Chapter 7.
"yes dad everything is great" besides the fact that there's a serial killer on the loose and a student has been killed, but I'd decided it would be better if he didn't know about that, he would just come and take me home rather I liked it or not.
"well that's good bells, how about your classes, has all the studying gone to your head yet?" he asked jokingly.
"no not yet, but I'm feeling the pressure a little though"
"understandable what with all those classes, you know you could always just come home right?"
"dad! We've been over this, I'm staying for the whole semester"
"yes okay alright. Just know I miss you bells, so does sue"
"i miss you too" not really sue though a guilty part of me thought.
"well um so is there anything else going on at school, besides the obvious that is?" dad liked to keep talking about absolute everything every time he called. It was nice and I enjoyed it, but truth is me and my dad had never really had a relationship were we talked much, it was mostly yes, no and nodding.
"well there's a dance at school tomorrow, or a ball as they call it"
"oh that's nice, are you going with someone?" he was fishing for news, I could hear it in his voice, he wanted to know if i''d gotten a boyfriend, which I hadn't but even if I had I probably wouldn't tell him about it.
"no, just going with some friends" I wasn't a dance kind of person, actually I didn't know how to dance at all but I was still a little bummed about not going with Jacob, it could have been fun.
"well I'm sure it will be just as fun anyway" he said encouragingly. It wouldn't be but not much to do about it now.
"yeah I guess"
"well um it was good to hear from you bells, talk to you soon alright?"
"yeah I'll call you later dad" I hung up the phone and turned to look at Jessica who'd been blabbering about which dress she should wear to the dance.
"what do you think, should it be the pink satin dress or the black short one?" she held both dresses up for me to look.
"i don't know they're both nice" I got up from my bed and went over to my desk and started picking up my books that I was going to use in class today.
"well you're to no help at all" she said and sighed. " okay I think I'm going to go with the black short one, it shoes of my fabulous legs. What about you Bella what are you going to be wearing?" she could just take her eyes away from the black dress that she was holding took look at me before her eyes turned back to her dress. She had her everlasting smile plastered on her face I wondered if she ever really got upset.
"oh I don't really know yet, I'll just pick something in my closet" I was putting my books down in my backpack getting ready to leave, even though Jessica hadn't wanted to be late on her first day to class she couldn't care less now. She actually looked offended about what I'd just said.
"of course you wont, we're about the same size you can borrow one of my dresses" she grinned.
"thanks Jess" I tried to sound enthusiastic, but it came out sounding uninterested. Jess ignored that and started going through her closet. " um Jess? I kind of need to go to class now, but we'll find one later okay?" I was already out the door before she even got a chance to answer.
I walked in to my math class and sat down by one of the desks and took out my calculus book when Angela placed her self by my desk.
"oh my god! You'll never guess what just happened" Angela said. She was smiling so much her lips could have cracked.
"what" I smiled.
"Ben asked me to go to the ball with him!" she yelled and then started clapping her hands from happiness.
"well I told you he would didn't I"
"yes but still I can't believe it, oh I'm so happy! I've already picked out my dress, it's this really beautiful long blue one, it's really pretty. What are you wearing?"
"Jessica is picking one out for me later. Well I guess I'm going to be all alone at the ball then"
"of course not, Jessica isn't going with anybody"
"no but it's Jessica, you know after five minutes in there she's going to have at least three guys with her"
"yeah you're probably right about that one. Well Ben and I won't leave your side all night then, I promise we'll even do that awkward three person dance thing, it will be so much fun"
"thanks but I don't wont to ruin your night though"
"no! You won't ruin it it'll be fun, I promise" she smiled. Angela was such a nice person but I wasn't stupid of course she would won't to dance alone with the guy she had a crush on. The teacher walked into the class and everybody slowly stopped talking.
After classes Jessica had pulled me up to our room to find a dress. I had been sitting and talking with Jacob but as she walked in and grabbed my arm and pulled me up from the couch he'd said it was fine he was about to get ready to leave anyway.
"okay the red one is definitely the one don't you think?" it was ruby red and very short, I kept trying to pull it down a little because a felt like you could see my butt
but every time I did that it would sit really low on my chest.
"i don't know Jess, maybe something with a little more.. longer"
"oh but you look so pretty!" I didn't say anything to that just gave her a look. "oh fine I'll find something else" she went through her closet again and came out with a dark blue dress it was a little more simple an average, much more my style.
I put it on and looked myself in the mirror. I had to admit it was pretty.
"okay dress down time to talk shoes"
please reaview thanks
