Chapter four
When they left the dorm, Alice turned to Rosalie,"Can i drive? Please?"
"Sure, i guess you want to show your car off to Bella." Rosalie replied with quick smile in Bella's direction. Alice gave a squeal of delight and led the way to a bright yellow Porsche 911. Bella's mouth opened in surprise at such an extravagant car. Alice walked up to the door and started to stroke it,"Do you like it? It's my baby."
"It's beautiful. I love it." Alice's smile then became impossibly bigger, she turned round and unlocked the car and Rosalie let Bella sit in the front of the car. The ride to a nearby restaurant took less time than Bella had anticipated, mainly due to Alice's driving which had Bella clinging to the door handle in fright. Rosalie didn't seem phased by the speed, which made Bella suspicious that she drove at this speed as well. When they pulled up to the a small but posh looking restaurant they pulled up alongside an Aston martin Vanquish which Bella could only stare at the gorgeous black car that was parked alongside of them. Alice saw where Bella was staring, "Like it? It's Edwards pride and joy." Bella turned her shocked face to Alice. "Someone our age owns that?"
"Yep Edward's our best friend. Now come on, if i know Emmett he'll be whining about being hungry." It was Rosalie who replied this time and Bella quickly scrambled out to allow Rosalie to clamber out the back. Bella was still stunned by the car that was now identified as belonging to Edward. Alice and Rose didn't give her a chance to look at it close up as they both grabbed one of her arms, causing her to wince in pain again, and drag her to the door of the restaurant. She hadn't looked at the restaurant as she had been admiring the car but she now glanced at it as she was dragged through the doors, it was simply decorated in black and red and yet although it was simple it still looked elegant. "The boys have already gotten us a table, we just need to find them." Stated Alice while finally letting go of Bella's arm.
"Finally, took you long enough I'm starving." Boomed a large voice from a corner of the restaurant. Rose gave Bella a knowing look before striding towards a table with three guys seated around it. Since that night Bella had never noticed a guy's looks but it did register with her that all three had movie star looks that every girl at the school must love. "Bella this loudmouth here is my boyfriend Emmett." Rose had sat down at the empty seat next to the large guy, he had curly blonde hair and was well muscled. While Alice had sat between the other two guys, but she was leaning against the one sat on the other side of Rose. He was tall and lean but muscled, nowhere near as much as Emmett but it was clear. The third guy had bronze coloured hair, he was tall possible about 6"2 and was clearly one to work out. "This is my boyfriend Jasper and this is our friend Edward. Guys this is our new roommate Bella." They all nodded at her before turning to the menus that had been placed in front of them. Bella made her way over to the only available seat between Emmett and Edward. She also glanced at the menu and decided to have a prawn cocktail. When they had all ordered, they all started talking and asking Bella questions, Jasper was the first one to ask her a question, "So Bella, what brings you to boarding school?"
"Oh, ummm my parents and i decided i needed something new and boarding school was their answer."
They all smiled nicely at her and continued to ask casual questions which was cut short by the food arriving. While eating Bella's phone started to ring, so excusing herself she glanced at her phone to see it was Cassie. "Hey Cass, what's going on?"
"Well, I don't know whether i should tell you this but i punched someone at school today on behalf of you." Bella could tell that Cassie was worried about how this would affect Bella and how she would react.
"What did they say to you to make you punch them?" Bella was hoping that her voice was reassuring enough that Cassie would tell her what had happened.
"Well i was walking to my English lesson when one of the stupid cheerleaders stepped in my way and wouldn't let me pass. So i started to get angry even before she opened her big mouth and i tried to push past her. Instead of just letting me go she grabs my arm and then opens her big mouth. So i punched her." She was reluctant to say what the girl had said and Bella could tell that there was more to the story. "Cass, what did she say, i need to know?"
"Ok, she said, so where's that Emo slut your always hanging out with, is she crying in the bathroom or has she finally saved us all a bother and killed herself. I wasn't taking that so i punched her. Bella? Are you Ok?"
"I'm Ok Cass but theres more to this story than your telling me."
"Your going to hate me when i tell you what i replied to that air-head." This shocked Bella and she couldn't reply for a minute. When she was able to regain her composure, "Cass there is never anything you could do that would make me hate you, so please tel me what happened after that."
"Well, i kind of, sort of, told her where you were."
"What's the big deal about that, it's not like she's here?"
"Well, later on Angela told me that the girl had a cousin, at your boarding school."
"Oh."
"I knew i shouldn't have told you. Please don't hate me? Are you going to be Ok."
"Yes, I'm going to have to call you tomorrow, I'm at dinner at the minute with my new roommates. But Cass?"
"Yes Bella?"
"Don't blame yourself for what's going in my life and i don't hate you. For you especially I'm going to try and get better. I miss you and I'll speak to you tomorrow."
"Ok, see you." When she was sure that Cassie had put the phone down, she closed her phone and lean t against the wall by the bathrooms, which is where she had stopped to take the call.
"Are you ok?" The voice that asked was familiar. When Bella turned round she could see that it was Edward stood there.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just missing my friend."
"Not to be nosy, but what did you mean when you said get better, are you ill?" This simple sentence stunned Bella and she couldn't answer for a minute. "No, I'm fine. Just a minor problem to do with back home."
"Ok,well Alice and Rose were getting a bit worried because you were so long, i came to find you. There all finished eating, were you ready to go?"
"yes, definitely." Bella needed time to think and after that conversation with Cassie she needed to get to her box in the bathroom.
