1Hello, there!
I've got a new story here called the Bus Stop Chronicles.
Yes, Bella's more carefree and less annoying in this one.
And yes, she's going GREEN!
And of course, this just happened to be based on true events that I will be bending around and changing just a bit.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but a can of honey-roasted peanuts. Yum!

I, Bella Swan, am the smartest girl in the world.
My teachers at Seattle University said so. I am the smartest girl ever.
Well, was. It's hard to keep up with school when you're heart's not into it, alright?
My heart was never in it.
I always gave up after a while.
Dad always told me I had a little Renee in me.
With this thought in mind, it seemed ironic that I had a perfectly normal life. Two best friends, a boyfriend, and a huge white husky named Bambi.
I went on through my high school and short-lived college life being this normal girl. And I was perfectly content. I was fine with normal.
My two best friends were Rosalie and Alice Cullen. Two overly excited sisters that had a keen eye for spotting men and the perfect pair of boots. Alice was happily engaged to Jasper Whitlock, a Southern real estate agent who had a strange obsession with Jesus.
Rosalie was currently dating a good friend of Jasper's— Emmett McCarty. He was a fine, built man who loved to annoy the crap out of me, then take me to a bunch of Indie music festivals to make up for making me cry. He was a huge music junkie, and worked for a newspaper, reviewing concerts in the area.
My long-time boyfriend, Jacob Black was simple. He was a cop in training and he was totally in love with me. And I wasn't in love with him.
And I felt extremely bad about it.
Jacob was extremely handsome. He mostly wore white t-shirts that showed off his muscular body and shorts that made your mouth water. Baby got back.
His smile was gorgeous. He made me laugh at least ten times a day. A perfect boyfriend, Jacob was. But never good enough in my heart.
Again, my heart never was into it.
So here I am, walking down the street in a red strapless sundress, a perfect pair of sandals, my hair in two braids, and sunglasses. Bambi is panting beside me, his huge white paws stomping. He's lucky that I care enough to go take him to the groomer's. The sun is burning my pale skin, and I'm sweating up a storm. I knew I should've rode my bicycle instead of taking the bus.
The walk to the bus was so long, but calm anyway.
Bambi whines, sitting under the shade under a man sitting on the bench of the bus stop, his face buried in his hands.
I raise an eyebrow, awkwardly sitting down next to him and pulling my sunglasses up on the top of my head.
"Nice day, huh?" I ask him, hoping he's okay and not drunk.
He looks up at me, his eyes rimmed red and tears running down his face. "I guess so."
"Hey, are you alright?" I poke him on the shoulder when he continues to bury his face in his hands.
He shrugged, letting Bambi lick his face. Bambi was such a sweetheart. And incredibly gay. He was always up some guy's crotch.
After a few moments of fidgeting, I had to ask, "So where are you heading?"
The man looked up at me, shrugging again. "I don't know."
I nodded, taking a good look at this miserable creature. Copper-brown hair, dark green eyes, nice pale skin, and perfect plump pouty lips. My perfect man.
I smiled, extending my hand out to him. "I'm Isabella Swan and that white dog licking your face is Bambi Swan."
He looked at my hand for a moment and looked at the dog next to him, ready to pounce and hump. Mr. Depression half-smiled before taking my hand and said, "I'm Edward Masen."
I bit my lip, yearning to say something. I blurt it out anyway. "So...why so sullen?"
Edward chuckled. "I've just been dumped, Isabella."
I loved the way he said my name. I smiled a little bit as he patted Bambi's head.
"I've been dumped before." I said, feeling like a four-year-old. I didn't have to prove myself. But I felt the need to.
He raised his eyebrows at me, in mock surprise, a slight smirk on his face.
"Yep. By my current boyfriend, Jacob. I've never dumped. I want to dump him. But I can't. I'm just waiting for him to do it himself."
Edward chuckled again, making me blush. Anything else you'd like to tell the world about?
"Hey, did you know this dress is eco-friendly?" I grinned. I was a hippie at heart. As soon as they sold eco-friendly fibers at my local shopping mall, I ran and bought dresses and shirts in every colour. Who doesn't love saving the world?
Edward smiled. "It's lovely."
I probably turned scarlet by now.
The bus arrived just in time, saving me from more embarrassment.
Edward sat next to me on the bus as Bambi continued to lick every part of his upper body. He cringed, pulling away when Bambi poked his nose in his ear.
I giggled, grabbing my phone from my bag.
"Hello?" I said, still laughing.
"Hello! Bella, where are you?" It was Alice, checking up on me. She couldn't trust me since I lost myself in Forks by accident.
I looked at Edward, who was now a pillow to my dog. I smiled at him, happy that he's being nice to my humper. "I'm going to get Bambi groomed. And just hang out, I guess. I met someone at the bus stop. Say hello, Edward!"
I put the receiver near Edward's beautiful mouth and he grinned a beautiful grin before saying, "Hello?"
I pulled the receiver back to me, hearing Alice's squeals. "Is this it? Is this the guy you're getting to get rid of Jacob?"
I blushed, "Alice, I'll call you later."
I clicked the phone off, knowing she'd call me back every three minutes. When I looked up, I met a pair of dark green eyes looking at me, smoldering.
I shivered, breaking him of his gaze.
"So, who was the girl?" I asked, trying to act like I didn't care. I really didn't. I hardly knew the guy.
He smirked and told me her name was Tanya. She was a strawberry blonde and had a nasty attitude. Edward had caught her cheating on him with one of his co-workers.
And that's that.
By the time he had finished his story, it was my stop. I was itching to ask him to come with me, but decided against it.
He followed me anyway.
