I'm updating... mostly because a certain evill twin of bella was pushing me to update (Yes, that's with two l's. Look her up. She's awesome, even if you don't like her stories!). So thank her, not me.
!PLEASE READ THIS!
Two summers ago I read this story on FanFiction and I wanted to read it again, because it was SO good! Stupid me, of course, forgot to put in on my favrorites. I don't know what to look up to find, and I've looked though so many favorite lists to find it, but I just can't. So I need you guys to help me find it. Here's what I remember:
I know the setting was a while back, but I dunno how long. Bella's dad is this great warrior dude, and the army wants him to join because they need to have one guy from every family join. Bella ends up joining instead because after her mom died Charlie taught her how to be an awesome warrior, and so she's off at war pretending to be a dude and falls in love with Edward (who thinks she's a guy), and they become sorta like best friends. Then somehow everyone dies but a handful of people because of vampires (they're all human right now) killed them all. Victoria (a vampire) lets everyone know that Bella's a girl, Edwards happy that he isn't gay because he was having feelings for a "guy", and then they get changed. They fall in love, yada yada, and eventually by the end of the story they defeat Victoria or something, and then they all live happily ever after! Hurray! Well, except her dad, who died while she was at war.
So yeah. Anyone who knows it or finds it, I will love you forever! :)
Chapter 2. This Day Just Keeps Getting Better
Soundtrack- On Your Own; Green River Ordinance
"Well, obviously there isn't much to explain, but I'd still like to hear what you're up to." I said. I looked at Hannah for backup. Her eyes glowed with understanding and smiled menacingly at Daniel. I swear, I will never forget that look on his face. One word: Priceless.
He sighed. "Okay, you win. I've been cheating on you for about a year now..."
"A year?! We've been dating for a year!", I screamed.
Hannah raised her eyebrow. "With who, Daniel?"
"Um..."
"Daniel, tell me, or so help me-"
"Okay! Actually, Laramie, theres been a few girls." Hannah glared at him. "Well, more than a few. Probably a different girl every few days..."
"Every few days?!"
"...Yeah. Are you angry?"
I smiled. "Of course not, Daniel. I'm perefectly fine with you being a complete skang-bag. Nothing wrong with that. Absolutely."
He looked astonished. "Really? Are you serious? Wow, Laramie, you have no idea how much I-" I completely cut him off by slapping him straight in the face.
"Daniel Cantrell, you are a man whore. As of this moment, I hate you. I am done with all of crap. I'm done with all of your lies. But most of all," there was a crowd gathering so I decided to go for a strong finish, "I'm done with you." He stood there with his mouth hanging open.
I started to walk by him, but I turned around. "Oh, and shut that mouth. You'll catch flies." I smiled and walked away with a certain Hannah by my side.
And it was only then, when I was walking to my first period, that I realized that I never asked the new kid what his name was. I. Just. Knew. It.
But how?
*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*
I walked through the halls in a daze the whole day. I don't know if it was because I had just accomplished a feat that had taken me a whole year to get he guts to do (break up with Daniel), or if it was because of Brandon (the new kid). How on earth did I know his name? And why on eaarth was he so... I don't know. But I was curious, that's for sure. I would definitely have to figure out more about him.
I sat down at lunch with Hannah and waited for the rest of the "gang" to show up. The "gang" was just other kids who happened to sit with us, and we sort of paied attention to them.... But most of the time we were in our own little world. Today, however, the only existing subject was that I was now officially single, which that I was back on the market. I could look at guys now, and they could look back. Not like they didn't anyway, but still. It's nice to know that I'm not doing anything wrong!
"So who do you think is going to be your next victim? The milk man? The hot AP history teacher?"
"Mr. Lambert?" She nodded. "Hannah, you know good and well I don't have that class. I would never take a class with those nerds."
"Well, you have to admit, he's sexy as all get out." I nodded.
"Hannah, even I am not quite that oblivious. Besides, that's illegal, isn't it? I just thought we were going to be single together for a while. You know, you're single, I'm single... It's the perfect opportunity to do all those God-Forsaken girly things that girls do when they're single, right?"
Hannah looked embarassed. "Um... Well, I'm not sure that's such a good idea, Laramie..."
"Well, why not? You are single, aren't you?"
She shook her head slowly. "...No. Are you mad at me? I was going to tell you this moring, but with all the Daniel drama... I just never got around to it. I'm soooo sorry!"
I smiled. "It's okay! But I do want to know who he is... Where did you meet? Is he cute? Nice? Facial hair? Come on, I want to know these things."
She smiled back at me. "His name is Cody Witherow. I met him last weekend when we went to the mall, and you were in the bathroom. Remember? Well, he told me his e-mail and we've been talking for a while. We just started going out yesterday. He. Is. Gorgious. He's remarkably sweet, although he could tone down on the "That's what she said" jokes. No facial hair, at all. Not even a mustache. You would abslutely love him, Laramie. I know you would. You should meet him sometime." Her eyes lit up. "Hey, I know! We're going to his high school game this Friday. You should come with us." She smiled encouragingly.
I shook my head. "I want to, I really do, but you know how much I hate being a third wheel. It sucks."
"No worries. We'll set you up with one of his friends or something; it'll be perfect. I promise."
I sighed. "I'll think about it."
The bell rang shortly after that, and we both said goodbye to each other, because we both had class on opposite ends of the school. I was almost out of the lunchroom doos when I caught a glimpse of a stark pale figure out of the corner of my eye. I turned my head and saw him staring at me from the other end of the lunchroom, where he was still sitting alone with a tray full of food. I stared at him for a good while, but eventually reality caught up with me. I wretched my eyes away form his and continued on to my class.
My next class was Biology (I told you I'm obsessed with Twilight. I even switched my schedule around to match hers), where I had a table to myself. I was the only one on the room without a partner, because I was waiting for someone great to come along and possibly have the same Biology class as me.
I sat alone, pondering this Cody kid. Hannah seemed to like him, so I officially did, but I was not wanting to double date. Or blind date, for that matter. That just isn't me.
I also realized that I had to pee. I was just about to get up and ask the teahcer if I could use the restroom before class started, but the chair next to me slid out and someone sat in it.
I turned around to find out who it was, but I knew before I laid my eyes on him.
"Hello, Laramie."
*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*
I love you all! Please find that story at the begining, and review. Or don't. Honestly, I've been working on this chapter for way too long. I guess I just never had the right motivation (winking at evill twin of bella...).
.toastey.
