Disclaimer: Stephenie Meyer's Characters but my plot (For the whole story).
This is my first story so please be critical and tell me what you think, honestly!
I wanted to go to the party but I couldn't ask my father. I knew his immediate answer would be a resounding NO! Ever since I started Forks High and my contact with boys became existent due to me attending an all girl's school since I knew myself, literally, but my social life took a turn for the worst. I was no longer allowed to attend sleepovers and movie nights. Heck, I didn't even get to have my sweet sixteen, not that I wanted one. My dad insisted that we go to the local diner as a family for celebrating special occasions, and what a family we were. A party of two pitiful souls, one determined to forget the wife that left him and his four year old daughter in hope of escaping his authority. Little did he know that I still kept in contact with my mom, Renee. She at least asked me how I felt about stuff and supported me in my secret obsession, art.
My stumpy fingers subconsciously dialled a very familiar number. She answered on the third ring, "Bermuda Bella, what's up?" The corners of my mouth lifted at the use of our invented greeting. We decided to greet each other this way one afternoon during a boring period of Add Maths. It was boring for me because I already knew what was being taught.
"Al, I 'm sorry but I can't make it tonight." I plopped down on my comfy bed and sighed awaiting her response.
"What! Belllaaaa! You promised." Her whiny tone was truly funny, she sounded like a six year old demanding sprinkles on her ice cream.
"You know my dad, besides I really don't see the point of me attending that party. Wait a minute, I didn't promise you anything!" Alice let out a pitiful sound at being caught.
"Well that's not the point, I can't go by myself I need my co-pilot and..." Alice trailed of making me think that she fainted or something of equal consequence.
"Al? Aliccceee?" I enquired while trying to remember the ambulances' number in case something really did happen.
"Oh sorry Bella, I just drifted off but I have a solution!" The change in her tone was familiar and I didn't like it one bit. The last time she used that tone I ended up grounded for a month.
"No no no Al, don't even think about..." but she cut me of mid sentence. "Oh please bestest friend in the galaxy, including short green people to. I'll do your Chemistry homework for a week!" Her offer was sorely tempting and her flattery went unmissed. I almost gave in to sneaking out but I was not risking getting grounded in order to go to some party where I hardly knew anyone. I got up of my bed and started to pace back and forth in front of my big enough window. A passerby would probably think I was crazy due to the speed of my pacing.
"Please Bella, Jasper will be there and Edward too." I disregarded the Edward part, I disliked him greatly ever since our first encounter.
On my second week of Forks high I was enjoying the solitude of the library in a little, cosy corner with a window that overlooked the deserted field. I peered out the frosty window imagining how Harry Potter would look with transition lenses while the seventh book in the series rested neatly on the ancient looking table in front f me.
Suddenly someone hissed in my left ear frightening me out of my pondering. I had now started taking Karate classes and acted on instinct. I didn't mean for my left fist to connect with the force that it did to the left side of his well chiselled jaw...
"Bella, are you there?" Alice broke through my ill-timed reverie.
"You know what; pick me up at 7:30 at or usual spot." I didn't know what made me say that but I decided that I could have a little fun with Edward tonight.
After making further plans with Alice and hearing her squeals of joy, I lay back down on my welcoming bed and thought back to that afternoon in the library.
After accidentally punching him, a string of profanities filled the air, my shocked face turned beet red and the stout librarian came bustling towards us with her lip set in a grim line. What pretty much happened was that we both got banned from the library for a WHOLE week. At that moment I couldn't appreciate the beauty that was Edward Cullen, because I was furious beyond measure at him. He accused me of stealing his spot which I remember lacked his name.
The day after I met Alice and we became fast friends. I relayed my library encounter to her and might've mentioned how good looking Edward was. I later discovered that Edward was her twin brother which made me spit my cranberry juice all over her tiny face.
I laughed to myself for being so foolish as to mention the looks part. She now tortures me non-stop but we do have a common goal that makes our bond stronger; and that is making Edward's life totally miserable, we called it 'MELTM'.
I sprung off my bed and headed straight to my small closet in search of the perfect outfit for tonight. Alice would be busy with Jasper tonight so it would be my sole responsibility to carry out MELTM, and boy was I going to make him wish he stayed at home under his covers.
