts in this situation, living with Charlie. I don't want to trouble Renee either. I've only moved for such a short while and now I'm troubling myself with these silly little things. How foolish of me!
Just as I was about to cross the road, to finally reach Jessica's house, the shiny Volvo passed by. The Volvo's owner, Edward Cullen, looked out his rear view mirror and he had that look in his eyes. That infamous stare that sent chills running down my spine. He drove past without a second glance, speeding off. I think he passed the driving limit, but who cares. That's none of my business.
The only thing is, I don't get him. I don't get what his problem is either. Ever since that day in Biology, he gave me such an abominating look. Then to make matters worse, he edged his seat so he was as far from me as possible. Did I really smell? I wonder. I guess some people don't appreciate my scent. I can't do anything about it though.
Although he's that way to me, his family - the rest of the Cullen's - fascinate me. They are such beautiful people, two girls and three boys. But the youngest, Edward, fascinated me the most. It sucks that he seems to despise me though. During lunch, we've looked at each other once or twice. It was awkward.
I crossed the road, glancing left and right beforehand, and reached Jessica's house. I crossed the lawn and knocked on the door. The second I knocked on the door, it flung open. Jessica smiled brightly as she greeted me. "Hey, Bella! Thanks for finally making it."
I laughed slightly, which came out like a choke, and stepped inside. "Yeah, sorry for the delay Jess. Bad weather."
"Naw, no issue there. Let's go." Jessica led us to the living room, where it was occupied by two sofas –one in velvet and the other in gold- and one large plasma TV against the wall. I sat on the right of the gold sofa, which was positioned to face the TV. Mike came out of the kitchen, popcorn bowl in hand. "Oh, hey Bella!" He greeted with a grin. I smiled in return. He offered me some popcorn. I refused, but he insisted. I took a couple and he sat beside me, only little space between us.
"Hey, Bella, I invited s-," Jessica's sentence was cut off by a knock on the door. "Coming!" she called out.
"I'll be right back." She told me as she headed towards the door. Mike's cell phone rung from the kitchen and he went to answer it. I made myself comfortable as I was left alone –maybe the only time that night- reaching for a pillow out of a stack at the corner. It was plushy and soft, and I hugged it close. Just as I was about to peak at the door, Jessica came in with … him.
