I saw Emmett in his football uniform from my post on the bleachers. It was the 5th game of the season. I was lucky to come to this one, rather than go to the Basketball game tonight. I honestly just like watching Emmett run around in tight pants, I have nothing against basketball.
Two weeks had come and gone, and I had started my period, so thank god for that. Not pregnant! Boy am I glad that I'm not. Not that I'd be sad if I was, I love babies! Alice, the harlot, had been there when Emmett's parents found out I was potentially pregnant, and then that I wasn't. This was scary for me. I don't know why, but Alice doesn't seem to like me. Not that I'm complaining. She's been all over Jasper and Edward, for one, as far as she knows, Jasper is taken, by me. For two, that's my brother, who's in a relationship with my best friend! Who does she think she is?
"Yeah!" My inner rant was interrupted by the duty at hand. "Belsie! Did you see Jasper grab that pass?!" Jacob yelled from behind me. The reservation didn't have a game tonight, so they were part of our cheer section. They are usually our biggest competition this year, but right now we were in competition with the Bulls. Their cheerleader's were so annoying.
"Yes Jake! I saw that!" I was paying half attention to the game, as enticing as Emmett's ass was, I couldn't help but be excited for the soccer game tomorrow night. Edward and Jasper were on the soccer team, and my dad was a coach for it, how he found time, I've no clue "Never you mind" He would say to me and my mother when we would ask.
"Don't wait.
Don't hesitate,
For the battle has just begun.
Intimidate and dominate,
For the Spartans are number one!"
We repeated the dreadful cheer three times, ending with some spirit fingers, or in my case, a herkey kick.
I leaned on to roses shoulder as halftime grew near. "I'm so over this night"
"Me to" She said, "Well, let's go!" She yelled go, to get the crowd pumped about our dance. The half time shows is what I worked on. For football I was in charge of the cheers and dances Rose got soccer, I got basketball, girls and boys, Rose got baseball and Volleyball, and together we worked on Wrestling and our own Competitions.
The crowd went crazy. I know that at the neighboring school they make fun of cheerleaders, but I was lucky. We at Forks high not only have great school spirit but great support systems, for the most part at least. I remember when we were little I was picked on, not a lot, just enough to break my spirit. However, the bullying stopped after they got a visit from an anonymous person or persons. It was Jasper, Edward and James. I've been well respected since then.
After our dance, which was fantastic mind you, was finished we went back to the sidelines. The thing that sucked the most about games is that you didn't get to talk at all. My rules, and I couldn't break them. Speaking of breaking rules, If I had been pregnant it would have not ended badly. I hope that nobody on the squad finds out about this. For now, I've vetoed my drinking. I personally don't do drugs, but I have been drinking occasionally since about 8th grade. Terrible I know, but how do you think I almost ended up pregnant with Jasper. Yeah, don't drink kids. It's only bad for you.
Forks high Spartans won, 23 to 33, we haven't lost a game so far, hopefully this meant that we could have another season undefeated.
"Bella! Do you want to come to our house tonight?" Alice called, rather strangely, considering I thought she hated me. I agreed none the less.
"Uhm, sure. Is that okay with your parents?"
"Oh yeah! We've talked to them. Come on, you can drive us there, Emmett's got a minute before he can leave"
"Oh uh okay. Go wait at my car I'm just gonna talk to rose-Over there.." I awkwardly walked to Rose.
"Rose! Alice invited me to their house. I thought that they hated me. I thought that SHE hated me. I have to see what this is about. I'm gonna rain check the movie night for now."
"Bella" she whined.
"Shit Rose don't go all two year old on me. Fine. I'll be at your place at around- ten tonight okay? Have the popcorn ready, and pizza on the way."
"Yay! Okay. Be careful don't get all entangled in sweet little Alice's grip" I just laughed at her, why would I, I'm smarter than that.
"Shut up Rose. Bye." I called as I walked towards my car, pondering what was going on.
"Oh good I was worried you weren't going to give me a ride" Alice said, feigning sweetness.
"I'm a woman of my word Alice. Get in, please don't spill that drink on my seats.."
"Oh okay I'll try!" She sat her drink in the center console, and looked me in the eye. "I could never ruin such nice seats! What kind of car is it?"
"It's a 2013 Cadillac ATS. It's my baby. I picked her out myself. I wanted something red, but I saw the silver one and I cried of happiness. Her name is Delilah." I sighed. My car was the best thing. "I hardly drive it cause I'm afraid I'll wreck it. We usually take Edwards 2013 Volvo C70."
"Emmett is such a car freak. What kind does Rosalie and Jasper have?"
"Well, If you must know I guess, Jasper drives this gorgeous badass truck, I have one kinda like it. Well my dad does at least. It's a 2012 Titan King Cab. It's seriously like, the second best thing to drive. Rose has this amazing 2012 Lexus LS Hybrid. Honestly, I don't usually like to brag, but I have a Ducati to. Well, we all have one, we only take them out when we go to seattle." I loved my cars.
"Wow. You must have been saving you whole life. How much is your car?"
"Well..Uhm we paid about 40 grand on it. So worth it"
"When you say "we" do you mean You and Edward or, like, your parents, or you and your parents."
"OH! My dad bought our cars for us. We don't pay for them…" I trailed off, confused with the questions.
"Wow. How many siblings do you have?"
"I'm the baby, well, my mom's pregnant again, weird right, but Edward has an older brother, well I do to, but his name is James. He's 32."
"Wow you're parents have a 32 year old and are expecting a baby?"
"They had James when they were 15 and 16."
"Oh. But they bought his car too?"
"Yeah."
"How do they afford it?" I was getting uncomfortable with the questions. But, being the kind person I was, answered the best I could.
"Well, my dad owns the Hospital as I'm sure you know, my mom has an interior design company, they own La Luna jointly with the Whitlocks, and they both come from old money. My mom, when my grandma died, got 600,000 dollars from here, and her siblings got about the same amount. My dads parents are still alive, but when my great grandpa died he left Carlisle 1.3 million dollars."
Alice gave a low whistle, "Holy shit" She whispered.
"Yeah, it's crazy when I think about it. It's like we live in this house that wouldn't even show our wealth, I don't think. My parents don't really splurish on things besides cars and shit, the save their money. I think my college fund has over a million."
"Stupid fucking rich people share the fucking wealth" She thought she was quiet, I pretended not to hear. "What are millionaires doing in Forks Washington."
"Well I grew up here. My parents were both raised in the wealthy lifestyle, like private school and such, and they hated it. They wanted their kids to be more homely than that. Not to mention, it's easier to get by in Forks when you've got a baby at 16. Anyway, they told us that they liked it here, so they built their house, and then the area became a gated community. The only one in Forks." I laughed at the end
"We have a gated community-what's it even called."
"Aspen Hills. Oh fuck. I left my overnight bag at my house. Do you care if I run home after I drop you off?"
"Oh no! Sho me your house! But you're spending the night at out house?"
"No Rose, Jasper, Edward and I have a weekly movie night. Tonight is the night."
"Oh! Please oh please take me to your house."
I sighed, annoyed at her. "Okay." I turned the car around and drove the 5 minutes there.
By the time I got to the gate, Alice was literally bouncing in her seat. "Hey bill!"
"Who is that?"
I waved my hand at her to shush. "Evening Bella! Can I see your card?"
I handed his card and explained to Alice that it was needed to get in.
"But doesn't he know that you live there?"
"It's protocol. It's comforting to know that he does this, instead of just letting us in. We have certain card though. Like if there was someone holding a gun to me, I would hand him a purple card so he knew to call the Police. It's nice."
"That is nice." We pulled forward, "Which house is yours? Oh what's that place?"
"My house is the one towards the end. You'd be surprised how many wealthy people there are in Forks. That's the country club. It has a separate entrance."
"Ooh. Are you a member?"
I laughed, "NO, but I work there sometimes. We have a membership that I can use to swim and stuff. But no, I'm not a member. "
"You work?"
"Well then. Blunt aren't we. Yes I work. You can't get by being a spoilt brat. I Work there sometimes, but I usually work at La Luna."
"Emmett Just got a job there. Oh! Is this your house?"
"Yes. That one we saw back down the road a bit is the Whitlock's."
"That white brick one? It's smaller than yours."
"Yes," I said getting out and locking the doors, "They have 2 kids, and no grandkids. Their house has four bedrooms, one for each of us, then two offices and one TV Room. A huge Kitchen though. My house has 10 rooms, 11 bathrooms, and two huge entertainment rooms."
"Holy fuck"
"BELLA DON"T SWEAR" My mother called, sick of swearing.
"Mom that was my…eh friend. Sorry. Watch your mouth around my mom." I was tentative to use the word friend for Alice, but it required less explaining to my mother.
"It can't have 10 bedrooms." She didn't even say sorry for swearing. Bitch.
"Well we have a basement, with one entertainment room, my dad and moms offices are down there, and the Hales have a bedroom down there too. The main level id the kitchen, family room, breakfast nook," I listed as I showed her around the house, " James room is down here, he has five daughters, and they are having twins. Their daughters are split into rooms. Then," I ascended the stairs to my room, "Edward, Rose, Jasper and My rooms are up here. So is my and Edwards offices. This is mine."
"You have an office?"
"Yeah. It's just like small. It's like…just a desk, my computers and a bookshelf. It's tiny."
"Wow." Was Alice's response when she walked into my room. There was a California king, my laptop, which should be in my office, was on my unmade bed, and I had a dresser, small TV, and lots of bookshelves. I loved to read. My clothes were everywhere, from bras, to my cheer uniform, to my winter coat. I sat on my bed as I tried to remember where my tote was.
"Can I sit here while you gather?"
"Sure" I waved her to my bed.
"Oh wow. This is the most comfortable thing I've ever sat on."
I laughed, it was true. My bed was heaven.
I grabbed my shit and invited Alice out. "Dad! HI! This is Alice, she's Emmett's sister. She's on the squad. I'm going to their house for a dinner and then to Eva's for the movie night. Is that okay?"
"Yes dear. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have work to do." He kissed my head, patted Alice's shoulder and went down the stiars., tripping as he read his paper work.
"Mom! It's movie night!"
"I know dear. It's on the calendar. Love you!"
"Love you too. I'm going to the McCartys for dinner!"
"Okay!" I heard pans clatter and that was the end of the conversation.
"Your parents just let you do whatever you want?"
"No, if they didn't want me to go to your house they'd have said no, and I'd have obliged their wishes. They're my parents. I have to listen to them." I replied.
"Oh well I'll show you to my house!" She chirped.
"Alice, I've been to your house"
"Oh yeah. I'll show you to my room then when we get there. It's nothing like you house. It has four bedrooms. Emmett has his own, I have my own, but Megan, Carl and Derrick share a room. My parents have one, obviously, and then my mom is pregnant again, so we're going to have to shift. It'll probably be Me and Megan, Emmett and Derrick, and then the baby and Carl will share one. Ugh, I hate sharing a room. I wish I lived in a ten bedroom house. What are they even going to do when you all leave."
"Probably move to a smaller house, and save that one. Or just save all the rooms. I think my mom will get lonely, but considering they are having another I think they'll be fine."
The ride was silent for about ten minutes as we drove to her house. It was far off mine. It was right on the verge of the "ghetto" of Forks. They lived about half a mile from the school.
"Where can I park?"
She looked at her house and said "Just by the curb if that's okay.."
"Sure thing." I got out and locked my car three times just to be safe. I know, I'm a bitch. But a nice car like that amongst cars such as their I was nervous. My car made their most expensive car look like crap. "What kind of car do you parents drive?"
"uhm..they have a 2006 Subaru hatchback, and then we have a van for family travels. Emmett, I'm sure you've seen his car? I don't have one." She sighed, and it annoyed me. My Patience was running thin.
"Bella! I didn't know you were coming. Oh my god our house is a mess. I'm a mess." Alice walked into her kitchen to her parents. There were clothes on the couch waiting to be folded, toys and legos and papers everywhere. I guess when you have small children it's hard to keep a clean house. Esme now cleaned our house, not our rooms, but the house. When we were younger she had a maid so she could focus on raising us. After James I mean. They lived in a small house with James. Emmett was wearing a raggedy pair of flannels and a wife beater with stains on it.
"Fuck" Alice Called when she did something. She received no scolding for her language. Hmm, that was odd. I though her parents would be super uptight.
"Alice invited me for dinner after the game." I said, giving him a hug. We weren't dating, but we acted like we were when we could.
"Oh well, lets go to my room." I wagged my eyebrows at him, and he just laughed. "not for that pervert."
"Whatever Emmett you totes want my body."
He grabbed my waist and pushed me through his bedroom door. "I do." We commenced make out.
"Well," he sighed, pulling me to him" can we be boyfriend and girlfriend yet?"
"Emmett"I warned. I was still trying to help Jasper get Lauren off his back. "You know I want to I just have to put my friend first."
"I know" He sighed, "C'mon, lets eat" He pulled me up and led me to his kitchen.
"They spent 40000 dollars on a car for her alone? And they all have cars? What a spoilt family. Oh my god. I can't believe this. They have a ten bedroom house. Rich people make me sick. With their fancy cars and High society attitudes."
I stood there. I knew that people didn't like us for our money, but to even be stupid enough to say such things while someone is in their home? What?
"Mom!" Emmett yelled at Gia. Alice was standing next to her father, holding the bay, whom I assumed was Carl. She had this look on her face. A look of satisfaction, deceit, bitchiness, and complete and total disapproval.
