"I think I'm gonna go now. Thanks for the clothes, Bella." I watched as Edward scampered out of the closet and down the hall toward the exit. I was torn between wanting to run after him and throwing us back in the closet, or yelling at Alice for ruining my perfect, okay, my semi-perfect moment with Edward.
"Deets, now!" Alice's stern command brokered no room for arguments.
"Fine, but after work. Over a Starbucks iced mocha?"
"Deal," agreed Alice.
Later that night, over iced goodness, I recounted the whole tale, from start to finish. Replaying it for Alice, I couldn't help but cringe. It was a horrible series of events. The one time I actually talk to Edward and I act like an idiot by staring at his chest, then to top it off, I have to act like a possessive freak and ask why he was dating the school skank.
"Wow! Way to make a first impression, Bella." I look up to see Alice giddy and bouncing in her seat.
"Yeah, it was the worst!" I placed my forehead on the table, wishing that I could go back and redo the whole interaction with Edward.
"No, Bella. I was perfect!" gushed Alice.
"Honey, you need to stop sniffing the bleach. Did you not hear a single word I said? It was a complete disaster."
"You're only looking at it through your perspective. I'm an outside observer and I say you got him intrigued." She sat back in her chair with a triumphant smile.
"Whatever, I say you're fucked in the head. There will be no good that comes out of tonight."
The next day, I did what I had told Edward I was going to do. Once Jess got that little tidbit of information, she connected all the dots and the story spread like wildfire. By third period Tanya was being called Her Royal Vomitness and by fifth hour she was spotted crying in the bathroom.
Edward, of course, was getting all the sympathy. Girls fawned over him, and the guys high fived him for coming out the other side of his date without an STD. I was pissed at myself for making it easy for him to find another girl to date and too embarrassed to do anything about it.
My only consolation was that I would spend two hours in the same room with him, I just had to keep from staring at him like a crazy ass stalker. It was easier said than done. Of course, Edward didn't help matters by sitting at the same table as me for lunch and even better, he was right across from me.
How was I going to make it through lunch without openly ogling him?
Luckily Alice sat next to me and kept me from glancing over at him. Okay, so maybe she really didn't help all that much, my eyes constantly bounced back and forth between Edward and Alice. Eventually, she got tired of my visual tennis match and she hauled me out of the cafeteria.
"Okay, you're not fooling anyone, except Edward, but he's a clueless boy. So what the hell are you going to do about it?" She had the nerve to stand there, tapping her foot like she was waiting for me to do something.
Hello, pot meet kettle.
"What do you mean what am I going to do? There is nothing to do!" My dad said the best defense was a good offense… or was that the other way around.
"Ohh pfft. I'm calling your bluff. You want him! He's free, you're free- are you waiting for a fucking invitation?"
"Oh shut up! You have some nerve! When you gonna ask Jasper out? You've been pining after him a lot longer than I have Edward. So, you make your move, then I will!"
Those were famous last words that I would grow to regret.
