Beth left Jake and I alone after that emotional breakdown. We talked about nothing in particular. It was more like a random debate.
At first we were talking about Werewolves....
Next we talked about snakes...
And somehow we got to toilet bowls...
Then we were talking about snakes appearing in toilet bowls.
Don't ask me how because I have no idea. I had so much fun that I didn't realize it was 6:15p.m until Beth ran in with the phone saying that I had an SMS from my family. Loads of 'em.
This one was sent at 6:
Bella, it's 6! Where are you?
-Julius
This one was sent at 6:05:
Bella, oh, Bella. Where art thou, oh, Bella...
-Julius
This one was sent at 6:06:
No, really, Bells, where are you?
6:07:
Helloooooooooo... Bella?
6:08:
I think I hear echoes...
6:09:
Echo echo echo
6:10:
Crickets: Cheep Cheep
6:11:
Bella, Circe's getting worried and so are the rest of us please at least reply...
I took the phone from Beth and replied:
Sorry about that, Julius. I'm perfectly fine. I just got carried away. I'll just say goodbye and I'll be on my way.
I gave the phone back to Beth. "I better get going... My big brother can be such a worrywart sometimes." I turned to Jake and gave him a sisterly hug. "Bye, Jake... Hope to see ya' again soon." I turned to Beth. "Thanks... For everything."
"You're very welcome, sweetie. Feel free to come back whenever you please."
"Sorry for my breakdown earlier. I'm afraid I didn't quite make a good first impression."
"It's okay, dear." I grinned and waved before taking off at vampire speed.
~A few minutes later~
"Guys, I'm home," I sighed to myself knowing that they would hear me anyway.
"BELLA!" Everyone in the house rushed to hug me and as soon as they did, they all ran to the farthest corners of the room.
"Oh my... Bella, dear, as much as I hate to say this... You stink..." Circe said.
"Oh... I'm sorry... I forgot to tell you guys that I made friends with a Shifter."
"In that case, your new BFF reeks," Peter said rudely. "Has he ever thought of taking a shower?"
My eyes narrowed dangerously at him.
"I am merely speaking the truth and the truth hurts."
"Dude, she's seeing red. Take it back." Louise.
"Oh my god! Does red make her rabid or something? She's allergic to it? I didn't know!" He looked down at his red shirt and hid behind Louise. "Save me, Louise!"
That was enough to send us all laughing. "Good lord, Pete. That meant she was angry," Alyssa laughed, smacking her boyfriend on the back.
"Well then, I take it back, Bella. I was only joking."
I laughed and ruffled his hair. "I know, lil' bro."
"So, Bella... Why don't you go take a shower and tell us about your day later," Richard suggested.
I shrugged and left the room.
