Chapter 11 - Monday

It was Friday and I was bored out of my head. I really wanted to text someone, anyone, but I, like, had no phone. Ugh! I hated my life! I hated that my sister was like a stuck up cow who thinks she's better than everyone else! I hated that my dad was away all the time then decides to come rushing back now for when Bella gets out of the hospital, taking a weeks leave to look after her!

I was, like, sat on the edge of my group of friends, I was like definitely going to see Bella tonight, I just had to work myself up to it, that was all. I wanted so badly to, like, throw something right then.

I was gonna, like, skive learning support again today, I didn't feel like going. And Edward's been practically oblivious to me! What is wrong with him? All the other guys at school want this but no, he has to be difficult! Argh!

"Who do you like at this school then?" it was a boy, I didn't know who, so they must not be cool enough, I only hang around with cool people.

"No one," I knew who that sexy voice belonged to though, Edward Cullen.

"Come on! There's plenty of hot girls here, all blondes," yeah Edward, I'm hot, I'm blonde, why don't you like pay any attention to me?

"I prefer brunettes," oh, so that's why.

"There's still some hot brunettes around."

"I know," yeah and you'll know one more hot brunette on Monday.

I sat next to Edward again in biology third, I tried to flirt again, I did like everything! like I had all week in biology lessons! but it didn't work again! Maybe if I were like brunette he would take more notice. I would use those hairdresser vouchers daddy gave me and have them like dye my hair back to brown.

That evening, after school, I went into Portangeles and tried to get an appointment. After like fifteen minutes of begging, threatening, whining – I tried like everything – they were still completely booked up tonight, I couldn't believe it.

Then Brent went and got me an appointment for Sunday. I couldn't wait till then, I wanted my hair dyed now! Why did everything in my life have to be so stupid and awkward?!

Then I did a little kissing in the back of Brent's car, he was such a puppy, it was like getting kinda boring really. He took me out to dinner at Mc Donnalds like I had got him to do all week, cause Bella didn't cook, god she was a bitch! I hated junk food, there were so many calories! And then if I didn't eat anything Brent would start laughing at me, so I just had to eat it all! I put on so much weight over that week.

We were going to go back to Forks but I told him I had to visit Bella in the hospital, he wanted to come with me, but I didn't want him to come. No, I wasn't afraid of Bella! I was like twenty three minutes older than her for gods sake!

I saw her through the door eating a bloody lasagne, and enjoying it! How dare she?! I walked into her room, "Oh my god I cant believe you just like left me to starve, for a week! I'm like your sister! Sisters just don't do that to each other!"

"Sisters don't beat each other up either," she hissed totally giving me evills.

"I was drunk, you cant blame me for anything I do while I'm drunk! You know that!" of course it doesn't count when I'm drunk!

"Well, I suggest you don't get drunk then, because I'm sick and tired of it Keira! I swear to god, if you do anything like this again I wont be so forgiving," why did I have to have a sister like mine? Stuck up bitch who like thinks she owns the world, including me!

"What?!" I still couldn't believe what she said, she was so evil, was she really threatening me?

"I mean it Keira, you've hid behind excuses for far too long," excuses?! She thinks I'm like the shit on the bottom of her shoe! Skank!

"Ugh! I hate you!" I screamed again and stood up to go out of the hospital while like knocking her stupid food out of her skanky hands.

I ran out to the car and like shouted at Brent to take me home. I didn't say anything to him I was like way too angry. I got home and went straight to my bed. Oh joy, Bella's coming home tomorrow!

But the whole day went past and she didn't come home. And then I was like getting ready to go out. I had on like my fave silver sparkly dress, it was good cause it showed off my boobs, bum and legs, not many dresses do that. I put some leggings on underneath and wrapped a large coat around me, so daddy wouldn't like throw a fit when he saw me.

I got out of the house without being caught and like started putting on my make up in the car. I took off my leggings and I could like see Brent watching my legs in the mirror, hehe!

I don't remember much from then on cause that's when we started drinking, Jessica had like nicked a bottle of vodka from her parents...

It was Sunday and it was like two in the afternoon. Shit! I had my hair appointment in like an hour!

I looked in the mirror, oh god my hair was totally, completely.... gorgeous!! I loved it, it was so straight and shiny and silky and shiny and sleek and silky! And it flicked in at the ends and shaped my face perfectly! I was sexy and like totally luscious! Edward won't be able to resist this!

I got back and Bella was like eyeing my new hair, god what was her problem? I forgot how well brown goes with my face, I was looking in the mirror still. I was trying out different expressions, which was the best?

Even though Bella had had the like the whole week off, lying in a stupid bed, she didn't cook, we had pizza. Stupid calories, stupid, lazy Bella!

Monday morning was not good. I had left like all my make up in the car last night so I had to use the crappy stuff that I like totally hated, and then dad had caught me like five times and told me to change! I had like completely given up and changed into some of Bella's clothes as a joke but them he told me I was going to school like that! I could not believe him!

Dad drove me to school, grr I hated this! He was acting like I was like five! I like finally got out the car and almost ran over to my friends, I like saw them standing around Brent's black Audi, and then they saw me.

"woo, Bella has boobs!"

"and make up, she's definitely looking sexy today!" the wagged their eyebrows at me, oh my god I cannot believe they thought I was Bella!

Edward's POV

Alice had told me that Bella was back in school today, but I had to see for myself. I was so glad she was here but shouldn't she be resting?

She turned to me and I noticed her hair was different, it was short and spiky, a little like Alice's but longer, and brown.

"You got a haircut," I stated while giving her a hug and releasing her, I wasn't sure I liked it though, it just didn't seem like something she would do.

She grinned up at me, "Hi Edward," she leaned closer to me.

"So, history first then?"

"Yep," she nodded, "I like forgot the homework though, could I like copy yours?"

"Sure," I said automatically, though this wasn't like Bella, I had seen her do it myself.

History passed and Bella seemed really weird, she didn't take any notes, she giggled and fluttered her eyelashes at me constantly, she was even stroking my arm. Her behaviour was really off and as soon as the bell went, I stood up immediately and walked out. She soon jumped up and followed, we left our stuff there because we had history again after break.

In break she wouldn't let go of my arm, and she smelled of smoke? Maybe her dad smoked or something. But she wouldn't shut up, she went on in a falsely high pitched voice about something trivial, like make up or something, like it was the most important thing in the world.

In PE third, she sat on the sidelines watching because of her rib, and she wouldn't stop grinning and waving at me. It was quite irritating, not like before when she grinned at me, my heart stopped and I practically melted on the spot – I know, I'm pathetic, no need to go on about it! But this was different and she was constantly twirling her new, short hair around her fingers like she was three, but not at all that cute.

What was wrong with me? I only just got her and now I was aching to get rid of her! I decided to hang on till the end of the week, if she was still unbearably annoying I would dump her, I know it sounds really harsh, and I wont enjoy doing it but still, I would enjoy staying with her even less. Okay, okay, that still sounds really callous.

I sat next to Ben in tutor, I didn't even know why we had tutor, we never did anything in it. I wonder if anyone else noticed Bella's strange behaviour today. I turned to see him laughing at something Mike had said, I hadn't heard what was so funny but I didn't really care, Mike was annoying.

"Did Bella seem a little strange to you today?" I asked him quietly, although the teacher didn't care that we were talking and doing practically nothing constructive, he would tell anyone off for being too loud.

"Yeah, I guess, she had a haircut, and she was all over you! Well done mate! What did you do?"

"I asked her out?" my uncertainty made it sound like a question.

"Wow, I wish I had that effect on girls," he said slightly wistfully, then turned back to his conversation with Mike, completely unhelpful in any way, shape or form.

I avoided Bella after tutor, we both had a free, all our year had a free, but I quickly escaped to my Volvo and waited for Alice and Emmett. She walked out of school slowly with Angela, not Bella I noticed with relief, then a whole lot of guilt. But she was eyeing someone out the corner of her eye, I scanned across the scene to see a tall, lanky blonde guy looking back at her. Should I give Alice grief for this? No, if Emmett finds out she'll have enough to go through with that alone!

Emmett was only a few seconds behind her, walking with his arm around a blonde girl who was kind of beautiful, but she appeared utterly plain when I pictured Bella's face the first time I had seen her. The same Bella I was avoiding now. It was like she was a totally different person.

I waited, a little tense, for them to get in the car, Alice immediately, and predictably, launched into a lengthy monologue, which ended – I couldn't be bothered to listen to the beginning half, it would be completely irrelevant by the time I had to answer – with "so Bella was being really weird today, I wonder what has gotten into her? I thought she had picked up a little fashion sense over the weekend or her dad had treated her and taken her shopping or something, but she was acting completely different as well, I knew she liked you before but she was always kinda shy, and she blushed like constantly, whenever anyone mentioned your name or if she looked at you! But not one blush today! And she was wearing make up! I had tried to convince her to wear make up before but she was really doubtful about the whole idea! Well, maybe it was the party or something someone said to her," she finished.

When she mentioned Bella blushing I could feel the slight stutter of my heart, I still liked knowing that Bella liked me too, just today she was being... not Bella! I still felt the desire towards her, but when I pictured her in my head, she was the Bella I knew before, the one I had known and loved up until today.

"I know, I noticed it too," she could hear the frustration and annoyance in my voice.

"Is this the girl you've been pining after all week?" Emmett butted in.

"I have not been pining!" I set him straight.

"Yeah, right!" I rolled my eyes at his remark deciding I didn't have the energy to argue any more.

The rest of the car journey home was quiet, not silent, but quiet. What had happened to Bella? Maybe she was just in a weird mood or something...

A/N- i know the A/N's must be really annoying but if u press the little green button below, they get shorter and the chapters get longer.... just like magic!!!

ok i know that sounds a bit lame but seriously!! its kinda disappointing when you read other peoples stories and they have loads of reviews and are still begging for more, and then you still have a pitiful amount =[
