A/N: It seems as if i'm on a roll.

i don't own anything.


Bella's POV.

Conner picked me up right on time in no doubt, his parents car. I suddenly wondered if his parents really were having company, or if he was just looking for an excuse. I pushed the question out of my mind as I climbed into his car. "Wow Bella, you look… nice."

"Thanks," I shrugged.

Jessica had brought over an outfit she was convinced was 'perfect' for my 'date'. It was a bright blue shirt with a black vest along with white skinny jeans and of course, black heels. We were going to the Lincoln theatre in Port Angeles to see some movie that I didn't really care about enough to know the name. As we walked up to the counter I took in my surroundings. We passed 'Bella Italia,' which seemed to be some sort of restaurant. It could have been the name of the place, but for some odd reason the place made me smile. As Conner paid for the tickers I noticed a small store across the street called 'Dazzled By Twilight'. I remember laughing to myself thinking what a ridiculous name for a store that was and that I could only imagine the kinds of things they sold there.

Honestly the movie was horrible, but I didn't hold it against Conner, but there were some other things I did hold against him. Now I know I'm not very experienced with boys but I'm aware whether a boy is 'slick' or not. Conner was not slick. He started by putting his arm around my shoulder. Wait, technically he pulled whole 'pretend to yawn and lay your arm down' move. Definitely not slick. He then proceeded to intertwining his other hand in mine, which was awkward. I then noticed out of the corner of my eye that he was leaning towards me but I made a point to not look at him directly. His hand touched my cheek and tried to turn my head to face him but I didn't. I was suddenly very aware of why most guys brought girls to the movies and I was not about to be used for someone to 'hit it and quit it'.

After a ridiculous amount of attempts, Conner finally gave up and just watched the rest of the dreadful movie and when the credits rolled in he made no attempt to touch me in any form. He stood up and I followed him out of the theatre. The car ride home was also quite awkward. We made small talk for a bit but after that neither of us tried to keep a conversation going. I'd made it clear that I regretted coming and Conner made the point that he regretted inviting me quite clear as well. As he pulled into my drive way I muttered "thanks," and started to open the door.

"Sure Bella, sure." He said back.

"Excuse me?" I snapped and turned to glare at him.

"I like you Bella and you've made it obvious that you don't return the feelings and I'm still trying to figure out why you agreed to come with me tonight if you wouldn't even kiss me, okay? Is that explanation enough for you your majesty?"

I rolled my eyes, "Goodnight Conner."

"Whatever Bella," he said as I slammed the door and he sped off.

Charlie was curious when I walked in but I stressed the fact that Conner and I were just friends, although I wasn't sure we were even that. Charlie didn't seem to believe me but soon gave up and went back to the TV. I grabbed a slice of pizza that Charlie had ordered and sat down with him in the living room. I wasn't sure what we were watching but Charlie and I talked through most of the show, so it wasn't important. We talked about my mom a lot. He asked if I missed her and Phil and he asked if I missed my friends back home. I answered yes to both but told him how glad I was to finally be spending time with him after all these years. He seemed to like that. He also asked me about my friends here in Forks and how I was adjusting to the new school. I told him about Jessica and Angela and how great they seemed to be. We talked about the recent killings in Seattle and about the new female officer that Charlie was quite fond of, though he wouldn't admit it.

I washed the dishes that night and Charlie dried. It was nice having some bonding time with my father, just like old times. He hugged me goodnight and went to his room as I went to mine. The window was open which was strange. I swore I'd left it closed. The cold air had quickly capacitated my room and I shut the window tightly. I took a quick shower before heading to bed and eventually falling into a dreamless sleep.


Morning came too soon as always but I got up and changed in a hurry. Charlie was gone by the time I went downstairs. I was running late as it was so I grabbed a granola bar and headed to my truck. I made it to school with only a few minutes to spare which meant that Jessica and Angela couldn't seriously question me until lunch time. But they made points to ask questions between classes which I simply brushed off.

When the lunch bell rang I could tell I was in for it. "How was it Bella?" Jess asked immediately.

"It was fine."

"You're lying," Angela noted. "You always rub your nose when you lie."

"She's right, what happened?" Jess asked.

I had no choice. I explained to them everything that happened and they each nodded, waiting for more. "Wow," Jessica said once I had finished. "What a loser."

"Definitely," Angela agreed.

Jasper beat me to biology again. I sat down just like the day before and he once again said, "Hello Bella."

"Hi." I muttered.

The school principal then walked in. "Hello class. Your teacher just got sick and will be heading home. Since I am not aware of what you guys are doing, we're going to do something educational and somewhat fun," she said. "Today, we will be doing blood typing. I know its spur of the moment but it's a good idea to know your blood type so don't be afraid."

I felt Jasper stiffen beside me as he stared straight ahead, glaring at the principal. I figured he was afraid of needles or something. Maybe he didn't like blood, like me. But when he turned to glare at me after he had just been so civil with me, my breath hitched. Someone please tell me what I ever did to this boy.


Yes Dazzled By Twilight is really there. Yes, i went there.
