Chapter 3
It's officially friday...the day of the dance. This whole week went by so fast. Alice and I have become really close. She was my best friends...that doesn't mean I wasn't friends with Jasper still I mean he still was my best friend he was just my guy best friend.
Alice and Jasper became really close too and it was so obvious they were crushing on each other. Since monday when Jasper and Alice first met Jasper has been thinking of the perfect way to ask Alice to the dance. He didn't think Alice would say yes to him even though I told him about a hundred times that she definitely would.
I haven't talked to Edward there were occasional 'hellos' passed between us when I was at the Cullen's house but other than that nothing.
Life at home was as bad as ever. Although I wasn't as home as much because Victoria let me go to the Cullen's, she would never let me go to Jasper's so I even told her I was going over to Alice's when I was going to see Jasper sometimes. She would let me go and I would stay at Jazz's while he tried to figure out how to ask Alice. It was so funny seeing him struggle. I have never seen him so nervous before.
The only thing that got me through the day was when I got to go home and talk to poeticjock. I knew that he went to my school but there are over 35,000 kids in my school which doesn't really narrow it down, so I had no idea who he was, heck I don't even know if I know who he is. He sometimes wrote poems to me which made eliminated half the guys in the school but his user name was poeticJOCK and the jock just brings the people I eliminated from the poetic part back in the running. One night he sent me a poem that was so sweet I was literally swooning and it was only typed words. All in all he was the perfect guy and I didn't even know him.
That's what scared me though. He was too perfect. I knew that once he saw it was me at the dance he would run and never speak to me again.
Suddenly Jasper walked through the door of the diner interrupting my thoughts. He was wearing a Devil costume. On his arm was .GOD. Alice was on his arm and she was wearing an angel costume. Aw they looked so cute together and wait a minute. Rewind they were together!
".god" I shouted running up to Alice and Jasper and hugging them both. "when did this happen give me the details are you guys like a thing now..." I asked while jumping up and down in excitement.
Alice giggled "Jazzy why don't you go sit in a table so we can talk about you" I laughed at her straightforwardness.
Jasper just shrugged and walked off to a table on the other side of the diner.
Alice turned to me with a huge smile on her face "ok so he asked me today. After school he was waiting by my car when I walked over. He looked down all shy and said I was wondering if maybe you wanted to go to the dance tonight with me...if your not going with someone already...and only if you want to. He was so nervous it was adorable" she squealed and I became partially deaf. "I said yes and he looked up shocked and was like really and I was like of coarse silly I thought you'd never ask." she smiled a dreamy smile.
"well at least he finally became man enough to ask you" I said loudly to make sure Jasper would hear.
He just smiled at me. Wow he must be I a really good mood.
Alice suddenly snapped out of her daze and said "Bella what are you doing you should be getting ready the dance starts in thirty minutes."
"I know I know I was about to leave calm down." I took off my apron and walked out from behind the counter when the door opened and in walked Victoria.
"and where do you think you're going?" she said in her high annoying voice.
"um well the school dance is tonight and I was hoping I could go..."
"ok please Bella no one asked you to go so what makes you think anybody wants you there sweety." she said with a sickly sweet smile on her face.
"i'll have you know that someone did ask me to the dance." I said proudly.
"who" she said shock evident on her face and in her voice.
"I don't know" I admitted while looking down.
"oh don't pretend like you were asked, please" Lauren said coming into the diner wearing a cat costume.
"really it just makes you even more pathetic" Jessica added while they both laughed at me. Jessica was wearing the same black slutty cat outfit as Lauren and no doubt Tanya was wearing the third one.
"now Bella I will be back at the diner at exactly 12:00 with the girls. No sooner and no later. Get it?"
"got it" I replied eyes still on the floor.
"good." victoria replied with a smile "let's go girls" with that all three of them walked out of the diner.
I lifted my head to see Alice and Jasper staring at me.
Suddenly Esme spoke "Bella she shouldn't be taking over your life like this" wow I forgot she was even here.
"yeah you have to go or you won't meet poeticjock" Jasper said with a smirk.
"whose poeticjock" Alice and Esme asked at the same time.
"some boy sending her love notes." Jasper said.
"he is not sending me love notes."
"Bella any boy who is taking the time to right their feeling down for you is writing a love note." Esme said with a bright smile.
"you have a secret admirer!" Alice screamed while hugging me.
"except he doesn't know who I am and I don't know who he is." I said with a sigh.
"exactly and you'll never know unless you go to the dance." Jasper started "he want's to meet her their tonight" Jasper added.
Esme squealed sounding a lot like Alice and Alice was wearing a knowing smile. I wonder if she knows something I don't.
"Bella you have to go" Alice screamed at me.
"she's right" Esme said "you need to go. Just make sure you're back by 12:00 Alice will give you something to wear."
with that Alice grabbed my hand and pulled me out of my chair and into the parking lot.
"omg Jazz your dad let you use his Mercedes!"
"I know isn't it great!" he had a huge grin on his face. I just rolled my eyes and got in the car.
* * * * * * * *
five minutes later we were pulling up into the Cullen's driveway. Alice grabbed my hand and pulled me out.
"Jazz stay here so that when we come out we can leave right away. Keep the car running we won't be too long."
Alice dragged me in her room and threw me so I was sitting on her bed. She ran over to her huge walk in closet and threw the doors open. She walked out with a huge white ball gown. She threw it at me and yelled at me to put it on. She turned away and I quickly slid it on. She than put my hair in curls and did some light make up. She was done in about 10 minutes which was amazing time for her. She gave me silver heels and a white mask to match the dress and to top off the outfit.
I put them on without argument and looked into the full length mirror. I looked amazing the dress looked gorgeous on me. (A/N: just picture the dress, shoes and mask Sam wears in the movie)
"enough admiring yourself we need to go" Alice yelled as she dragged me out of her room, down the stairs, out the front door, and into Jasper's truck. I surprisingly didn't trip once. New record!
* * * * * * * *
we got out of the car and walked up to the school.
We were standing outside of gym when I grabbed Jasper's arm making him and Alice stop.
"guys I have to be back by 12:00" I said.
Jasper seemed to be in deep thought when he said "give me your cell phone." without hesitation I pulled it out and gave it to him.
"I'm setting an alarm, it will go off at a quarter to 12:00 so we have enough time to get back."
"good thinking Jazz" I said.
Than he opened the gym doors and started walking down the stairs with Alice on his arm. (A/N: picture the room where they have the dance in the movie)
I took a deep breath. This is it Bella. No turning back now. Than I took my first step on the stairs. Suddenly everyone turned towards me. I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks. Calm down Bella it's ok. Don't trip. Don't trip.
Suddenly I felt really hot and there was a blinding light in my eye. I realized that they brought the spot light on me. Prefect. Just what I need and audience when I trip and make a fool out of myself. Surprisingly I didn't trip though. Wow this is a good day for me.
I looked at the clock to see it was 11:55. time to go to the center of the dance floor. Oh god. I told Alice and Jasper where I was going and walked to the center. I knew I was at the center because the disco ball was right over my head.
I watched as the minutes slowly ticked by thinking about all the bad things that could happen. What if he was a freak. What if when he finds out it's me he laughs. He says I did this as a joke wow Bella you are so gullible. I cringed at the though. I knew this was a bad idea. I was thinking maybe I should turn around and go back when the clock struck 11:00.
I froze in my spot. Well there is know turning back now.
I felt a tap on my shoulder.
"poeticjock?" I asked.
"yes it is me" I heard a males voice speak.
I took a deep breath and turned around to see who my prince charming was.
I turned around to see OH! MY! GOD!

A/N: oh cliffy. Who do you think it is. The first person to guess right I will mention in my next authors note! Ok so good? Bad? Whatever your thinking put it into a review. I dont care if it's one word or even one letter just please review. Ok so the next chap will be the whole dance all the way until back at the diner! I am so excited for it!!! ok btw happy easter and passover to all. I hope everyone had a very good holiday. ****important I have no idea what I am going to make Bella leave behind at the dance. Should I make it her phone like in the movie or something different? If you think the same let me know and if u think diff give me ideas. If you don't give me ideas I'm going to just make it the phone. Also so far about 4 people have told me to make him find out in a different way from the movie that it's Bella but if no one gives me ideas I personally like how it is played out in the movie it makes me cry every time (I know I'm a baby) and I will keep it that way if no one gives me ideas. Let me know if you think I should keep it the same or change it. I know it's a long AN but I really need to know these things so pleasee REVIEW! Thanks for reading my story Luv y'all
