Chapter 4: plan into action.
After our weekend spent at Edward and Roses house it was Monday. This meant school. And also the first day of my plan. Alice and Rose came to see me this morning to help me complete my make over. I got out of my car wearing a black short pencil skirt that came mid-thigh on me. This was matched with a white top with a white tank top underneath. I had a pair of 3 inch heels. Death traps I call them. I'm bound to trip in them before the day is up. I had very subtle make up on that helps enhance my face Alice said and my hair is curls around my face. I felt confident when walking over to the others. But everyone was staring at me which put my confidence down a little bit. I made it across the car lot and stood next to Jasper. "Wow Bells. Looking hot" Jasper said. "That's just morally wrong. I'm your sister" I replied. I look at Alice and Rose and see them grinning at me while secretly taking glances at Edward. I save him for last. I look at him and his mouth is hanging open in shock I think. "Shut your mouth Eddie or you'll catch flies" I said to him. Alice and Rose have a satisfied look on their face while Jasper bursts in to laughter. Edward shuts his mouth while looking shocked. I turn my back to him and walk off into school. While I enter the school I receive a few catcalls and wolf whistles but I don't take any notice. In fact the sudden arm around my waist catches my attention. I look to my right and see Edward gripping my waist. I shoot him a questionable glance and he returns with an innocent look. I shake my head but don't say anything. I rather enjoy having his arm around my waist. We make it too home room and see everyone staring at me. Edward grabs my hand and pulls me over to our seats. The rest of the day went by with people staring at me as I walk down the corridor. At lunch though that's when everything happened. I was sat down with the gang at our usual table when Jacob Black walks up to our table. "Hey Bella" he said to me. I greet him back while turning myself back to my friends. "Erm I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me tomorrow night" I see Edward stiffen out the corner of my eye. "Um... I don't know Jacob, I think I might be busy tomorrow night" I said to him. "Oh what are you doing?" He questions me. I quickly glance around and say "oh we are all going out to see a movie in Port Angeles tomorrow night" I said to him. "We are?" Everyone asked me and I nodded. "Oh well maybe I can come?" He says to me. "Oh um you see it was going to be a sort of group thing as we will all split off into 2s" he looks at me sheepishly. "Oh um well who's going with who?" He asked. "Well Emmett will go with Rose, Alice will go with Jasper and I'm going with Edward" I said to him. "But they are all couples" he said looking suspiciously. "Yeah I know but we are all practically family and me and Edward are comfortable with each other that it looks like we are. Sorry Jake." I said to him and he nods and walks away. I look at Edward and he has the same look in his eyes that he had the other day. At the end of the day Alice and Rose come up to me. "What was that at lunch? Why didn't you say yes to Jacob? I thought that was your plan" they said. "Oh it was. Jacob is the type of person that won't let it go trust me he will be there tomorrow night and that's when the plan will start." "I don't understand" they said "just watch and learn" I replied. The next day at school I wore a black dress that was tight at the top and then flowed out at the waist. I wore these will a pair of white sandals with a 2 inch heel. Again all day I received people staring at me and whistles. I must admit I did quite like it. It made me feel pretty. This is a word I would never use to describe myself. At lunch I had another person come and introduce me to them. Their name was Tyler Crowley. He had brown short spiky hair and brown eyes. He was handsome but not my type. He asked me out to dinner Thursday night and I accepted. Edward looked at me in disbelief when I said yes. I just pretended I couldn't see him. When I got back home Alice and Rose came to mine while we got ourselves ready for the movies. Alice wore a yellow summer dress which came to her knees with a pair of black pumps. Rose wore a deep red dress which came to her mid-thigh and paired this with a pair of black pumps. While I wore a midnight top with a pair of black skinny jeans and paired it with a pair of open toe blue heels. I looked nice if I must say so to myself. The boys came to pick us up and we all rode in Emmett's big van that way we all got to go together. Once we arrived at the movies the boys went and chose the film while we girls went to get the food and drinks. I got mine and Edwards. While I was paying I heard a voice a couple of places behind me I looked and saw no other than Jacob Black with a few of his friends Sam Uley, Quil Atteria and Embry Call. I turned back around and gave Rose an 'I told you' look in which she rolled her eyes. We met up with the boys and headed in to our screen. I found out we were watching the new horror Ouija film. I love scary movies so this didn't bother me. I sat next to Alice and Edward with Jasper beside Alice and then Emmett and Rose. Halfway through the film Edward grabbed my hand and placed it on his thigh I didn't say anything because I enjoyed it. About 10 minutes later I got up to use the toilet. When I came out I saw that Jacob was leaning against the side of the wall waiting for me. "Now can we go out seeing as we are both here" he said. I just smiled and carried on walking. He grabbed my hand and pulled me around towards him then pushed me against the wall while leaning his body into mine. I pushed him away as I didn't feel right... Not like my Edward. He wouldn't budge the next thing I know he forces his lips onto mine. I didn't register until he forces my mouth open and slides his tongue into my mouth. I push my arms onto his chest and try to push him away. He finally backs away. "Wow your good" he said to me in which I form a fist with my knuckles and hit him in the face. I turn around and Edward is there watching me. "Edward I... He... I didn't..." I try to say but he just turns around and walks away. I storm back to Emmett's van and wait there for the film to finish. The others come back looking at me with concern but I look at Edward and see that he can't meet my gaze. I get into the car and don't say another thing. The next day I can't force myself go to school so I stay in bed all day thinking about how I screwed things up with me and Edward. I decided I don't want to make out with other boys I just want Edward. On Thursday I finally tell myself to go in to school and explain to Tyler that I can't go out with him. I wear my grey Hollister trackies and my navy blue Hollister hoody with a pair of navy converses. I'm not looking to impress anyone today. I drive into school and don't even bother glancing at my friends as I head into school. I start looking for Tyler when I bump into the worst person on the world Jacob. "What do you want" I say to him. "I was wondering when I could have another round of the other night" he replies. "You're an ass do you know that. I pushed you off of me and tried to walk away but no you didn't like that! I hate you! You ruined everything for me. I don't like you I never will. You kissed me and I didn't want it. You come near me again and I'll get you done for assault" I shout at him, I turn around and see all my friends staring at me. Jasper has a look of pure rage on his face. Rose and Alice have a sympathetic look on their face while Edward looks guilty. "Bella I..." He tries to say. "Don't even bother Edward. You wouldn't hear me out the other night so why should I listen to you" I say to him and walk off. I find Tyler and cancel our date for tonight which he rearranges for the next week even though I told him no, why can't the people I want to listen to me don't... All day I spend my time avoiding Edward as much as I can. It hurt to know that to get him to believe me I had to basically shout it out in public. He was meant to be my best friend but he wouldn't listen to me when I tried to explain the first time. The rest of the week carried on like that. Avoiding the one person that I was meant to trust through everything and the one I am madly in love with.
