Bella:
3rd March 2006
Edward was actually really clever. I'd learnt so while doing this biology project with him. For a while now, I genuinely thought he was fairly stupid, but I have been proved wrong. It's really weird, actually. Also, when we're doing the project, he will be fairly nice, but other than that, he's still Jerkward. Yep, I've continued calling him that nickname ever since that biology lesson. He hates it.
Making the model bodies is a hell of a lot harder than I ever thought it would be. The heads were the easiest bit, but the rest is damn hard. It's not even like I have a creative mother to help me. Oh, yeah, by the way, I'm not even speaking to my mother anymore. Wanna know why? Because she visited her scumbag loser of a husband who tried to molest me, Phil, in prison. I think that just about crosses the line, so I've been ignoring her calls and emails ever since.
On a brighter note, mine and Jake's plan worked, and Angela and Ben have gone on a couple of dates. They're going slow, but at least it's a start.
"Hello?" I questioned as I answered my phone since it had begun to ring.
"Hey Bells!" Jake said happily. Other than my dad, he was the only person who called me 'Bells'.
"Hey Jake, what can I do for ya?" I asked happily.
"Well, we were all wondering if you wanted to join us down at the rez?" Jake asked.
"Yeah, of course! Is Angela already there?" I asked him.
"No, why?" Jake questioned.
"I can cycle down with her!"
"Ok, see you in a bit."
"Bye!" I said, then hung up the phone. I quickly texted Angela and she replied saying she would be at my house in 5 minutes.
I grabbed my rucksack and stuffed in my phone, a jacket, and some food in case we got hungry. Angela arrived then, and so we started cycling towards the beach, La Push. When we got there, we saw that Jake, Quil, Embry and Ben were already waiting for us. I waved over to them, and me and Angela got off our bikes. Just as we were walking along the beach, I saw Edward with a group of girls, none of which I recognised.
I quickly looked away, and hoped he wouldn't notice.
"NERDELLA!" Edward shouted over to me. No such luck, then. I just decided to ignore him, and hopefully he would shut up.
"Hey, Nerdella, are you deaf?" Edward asked while walking over to me.
"Sorry, did you say something?" I asked him.
"Whatever, nerd. I see your nerd group has grown." Edward said. It was quite brave of him, considering the size of Jake, Quil, Embry and Ben. But then I realised they were still walking off, so I hurried to catch up with them, hoping Edward would leave me alone.
"Do you actually need anything, or are you just here to wind me up, Jerkward?" I asked him.
"Bit of both, actually. How much work have you done on the project?" He asked.
"I only have one leg left to finish, why?" I said worriedly.
"Good. Because I've only done the head and an arm." Edward said.
"What the hell? Are you actually serious? If you mess this project up, I swear, you had better fear for your life!" I shouted at him. How could he have done nothing?
"That's where you come in. You do my model, too." Edward said casually.
"No way in hell am I doing your work." I told him.
"But what will we have to show the class?" Edward asked.
"Well, I'll show my half, and then when you come to show your half, you will have nothing to show, and so it'll all be you who gets shouted at." I said to him, grinning slightly when he had the smallest look of dread on his face.
"But I don't know how to make the model." Edward whined.
"Well you should have thought about that earlier." I told him.
"Hey Bells, are you alright?" Jake asked, and I was relieved he was here.
"Yeah, we were just talking. You can go now." Edward said coldly.
"She can speak for herself, are you alright, Bella?" Jake asked again, putting emphasis on my name.
"Yeah, I'm fine. This conversation is over, anyway." I said before storming away. Edward looked like he was going to protest, but Jake stopped him.
"Is that the Masen dude?" Jake asked me.
"Yep, how did you know?" I asked sarcastically. We walked in silence back to our group, and was sure I was being a kill-joy the rest of the evening. I just wasn't in the mood since Edward. I just can't believe he hasn't done anything for the project. I mean; he's smart, he should realise how important this is, and that it isn't a pointless homework. But no, he doesn't seem to care.
"Guys, I'm quite tired, so I think I should probably go home now, my dad wanted me home earlier tonight as well. Ange, will you be alright getting home?" I asked, and she just nodded. I smiled and waved to my friends, before quickly peddling home. On the way, though, I made a small detour to a shop in the town area, to get some paint, glue, and other craft supplies.
When I got home, I spent all night making a paper mâché body, much like the female once I had made, only male. The only thing I didn't make was a head, but I did make another arm, just in case. I looked over to the clock to see what time it was, and at first didn't believe it when it said it was 6:30 a.m. I have school today! And I've stayed up all night making a paper mâché body just because Edward's too lazy to do it himself. All that's left to do now is wait for the pieces to dry, put them together, and paint it. Fun.
It felt weird to be eating breakfast when I hadn't had any sleep, and I definitely wasn't looking forward to school today.
Dad dropped me off at school, and I slowly walked over to Angela, who was, as usual, waiting for me. I felt like an actual zombie.
"What's up with you?" Angela asked me.
"I didn't have any sleep…stupid Masen…had to make his body last night…" I told her, and then yawned really loudly.
I almost fell asleep in all my lessons, and Angela had to keep nudging me to stay awake. By the time it was biology, I was majorly sleep deprived, and feeling very grouchy. This will be fun.
"Woah! What happened to you? Are you going to try to eat my brains?" Edward said jokingly, but I was too tired to be marginally nice.
"Maybe it's because idiots who are actually smart are too stupid to do their work." I snapped at him.
"What? And that kept you awake all night?" Edward asked, sounding more than a little bit shocked.
"No, making the damn body you were supposed to make is what kept me awake all night you jerk." I said harshly to him. Lack of sleep was definitely not good for me.
"You…you did that…for me?" Edward asked me, not even flinching at my harsh tone. Damn him.
"No, I did it so that our presentation wouldn't be a total mess up."
A/N: Silly Edward! What do you think of his reaction to what Bella did? :O
Review please!
