Thank you for the reviews. We hadn't had the chance to read through them but we will soon.
Enjoy! (P.S- this chapter isn't edited so we're extremely sorry for the poor grammar errors. We're sort of in a rush and posted this as soon as possible)
Chapter O4: Bring Me Flowers and, Talk for Hours
"The answer is -15+8x3 over x8." Confused, I looked up at the familiar curly blond haired boy I met just yesturday in the hallway. He was sitting at the desk before me. His blue chair angled so that he was facing me. His elbows rested on the corners of my desk.
I looked back at my paper and solved the equation given. Apparently on the first day, we are given reviews to see if we are at the right level of the course. Sighing when I recieved the same answer he spoke I scratched it onto the paper.
"Told you." he smirked. I rolled my eyes and focused on the review again.
Every other student in this room was lucky they could not hear the huffing and puffing coming from this boy sitting in front of me. He played with his hair, changed position in his chair and kept making noises. I felt like screaming but I'd look crazy if I did.
Well even more crazy to be exact.
"-5." he told me when I began the next question. I glared at him seeing the sly smile on his face turn into a smirk.
"Stop." I hissed at him.
"Question 12 is area equals pi times the radius times height squared." he said in a bored, careless tone.
"I know what the area of pi is!" I whispered so silently that only he could hear.
He was holding a piece of paper scanning what was listed onto it. Luckily when a spirit held something, no one other than me could see it. When he set it down on my desk I gasped.
"What the? Put that back!"
"I'm just helping you." he stated in a matter of fact tone.
"I don't want your help!"
"Isabella Swan!" my calculus teacher sneered from the front of the room. My cheeks turned bright red as my head shot up to meet her furious eyes.
I didn't say anything because as soon as she saw that I had her attention she got up from her desk and walked over to mine. Her 3 inch heels made loud dragging noises as it made contact with the floor.
I panicked a little when the blond boy laughed hysterically and disappeared. I looked to the corner of my desk to see the answer sheet still lying there. I reached out for it but I was too late.
Mrs. Martin already snatched it from the edge and her light brown eyes hardened.
"I don't even want to know how on earth you managed to take the answer sheet. Are you not ashamed of what you've done?" she looked at me disappointingly. My classmates stared in shock behind her.
"I- I didn't t-take it!" I stuttered. My cheeks were on fire.
She laughed but not in the friendly way. "Are you telling me it just magically appeared? As if a ghost put it there?"
If only she knew...
"No." I hung my head in defeat. There was nothing I could say to reason with the answer sheet on my desk. If I told her she was correct about the ghost explanation she would probably think I was acting smart ass with her.
"That's what I thought. Now, since it's only the first day of school I'm not allowed to give out detentions," I felt myself sigh in relief. Thank you to whomever made up that rule. "But as your punishment you will write me a five thousand word essay on respect. I expect you to email it with your student account before this period tomorrow morning. Understood?"
I nodded. "Yes Miss."
"Good."
Thankfully the bell rang. I dropped off my review and sped out of the classroom as fast as I could and to my locker.
"I want five laps around the gymnasium! Start now!" Coach Correa yelled, blowing her whistle afterwards.
I groaned. Running wasn't helpful for my poor coordination. I began walking then broke into a jog then eventually started running. Girls in short shorts and tank tops overlapped me at least twice by the time I finished one lap.
I tripped over thin air at least three times already but never actually fell. I was quite proud of myself that I was actually doing great considering how accident prone I am.
It was then when I saw Tanya smiling wikedly that the small smile on my face disappeared. She was standing by my side instantly and then she stuck out her long pale leg making me trip over it and literally flew to the curtain that divided the gym in half. The boys were on the other side.
The curtain fell on top of me when I fell to the ground. I felt something crack but was too distracted to even pay attention.
I could hear laughing from both genders around me. It was dark around me due to the curtain from letting no access of light come through. I mentally screamed in my head because I couldn't actually do it.
The curtain was lifted off of me and the first person I saw was the Coach.
She kneeled down beside me. "Bella are you alright?"
"No!" I groaned trying to get up but I groaned even louder when the pain in my ankle reacted.
"I think you might of sprained your ankle let me take a look." she smiled genuinely at me before lifting my light gray sweats to expose my ankle. She pressed a finger to the spot that hurt the most and I let out a low scream.
"Definitely did. Mike!" she called. I looked at the crowd around me. Snickering occured from their mouths but I paid no mind.
"Yes Coach?" I saw that the blonde boy ran from the other side of the gym.
"Can I get you to take Isabella-"
"Bella." I corrected her.
She nodded. "Can you take Bella to the nurses office? She sprained her ankle."
"Sure thing Coach." he smiled. Then his light blue eyes met my dull brown ones.
"Everyone get back to where you were!" the Coach blew her whistle and everyone obeyed her leaving this boy, Mike, and I alone.
"Can you move?"
I attempted to but the pain was just screaming at me. I shook my head.
He huffed. "Okay I'm going to need to carry you."
Before I could protest I was already in his arms. He carried me bridal style out the gym. I didn't miss the stares from my class or the glares coming from a brunette and a redhead.
Once we exited the building and were outside walking to the main office- where the nurses office was- I began talking.
"You know you don't have to do this." I told Mike. He had on a brilliant smile.
"The Coach asked me to." he shrugged like it was no big deal.
"She didn't order you to carry me. She asked you to help me."
"Same thing."
I remained quiet.
"Look it really is no big deal I don't mind."
"I don't weigh as much as a feather," I mumbled. "I don't want to break your back."
He started laughing.
"Your funny Bella Swan."
"And you're pretty strong Mike considering you can carry me for the longest time." He struggled to open the door of the main office but I let out my hand and opened it for him.
"It was only for two minutes." he chuckled.
"Still." I opened the door to the nurses office again while he carried me. Once we were inside, he placed me on the seat and went up to the nurse.
He spoke quietly to her and she motioned for me to come into the little room. Mike helped me but didn't carry me. He let me limp.
When we got inside Mike was excused. So that left me and the nurse.
"Can I get you to sit on this bed?" I nodded and got up from the chair and limped my way over to the bed.
"Great. Now let's take a look at your ankle." I lifted my sweats for her and she mumbled a "mhm" while nodding. She told me to stay still and that she'd be back.
I just sat there looking at the tiny janitor closet like room. She came back about a minute later with a white bandage and a set of crutches.
I looked at the items in horror.
She bent down to wrap my ankle before handing me the crutches.
"I will schedule an appointment for you in about a week to see how you are doing. I will get my assistant to give you a call. Take care sweetie."
"Thanks." I got up from the bed and back on my feet with the crutches under my arms to support me.
Thanks so much Tanya.
"Oh my God!" When P.E was over I took the elevator up to the second floor where my locker was. Alice was there waiting for me looking horrified as I became nearer.
"What happened?" She opened my locker for me and grabbed my gym bag stuffing it back in.
"As if you don't know." I mumbled to her.
"I know," she half giggled. "I'm just saying it for cover up. There's people staring at us."
Of course. Alice and I had to be extra special about what we say or do. It wouldn't seem normal to others. It was complicated though. I mean, part of our life is just a huge secret that no one wants to believe. It's like I'm living two completely different lives. Bella one is the shy, blushy average american girl and Bella two is an easily irritated mediator who wants nothing to do with her power. But likewise, what can I do? I was born with it.
I grabbed some extra change to purchase lunch at the caf then slammed my locker door shut before limping away with my crutches.
"I saw her coming I just couldn't get out of class." Alice whispered to me. We walked over to the school's elevator and got in after swiping my card. Elevators were only allowed to be accessed to students in situations like me- they couldn't walk up or down the stairs- and were given a little green card.
"Well I don't expect you to. It'd be weird if you randomly came running in to save me. Besides it's just a sprained ankle. I've had worse."
"Just a strained ankle? Bella I know the emergency room is like your first home but still you need to be careful. She could do worse to you Bella. And I'll be watching out. I don't want to lose my big sister."
Did I mention Alice was a grade younger than me?
"For being the last born, you know more about me than I do myself." I admitted to her.
"That's only because I was curious when you first told me. I went online and did a little research."
The elevator dinged- our que to leave. We walked down the wide hallway and out the door heading to the next building where the cafeteria was located.
"And does this essay affect our mall date with the group?" she asked a little too quickly I almost didn't catch that. I could tell she was hoping for a "no". Alice always had to have her way.
"Well it's due first thing tomorrow. I have calculus for homeroom so I don't have a choice."
She was pouting as we stood in the lunch line.
"No it won't Bella. We'll only be there for a couple of hours." she was holding onto my risk jumping up and down like a little girl.
"Alice I don't understand why you're into shopping. It's just clothes."
She looked at me, bewildered. "Repeat?" she said in a threatening tone. I backed away about an inch or five.
"Nothing." I mumbled. "I didn't say anything."
"That's what I thought. Now, I already spoke to Jasper. We are taking Emmett's car and mine. Three of us will go in Emmett's and the rest in mine. Who do you want to ride with?"
I shrugged grabbing one of the black trays from the little pile, sliding it against the metal bar. "I don't know. Does it matter?"
"Next!" the lunch lady called out. Alice stepped ahead and ordered a garden salad and lemonade. The lunch lady smiled and placed it on her tray. Alice skipped off to the cash register.
"Next!"
"Small poutine and a coke please." The school's poutines were amazing, I hear.
Alice carried my food since I needed both hands. We walked out of the servery and were soon called out by a booming voice.
"He has our lunch?"
"Apparently."
Alice and I joined Emmett at the empty table. We sat down on the blue chairs and I began picking at my food.
"So eat lunch alone Emmett?" Alice giggled.
"No." he glared. "My friends were here before. They left to buy some food."
Alice nodded still not buying it.
"Anyway, are we still hitting the mall after school?" for a guy, he seemed pretty excited. I shot Alice a questioning look.
"Emmett's favourite store is Victoria Secrets." Alice hinted. I let out a soft "oh" and jabbed my fork into a few fries and popped them into my mouth while Emmett chuckled.
"Especially when Rose is modeling-"
"Emmett shut up! Too much information!" Alice was laughing covering her ears. I couldn't help but giggle.
"So Bella I see your on crutches," Emmett pointed to the devils leaning against my chair. "On your first day to. Wow that's a record."
I scolded at him. "It was an accident." Actually, it was a blonde devil who goes by the name of Tanya.
His booming laughter literally shook the table. "Gym?"
I nodded. "Figures." I heard him mumble. I wasn't offended in any way but angry that the fact I was on crutches was because Tanya decided to play a little game with me.
I usually got even with a spirit who irritated me and I was positive I wanted to do so with Tanya.
"What time are we leaving?"
"We'll leave once we drop off our bags and get our cars. Mine should be here by the time school ends." she was squealing in her seat. Luckily her hyperness was not contagious.
"Let's make this trip a little fun." Emmett grinned. Alice and I straightened up in our seats ready to here what Emmett was planning. "Since the six of us are parting in two cars, I say we have teams. We'll have a race to the mall and into Victoria Secrets. Winning team gets to chose a lingerie outfit for the losing team. Losing team has to try it on and pose for pictures."
I was blushing. "I'm not modeling anything."
"Aw come on Bella. Where's the fun in that? I think it would be hilarious. Just picture the boys in lingerie."
Okay that was funny. Just seeing Emmett dancing around in a hot pink thong. Oh God, get away Bella! "I guess." However I was self consious when it came to just wearing a bra set.
"Great." Emmett's grin became so wide. "I call dibs on making teams!" he shouted out but to a tone only Alice and I can here.
"Aw I wanted to pick teams!"
Emmett stuck his tongue out childly. "Na na na boo boo! Too bad." Alice slouched in her seat and crossed her arms. "Okay Team A will be me, Alice and Jasper. Team B will be Bella, Rose and Edward."
"Deal!" Alice clapped her hands together. Obviously she was looking forward to this. "And I get to take the losers for a hell shopping spree!"
I groaned. Alice and shopping I learned was number on on the "avoid from doing" list. Emmett having experience shook his head in laughter. "Alright deal."
We all shook hands and now the others had no choice but to go along with it. I sat back in my seat after enjoying my small poutine. The rest of the lunch period was spent getting to know Emmett and the many other things Alice enjoys doing. She was already planning on dragging us down to the beach on Friday.
I guess having a preppy, outgoing sister, your life would be filled with busy weekends filled with shopping, parties and hanging out.
I walked into biology recieving a stare from about thirty pairs of eyes. I shook a little nervously and walked over to my biology teacher, Mr. Molina. He gave me a look that screamed 'detention!' but on the first day, detentions weren't allowed to be given out and I was thankful for that.
"Your late." he told me. As if I didn't know already.
I pointed to the crutches resting under my arms and then looked at the clock. "By five minutes."
He let out an irritated sigh and wrote something down on a piece of paper. Probably marking me late on the attendance sheet. "I'll let it go this time since it is the first day and because you're on crutches." his eyes darted to the classroom. "Take the available seat next to Mr. Cullen."
Cullen.
I nodded and walked over to the lab desk. Edward smiled and helped me on my seat, taking my crutches and supporting me. "Thanks."
"Your welcome."
"As I was saying," the teacher cleared his throat to get my attention. "I will be handing out a biology review. It's everything you have learned from your junior and sophmore year. Please hand it in at the end of the period." he passed around the three page review. When he slid mine and Edward's he gave me another one of his looks. I shuddered.
I looked down at my paper seeing the first page was multiple choice. I took out a pencil from my pencil case and began circling letters.
From the corner of my eye I swear Edward glanced at me every now and then. Today he wasn't wearing his contacts. Personally, I liked both green and gold on him. It suited him very well. His mother was right.
Shaking thoughts about his eye colour out of my mind, I focused back on the review.
"How did you find the review?" Edward asked as soon as the bell rang. He helped me off the chair again and grabbed my crutches for me. He also carried my book bag.
"You don't have to do that." I told him after I handed him my paper. "And it was fine."
"Bella look at you. You don't have an extra hand to help you. What kind of gentleman would I be if I let you struggle?"
"True but still."
"You did not mention you had biology fourth." we walked side by side down the long busy hallway.
"I said them in order." I quickly ran through the conversation during dinner with Alice.
"I must have missed that then. So I assume you have drama next?"
I nodded. "Do you mind if I walk you there?"
I wasn't sure if it was safe to. With Tanya hot on my trail. "Um, I guess." I didn't want to let him down again.
We walked to the elevator going down to the second floor where my locker was. He kindly opened it for me and took out my drama binder after replacing my biology books on the shelf.
"Aren't you going to go to your locker?"
"I have gym. I just need to grab my bag." he shrugged like it was no big deal. I felt bad if I was the reason he arrived late.
"Oh okay."
"So crutches on your first day?" he smiled crookedly. I looked up at him, embaressed.
"Emmett said the same thing."
He laughed. "Go figure. I'm guessing gym had to something to do with it."
"How does everyone know?" I groaned.
"So am I right?"
"Unfortunately."
He chuckled but I didn't mind. I liked hearing the sound of his voice. I could listen to him speaking or laughing all day.
"Here you are," he opened the door labelled '213'. "I'll see you after school."
"Thanks. You too."
And this time, I wasn't late. Thank God.
"How is this going to work?" Rosalie groaned frusteratingly once we got into the car and buckled out seatbelts. I was in the back while Edward and Rosalie were in the front. "Bella can't run! We'll never make it! And I don't want to pose half naked!"
Edward started his car- we took his instead of Emmett's monster truck- and pinched the bridge of his nose. "You are quite insane if you think I would enjoy posing for the camera in a bra and a thong."
I felt guilty. I was going to be the blame if we lost.
"Who thought about this anyway?"
"Emmett." I told her. She scoffed.
"I should have known."
"I have a plan." Edward smiled but didn't speak when he rolled down his window. Alice's bright yellow porshe was next to Edward's shiny volvo. Jasper rolled down his window. You could hear Emmett chanting in the back.
"Okay, on the count of three we leave at the same time. 1!" Edward reved the engine," 2! 3!" and with that, both cars sped off. I gripped onto the edges of my seat hanging on for dear life. Edward drove like a maniac.
"Okay here's our plan. Bella when we enter the mall, unbuckle your seatbelt" I gulped. Hopefully he wouldn't be driving fast that time. "Rose get ready to leap out. I will park the car and help Bella out and we'll run to Victoria's Secret with Bella on my back. Now which enterance is closer to this store?"
"Edward I'm not your average backpack." I noticed he sped up faster when the lights turned yellow. I looked back seeing Alice stopped at the light. Rosalie started giggling when she realized we were in the lead.
He chuckled. "Don't be silly Bella."
"Okay I see the mall," Well that was fast. "Take a right and go to the south enterance. The store is on the second level and there's an escalator right at the enterance so it shouldn't be a problem."
He nodded, his jaw tensed. "Ready?" he looked at her.
She nodded and unbuckled her seatbelt. Edward slowed down once we entered the parking lot and Rosalie hopped out of the car with it still moving. Edward turned into the nearest spot near the doors and was out of the driver's seat in a heartbeat. He came to the passanger side and wrapped his arm under my knee lifting me out of my seat bridal style. He then sat me on the trunk of his car and turned around.
"Wrap your arms around my neck." I was about to protest when suddenly the sound of Emmett's laughter startled me. I nodded and obeyed him immediately. Rose grabbed her purse and started running with Edward next to her.
I closed my eyes tightly. Usually when I was travelling at a fast pace, I became dizzy and a bit nauseated. The door flew open and Rosalie held both doors for us. She and Edward jogged up the escalator. Edward gripped onto the back of my knees tighter when I squeezed his neck a bit too hard.
"It's okay Bella. We're almost there."
"I see it!" Rose chanted. "I see it!"
And then, we came to a stop.
"Bella open your eyes." And the first thing I saw was a poster of a model hanging behind the window. Rosalie looked at her cellphone's clock.
We saw Emmett and Jasper- with Alice on his back- climbing up the stairs. Edward and Rosalie laughed. "It's about time!" she yelled out.
"Emmett you big dummy!" Alice glared. "If it weren't for you giving me directions to the nearest enterance we could have been here first if you listened to me!"
"Sorry!" Emmett smiled sheepishly. "I could have sworn they moved the location."
"Well we learned one thing, never trust Emmett."
"Also," Edward cleared his throat. "Emmett don't make a bet if you know you're going to lose. It doesn't help."
"We didn't know." Alice said and then winked at me. Of course she knew.
"Well come on!" Rose pointed to the store. "Boys, Alice. Get ready for this."
And then we entered the store that would most likely become my favourite just because the greatest memories would forever be known here.
"Oh my gosh! I love this one!" Alice laughed even harder as we took a look at the last picture taken at Victoria's Secret before the manager kicked us out. Well she thought it was pretty funny but told us they would have to wash whatever Emmett and Jasper wore with extra care afterwards.
It was a picture of Emmett in a hot pink thong and a matching hot pink leopard push up. He stuffed it with tissue paper from the display. Jasper had on a red night gown and white and red fuzzly slippers. Alice was dressed as a queen as the two of them bowed down to her. And let me tell you, Emmett's view was not pretty to look at.
"I can't believe I did that." Jasper shook his head disappointingly.
"That was awesome!" However, Emmett loved the idea.
"Please don't show this to anyone." Jasper begged. Alice and Rose smiled at him deviously.
"We won't Jazzy." But from the sound of Alice's tone, I feared for Jasper.
Edward came back with a double scoop of cookie dough ice-cream. He sat beside me on the squared sofas and offered me a lick.
"Sure." As I was leaning closer to the ice-cream I backed away when the cold dairy product made contact with the new sweater Alice bought me. I stared past him in disbelief when I heard the familiar blonde boy laughing hysterically.
"Oh man, that's a good one! I hope your sister doesn't mind. How much did she say that sweater was again? Over a hundred?"
I shot him a glare but Edward mistakened it for him. "I'm absolutely sorry about that Bella."
"Are you?" the boy whispered in Edward's ear and then disappeared. What did I ever do to him?
"It's fine. Don't worry about it." I grabbed the napkins from beside me and started wiping it off with Edward helping me.
"Bella!" Alice joined us. "Gah! My sweater! I mean yours!"
"I'm sorry Alice. I know you spent a lot of money on it, I'm really sorry."
"It's okay," she sighed. "We can wash it. It'll be good as new."
"Let me buy you another one." Edward suggested. I shook my head but that didn't change his mind. "Consider this as an early Christmas gift. After all, I was the one who recked it."
"Edward seriously you don't have to buy me a new one."
"I don't have to," he agreed. "But I want to. Please?" he looked at me from under his long eyelashes. His green eyes were like a deep puddle of mysteries.
"Fine." How could I say no to a face like that?
Alice grinned. "Great. The rest of us are going to that new store that just opened up so we'll give you a call so we can meet up again. Bye!" she skipped off to the group and left with them leaving Edward and I alone.
He placed me on his back again. There was no way I could protest since I did leave my crutches in the car.
"Which store are we going to?" he asked me.
"Alice told me it's TNA. From Aritzia."
He nodded. "I know where that is. Alice and Rose always go there."
"Lead the way then." I smiled.
"Thanks for the sweater." The extremely expensive sweater, I should say. Though the design was nice and colourful. No matter what, it was still overpriced.
"I had a great time today." Edward told me as we stood in my doorway.
"Me too," I haven't had such a good time in years. "I'll see you tomorrow I guess and I hope I didn't break your back."
He just laughed and waved goodbye to me. I shut the door and threw the bag into my room. I looked around for Jacob.
"Hey."
"Hi Jacob, do you have a laptop or computer I could use?" I looked at the clock to see how much time I had to write it. I normally go to bed at 11. Right now it was 7. I had four hours to write a five thousand word essay. Well I guess it wasn't so hard.
"Nope. Sorry. You could try the library but I think they're closed now."
"Oh alright it's fine. I'll go try Alice."
"Will you be back in time for dinner?" he grinned, pausing the game on his PS3.
"I already ate." That's why we took so long. "Why?"
"I was planning on ordering in."
"You don't need to order in for me. Just get enough for yourself."
"Alright. I'll see you later."
I waved to him and shut the door making my way to the elevator. It took me longer than usual though with this sprained ankle and all.
I was surprised I hadn't seen Tanya since the accident. I wondered what she was doing.
"Hey Alice can I borrow your laptop?" I knocked on her door when Edward let me in. She opened it and handed the hot pink laptop to me. Of course it would be pink.
"Yeah but it only works in the living room and kitchen." I frowned. I would have to spend all night here then. I looked to see her all dressed up in a sweater dress and leggings.
"Going somewhere?"
"Just hanging out with Emmett, Rose and Jas. I was going to invite you but you kept speaking about your essay. I hope you don't mind."
"I wouldn't go either way. I need to work on this."
"Okay well I'll see you later. Help yourself to anything. Bye!" she hugged me before dancing out of her dorm.
I left one of my crutches in her room with just one supporting me so I could carry the laptop to the kitchen counter. Edward was there making himself a little snack.
"Let me help you with that." he took the laptop and set it on the marble counter for me. I mumbled a 'thanks' and sat on the tall black seat.
"Homework?"
"Yeah I have to write an essay."
"An essay? What for?"
"Calculus."
"You have to write essays for math?" he cocked his head to the side. Obviously he's never been given one instead of a detention.
I turned on the laptop and straightened it. "No it's just well instead of being given a detention my teacher gave me an essay."
"Detention? What for?"
I was blushing again. He sure was curious. I don't think I've ever had such a long conversation with anyone before. Besides my therapists and homeschool teachers. "Um, I was late for class." I was such a horrible liar but thank God he bought it.
"That must be a real kick in the derrier." he smiled. "Goodluck."
"Thanks. I'll need it." he left me alone in the kitchen and I began jotting down notes and points to write about.
I tapped my fingers on the counter making loud ticking noises. I eventually got my hands to work on the keyboard and words started appearing on the blank screen.
This was going to be a long night.
"How about a game of twenty questions?" Edward eventually got bored of the T.V and came to me for entertainment. I didn't mind. I was finishing up my concluding paragraph.
I had already reached five thousand words and was surprised I was still typing.
"Okay you go first and then I ask a question after." Though my mind was concentrated on the keyboard.
"Okay... why did you move here?" Well that was random.
"I lived with my dad and Alice lived with my mom. Our parent's are divorced." Normally I didn't like talking about my personal buisness but with Edward I felt like I could trust him.
He nodded. I thought about something I would like to ask him when Tanya appeared in my mind. "Any relationships?" he poured a cup of coffee and slid it to my side.
"None." he said flatly.
"Never?" I was surprised.
He shook his head. "Never."
"Wow."
"How about you?"
"Same as you." he looked a little unconvinced though.
"So why did you decided to live with your mother and Alice?"
I suddenly didn't feel like talking about this subject anymore. I didn't answer at first. I typed out my last sentence and sat back in my chair taking a sip of my coffee.
I was finally done.
"I suppose this is a touchy subject." he said quietly.
"Yes Bella, do tell us about the misunderstanding between you and Belinda." Tanya sat on the counter beside the laptop. Her legs crossed and her hand rested underneath her chin.
I shivered. Tanya's attention was directed to the laptop. She then tiped over my coffee mug and it spilled all over Alice's laptop. The screen went blank and I let out a low scream. My essay wasn't saved.
Edward got up and immediately started wiping down the keyboard with a towel.
"Oh my God!" I screamed in frusteration and then looked to an amused Tanya. I only glared at her seeing there was nothing else I could do with Edward here.
Tanya fake gasped. "Oh my, did I do that? Oops. My bad."
Now she was just taking it too far.
"I think I'm going to go now." I told Edward.
"Bella we can fix this. I'm sure it's saved onto it."
I shook my head. "I didn't save it."
"I shouldn't have distracted you. I'm sorry." Why was he always apologizing?
"It's not your fault. I have to go. Thanks for keeping me company." and then I bolted out the door with the help of my crutches.
"How could you!" I screamed at Tanya once I entered my room.
"I warned you Bella but you never listened."
"I'm not going after Edward!" I yelled again. "I don't like him!"
"Sure. That's why you let him carry you around at the mall today right? And the fact that he bought you a sweater, oh the look on your face said it all. And the way you smile whenever you're around him. Don't think because I'm dead, I can't see the obvious looks."
"I. Don't. Like. Him!" I growled through my teeth. She pulled her head back in laughter. But it wasn't a musical, joyous laugh.
"Good."
"You know what? I'm so tired of this! First you put me on crutches and now you erase my essay? That's it! I'm going to stay away from Edward, are you happy?"
She smiled. "That's all I wanted."
"Okay well you can have it your way! I'm done with this. What do you want from me?"
But she disappeared before she even heard my sentence.
The question that always haunted me never had a chance to come out. Did Tanya and Edward have a connection?
God I hope I find out soon.
Okay so for those of you who read our other story "A Whole New World", keep on the look out because we have something special coming your way :)
So, what did you think? Was the chapter too long? Review please :)
