Chapter 7

First tell me why your avoiding me

Okay, let's review:

I had the lamest writing project ever with the lamest partner

Edward was the lame partner

Edward thinks this is a game and I'm messing with him

I just personally don't like him and he thinks I'm a hater

Rosalie and Jasper stole my best friend

People think I'm dating Mikey-boy

Overall, life sucks right now!

"Where the hell is Alice?" I asked Edward as I walked into his house. I had to visit the Cullen's place this time.

"I don't know, I think she's with that blonde girl, Rosalind?" Edward said and my face went hard. She was with that best-friend-stealin bitch, Rosalie.

"Life sucks," I confirmed to myself and Edward giggled at me. "And you think that's funny, pansy?"

"Life doesn't suck; maybe it's just you… ever thought of that?" Edward said.

"You know you're not a very comforting person, Edward,"

"Today is Wednesday," he said and I laughed instead of looking confused.

What an idiot.

"So what do you want to do now?" I asked and he walked to the living room. We were still standing by the front door.

"TV?" He suggested, grabbing the remote from the coffee table. I shrugged and walked to the sofa to watch TV with him. A commercial came on for The Blood of the Beloved: Vampire festival. I seemed like everyone was going and Mike was taking me to the bogus, if-you-can't-afford-diamonds-buy-the-dollar-store-kind Vampire festival. It was a rip off.

"I heard you and Mike are going there," Edward said and I laughed.

"Yeah, right. I wish. The tickets are like sixty bucks," I told him.

"So he's not taking you there?"

"No… just a rip off kind you go to, when you can't afford the real thing."

"I bet I could take you there,"

"Why?"

"It'll be fun,"

"Yeah! Sixty bucks worth of fun,"

"When the festival?"

"Friday. And if I go with you then I'll be blowing off Mikey-boy — I mean, Mike,"

"Mikey-boy? Do you have stupid names for all your crushes?"

"Actually, that's kind of interesting. I like neither you nor Mike,"

"So you give pet names for the people you hate on?"

"Edward, if anyone's a hater, it's you,"

"How is that?"

"Face it, sonny-boy, you're way too obsessed with me." He laughed. That was kind of what I was hoping for. That he would think I thought he liked me and prove me wrong. That was he would stop trying to make stupid moves on me.

"You wish I was obsessed with you?"

"Yes, Edward, I do. So can you back off?"

"No! You said I was obsessed with you, so I'll be just that—"

"God, Edward, stop doing that. You're making me go insane—"

"So are we going to the festival tonight?"

"I'm not blowing off, Mike,"

"Then we'll go next weekend—"

"Why do you want to go so bad anyway?"

"Because I want to get to know my project. You like vampires, right?"

"I guess so,"

A knock on the door appeared. "Wait here a second," Edward said and went to go answer the door. If that was Alice I would so hurt that little pixie for ditching me.

"Ew, go away, Edward!" That was sure enough Alice and I felt the rage burning inside of me.

"I live here to you know…? Happily," Edward retorted and Alice groaned loudly, rolling her eyes and stepping and inside the house. She had shopping bags with her on every inch of her arm and a certain Rosalie standing beside her with shopping bags also. So they had a girl's week out without me, uh? Alice was such a backstabber.

"BELLA!" Alice screamed when she saw me on the sofa. I didn't look at her and I could feel her deadly eyes on me. "Where the hell have you been? I've been so worried about you at school. Have you been avoiding me?"

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" I said, still not looking at the backstabber.

"Rosalie and I just went shopping a few hours ago. I got major news to tell,"

"Oh sure you do, Alice. Did you have fun with your project?"

"You mean Rosalie, then yes. We have a lot in common… well, mostly just shopaholic, the rest is just a blur,"

"I'm sure it is—"

"Look at me, BELLA!" She walked over to me and I kept my back to her. She was in front of me now, looking beyond angry. "Why are you avoiding me?"

"First tell me why you're avoiding me?"

"I'm not avoiding you—"

"Alice," Rosalie had cut in, "I think she's talking about what happened in lunch when you were sitting at Edward's table—"

"Which you're not invited to ever again," Edward added, but we all ignored him.

"Anyway… Jasper wanted to talk to Alice and it was so sudden. So she sat with him and they talked for a few minutes, then she left because she was worried about you,"

I looked at Rosalie for a second and then Alice. They looked like they had been friends longer than Alice and I. I had to face the facts, my best friend was gone. "Its okay, Alice, you can spend all your time with your shopaholic best friend. I'm sure it's better than spending time with the anti-shopping princess—"

"AH HA!" Edward shouted, pointing at me like he caught me in a lie. "So you are a princess?"

"Shut up Edward!" The three of us said in unison and got back to the conversation. "I love you, Bella; you're like a sister to me. And Rosalie is like a sister to me too—"

"A super hot sister," Alice was interrupted by yet again Edward. He was really irritating the three of us. This was supposed to be the perfect make up scene when the three friends join together and make peace.

"Ignore him. As I was saying, I love you both. Rosalie is like my twin and Bella you're my retro rock of my world. Sometimes you need a little reverse, but you also have to go the normal way so you don't get to crazy, right?"

"I have no idea what you just said, but it sounded like an apology. I forgive you," I said with a victory smile that Edward wore often. That little pansy was rubbing off on me.

"Now this is the part when we all hug!" Edward announced and we all looked at him like "Is he serious?" Maybe he was a pansy.

"Hugs," Rosalie announced and the three of us joined in a girl's only group hug — perhaps I should have let Edward join in.

"I'm sorry I was avoiding you," Alice sobbed and I patted her back.

"It's okay, I was avoiding you too. Let's promise we'll never avoid each other again. You too Rose," I whimpered and we all cried a yes.

"Alright, alright. Pointless girly moment over. Now can I please have Isabella back?" Edward said and Alice's mouth dropped.

"You let HIM let you call you ISABELLA and I… I CAN'T!" Alice was flamed with fury right now. That baby tiger was let out on the loose. "BELLA YOU GOT SOME SPLAININ TO DO!" I couldn't help but laugh when she said that. Rosalie laughed to, but she wasn't a jellyfish like me. I could sense it. She was a cheetah. Fierce.

"Sonny-boy over here does NOT call me Isabella, right?" I said.

"Wrong! Sonny-boy calls prissy-princess Isabella because it annoys the hell out of her," Edward admitted and I burst into laughter. These people were so weird. Some day, I'll have to write a book about my crazy, convoluted life.

"DON'T annoy my SISTER, you FUCKER!" Alice growled and for once, Edward obeyed. The leader of the lion pride obeyed. Who'd of thought? After all, his crew wasn't with him. It was just Alice, Rose, and I.

"Alice, chill. You'll give sonny-boy a heart attack," I said and Rosalie looked at me confused.

"What does 'sonny-boy' mean?" She asked and I rolled my eyes. I hated it when people asked.

"That's my five year olds cousin's name. His mom calls him sonny-boy when ever he's so damn annoying. Edward is a special type of sonny-boy, aren't you sonny-boy?" I said and Edward sucked his teeth like he was too cool for me.

"You know I don't play that, Bell. It's just not raw enough for me," he said.

"Raw enough for you…? Then what is 'raw enough for you'?" I wondered and everyone was all ears to hear his brilliant explanation.

"Don't think to much, just know I'm not raw for this. The Ed mastas' out," The Ed masta', was he put it, walked out the front door to leave the three of us in a silent room.

"Your brother is so… weird," Rosalie said and Alice and I laughed.

"You're tellin' me. You don't know the half of it," Alice said. The front door opened again and Edward had returned to the room. "Did you forget something?"

"Yeah, I forgot to tell Bella that she'll have to ditch the Newton kid. We're goin' to the Vampire festival on Friday," Edward said.

"NO! Edward, I'm not ditching the Newton kid, so shove it up your—"

"Cool it Ms. Prissy. Next weekend, okay?"

"We'll see,"

"Whatever, you're going. What's so hard about saying, alright Edward I'll see you then?"

"Alright Edward I'll see you then," I said and he still didn't leave. "I'll see you then… I'll see..." I pointed to my eye, "you…" I pointed to Edward, "then…" I didn't know what to do on that part so I just stood there stupidly.

Whatever.

"Isabella, you're so funny," he said and finally left the room.

"So you got two dates. Wow, Bella, you're on a roll," Alice said.

"It's not a date, Alice," was all I said.

That was it! I hope you liked it. Chapter 8 or 9 will be the date with Newton and it will be like one of the BEST chapters. And I'll try to NOT make a lot of stupid mistakes. I HATE errors, they're very annoying. Anyway, the date's going to be AWESOME! It's coming soon. It's going to be so funny. Stay in tuned for tomorrow or today. I just posted two today, I might post another if I have time!

REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!

Can I say it any plainer!
