"That's a terrible idea Bella, the idea is to get him back not convince him you don't care."
"He thinks I only care about winning the bet this will prove I don't." Alice looked at my skeptically.
"I hope you know what you're doing." She turned back to the shirt she was deciding whether to buy or not. This was the 4th store we had gone to today and only had about two days worth of clothes. My initial excitement yesterday about shopping with Alice was gone in the first 10 minutes. Most of it was gone during school when Edward didn't even pay attention to me. He still sat with Tanya while his brothers sat at our table. Emmett continually encouraged me to go after him insisting I was better for him than Tanya. I walked over to help Alice pick out clothes. I wasn't exactly much help; almost anything she showed me I said was nice. After a while she stopped asking but I still stayed close in case she decided to ask my opinion again.
"Oh I think we're going to have to finish this tomorrow. I'm meeting Jasper tonight." I groaned to myself. It was torture enough I had to spend all today shopping and now I would do the same thing tomorrow.
"Ok." She rushed off so she could get ready before seeing Jasper. I walked slower, taking my time getting back to my car. As I walked I remembered the time I'd spend with Edward. He was so much more of a gentleman than most boys my age. I didn't think I deserved him but I knew for sure he deserved better than Tanya. I was about to walk about the door when I saw the cashier at the counter. It was Tanya. I couldn't seem to get away from her. There was no way to get out of the store without going past her. I took a deep breath and squared my shoulders. I hoped she would ignore me but I knew that was unlikely.
"Hi Bella," her voice was way too sweet. The kind of fake friendliness that usually comes from the most hateful people. I paused my steps and turned to her. My eyes narrowed slightly as I looked at her.
"Hello Tanya." She sneered at me instantly changing her whole appearance from good friend to worst enemy but the smile never left her face.
"Sorry about you and Edward but I told you he was mine." I felt the tears building but I fought them with all my strength. There was no way I was going to let this bitch see how much what she'd said had hurt me. I kept looking at her but I didn't say anything. That seemed to make her mad. "He was too good for you anyway." My anger spiked. I couldn't argue though, what she said was true. I wished that Alice had stayed; she could have handled this situation a lot better than I had any chance of. I wasn't any good at confrontation but especially not when it came to a boy.
"Yeah, he should find someone that is just as good a person as him." Her smile instantly vanished. Yes, score!
"He already has." I just coked my head to the right and smiled at her. As I walked past her I was proud of myself for looking twice as confident as I felt. When I got outside I nearly choked on my gasp. Edward was sitting on the side of his car staring at the door. His eyes widened when he saw me then quickly became bored. I guess he was here to pick up Tanya. Of course he was that's what good boyfriends did and he was definitely a good boyfriend. I closed my eyes and put my head down as I walked past him to get to my car.
"Hi Bella." I froze. He'd talked to me.
"H-Hi" I stammered. His eyes were still distant but he didn't look as angry as he did before.
"What are you doing here?"
"Just doing some shopping with Alice." He looked behind me and his eyes turned playful.
"You're by yourself though." I was so thrilled he was talking to me I didn't care that he was making fun of me.
"She had to leave early." He still had a smile on his lips and his eyes were friendlier.
"Well it's nice to see you." I smiled and nodded sadly. I didn't want to stop talking to him but I'd take what I could get. As I got in my car Tanya came out of the store. She ran to Edward and hugged him. He seemed happy enough to see her but I noticed he kept glancing over his shoulder in my direction. He missed me! The idea gave me some hope.
Sorry its another short one! =[
