Chapter three
Getting to know you
"Your dad has a what?" Alice asked in shock.
"A brain tumor."
"Chief Swan. Brain Tumor. Oh my god!"
"Why aren't you going to Julliard then?" Edward asked.
I looked down again, "I don't know. I just feel like I should be there for him. He doesn't have that much life in him anymore."
"I'm so sorry, Bella," Alice whispered.
"It's not your fault," I whispered back.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Edward asked.
I shook my head, and muttered, "no."
"Do you want me to take you shopping?" Alice asked.
I looked up at her, "How is that going to help?"
"Alice has an addiction to shopping," Edward explained.
"Oh," I mouthed.
We were all silent for a little bit.
"Do you want to go get some lunch?" Alice asked, breaking the silence.
"Sure," I said.
"Okay," Edward agreed.
We walked over to where Emmett and Rosalie were sitting.
I just still couldn't believe I was here with Edward. His perfect figure, walking right beside me.
"Where did Jasper go, Alice?" Edward asked.
"He went with his father to go get some firewood for tonight," she answered. "You know the big bonfire." She turned to me. "You will love it, Bella! It is so much fun! We all sit on rocks, sing campfire songs, and make smores. But, not everyone stay for the bonfire. Usually it is only our family, Jasper's family, the Black's, the Clearwater's, the Uley's, and the Call's."
"Sounds like fun," I said, with a slight smile.
"And she smiles!" Edward chuckled.
I giggled.
We reached Emmett and Rosalie then.
"Hey, guys," Emmett greeted us.
"Hey," Alice replied.
"And Bella is with us," Emmett said. "Awesome!"
"We came for some lunch," Edward said.
"Then go get some, Edward," Rosalie said.
"We were getting there, Rosalie," he told her back, sternly.
"We will be right back," Alice told them. She turned to us, "Let's go."
"Is Rosalie always like that?" I asked them once we got to the food line.
Alice giggled, "Yup. But, you just need to get to know her. It takes time. If you hang with is for a lot over the summer, I'm sure you, Rosalie, and I will become such great friends."
I smiled.
Maybe summer in Forks won't be so bad, I think I am making new friends.
"So, Bella, what's it like in Phoenix?" Alice asked.
"Eh, it is okay. Its hot there, way different than this place. Here, it is too green. There, it is too hot. I'm not the kind of girl that enjoys watching the rain fall down every fucking day! I'm the girl to sit there and tan, even though that isn't doing anything."
"Yea, why are you so pale?" Alice asked. "You're from Phoenix, so you should be tan, like, all the time!"
I laughed, "That's what everyone says! But, my mom is part albino."
"Oh, true."
"What about you guys? How is it living in Forks?" I asked.
"Forks is too rainy," Edward answered. "I hate living here; it is like living in hell. Why do think I am going to the university out east? Not as much rain. There is snow, and snow I can deal with. And it may rain the odd time. But, it's New York City, man!"
I laughed, "Yea! I have been there a few times. My Aunt Karla would take me shopping there for a weekend a few times when I was in high school."
Alice gasped, "OMFG! Tell me what it is like to shop in New York, Bella! Was it fun! Were the clothes expensive? Did you see Spiderman? Did you see any movies being shot?"
"Let the girl breathe, Alice," Edward said.
Alice smiled, "I'm sorry, Bella. It's just; it is my living dream to go to New York City! I'm just happy I'm going there for University!"
I laughed, "I enjoyed New York. It's nice. And yes, the clothes were expensive. And no, I did not see Spiderman."
"Spiderman, Alice, seriously?" Edward asked her.
Alice stared at him, "What's wrong with Spiderman?"
"Nothing is wrong with Spiderman, Alice," Edward said. "But. Firstly, you don't watch Spiderman. Secondly, Spiderman is a fictional character. And thirdly, you hate superheroes."
"Touché."
Edward smirked.
I looked at the board of food. soda-$1.00 Any desserts $3.00.
hotdogs-$1.99
fries-$1.50
hamburger-$2.99
cheeseburger-$2.99
poutine=$3.99
milkshake-$2.50
What's poutine? I have never heard of it before.
"Alice, what's poutine?"
Alice laughed, "You wouldn't know what poutine is, Bella. You're American. We only have it because we are so close to the Canadian border. Basically all it is, is fries, gravy, and cheese. It is really good! It's from Quebec."
That actually sounds good. I may have to try it out. I never knew Canada had certain types of food and we didn't.
"Does it sound good, Bella?" Alice asked me.
"I'm going to lie, it actually does. Canada has certain food and we don't have it here. I never thought that would happen."
Both Edward and Alice laughed.
"Yea, considering that they steal a lot of our things," Alice agreed.
"But, they do have this restaurant, and we are stealing it from them," Edward said. "It's called Tim Hortons. It is like our Starbucks."
"How do you two know much about Canada?" I asked them.
"We go up to Canada every winter break for New Years," Edward explained. "Every year it varies from different provinces and territories. Last year we were in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. This year we are in Toronto, Ontario."
"I've always wanted to go to Canada," I told them. "The farthest I have ever been in Albuquerque, New Mexico."
Edward raised his eye brows at me, "Really? Only have been in the states. That sucks."
"Yea, it really does suck," I agreed. "Where have you been?"
"We have been to USA, Canada, Mexico, England, Italy, and Austria," Alice answered.
"Alice we went to Greece for out Grad trip, remember?" Edward reminded her.
"Oh, man, I forgot about that one," Alice sighed.
Edward chuckled.
"We go to Canada every year though," Edward added.
"True."
"We will take you to Vancouver for a weekend this summer," Alice told me. "Canada really is a beautiful country."
"Maybe," I said.
"What do you want, Bella?" Edward asked me.
"Poutine," I answered automatically. "I have five bucks I can give you."
Edward looked at me, "Non-sense, Bella. I can pay for you."
"Ha! I knew you were going to say that, Edward!" I told him. "This isn't a date. Therefore, I can pay for myself."
"Yea, but – ''
I sighed, "I'll tell you what. You can pay if you take me out on a date, not saying that would happen, but you have to let me pay today."
Edward looked at me shocked. "Deal. Then let me take you out to lunch tomorrow."
Now I was the one to be shocked. Did Edward Cullen just ask Bella Swan, the girl he has known for an hour, out on a date? "Did you just say what I think you said?"
"What? That I asked you out?" He was now smirking.
"Yea."
"Wait yes that I asked you out, or yes you will go out to lunch with me?" he asked me.
"Yes," I answered. "To both."
His smile grew bigger, "I'll pick you up at twelve tomorrow then."
"Okay."
He smiled again, and held out his hand. "I'm paying for you tomorrow. So, I can have that five bucks if you don't want me to pay."
I laughed, and handed him the five bucks.
"Thank-you, Bella."
I smiled.
Alice leaned over my shoulder, and whispered, "I'll be over at ten so we can get you ready."
For a second I totally forgot that Alice was there, I was too busy flirting with her twin brother.
"Why ten?"
"So that way I have two hours to make you look like perfection," she told me in a duh tone.
"Do you do this to all of his girlfriends?" I whispered to her.
She chuckled. "Edward's ex-girlfriends are retards! I hated them all! There is no way I would help any of them impress my brother. You. You I have a feeling about you. You're something different than he has for in the past."
"Okay, let's go," Edward said, with all of our food.
We all walked back to Rosalie and Emmett with the food in silence. Jasper was there, now, too.
"Jazzy!" Alice squealed and ran to him.
Edward sighed.
"What's wrong?" I asked him.
"It's nothing. I just still don't like my sister's relationship with Jasper," he told me. "I mean I love Jasper, and he is perfect for my sister. I just guess I am being that protective twin brother."
"I know what you mean. Ben is the same way with me, even though he is younger. And, plus, I have never really dated before."
Edward looked shocked, "Really?"
I nodded as we sat down at the picnic table.
"I am going to have to think of a nickname for Miss. Bella here," Emmett announced.
I laughed.
"Why do we need a nickname for me?" I asked.
"Because you are now part of our group, Bella," Alice answered. "Therefore you have to have a nickname. We all have them."
"Yup," Emmett agreed. "I'm Emmy Beary. Rose is Rosie Posie. Alice is Ali Sali. Jasper is Jazzy Fuzzy. Edward is Eddie Teddie. And you, you can be, Belly Delly. No, Bell Sell. Belly Felly. Yea, Belly Felly."
I laughed, "Thanks, Emmett. I love my nickname."
"No problem, Belly Felly."
~!#~
The rest of the afternoon was spent talking with my new friends, hanging out in the water, playing volleyball, and many beach things. It was a blast!
I felt like I have known these people my whole life! Alice was the best friend, Emmett was the older brother, Jasper was the quiet good friend, Rosalie was the gossip friend, and Edward was the boy you had a fling with.
Now the six of us were sitting on a log in a blanket, watching the bonfire become a bonfire. I was sitting in between Edward and Alice.
"We will have loads of fun tonight, Bella!" Alice whispered to me.
Emmett then started the famous campfire song Michael Finnegan,
"There once was a man named Michael Finnegan
He had whiskers on his chin-again
They grew out and then grew in again
Poor old Michael Finnegan-again again!"We kept singing the song over and over again. We also sand many other campfire songs, and before I knew it, Charlie was at my side.
"I think it is time to go, Bells," Charlie said.
"Okay," I said.
"I will meet you at the car, say goodbye," he said.
Charlie walked off, with a sleepy Ben following behind him.
"Well, night guys. It was nice meeting all of you, I had a great time," I told them.
"Remember, Bella, I will be at your house at ten tomorrow," Alice reminded me and giving me a hug.
"I didn't forget, Alice."
"Belly Felly, you are going to join us for a weekly slumber party at our house on Saturday night," Emmett told me, then giving me a hug.
"Kay, Emmy Beary," I laughed.
"I will see you on Saturday, Bella. And we will talk about your date then," Rosalie said, then giving me a hug.
I giggled, "Thanks, Rose."
"Bye, Bella. See you on Saturday," Jasper said.
"Bye, Jasper. See you then."
"I will see you tomorrow, Bella," Edward told me. "I am really looking forward to going out with you. It will be a date you will never forget."
He gave me hug and a kiss on the cheek.
I blushed like a red pepper, and touched my cheek. "Bye."
I turned around to go meet my family at the car.
I got in the car, and we were off.
"Did you have fun with the Cullen's, Bella?" Charlie asked me.
"Oh, yea! They are all really nice, Dad!"
Charlie smiled, "I'm glad to see you are making friends. Did you make plans to see them again?"
"Yea," I stuttered. "Uh, Alice is coming over at ten tomorrow to help me get ready so I can go out to lunch with Edward at noon. And they invited me to a slumber party on Saturday."
"A date?" he asked. I think he totally lost everything I said after I told him I was going on a date. "You're going on a date? You barely know him, Bells."
"I know. But, I just feel something with Edward, you know."
"Yea. Just let me meet the boy before the date tomorrow."
I smiled. "Thank you, Daddy."
"Anytime, Bells. Anytime."
I am so lucky I have such an understanding father. If I had those overprotective fathers like girls have on TV, I would just die. But, my dad is the perfect dad…in a way.
All I had on my mind on the way home was the date with green-eyed gorgeous.
I am like really sorry it is short. But, it has been a busy week!
And I didn't do Edward's point of view. Sorry.
I also want to know if you want me to put in Edward's point of view or just stick with Bella's. Let me know.
I'm leaving for Mexio tomorrow, and it the next chapter won't be updated until the week of the 21st.
But, let me know about the Edward, and I will try to post the next chapter something through that one week.
