My third chapter for I Love My Own Rival ... -^_^-
Chapter 3 :
My whole day flowed very fast.
"Hi mom," I greeted my mother and kissed her on the cheek
"— hi mom!" Alice's voice was always high—soprano
"— hi mom!" Rosalie followed
"Hi my angels, how's school" My mom Esme was cooking dinner now, reminding me of tonight's agenda.
"Mom, I'll just go upstairs to change and to take a short shower and if possible a nap" My voice very tired
"Oh, okay just go down on at—"she looked at her watch,"—7:00 or 7:30 pm"
"Okay mom"
I hurried upstairs and go to my room. I crashed my backpack on my bed and checked my clock. It's already 6:00 pm; I still have on hour so I go to my bathroom for a quick shower. After I wear my dark blue t-shirt and pajamas and lay on my bed. My hands search for my music player's remote. When I found it I played, Debussy. This song's always calms me. Minutes later my pixie little sister came dashing from the door.
"Edward!!!!" she shouted cheerfully and sat on the side of my bed.
"What?"
"Nothing just came here"
"To what? To disturb?"
He nudged me playfully, "Come on! Actually...yeah" she grinned
"Ha-Ha" I snorted
"Why, don't you have any girlfriends?" she asked conversationally
I shrugged, that bothers me also, why don't I have girlfriend?
She folded her short pale legs on my bed, "Please?"
"Please what?"
"Tell me why"
"I don't know"
She sighed but I don't think she'll give up. Her face brightened.
"Maybe you're waiting for Bella..."
My eyes widened, "Of course not!"
"No?" she paused to think drumming her fingers on her chin and humming, "Tanya?"
Tanya was our family friend also. She was very beautiful. She has a long strawberry-blonde hair, icy blue eyes, creamy skin, and pink heart shaped lips. Almost perfect.
"What about Tanya?" as if I don't know anything.
"You know—everyone knows that she like you—badly— since we're kids"
"She does?"
"Don't tell me you didn't know that?" she said helplessly
I shook my head, "No"
"You're so numb!" she cupped her head with her hands and placed her arm on her leg
"You" I nod my face towards her
"What me?"
I sat up with crossed legs and stared at her, "Jasper..." I said in a teasing voice
She blushed deeply, her faced now looked like a tomato! I laughed very loud that make me hang my head back to my pillows. Then she hit me in the face with another pillow.
"You're always doing that to me! You're so very, very mean!" she screamed as she hit me a pillow
"Oh—I'm mean!" I threw her every pillow I had. I'm stronger than her so I won now she was covered with pillows. We laughed together and have a pillow fight but that was cut when my mom called us.
"Kids dinner's ready and the Swans are coming in a minute—"she gasped when she saw Alice's condition, her hair was out of place and there are feathers stuck there. Haha! I used my feather pillow on her" –Alice! What happened to you?!" my mom approach us. Alice pointed at me.
I played innocent, "Why me?!" my mom glared at me, "Mom, we're just playing..."
She cleaned out Alice's hair, "Stop it okay? You're a lot bigger than your sister!" she lectured me then turned to Alice, "You arrange yourself, okay?" before she got out of the room she slapped my leg like to catch my attention, "Help your sister"
Alice stuck out her little tongue at me. I pulled her head and messed with it more. "Go to the washroom and wash it. You look like chicken—no a baby chick!"
"Shut up!" then she hurried to go to the bathroom and screamed very loud. I laughed again; suddenly she came from my bathroom and threw her fist at my arm.
"What?!"
"Look at what you did to me!" she pointed at her hair.
I laughed more and she just became more furious and darted again to the bathroom.
"Faster! Jasper's downstairs!" I acted as if it's true and it's like just seconds she got out from my bathroom—her hair already neat.
"Wow, just seconds!"
"Is he already there?" she asked then looked outside my door.
I laughed again very, very loud that made me rolled over my bed.
She dashed to me and punched me again, "You tricked me!! You tricked me!! You tricked me!"
I can't breathe from my laughter! I grabbed her hand, "Come on!!!" I pulled her downstairs
"Mom!" she screamed form the top of her lungs as she go down the stairs and ran towards mom, she paused when she spotted Jasper, Bella and Emmett on the couch looking at her, curiously. Seconds later Emmett laughed out very loud. Bella and Jasper snickered too. Alice is now very, very red because of embarrassment! She continued running down to mom not bothering to look at them!
"Hey bro!" Emmett greeted me as I continue going down the stairs, still laughing
"Hey!" Jasper greeted me also, we both exchange our brotherhood sign, then seated beside them.
Emmett faced me, "What happened to her?"
I laughed again, "Please don't remind it! —It's so hilarious!"
Jasper punched my shoulder playfully, then joined me in laughing and then my eyes, unintentionally looked at her.
She was just silent, sitting at the other couch and just looking at the some hollow space. And I notice on how she dressed. She was wearing a flat shoes—which I see her wear for the first time. A deep-blue shirt and black walking shorts—which is a bit short. It shows much skin. Wow she looked like a girl. Then I noticed her hair—she was wearing headband studded with blue—I don't know what was it called, but it sparkles. Then my mom came out from the kitchen.
"Kids, stop it. Come dinner's ready" she smiled at us warmly. That's what I like most to my mother.
"O—k!" Emmett roared, and Rosalie came down wearing pink satin sleeveless blouse and black walking shorts. Em stared at her intently, slowly smile come from his face. Rose just giggled then got straight to the kitchen.
"Sure she looks like a living goddess..." he said almost absentmindedly to himself. Me, she and Jasper laughed behind him.
Then I faced him seriously, "Hey, that's my sister"
"Oh—I know..."
"And I know that my sister really looks like a goddess" if Bella's smart she'll know who was I referring to. She glared at me and rolled her eyes. Why was she always like that? I think maybe because of the fact that we really hate each other.
"Hey, our sister—"Jasper wrapped his right arm to Bella, "— looks like a goddess also"
"Really?" Em walked towards her and examined her face. Bella playfully pushed him away
"Yeah! If she'll just change the way she dressed and act... look at her now"
"What do you mean?" Bella finally spoke looking up at Jasper.
"It—" Jasper was cutted by Emmett
"It means that you should change your boyish appearance and actions. Have some manners"
"Well I have manne—" Emmett covered her mouth
"No you don't—" he also wrapped his arm on around her but his arms were on her waist, "—enough talking. I'm hungry" then they walked.
Well Bella is –God, I have to admit that she's very beautiful. Well because if she's not—she won't be one of the Juniors' heartthrob... I sighed and followed them

"Wear decent clothes!" Em and Jazzy shouted infront of me as they eyed what I wear.
What do you mean of decent? "What's—wrong—about—this!"
They looked scared, "Calm, down. Calm, down" Em patted my arm my hand baled into fists
"W-we a-are s-saying t-that, you should not wear jeans and loose shirt—like it's from Emmett—" Emmett glared at him"—and y-you should not wear rubber shoes, all the time. And also look at your sweater—" he said pointing at my coat
"It's not a sweater, it's a coat" I corrected him, still mad
"Y-yeah right... You should wear at least one skirt or like wear dresses—"
"Yeah dresses!" Em snapped
Jasper ignored him, "—or high heels or headband. Not your hair just tied up high or low—"
"Yeah" Em nodded very fast, like he's still afraid. Yes, they're afraid of me
"—or it's okay if it's tied. Just tie it up with like—" Jasper thinked his leg trembling
"—Ribbon!" Em recited, snapping his fingers
"—Right Em! Good job!" then he looked at me, "What do you say?"
"WHAT—DO—YOU—THINK!!!!!!!!" I can't control my emotion! They are like Alice!
They kneel in front of me, and their hands formed like praying position, "Please, please, please, please! Just for tonight!—" then they hugged my feet "—please!"
"AND WHY?!" calm down, I tried to calm myself down through inhaling and exhaling.
They looked at each other before saying, "becauseAlice—Rosaliewillneverbeours!"
"WHAT?"
"yeah..." they looked at me apologetically
"Sorry, I don't speak gibberish"
"So you have not heard it?" they confirmed, I just nodded
They sighed then Jasper volunteered himself in speaking, "We—courted the—Cullen sisters—"
"W-what?" they sighed and just nodded, "So that's why... Wait I can't get the real point!"
Before Emmett spoke, he first took a very deep breath, "Alice and Rosalie told us that we should make you very beautiful tonight, and our price will be their sweet yes... "
"—So please Bella... cooperate with us... you know that—that they are the girls of our dreams..." Jasper spoke with such a romantic voice," Please e-even just for tonight"
Well, I should give them a chance... "Okay, b—" they hugged me very tightly, "—let me go! Can't—breathe—!" they let me go, with wide grins across their faces.
"But, just for this night!"
"Okay! Thank you so much!" Em gave me a tight bear hug!
"Now what?!" I stomped my feet while they look at me like—ugh!
"You looked very beautiful Bells..." Jazzy smiled
"And absolutely sexy ..."
I groaned, "No I look like an idiot! I feel like an idiot!"
Jazzy squared my shoulders and turned me to face look at the full length mirror. And I looked at myself. Wearing deep blue shirt that brought out my pale skin, a black shorts, and flat shoes
"Can I at least change the shoes..." I looked at these shoes, wonder where they got it..."—This shorts—" I said while tugging at this shorts "—This expose too much..."
"No, you already agreed to it" Em said talking at me like a father.
Speaking of father, "Where's dad?" I wondered
"Oh—he, he'll be late at going home—which means he can't come..." Jasper informed looking at his wrist watch.
"And about mom?"
"She, she'll come, after 15 minutes I guess"
"Hey, let's go, I'm hungry"
I snorted, my brother Emmett has always acted immature—except when it comes to love, fighting and protecting me.
"Okay" Jazz opened my bedroom door and nod towards me, indicating that I should go first, he's such a gentleman. I hope Alice and Rosy gave their whole heart to them, they're so lucky to have my brothers.
We made our way to the Cullen's house. Em pressed the doorbell and Mrs. Cullen is the one who opened it. I guess Mr. Cullen is not yet around. Mr. Cullen is a doctor at Fork's hospital.
"Esme!" Emmett hugged her first.
"Oh Emmett!" Esme said and her arms patting his back.
Emmett laughed and he released her and Jasper followed.
"Esme!" Jasper greeted, like she's just her long time friend—no like she's their mother. Jasper kissed her cheek and hugged her gently not like Emmett's bear hug.
"Jazzy," she released her then I followed.
Before I even hug her, her eyes opened there waiting for me. She's very warm to be with.
"Mrs. Cullen," I leaned forward and hugged her for like splits of seconds
I released her then she glared at me—not like she's mad, a playful one.
"I've been telling you for so many times that call me 'Esme' Mrs. Cullen is so formal."
"I'm not used to it,"
"No—starting now, call me Esme ok?"
"But—"
"No buts" she faced Em and Jazzy behind me, "Come in"
We followed her and seated at the couch.
"Okay, I'll just prepare the table, I'll just call you"
I stood up, "I'll help!"
"No, you're a guest, just keep yourself welcome and warm here"
"Always" I said, she smiled at me the go to their kitchen. I sighed then seated again.
"Mom!!!!!" someone with a bell like voice screamed, running down the stairs. Alice.
We looked up to her, like confused on why she's like that. And she looked at us wide-eyed and blushing because of embarrassment. Emmett started to laugh and me and Jasper followed. I notice who's coming down after Alice and laughing very hard.
"Hey bro!" Em greeted
"Hey,"
"What happened to her?"
"Please don't remind it!—It's so hilarious!" Edward managed to say. I looked away at them. I notice from the corner of my eye that he looks at me like he's examining what I look at. I pretended don't see that. Then, Mrs. Cullen—Esme came and told us that dinner's ready with a warm smile.
Then Rosalie came down with damp hair and a sexy outfit. I looked at my brother—he looked at her like—like he's lovestruck.
"Sure she looks like a living goddess..." he said almost absentmindedly to himself. Then we laughed at his expression—I mean all.
Edward faced him, "Hey, that's my sister"
"Oh—I know..."
"And I know that my sister really looks like a goddess" His voice turned different when he said the last word, Is he referring to me?! How dare he!
"Hey, our sister—"Jasper wrapped his right arm to me, "— looks like a goddess also" really, huh? I thought
"Really?" Em walked towards me and examined my face I sighed and pushed him.
"Yeah! If she'll just change the way she dressed and act... look at her now"
"What do you mean?" I said. Wait, it's the first time that I talked tonight—when Edward came, right?
"It—"
"It means that you should change your boyish appearance and actions. Have some manners"
"Well I have manne—" Emmett covered my mouth!
"No you don't—" he wrapped his huge arms around my small waist, "—enough talking. I'm hungry"
EPOV
My mom arranged the way we seated.
"Edward here and—Bella"
Me and Bella stared at her wide eye, "No!" we both protested and my sisters and her brothers snickered behind us.
"Why don't they seat facing each other?" Alice suggested when I looked around all of them seated across each other. Alice—Jasper , Rosalie—Emmett. One seat on Jasper's and Alice's sides. We both sighed heavily as we sat. The dinner slew swiftly until my mom started talking...
"Em, where's your mom and dad?" she asked Emmett—infairness he eat well poised now, as well for Bella. I saw her eating not much. We're at the end edge of the table so it means our mom can't see her if she does...
"They're still at work , mom said maybe she can still come. She still in the meeting 'till now"
My mom—Esme frowned, "So it means that I will be the only one who'll have a dinner with you all"
"It's okay mom" Alice said
"But mom, what brought all of this? this sudden dinner?" Rosalie snapped
"This? Nothing... Just wanted to know what's going on with you all" Mom said
"Oh..." I said almost to myself, Bella looked up to me and looked down again immediately
"Ed—" My mom called, "What's your test results?"
I thought for a moment, "They are all perfect except for math"
Em howled, "Seriously, math?" he laughed
Alice rolled her eyes at him, "What's your score?"
"98"
Em chocked.
My mom turned to Bella, "You—Bella, how's your score?"
"Just like Edward's"
Mom grinned, "Wow! I'm so proud of you guys... keep it up, okay?"
We nodded in synchronization. Then the dinner conversation went to their grades then Emmett's jokes. After the dinner, the Swans said their goodbyes to us, perhaps Bella didn't saw me. I sighed and hurried to my bedroom. On my room, I was thinking about last night—on what happened to Mike and how he made Bella cry. I loath him before—even now,I sat up on my bed and think then a bright idea came...
