Growing Up
Growing up, it won't bring us down.
Were in this together,
Yeah, we'll make it somehow,
Nothings gonna stop us now...
Growing up wont bring us down
Growing Up - The Maine
As soon as Alice parked her Yellow Porsche next to my dumpy truck, we both got out and walked over to our usual waiting spot outside in the mornings. It was around the corner of the school, the side of the school facing the woods. The whole gang knew this spot, and we all usually meet up here in the mornings.
Five minutes later, Jasper and Rosalie show up together. Jazz and Rose are brother and sister, but Rose is a year older than Me, Alice, and Jazz. Emmett soons shows and leans in to give Rose a chaste kiss. Emmett and Rose, and Jazz and Alice are together.
Me and Edward are the two that got clumped together in our awkward puberty stage, at the tender age of 14, when they all got together. At first, it was disturbing, because Rose and Emmett would make-out for minutes straight, and it would just be awkward and quiet. Ali and Jazz had their own little bubble that it felt wrong to even look, because it made you have that feeling that you were intruding on their conversation.
* flashback *
"Hey Bella, friends forever, right?" Edward asked me. We were in the skating park, with Jazzy and Emmy sitting down watching them do flips and tricks, while Rose and Ali were getting ice cream from the truck.
"Sure, Edward, why not? I mean, we've always had that pact since we were 5, remember?" I replied.
"I know, but that was when we were 5, we're 14, now Bell. We need to do some growing up, but promise me you'll always be my best friend through it all?" he asked.
"We were 6, you should know that. I promise. Promise me we'll always talk each day, no matter what?" I asked. Edward kept silent for a while, but before we left, he spoke.
"Yes, Bell, I promise. No matter what." he mumbled quickly and ran to his mom's car while I stood there watching, wondering what the heck he was talking about, until it clicked and I remembered again.
The promises.
* flashback *
Speaking of Edward, ten minutes go by, and he still isn't at school yet. I start to get worried, until Ali speaks up and says that she sees him pulling into his usual parking space. I let out a relieved sigh, happy that there isn't anything wrong.
Edward walks over, and halfway through his walk, Tanya Denali, ugh, hangs herself all over him. Usually, he'd push her off lightly, glare, and tell her not to invade his personal space, but now, he just stops and lets her hang on him. I felt a twinge of hurt stab my chest minutely. What shocked everyone was that they started making out. I mean, full out tounging, smack dab in the middle of the parking lot. Poor Eric Yorkie passing by gets an eyeful and I see him try to walk faster past them across the lot. It's just disgusting.
"Eugh, doesn't she have VD?" Em asked. I just cracked up. That was new, although not for Emmett, but about Denali.
"Em, honey, that's a rumour. Everyone knows that she has Herpes, it's like literally right. There. Everytime I see her," Rose responded trying to pinpoint where exactly the herpes are on Denali's face. Me and Alice start crying, oh lord, was that funny.
"Guys, I think we should leave them here. I mean, I think ten fucking minutes have already passed, and they still haven't moved. This is disgusting. Edward is disgusting, can we just leave him?" Alice suggests. I nod and walk to the school entrance with Alice. Em and Rose trail behind, still trying to sneak peeks at those snog hogs over in the lot.
*~sparkle-spasm-sparkle~*
I haven't talked to Edward yet. And I'm kind of hurt that he hasn't tried speaking to me, yet either. Tanya's been trailing him all morning, and I'm starting to dread the lunch hour. That girl and her skank-clan have some creepy little fan-club for Edward, and it's just crazy. I heard some rumour that Ashley, one of the skankettes, has a picture of him with her faces taped next to his in her locker. Another skankette, has a lock of his hair in her locket. I feel like they're going to make a male blow-up doll of him and all masturbate with it, because they're always moaning his name in the girls bathroom stalls. I don't think they realize that every girl in the school can hear them when they use the bathroom. It's disgusting.
The lunch bell rings, and I slowly make my way over the my locker to shove my shit into it, and stroll over to Ali's to walk with her to lunch. As soon as we sit down with our trays, me next to Ali, Ali next to Jazz, and Em and Rose next to each other, we all give each other knowing looks as to our new plan.
Rose speaks first. "I don't like her. We need to dispose of this bitch. Any ideas?"
"Ooh! Ooh! Pick me, Rosie, pick me!" Em bellows while raising him hand and fidgeting around like a 5 year old.
"Yes, Jasper?" Emmett frowns and quiets down as Jasper starts to speak.
"I propose that we all should..." and the rest of the plan is made before the end of lunch.
Leave a short review predicting what the plan will be. ;)
