Disclaimer: I don't anything. Twilight and its characters all belong to Stephenie Meyer & song belongs to the lovely Katy Perry. But I do own this story and the plot so that's good enough for me. Wahaha! Anything that happens in this story, that happened to you in real life is just pure coincidence. LOL.
Full Summary: Bella Swan has always been "One of the Boys". She also happens to be in love with her best-friend, Edward Cullen. Too bad Edward only sees her as a friend or at least that's what she thinks… So what happens when after one summer, she decides to trade in her jeans for miniskirts? Inspired by Katy Perry's One of the Boys. Rated M for future lemons.
Chapter 10:
BPOV:
You know how in those Bring It On movies, it would start off with the head cheerleader having a bad dream? Whether it be Kirsten Dunst performing in front of a crowd only to realize she's naked or Hayden Panettiere farting while on top of a pyramid during a performance during prom? Well, that's exactly what happened to me. Minus the whole cheer-leading part that is. I'm talking about a full-pledged nightmare.
In my nightmare, it was the first day of school. I got out of my Chevy and started heading towards the school building. But something was… wrong. No. Not wrong. More than wrong. It was HORRIBLE. People were staring at me… and not in a good way. I saw everyone throwing me pretty nasty looks. Some were laughing at me… some looked at me in disgust…and some just stared with eyes wide-open and their jaws on the floor. Was there something on my face? I touched my face and took a good look at my palms.
Nothing.
So what were they laughing about? I continued walking, but as I did, I saw some familiar faces.
I saw Lauren Mallory leaning against her car, laughing her head off as well as her Army of Skanks. After her, I saw the football team whistling at me. Then saw I Emmett and Jasper laughing so hard that they were already in tears while Alice and Rose looked at me with disappointment.
Seeing everyone look at me like that, hurt me so much… But what hurt the most was when I saw Edward.
He wasn't laughing like everyone else, but instead, he looked at me with no emotion of whatsoever. His expression was… blank… and instead of rescuing me from everyone else, he just walked away…
I soon found myself in tears and started running out of the parking lot and into the school building. But everywhere I went, everyone was laughing at me. Not just students, but even the school faculty. Heck, Mrs. Cope, the school secretary, was laughing at me. I ran to the safest place I thought of.
The girls bathroom.
As soon as I went in, I found no one there. Thankfully. I thought that my nightmare was over. But it wasn't. As soon as I looked at the mirror, I finally found out why people were laughing at me.
I looked at the mirror only to find a boy… and what's worse, the boy was me. Not only was I a boy… I was a boy… in a dress... A dress that only a female cast member of a production of Grease would wear... or my Grandma Marie. I then let out an ear-shattering scream.
Pretty soon, I found myself awake, sitting up on my bed with sweat trickling down my neck. I start touching my hair, face and breasts. I had breasts. Oh thank God.
"Its just a dream Bella…" I mumbled to myself.
I look at my iHome Radio to find out that it's only 3:46 in the morning. School doesn't start until 8:00, but since I'm already awake, I might as well as start getting ready. I decided to take a cold shower to try and relax myself.
After taking a shower and drying myself with a towel, I went into my room and looked into my closest to pick out my clothes for today. Back then, I could've cared less what I'd wear to school. I'd just grab whatever I could find since all I wore back then were bowling shirts and jeans. But that was before. Things were different now. I'm different now.
I ended up wearing a matching lacy blue bra-and-panty-set from Victoria's Secret, a ¾ sleeve midnight blue Henley and my denim shorts, both of which I bought from Abercrombie & Fitch, and a pair of dark blue Tory Burch ballerina flats.
After getting dressed, I made my way back to my bathroom and started working on my hair and make-up. With the technique's Alice and Rose taught me, I managed to give myself those gorgeous Blair-Waldorf-like-curls. I didn't add a headband or anything because I thought that would be over-doing it.
As for the makeup, I just went with a tiny bit concealer, eye-liner, some eye-shadow and a bit of DuWop Lip Venom that gave my lips a tingling feeling. As soon I finish, I take a look at myself from the whole body mirror located in my room.
I must say, I think I did a pretty good job… for an amateur that is. But before heading down stairs for a quick breakfast, I opened the first two buttons of my Henley to show a little bit of cleavage, as Rose told me to do so when wearing shirts with buttons.
After eating a quick breakfast, I made my way back upstairs and into my room. I look at my clock only to find out that it was only 5:30. Damn. It was still too early. I then check my iPhone only to find (2) Unread messages. One from Edward that was sent last night, and one from Alice sent around 4:52am this morning. I first read Edward's text:
Bella,
I heard you had to go home early. I'm so sorry.
Emmett's Jeep broke down last night.
I'll just see you tomorrow at school ok?
We'll be there early.
Can't wait to see you...
Love, Edward
I couldn't help but notice the word love before Edward's name. I only wish it meant something…
After reading his text, I read Alice's:
B! U better be awake ryt now. 2day's the day!
We'll be there early. Cn't wait! Hope u picked a cute outfit.
I trust your judgments. Hope u actually learned somethin' frm me n Rose ;)
xoxo, A
Oh I learned alright. A LOT actually. And hopefully, it's going to be enough for later. I still had a little time to kill so I decided to skim through my latest issue of Seventeen and before I know it, it's already 7:00. I grabbed my things and headed out the door, into my Chevy, and start heading for school. As soon as I reach the parking lot, I parked far enough for people not to see my car. I can see Edward leaning against his Volvo looking very sexy. As always. I noticed that he looks a little more built than I last seen him. He was wearing a dark blue muscle tee and jeans. I can also see Alice, Jasper, Rose and Emmett. Alice was wearing a pretty black dress that made her look like a gothic-ballerina or something. I must say it's pretty… Rose was wearing a red off-shoulder top, jeans, and red pumps. They were all just standing around Edward's Volvo… I think they were waiting for me…
"This is it Bella… the moment of truth…" I tell myself before getting out of the car.
But as before I can get out, a series of questions flood my head.
Is this really going to work? What if people laugh at me? Like they did in my dream? Will people hate it? WILL EDWARD HATE IT?
It's not too late to go back home and fake sickness or something… Besides, Dad's not at the house right now… He left early for work. I know I was being a being a coward… but… I couldn't help it…
I was snapped out of my thoughts when I felt my iPhone vibrate in the pocket of my jeans. It was Rose.
Bitch, get out of the car already.
Me and Alice can c u in ur car.
The suspense is killing me!
~Rose
Shit.
Ok Bella, It's now or never. I quickly say a final prayer before I got out of the car and started walking towards the school and towards my funeral…
EPOV:
I couldn't sleep well last night. I was too excited for school and it wasn't because I was going to see everyone else again. No. I could care less about everyone else. Not even my team-mates.
All I wanted to see was her.
I ended up waking around 5:00 in the morning. I thought I was the first one up but as I headed down the hallway and down the stairs for breakfast, I can hear Alice singing Wannabe by Spice Girls from her room. Ah! My ears! I was already blind from last night, I didn't need to be deaf…
As soon as I reached the kitchen, I ate my breakfast quickly before heading back upstairs to take a quick shower. After my shower, I dressed in a fitted blue muscle tee and a pair of jeans.
"This is it… you're going to see her in less than an hour…" I told myself.
It's been months since I last saw her and I don't think I can stand another minute without her.
I was going to tell her my true feelings soon. I wasn't going to back out. I just needed to think of a way to tell her… I could always tell her at school… but then there was too many people… I could tell her when I will take her out at La Bella Italia again… but then that bitch-of-a-waiter Amber could and most likely will ruin the moment… I could tell her here at my house… but then again, we wouldn't get privacy no thanks to my siblings amd parents… Argh! Shit!
I kept thinking of places where I could tell her but every time I could think of a place, there'd always be a problem. It's bad enough that it was difficult to tell her…
Just when I was about to give up, I finally thought of the perfect place.
The meadow.
It was a place no one else knew about. It was our special place. Perfect.
I found myself smiling because it was almost time to leave for school. Emmett was going to take his Jeep to pick up Rosalie, while Alice was going to get a ride with me in my Volvo.
"Edward, stop smiling to yourself. It's kinda creepy." I heard my sister say from my doorway.
"I can't help it Alice." I confessed still smiling.
"Don't worry. I feel the same way. I'm excited too." she assured me.
"Alice, this is different. I haven't seen her in months. You were practically with her everyday."
Which is what I envy about my sister. She got to spend almost every waking minute with Bella while I was at camp.
"True... but it's not Bella that I'm excited to see..." she muttered.
"No? Then what?" I asked.
"You'll find out..." she said giving me a tiny wink before heading downstairs.
Okay? Well I was too excited to even think about what Alice meant by that.
By the time we get to school, Emmett, Rose, and Jasper were already there. I parked right next to Emmett's Jeep. It was still early for classes to start so all of us just waited in the parking lot for Bella. The suspense is killing me...
I lean against my car counting every minute when she'll be here...
I can't relax. Everytime I see someone with brown hair walk by, I think that it's Bella...
"Edward relax. She'll be here..." Alice assured me in a low-key voice.
"Yeah... but what's taking her so long?" I grumbled.
As soon as I said this, Alice and Rose's faces lighten up and they're both giving each other a huge grin. I turn to look at Emmett & Jasper only to find them staring at one direction with their eyes wide-open as well as their jaws. What they hell were they all looking at?
I soon follow their gazes and see what they're looking at.
HOLY MOTHER FUCKING SHIT.
My eyes must be deceiving me. It was Bella. Bella Swan. As in Bella Swan, the girl I'm in love with.
But she was... different... she was... was... breath-taking...
Hair was down instead of the usual ponytail she wears. She had long brown curls that stopped at the curve of her breasts. Holy shit she has boobs. I mean, I know she has them, but I never noticed how big they were because she was always wearing oversized t-shirts or football jerseys... but right now... she was wearing a 3/4 sleeve midnight blue henley with the first two buttons open giving her the right amount of cleavage.
I could feel myself getting a hard-on already. And if I thought that I was already hard because of her breasts, her legs weren't doing me any justice.
She was also wearing a very short pair of denim shorts that showed her gorgeous curves not to mention her flawless long legs.
Those legs can go on for days...
With every step she took, she was closing in on us, and I could feel my heart beat a million times faster. What the hell happened to her? I couldn't help notice other people looking at her as she made her way to our group. I can see peoples face drop in amazement and shock. I can also see some of my teammates of mine gawking at her.
I don't know why, but I soon found my anger building up inside me when I saw all the guys looking at her like that. Including my teammates. They shouldn't be allowed look at her like that. I know she's not my girlfriend but... Argh! I just hated how they'd look at her...
"Edward!" I hear her yell as she runs towards me. I open my arms to give her a big hug. As soon she's in my arms, I feel as though I found the missing puzzle piece. I buried my nose in her hair and I can smell Strawberries and Freesia...
Shit.
This girl was going to be the death of me.
I wish we could stay like this forever. Her in my arms... I missed her too much to let her go... Unfortunately she pulls away from our hug...
"You look... wow..." I tell her. I couldn't really find the right words to describe her. Beautiful? Gorgeous? Divine? Stunning? None...
Those words weren't enough...
"Er... thanks..." she says in a quiet voice. She then starts blushing. Oh god. She looks even more adorable.
"Damn Swan! Looking great!" Emmett exclaimed.
"Wow Bella. Nice. Really Nice." Jasper complimented.
"Aw! Thanks guys!" she says giving my brother and Jasper a smile.
"Seriously Bells, What. Happened. To. You?" my brother inquired. Normally, I'd slap him, but in this case, I'm actually wondering the same thing.
"Well, Alice and Rose happened. That's what." she says giving my sister and Rose a quick wink. Ok. Something was up. I needed to find out what...
But before I can even ask Bella anything about her summer, the bell rings and we all headed to our classes. Bella and me didn't have classes together during the morning. Which sucked. So I told her that we'd see each other during lunch time...
By third period, I was already dying of boredom. I had Government with Jefferson and it was the worst. He sort of reminded me of that teacher in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
That teacher that would go: Bueller... Bueller... Bueller...
I hardly paid any attention to him like everyone else. Everyone was in their own little world or talking to each other about summer. Jasper was already asleep beside me. I guess he hardy got any sleep last night... come to think of it... UGH! Nevermind... I don't even want to think about it...
I was about to fall asleep to when I overheard Mike Newton and Tyler Crowley, my teammates who were sitting behind me, talk about Bella.
"Dude, have you seen Swan this morning?" Mike asked Tyler.
"Pshhh! Who hasn't! Everyone's practically talking about her. She must have had one amazing summer... "
Everyone was what?
"I know man... She's one fine piece of ass now. I don't know why I've never noticed when we played football with her... "
Piece of ass... I can feel my blood boiling right then and there...
"Speaking of her ass, I had first period with her. Mr. Mason made her write on the board and since she's not that tall, she had reach up to write on the board."
"So?" Tyler said unimpressed.
"SO! Dude! I saw her wearing a blue lacy thong."
"Holy shit man!" Tyler exclaimed.
"Are you sure you saw what you think you saw?" he added.
"Dude, I'm sure."
"Well Damn. Never knew she had it in her... wait, she's single right?"
"Yeah... I think so... why?"
"Well Mike, I'm about to get me some of that!" Tyler says confidently.
That's it! I don't know what came over me but I turned around and grabbed the front of Tyler's shirt ferociously.
"Don't you dare try anything with her! Let alone, think about her like that! The same goes for you Newton!" I shout at them.
"Sorry man... we didn't know-" Tyler said but before he could finish the voice of Mr. Jefferson cuts him off.
"Is there a problem over here Mr. Cullen?"
"No sir..." I lied. There is a problem. A major problem.
"Well then, as I was saying..." Mr. Jefferson then continues from where he left off.
I give Mike and Tyler one last glare before I turn my back to my seat. From the corner of my eye, I can see Jasper looking at me with a worried expression on his face.
"Hey man... you ok?" he asks curiously.
"You know what? No. I'm actually not." I honestly tell him. I wasn't ok.
As soon as class was finished, I told Jasper I'd just meet him at lunch and went out of the classroom in a rush, to find the person who started this whole thing.
ALICE.
Luckily enough, I see her by her locker getting her books and heading for her next class. But before she can take another step, I grabbed her arm and dragged her into a corner where no one can interrupt our conversation.
"Alice, what the hell have you done to my best friend!" I demanded.
"What are you talking about? If you're referring to Bella's new look then yes. I'm responsible for that. In fact, me and Rose are. Why? Is there something wrong?" she asked.
"Something wrong! Alice! I asked you to keep watch over her, not turn her into one of your little Malibu-Barbie-Experiments!" I exclaimed.
"For crying out loud I was like 10 that time! You guys will never live it down..." she grumbled.
"And oh please Edward, don't act like you don't like it. I saw the way you were looking at her this morning in the parking lot." she added.
"No. I don't like it. I love it. But you know what I don't love? That fact that every guy here is planning to go after her!" I shouted.
If I thought telling her that I loved her before was hard, it was nearly impossible now.
"Edward, trust me, Bella isn't interested in any of them." she says like it's a matter-of-fact.
"Alice, why do you say it like you're so sure?"
"Because!"
"Because what?"
"Because she l-... I... Ahh!" Alice yelled in frustration.
"Just trust me Edward. I just know." she looks at me with pleading eyes.
Twin telepathy is telling me to trust her... there's something that Alice probably knows that I don't. But I'm just too frustrated already to pick a fight with my sister.
Besides, she didn't do anything wrong technically... she just wanted to make Bella feel good about herself... The bad part was, she made her attractive enough for every other guys to notice her but Alice tells me that Bella isn't interested...
My instincts just tell me to believe her. Besides, Alice was some sort of psychic... and she has never been wrong about anything once...
"Fine. I guess you should get to class now."
"Yeah... I'm going to be a little late because of you... thanks a lot Edward." she says sarcastically.
"I'm sorry.." I apologized.
"It's fine. I was actually planning to ditch. I have Chemistry with Mr. Banner right now."
Oh Mr. Banner... Speaking of, I saw him enter the school earlier today, with Arachne in his hands. That's spider is still causing madness in the hallways. Girls were practically screaming at Mr. Banner to Take it away! or Kill it already!
When Mr. Banner heard this, he looked at them as though they told him they saw pigs flying outside the window...
"Well, I see you later sis." I told Alice before heading for my next class.
As soon as it was lunch, I made my way quickly to the table where we usually sat and during the whole time, we just talked about how summer went. Bella told me about how she spent the summer with Alice and Rose but she didn't go into full detail. Damn. That was what I wanted to know.
She also told me about how she went to La Push with her dad during some weekends because of her dad's friend or something... I dunno. I wasn't really paying attention when she was telling us this. I was looking at her the whole time...
She looked so... different... and she was more girly than before... But underneath the glitz and the glamor, I can still see the same girl I fell in love with.
It seemed like only a few minutes of Lunch. I needed more time with her. Luckily me and Bella both had Spanish with Mrs. Goff. Mrs. Goff was the kind of teacher who doesn't start lectures on the first day of school so me and Bella had more time to talk to each other. We talked about everything from our summer, games on ESPN... blah blah blah.
But every time she would talk, I would find myself staring at her eyes and lips. How I wanted to kiss those lips of hers...
As soon as the first day of school ends, Me, Bella, Alice and Jasper all walk out of the school building and into the parking lot. When we reached the steps near the entry of the building, something catches my eye.
I see a very tall, built and tanned skin guy leaning against what looks like a Harley Davidson Low Rider was looking at us.
"Bella!" I hear him shout.
Wait, what the fuck? Who the fuck is this guy?
"Jake!" I heard Bella shout before running down the steps to approach him. As soon as she reaches him, I can see him pulling her into a hug and lifting her in the air.
If I thought I was furious before, I was seeing red all over now...
Well I don't know about you guys but that is a pretty interesting first-day... and it got even more interesting when Jacob shows up... Wonder what's he doing there...
But the better question is what's going to happen next... ;)
