Why Me?

Chapter 2

Since I got more review then I thought I would, I'm going to do a chapter early! Read and enjoy!

I woke up and looked around, startled for a second. I shook my head and laughed quietly to myself. I forgot that I had fallen asleep in Alice's room last night. I looked over and saw that she was still sound asleep. I stretched and yawned, and went downstairs. I saw Esme at the stove cooking breakfast.

"Good morning, Bella. You look tired." I laughed again and nodded. Alice and I had stayed up for most of the night gossiping.

"Yeah. Alice can never shut up. What's for breakfast?"

"Pancakes and eggs."

I sat down at the table and put my head down on my arms. I was starting to doze, when I felt something really cold go down my back. I jumped up and whirled behind me to see Edward holding some ice. He had a satisfied grin on his face, and the chase was on.

I chased him up the stairs, where he ran into his room and I was right behind him. He side-stepped me right before I was about to tackle him, and I landed on his bed. I gave him the best evil look I could muster. Then he was sitting on me, with my hands pinned above my head.

"Don't you do it, Edward Cullen!"

Then, he started to tickle me. I started laughing and screaming at him to stop and tried to wriggle away. He finally stopped when I started crying from laughing so hard. He gave me that satisfied smirk again and I smacked him upside the head.

"Oh, ow. That really hurt, Bella." He smiled again.

I just rolled my eyes and went back downstairs. Esme was serving the food, so I sat down and eyed the food. I was starving, since I didn't eat much of the ravioli last night. I dug in once she set it in front of me.

"Jeez, Bella! Why don't you save some of that for the others?"

I stuck my tongue out at Edward and kept eating. Once I was finished I leaned back with a sigh. My eyes had been bigger than my stomach, and I was full.

"I'm glad you didn't end up eating the table, too." I threw a piece of my left over pancake at Edward and went back upstairs to grab my bag.

"Breakfast was delicious, Esme. Thank you. I'm going to run home and practice dancing."

"It was nice to see you again, Bella," Esme smiled and hugged me, "Are we still on to go to the park later today?"

This time it was my turn to smile. We were going back to the park where the Cullen's and I had grown up. I nodded and started the walk to my house. I figured that would be a good enough warm up, besides stretching, before I danced.

"Wow. The park looks the same as it used to," Jasper said. I smiled and nodded, in agreement.

I looked over at Esme. She really knew how to dress up. She had on a white and blue striped shirt with white dress pants, and blue boat shoes. The white bag really helped out her outfit. Alice came over to me with a frown on her face. I knew what was about to come.

"Bella, why are you wearing that outfit to the park?"

I looked down at my outfit. I didn't really see anything wrong with it. I was wearing gray yoga pants with a purple tank top.

"Oh, you just don't understand!"

She grabbed my arm and dragged me into the nearest restroom. She ran out to her car real quick, and came back with a huge bag.

"Alice, no! I don't need to dress up for a day at the park!" She snorted.

"Yes you do, especially since Tanya will be joining us."

I rolled my eyes. I don't know what it is with Alice always making me dress up when Tanya's going to be around. Why should I dress up for her? I looked at the outfit Alice had tossed to me and rolled my eyes. I put on the white long-sleeved shirt and peach flowery skirt. I refused to put on the ridiculous peach pumps, and kept my chucks on.

When I walked out Alice smiled until she looked down and saw the chucks.

"Bella, I gave you those pumps for a reason." I gave her a confused look.

"To use as a boomerang?"

I walked out of the bathroom and smiled as I heard Alice mutter under her breath.

"Wait, Bella! I forgot to give you the headband!"

I groaned and Alice raced over to me. She pulled out a headband that looked like it had metal leaves on it. She moved my hair back and put it on my head. I had to admit, I looked pretty good.

I joined the others and heard they were talking about the time that Emmett broke his arm trying to jump off of a slide. I laughed as I remembered that he had asked for a blue cast, and had somehow ended up with a pink one.

We were all really starting to enjoy ourselves and then I saw Tanya get out of the car. Oh, joy. My day was about to get worse.
