A/N Hey! I'm back! It's may, my birth month! Woo! Any way here's the next chapter, enjoy!

Chapter 9- Adventure is out there!

I am wearing pink...again. This time, however, Alice chose a light pink dress and a white cardigan, accompanied by white flats. I was starting to want to gag at the sight of pink, I was getting tired of it. We grabbed our bags and walked out side to find Edward's pink Volvo. On second thought pink isn't really that bad, it had its positive side.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY CAR?!" Edward roared. Before I could answer Rosalie's red BMW rolled up and we ran to it.

"What? I can't hear you! The color of your car is too loud!" I yelled out the window as Rose drove away. Alice and Rosalie giggled inside the car.

"I can't believe you guys messed with their precious cars! You do know they're going to kill you right?" Rose laughed as she drove to school.

"Hey they messed with our hair!" I defended.

"You do not mess with a girl's hair." Alice backed me up.

"Mmmhmmm, but what are you going to do? You have to face them at some point, like lunch or after school." Rose pointed out.

"Easy. Lunch we eat on a different table or somewhere else, and we go shopping after school for a while." Alice said with a wave of her hand. Oh heck no. There is no way I am going shopping with these two, Alice already treats me like her own personal Barbie, I do not want to know what will happen when she has access to thousands of clothes options.

"Um, I'm going to pass on that second part." I said from the backseat. But of course they just ignored me and continued planning, all I could catch was 'fun' and 'sexy'. Making me very nervous as to what exactly it was that they were planning.

"Alice I feel sick, my stomach hurts and my head is spinning." I said groaning and feigning difficulty breathing.

"Quit being a big baby, you're coming. End of discussion." she snapped and I pouted. Life is unfair.

"Cheer up Bella, remember, adventure is out there!" She said pumping her fist in the air.

"You sound like the demented little girl from Up, 'South America. It's like America, but South.'" I imitated the little girl. Rose and Alice laughed as we pulled in to a parking space. I looked out the window to notice it was raining, why is it always raining here? Look at California, going through a drought and stuff because of lack of rain, and here we are standing under clouds who can never seem to get it all out. Just wasting away, Mother Nature is so mean.

...

Lunch rolled around and we ended up sitting at our table (is it weird that I call it 'our' table, even though I've been here for less than a week? Yeah I didn't think so either), sitting right across from the guys who just sat there glaring at us the whole time.

"Pudding cup?" I offered Emmett.

"Don't try and bribe me Bellsie, I'm still mad at you." He said as he took my pudding anyway.

"I'm not trying to bribe you...but if I was, is it working?" I asked hopefully.

"It's vanilla, you do not bribe a man with vanilla Bella." he said in a way that sounded as if he were giving me life altering advice.

"I knew I should have grabbed chocolate." I mumbled.

"Hello Edward." said a voice that made my blood boil.

"Hello Tanya." He answered politely. She grabbed a chair from a nearby table and dragged it over to his side. She sat down and scooted to him as close as she could. She was so close she might as well have been sitting on his lap. My hands curled into fists underneath the table and I wanted to drag her across half the cafeteria by her hair. Alice cleared her throat and looked like she would have helped me if I asked her too. Tanya looked at the rest of us, as if she just realized we were there.

"Oh hello, Ashley, Jackson, Eli, Roxanne, and Becca." She smiled falsely at us. She said my name like I say Broccoli, yuck.

Rosalie and everybody else corrected her on our names with a sour tone.

"It's Alice."

"I'm Jasper."

"Who the heck is Eli? I'm Emmett!"

"Oh I know you did not just call me Roxanne, my name is Rosalie...Tasha." Rosalie said in the way models talk when one refers to a Gucci bag as Coach. I wanted to burst out laughing when she called her Tasha, but that is childish, and I am nothing but mature. Emmett and Alice, however, were a different story.

"Yeah hi, it's Bella." I said curtly.

"So Edward (Sure she gets his name right) have you heard about the winter formal?" She asked twirling a strand of her hair and completely ignoring the rest of us.

"Yes I have, but is there anything I should know in particular?" he asked amusement showing on his face from her and Rose's encounter.

"Well there was this misunderstanding, so now it's being moved up to the week after break. That means it's in 2 1/2 weeks! (The horror! How will we live after this?!) So now everybody is rushing to ask their dates, going dress shopping, and renting their tuxes. I just wanted to warn you, you know in case you were looking to ask anybody in particular (Who could that be?!). Just so you have time to ask her before somebody else does." She said smiling sweetly at him, I wanted to gag at how fake she was. Who does she think she's kidding, if I didn't know how many guys were after her, I'd say she's desperate for a man. But no, she's not, she's desperate for my man.

Since when is he yours?

Since I decided I didn't like Tanya because she didn't like me, and since she like's Edward, I decided he's mine so she can't have him.

So it has nothing with the way his eyes sparkle when he's excited, or the way his muscles flex when he stretches?

Of course not.

Mmmhmmm.

Don't mmhmm me!

"That's very thoughtful of you Tanya. Thank you. I think I'll take your advice and ask her right now seeing as she's right here, before somebody else might." He said smiling at her. Wait he's asking her?! NO! I mean who cares...no I definitely mean NO! He can't, he mustn't, he shan't!

"Oh Edward." She sighed. I felt my salad start to make it's way back up.

"Bella will you go to winter formal with me?" He said turning my way. What? I felt my eyes go wide and I couldn't seem to find my voice. That is until I looked at the shocked expression on Tanya's face, I smiled and didn't even care when she started glaring at me.

"Sure." I shrugged, just because I was glad he didn't ask Tanya, doesn't mean I want him getting a big head over this.

"Great." He smiled at me, then he turned to Tanya,"Thank you Tanya, now I can sleep peacefully." he said. She glared at me for one more second and then turned to Edward. She plastered the most false smile I have ever seen on her face and said, "You're welcome." then she stomped off. As soon as she was gone everybody at the table burst out laughing.

"Oh my gosh, I have never seen her look so shocked or pissed before." Alice squealed in between laughs.

"Me either!" Rose agreed.

"Well played man, well played." Emmett said slapping him on the back. Played, of course he was just saying that to get rid of her. Oooh, duh. I tried not to let it get to me, but I couldn't help but feel disappointed. My smile dropped from my face and Edward noticed.

"Bella are you okay?" he asked concerned. I shook off my silly emotions and smiled again.

"Yeah, I just have a feeling this is going to end badly for me." I shrugged.

"How so?" he asked.

"She's probably going to make my life a living hell for this." I said.

"Well in that case she would have to get Edward too, since he asked you." Alice interjected.

"No but that's the thing, he only asked me. But I agreed, I didn't have to, and she knows it. I agreed even after she had threatened me." I said shoulders slumping. "All for a little lie." I shook my head.

"Lie? You mean you're not really going with me?" Edward asked hurt written all over his face.

"Wait you were serious?" I asked disbelieving.

"Yeah, who else would I go with?" he responded.

"Um any other girl in the whole school?" I answered. He could have gone with anybody, no girl would dare refuse him. Well except for Angela, she absolutely loved her boyfriend Ben. Both whom I've already met, and they are so cute together! It's adorable how they look at each other.

"But I actually want to enjoy this for a change, and who better than you?" he said pulling out the puppy dog eyes. I bit my lip in response, looking down at the table.

"So what do you say? Will you go with me?" He asked again. I blushed and couldn't speak...again. So I ended up just nodding.

"Great. We can go shopping for your dress after school?" Alice squealed.

"Does it have to be a dress? Can't I wear cute jeans and a nice blouse?" I asked hopeful.

"No!" Alice and Rose exclaimed together. I hung my head in defeat. The guys just laughed at me, it's only funny to them because they don't have to go through it.

"Wait so does this mean I'm forgiven?" I asked my voice filled with hope.

"Hell no." he answered, his glare once again settling once again on his face.

"Aww."

...

I hate biology. Today we were dissecting a frog. We were cutting open a frog, and then pointing out which organ was what! It was a partner lab and I chose Angela as my partner, she was the only other girl in class that cared enough about her grades in order to suck it up and gut a dead animal. Every other girl was huddled in the back corner, trying to get as far away from the disgusting things as possible. Some of the guys looked a little green while others were messing around with it, daring each other to poke it and all that shizz. Idiots.

"God this is so gross." Angela mumbled beside me.

"Absolutely." I agreed, a little nauseous.

"Hey Bella, your hair could use a little decoration, don't you think?" Tanya said and grabbed her frog and slammed it down on top of my head. I stared at her with wide eyes and an open mouth. I probably looked like the home alone kid right now. After the shock wore off I grabbed the frog and set it down on the table, my eyes never leaving Tanya's sneer. Before she could leave I quickly grabbed the top of her shirt and pulled it down exposing her chest, (Yes I know Eww! But a girls got to do what a girls got to do.) then I grabbed her frog and stuffed it inside her shirt and bra, I yanked her shirt back up and pushed her away.

"There you go, I think you lost something of yours." I said politely, I could see Angela smiling from the corner of my eye and everybody else was laughing as Tanya screeched and screamed, while running around the classroom.

"Bella want me to help you wash your hair in the restroom?" Angela offered.

"Thanks you don't have too, I'll do it myself." I smiled at her kindness.

"It's okay, besides I have a small bottle of shampoo in my bag, come on." she led me out the classroom and into the nearest bathroom.

"Why do you have a bottle of shampoo?" I asked curious.

"You never know what could happen. Especially with girls like Tanya around." She shrugged. Well true that.

...

"You put the...in her..."Emmett stuttered in the parking lot. Apparently the whole school is now aware of what happened during bio. No doubt Tanya spread her own wicked story.

"Yup." I said popping the p. Alice shuddered and the rest of them laughed their butts off.

"I am officially in love with you." Emmett gasped clutching his heart and Rosalie hmphed while crossing her arms.

"Hey! Dude back off she's mine!" Edward exclaimed and shoved his brother playfully.

"Boys, boys, stop there's enough of me to go around. But unfortunately for you guys, I'm already taken by Rose. Isn't that right Rosie?" I said turning to her. She smiled at me and went with it.

"Absolutely chicky-poo. Sorry Em, your just not fulfilling the task." She said as a matter of factly.

"No Rose, babe! I can change! I swear! Just give me the chance." He begged, with wide eyes.

"What do you say Bella, do you think he's got it within him?" She asked me.

"I don't know. You do what you think is right, just remember; I'll always be waiting for you." I sighed.

"Hey what about me?!" Edward exclaimed.

"I guess I'll have to settle." I shrugged and the girls burst out laughing. Edward pouted and Jasper put his hand on Edward's shoulder for condolence.

"Well we better get going, there are thousands of outfits to try on and so little time." Alice bounced into Rosalie's car.

"If I don't come back, I ran away while they weren't looking and forgot how to get back home." I told the guys as I got into the back seat.

"Oh stop dramatizing, it'll be fun. Besides we're going to a hair salon first, our hair needs professional attention." Alice said from the passengar seat and I leaped with joy. Good bye Strawberry Shortcake, hello Bella!

...

"I can't believe they actually got the dye out!" I said holding my once again brown hair up for inspection.

"Yup. Leah and Emily are the best! Their's nothing they can't fix." Blond Rosalie said from my right as we made our way into Forever 21. Why would anyone want to stay forever 21? I mean it's in that area where you're no longer a teenager, but you're not necessarily and adult either. So grownups stop treating you like a child, but they don't treat you like an adult, it's more of a look-that-college-student-is-a-ticking-time-bomb-let's-push-her-to-her-limits-and-see-what-happens sort of thing.

"You know what would be a great idea?" I mused out loud.

"What?" Alice asked.

"Renting the space next to Forever 21, opening a new clothes store, and naming it Finally 22." I answered. Alice and Rosalie laughed and continued on looking through the millions of racks of clothes. Why is there so much clothes?!

"Psst. Bella!" Alice whispered urgently through a rack of dresses.

"What?" I whispered back.

"Look at that guy, he's cute don't you think?" She nodded at tall young man, with unruly black hair, and baby blue eyes. He was indeed cute.

"Yeah, he is." I agreed.

"I think you should ask for his number." She continued.

"What? No!" I shrieked.

"Why not?" Rose chimed in.

"A stranger being cute, is no reason to ask for their number!" I stated.

"Okay, but what if he were hot?" Alice persisted.

"A. He's not and B. Still no." I said crossing my arms.

"Fine." They huffed in unison.

"Be right back, I'm going to the restroom." Rose said getting up from our table at the food court.

"Alright." Alice replied with a knowing look. Is it just me or is that weird? A couple seconds later Alice said she was going to get more ice cream and if I wanted some, I said no that I was fine and she left.

"excuse me Miss?" A deep voice asked. I looked up to see a young man standing beside me. He kind of looked like Jacob, but meaner and snarkier. He had an I.D tag for Radio Shack that read Hello My Name Is Paul.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Do you need an ambulance?" he asked, putting one of his hands on my shoulder.

"Excuse me?" I asked confused.

"It must have hurt when you fell from heaven."He explained, with a cocky grin. Oh, so he was one of those huh? Well we'll just see about that.

"Not at all, you see I dug my way up from hell." I said with a smirk. He blinked, obviously confused that I was melting in his hands. I heard chuckling from in front of me, I looked towards the table in front of where I was seated and saw the guy from Forever 21. He was laughing and bowed his head in respect. I think he heard what I said. Paul recovered and tried again.

"Sorry, I just had to take a moment to take that in and wonder, where have you been all my life?" He said huskily. Wow this guy is good but he's messing with the wrong girl.

"Hiding from you." I shrugged nonchalantly. I once again heard the chuckling, and looked up to see the cute guy smiling at me.

"Ummm-" he stuttered.

"Listen if you're not going to do anything productive, could you please go away. Your stupidity is giving me a headache." I said rubbing my temples. He blinked at me and walked away.

"Well done." The guy from in front applauded.

"Thank you." I smiled.

"Tell me do you have a witty response to everything?" he asked amused.

"If it's not witty, it's sarcastic." I shrugged.

"Oh really? Bet you I can stun you." he winked.

"Your mouth really shouldn't be writing checks, your ass can't pay." I answered.

"Alright, bring it. If there wasn't any gravity, I'd still fall for you." he said.

"Well good luck cause I won't catch you." I shrugged.]

HIM: "I'm going to take a picture of you so I can show Santa what I want for Christmas this year."

ME: I'm going to take a picture of you so I can show the cops who to look for. Besides you must be real immature to still believe in Santa, call me when you grow up."

HIM: Haven't I seen you before? I'd never forget a face like yours."

ME: "Yeah, that's why I don't go there any more."

HIM: "I know how to please a woman."

ME: "Then please leave me alone."

HIM: "I know you want me."

ME: "Yup. I want you to leave me alone."

HIM: "I would go to the end of the world for you."

ME: "But would you stay there?"

HIM: "I've notice you noticing me, so I'm giving you the notice that I've noticed you."

ME: "Did you notice my lack of interest?"

HIM: "Can I buy something to eat?"

ME: "I'd rather have the money."

He chuckled and seemed to get the point that I wasn't giving up. He got up and sat in Alice's chair.

"Wow, you have my respects. Hi I'm Garret." He extended his hand out to me and I shook it telling him my name.

"Well this was immensely fun, but I have to go. Stay feisty." He winked at me and left, I chuckled and resumed eating my ice cream.

I told Alice and Rose what happened and they seem a tad bit disappointed when they had returned from where they had gone.

"So who was your friend?" Asked a familiar voice behind me. I turned around to see the guys sitting behind me.

"How long have you been there?" I asked surprised.

"Bout 5 minutes." Emmett answered with a smile on his face.

"Then why'd you ask, since you heard everything?" I retorted.

"Nicely done Bells." Jasper smiled. I laughed and looked at Edward who had a scowl on his face.

"What's wrong?" I asked him.

"Nothing, absolutely freaking nothing." He said through gritted teeth.

"Oh Eddie-boy got himself a date." Emmett taunted.

"He what?" I shrieked.

A/N There it is! What ya think, I hope you liked it. Let me know what ya think. And if you ever get hit on by a guy you want to get rid of, or you want to impress him, use those comeback lines and watch magic happen. Til next time.
