Allison was beautiful. She had straight brown hair with highlights, she was tan, and she was skinny. No wonder Edward was staring at her. I looked around to see everyone looking at her but she was only paying attention to Edward.
"Nice to meet you, Allison."
I decided I better say something because clearly no one else was going to. Rosalie slapped Emmet so he would stop staring and Alice pinched Jasper.
"Hi."
Everyone managed to say. Then the devil spoke. I hated her already. Just when I discover I actually like Edward, I mean really like Edward, she has to barge in. At least Edward stopped staring.
"Hey! Alice has told me so much about you. It's great to finally meet you."
She was all preppy too. Ugh. She was staring right at Edward when she said this. Why do I have a sudden urge to cry or to slap Edward for staring at her? It isn't my business anyway. He can like whoever he wants.
But I am still mad. And sad. And defiantly jealous.
Alice said, "This is Edward, Bella, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmet. Everyone this is Allison, as you know."
She pointed to each of us as she said this and then she went on.
"Do you guys want to go on the Ferris wheel?"
"Yeah."
Everyone said except me. I looked at Edward but he wasn't looking at me. He was looking off into the distance, like he was trying to avoid something. What was with that text message then? I thought that meant something. Maybe it was nothing. We all followed Alice to the Ferris wheel. Allison was walking next to Edward and talking to him. They were both smiling. I was walking behind the group when Edward turned around.
"Bella, come on."
He smiled at me and I looked at Allison. She looked mad. He was probably just trying to be nice. I walked closer to them but I didn't stand next to Edward. Allison had managed to get his attention again. She was standing so close to him. What were they talking about? I walked a little closer until I could hear their conversation.
"Are you and Bella close?"
Why was she talking about me?
"Yeah, uh we are friends."
"Oh. Do you have a girlfriend?"
"No."
"I am surprised you aren't dating anyone."
"Oh, um yeah."
They didn't say anything else then because we were at the Ferris wheel. Alice gave the person our tickets and we walked in to take seats. It was two or three people to a seat. Of course Alice and Jasper sat together and Rosalie and Emmet did too. Allison sat in a seat and pulled Edward down with her. I was going to sit alone when Edward yelled to me.
"Bella, aren't you going to sit with me?"
He didn't seriously think that text still applied? I knew he liked Allison. It sure looked like he did. I had no choice but to go sit next to him. Allison was on the other side of him, sitting entirely to close. The ride started. I saw Rosalie and Emmet kissing and Alice and Jasper holding hands ahead of us. Allison was pretending she was scared and I saw her grab Edward's hand. I just wanted to get out of there. As soon as the ride stopped I jumped out and ran off into the crowd. I heard someone yell my name from behind. I didn't know who it was and I didn't want to know. I just wanted to be by myself.
Stupid Allison.
I ran through the crowd until I was sure I had lost them. Then I found a bathroom. I walked in and locked the door behind me. That is when I cried. I cried because I had finally found someone I really liked. I cried because someone better than me was trying to steal Edward. I cried because it was working. I cried because I could do nothing about it. And I cried because I just realized I loved Edward. I have always loved Edward since we first met in second grade. I just never realized that love meant more than just being his friend.
It was too late.
Edward had already found someone and that someone was better than me. She was prettier than me, tanner than me, had better hair than me, taller than me, and skinner than me. I was nothing, just plain Bella. When I was done crying I got up and washed the tears off my face. I had to get it together. I would do it to make Alice happy. I would try to be happy or I would fake it. I took my phone out of my pocket. I had felt it vibrate several times why I was crying. I opened it up. Two missed calls and three text messages. Alice and Rosalie had called me and the texts were from Emmet, Edward, and Alice. They all said pretty much the same thing: Are you okay? Where did you go?
I sent a text message to Alice.
Alice, where are you?
I would just make something up if she asked me where I went. I did not want anyone to find out that I have been crying for the past… how long was I crying? I looked at the time on my phone. It was already five! I didn't think I was gone for the past hour and a half. They must be really worried about me. Well everyone but Allison and Edward. I bet they are having fun. I need to stop thinking about that. Breathe Bella. Remember, be happy or at least fake it for Alice. I don't want to spoil her fun. My phone vibrated. It was Alice texting back.
OMG Bella are you okay? Where have you been? Everyone is so worried! We have been looking for you. What is going on? We are all by that big twisty roller coaster, the one you went on earlier. Your favorite ride, you said.
I did not want to be reminded. I quickly replied back that I would explain later, there is nothing to worry about, and I would meet her at the roller coaster. I unlocked the bathroom door and saw a line of people. Jeez, was this the only bathroom in the whole place. People were glaring at me but I just pushed past them and walked quickly to the roller coaster. I saw everyone waiting for me there with worried expressions on their faces. I fake smiled so they wouldn't be worried and Alice ran over to me and hugged me.
"Bella! Are you okay? Where were you?"
Everyone was waiting for my response, even Edward it seemed. Why couldn't he like me instead of Allison? Ugh, I needed to get over him. I said the first thing that popped in my head.
"I am fine. I just met this guy and we were talking."
"Okay…"
I knew Alice could see right through me but I hoped she was the only one. I would have to tell her the truth later and Rosalie too. I was not looking forward to that.
"Yeah so do you guys want to get something to eat?"
"Sure. Then we have to go home and get ready for the party!"
Oh great, Alice is going to want to dress me up and do my hair, again.
"Okay."
We all got hotdogs this time except Allison who hardly are anything except some chips and water. We ordered our food and sat down on a picnic table. Allison sat next to Edward and I got stuck sitting across from them. I probably looked like a pig next to Allison with my two hotdogs, chips, funnel cake, and a pop. Who knew crying made you so hungry? That is yet another reason Edward likes Allison instead of me.
When we finished eating we threw away are wrappers and walked out to the car. Allison was parked next to us, how ironic.
"Do you want to follow us back to our cabin and get ready for the party there? I can do your hair!"
Alice said this too enthusiastically. She would do anything to be able to dress people up and do their hair.
"Sure, but I don't have any clothes with me."
"Don't worry you can borrow some of mine or Bella's clothes. You would fit in them."
Why my clothes? I didn't say anything though. We got in the car but this time I sat in the back and Emmet sat in the front. Rosalie was in the back with me. Alice and Jasper rode in Allison's car.
This was not going to be fun at all tonight. I would rather just stay home watching a movie by myself with ice cream, yum! But I couldn't let Alice down, she was my best friend. I do know that I wouldn't be able to take it if Allison was going to keep throwing herself all over Edward.
Edward. The guy I realized I loved today.
