Chapter 6
After my next class I headed off to lunch to have my talk with Alice and the Cullens. Getting in the lunch line I got myself a soda with a slice of pizza and chips. After paying I walked quickly toward their table before Jessica or the others could stop me. Once there Alice told me to have a seat between her and Edward. Oh boy that pull I'd been feeling since this morning was almost gone with me being beside Edward. Wonder why? Oh well just another question to add to the list.
Before I could say a word the blonde I now know as Rosalie spoke. "I heard that you defended my family during one of your classes. Thank you not many people would have done that for us" she said. "No problem. You've been nothing but nice to me so why should I let people make such awful remarks about you guys?" For everyone to call her an ice queen she seems nice enough to me. Actually she seemed a lot nicer and more sincere than the other two drama queens I met yesterday.
Next I turned back to Alice and asked her about the work I supposedly needed help on. Little did everyone else know I already pretty much knew all the work anyway. It was just a matter of me getting it done so I wouldn't be behind. I just needed to be close to the Cullens. The one set of people that the tribe hated and wouldn't want to be around. It had started that way anyway, but just from the few minutes around them I could tell they were nothing like the man from back home. I also didn't get the creepy feeling that I had gotten from Jacob and his dad. I wonder how long it would take for them to learn my secret and them to realize I knew theirs. Alice had a strange look on her face and then said "Don't worry about a thing Bella we're going to be great friends I just know it." Humm I wonder what that was about? Could she know what was going on without me telling her?
By the time lunch was over we were really starting to get to know each other and Alice and I planned on going on a much needed shopping trip to get more cold weather type clothes for me. We would be leaving early Saturday and wouldn't be back till late so we were planning on me staying over Saturday night and working on my work Sunday. Ha this should keep me from having to visit the Rez or the flea bitten mutts this weekend anyway. I was actually really looking forward to it especially when they all decided to come with us Saturday and make a day of it. Once we had our plan set the lunch bell rang and it was off to Biology for Edward and I.
Walking to Biology Edward kept giving me funny looks. I wondered if he had already heard about my confrontation with Mike earlier. Once we were sitting at our desks Edward turned to me and was about to ask me something when the golden retriever I mean Mike walked up to my desk. "Hi Bella. I know you didn't mean what you said earlier. I know you'd love to go out with me Saturday night" he said. Good lord what is wrong with this guy? Is he really this dense or just stupid? Before I could say a word to him Edward had leaned forward and said "Sorry man she's going to be with me and my family this weekend. We're all going to Seattle for shopping. Then we're all going to eat and watch a movie." The look on Mike's face was priceless. "Yep sorry Mike I already have plans and as I told you earlier I wouldn't go out with you anyway. Why don't you just go ahead and go sit down and leave me alone?"
After that the teacher walked in and I didn't get to figure out what Edward was going to say. We worked on our work and didn't get a lot of time to talk while doing that. Although we both kept sneaking glances at each other. Finally once our class work was done he turned toward me so we could talk. " Hey I hope you don't mind me telling Mike you'd be with us this weekend. He just didn't seem to be going to let it go he said.`` '' Nope I don't mind at all. He's a lot like a puppy who follows its owner around all the time. He just doesn't get the memo that I don't want anything to do with him." We talked for the rest of class and cemented when they would be coming to get me Saturday morning. I was hoping to keep this from my father till at least tomorrow. I don't think he could come up with a reason for me to stay home once they had shown up at my house. Once the bell rang I was headed to my last class of the week. PE went by quickly and then I was on my way home after exchanging phone numbers with the Cullens so they could get in touch with me if anything happened before tomorrow. On my way home I couldn't help the excitement that had begun to build. Pulling up in my yard I had to let out a groan because Billy and Jacob seemed to be waiting for my dad to get home. Oh well I guess I'll have to put up with them for a few minutes anyway. I'll just start on dinner so I won't have to spend too much time with them. My senses were going off again. There was seriously something wrong with these people who were supposed to be protectors.
