Outtake 1
I stare at her from across the school yard.
She has no idea.
We've known each other since we were practically in diapers, yet she's always gravitated towards Emmett.
We're both fifteen now, you'd think shit would be different. We've both matured and have many things in common.
She looks at Emmett as if he's a God.
Maybe it's because he's older?
What I wouldn't give to have her look at me that way.
And for fuck's sake, she's with Jacob. Emmett shouldn't even be on her radar.
I roll my eyes and push up my glasses.
I'll be late for band practice if I keep up this stupid ritual.
"Are you 'Bella watching' again, Edward?" Jasper asks.
My friends are great. They don't belittle me.
I just wish she'd look at me, like really look at me, at least once.
"I'm going off to band camp for the summer. I'm going to miss her glares," I tell him sarcastically.
I'm wistful. It hasn't always been this way.
As kids, we all played together but, for some reason, her reaction to me has always been a little... hesitant.
I used to bug her 'cause I was a boy and that's what we do to girls we like.
She didn't like that so much.
We're older now. You'd think she'd get over that shit.
Years later, in spite of her obvious crush on my brother, she's discovered Jacob and his lean muscles and sculpted abs.
Fucker.
I hate him.
We have more of these... our boy's been thinking about her a lot!
Thanks for reading and reviewing! You guys are awesome! :o)
