Twilight and all its character were made by the wonderful Stephenie Meyer.
Chapter 10: He's Just a Crush
I looked out my window and saw that the sun was peaking through the clouds today. Looks like the Cullens won't be at school, I thought. I walked over to the window staring outside. The orange rays of the sun laid on the houses and streets. Although the neighborhood still looked cold and wet it had a warmer feel to it. My dreamed popped into my head again. I leaned my head to the side and put my bottom lip in my mouth. What if it wasn't a dream? I smiled and shook my head. There was no way that actually happened. Though I thought this I was still slightly suspicious. I put both of my hands on both side of the window and pushed up. My eyes opened wider as it easily came up. I scrunched my eyebrows together and stepped back. I always lock the window! What if it wasn't a dream!? My eyes opened wider as that last thought went across my mind. I shook my head and started to freak out a little. No it had to be a dream!
"Okay Jessica calm down your mom probably just opened up the window while you were sleeping." I said trying to calm myself down. My mom sometimes comes into my room to check on me or borrow something. I nodded to myself. Yeah, she probably wanted to see how cold it was outside. That made since. He was not here, and I didn't do anything embarrassing. I took a breath in relief while holding my chest. Why do I always insist on scaring myself? I thought smiling to myself nervously. I shook my head a little and started to undress. Then I got my towel and headed to the bathroom. When I got into the shower I turned on the hot water and like always I faced away from the shower head. I stared at the tub's floor and felt my muscles relax. I smiled as the hot water went over my shoulder and down my back. I smiled wider and let out a soundless chuckle thinking of my dream again. My heart sped up when I imagined myself stand so close to him while I looked Into his eyes. I wish I would've taken the dream further. I became bashful as I realized that I was getting a real crush on him. A real crush, not admiration that is put on a fictional character. Edward clearly wasn't fictional anymore. I blew out a breath as I started to leather my body up. After I washed my body off I stepped out of the shower still wearing a smile. It was in the middle of getting dressed that I realized that I needed to get a grip. I put on my shirt and sat down on my bed.
"No. It doesn't matter if you like him. You've liked him from the beginning and you've held strong so far. I will not let this effect me. I haven't forgotten what is meant to happen. Twilight may be a very romantic story but it is full of painful experiences. Both physical and emotional. The only reason that Bella made it through it all was because of her unhealthy obsession with Edward. She had been the target of numerous vampires and had to keep rejecting her best friend. Jacob... I kind of forgotten about Jacob. I wonder what he's up to. It's not like i'm gonna seek out an almost were wolf. Regardless of how sweet and adorable they are right now... Hm... No! I'm not going to get into trouble. I sighed. All I have to do was make it through high school and i'm home free. Maybe a year after Edward would be completely gone from this town. That thought sadden me. I shook it off and sniffed . Then I looked at the time and noticed I was fifteen minutes behind schedule. Yeah... I'm the type of person who is easily convinced not to home from school. Oh well, might as well stay home. I quickly undressed and put on my pajamas and laid back down. After awhile my dad knocked and opened the door. Never mind waiting for me to answer it.
"You not going to school today?" He asked.
"No. I'm not feeling well." I answered with a pretend hoarse voice.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"Cramps. " I said.
"Oh...Do you need anything?"
"I just need to lay down." I said.
"Okay, feel better." He said then he shut the door. Now don't get the wrong idea he does care about me and my schooling . Its just sometimes he doesn't pry, scratch that most the most of the time he doesn't pry. Either way I don't miss much school. I closed my eyes and turned over. Of course I wasn't going to sleep right away because of all the sleep I got yesterday and last night. I laid there thinking about Twilight.. Not the Edward side, the more tan side. I remembered my previous thoughts about Jacob. I recalled how he was described in the book. glossy black hair, high cheek bones, and golden brown always wanted to impress Bella and get her attention. I wonder will I get to meet him. If I do I hope he doesn't react to me the same way he did Bella. I really don't want to getting involved in a love triangle. Just thinking about It makes me want to explode. I put my face into my pillow. I already have trouble handling my emotions as a single teenage girl. I must stay out of their love lives! I sighed. I can't think about this to much, it's stressing me out! To calm down I stopped thinking about it and closed my eyes. After a few minutes surprisingly I went to sleep.
¤¤¤Two Hours Later¤¤¤
I woke up feeling completely rested but had a extremely empty stomach. I rolled out of bed landing on my feet. The floor felt slightly unfamiliar under my feet from being off them to long.I smelled bacon as soon as I opened my room door. When I came into the kitchen I saw my mom washing dishes and my sister having breakfast at the table. My mom looked up when she heard me enter.
"You didn't go to school today?" My mom started.
"Oh...yeah." I said lazily.
"Why?" My mom asked.
"I didn't really feel well." It sounded like a question.
"Jessica, you know that you can't do this everyday right?" My said looking at my from the kitchen sink. She was more telling me that I couldn't do this everyday than asking.
"Yes I know. " I said like a little girl and sighed. She treats me like a little girl all the time. I looked up from the floor at Jasmine and she looked back at me with a devious smile.
"So Jessica." She started. I looked at her strangely. What was she up to? "How did Edward end up taking you home yesterday? " She said loudly enough for mom to hear and adding emphasis on Edward's name. My mom who was suddenly done with the dishes sat down at the table with us looking at me with curiosity. I looked own at the table blushing and grabbed a couple strands of my hair trying not to smile.
"He was just bringing me home because dad wouldn't pick me up early and he was already skipping class." I said hurriedly. Jasmine smiled nodding her head mockingly.
"This Is the part that I was saving for you mom." Jasmine said. I glared at mom smirked and said a mocking.
"Really?" When it comes to relationships i'm easily wound you could guess I got nervous really fast. I can't really handle this kind of embarrassment. I sunk lower in the kitchen seat.
"I didn't even want to get in the car. I wasn't even conscious!" I tried to convince them that nothing was going on. They looked like they were going to take pity on me.
"Okay Jessica ,calm down." Mom said patting me gently on the back.
"You always get so embarrassed when we mention boys. Calm down." Jasmine said chewing bacon.
"It was nice of him to drive you home. Not a lot of people would go out of their way to help someone else." My mom said lighting up the atmosphere for me. God bless her heart.
"Yeah that was nice of him." My sister agreed. I nodded relieved that the subject was ending. But Jasmine had to go and get all excited again.
"Oh! You should've seen him mom." She said.
"What? Was he really cute?" Mom asked her.
"Mom. He was FINE!" She said with her eyebrows raised.
"He was? " she asked looking at me very interested.
"I'm going to get something to eat." I said avoiding the subject. I walked to the counter and fixed me a plate of bacon,eggs and I sat down at the table they were talking about some soap opera show, The Young and the Restless I think. I basically stuffed my mouth with food while they talked. After I was done eating I went back to my room and watched television. My eyes were tired and dried out from staring at the 's pretty much how my day was spent, indoors. Around 8 I looked out the window and saw the dark gray sky. Dang. I forgot to ask mom about my window... I'm sure I was just freaking out about nothing again. I crawled up to my pillows and flipped the covers over me and went straight to sleep.
