Chapter 4
Bella's POV
"Hey Edward." I said when I walked into Wal-Mart after school; today had been the worst day of my life! First Edward said that he just wanted to be friends, and then I got ice cream smeared on to the front of my shirt. Edward was sitting in McDonalds, he must have been on break, and he looked up and was shocked when he saw me.
"Bella, are you okay?" he asked
"No, today was the worst day of my life!" I yelled and people started looking around at me.
"Bella, calm down and lower your voice." Edward said.
"No! I got ice cream smeared on the front of my shirt because I told Lisa that I had lost the bet!" I yelled at him and he never looked up at me.
"Poor dear, she must be dating him." I heard someone say at the table behind us, I rolled my eyes. I wanted to date him but I couldn't.
"Bella, why did you come here? To yell at me?" he said, I sighed and sat down.
"I don't know. I just needed someone to yell at." I said, he got up and grabbed my hand; I could feel myself blushing, and made me get up with him.
"Bella, if you ever need someone to yell at it just come to me and I will let you yell at me all you want." He said still holding my hand.
"Thanks, Edward." I said then gave him a hug and left. On my way out I saw my friend Jake.
"Hi Jake." I said and waved.
"Hey Bella, what's up?" he said and came over to me.
"Nothing much you?" I said.
"I got a girlfriend now." He said, I was so happy Jake was like my big brother, it was no secret he had a crush on me.
"Oh really! Who is she?" I said.
"Her name's Samantha."
"Samantha? That's a pretty name. What's she like?"
"She's very intelligent and got a great personality"
"Are you dating a dog?" I asked and Jake got offended. "Jake, I was kidding. I'm happy for you. I have to go I'm cooking dinner tonight." I said and walked off. I lived only a few blocks from Wal-mart so I got to my house in about 10 minutes.
"Hey Charlie!" I called when I walked in. he was sitting in the living room watching basketball.
"Hey Bella." he said never looking up.
"Are you hungry?" I asked and he nodded. "I'm going to get dinner started." I said then walked into the kitchen and got the box of Lasagna out and put it into the microwave. I grabbed my bag and placed it onto the table and took out my homework. I looked at my shirt again and figured that I should probably change before Charlie become observant.
I went to my room and grabbed my old blue shirt and a pair of pants; I went back down and checked on the Lasagna, sat down and worked on English. I was having to read Romeo and Juliet and it was very hard because every single things that Romeo did reminded me of Edward. When I heard the microwave go off meaning the Lasagna was done, I jumped up and pulled it out.
"DAD!" I called and Charlie came walking in complaining about the game.
"Stupid refs. They never call anything fair." I shook my head and took my bag and things off the table. I grabbed some plates and served the Lasagna.
"Hey dad, I can go to the dance this Friday right?" I asked, I was pretty sure he would let me but I wanted to make sure.
"Yeah, sure, sleepover at someone's house if you want to. Who are you going with?" I sighed I couldn't stand it when Charlie went to the subject of Boys.
"Um… I don't know yet." I said. I really couldn't tell him that I was hoping a 22-year-old guy would ask me to the dance. "Dad I saw Jake today and he has a girlfriend now." I stated Charlie was always interested in Jake.
"That's good." He said; he seemed distracted by something.
"Dad what's got you distracted?" I said when I was putting the plates up.
"Your mom called, she thinks you should spend the summer with her." I sighed, but didn't say anything. My mom lived in Texas where it was always hot. The weather was always changing. No matter what my mom always wanted me to spend the summer with her.
"I don't know." I said, "I'm going to go to my room and do my homework." I grabbed my bag and walked up the stairs.
When I got to my room and I grabbed my copy of Romeo and Juliet. I tried concentrating but still everything reminded me of Edward. If I asked Charlie how he knew he was in love with mom, he would ask what boy I liked. So I decided to call my mom long distance.
"Mom, it's Bella. Um… I have a question." I started.
"Bella! Sweetheart, are you wondering when I want you up for the summer vacation?" she asked and I was nervous.
"No mom, when did you know you were in love?" I asked and on the other end was silence.
"Who do you like?" my mom finally asked.
"Well there is this one guy, but he's way older than me! He's 22; he thinks of me as a kid. But I'm pretty sure that I love him." I paused to let her say something.
"Bella, he is a little old for you isn't he?"
"But mom when he puts his hand on me my heart tries to come out of my chest." I heard something on the other end.
"Bella, I gotta go. Bye!" she hung up and I went back to reading.
Wednesday (A/N: yes I skipped Tuesday!)
Bella's POV
"Bella, did you do your English homework?" Cassie asked me as we walked to 5th period English.
"Oh we were supposed to read Romeo and Juliet right?" I asked, I had started but I didn't finish.
"Yes. Bella you always do your homework. Why not this time?"
"Well I started but I didn't finish because every time I read something about Romeo it reminded me of Edward the simplest thing would remind me of him." By this time we were in Mr. Davis's class.
"Bella, I trust you did your report on Romeo and Juliet." Mr. Davis said, I was his prize student.
"Um…. well about that, I didn't do it." I said and Lisa walked in holding something.
"Hello Mr. Davis I have this for Bella." she announced and handed it to me. "Thanks for letting me copy!" I couldn't believe it; this was low even for Lisa.
"Bella Swan, Office!" Mr. Davis yelled. I had never been sent to the office or anything in my life.
"But Mr. Davis I didn't even do my homework." I said but he took Lisa's side. I glared at her then walked to the office where they were surprised to see me.
"Ms. Swan, we didn't call you." I explained what happened and they couldn't believe it. "You are not the type to let other people copy your homework. Are you and Ms. Lisa in some sort of a fight?"
"Mrs. T me and Lisa have been enemies since 5th grade, and well she made a bet with me that I could get Edward, Alice and Jasper's older brother, to ask me to the dance this Friday, well I lost and she's making this week horrible for me." I said and Mrs. T shook her head.
"Kids these days, can't get along." She said then went back to her computer I stayed in the office for the rest of the period reading and doing my homework. When the bell rang I grabbed my stuff and ran out to find Cassie.
"Bella, it was horrible without you in English! How could he seriously believe that you let Lisa cheat?" Cassie asked me when I got there.
"I don't know. I've always been Mr. Davis's prize student. He really believes I would let Lisa cheat?"
"I know right, come on before she see's you." We hooked arms and went down the hall to our next class, Cassie had Spanish and I had Geometry. I was never any good at Geometry.
"Hug!" Cassie called before she left, she gave me a quick hug and left for Spanish I went the opposite direction and went to Geometry, luckily I had this period with Alice.
"Hi Alice." I said when I walked in, she looked up from a note that she was reading and smiled.
"Hi Bella!" she called, and gave me a quick hug.
"What are you reading?" I asked I was too nosy.
"A note from…." It sounded like she was going to say Jasper but she changed it. "Edward." She smiled up at me.
"Oh really?" I said, I think my voice sounded to hyper.
"Yep, he said that he wants you to spend the night this Friday!" she said and I remembered what Charlie had said last night. 'You can spend the night at someone's house.'
"Oh, okay." I said and sat down next to her.
At the end of the day I decided to go straight home I went into my room and changed clothes and took a nap. I looked at a picture by my bed of my mom holding me in her arms when I was 7. Things had changed so much since then, I was no longer with my mom, I was no longer carefree, now I was in love and grown. I closed my eyes and dreamt about Edward, how perfect we were together how much we did look like a couple. A perfect couple.
