One Week Later
Bella POV
I looked out the window and sighed. We were driving too fast for me to see anything. Edward looked at me.
"Bella are you okay?" he asked. I smiled.
"Yeah, it's not like I'm never going to see Todd and Claire again" I told him. He leaned over and kissed the top of my head.
"That's my tough little Bella" he told me. I sighed and leaned against the car seat. I thought back to when I told Claire and Todd I was moving.
Flashback:
"Hey guys, I have to tell you something…" I said sadly.
"What's up B?" Claire asked looking up from her homework.
"We're moving" I said simply. Why beat around the bush? Claire and Todd stared at me with gaping mouths.
"WHAT!?!" they shouted.
"Yeah we're going to Chicago but don't worry, it's only for three years…" I said as I tried to sooth them.
"We'll miss you B" Todd said sadly. Claire nodded before smiling.
"Come on, let's make the best of our time left together" she giggled.
"Good idea" I replied.
End of Flashback
We had fun together for the last week before we left. Edward and I arrived in Chicago about three hours later because of the Cullens' crazy driving. Edward and I were in one car, and everyone else drove in separate cars so they could race each other, except for Esme of course.
The house we were going to live in was just as large as our house in Forks. I wondered who Ali saw being my best friend. Are they a boy or a girl? I looked at Ali.
"Ali when do I meet my 'best friend'?" I asked. She smiled.
"Two days" she told me. That meant I would meet him/her on Monday. I went inside.
"Hey Ali, wanna go shopping?" I asked after I set up my room. I heard Ali scream from some part of the house. Edward walked in.
"You interrupted her Alice/Jasper alone time" he told me. I gasped.
"She's not mad is she?" I asked. Ali hopped into my room.
"Of course not Bella, I'll take any excuse to go shopping" she said. I giggled and off we went. On Monday morning, I went to the middle school I was signed up for. I am in sixth grade. Carlisle dropped me off in his black Mercedes before going to work. I blew him a kiss and walked inside the school, into my first class. The teacher told me to sit down in a seat. I sat down and the kid next to me turned to look at me.
"Hey I'm Jason" the boy said. He had brown hair and green eyes. He was sort of handsome.
"Hi I'm Bella Cullen" I told him. His eyes widened.
"The vampire Cullens?" he asked me in a whisper. I frowned.
"What are you talking about?" I asked him acting confused.
"My parents were vampires too before they were killed by a coven of human-drinking vampires" he whispered. My eyes widened.
"Oh, you poor thing, who are you living with?" I asked him.
"I live alone but I survive on the billions of dollars my parents left in their bank accounts" he told me.
"Are you a vampire?" I asked him. He shook his head.
"No I'm human" he told me. I nodded and was about to say something but the teacher interrupted me.
"If you aren't too busy talking Miss Cullen, can you tell me the answer to number ten?" the teacher asked me. I glanced at the board.
"Twenty" I told him. He looked surprised and murmured I was right. All the students in the class were staring at us.
"Why is everyone staring?" I whispered. He chuckled.
"Because I don't normally socialize with anyone" he whispered back. The teacher cleared his throat and we stopped talking. We had all our classes together so we talked the whole day. At lunch I called Ali who giggled and told me it was great I met Jason. Jason decided to come to my house with me.
Em actually took a really big liking to him because he was really good at video games. Edward did not seem to like him as much as he could and neither did Ali. It was pretty weird. We were best friends for a year. One day, when we walked into school, I saw a poster. It said cheerleading try-outs tomorrow afternoon. I nudged Jason.
"What do you think Jay? Should I try out for cheerleading?" I asked. He laughed.
"Yeah right Izzy. You're way too sweet to be a cheerleader" he told me. He decided to give me a nickname that others didn't so he called me Izzy. I shrugged when he told me. That day after school, Em came up to me and Jason.
"So Bella, I hear you wanna be a cheerleader" he chuckled. I frowned.
"Where'd you hear that?" I asked.
"Alice saw a vision and I just wanted to tell you… YEAH RIGHT HA-HA-HA THAT'S SO FUNNY!!!! YOU AS A CHEERLEADER HA-HA-HA" Em laughed loudly. I got angry. Why does everyone think I can't be a cheerleader? Now I want to be a cheerleader. I told everyone I was staying late after school with Jason.
I told Jason my plan and he chuckled but didn't say anything. Ali knew but she winked at me to show she understood. Jason and I walked into the gym. There were a bunch of girls already there. I sat down on the bleachers as the cheerleaders flocked Jason. He was a lacrosse player so apparently he was "cool". He ignored them and sat down. They got sad but started the try-outs.
"Okay, now we're going to show you some moves and then you'll try to copy them best you can" a girl told us. I think her name was Sarah… They started the music and started to cheer. It didn't look too hard because Heidi had made me take gymnastics when I was living with the Volturi. I followed what the cheerleaders did and at the end of try-outs, they called out who made the team.
"Grey…Sanders…McArthur…and…Cullen" I squealed and Jason spun me around.
"I never doubted you Izzy" he told me. I laughed while the other girls stared at me wistfully. I took the uniform and left. Edward came to pick me up. He looked sad.
"What's wrong Edward?" I asked him after Jason and I climbed into the car. Jason practically lives at our house.
"Why didn't you tell me you wanted to be a cheerleader?" he asked.
"I didn't want anyone to know and I only did it cause' everyone told me I couldn't" I told him. He looked better and he grinned. Jason was sitting in the back seat, holding in his laughter.
"Congratulations on making the team" Edward told me as he kissed my head. I thanked him and we drove home. Rose was on the front porch with Ali and Esme and they were all jumping up and down. As soon as I got out of the car, they attacked me with hugs.
"CONGRADULATIONS BELLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS YOUR FIRST EXTRACARICULAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" they screamed. I smiled and mouthed help me to Edward. Edward wagged his finger at me and I stuck my tongue out.
"Oh my gosh, my baby girl's a cheerleader" Esme sighed. I shrugged out of their death grips and Jason laughed at me. I stomped over and shoved him.
"Stop laughing" I growled. He laughed harder.
"That's really not scary you know" he laughed. I shoved him again and walked in angry at him. He caught my arm when I reached the living room.
"Hey, I'm sorry Izzy" he told me as he pouted. I pulled my arm away and continued to ignore him.
"Bella…I'm really really really sorry" he told me.
"Go away. Leave our house" I told him. He looked heartbroken but I walked upstairs.
"Ali, Rose, let's go shopping" I told them. Ali squealed and shot up the stairs. I turned around and saw Jason still looking at me.
"If you're not gone by the time I come back down, I will have Edward shove you out the door with force" I growled at him, "How's that for scary" He knew as well as I, that Edward would have no problem shoving him out the door. I walked back up the stairs and changed before going shopping with Ali and Rose.
