Well lets recap first:
One second I was walking to the backdoor the other I was picked up into a big bear hug. Jeez, this kid was really strong.
"I...can't...breathe...."
"Oh, sorry," He let go of me and walked inside to meet his parents, who were at the front door.
"Come on Emmett! I need to pick put something to wear to school tomorrow and guess what?!" Alice said walking out the door.
"Yea, yea. I'm going to help." Emmett muttered under his breath.
"Bye, Bella! See you at school tomorrow!" Alice and Emmett said at the same time.
"Bye!"
Ugh. School. Well one things for sure I had to friends to talk with tomorrow.
1 Last important thing, Bella will get older in this chapter, I'm going to put up a little note or something so you know.
Why me? Why her?
Chapter 4
Bella's POV
I had trouble sleeping that night. I guess because tomorrow was the first day of school? It was dark outside when I looked out the window. I looked at my clock that said '12:17' Why was not sleeping? I tried to count sheep but it didn't work, then i got a glass of milk, and I think that was the trick, because I don't really remember much after that. I dreamed about what life could have been if dad loved me and mom. Would we have been happy? Would I still have a still have a daddy right now? I will never now.
"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up," I felt someone pull the covers off of me and heard them say 'You don't to be late for school? Do you?'
"Ugh," I moaned, "I wanna go back to sleep!" and I through a pillow at who ever was talking to me. When I heard nothing I rubbed my eyes and decided to open them. Mom was right in my face staring at me with a goofy smile. I almost screamed, mom didn't look her best in the morning. Especially since her hair looked like a boiler exploded on her head. She was holding Jake and he licked my nose, I grabbed Jake's little body and hugged him.
"Mommy! You scared me, I almost screamed!" I yelled at her, covering my head with the other pillow on my bed.
"No. Don't scream. Get up and dressed cuase' guess what!" Mom said getting off my bed and, I think she was skipping to the door?
"I know, I know. First day day of school, whatever," I muttered under my breath.
"That's right, now get up, or I'll pour water on your face...," Mom smiled, leaving the room.
"Whatever," I slouched back into bed and closed my eyes.
"Don't think I won't do it! And feed Jake!" Mom yelled and I quickly got up, not wanting my day to start with a shower in bed. I went down stairs and filled a little bowl full of food for Jake, he was greedy. Every time I would want to take his food away he would growl. But he was a small ball of trouble and fluff.
After I poured some water into Jake's water dish I headed up stairs to take a shower. I washed my hair with my favorite shampoo, Strawberry Lavender, after mom dried my hair I looked in my closet for something to wear. I was stuck between a blue American-Eagletang top and a grey long sleeved Ed Hardy T-Shirt, it was raining outside so I went with Ed Hardy. It was a favorite Ed Hardy shirt, it had a skull on it that had pink, yellow, and blue spiky hair, and the skull also had a banner going across its eyes and a lock on one side. I wore skinny jeans and pink and blue shoes that matched my shirt.(shirt and shoes on profile)
I was putting on my hat when I heard someone call my name from outside. I looked out the kitchen window and saw Alice waving hystarically at me, Emmett was right next to her smiling. I waved at them, then turned to the door. Jake started to whimper when I told him he couldn't go. I bent down and gave him a little kiss on his head and told him I would be back later. I opened the door and yelled, "Bye, Mom!" and ran over to Alice and her brother.
I only now noticed what she was wearing, she had a dress that went to her knees. It was white with black pokie-dots, at the bottom it had little ruffles and on the left strap there was a big black bow.(Dress on Profile) She looked really pretty and there was a white headband in her hair. Emmett had on a simple red shirt with a yellow American Eagle jacket and some jeans.
We walked to school talking about how we were all in the same 3rd grade class. I was just excited because I already knew two people that were my friends and in the same class.
The school was like 5 minutes away from the house, I guess that's why mom let me walk, it wasn't big either, not big like the one that I went to in Pheonix. You couldn't go into the school without asking someone where the class you were going to was.
Alice lead our little group to the right class room, and the teacher gave us a paper that had all the class rules, like any one was going to follow them.
Emmett went all the way to the back of the class when the teacher called his name. Emmett turned around and went to the teachers desk in the front of the class, a couple seconds later, Emmett walked away from the teacher and sat in the first seat of the front row. He looked annoyed, like the teacher was making him angry or something. Alice giggled and I turned my head towards her, "He made history last year for being the youngest, most annoying, and obnoxious kid in the school," Alice giggled some more, and this time Emmett heard her and he started laughing too.
Wow. Only in 3rd grade and he has a reputation.
"Children?" the teacher cleared his thoat, "Children, please take a seat anywhere in the class, thank-you."
"Come on Bella, lets go sit with Emmett,"
"Umm, ok..." Before I would say anything else Alice was dragging me to where Emmett was sitting. I took the seat next to him and Alice sat took the seat behind me.
"Came to sit next to the class clown," I said to him, smiling.
"Ha, ha, ha, Bella," Emmett said looking at me, then turning his head to Alice, "What's this guys name?"
"Um... I think it's... Mr. Weber?"
"Oh," Emmett said looking up at the teacher.
He was writing things on the board.
"This is going to be a long day," Emmett muttered.
End of School Day
"Bella, are you coming over tonight?" Alice asked when we got out of the school.
"Uh...I...,"
"Come on! It's so boring to have to play dress-up with Alice. Come over, please?" Emmett said in a pleading voice.
"OK," How could I say no to my two best friends?
When I finally got home, I was bushed. I had played Halo with Emmett, I kept beating him and every time he lost he would call a rematch, but after plaing like 20 rounds Alice got tired of waiting and pulled me into her room. We played dress-up for a long time, I dressed up as a king, then a lion, and even a fairy, she has a lot of cloths. After about an hour, Emmett wanted to play with me, so we played outside with Jake so I could play with them and Jake needed some extercise. When finally mom called me in for dinner. "Bye, guys!" I said from my yard, "Bye, Bells!" They heard mom call me Bells after school and it stuck to them. It least they didn't call me Nicklike the kids at my other school, nick didn't even sound like Bella. Theres nothing alike, Bella, Nick, Bella, Nick, Bella, Nick. You come up with a reason they named me that, even if I dressed like a boy mos tof the time.
Three Years Later
"Mom are you serious?" mom just told me that she wanted to go out with people now. I, wanting her to be happy, told her that I had no problems with it. It was years since she's gone out with anyone.
"Yes, I met this guy, Phil, and he asked my out for coffee," she added, "Im going at about twelve in the afternoon, so I should be home before you are,"
"Mom, please, take all the time in the world. I want you to be happy and if going out with...,"I forgot him name already?
"Phil," Mom said pouring a cup of coffee into her favorite mug.
"Right. Well. yea, if going is going to make you happy, then go. Besides you're the one that's going to date with him, not me." I told her as I picked up my pop-tart that popped out of the toaster.
"But if I'm not home before you then please call my cell phone, I'll leave it on if you need anything," Mom said takeing a sip of her coffee.
"Sure, I'll call when I get home. You'll have to tell me how the date is going so far though, K?" I said looking at the clock and realizing it was time to go.
"Okay, Bella. Have a good day at school," Mom said with a smile, she must really be exxcited about the date.
"Bye! I'll see you two later, later!" I yelled when I opened the front door. Mom said 'Bye' and Jake barked.
I'm running late! I have to make it to class on time. Last time I was late Alice chose my outfit the next day, Ugh! She made me wear a mini skirt with a tang top, and it was freezing! Im not letting Alice get her way thins time. Nuh, ah. I looked at my watch, I had 2 minutes before the warning bell rang. Just then the school came into view, YES! No skirts!
Alice refused to walk with me to school anymore, something about herself image and me messing it up. Ahh, Alice the drama queen. But she wasn't a jerk, like Lauren and her personal monkey Jessica.
When I got into the school, I accidently bumped into her. "Watch it! You wrinkled my dress you, B****!" She hollered at me, but I did't look back at her, I have to get to class!
"Whatever!" What a snobby, spoiled loser!
Then I spotted the door to my first period class.
"Yes!!!" I nearly yelled when I stepped into the class room, which made everyone turn there heads towards me. I bushed, I don't like being the center of attention.
"Thank-you, Senorita Swan, for joining us today. Please take a seat," The teacher waved her hand for me to take a seat and I turned my body and headed to the back where Alice was sitting.
"Made it just in time, little Ms. Alice," I said with a wicked smile.
"Aww, a couple more seconds and you would've of worn a dress with heals tomorrow," I shivered at the thought of me even thinking about going into a gown shop.
Alice giggled and turned her head to the front of the class. Were the teacher was beginning class.
"Buenos Dias, estudiantes!"
"Buenos Dias, Senora Heredia." People mumble.
This class was so boring! I already knew Spanish like I knew the bottom of my black All Stars. You could give me a Spanish dictionary and I would be able to translate it into English.
Biology and Calculus and PE pasted quickly, because Emmett was in class's with me. Every time I looked over at Emmett he was making funny faces at me or joking around. He always did something to embarrass himself, but at times he would be serious. Even though we were the same ages, I've always looked up to Emmett, he was the funny older brother that I never got. Alice was the sister I've always wanted, she was the person I could talk to about girl things, Alice and Emmett were the siblings I've always dreamed of having.
The bell rang, signaling the end of the period and Gym, me and Emmett raced to lunch. Emmett won, only because he threw his lunch bag on the table before I reached it. Alice, Emmett and I, always brought out lunch from home, something about added calories in the school lunches, I don't know. Another Alice thing, some silly reason she made up so we'd all bring a bagged lunch.
"So what do we have her?" Emmett said digging through his brown bag, "Aha! I found you, you thought you could get away from Em? Well, think again!" Emmett talked to his bag of chips, everything labeled 'food' attracted the guy.
A few minutes later Alice came through the cafeteria's side door.
"Sorry, guys. Mrs. Commondores needed to speak to me after class," Alice said panting as she reached for a water bottle form her bag, chugging it all down.
Mrs. Commodores was the music teacher. Every since Alice enrolled in chorus Mrs. Commondores has had an eye for Alice. Who wouldn't? Alice's voice was like bells chiming, her voice to too musical to explain other wise.
"What did she..." Emmett said chewing on some gummy worms. Then he held up one finger, which ment to wait a second, "...want," Emmett said after swallowing the last of the chewy candy.
"Oh, nothing," Alice said looking away, and smiling at the wall in front of her.
"Alice, you know I don't like waiting for answers. So just tell us, please?" I said waving a hand in front of her face.
"Yeah, Ali. Come on," Emmett complained stuffing a ham sandwich half down his throat.
"She's making me head singer in the concert this winter!" Alice squealed , jumping up and down in her seat.
" What does that mean?" Em said after taking a spoonful of chocolate pudding. Honestly were does he put all that food? What did he eaten so far? A huge sandwich, a bag of chips, the pudding cup...and oh yeah the gummy worms he didn't share!
"That means that I'm the lead vocalist!" Alice squealed some more.
"Which means...." Emmett took a drink of his Dr. Pepper.
"Bella, please explain to my dumb brother," Alice muttered. Emmett was bringing her down.
"Emmett, do you understand me now?" I said every word slowly fo him, "Alice is better, you keepin' up, at singing then other people, tell me when I'm going to fast. She is so good, that she is going to do a solo in the winter concert," I finished and he just rolled his eyes.
"So, changing the subject, what are you guys going to do after school?" I said when I finished wih my lunch.
"I have to stay after for wrestling," Emmett smiled, he loves the thought of beating up other guys for fun.
"Well, Mrs. Commonderes said we need to fix up my voice a bit, which I completely disagree with, but it's a necessity for the lead vocalist," she pointed to herself," to be there."
"Hmm, well then, I'm going to walk home alone...again," I was bummed, I wanted to have quality time with my two best friensds.
"Tomorrow, I promise that we'll gave some time to hang out," Emmett hugged my shoulders and Alice nodded her head.
"No guys do what you have to do. I'm OK, really,"
" To bad for you, cuase' I have nothing to attend to and Emmett the wrestler doesn't have practice," Alice smiled.
"Fine, but you guys can't go out of your way to spend time with me," I said playing with my fingers.
"Bells, we love you like a sister. We do things with you because we really do want to spend time with you," Ahh, Emmett. Being a lovable hug-able teddy bear.
"Thanks Emmett," I have him a hug, but he kept his hand around my shoulders.
The rest of the day sped by really quickly. I didn't even realize it was the end of the day until some one tapped my shoulder, "Hmm?" I asked turning my head around.
"Bella, we came to say bye. You looked preoccupied today," It was Angela and her boyfriend, Ben.
"Oh, hey guys, I don't know what you're talking about," I got up, grabbed my bag and left after saying, "Bye," to Angela and Ben.
When I got up to my room I remembered that I needed to call mom and ask her how the day was going, since I didn't see her or hear her say 'Hi'I went down stars and went through my contacts, on my Black Berry Pearl, and pressed 'TALK' when I got to moms number.
Ring, Ring, Ring... The phone rang thirteen times then the answering machine. "Hello, you are trying to contact Renee Swan. If I don't answer it's because I'm busy or I don't want to pick up. Anyway, thanks for dropping a call, I'll call as soon as I can. Bye!"
Wow she must really be having fun on the date, or she would've picked up. I didn' think about it anymore so I went to do my homework, on the way I grabbed a granola bar and headed up stairs.
I finished my math homework so now it was liturature time, but before I started I picked up my phone and dialed the familiar number.
Ring, Ring, Ring... The phone rang thirteen times then the answering machine. "Hello, you are trying to contact Renee Swan. If I don't answer it's because I'm busy or I don't want to pick up. Anyway, thanks for dropping a call, I'll call as soon as I can. Bye!"
"Ugh! Pick up your phone, already!" I yelled fustrated, why wouldn't she answer?
After I finished all my homework and the extra credits, I went down stairs and looked at the time 4:36. Wow two hours to finish my homework. Which meant mom has been on her date for... almost five hours!
"What's up with her?" For the third time I picked up my phone and dialed my moms cell. Ring, Ring, Ring.The third ring was interrupted when a male voice picked. "Oh...um...?" Why did this man answer my moms cell?
"where's my mom?" I started going hysterical.
"Calm down, it's Dr. Cullen," Oh, my heart felt lighter, "I would like you to come down to the hospital..."
"Why? What Happened? Don't tell me moms involved?'' I couldn't take it anymore, my heart got heavy like someone was sufficating me. I felt like I was drowning, I felt my face warm up with the tears that were falling.
There was an uncomfortable silence.
"What?! What happened to Renee?!" I was freaking out. I had to sit down and breath, what happened to Renee? Why her? There was another round of tears, my head was pulsing and I felt numb.
"I would like for you to come down to the hospital, so I can explain things properly," He tried at talk professional, but I knew he truly wanted to confert me. Nothing could confert me right, now. Nothing.
