Chapter 3: Embarrassing situation

Jake began mumbling some words unfortunately the only I think caught was…

"...becoming my girlfriend?"

Wait, WHAT?! Oh my GOSH!! What am I going to do? I mean I love Jake and all but I love him as a friend. I hope he doesn't resent me for turning him down.

"So Bells, what about it?" Jake asked me nervously.

"Um…well I'm flattered and all but I don't think it would work…I mean there are many other people out there…and I think they would be better than me." I answered hoping we could still be friends.

"Oh but Bells, you are just what I'm looking for."

"Thanks Jake…but I just don't think it would work out. I mean you are a year younger than me even though you don't look like it…ARGH! What I'm trying to say is that I think it would be best if we stayed friends…okay?" I replied hoping he would accept it.

"But Bells…wait what? You thought…Oh no no no, didn't you hear what I just said?"

"Um…not really. You were mumbling and all I caught was "…becoming my girlfriend?"" I said wondering where he is going with this.

"What I said was that I was wondering whether you would do me the honor in asking Leah what she thinks of me. I was hoping she would become my girlfriend."

"Oh! Well this is awkward. Wait did you say Leah? As in Leah Clearwater, sister to Seth Clearwater.

"Yeah…why?" Jake asked.

"Oh my Gosh! I can't believe you like Leah. I taught she hated you." I asked him remembering all those times they use to yell at each other for no apparent reason.

"Well, we did. Until one day our friends decided to play a prank on us and well after that I learnt a lot about her. And you know the feelings started to grow from there." Jake admitted.

"Wow, I didn't think that prank would actually work." I said to myself.

"What? Oh um nothing. Sure Jake I would be honored you choose me to ask her. But could I ask why?" I asked.

"Well, because you're my best friend and I needed an approval from someone I could count on." Jake replied.

"Aw! Jake, thank you. When do you want me to ask Leah, the girl JAKE HAS A CRUSH ON what she thinks about you?" I said emphasizing on the last part.

"Would you keep it down? I don't want anyone to find out okay?" Jake said.

"Well fine, if you don't want anyone to know that YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON LEAH, than I'll keep it to myself." I said with a smug smile on my face.

"Bella…please stop saying that so loudly. What if she happens to be standing right behind me?" Jake said while begging me to stop.

"But Jake…"

"No, Bella listen! I'm begging you to stop because I really, really like her okay?"

Jake was waiting for me to agree with him. I thought about it until I saw an opportunity to make him blush as hard as me. Hey! I didn't say I was the only one who could blush different shades of red. I just said it was easier to be seen on me since I have pale ivory skin. His blush is usually hidden because of his russet skin. But this time it wouldn't be so easy to hide it. Now the moment of revenge.

"Jake sorry what did you say. I totally spaced out earlier. Could you repeat it to me?" I said with an evil smile on my face.

He hesitated a while because of my expression but then he replied.

"I said, stop saying that I have a crush on Leah so loudly because…" He stopped momentarily.

"Yes?" I said waiting for the moment of triumph.

"Because I really, really like her, okay?" He said quietly.

"What was that? I couldn't quite hear it."

"I said I really, really like her, okay?" He said a little louder than before but still too soft.

"What was that? Could you speak louder Jake, I can't hear you?" I said hoping he would get irritated.

"I SAID I REALLY, REALLY LIKE HER, OKAY?" He said clearly annoyed by my lack of hearing.

"Who was it again that you really, really like?" I asked Jake.

"LEAH!! I REALLY, REALLY LIKE LEAH!!" Jake said shouting at the top of his lungs.

With this, I turned to face Leah, who is currently standing behind Jake with an awkward expression on her face.

"Oh! Hi, Leah! How have you been?" I said with a triumph smile on my face.

She hesitated a while but then said "Hi, Bella. I'm actually doing great." She stopped for a moment before continuing. "Um…Hi, Jake."

"Um…Hi, Leah!" Jake said blushing furiously while managing to glare at me with all his might.

"Well, I think I will leave you two love buds alone. See you inside Jake." I yelled to him while laughing as I went in.

I can't believe I made him blush that hard. I mean I don't even blush that hard, at least I hope I don't. Well, I hope I didn't screw things up with Leah. He really looked embarrassed about it. And by the way he said her name, he must really, really like her.

I was carrying a basket to hold all the groceries for dinner. I was thinking of making Chicken Enchiladas. But I wasn't too sure about it. Maybe I should ask Jake about it. As I was heading out to look for him, he bumped into me at the end of the aisle. As you know being a klutz I am, I fell flat on my bum.

"Oh sorry Bells, here." He said reaching down to pull me up with his hand.

"No problem. Thanks. Um…so how did it go out there? I didn't screw it up, did I?" I asked him worried of what I did.

"Actually Bells, that's what I wanted to tell you. Ok, at first things were a little awkward between us. But then I managed to talk to her a little. Than I asked her to be my girlfriend. She said…yes!" Jake said smiling happily.

"Oh my Gosh, Jake. I knew it would work out. And you're welcome." I said grinning happily that my best friend has finally found a girlfriend.

"Thank you so much, Bells. You could have done in a much better way though. But thank you. How can I ever repay you?" He said.

"It's okay; you don't have to repay me. Do you mind getting the trolley; the basket won't fit anymore food." I asked.

"Sure, no prob. Bells. Just curious here, how much food do you need to make dinner?" He asked curiously.

"Well, I'm not making dinner for tonight only. I'm making it for the rest of my stay here. So I would need all the food there is. Besides have you seen what's inside Charlie's fridge?"

"Yeah, absolutely nothing." He replied.

"Exactly, he's bound to get hungry sometime and there has to be at least something eatable in the house." I said to Jake who was now back with the trolley. Wow! He's really fast. When did he go? Oh well!

For the past 20 minutes or so, we have been loading all kinds of food into the trolley. Not junk food of course, healthy food. I'm still worried about Charlie's health though he claimed to say he was healthy as a horse. I think we have enough food for a hall full of students. Students! That reminds me, I have school tomorrow, where I would be the new girl…again! I sighed, thinking about tomorrow.

"What's wrong, Bells?" He asked me. We were currently walking through one of the aisles.

"Nothing. I'm just thinking about school tomorrow. Sadly, I'll be the new girl again and you won't be there." I said.

Jake was unfortunately studying in La Push. He absolutely loved it there. He had his friends and now girlfriend going there. Who wouldn't love that? Well, accept for the girlfriend part, if you're a girl but you get the point.

"Don't worry Bells. I'm sure you'll manage through it. You did for 6 schools so far. I can't believe it. You're 17 and you have been to 6 schools so far. But be hell, huh?" He said.

"You have no idea. But you're right I managed through 6 schools so far, I guess 7 won't make a difference. Thanks Jake."

I was talking to Jake about how is friends were doing that I didn't see someone in my way. Apparently that someone didn't see me either. Well, you can guess what happened next, can't you. You can't? Oh, well here's a little hint. "BANG!"

Yeah, I banged into that person and guess what? Fell flat on my bum…again. You know usually this is where the best friend comes in to help me up. But instead he was laughing his head off. I was about to help myself up when a pair of hands shot down in front of me and helped me up. I came face to face with a guy who looked over a year older than me. He had dark curly brown hair, dark brown eyes, dimples which look really cute on him. He was huge. I don't mean the huge as in the fat guy, kind of huge. I mean the big, burly muscular type of huge. He helped me up and set me down steadily.

"Thanks." I said looking down at my feet.

"No problem. But you should have seen your look when you glared at him for laughing at you." He said laughing while pointing at Jake.

Great another guy like Jake. One is enough for me thank you. He looked really intimidating at first but then when he laughed he seemed to look like a teddy bear. All big and cuddly. Not get any ideas. This is just my observation.

"My name is Emmett Cullen." He said.

"Um…Bella Swan." I said to him. I usually thought that when you meet someone they would give you shake your hand or something. But I didn't expect him to give me a bone crushing hug.

"Um…can't…breathe." I managed to say before I died from this bone crushing hug. Wow! That's a first. I can just imagine it. Headlines for tomorrow's newspaper. Girl died from a bone crushing hug. That would have been pretty hilarious, if I didn't happen to be the girl.

"Well, Bella Swan it's a pleasure to meet you. I better get home or else Esme would have my head. Cool, head for dinner. Sounds pretty good." I think the last part was meant for himself but he said it pretty loudly. Jake was trying to hold back a laugh. Like that would work.

"Like wise, Emmett." I said glad that he didn't know I was new. Or maybe he did but didn't say anything. That was weird. Usually people would try to pester the new kid. I guess he just didn't know. Wow what a stroke of luck.

As I was walking towards Jake at the cashier, I heard Emmett saying to himself.

"Cookie, cookie, cookie, peanut butter, cookie, cookie…"

I couldn't help it but let out a small giggle. If you think of it, it is pretty hilarious that I guy that looks like a body builder is acting like a 5 year old kid in public. I couldn't help wonder if he would be going to Forks High School. There could be a possibility, and then I would actually know someone at the school. What am I saying? Everyone will be pestering me tomorrow. Ugh…great. I just hope that tomorrow would be different. I'm sick and tired of being in the center of attention.

What I didn't know was that my life was talking on a whole new twist. Could it be for the better…or for the worse? Only one way to find out.

AN: I hope you like this chapter. I know the story is moving very slowly but I hope its okay. Remember when I said the Cullens and the Hales would be appearing in this chapter. I didn't exactly mean all of them. This is my first fanfiction…so please don't be disappointed if I don't meet with your expectation. Once again, you don't have to review if you don't want to…Thanks for reading…
