A/N: Okay. Here is chapter two of TFC. I liked this one because Alice is in it! Who doesn't fucking love Alice? Especially an innocent one... X] Anyways, I'd like to thank everyone who who alerted this and favorited it. That was a lot of notification emails which go to my phone so my phone kept buzzing. Haha! Thanks. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything of name brand that I put in this story and things of the sort. Otherwise, it's mine. ALL MIIINNNNEEEE! lol Sorry. Got carried away, there...
Bella's POV:
"Hey, Dad! Can we borrow your car?"
"Yeah, su-"
"Thanks!" I slammed the door and ran out to the '05 Camry. It was a nice greyish color. I wasn't much for cars but I could tell a fine machine when I saw one.
"C'mon, Jake! You're driving!" Jacob came from the backyard gate, ran to the driver's seat and hopped in. I went around to the passenger's side.
"So, find any good spots for planting back there?" I asked as I buckled my seat belt.
"The whole backyard is perfect but I doubt Dad will like that idea. I know he said no rules but a farm of weed isn't exactly something he would willingly go for..."
"I know but that's great. Just one little corner will be just fine."
"Okay. Which way do you think town is?" I contemplated this and then thought back to memories of the town when my parents would take me.
"Uhh... Take a left down that road and keep following it, I think."
"Whatever."
Jake reversed us out and got us onto the street. He followed my directions as we fell into a comfortable silence. I had a feeling I would like the quiet town compared to the bustling city.
"I like the rainy quiet. A perfect get away, don't you think?" Jacob asked like a husband asked his wife how she felt about the weather. I laughed at his tone and replied with a nod. "I was just thinking the same thing."
Jake turned onto a winding road and pulled onto the main street of the town. It was just how I remembered it. The buildings were older but not rundown and they edged the streets, neatly.
"Let's park somewhere and walk around."
"Cool. I'll park over by that diner. It looks decent." He did as he said and parked in the parking lot of the small, quaint diner.
"Not too shabby." I replied, looking out the front windshield. I got out and leaned on the side of the car waiting for Jake to get out.
"Which way?"
"It doesn't matter," He shot back bitterly.
"What do you mean? You need to chill out."
"Sorry, Bells. I just forgot we have no money so it wouldn't matter if we did find a connect." I thought on what he was saying.
"Looks like we'll just have to wait for the green to start rolling in. In the mean time, let's hang out here and maybe we could apply or something." He simply nodded and wrapped an arm around my shoulder and guided us inside.
The door opened with a ding from the bell atop, signifying our entrance. The patrons looked our way, staring and going quiet. I blushed slightly, not liking being the center of attention. Jake just pulled me towards the bar and sat us on some stools. I observed the room. Red booths lined the walls and the bar was in the center. Very typical.
"How may I help you two? My name is Jasper." I was brought out of my thoughts by a manly but kind voice. I looked to the face that matched the voice. It was a blond guy with bright blue eyes and shaggy but stylish hair. He was very attractive but not my type.
I smiled and replied, "Oh well, we're new in town and have no cash on us. I'm afraid we're here to loiter." He chuckled at my joke but his eyes were focused on Jacob, to my left. I glanced at Jake who was gazing into Jasper's eyes, deeply entranced. I never seen him look like that but I had an idea why. Jasper wasn't my type, he was Jacob's.
I laughed as well but for a different reason entirely.
"Earth to Jacob! Come in, Jake!" I ruined their little moment on purpose, just to piss off my brother.
"Uh.. I... Hi! I'm Jacob. This is my sister, Bella." He recovered swiftly, extending his hand which gripped Jasper's in a nice sexy handshake.
We learned that embarrassment cramps our style so we take those moments in stride and have a very high confidence level. Not on a douche bag level but enough to take a joke.
Jake shot me a side-glare, which meant payback. I forced myself to hide my smile.
"Well, it's nice to meet you both. Where you guys from?"
"New York. Bells, here, is actually from Forks."
"How interesting. I'd love to stay and chat but-"
"Jasper! Another cup of coffee over here! Chop, chop!"
"Duty calls." He seemed truly remorseful for leaving our conversation. He bowed his head and walked off to the shouting customer.
"What the hell was that, bro? I never found you the one for gaping."
"Oh ha ha. Very funny. He's totally hot! I wonder if he's gay..."
"I saw him vibing you so maybeh..."
"Maybeh..." He said more to himself. We sat there and chatted, idly for two hours and noticed it was nearing closing time.
"Hey, you two. As much as we loved your non-paying company, it's closing time." A hulk like man said with a wide grin showing his playful natural. I laughed.
He was very handsome but had too much muscle. His eyes were a bright green, his hair was dark brown, curly and was cropped short. He had big dimples in his smile which made him less intimidating and more cuddly looking, almost like a teddy bear.
"Be nice, Emmett. I'm afraid he's right, though. Sorry." Jasper cut in, taking off his apron.
"It's okay. We were just leaving." I stated brightly. Jacob nodded there way, trying to be cool, and put his hand on the small of my back to walk us to the car.
"Hey! Wait!" I turned back towards the two guys behind the counter.
"Yes...?" Jacob replied.
"Uh.. Well... I was taking out the trash when you guys were getting out of your car and I overheard some of the things you were saying and... I..." Emmett trailed looking terribly embarrassed. Somehow, that didn't seem to suit his nature just by looking at him.
"Don't worry about offending us. It takes something personal to set us off." I said with a wink.
He sighed and continued. "Okay. I overheard you guys talking about a dealer of some sort and I was wondering... if you knew any!" He forced out at the end.
Jake and I looked to each other, eyes full of mirth. We then proceeded to laugh our asses off. Emmett seemed to have eased up at our demeanor and Jasper just looked curious and surprised.
"Should we tell them?"
"Does it look like we have a choice?"
"Not really but I always want to know your opinion, jeezzz!" I said in a manly tone. We laughed once more before Jacob proceeded to explain.
''Well, considering us being new arrivals in town, we were going on a hunt for some pot dealers, today. We then realized we had no money so then entered your fine establishment and sat here, doing nothing. We have some growing but that'll take a couple of weeks for them to be ready and ripe for the toking. Bella and I are pretty impatient in that area but I guess we have to wait now. If you guys don't know any dealers, we sure as hell don't. Sorry, bro."
"It's all good, man. I was just wondering because I've never tried it and you guys looked like... well, no offense but like a couple of stoners." That one I had to guffaw at. Jasper reciprocated the feeling.
"I have to agree with Emmett, here. You two do look a bit laid back."
"Eh, we aim to please no one but ourselves and perhaps others that are willing." Jacob said meaningfully looking at Jasper, who turned bright pink and looked away with a glint in his eyes.
"Well, Dad will be wondering where we are so we better head home. See ya, guys!"
"Before you go, do you two go to Forks High?" Jasper asked hopefully. How cute.
"We start tomorrow." Jake said just as hopeful.
"Awesome! You should sit with our group! Everyone will love you!" Emmett boomed.
"Will do, bye!" We waved and went straight for the car. I drove us home at a normal pace and got there within ten minutes.
"Hey, Jake. I'm going to sleep. I'll see you in the morning. Night!"
"Night, Bells. I love ya!"
"Love you, too, Jake."
With that I entered the house as Jacob went around back to plant the precious seeds. The house was dark, which meant my Dad was asleep. I crept up the stairs and into the bathroom to shower. I finished after an hour and went to straight to my bed, prepared to sleep naked. That's how I'd always done it and nothing was changing it.
The most annoying sound rang through my room. My alarm was blaring, forcing me awake. I looked at the time as I shut it off and it was six.
Considering my past, my clothing was nothing special but wash fresh enough to look with the times, not like a hobo.
"C'mon, Bella! Wake up!" I heard Jake yell from downstairs. "Coming!"
I grabbed my simple black jeans, dark green converse, favorite sweater and my Pink Floyd shirt. I rushed to get dressed, excited to start the school day and a normal life. It took me ten minutes to get dressed and groomed properly.
I practically ran down the stairs and went to the small sized kitchen.
"Finally! It took you forever."
"Whatever. What is there to eat?"
"Cereal and Scotch."
"I like this house's food supply!" I winked and quickly downed a bowl of cereal.
"Slow down, Bella! You're freaking out, man!"
"Sorry. I'm just excited for today. I feel something good is going to come out of it."
"Wow. What a mighty prophecy, young padiwan."
"You're so lame!" "Suuurreee. Says you!"
"Let's go to school." I went over to sink and on the counter was a note.
Bella and Jake,
I'm at work now but I left you two a nice little homecoming gift. I hope you like the color.
Dad
Keys were under the note and they were for an old Volkswagen. "I swear if I think it is what it is I'm gonna freak!" I shouted.
I wasted no time and ran out to the driveway. In Charlie's spot was a 1969 Volkswagen Bus, shiny yellow. I was in love.
"Holy. SHIT!" I hopped into the driver's seat as Jake raced out the house and sat in passenger side.
"Dude, this is so fucking amazing. I love Dad, already!"
"Me too!"
"Let's blow this Popsicle stand!" As he said the words I pulled us onto the road towards school, which we saw in town. Within ten minutes, we were there and ready for our new start as regular people.
We pulled into a parking spot a little ways off from the school so we could buy some time.
I checked out Jacob's outfit. He was wearing his red and black converse, Led Zeppelin t shirt, leather jacket and his favorite choker necklace with color designs and crazy beads. He looked like a total gay stoner. Then again, so did I.
We were nearing the office building and saw some students lingering in the halls and in the parking lot, chatting before class. As soon as we opened the doors, we heard the whispers and felt the stares. I ignored them, knowing they were just pointlessly interested.
Jake opened the door and let me go in first, like a gentleman. I giggled and pulled inside by the hand and dragged him to the front desk.
"Hi. I'm Bella Swan and this is Jacob Black. We here to pick our schedules."
"Ah yes, dear. Here you go. I've been awaiting your arrival." A piggy woman with fake red hair said like a creeper. I awkwardly laughed and shuffled out of the room with Jacob in tow. We took a seat outside of the door on the benches. I handed Jake his schedule and a map.
"I got English, Math, Health, Lunch and then PE. What about you, Bella?"
"I have all the same but I have Art last period. Aww man. Who's going to help my shenanigans? I guess its a solo adventure." We laughed at my silliness.
"It'll be fine. Maybe Jasper has a super hot sister in that class..." He replied with a smirk and wink.
"Wow. Sure. Like that'll ever happen."
The bell signifying to get to class rang throughout the halls and we made our way to English. The morning classes went by fast when Jake and I would mess with the teachers.
In Math, Jake and I switched slips with our names on it and claimed to be each other. She fell for it before we busted up laughing, being separated in the class. We still passed notes and fucked with the other people.
Forks townsfolk were so gullible.
Health, we took the free condoms and blew them up into balloons. Everyone, even the teacher, got a kick out of that one. The lunch bell sounded after Health class.
"Okay. Let's go find Emmett and Jasper."
"Sure thing, homes," I replied nonchalantly.
"Homes?"
"Shhhhh... They'll hear you."
"Jesus, you're such a stoner."
"Yeah, yeah."
Once we finished talking, we made it into the Cafeteria. We walked towards the middle of the medium sized eating area. Since it was medium sized, that gave everyone the right to stare, apparently.
"Ugh. Fuck these fake bitches. They act like we can't hear them whisper shit. Dumb asses." Jacob said irritated. I solemnly nodded and gazed around for Emmett or Jasper.
"Bella! Jake! Over here, guys!" I instantly knew that booming voice. Emmett was waving from the far corner of the room.
At the table was Jasper, a girl who looked just like Jasper, twin worthy, a cute looking guy with bronze-brown hair and next to him was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen. Her eyes were a bright green and her hair soft-looking short hair was a dark brown. She looked in relation to Emmett.
"Oh hey!" Jake yelled back and picked me up bridal style.
I just giggled as he carried me over to the table with ease. People gave us weird looks but I stared them all down, showing that I knew they were looking. That made them turn away pretty fast. We reached our destination.
Jacob set me down but kept an arm around my shoulder. Though I was momentarily distracted, I still had that goddess at the forefront of my mind. I could also see her looking on with curiosity from the corner of my eye. She also looked a little disappointed but I didn't dwell on it.
"Hey, you two! It's good to see you guys! Let me introduce you to our group, yo. This is Rosalie my girlfriend, Edward my brother and Alice, the little pixie looking crazy chick aka my baby sister."
"Not a baby anymore, thanks! I'll accept the crazy part."
Everyone laughed at their banter. All of my focus seemed to be on her, though I didn't stare. I found it rude and creepy to gawk at beautiful girls. She was really wanting me to break my own rules and just marvel at her gorgeous features.
"It's nice to meet all of you. You all seem very genuine, unlike the rest of the people we've met all day." I said with a bitter tone towards the end.
"Well, sit down and explain to us. We aren't used to new people so this should prove interesting." Replied Edward who had no problem checking me out with my full attention. Too bad I was gay.
"Yes, please! Bella, sit next to me!" Alice piqued cheerfully, though had something in her eye I couldn't quite place.
I did as she said with a smile and a wink when her grin grew and her cheeks turned a light pink, showing her embarrassment. I laughed at her expense. She joined seeming to know what I was laughing at. The rest of the table looked on like we were crazy for laughing for no reason.
"Anyways, how was your first day here, Jake?" Jasper said with true interest and they carried on their own conversation with Rosalie and Emmett, aswell. He had the same glint in his eye as Alice's.
I smiled, knowing what it meant. Someone was smitten.
"So, Bella. How's school for you? I know being new can be hard for some." Edward asked right as Alice opened her mouth to speak. I tried to hide my smile from her huffing like a child.
"It was okay. Jake and I have every class together except our last one. I have Art and he has PE."
"Oh my gosh! I have Art next also, Bella! I'll show you to class. Don't worry." Alice piped up with glee.
"Awesome! Hey, Jake! You were right! Hot girls would be in my Art class."
Rosalie giggled furiously, Emmett boomed out loud laughter, Jasper seemed surprised but humorous, Jake had the all knowing smirk, Edward seemed taken aback by the comment and Alice; Her face turned a bright red and turned away from everyone, while her ears were hot pink. It was so adorable.
"Wow. I'm sorry if I embarrassed you Alice. I just don't care what people think and I believe everyone deserves to know that there's some sexy bitches sitting at this table. Excluding Jake. He's a fugly hoe!" I yelled the ending in his face with broke into a smirk.
"Fuck you. At least I'm discrete about checking out ass. You like to just gawk and wink, you creeping slut!"
Rosalie and Emmett couldn't catch their breath, they were laughing so hard. Jasper was chuckling, holding back. Edward turned away uninterested but still kept his eye on me. Alice just burst into high pitched giggles. I was unprepared for what came next.
"I mean, I understand you think she's hot but at least have the decency of telling poor Alice you like her ass!" My laughing and her laughing stopped abruptly which made everyone else laugh harder. Jacob's face was smug but winked showing he was kidding. My face was one of shock and then it turned mischievous.
"I could say the same to you." Jacob choked on his water when I replied.
"I mean, jeez! Jasper should at least know that you want his fine form! It's just common courtesy to tell someone you're obviously dig their bodeh."
Edward's neutral face broke into a chuckle. Alice's face was still red but was cooling down after I gave her a suggestive wink. "God damn. Emmett, you really know how to pick 'em." Rosalie said with mirth. Jacob's face was a tad bit red. Jasper's face was twisted into one of confusion and then he changed from pale ghost to ripe tomato, eyes wide.
"Uh.. I..."
"That's right, bro. Busted. Payback's a bitch, perhaps?"
"Fine. You win." Jake sighed in defeat but then quickly cheered up. Jasper still seemed to be in shock but remained calm and quiet.
The bell to last period rang through the cafeteria.
"I'll see you after class, Bella. Bye!" Jake called over his shoulder as he followed Jasper out of the room. Everyone said their goodbyes and went their separate ways, leaving Alice and I alone.
"Bella?"
"Yes?"
"Did you mean what you said? I mean it's okay if it was for the sake of a joke I just..." she struggled, "I just want to know."
"Well, of course I did! I don't find the purpose in lying to anyone but the law. I find you very beautiful." Her cheeks were once again rosy pink.
"Thank you. I think you're pretty, too.." She said nervously. Could she get anymore adorable?
"Thanks. Enough with this stuff that's making you nervous, which there's no reason to be, and let's get to class. Cool?"
Alice looked to me with wide eyes at first but then grinned big.
"Cool."
I could get used to her being around me this frequently. I think I like her.
I thought as she took me to class.
