Hello, I'm GAY
Chapter Two
A/N: Oh wow I was not expecting this many follows from one chapter. Consider me shooketh.
After class ends that day, my family and I are heading back to our cars to go home. Bella's spectacular entrance into our school and the way she roasted Edward are on our minds partially, given how Emmett keeps snickering about it and Edward is melancholy, no doubt unable to wait until he is home so he can drown out his sorrows in Mozart while he strips naked and lays on the floor of his room in the fetal position.
I've learned my lesson about entering his room when he's like that. I don't need to see all that.
But as we get to where our Jeep, Porsche, and Edward's Volvo are parked, we see Bella's head pop up between the rows as if she had been lying on the gravel of the parking lot.
Her lingering scent should have warned us about her being here, but we simply assumed her scent was so powerful it had permeated everywhere. Certainly we had never smelled a human as good as her. It really put our vegan lifestyle to the test.
"Oh, hey, I've been meaning to talk to you," she said all casual like, brushing some loose gravel off of the front of her shirt.
Edward stiffens, no doubt in no mood to speak to her after she destroyed him like that during lunch time, even if she doesn't know that he knows she did.
I glance at Alice to see if she had predicted this meeting in a vision but she shrugged. Seems not.
"Didn't get a chance to during school, but I figured if I found your cars I would come across you. Seems my deductions at picking the flashiest cars was right." She sticks out her hand. "I'm Bella. Charlie's daughter."
"Yes, we heard," Emmett said, being the first to reach out and shake her hand. "It's a small town. Word travels fast."
"I bet it does," she said, her eyes cutting to me and then back again to Emmett. "I heard a lot about you at lunch today. And I admit I'm curious. What's a group of supermodels doing at a dumb school like Forks High, or in a shithole town like Forks?"
She was certainly bold despite her gentle appearance, I'd give her that.
"We could ask you the same," Alice said, stepping up front, so she was next to Emmett and more involved in the conversation. "Why move here?"
"My mom was getting remarried and I didn't feel like sticking around their hetero romance." She scowled. "Ugh, you know how gross it is to hear straights fucking? Or for them to be your parents too?" She shook her head. "I'm super gay, by the way," she said, her eyes cutting to me again as she said this before going back.
"Oh, nice to meet you super gay. We thought your name was Bella," Emmett chimed in as Edward restlessly shifted on his feet. He wanted to leave this interaction. So did I. I didn't know how to feel about Bella. All I knew was she made me feel disarmed for some reason. No human should have the ability to make a vampire feel this way.
She laughs at this, and the sound imprints on my mind. It's a sound of pure joy. Wow. Who knew humans could have such lovely laughs.
"I think we're going to get along just great," Bella said, playfully punching Emmett in the arm and then wincing when she hurt herself because of his tough skin. "Oh shit, they weren't kidding when they said you were a walking tank." She waved her hurt away. "Also, just fyi, your front tire is popped." She indicated to the Volvo. Edward's eyes grew wide and he rushed over to his car. Indeed, the first tire was popped.
"I was actually trying to fix it. I know a bit about cars and I'm more than happy to help out," she offered as Edward sighed and finished his inspection of the rest of the car, having circled around it in inspection of further damages.
Jasper elbowed me, none too subtly, and I glared at him as he stared at me, eyebrows raised. "Cars," he mouthed and I scowled.
"I know," I mouthed back. So what if she liked cars. Didn't mean she was good at it.
"Do you know who did it," Edward asked Bella suspiciously, like he thought she did it.
"Maybe the fact that you haven't changed your tires, caused this," she shrugged. "These are old. You really should take better care of keeping your car up to date. Even a sharp rock could have caused the hole and for the air to slowly leak out."
Oh my god, that was what I was telling Edward for months! She really did know about cars.
"Er, right," he ducked his head, ashamed to have this pointed out when he knew I'd been telling him this every chance I could.
"Catch a lift with me and Rosie," Emmett offered to our brother. "Enough space for you in the Jeep." Edward did not look happy at this but grumbled under his breath and complied.
"See ya around. I'm serious about the car offer," she said and then walked off.
"What an odd duck," Alice said fondly.
"So, we didn't talk yesterday," Bella told me as she sidled up to my locker. I heard her and smelt her coming, but I refused to run. I was Rosalie Lilian Hale and I strutted. Like a proud peacock.
"No, we didn't," I confirmed, turning to face her and slamming my locker door shut. I tried to be cool. "What do you want?" Didn't she know people didn't normally talk to me?
"Is that a hint of snark I hear?" Bella said, eyes gleaming. "Oh, god, not only are you hot but you're also a bit of a bitch."
I don't know if she was saying this to herself, but I could hear it, with or without my vampire hearing. "Um-" I started, unsure.
"Look, I'll get straight to the point," Bella said, looking at me directly. "I'm sorta new to this place and I need a tour guide. You look like you know what's hip and popping, and god knows I need some hip and popping. This town is so dead. So, will you help me out? I'll repay the favor."
It was ironic she called this town dead, and came to me- a dead person by law- to show her a lively version of Forks. She didn't know that I was a vampire, so I gave her phrasing a pass.
A no sat on my lips to her suggestion, but I could not push it out. There was something so direct about her, it was almost intimidating. And I know she had said all those kind things about me yesterday. Had basically said I was hot and her type, so was this a date? I didn't want to give her the wrong impression. But I didn't also want to hurt her feelings. Her face was just too cute to want to make cry. "I think Alice is better with that. I'll talk to her about it."
"But you'll still come along, right?"
I opened my mouth but she filled in my words for me. "Awesome. Then it'll be the three of us." And she hurried off. I close my mouth, exasperated. I told Alice about this development at lunch, as Edward thoughtfully watched Bella sitting with her group from yesterday. It seemed they had accepted her, quirks and all. They were certainly engaged in a heated discussion.
"Aw, it seems she wants to be friends with you. I think it's cute, we should go," Alice nodded her head enthusiastically.
"I think it's something more than friends, Alice," Jasper said, his attention and emotion reading power tuned in to the table Bella was sat at.
"How is she so unbelievably hot? I've never met anyone hotter and I don't think I ever will. It's like, come on, just bend me over the cafeteria table in front of everyone and just take me."
I choked on air as I heard Bella proclaim this. Mike and Eric were nodding their head seriously along with Bella.
"Shit, for real," Eric whistled low. "I've had so many fantasies with her. Most of them involving me, her, and a bottle of mayo."
Now I gagged at this as Emmett made a pleased look. "That boy is nasty. I wonder exactly what kind of fantasies. What do you hear in his head, Eddy?"
Edward opened his mouth and promptly vomited but that didn't tell us anything about Eric's head. Edward found anything remotely sexual to be disgusting.
Bella's hand motions were grand. "It's like, I want her to rail me so hard my insides break."
My jaw dropped open and I could feel a hot flush all over my face. I rarely blushed but I was this time. She definitely was no sweet flower. I knew that for certain now.
"Same. Except I rail her insides more like it," Mike waggled his brows while miming the action with this hands.
"Actually, I wouldn't mind her railing my insides either," Eric confirmed, a hint embarrassed as if he shouldn't say this.
"That's the spirit!" Bella exclaimed happily and clapped him heartily on the shoulder in comradery.
That was enough. I had to leave. I dumped my tray out and rushed out of the cafeteria before I could hear anything more. I sat on the bleachers of the football field outside, Edward joining me shortly.
"Ha, I lasted longer than you," he told me, smirking slightly like this was a game to be won.
"That's because you were busy puking your guts out on the cafeteria floor."
He scowled but he knew I wasn't wrong. "Look, I think...I think you should address this thing that Bella has for you and get her to stop. For both our sakes."
"I can't stop the way someone feels just because it inconveniences you," I told him sharply. He always was a controlling prick.
"I'm not the only one affected. I saw you blushing. You never blush."
"I wasn't blushing, you were hallucinating." If he knew what was good for him he would drop the topic here.
"I know what I saw-"
"I will make you puke again, abstinence boy, if you don't let this go," I warned him, as a stiff breeze moved my hair around.
He eyed me, trying to determine if I would make good on my threat. I kept my thoughts neutral.
"You wouldn't dare-"
I showed him an image of a man and woman kissing passionately under the light of the moon. His face turned green again and he leapt off the seat like it was on fire. "Fine, I get it," he waved his hands around his head as if to disperse the images there.
Smirking, to myself, I enjoyed the rest of my solitude outside as he ventured back in, lunch over and he safe from sexual thoughts.
I had no reason to be scared of Bella. I would turn her down like all the boys and girls I'd turned down before. And everything would go back to normal.
A/N: To be sure, there's nothing wrong with abstinence; but I just like shitting on Edward in this story, so anything will be used as an insult against him.
