Hey guys :] I got no school today so, I can update all I want :D Hehe, so, yeah, if any of you guys are wondering if Jacob is a werewolf already, he's not yet. And Bella & Edward aren't getting back together YET. Just keep on reading to find out! We have more chapters to come! :))
BELLA'S POV
"Dad?" I said. It was already 10:00 in the evening. I couldn't sleep. I was thinking about Jake, and how everyone would react if he was here. Also, I was thinking about Edward, and how he would react if he saw Jacob here.
"…Bells? Is that you?" Charlie said, I could feel his eyes drooping and hear his occasional yawns.
"Yeah, sorry if I called to late in the evening dad, I…I could call tomorrow, if you want…"
"No! No, It's okay. I just came home from work a few hours ago, there are big bears or whatever they are in the forest. We tried to hunt some of `em down today. I came home, watched TV, and fell asleep on the couch." Charlie said. Bears? Bears? How could there be bears in the forest? Of all the times me and Edward went running there and exploring…we've never seen any bears…
"Bears? Is everyone alright?" I said alarmingly.
"Yes, Bella. Everyone's okay. Just a few traumatized hunters and explorers. They're being treated now. So, what made you call so late?"
"I…um…I was wondering, if, if you could ask Jake if he wanted to um, come with me to the…well, were sort of having a ball, and, I was wondering if you could ask Jake if he could go with me? He knows about the magicky stuff `cause, well, I told him about it in one of my letters to him in my 1st year…" I explained.
Charlie grunted, then sighed. I bet he was debating whether he should even ask Jake or not.
"Um…is everything…safe and…okay, there?" He said, hesitating.
"Yeah, yeah. Everything's fine. It's perfectly safe." I said, skipping the parts about Voldemort and the Cullens moving in.
"Um…..okay, fine. I'll ask him tomorrow. Okay?" He said, giving up.
I sighed a big sigh of relief. "Thank you, dad. Okay, I'll let you sleep now. I love you. Good night. Be careful."
"Always am Bells. I love you. Good night."
I hung up after that and lay down on my bed. Staring at the ceiling. I sighed. I wish Jake would accept. I didn't wanna go with Edward. Even if I secretly did.
"Morning, Bella! Were going to Hogsmeade today! Alice said that were going shopping! God! I can't wait! C'mon!" I opened my eyes to a very pretty yet impatient-looking Hermione. She was wearing her now softly curled hair down, a white colored long-sleeved shirt, skinny jeans and boots? Since when did Hermione wear…Alice. She was behind this.
"Hermione…Wow. You look…" I said, rubbing my eyes.
"Yeah, I know. I look hideous. I should probably take these off…" She said sadly. "Alice woke me up this morning, told me that today would be special…and that I should look really good. She went rummaging through my stuff and all."
"No! Don't! I was about to say that you look beautiful, Hermione! Please! Trust Alice! She always knows what she's doing!" Is said, standing up. I noticed that we were the only ones in the room.
"Fine, fine! I'm only agreeing because were already late and I'm well, starving! Please hurry, Bella. Were leaving right after breakfast."
"Fine." I said, walking to my closet and choosing random clothes. Then I ran swiftly to the bathroom and took a bath.
After the long relaxing water finished touching my skin, I stepped out, used my wand to dry my hair took Hermione's hand and ran we both ran swiftly to the Great Hall.
"Hermione! Bella! Over here!" I heard Alice shout.
We waved and walked to them. Ron staring at Hermione and her beauty.
"H-h-Hermione? Is t-that y-you?" He said with awe as we sat down.
Hermione and I giggled. Alice smiled her best smile and winked me.
"Good morning, Bella! Hello again, Hermione" She said, smiling.
"Good morning, Bella. Hello Hermione. You look exquisite." Edward suddenly said, his topaz eyes liquid and warm.
"Hey, Edward." I said, smiling slightly.
"Hello, Edward. Thank you, by the way." Hermione said.
"You're very welcome." He said, nodding.
"I told you I'd do good job, Rosalie."
"I never really doubted you, sister. I just needed you to do your finest work. I knew you were a little bit stressed because of the you-know-what." Rosalie said knowingly.
"What's the you-know-what?" Ginny said while chewing her food.
"It's…a secret. Sorry, Ginny." Emmett said, flashing his dazzling smile which knocked Ginny breathless. She blushed and Rosalie's musical laugh filled the table.
After that, there was silence as we humans ate our food. It was a bit awkward, what with all these vampires staring at us.
I finished the last of my cereal and Ron with his porridge. Harry and Hermione just waited silently as I gulped the last of my orange juice.
I guess Emmett was getting pissed `cause he said;
"So…Bella, is Jacob really gonna be your date?"
I snorted, and decided to joke around. "Why? Do you wanna be my date, Emmett?"
Edward suddenly snorted and said "Emmett, are you serious, Bella?!" He laughed.
Everyone laughed at this. Then Alice noticed something I wished she hadn't.
"Bella!"
"What, Alice?!" I said, still laughing.
"Isn't that what you wore to your first day of school?! Repetition of clothes may not be tolerated, Bella!" Alice said, staring at my clothes.
"Um…so, what do you want me to do?" I said, pouting. I didn't wanna change again. I just wanted to get out of Hogwarts and into Hogsmeade.
"Oh I'll tell you what I want you to do! Go to the common room, up the stair case and open my trunk. Pick out anything you want. Go on!"
"But-
"Don't worry, Bella. I'll go with you. I'll help you with the clothes." Jasper suddenly said. I was shocked. Jasper, Jasper of all people/vampires would offer to escort me to the common room and help me pick out clothes?!?
Edward growled and said;
"Jasper, are you sure?" He said, his eyes fierce on Jasper.
"It's okay, Edward. I won't cut my finger or anything." I said lightly. Edward instantly shut up at this because he knew what I was talking about.
"It's okay, Edward. I'm just testing how strong I am. I won't hurt her, I promise." Jasper said calmly, obviously sending calming waves to Edward.
"Fine." Edward said, his face going blank.
Jasper suddenly appeared by my side, holding his hand up.
"Shall we?" He said, in his most dazzling voice.
"Of course, Jasper" I said, taking his hand and standing up.
"Is this too close…?" I said, as we started walking.
"No, it's just fine. I'm stronger than I thought."
I felt the whole in my chest when he said this, because I suddenly remembered someone who I used to ask that question.
"Okay, here we are! Are you sure you're allowed in here, Jasper? I mean, this is the girl's dormitory…" I said, giggling a bit.
He laughed and said; "Yes, I think I am….just as long as nobody finds out."
We both laughed together in unison.
I was still laughing as I reluctantly walked to one of Alice's trunks that coincidently, had a piece of paper with my name stuck to it, and opened it, revealing lots and lots of beautiful clothes, scarves, coats and shoes.
"Um, wow. Am I supposed to pick any one of these?" I said, turning to Jasper, who was leaning on the doorway.
"Yes, I believe so. Just, make it quick, Alice's and Hermione's impatience is so strong I can feel it until now." He said with a chuckle.
"Oh, wow. Okay, I'll hurry."
I turned back to the enormous trunk with my name on it and stared blankly at the clothes. Gosh, what am I gonna wear here?!
I asked Jasper for some privacy and then started deliberating. I took one of the shirts in my hands. It was a green long-sleeved shirt that had tiny blue and brown flowers on the down-part. Hmm…no. I put it down and sighed. I started rummaging for some other kind of clothing. Unfortunately, all I saw were skirts, dresses, coats and well, the shirts were nice but what was I going to wear it with?
After what felt like a lifetime, I found a dark blue shirt, with sleeves that reached only until the elbows. It was v-necked, though, but I guess that was okay. I slowly put it on and sighed a sigh of relief. I was nearly done. Just some bottoms, shoes and a coat. With a sigh, I started rummaging again.
I saw some black skinny jeans and flats. They looked okay, so I put them on. I walked to the mirror and smiled. Okay, I had to admit, I looked pretty good. I noticed that it was a but chilly outside so I went back to the trunk and quickly looked for a jacket. I found a white one, that complimented my skin, so I thought it was okay. It was a trench coat, actually. It flowed to my knees and made me look like one of the girls in New York. Oh well. At least Alice would stop bugging me.
I walked to the door, opened it and found Jasper smiling at me.
"You look stunning, Bella. Come, it's almost time."
I blushed and walked down the staircase.
They saw us at by the gate, Alice smiling widely as she and Jasper ran to each other, held hands and left, Edward smiled at me and Hermione walked to me and said;
"You look absolutely stunning, Bella! The jacket suits you a whole lot. Now, come, everyone's leaving."
I blushed and said "Thanks, Hermione. Did I tell you that you looked beautiful today?" We giggled and walked to the gate, Harry, Ron, Ginny, Edward, Rosalie and Emmett following behind.
I suddenly froze once I saw filch looking at our permits. Oh no. I forgot to get Charlie to sign mine! No! NO! Argh!!!
"What's the matter, Bella?" Harry asked, noticing my sudden stop.
"No one's signed my permit. I can't go. No! I forgot to ask Charlie! Ugh!" I said, trying to pull my hair out.
"No worries, Bella. I'll ask Esme and Carlisle to sign it in no time. Come, we'll find them." Edward said, smiling his crooked smile. Unfortunately, he was beside Ginny, and the smile knocked her breathless. She blushed and turned around.
"Okay, sure. Thanks, Edward. You guys can go ahead. We'll follow, I'll just get this thing signed." The rest nodded and left. That left me with Edward.
"Shall we?" He said.
"We shall." I said, a big smile spreading on my face. He smiled his crooked smile and I forgot how to breathe.
He laughed and said;
"Breathe, Bella."
I sucked in a big breath and said " Seriously, you should stop doing that."
"Doing what?" He said.
"Dazzling people. Poor Ginny got embarrassed."
He laughed. "Do I dazzle you?"
"Yes, yes you do," I blushed, blurting out the truth again.
"Carlisle, Esme, can you sign this for Bella? Charlie forgot to sign it." Edward said.
"Why of course! Hello there, Bella! I've missed you!" Esme said, pulling me into a big hug. I hugged her back, enjoying the "mother-daughter" moment.
When she pulled back, I was handed to Carlisle and Esme signed my permit.
"Bella! Wow, you've grown." Carlisle said, holding me at arms length. I pouted and Edward chuckled. He said I've GROWN.
"Bella doesn't like it when people say she's aged." Edward explained.
"Oh, I'm so very sorry then. Let me rephrase what I said: Bell! Wow, you look beautiful today." I blushed as Carlisle kissed my forehead and Edward and I left.
"Thanks, again Edward" I said as we made our way to the gate, my newly signed permit in hand.
"Anytime, Bella. Anytime." He said, taking my hand. I blushed but let him do it this time `cause, well, I was weak. I smiled as we walked out into the path going to Hogsmeade.
Yay! Okay, this thing's extra long cuz I've got extra time, so, you guys better make extra better reviews! Haha, bye! xoxo.
