I stared at him in shock. How did he guess? "How do you know it was a guy, Paul," I questioned.
"I have the same situation, except for a girl obviously," he smiled. "So who is he?"
"He's my best friend," I admitted.
"Ouch, Bells," he winced. "Falling for your best friend equals trouble."
"Tell me about it," I sighed. "And to add to that, he's already got a girlfriend."
"That is bad," he stated. "You've gotten yourself a double whammy." I nodded in agreement. Paul was always blunt, but he was also kind at heart once you get to know him.
"So what about your situation," I questioned.
"You remember Jacob, right," he asked.
"Of course I did, he was the one that loved the mud," I laughed. He laughed also before turning serious.
"It's his sister," he sighed.
"Which one, Rebecca or Rachel," I questioned.
"Rachel," he sighed lovingly. "The thing is, I'm still seventeen and Rachel's nineteen. I can't ask her out until next year, after my birthday."
"Actually you could," I replied. "You can't do anything besides kissing and hugs, but besides that, she'd be all yours."
"And then I'd have to talk to Jacob about that," Paul said as he rubbed his neck nervously.
"I have too friends in the same situation as Jacob's in," I informed him. "It's alright to love your best friend's sister."
"Yeah, yeah," he sighed. "But I'm not going to get my hopes up yet about dating her either."
"Well, you'll never know unless you try," I smirked. We were quiet for a little while before an idea came to him.
"Why don't we get out of here," he stated. "It's pretty obvious that this 'date' is nothing but a faux, so why don't we go down to La Push to hang out with the guys. We've all been missing you."
"Well, I would love to give Seth a new one for helping set us up," I mumbled. "So I don't see why not!"
"Come on then," he stated as he took my hand, and we ran outside towards his old car. I got in, and soon we were speeding our way down to La Push. We gossiped and we laughed. I found out that Jacob, Paul, Jared, Sam, Embry and Quil were on the football team, and I told him that my friends, Edward, Emmett and Jasper was on the Forks football team.
"No wonder you fell for him," he scoffed, and I rolled my eyes. It wasn't why I fell for Edward, and Edward wasn't even in football when I did.
When we reached La Push, we had come up with a plan, and we were putting it into action. It was quite easy since they were all at Sam's house. I waited outside while Paul walked in.
"Hey, Paul," I heard Seth call as he was noticed. "How was the date? Kind of short for a date though, huh? Was she that bad?"
"Why don't you ask her yourself," he scoffed, and I took it as my cue to enter the house.
"Hi guys," I smiled. "Long time, no see, huh?"
"BELLA," they screamed as they ran towards me squishing me in the big hug. I couldn't help but laugh as they all seemed to want to know how I was.
"Bella, why haven't you called," Jacob whined as he pushed everyone away for an individual hug.
"She's been busy," Paul scoffed. "Give her a break."
"Have you eaten, Bella," Kim questioned after the girls had given me a hug. Kim, Leah and Emily were still here.
"No, I haven't," I answered. "We had decided to come straight here, skipping supper."
"Oh, you must be starving," Emily cried as she ran to the kitchen. "Paul, we need to talk about your dating matters."
"She missed you too much to let it slide for not leaving right away," Paul stated as if that would solve everything. We girls rolled our eyes, and then they led me to the dining table. While I was eating, we talked, laughed in some cases, of memories of both ourselves and the groups memories. They all were interested with my own memories, and I was found talking all the time.
"Bella," Jacob said when we were just getting a break in the story. "You should sleep over, and then we all will stay here at Sam's house." There were shouts of agreement.
"I'll see if it's alright with Dad then," I stated. I quickly ran towards the phone, the others laughing at my expense when I tripped over my own feet, and then I was on the phone with Dad.
"Hello," Dad answered on the third ring.
"Hey, Dad," I greeted.
"Bella, what's wrong? Don't you have a date? Is he making too much of a move on you?"
"Dad," I groaned. "He's not doing any of that." I felt a blush of embarrassment at the thought of being intimate with Paul. If he was anything, he'd be a brother. "The date was actually Paul, from La Push."
"Really," Dad said in surprise.
"And we were wondering if I would be able to sleep over in La Push this weekend."
"Um, sure Bells," he replied. I turned to give a high five at them, and they started cheering. "Is that them?"
"Yeah, Dad," I stated. "It's them. I'm going to have Paul give me a ride back to get some stuff, if that's alright with you."
"Yeah, that's fine," he stated before hanging up. I hung up.
"SLUMBER PARTY," Quil yelled as he whooped.
"We should also pull a prank on some of the Forks footballers," Paul suggested. "Show them the wolves power!" There were some cheers.
"And now we have another person for our pranks," Jacob smiled as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder.
"What should we do though," Kim sighed. "It's not like we know anyone of them."
"We don't," Paul smiled. "But someone else does." He pointed over to me, and then they all turned towards me, hungry like wolves for this prank. I only hoped that everyone else wouldn't be mad at me for this, especially not Edward.
