The whole way home I thought of Edward. Edward. The name just seemed to roll off my tongue in an appeasing way. I smiled to myself as I sat at a stoplight, until I remembered the look he had given me. What had I done to him for him to already hate me? It's not like I've even said one word to him. I sighed as I hit the gas pedal as the light turned green.
I was very surprised to find that I had indeed received a call from the café. I had only told Mike that I was in a hurry to find out so I could skip out on one of his conversations. It was hard trying to have a friendship with Mike because I would never consider him anything more than a friend, and he obviously wanted something more. And it didn't help that Jessica didn't like me because according to Angela, Jessica has a thing for Mike. Oh the drama, if only I could avoid it.
It was a relief to hear that the café wanted to set up an interview with me right away, as they were short an employee and were expecting big business with the start of the school year. I called the number the person had left and made an interview time for tomorrow since I didn't have school. After hanging up the phone, I dropped into the couch, ki cking my feet up and leaning back. I closed my eyes and tried to clear my mind from the long, interesting day.
I didn't notice that I fell asleep until I started to feel hungry. Slowly opening my eyes I noticed it was after eight. Groaning, I got up and decided to have cereal for dinner. Watching TV, I decided to give Jacob a call after I finished eating.
"Hello?" A familiar husky voice answered.
"Jake!" It was so nice hearing his voice.
"Bella! How're you?" I could hear how happy he was to talk to me.
"I'm good. Made it through my first day of classes."
"Oh, I forgot you started today! How were they?"
"Pretty good, I didn't embarrass myself… yet." I laughed.
"Oh Bella, you won't embarrass yourself."
"Be serious Jake." I rolled my eyes, though I know he couldn't see me.
"Ok, maybe a little. But I'm sure you've made some friends."
"Yeah…" I started to tell Jake about Mike and Angela, leaving out the part of finding out the Cullens went here, and continued to telling him about how I had a job interview tomorrow.
"Wow Bella, sounds like your gonna have an awesome semester. Don't forget to come visit me though!"
"I won't Jake. I'll be home soon hopefully."
"Ok cool… uhh… I have to go. I'll talk to you later Bella! Bye!" Jacob sounded like something had just happened, but hung up before I could ask if everything was ok.
I hung up my phone. At least I had gotten to talk to Jacob. Though, I didn't tell him about the death glare I had received from Edward. Rubbing my eyes and noticing the time, I figured it would be best if I showered and went to bed, seeing as I would have to be up in the morning for my job interview.
What was appropriate to wear to a job interview for a café? I decided on a pair of black pants and a light pink blouse that Renee had packed for me before I left. Thank goodness she did, otherwise I don't know if I would have had anything to wear to the interview that was dressy enough. My hair wasn't horrible but it wasn't great, so I just pulled the top back. Looking at my phone, I noticed I had about an hour before the interview, figuring I should be there fifteen minutes early and it only took me a few minutes to drive there. I turned on the TV for awhile until I decided I should leave, giving myself a half hour to get there. Maybe that would leave a good impression. Slipping on a pair of black flats, I was out the door.
It's a good thing I left early, because there was surprisingly a lot of traffic at 10:30 a.m. I got there with fifteen minutes to spare, talking to the lady at the counter and taking a seat at the table she told me to sit at. A few minutes later, a short blond woman called me back behind the counter into an office.
"Hi, I'm Sarah May, and I'm the owner of the Cool Bean Café. It's nice to meet you Isabella." The woman stuck out her hand and offered it to me.
"Bella actually," I smiled as I shook her hand.
The interview went quite smoothly. Sarah, who seemed to be in her early thirties, although she looked much younger, seemed really excited that I was interested and by the end of the interview, she had offered me the job. I took the job, happy that I would be working behind the counter most the time, mostly with the cash register. I would be working starting next week on Tuesday's, Friday's, and some Sunday's which worked out because I didn't have classes Tuesday20or Friday and I would be in town anyways on Sunday's.
Leaving the café, I had the rest of the day with nothing to do. None of my classes gave homework on the first day, which was nice, except I had nothing to do. I decided after grabbing a bite to eat, I would explore my surroundings. I found a cheaper grocery store that was closer to my apartment, stocking up on food so I wouldn't have to go out again soon. The mall wasn't that far either, though it wasn't that big.
The day passed slowly, but I was able to go back to my apartment with just a few hours left before I had to get ready for classes tomorrow. I brought my groceries inside, stocking them in the cupboards. I decided I would make spaghetti for dinner, eating at the table. There was nothing on TV, so I decided to take a shower and head to bed early, seeing as I would have to be up early anyways for Algebra. As I went to bed, I wondered if Edward would be in History. The thought of seeing him again sent butterflies through my stomach, though it shouldn't. Or should it?
