Ch. 2 – I hate the Mall
I woke up once again to an insistent buzzing noise ringing in my ears.
"God I need a new alarm clock." I thought as I stumbled out of bed and into the shower. I completed my usual routine and headed downstairs, not even bothering to eat breakfast. I was too excited; today was Friday.
I met up with Alice and Leah in the cafeteria before school began and we went over the final details of later today. We would meet up five minutes after school let out. From there, we'd go to the salon to get my hair done as well as get waxed. God I shuddered at that fact. But after you got waxed, you stayed red for a few days, so the sooner I got it, the faster the red went away. After my wax we would head back to Alice's to stay the night and come Saturday, we'd go shopping. Sunday was my beauty day. We would spend the whole day finishing up my look, putting my outfits together, getting pedis/manis, and playing with make up all day. I had a feeling that if I had homework over the weekend, it wasn't going to get done.
The bell rang and Leah and I once again, headed to Calculus. As I sat in class, I was really beginning to wonder when I was ever going to use this stuff. I'm not positive what I want to do with my life, but I will sure as hell make sure it has nothing to do with this crap. I looked up to see none other than Jacob Black once again strutting into class fifteen minutes late. But of course he doesn't get in trouble, no, never! But ever since Leah's little outburst, Mr. Sac-O-Wrinkles turned into Mr. Sac-O-Glare. He seemed to think I was some kind of evil perverted child who hid shackles in my backpack. Although, with Jacob's fine exterior, he might not be far off!
Luckily for me, Emmett and his group of friends sat at the table directly across from us; I had a perfect view of Jacob . . . and Lauren – Eww. Fortunately, the football players ran track when I had P.E., which meant I'd be seeing Jacob run shirtless for the rest of the season. Good god! I was glad it was Friday. I was pulled from my thoughts once again when the bell rang. Leah and I winked at each other as I headed to AP French.
The class in itself wasn't that bad; I quite enjoyed French, and spoke it fluently as well. It's supposed to be the language of love, but so far, it's done nothing but earn me the title of 'nerd' and 'teacher's pet.' Well excuse me for actually reading my French book. Jeez, teenagers these days. I shook my head and walked in my class and smiled as my teacher greeted me. For being an AP class, I'm pretty positive that I'm the only one that could fluently speak French besides Mr. Allary. I had to admit, he was rather cute. He was a young teacher, only about 25 – 26, about 5' 10" with light brown skin, hazel/green eyes, a bright smile, and freckles everywhere. He always wore his hair uncombed and constantly ran his ringers through it. It reminded me of Edward; he always ran his fingers through his hair. But having a crush on my French teacher is the last thing I need, because lawsuits are always so much fun.
I kind of had a funny feeling that Mr. Allary had a crush on me, or maybe that was just false hope. He did seem to take more interest in me than in any other member of the class. But that could be because I'm one of the very few that seem to really participate. I couldn't stop myself from daydreaming in the middle of Mr. Allary's lecture. It was also completely out of my hands when I pictured Jacob speaking the French teacher's words; the eloquence of the words and the way his mouth moved, good lord.
I was suddenly getting claustrophobic and I needed to get out of the room. Lunch was soon, he wouldn't mind if I left, right? The last thing I needed to be doing was fantasizing that Mr. Allary was Jacob, holy crap I'm pathetic. I attempted to distract him by pretending to be transfixed in my book, hoping that Mr. Allary didn't think that I was day-dreaming about him; now that would be mortifying.
I went against my better judgment and asked to be excused to lunch early claiming that I didn't feel well. He went along with it and allowed my early departure. I headed to the cafeteria and sat down at a table with my head down, waiting for the bell to ring.
"Hey." The voice startled me so bad I fell out of my chair.
"Oomph!" Was the only thing that came out of my mouth. Next thing I knew, Jacob was towering over me, offering me his hand. I looked up at him in surprise.
"It's okay, I'm not gonna bite." I saw him smirk and per usual, I blushed and gratefully accepted his hand. I didn't realize how strong he was until he pulled me up so hard I ended up flat against his chest with nothing but my hands as a small barrier. I looked up at him and gulped. He smelled so good and through his shirt I could feel every rippling muscle on his chest; that made my breath hitch. I hadn't ever been this close to Jacob, and it was definitely having an effect on me.
Next thing I knew, the shrill of the bell was ringing through my ears and I jumped back from Jacob. I quickly mumbled an apology and ran off to the lunch line but not before I once again had the pleasure of witnessing the corners of Jacob's mouth turn slightly upward. I wanted nothing more than to kiss that smirk off of his face, screw wiping it! A short time later I was sitting at my table with the rest of the girls. It would also happen that I had a direct view of Jacob all throughout lunch. I couldn't help but replay the moment in my head over and over. His smell alone was enough to drive me mad. If I wasn't hooked before, I was definitely fish bait now. I shook my head and tried not to think about the yearning I have for my brother's best friend. I joined in on the conversation and found myself laughing easily and slowly drifting from the Adonis that had plagued my mind for the past years.
School couldn't have ended any sooner. P.E. was once again mortifying. Today, coach had us run laps on the track with the football players. It would also happen that my shoe lace would come untied at the exact second Jacob was about to pass me. As I fell over for the second time that day, Jacob once again came up and offered my hand, only this time, I didn't fly to his chest. I almost frowned at the missed memory. I once again thanked Jacob, blushed, and began running again.
P.E. didn't end soon enough. I quickly showered and changed into my clothes and headed out to my Jeep to wait for Alice and Leah. Soon enough, I saw them bouncing into the parking lot with smiles on their faces. We headed off to Alice's first to drop the other girls' cars off. It was a nice day in Forks for once, so we decided to drive my Jeep with the top down. We headed to Port Angeles and pulled up to a salon called "Beau-zique." Judging by the name, I wasn't too excited. We walked inside and like a whirlwind I was greeted by the smell of hair dye and Pureology shampoo. Soon enough a well dressed and extremely attractive man came up and whisked me away to his station with Alice and Leah not far behind.
"What are we doing to your hair cutie?" He asked. Before I even got a chance to respond Alice began to give orders to the guy.
"Well we want to keep her length, she has beautiful long hair. Let's add some high lights and low lights to bring out her natural chestnut color, give her a soft swoop side-bang, and make it curly!" She giggled.
As soon as she finished her instructions, I was once again whisked away by the man. He started on washing my hair, and before I knew it, I had more tin foil in my hair to get HBO. He washed the color out, parted my hair to my left side and gave me bangs that were long enough that I could 'sweep' them off to the side and not worry about them constantly being in my eyes. He put some mousse and product in my hair and scrunched it up, giving it a naturally curly look.
"You are done my dear! Take a look and tell me what you think." I looked in the mirror and was shocked at what I saw. There were tones of gold and dark brown flittering through all of my hair. The bangs only brought more attention to my silver eyes, and I had to admit, I loved my hair curly. It fell down in waves to about the end of my bra. I walked over to the sitting area where Alice and Leah were waiting.
"Oh my god! Bella, you look like a total babe, and we're not even done with you yet!" Leah squealed.
"Maurice, can I get two of all the bottles you used in her hair along with the shampoo and conditioner please." Alice asked the man who cut my hair.
Next, we were guided back to a room with calm music that sounded like soft rainforest birds were singing. I was asked to change into a robe and lay on the table. My eyebrows and lips didn't hurt to wax, my legs didn't even hurt that bad. It wasn't until she started to do my nether regions that I started screaming.
"Good lord my vagina!" I yelled as the lady pulled another strip of hair off. The hair had to be ¼ and inch long to wax, and now I knew why. It hurt like fuck when it was long, I could only imagine what it would feel like with little hair. All of a sudden, I heard Leah and Alice burst into giggles outside of my door.
"Fuck you bitches! You come in here and do this and tell me it doesn't hurt!" That only fueled them more.
"Think of what Jake will think when he sees that Bells! Guys wayyy get off on that!" I heard Alice tell me. As perverted as that sounded, it kept me going. There was nothing I wanted more than for Jake to tie me up and use my body to his every desire, and that's saying a lot considering bondage is a major turn off for me, but for Jake, I'd do it. God, I needed to get laid bad, I was thinking about tying up Jake, good lord. I knew Alice and Leah had sex, they were goddesses. They made sure it was no one at school though, so rumors wouldn't fly. You could find some hot ass guys at the teenage clubs in Seattle and Port Angeles. Maybe that's what we would do tonight; we could go to a club. It would be dark enough that no one would be able to see my irritated red skin. I brightened up at the idea (and at the fact that the lady was almost done!)
Fifteen minutes of pure torture later, Leah and Alice came in. I had no shame in dressing in front of them. We were all comfortable with one another, so it wasn't a big deal.
"You look good Bella!" Alice looked at me.
"Ya B, you're not as red as I thought you'd be surprisingly." Well that was good at least.
"Let's go tanning!" Alice was jumping. We all always had a light tan going for us. Amongst all of the pale people in Forks, it was nice to stick out ever so slightly. Of course Leah had gorgeous dark skin because of her Native American genes, but a little tanning never hurt anyone!(AN: I don't know if you can tan after you wax, soo my bad if you can't! :P)
I paid for my hair and the wax and Alice paid for all the extra product and lotions she wanted for me. We all hopped in my Jeep and headed to "Sun Beach" tanning salon. I almost had to laugh at the name of the place as it popped in my head. Most of the time, the beaches weren't even sunny. I had to snort at that.
"What's so funny B?" Leah asked with a smirk on her face.
"Nothing." I smiled.
"We should go to the club tonight!" I looked at Alice.
"Are you sure Bella? You're skin isn't too irritated and red?" She asked.
"It is, but it'll be dark, so you won't be able to tell. Plus, I don't want to stay in tonight, I want to get out!"
"That's a great idea B! You can practice grinding with guys. Proms coming up soon. . ." Leah winked at me.
"Leah, proms not until April – it's August." We all giggled as I pulled up to the tanning salon. We got rooms close to one another and only stayed in the beds for twelve minutes; we didn't want to turn orange. Lauren and Jessica tanned until they looked like oompa loompas – it was hilarious! We hopped in my Jeep once again and headed to Alice's to shower and get ready.
Alice had enough bathrooms in her house that we could all shower at one time. We headed back to Alice's room to change. Luckily, we always kept at least one spare change of clothes at each other's houses. I changed into my underwear and strapless bra and headed to Alice's closet. I put on a pair of short denim shorts and a white tube top and came out of the closet. It was a club for teens, so no one got really dressed up there.
"Damn B, you look hot!" Leah looked over at me.
"You have huge tits!" Alice giggled at me.
"Ya, you can never tell in those baggy shirts of yours." Leah teased me. I just stuck my tongue out at the two of them. I looked down at my tongue.
"I need a new tongue ring guys. I want a black one." I stated. It was the one 'rebellious' thing I got when Em and I turned 18. I put in a bendable light-pink one so my parents wouldn't notice at first.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot you had a tongue ring." Leah teased me.
"A black one would be hot B. Jacob would definitely notice that!" Alice winked at me. I blushed at that.
"Jeez guys, I know I want the guy with every fiber in my being, but I don't want to come off as a total slut. I actually really like Jacob. I've spent a decent amount of time with him and the guys because of Em, and he's actually really smart and funny."
"And smokin'!" Alice teased me. I just smiled and rolled my eyes. We all spent the next two hours getting ready. Leah and Alice helped me curl my hair in big, soft curls. They showed me how to do a smoky eye. I could do basic make up; I just didn't ever do it. I put on some lip gloss and topped off my outfit with some black stilettos.
"Wow Bells, stilettos?" Alice asked me with a questioning glance.
"Hey, I have to learn to wear them eventually right?" The girls giggled at my antics. We headed out the door and hopped in my Jeep. It was an unusually warm day for Forks and I'm glad it continued on in the night. It was August, but the summer weather wasn't completely over. We climbed in and headed towards Port Angeles to a club called "Area 51." (AN: there's a real club here in Utah called that, so I borrowed the name :P)
I parked and we headed into the mini club. All eyes were on us as we walked in. I was used to seeing Alice and Leah get ogled at; it was nice to get some attention to myself for once. Alice was wearing a red halter dress that flowed to about mid-calf with silver stilettos and a tiffany necklace to compliment. Leah had on a pair of low-rise white wash jeans that had holes all over them, and a lacey shirt that ended above her navel with nothing but a black bra on underneath. She adorned her outfit with a pair of stilettos similar to my own and wore a pair of black hoop earrings. I put on a few black bangles and some hoops, nothing too fancy. To say that we looked good was an understatement.
We all strutted into the club. It felt oddly good to look over and see the lust-filled gazes of men and the scorning looks of women. I don't think anyone has ever looked at me like this, I felt pride swell within me. Maybe this makeover wasn't going to prove as difficult as I'd originally thought. I hadn't changed very much besides a haircut, wax, and some light make up; I still felt like the same old Bella, just new and improved. I was feeling really good about this. I heightened what I already had, nothing more. I wasn't going to become a fabricated doll; I was still going to be Bella, just a stronger and more intrepid version. I shook my head and smiled at my own self-revelation. I checked my 'coat' and purse in with the other girls, keeping only money in my breast.
We all linked arms and walked over to the 'bar' for under aged 'children' such as ourselves. I had to let a small chuckle slip as the drinks consisted of everything imaginable, just without alcohol. Not that I'm a heavy drinker myself, but what's the fun in a Kamikaze when it doesn't get you drunk? Oh well, we weren't here to drink, we were here to mingle.
"Come on girls! I'm ready to mingle." I winked to no one in particular. They both laughed at my antics and we headed to the dance floor. Being a soccer player, I didn't have the best dance moves. I was designed to kick, not grind. But I assumed digging your rear-end into some hormonal and overly excited teenager couldn't prove to be all that arduous.
As we all held hands and walked out onto the floor, the song "Burn" by Papa Roach could be heard blasting through the speakers all around the club.
"What an odd song to dance to. . ." I thought to myself. I turned over to look at Alice and see them both rocking from side to side and moving their hands down their body. How one could move so slowly while whipping their hands over their body, I'll never know. Even I was hypnotized by the dance movements of the two girls in front of me. They weren't purposely trying to gather attention; the way their bodies moved wasn't slutty, but more provocative and sensuous. I could only stare along with the onlookers.
"Come on Bells! Just move your body from side to side, swing yours hips, and move down." Alice yelled over the music. I had to laugh at that.
"Easier said than done!" I yelled back. I was starting to regret wearing such high heels. I should've gone for some flats. Oh well, too late now.
"Here, we'll show you!" Alice came behind me and grabbed my hips while Leah stood in front and off to the right side of me. Alice slowly ground into me and used her hands to move my hips in sync with hers. I have to admit, it was a little unnerving at first. Alice was my best friend, but it was still a little uncomfortable. I blushed and pushed the thoughts away.
"Come on Bella, you want to be with Jake right? Well there's no better way to turn a man on than dancing for or on him!" Leah laughed. I took what she said into consideration. Homecoming was only two months away, and I was determined for Jake to be mine by then.
I slipped away from my thoughts and concentrated on Alice's and Leah's movements. I stuck my arms out and rested them on Leah's shoulders and ground my behind into Alice. It proved to be a lot more difficult due to the contraptions on my feet that were now killing me. I looked up from my feet to see a tall man heading towards me. I couldn't tell who he was until he got close; it was Paul.
"Here, let me help with that." He smirked. I guess he was referring to my current predicament of my feet killing me, although I don't know what he could do about it. Before I could question him, I felt him pull me away from my girls and looked to see the smirks they supplied on their faces as well.
Paul pulled my backside flush against him, lifted my arms around his neck and slid his arms down the sides of my body until they rested on my lower hips. Now Paul wasn't as muscular as Jake, I'd seen him shirtless due to the fact that he was a soccer player as well, but he was still built. He was the 'bad boy' of Em's group; the womanizer. He was gorgeous though, so what's the harm in one little dance?
Just as I started to grind my hips into Paul, Nelly's "Move That Body" started to play. It was my turn to smirk; a better song couldn't have come on. I body rolled and started twisting my head. I looked over to Alice and Leah bouncing on the floor with their legs spread open. I decided to hell with it; why not make a fool of myself. I slowly slid down Paul and once I reached the floor and started bouncing, opening and closing my legs in the process. On my way back up, I ground my ass into Paul; up his shins, past knees, up to his crotch. I stopped and wiggled my ass. I turned to see his lust filled gaze. I turned to face his as we continued to grind into each other.
"And what do I call you little vixen?" He whispered as softly as he could since music was blaring through the speakers.
"You really don't know who I am Paul?" I smirked and slithered down his body and threw my head back as I came up. I rocked my hips and pumped my chest in and out. I brought my arms up and ran my hands through my hair. Paul suddenly stopped dancing.
"Holy shit. . . Bella?" He asked hesitantly.
"Hi." I whispered as softly as one could with the music playing.
"Damn girl, you clean up nice." He said as he ran his nose up the side of my neck. I laughed and ran my fingers down his chest.
"You too." I winked. We continued to grind against each other.
"And what would Emmett say if he saw you here?" He teased.
"I think the better question is what he would do if he saw the way you're on me." I giggled and ran my hand up his neck and grazed my fingers in his hair.
"Should I back off?" He smiled.
"Do you really want to?" I asked as I slid down him once again.
"No."
"Didn't think so." I smirked. For some reason, I wasn't uncomfortable dancing like this with Paul. He was the one I was closest to, besides Jake, out of all of Em's friends. He was a major player, but he was also fun loving and kind. And that's exactly what we were doing, having fun; nothing serious, nothing to worry over, just dancing and having fun. I looked over at the bar and saw Alice and Leah sipping on some drinks in their hands.
"Unfortunately for you, I have to go." I smiled and pulled away from Paul. He pulled me back to him and kissed me lightly on the lips. I smiled and pulled his bottom lip in my mouth and nibbled on it. I smirked once again, and walked to the bar.
"What the hell was that Bella?" Leah laughed at me.
"What?" I giggled.
"Oh don't play innocent with me!" She laughed.
"What about Jacob?" Alice poked me in my side playfully.
"Nothing has changed." I smirked. "It won't happen again I'm sure, just one of those 'heat of the moment' things that happen. I still only have eyes for Jacob."
"Jeeez girl. Wait till Jake hears about this! He is going to be SO jealous." Leah whistled.
"God I hope so!" I laughed.
"Looks like you might get your wish B, look up." Alice pointed to the level above us that contained couches and a private room for those 21 and older in the corner. Paul was standing with Embry looking over the railing directly down at us. I smirked up at Paul and turned back to the girls.
"Oh, Embry's got a mouth, Jake will find out whether you want him to or not now!" Leah laughed.
"Come on ladies, let's go." I smiled as I sipped the last of my drink.
"Way to make an exit B." Leah winked at me.
"I'm just having some fun." I blushed.
We grabbed our coats and purses and headed towards the exit. Before we walked out, I turned and winked at Paul and I saw him smirk in return.
We climbed into my Jeep and turned on the heat. It was a little chilly at . . . 2 am! Holy crap, I didn't notice it was that late!
"Did you guys have fun?" I asked. They laughed in return.
"Not as much fun as you did." Leah winked at me. I had to blush.
"Paul is definitely hot as hell, but nowhere near Jacob. He's a good dancer though, and fun to be around." I told them.
"We know, we're just teasing you." Alice laughed.
"I'm so proud of you tonight B! Not in a million years would I have imagined you droppin' it low!" Alice giggled.
"Ya, especially with Paul!" Leah giggled. I had to laugh at that too.
"It won't ever happen again, but it was fun while it lasted." I smiled as we pulled up to Alice's house. Alice opened the door and we climbed up the east wing stairs to get to her room. Alice's mom had a wing dedicated to herself and her art. She needed 'privacy' and 'space' in order to 'effectively' work. I had to roll my eyes as that thought popped into my head. We all piled in Alice's bathroom and washed our makeup off, brushed our teeth, and got ready for bed.
"Just you wait till tomorrow Bella, we're going shopping!" Alice squealed from her side of the bed. Her bed was big enough to pile a small army on, so we all fit comfortably on it. I tiredly laughed at her.
Morning came sooner than any of us expected, although I'm not sure you could call one pm morning. I got up and made my way to the kitchen to cook us all breakfast while Alice and Leah got ready. I cracked some eggs and mixed them, preparing to put them on the stove to scramble. I pulled out some hash browns and stuck them in the oven. I cut open a package of turkey sausage and put it in the microwave to cook. About fifteen minutes later, Alice and Leah came down the stairs and grabbed some food. We ate in silence, simply enjoying each other's company.
"Bella, go take a shower and we'll be up in a minute. We'll clean this up for you." Alice told me.
I did as I was told and trudged upstairs and hopped in the shower. I lathered my hair and stood under the spray until the water turned cold. I hopped out and brushed my teeth. I put on some undergarments and slipped my pjs back on. Alice and Leah were waiting for me at the vanity when I emerged.
"Come sit." Alice smiled. I did as I was told and listened while Alice when through a list of products that she put in my hair to make it curly. She showed me how and what to use for different hair styles. She pulled out some simple browns and a shade of gold for me to apply to my eyes. I complied and soon enough I applied my mascara; the finishing touch. I stood up and dressed in some low-rise dark wash jeans with a brown razorback and a white flowing razor back to match. I slipped on a decorative pair of Alice's sandals and waited for her and Leah to finish getting themselves ready. We took Leah's truck this time, there's more room for shopping bags Alice had told us earlier. We pulled up to the mall and parked close to the front doors.
We walked into Victoria's Secret first; Alice's favorite. The girls went in search of night gowns and sexy outfits while I searched for underwear. I pulled everything from cotton to lace, boy shorts to thongs and put them in my small hand basket. Alice and Leah picked out a variety of bras and sexy nighties and matching lace sets for me to wear. I don't know what they planned on, I liked Jake, but I wasn't going to just give it up to him quickly. Alice started throwing massive amounts of lip gloss, lotions, and perfumes into the already ¾ full shopping bag, while Leah picked out some sweaters, pants, and a few cute lazing around shirts. We paid then headed further into the mall.
By the end of the day, we had gone into at least fifteen, if not more stores ranging from AE to Journeys. I had gotten multiple pairs of new tennis shoes, boots, heels, you name it. I got tons of new jeans, shorts, capris, skirts, shirts, tanks, and more. We stopped by Nordstrom's and got myself a whole new selection of makeup. Bare Minerals has any and every shade of eye shadow I could've wanted. I picked up a few new perfumes for myself and we headed to Alice's house once again. Tomorrow we would put all of my outfits together and decided what I would wear. We repeated the same routine as the night before and snuggled into Alice's bed.
The next morning we decided to go out and eat at Sue's diner. I woke up with a text from Emmett asking if I was all right and telling me he missed me. I smiled at what a good brother he is. I sent him a text telling him I loved him as well and I'd see him that later that day. As for getting ready, I had showered and just blow-dried my hair, letting my natural waves fall down my back. I put on a new pair of jean capris along with a black tank and a cute loose fitting tunic on top. I put on a new bejeweled brown belt I got, some decorative sandals and we headed out. I didn't wear any makeup besides mascara and lip gloss today.
We drove my Jeep and pulled up to Sue's. She had the best food in town. She and Emily ran a small diner here in Forks, and the food was to die for. We sat down and ordered orange juice and water as we waited for our food to come.
"What are you gonna wear tomorrow B?" Leah asked.
"Huh, I hadn't thought about it yet? Any suggestions?" I asked.
"You should wear that outfit we got from Forever 21! It's supposed to be another nice day tomorrow." She giggled at me excitedly.
"The one with the white shorts?" Leah asked.
"Mmhmm!" Alice bobbed her head up and down.
"That would be perfect!" Leah smiled.
"All right, it's settled – I'll wear that tomorrow." I smiled as well.
We ate our food and headed back to Alice's. We spent the rest of the afternoon picking out what clothes would go good together, along with lotions, makeup, hairstyles, and perfumes. By six, I was beat. I piled everything into the back of my Jeep and told Leah I'd take her home. We both hugged Alice and I promised I'd meet her before school along with Leah so they could asses my outfit before school tomorrow.
Leah and I didn't talk on the way to her house in La Push, minus a few lines of singing along with the radio. I pulled into her driveway and got out of the car to hug her.
"Thank you so much for everything this weekend Lee. I don't know what I'd do without you and Alice." I said as I hugged her tightly.
"You would die." Leah half smirked, half smiled at me. If only she knew how true that statement was. I laughed and helped her grab her things out of the backseat and take it into her house.
"Oh Bella, you look cute!" Sue said as I entered the door with Leah. I blushed at her response.
"Thank you." I smiled. I dropped Leah's stuff off in her room and headed back to my car to head home. When I finally arrived at my house, it was already eight. I loaded as many bags as I could and walked into the door.
"Bella!" Emmett ran over and hugged me as I came through the door.
"Hey Em." I smiled and hugged back.
"Will you do me a favor and grab the rest of my bags for me please?" I asked as I batted my eye lashes. He laughed.
"Sure Bells." He jogged out to my Jeep.
"Hi sweetheart." My mom smiled at me.
"Come talk to me once you get settled." She said.
"Okay." I smiled back.
I walked up to the second story and set my things on my bed. I started putting my clothes away as Emmett put the rest of my bags down.
"Dang Bells, could you have gotten any more stuff?" He joked with me. I smiled at his antics.
"Careful or I'll take you with me next time." I joked back. He pretended to have a horrified look on his face.
"That's just mean Bella!" He faked hurt. I smiled at him. God I loved him, he was my everything. Without my Emmett, I would be incomplete.
"You look really pretty by the way." He said bashfully as he shuffled his feet on the floor.
"Aww, thanks Em. You're really pretty too." I giggled and hugged him. He smiled at me.
"I'm being serious bumble bee, you look pretty." He smiled into my eyes as I hugged him. I blushed and smiled at the sound of the familiar nickname that only he called me.
"Thanks Emmy." I laughed as he grimaced at the nickname.
"I'll be in my room playing video games, come say goodnight when you're done." He hugged me one last time and walked down the hall to his room.
It only took my about an hour to clear my shelves to make room for my lotions and perfumes. I set my make up on my small vanity and hung up all of my clothes in my closet. I washed up, put on my pajamas and headed down stairs to talk to my mom.
"Hi sweetheart. Did you have a good weekend?" My mom hugged me as I sat down next to her.
"It was great." I smiled at her.
"I saw how pretty you looked earlier." I blushed at her comment.
"Not that you need a reason, but why exactly did you all of a sudden plan a shopping trip with the girls?" She asked.
"There is a reason." I smiled.
"Would that reason happen to be a boy?" She nudged me and smiled back. I blushed again.
"He's not the only reason. I wanted more confidence in my looks and attitude. I want to feel as pretty as you say I am." I smiled.
"Well good sweetheart, I'm glad you're welcoming the beautiful, confident woman I know you are." She kissed my head.
"Who might this boy be?" She smiled. I just gave her a big toothy grin.
"Would it happen to be a certain Quileute boy who goes by the name of Jacob Black?" She teased. I was shocked.
"How did you. . ." I asked.
"I'm a mom sweetheart. It's my job to notice when my daughter likes a boy. But with you, it's not that hard to see, you should close your mouth when he takes his shirt off and gets in the pool." She winked at me.
"Oh jeez!" I turned beet red.
"Just be careful sweetheart." She hugged me again before I headed upstairs. I walked into Emmett's room to find that he was already sound asleep in his bed. I pulled down his covers and snuggled in bed next to him. When Emmett's friends weren't over, we usually shared a bed together; we both slept better that way. I sighed as I rested by head on Emmett's arm. I drifted into a peaceful sleep within a matter of seconds.
"Belllaaa. . . Bellaaa." I heard someone lightly shaking me.
"Ugh, go away." I groaned.
"You'd think that since we've been in high school for four years now that you would be used to getting up at seven." I heard Emmett laugh at me.
I just stuck my tongue out and spit on him. He laughed as I groaned and rolled off the bed. I headed back to my room to shower and get ready; I needed more time after all. I stood under the water until it turned cold once again and wrapped myself in a towel. I brushed my teeth, cleaned my ears, and headed out to sit at my vanity and start my makeup. I put on a light amount of cover up and bronzer on my cheeks. I applied the shimmery silver eye shadow Alice had picked out to go with today's outfit. I applied black liner to the top lid only and put on some mascara. I then brushed and blow dried my hair. I used the thick barreled iron and my hair fell in thick, soft waves, down my back.
I stood up and put on a lacey white thong (I was wearing white shorts after all) and a black lacey bra with a white bow in the middle. I put lotion all over my body. I sprayed myself with perfume on my ankles, wrists, neck, and hair. I pulled on my white short shorts, darker pink tank top and a dark brown, almost black thin-strapped, sequined tank that flowed in the middle and tightened around my waist. I put on some hot pink vans and my grey and light red jacket with a light brown hat that had a white stripe going through the middle. (AN: look up Vanessa Hudgens music video "Sneaker Night", she has on Bella's outfit!) I put on some lip gloss in the mirror and assessed the final outcome.
I looked good, damn good. I squealed, picked up my things and headed to school to meet Alice and Leah. Emmett had already left for school by the time I got down stairs. My mom looked up at me as I came down.
"Bella, you look gorgeous." She smiled at me.
"Thanks mom." I kissed her cheek, grabbed a pop tart, and headed out the door.
"Have a good day!" I heard her yell as I shut the door. I put my stuff in my Jeep and headed to school. I was nervous beyond belief. I was so excited to see Jake's expression when I walked into that cafeteria! I pulled up and parked next to Sarah, a teammate of mine. I hopped out, grabbed my things, and locked my car. I found Alice and Leah waiting for me outside by the entrance.
"Oh my god!" Alice squealed and pointed to me as I came up.
"Holy shit Bella, you look hot!" Leah told me.
"Look whose talkin'!" I smirked at her. Leah had on a denim skirt with a sleeveless black shirt that flowed almost as long as her skirt and some white sandals. Alice wore a pair of dark wash skinny jeans, black heels that came a little above her ankles, and a navy shirt that bunched up at the waste with a sleeveless black cardigan over.
"You guys look so pretty!" I smiled.
"We might look pretty B, but damn girl. I can't wait to see Jacob's expression." Leah squealed. I blushed and laughed and they drug me inside the school doors to the cafeteria.
We opened the doors and stopped as they slammed shut behind us. Everyone looked up and there were confused expressions on their faces. Forks hadn't gotten a new transfer student – had they?
"BELLA!" Emmett screeched from the other side of the cafeteria. As cliché as it was, rapid intakes of breath could be heard all around the cafeteria. Whispered and rapid conversations started while some people just stared in shock.
"No fucking way." Lauren murmured from Emmett's table.
The last thing I saw before Emmett came up and tried to cover me up was Jacob's coal black eyes staring into mine as he licked his lips.
"Hell yes." I thought and smirked to myself.
-Soooo? What'd ya think? Good – Bad? Sorry for all the randomness of it! I just didn't want to stop until you all got to see Jakes expression! ;D You'll just have to wait until next time to see what he does about Bella's new appearance and see what happens when Embry opens his big mouth about her and Paul dancing! ;D Review if you like; I love to hear what you all have to say
