Chapter 11: So…
BPOV
I was sitting with Alice in the dorm that we were sharing with Rose.
"So…" I said, wanting to bring the subject of Miss Mikaela up, however, not exactly knowing how to.
"Mmmm" Rose said, bringing in a large bowl of popcorn, as we got ready for our movie night.
"Um…" I said, still unsure.
"Bella, just say it, please, this whole being around the bush is annoying" Alice pleaded.
I took a deep breath before asking the question that's been on my mind all afternoon.
"Who's Miss Mikaela, and how do you and Edward know her?"
Alice giggled at my question.
"Oh I get it, you feel threatened" she giggled some more. I could feel the heat in my cheeks.
"I DO NOT, I'm just merely curious" I said, trying to remain composed.
"Yer, who is she, I've never met her either" Rose said, sticking up for me.
"She's a freshman" Alice began, but I interrupter her.
"She's a freshman, that means she's 15" I stated.
"Just turned 15 actually, she's a December baby. It was a pleasure seeing her today" Alice giggled.
"How do you know her?" Rose asked the question that was on my mind too.
"Well, Edward knew her before I did, so I met her through him" Alice said, taking some of the popcorn out of the bowl Rose was still holding.
"And she knows him how?" I asked.
"Geez, why do you guys care so much, I mean, I kinda get Bella, with the whole her and Edward thing, but why do you Rose?" Alice asked,
"What do you mean the whole me and Edward thing?" I asked.
"Oh come on Bella, you and Edward, there is always this sexual tension thing" Alice said.
"But aren't you going out with Emmet?" Rosalie asked.
"No, well… It's more we just muck around than anything, we've never really gone out out, and you can't talk Alice, you and Jasper could win the prize for sexual tension" I stated matter of factly. Alice giggled at his name.
"Edward was Miss Mikaela partners" she giggled some more before continuing, "At our primary school, the grade Sixers spent an hour or so with some grade three-ers a couple of days a week, helping them with reading, maths, or just hanging out. Edward and Miss Mikaela were partners, and have been kinda close ever since" Alice finished.
Oh, so they were… reading partners? I guess that makes sense.
"So… let me get this straight…" Rose said, her eyes closed, as if she were trying to figure everything out behind her eye lids, "Edward and Miss Mikaela were reading partners, and are now close friends, you know Miss Mikaela through Edward, you like Jasper, Bella ISN'T dating Emmett, and she likes Edward. Am I right?" Rose was talking mostly to Alice, however I answered too.
"No" I said at the exact same time Alice said "Yes"
"What are you "no"-ing Bella?' Rose asked, Alice looking at me.
"Just… I don't like Edward" I mumbled.
"Bella, have I ever told you you're a horrible liar?" Alice asked.
"Um… no"
"Good, cause that would've been an understatement, no offence" Alice said, eating more popcorn.
I rolled my eyes, and grabbed a hand of popcorn, getting comfy for our movie night.
