It was the first day back to school. The sun was shining annoyingly bright and the sky was perfectly clear. I walked in to the school and the chattering immediately hit my ears. It seemed like I was the one of the last students getting here. The halls were full. Everyone was leaning against the walls or sitting on the low sills and talking, probably about their summer.
My summer was awful. Well not entirely awful, but it had some downs.
Rosalie went on to cruise with her family, Alice went to visit her mom, my family went on vacations with Edward and I stayed here. Why? Because Edward told me that he doesn't want me to come. So I didn't. I wasnt going to spent my summer with someone who hates me and doesn't want me around. I told my parents that I just wasnt feeling like going anywhere and they respected my decision.
Why he asked me not to go? He needed space. He said he needs to figure out what's going on.
After that night when Emmett blurted out that Edward slept with Jessica we have been fighting constantly. We have been challenging each other, making each other mad and miserable. We played with each other's feelings. We made out. We fought again. Made out a little more. Fought again. The major problem for him was that – I give him mixed signals and play hot and cold with him. Maybe I was doing all of that, but we could've easily talked it through though. But he chose to sleep around.
But what's done is done, right?
Of course I was heartbroken. I cried. A lot. But he's just a guy, right? No. He's not. And that was the biggest problem.
Most of my time I spent with Emmett and Jasper.
Who's Jasper?
Rosalie's twin brother. Last year he was in England as an exchange student and he came back at the end of the school year.
He wasn't very big fan of family vacations so he stayed here.
I walked to my lockers passing the still empty classrooms.
"Hey little one." Emmett approached me the second I stopped to put my things in to my locker.
"Hey. Where is Jasper?"
"He's getting here with Rose so you can only imagine. I couldn't wait to see Rosie again. I missed her so much.
"So...Edwards back." I nodded. He was the last thing I wanted to talk about. I hated him. I wanted him. I saw him. My eyes locked with his emerald ones as he walked down the hall. My heart stopped when I thought he was about to come over here, but he didn't. He stopped by his locker and was immediately surrounded by dog faces Lauren and Jessica. I wanted to crawl their eyes out.
"See you at lunch." I told Emmet and slammed my locker doors shut. I wasn't going to watch this fucking shit.
"Bye." He said and I turned around and fell just right in to Rosalie's arms.
"OH my god Bella. I've missed you so much. God I wanted to hug you so bad." She said hugging me as tight as possible. Thank god she's finally back.
"Rosie honey I've missed you so much." We pulled apart and she smiled at me.
"Babe you look so gorges."
"Thank you. You look great too. SO how was the vacation?"
"Ah don't ask. I think my parents are getting a divorce. They were fighting constantly." She said rolling her eyes.
"Oh I'm so sorry."
"Don't be." "So how was your summer? How was my brother?"
"Oh awful. First weeks I cried my eyes out about Edward and could barely get out of bed. But Jasper is great. He and Emmett really tried to get me out of house."
"Oh I'm happy. Could it be that you will be my sister in law some day?" She asked and linked her hand with mine. Rose bit her lip and grinned like an idiot.
"What?" I asked surprised.
"Well, little birdie told me that Jasper spent alot of time with you."
"What birdie? Emmett?"
"Maybe."
"No Rose. Stop. Jasper and I – we are just friends."
"Stop Bells, you know he's been crushing on you since we were babies. If it wouldn't be for Edward I can bet you two would already be together for years." She whined. We walked in to classroom and I felt pinch in my stomach when I saw Edward there. Great.
"Hey you." Rose said passing him. I tried not to look at him. I wasn't ready.
