I want to thank Twilightobsessedmuch, MissWicca, Kammi93, KarinAC2193, and all of the people I mentioned in chapter two. And apparently, if I meet any of you guys I will have to have some cookies on standby. :)
As I prepared myself for what I was sure would be an unpleasant reunion, I remembered that I wasn't small, geeky, scared Bella. I was cool, confident Bella and I was going to play the part.
I rounded the corner and was prmptly met by four shocked faces and Emmett.
" Who is that?", the beautiful blonde girl asked.
" Hi, I'm Alice.", a small pixie like girl said. She had short, black hair that was flipped out. Emmett took over the introductions from here.
" This is my girlfriend Rosalie." He walked over to the blonde girl and put his arm around her. " And this is her older brother Jasper. And the pixie girl is Alice, his girlfriend. That guy over there is Edward.", he said pointing to a guy with untidy bronze hair. " Peoples this is my sister Bella." I judged their reactions. Edward was the most shocked, I think. His mouth had dropped open and he was still staring intently at me. The brat in me took over before I could stop it.
" You know, if you take a picture it will last longer. And I don't know if we have flies or not, but if we do, you're going to catch some." The words weren't that mean, but the tone in which I delivered them was.
" I wasn't staring at you!", he denied. His voice was velvety. It was unlike anything that I had ever heard. I mentally slapped myself. I hated him more than ever now that he could make me think these things only minutes after meeting him again. I wasn't supposed to feel like this. I decided right there that I would be meaner than necessary to him.
" Sure, whatever you say.", I quickly agreed and averted my eyes. We stood in awkward silence for what seemed like ever. Emmett broke the quiet.
" So do you guys want to play video games?"
" Yeah, sure.", were the guys' answers. We girls politely declined. We went into the family room and sat down. We began discussing nails and hair and other girly things.
" Bella," Rosalie interrupted Alice," I want to apologize for what happened before you left. I was immature and I just went with the crowd. That really isn't an excuse, but it's true. So, I'm sorry." Wow didn't even began to explain what I was feeling at this point. I could never really recall Rosalie being nice to anyone before. And I didn't really have anything to hold against her now , so I decided to forgive her.
" It's okay. I've thought about it and you didn't really do anything that bad. All of the really, really bad stuff was Edward."
" He'll be apologizing too.", she assured me. " Emmett's talked to him about it." Alice snorted.
" Talked to him? He basically threatened to beat the crap out of him. And I want to say that I'm really sorry for never standing up for you." Two apologies in one day. It had to be a personal record or something.
" It's okay." Wow, Bella couldn't you come up with anything more assuring than that?, I thought.
" So do you want to go shopping tomorrow?", Alice asked, her face brightening considerably. ( Leave it to Alice to bring up shopping)
" Yeah. I need some new clothes and furniture for my room."
" Excellent!" Rosalie had an evil smile on her face. " We can make the guys go now."
" Do you think that we should go tell them not to make plans for tomorrow?", I asked.
" Probably.", Alice replied. We walked into the game room, where the guys were watching the t.v. screen like their lives' depended on it. Rosalie reached behind the t.v. and pulled the plug.
" Hey!", they exclaimed.
" We got your attention though, didn't we?", I asked.
" Yeah, you got it, now what do you want?", Edward's tone was cold and biting.
" Hey, that's my sister you're talking to. Watch the tone, why don't you? And speaking of my sister don't you have something to say to her?" I felt proud of Emmett in that moment. Even though I left him, he still acted like my overprotective big brother that he was.
Edward rolled his eyes. " I'm sorry that you were so geeky and ugly." It was like my arm thought before I did. Before I knew what was happening, I had punched him. Two guys in one week, another record.
The look on Edward's face was priceless. I guess that not many girls had ever done that before.
" You know, I was gonna do that but Bells beat me to it." Emmett laughed. " I always knew that we were related." Edward was holding his face at this point and looking utterly shocked. But hey, what can I say? He deserved it.
" We're going shopping tomorrow and you guys are coming, so no complaints.", Rosalie informed them. All three guys faces soured at this point.
" We better get going. Mom will probably be freaking out as it is." We said our goodbye's and they left.
" So, when is dad going to be home?", I asked Emmett.
" Probably about two thirty in the morning. So, most likely you won't see him until in the morning."
" Okay, do you want to watch a movie?"
" Sure. What about Transformers?"
" Sounds fine to me." We watched Transformers. After it went off we decided to go to bed. We went upstairs and Emmett stopped me.
" I'm just down the hall if you need me."
" Okay. Goodnight."
" Goodnight." I changed into my white pajama set that had blue flowers on them.( Can be found at )
Tomorrow I would no doubt spend hours shopping, I needed all the rest I could get. This was my last conscious thought.
I just wanted to let everyone know that after all the snow lets up and my school starts back, that I will probably only be able to update every other day. Once again, Please review!! :)
