Bring It
Chapter 1
BPOV
Freshman
year. Phoenix, Arizona.
"EDWARD, SHOOT THE SOCCER BALL!" I heard my older brother,
Emmett; say to possibly my best friend ever, Edward Cullen.
"Yeah
Edward, score before its Christmas, please, mum's making roast beef
tonight and that's my favourite!" I whined.
"Bella, like
you can score with your big bear of a brother in the way of the
goals," Emmett looked at Edward, with confusion written all over
his face, not understanding the meaning in Edwards words, then
Emmett said playfully, "Oh you're gonna get it now,
Eddie!"
Emmett then tackled Edward to the ground, and so their
play fight began. Me, being Bella Swan, hated,
not being included in
any boy action, so I pounced on top of Emmett and joined in their
little fight. I couldn't stand girls who fussed over the latest
styles or who broke a nail, I hung out with all the boys, with the
exception of Edward's sister Alice and Emmett's girlfriend
Rosalie Hale, they understood me enough to know that I didn't
understand all of that girlie crap, but were there for me when I
needed them.
Emmett's phone then rang with whatever rock metal music he had for a ringtone and we all broke apart from each other "Hey Rose," Emmett said into the phone, with a small smile spreading across his lips, "hold on a sec Rose, I gotta say bye to the guys then I can talk somewhere private-bye Edward, Bella." Then he ran up to our house, slamming the door behind him, I definitely knew I didn't want to know what they were going to talk about, trust me, one day I overheard them talking, and it wasn't pretty, I was then pretty wise enough not to listen to any of his "talks" with Rosalie.
"Sooooo,
what to do now Bells?" Edward asked me, his crooked smile showing,
which left me stunned. Oh yeah. Did I tell you? I have a crush on my
best friend Edward. Crazy, huh? I know.
"I dunno; kick the ball
a bit for a while?" I was clueless on what to do; I just wanted to
be around him. Ugh that sounded like a real
girl.
"Sure." As he helped me up, a tingling shot went up my
hand and through my arm, and I then had the crazy impulse to kiss
him, and did just that. At first he responded, kissing me back then
pushed me away saying, "What the hell are you doing, Bella?"
Feeling shocked and rejected I stood up straighter and didn't say
anything, after a few minutes of me looking into his emerald green
eyes, I turned and ran away into the house. Renee, my mother, was the
first to greet me that was when I told her I wanted to live with
Charlie in Forks. I didn't speak another word to Edward, only
speaking to my family, Alice, Rosalie and her brother Jasper.
Present Day. Phoenix, Arizona. Junior Year.
Here I am, back in Phoenix, you may wanna know why the move, huh? Charlie died. Of a heart attack. Long story short, I've changed. So now, I actually care about my appearance, meaning yes, I care if I break a nail now. I hang out with the girls now, we talk boys and the latest fashion, and oh boy would Alice be pleased! Don't get me wrong, part of the old me is still here, just the rest is taking a very temporary vacation.
So, where was I? Oh yes, here I am walking down the halls of Arizona State High School, feeling a strange feeling of déjà vu wash over me, I remember of all the pranks me and the boys used to play on all the girlie girls, the way Edward smooth-talked the girls into thinking that he actually liked them... No thinking about Edward, he shut you out a looooooooooooooooong time ago Bella, then a pang to my heart came thinking of how much I've missed him.
A
guy came up to me, he looked familiar... "Hey, I'm Zack, you must
be new here, do you need a tour guide....?" his question trailed
off then he said, "do I know you from somewhere, I think we've
met before?"
"Um, yeah, it's Bella, Zack, we used to be
friends when we were freshmen," a smile crept onto my face as
realisation came to his.
"Dude, you've changed, you're like
wearing a skirt and wearing make-up shit, didn't you hate the
stuff?" he asked, his eyes wandering over my appearance.
"Yeah,
but people change I guess..."
"Oh boy, wait till Edward see's
you now... wow just in luck, he's coming here now."
Oh
God, please oh please don't help him remember me.
"Bella,
is that you?" that velvety voice asked.
Oh
shit. He saw me.
