Bella's POV
"Hey, Jess, would you mind telling your brother to stop stalking me, please? He asked me out before I could even call Charlie," I whined somewhat playfully.
"Yeah, uh, just call him on your cell now."
I rolled my eyes and called him.
"Hey, this is Bella."
"Bells? Do you know anything about an Edward Cullen?" Jake said angrily.
Why would he want to know this?
"Yeah, he goes to my school. He's also Alice and Emmett's brother. Why?"
"Well, you might want to tell him to stop calling here, unless he's suicidal," Jake said, bitterly.
What?! Why did Edward Cullen call my house? This is insanity. His father, the doctor of Forks, must have concluded that I'm dying in three days. Edward found out first, and now he feels sorry for me. Yeah, that's it. Totally.
I finally realized I must have sounded like an idiot not saying anything.
"Jake, how exactly did the conversation go?"
Edward's POV
I was in the midst of a conversation with Tanya, her talking more than me, honestly. Then, the perfect question came to mind.
"Hey Tanya, you wouldn't happen to know Bella's phone number, would you?"
She paused, as if deciding whether to give that information up or not.
She finally spoke, "Yeah, I have it…"
I waited, wondering when she was going to tell me.
"Uh, Tanya, what is it then?"
The response was quick, but I didn't miss it, "5679098, look, gotta go. Bye, uh, I'll call you later."
Huh, that was strange. Oh well. I have a number to dial.
Jessica's POV
(while Bella was downstairs)
I finally decided what I'd do while she was gone. I'd call Edward Cullen.
It was perfect, she would be so mad. I could tell him lies about her the whole conversation. The plan itself was perfection.
I grabbed a phone book quickly, to look it up.
It didn't take long, they were the only number there.
Then, I snatched my phone and dialed it.
It rung twice.
"Hello, Edward Cullen speaking."
Wow, that was polite.
Then, I realized I needed a fake name.
"Um. Hi. This is…um, uh," then it hit me, TANYA! Perfect.
"Tanya, yeah Tanya. I'm a friend of Alice's."
He spoke quickly, "Uh, cool. Do you want me to go get her?"
Dang! I really needed to talk to him. I was suddenly reminded of Bella makeovers.
"No, she told me to chat with you for a while. Something about a Bella makeover project she was working on? Yeah, well. What do you want to talk about?"
"Do you know Bella?" he asked, almost hopeful. Getting what I want was going to be easier than I thought.
So, I said simply, "Sure, what do you want to know?"
