Flashback
"Edward stop it tickles!!"
"Nuh-uh not until you promise to be my bestest friend forever and ever!!"
"okay I promise!! Please stop!!" I was gasping for breath I was giggling so hard.
"Okay but pinky swear" he told me
"Pinky swear"
End Flashback
I was on the flight back home from Ireland where I was a foreign exchange for a year.
I was thinking about Edward, the guy I used to love.
When I left Forks I was 40 lbs. overweight with huge glasses and a pizza face. I had short brown hair that was always greasy.
I was really nervous about coming home, but I had Michael. He was boyfriend from Ireland and he was coming to help me get settled back in at Forks. I know he shouldn't have come but I was really nervous. I had changed so much.
I lost 50 lbs., my skin was clear and flawless and my hair had grown out to my waist and wasn't greasy.
I thought I was pretty but I wasn't conceited, I loathed people like that.
Flashback
It was the end of 8th grade year and I was at a party at the Cullen's house.
No one knew that I was leaving for Ireland the next day to be a foreign exchange student.
I was so excited because I had all these plans to change and reinvent myself. All my bags were packed and my flight left at 4 in the morning so I couldn't stay very long at this party, which I was grateful for. I don't think I could stand to be around Edward for more than 3 seconds with out breaking down.
The other day he told me that he hated me and that he only hung out with me because of Alice and his mom, he didn't want to hurt their feelings.
And he acted like it never happened.
½ hour later
"Bella honey come on it's time to go home, you have a big day tomorrow." My mom said.
She looked so happy but sad at the same time too.
"Coming….bye Alice I'll see sophomore year."
She looked at me like I was crazy. "What do you mean?"
I looked at her and said "You will see"
And I walked out of their house and towards the car with all my belongings.
I couldn't wait to get to Ireland!
