Chapter 9- Surprise
I got up the next morning and took my shower. I dressed in my Alexander McQueen stud skull print tank top, leather pants, and silver Christian Louboutin Alti 160 spiked metallic leather pumps. I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen to get an apple. No one was there so I figured my parents were still asleep. I picked up my leather jacket with silver studs and my Coach Poppy bag and walked out the door.
I pulled into the spot next to Edward's Volvo.
"Hey you guys." I said as I got out of the car.
"Hey Bella." Everyone said as I walked over to them. I immediately went to Edward and wrapped my arms around him and he bent down and kissed me.
"Hey don't get too carried away you guys, we have to get to class." Alice said as she and Jasper started walking towards the school.
"Whatever." I said as I pulled away. I grabbed Edwards hand and we walked into the school side by side. As we walked through the halls everyone stared. This was worse than my first day. Well at least I have Edward here. He walked me to my first class.
"I'll see you after first ends." he said and kissed my cheek.
First period went by swiftly, as did second, third, and fourth. Then it was lunch time. Edward and I walked into the cafeteria and it went silent. We quickly walked to the table and sat down.
"Hi, Bella."
"Hi Alice."
"So I heard your birthday is coming up really soon." she said excitedly. I was a little scared.
"I wonder how." I said as I turned and looked at Edward. He 'casually' started to whistle and look anywhere but at me.
"I want to throw you a party." she said as Jasper, Rose, and Emmet sat down.
"Who's having a party?" Rose asked.
"No one." I spoke up.
"I'm throwing Bella a party for her birthday." Alice said ignoring me.
"Alice I don't want a party."I said as the room volume decreased dramatically. I turned around to see what had happened and saw my mother standing there looking around the room. She smiled when she saw me and started walking towards our table. She had on a bright orange and pink Herve Leger dress, definite crowd catcher, and some nude Christian Louboutin peep toe pumps. I stood up as she got closer.
"Hey Bella." My mom said hugging me.
"Hi mom. What are you doing here?"
"Well I never got to take you to your first day of school and I want to make up for that. Plus I was bored. Your father was on business calls all morning."
"Nice, so do you really want this school food?"
"Of course not, I brought Italian food. I hope everyone likes what I got them, but I do need the boys to bring it in." She said holding up her car keys. "It's the red Porsche outside." Emmett jumped up, grabbed the keys, and ran out of the cafeteria. Jasper and Edward got up to follow him.
"I have a Porsche too, it's yellow."Alice said.
"Oh, why didn't I see it out there?" Renee asked.
"Because we have to all ride in the Volvo to school, since we can all fit and there's no reason to take the others." Alice said.
"Well that's no fun." Renee said.
They boys came back in carrying all of the food. They dropped it all on the table and looked at Renee.
"Ok, so for our appetizers I got Mozzarella Marinara and Calamari Fritte." She said as she sat it in the middle of the table. Emmett grabbed a handful of the Calamari and stuffed it into his mouth.
"I don't know what calamari is but it's really good." he said with a mouth full.
"It's fried squid." Edward said popping one into his mouth. Emmett turned a little green as he swallowed it.
"I think I'll stick with the cheese." he mumbled. We all laughed.
"Ok now I have Chicken & Spinach Manicotti for Bella, Chicken Parmesan for me, and I have one Spaghetti Marinara, two Lasagna with Meat Sauce, one Spaghetti with Meatballs, and a Fettuccine Alfredo." Renee said.
"I want the meatballs." Emmett yelled.
"I'll take the alfredo." Rosalie.
"Spaghetti Marinara for me." Alice.
"Lasagna." Jasper and Edward.
"Ok so back to what we were talking about Bella." Alice said as she swallowed a bit of her food.
"Alice I don't want one." I told her.
"You don't want what?" My mom asked.
"She doesn't want me to through her a birthday party." Alice pouted.
"Ooouu, I want to help plan it." Mom said excitedly.
"But mom I don't want a party."
"Please Bella. We've never had a big party for you. It was always just me, you, and your father. I really want to throw you a party, please, please, pleaseee."
"Fine mom, Alice, you guys can through me a party." I said.
"Yay." Alice yelled as she got up and hugged me.
"Ok so is there any big building around here where we could hold it?" my mom asked Alice.
"Not really, but we could always have it at our house." she said back.
"Yeah, that's a great idea. What about decora-"
"Can we at least wait until we get out of school?" I asked them both.
"Sure." they said at the same time. Even though they were quiet I could tell they were overly excited.
It's going to be a long two weeks.
