He hates me
Part 2
Day 7 (still)
I'm finally calmed enough to form a coherent thought in my brain. Okay, perhaps I did overreact a little bit when I came inside her room and she chased me with a hair gold plated straightener on one hand and a sleek hair serum on the other.
But once again I became the victim of a makeover attack. God knows, I've only been friends with Alice for a couple of days, her upbeat manner kind of tires me out.
So this is pretty much what happened. I pulled my truck in to the driveway. My breathe still catches whenever I see the Cullen house.
I've pretty much been over at Alice's house everyday, and each day she always tries to attack me with make-up products and such, so I don't know why today was going to be any different.
I hopped down my red truck and headed towards the door, hoping to god that Edward doesn't open the door. But in a way I was in conflict with myself.
I wanted to see Edward. I felt honor with the fact that whenever he's in the same room as me, we are actually sharing breathing space.
But of course he's always ever so blank with me. To him, I'm just one of his sisters friends. Crushing on someone can be so tiresome, especially when that mentioned someone can't see you as anything else but an acquaintance.
So I started heading towards the door, I stood there for a couple of seconds before pressing the doorbell. I waited anxiously.
Then I heard the door creak open. The sight of Edward made me almost lose my mind. He was standing there with nothing but his boxers on.
My eyes did this thing where they traveled all the way down and stayed rooted on the spot where his 6 pack showed.
A cool girl would have gone "Hey there hot stuff, I'm here to see your sister, but if you want we can get friendly!" but seeing as I'm not exactly cool. I just stood there, with a little bit of drooling action and just mumbled "Alice…Homework…" Edward just smirked, nodded inside.
I kind of stumbled inside, not before tripping over the coat stand and toppling everything on it. I hurriedly tried to pick everything up, but then I tripped on one of the coats.
"I am so sorry!!" I pleaded apologetically.
"Look, just go to my sisters room, I'll get these" he smiled slightly. I mean it wasn't a smirk, it was more like an amused smile.
So I ran up the stairs towards Alice's room before I made more of an ass of myself.
I walked past the gigantic wooden cross on the end of the stair way. I honestly don't know what that was doing there, the Cullen's just didn't seem like the religious type.
I turned to my left, almost getting lost, accidentally opening Emmet's room where I saw him playing with Rosalie Hale's blonde hair.
Rosalie's beauty made me feel sick to my stomach. She had the classic ice queen look. Blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes. I could tell that Rosalie doesn't really like me that much. Her glares explains it all.
Her brother was nicer, he actually smiles at me. I met him on my second day when he said hi to Alice. I couldn't help noticing Alice's face, for some weird reason she was blushing A LOT.
I finally found Alice's door and opened it. I expected to see all of her school books scattered everywhere, instead I found her holding a hairbrush on one hand and her hair straightener on the other.
I quickly bolted out of the door, sensing disaster as it loomed over me. "Oh no you don't! Come here Bella, don't make me tackle you!" she yelled.
To be honest I wasn't that scared, I mean Alice is miniscule. I was surprised that she was actually fast on her feet, she caught me in no time and dragged me back to her room. "Alice! What the hell! Come on! Quit it!" I started yelling. Then she suddenly stopped.
Alice looked at me with her hazel eyes. I watched as they went round, and turned in to sickly cute puppy dog eyes. "Bella don't you trust me?" she sniffed. Her sad expression was just so heart breaking.
"Aw come on Alice! That's hardly fair!" I bit back. Then her lips started to quiver, as if she was really going to cry. And of course, stupid me, stupid Bella fell for it.
"Fine! Do whatever you want!" I scoffed. The the heartbreaking smile was gone and was replaced by her mischievous smile. Now this was the Alice I know and love. What an evil little pixie.
I scowled at her and headed towards her bathroom and plopped myself down her squishy beautician's chair. I stared suspiciously at the handle of the chair. I could have sworn I saw this chair on the mall for about 300.
Alice dragged me out of the chair and took me towards the sink where she took my head and ran water through it. I squealed.
"Relax Bella! It's just water, I'm just washing your hair, so I can apply these serum!" and so she did. Having shampoo worked up in a lather. Once she was done she applied some serum, then blow dried my hair.
I watched as she went a little crazy with the hair straightened. I had no idea what she was doing, since it didn't seem like she was really straightening it.
When she was done she started applying all kinds of make up on me. Trying to give me the natural look. I had no idea what she was doing. And to be honest, I was starting to freak out.
Then all too soon, I heard my stomach grumble, Alice heard it too. So we both decided to go to the kitchen. I had to change my white t-shirt and pants because somehow Alice soaked it by accident.
I ended up wearing Alice's bunny pajama bottoms with these brown tank top with majestic embroidery around the neckline. I was about to reach for my hoodie but Alice stopped me.
"Forget it Bella, everybody is probably in their rooms anyways, nobody is going to see you wearing my bunny pajama bottoms" she said. So I shrugged. I left Alice to clean up a bit and headed towards the kitchen.
I started walking down the hall way, going past various rooms. Then I heard my name. I know, I know, its bad to eavesdrop, but hey I just couldn't resist.
I leaned in, pressing my ears against the door. I could hear voiced coming from the other side of the door. It sounded a lot like Jasper and Edward too.
"What is up with that chick who's always hanging around your sister?" came Jasper's curious voice. Then I heard laughing which sounded a lot like Emmet.
"Ouch! Why did you do that for?" he complained. "So anyway, she's that new girl. She's a klutz, I heard she's also Chief Swan's daughter. I think her name is Becca or something" there was more laughing coming from Emmet, "And I'm pretty sure she's got a gigantic crush on Edward, you can tell, she goes a red as a tomato whenever he's around!" then there was another 'ouch!' and 'ows!'.
I was about to walk away from embarrassment when I heard Edward say something that would probably stay in my mind for a very long time.
"She's just some random girl who doesn't even have much going for her, and if she does have a crush on me, then maybe one of you can explain to her that I don't go for weak girls without substance" he said lazily, breaking my already broken heart.
"Yeah, yeah, substance my ass. I mean come on! You went out with Tanya just because she had big jugs!" Emmet laughed.
"You have a point there" Jasper joined in.
I tried to walk away, but everything I just heard pretty much got my head spinning. I tried to go back to Alice's room, but instead I accidentally broke a flower vase.
"What the!" Edward yanked the door open and looked like he was about to start yelling when he suddenly stopped.
His beautiful face that was set in a scowl now looked at me with a slightly shocked expression. I just stared at him with a really guilty face. Then Emmet crashed in to Edward and grabbed his shoulder to see what was happening.
He looked at me with the same expression that Edward had, then he looked at the shattered pieces of glass everywhere. Then he started laughing, he started shaking all over the place, then wiped the tears coming out of his eyes.
I looked to Edward who was still staring at me with such intensity that I wanted to shrivel up. Oh god, I think he hates me.
"I am so, so , so sorry! I'll clean it up-" but I was cut off when Alice pranced up to where we all stood. "Oh Bella, I can't even leave you alone without breaking anything! Come here, leave it there, I'm sure the boys will clean it up!"
"But Alice I-I-" I stuttered. Then I heard Edward speak. "Nah, we'll clean it, you guys go" he said with that same velvet voice. I looked at him apologetically as Alice dragged me down the stairs. But not before I heard Edward say "Do you think she heard what I said?"
Oh oh oh, I just want to blow up right now! That has got to be my worst day ever! After Alice fed me, I just told her Charlie was expecting me home early. Of course that was a lie. Charlie didn't care much these days.
There's no way I can ever erase the words Edward said to me. Because right at that moment I felt my mental string snap.
School is going to suck tomorrow!
