I woke up happy and refreshed. I took a good look around my room for the first time. The walls were a light shade of purple. The comforter for the bed was green, blue, and, purple. The bed was a trendle. ( A trendle is a bed that has a matteress under the original bed and can be pulled out for use as a separate bed of one king size like in this story. If I didn't have a trendle bed I wouldn't know.) There was a purple lamp with plastic purple jewels decorating it on the nightstand. There was a bamboo style wood floor. On top of a dresser was the T.V and a stereo. On top of the T.V was a PS2! There was a poster of a mother lion and her 3 cubs, a poster of a pug and a north-American shorthair cat, and a baby tiger climbing on a branch. There were also 2 framed pictures one of a mountain lion chasing deer in the snow. The other was holographic of the mountain lion's face as it watches snow fall. When I looked in the walk-in closet there was no space at all. When I opened the other closet, there were books! All my favorites, Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. The Host by Stephenie Meyer. Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr by Christopher Paolini. The Series Of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. East by Edith Pattou. Warrior cats by Erin Hunter, and quite a few others. Alice!
A tap on my bedroom door made mw jump. "Bella? Get ready. Rehearsals today." Edward stated calmly. He looked into the room and rested his eyes on me. I ran to him and hugged him tightly never wanting to let go and leave my personal heaven. I blushed when he kissed the top of my head. "Go, get ready. I'll wait." I quickly got in the shower, but the water was so irresistibly warm I stayed in a little longer. I wore a dress that Alice was letting me borrow. It was a darker blue and square necked. When Edward and I finally climbed into the car he used when he was here, (A black ferrarri) I drooled over how he could afford this because I'd forgotten he was rich.
"Ah, Edward! You must be Bella? I am your director you will call me Charles." Charles greeted us rather enthused shaking both our hands at the same time. I looked towards the building that we would practice in until we moved the sets over to the Cullen's Hawaiin mansion. I said it could pass as a castle. Charles told us that there was a small village close to the mansion that had the perfect forests for the 'abandoned woodcutters cottage.' I was excited to see it sure, but not enough to go berserk in front of Edward. Plus I wasn't going to act like one of those lovesick preppy bimbo's that you find ALL over school. I've told my Mom about them so many times she wont ever believe me… I felt a vibrating in my pocket and pulled out my Juke cell phone. The music started. "YO LITSEN UP HERES A STORY ABOUT A LITTLE GUY THAT LIVES IN A BLUE WORLD. AND ALL DAY AND-" I flipped open the phone before I became more embarrassed.
"Hello?" I answered. Bad time to call whoever this is.
"BELLA! Guess what!?"
"Hello? Who is this?"
"Isabella Marie Swan! This is your mother speaking to you so pay attention!"
"Mom. What's up?"
"Guess what!"
"Chicken Butt? Put it in a pot an' eat it hot? What?" I admit I was frustrated at her calling me when I no offense, had better things to do when I talked to her every night.
"When you come back. Ooh. You're going to boarding school!"
"WHAT! NOO!"
"It's too late I already signed you up…"
"Why didn't you ask me first?!" I was mad now.
"I thought you wanted to go to boarding school."
"No you wanted me to go to boarding school! I didn't!"
"Oh well too late now! Maybe you'll meet someone."
"Mom… I'm dating. Yes Dad knows."
"Who is the lucky guy?"
"Mom, you're yelling. He can kinda hear every word your saying."
"Who is he?"
"EdwardCullen." I said as fast as I could.
"Who?" God! She wanted to embarrass me to death!
"Ed. Ward. Cull. En." I said slowly for her to understand. Did you know that my mother is a scatterbrain? You didn't? That's what I thought. Why cant mothers stay out of their kid's business? I know they care and all, but…
"Is he cute? Is he a jock? Is he nice? Tell me!"
"Yes. No. Yes. I'm at a rehearsal now mom I have to go."
"Who's wedding is it? Did your father finally decide to be a man and suck it up? I'm so happy he found some one who can deal with him!"
"It's not Dad's wedding, Mom."
"NO! You're MUCH, MUCH TOO YOUNG! YOU ARE NOT GETTING MARRIED WHEN YOU'RE BARELY 17 YEARS OLD!"
"Mom."
"WHAT?"
"It's not a wedding, I'm in a movie. I have to go know."
"Bye Dear!" Pshaww, now she's happy because I'm not getting married. Mothers are the weirdest living beings besides boys.
"Quite the little argument there huh?" this voice was smug and I didn't know it. "Name's Jacob Black. You Bella. Bella Swan?"
"Yeah, nice to meet you Jacob."
"Would you like to join me for dinner tonight?"
"I'm sorry. I'm taken."
"Who?" asked Jacob.
"I'm taken. My status is not single. I'm taken." Thank god too!
"Who're you with?"
'If you were listening to my phone conversation. You would have heard my saying Edward Cullen."
"That's my name don't wear it out." Edward commented as he ran up to me.
"You've got a nice one there Cullen." Jacob intercepted our greeting.
"Yes. This nice one here is my Bella. Off-limits." Jacob walked away. "I really wish people like him would learn to treat others like humans, not trophies." Me too, I thought bitterly.
"Once upon a time in a far away land, lived a King and his fair Queen." The narrator kept going and going. I was really bored by the time that Charles called me up to the stage, jerking me back to reality from my unconsciously zoning out.
After rehearsal, Edward and I went out to dinner at Steak n' Shake. We ordered a frisco melt to share with cheesy fries. I knew he was forcing himself to eat the food, for me. I moped over how the cheese slid down my throught. I was going to tell the truth to Edward because he deserved nothing less.
"Edward." "Yes Bella?"
"You know my mom called this morning and all. Well… I-I'm going to boarding school when we get back to Washington."
"You WHAT? Boarding? School…"
"My mom signed me up WITHOUT asking. So I don't have a choice."
"Well then I'm going too."
"Really?"
"I cant leave my girlfriend all alone to deal with people like Jacob Black."
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!" I whined as I leaned across the table to give him a peck on the cheek.
"We better get home now." Edward said.
On the way home all I could think about was which boarding school. I was almost positive it was going to be 'Kingsley Boarding school'. It was the closest boarding school and it was 3 hours away from Forks. At least I'd be able to travel. We have to finish this movie before I even think about school.
When we pulled into the massive Cullen driveway I got out of the car quickly and walked as fast as my legs could carry me, I walked because if I ran without a doubt I would've tripped over my own two clumsy feet. When I made it to my room I shut the door and changed into my pajamas, which was actually a nightgown, and said goodnight to Edward. I drifted off to sleep.
When I woke up I was in Edward's ferrarri, the back seat… I hadn't been in the back seat for at least 4 years. I forgot how comfortable it was back here.
"Did you sleep well?" Edward's sweet voice filled my ears.
"Yes I did actually."
"Ready for another day of rehearsals?"
"Sure why not? I'd absolutely love to get in a fight over you with Lindsay." I said sarcastically.
"Over me huh?"
"Do you seriously not notice the looks she gives you?" And the daggers of death glares she gives me, I added in my mind.
"No, why?" He was oblivious. I was happy about that?
"Because you're the only thing in this case person she'll even look at."
"Really?" he was amused that I'd noticed.
"Yes!" I answered irritated.
"Hi, Edward!" Speak of the devil's wife, and she will appear. No matter how unwanted her appearance is…
"Good afternoon, Lindsay." Edward responded.
"Bella, can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure Lindsay." Can we talk about the restraining order for you and Edward. Or even better, your funeral? I followed Lindsay to the corner of the large rehearsal room.
"Stay away from Edward. He is mine! Didn't you notice how he talks to me? He loves me! STAY AWAY FROM MY FUTURE HUSBAND!" she hissed so that only I could hear her.
"Okay let's get some things straight here. First, I will not stay away from Edward, because he is my official boyfriend. Second, Edward loves me much more than he loves you. Third, the only way you'll ever get to him is if he dumps me and goes to you. Because I will never leave him. Know why? Because I love him, and he loves me. So I strongly suggest that take that stick out of your rear and get a life that doesn't involve my boyfriend or me. So to put it nicely, he's NOT interested in you. You can tell by the faces he makes at you. If you paid attention to anything besides his looks. You'd know. But who is to stupid for their own good and trying to get someone who has repeatedly said no in body language so you wont be embarrassed in verbal rejection. Get a life and back off mine an Edwards' cases." I yelled so everyone heard and was laughing at Lindsay.
"You will pay." she said close to tears at humiliation's mercy.
"Is that a promise or a threat?" I asked menacingly. God, I felt like Rosalie. And Lindsay ran from the publics' eyes. I laughed even harder.
"I never knew you could do that Bella." Edward commented at my earlier explosion.
"Well I was saving up about 2 years of anger just for her."
"Really?" Edward asked amused.
