Revenge is the sweetest thing.
Again I still don't own anything...
chapter 2: Turn my swag on.
(bpov)
hopped up out the bed, turn my swag on...
eugh it's 6:30. Damn you Soulja boy! I pressed the button on my alarm to make the sound stop. Okay its a good song, doesn't mean I wanna hear it this time in the morning. I've barely slept all night. Tossing and turning. No I'm not nervous, if that's what your thinking. I realised that there's really nothing to be nervous about. I'm not the same person, so they don't scare me any more. Well we'll soon find out if that's turn, won't we? Damn you conscience. You had to try to bring me down.
No, what kept my up, all night, was this rickety, old bed. Not only was it lumpy and worn out, but every time I moved the frame creaked. I'm defiantly buying a new bed. Actually scratch that, I'm completely changing me whole room. It holds way too many bad memories. Me and Jake hiding out here. Planning what we would do if only we could get our revenge. We even wrote a song about payback. But we were both too shy to perform it, so it kinda went to waste.
Jake was my best friend, here in Forks. We were both the targets of the Cullen's. But we stuck it out together. We were always great friends. Which lead to rumours being spread that we were dating. We weren't, not for want on Jakes part by the way, but no one believed us. Whenever we were seen together, which was a lot cause he was my only friend, and me his, they would yell "nerd love" it sounds really stupid to be upset over. But when you 14, no friends and all you want to do is fit in, having the whole school shouting stuff like that, it really upset me. Jake just got angry. But neither of us could do anything. We didn't tell anyone. My Dad, my Mom, the teachers. None of them knew. My Dad had his suspicions but I never confirmed it.
I sighed loudly. My whole body, screaming in protest of even the thought of getting out of bed. Even this horrible, uncomfortably one. But if I wanted to knock em' dead, give them the show they really want, channel inner model. I needed to get up out the bed, and turn my swag on. My motto for the day, I've just decided. As soon as I pulled the covers off myself, the cold air assaulted me. I ran as fast as I could to the bathroom, to get under the warm shower. I immediately relaxed. I'd turned it up to the warmest it would go. It started to burn slightly, but it created a beautiful tingly sensation. After washing and drying my hair, I started applying my make-up. I never used a lot, I'd always been told, that less is more, and that's what I live by. So my make-up was perfect, if I do say so myself, my hair was down and in natural curls all the way down my back. I opened my underwear draw. Hmm...which set? I settled on the dark blue lacy set, that I wore on my first show. Just wearing it made me feel so much more confident. I felt sexy. I could now totally channel my inner model. It was a cold day, I could feel it, I didn't need to look. So I pulled on my favourite dark blue skinny jeans (Dolce & Gabbana). I pulled on my high healed boots, Prada. I absolutely loved them. The boot itself was brown leather. The boot travelled only to mid-calf, and had laces up them, and don't forget the heel. I hardly ever wear flats. I pulled on just a plan, green long sleeved tee-shirt. It wasn't a big label, but it sure cost more than what the folks at Forks could afford. With that I pulled on my brown leather jacket. A present from Victoria. It was so beautiful, and a long with my underwear, wearing the jacket made me feel 100% confident and sexy. You better watch yourselves Cullen's. After accessioning with a bit of Chanel, I grabbed my bag (also Chanel) and went downstairs. It was now 7:30 and Dad had already left for work. So I sat alone eating my breakfast. I liked it this way though. Being alone with my thoughts. One of the perks of living with Charlie. He knew I'd talk if I wanted to, if not he didn't pressure me. He left a note on the door, wishing me luck and telling me he would see me tonight. I was cleaning up my bowl in the sink when I heard my iphone beep. No one ever texts my this early. Strange... I grabbed it and looked, I couldn't help smiling just from reading her words.
Hey B,
I know today's your first day back, so good luck, and give em' hell sweetie. Knowing you you'll be bathed in designer so I know you'll be fine. We all miss you here, and can't wait to see you again. I'll be there Saturday for the photo shoot, you need to be at the beach at 10. so call me any time even just to say hey.
Love you
Victoria.

Aww! So sweet of her. She knows me so well. Today is Thursday. That means I've gotta endure two days of school before the photo shoot, and I knew gossip will have already been spread about the location. I'd posed in front of people before. Just never people I knew. That's gonna be strange.
I checked the time. Better be heading off. My stomach doing flip flops. So much for not being nervous ey? I got in my baby, and pulled outta the drive. Mmm..she does drive like a dream. As I got to the school, I noticed the paparazzi standing outside. A lot for just one person, but I'm use to dealing with more, so it didn't really phase me. The students however? They were clearly loving it. I could see a few of the talking to news crews that were there. I knew exactly what they would be saying. Oh yea, I knew her, we're such good friends. Whatever, as soon as they saw my car though, the camera's were all pointed at me. I pulled into the school entrance and could see a large group of kids forming in the parking lot. All looking at me, mouth opened. They had to know it was me, I doubt any of them would be able to afford a car like this.
I pulled into a space, towards the back. If I wanted to make an impression, I couldn't park up front and walk the 3 steps the the front entrance. No, like I've said before, these kids want a show, so a show they'll get. I switched the engine off, took a deep breath, and opened the car door. As soon as my foot made contact with the pavement, I heard them yelling.
"Bella look over here"
"how does it feel to be back in school Bella?"
"Bella! Bella"
I couldn't even comprehend the rest. There was so much shouting, I couldn't make out what they were actually saying. I just turned towards them, gave them my best smile and a small wave. I grabbed my bag from the back, pulled my shirt down, a nervous habit I have, and looked towards the students. The biggest group of students were all stood, with there eyes gaping and slack jawed. Perfect. I looked towards a few of the smaller crowds, all doing the same thing. A few of the guys, who's eyes met mind, gave me a wink or a smile. Oh God this is gonna be a long day!
Then I met the eyes of the one person who I was actually looking forward to seeing. He started walking towards me, a big smile playing on his lips. I wanted to run to him, but that's old Bella would have done. So I did my runway walk. Swaying my hips. Turning my swag on... But I couldn't stop the goofy smile I was displaying. As soon as he was within reach, I wrapped my arms around his neck, and pulled him to me. He came willingly and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Jake" I whispered. To myself. He said nothing, just held me. When we finally broke apart, I noticed the paparazzi having a field day. Oh God I can see the headlines now.
I gave Jake an apologetic smile but he just chuckled.
"welcome home Bella" he whispered.
"thanks Jake" I replied.
He looked so good, I almost couldn't believe it was him. He was huge. About 6 foot tall, all muscle. Someone's been at the gym. He certainly wasn't the "nerd" as branded before. His silky black hair had been cut short and was now just left naturally, he didn't need to try he still looked good. His eyes were twinkling with excitment, and his smile was probably as stupid looking as mine. We tried to keep in touch after I left, but things just seemed to get the the way. The first few weeks after I left, I rang him everyday, emailed and texted. Then it became less and less until we exchanged maybe one text a week. If that. We tried. But life just got in the way.
"I've missed you so much Bells"
"me too Jake. But I'm back now. You look great by the way"
"I look great? I'm not the one in every magazine, newspaper, billboard and T.V station in the country. Bella you look absolutely amazing. Not that you didn't before, you know I've always thought you were beautiful"
"thanks Jake. But I think you might over exaggerating a tiny bit. The T.V adverts haven't even been filmed yet, and I've only done two talk shows" I laughed.
"ha-ha very funny" her replied sarcastically. "you know what I mean"
"yeah I do. Oh well better get the day started. Looks like it'll be interesting" i said as i nodded towards the large crowd, still staring.
With that he walked me to reception for me to pick up my time-table. As we were walking through the parking lot, I noticed all eyes on me. Shocking! But as we approached the entrance, my eyes locked with the most intense stare I've ever received. The powerful emerald green eyes were so beautiful I couldn't look away.
I didn't need to look at the rest of his face to know it was him.
Edward Cullen...
