Gym passed by quickly. I was glad that I hadn't gotten a gym strip yet because the teacher made the class run laps all class. It was a little awkward when Mike 'forgot' his gym strip and kept me company.
I left the school and headed to my truck to find Raina leaning on the door. The Cobalt was gone and there were very few vehicles left in the parking lot.
"Hey." I said walking to the driver's side. Raina just looked up at me with a bashful expression on her face; her eyes wide and sparkling.
"My ride left without me. Mind giving me a ride?"
"Of course!" I said with a smile, as I unlocked the door. I just got into the seat to see Raina already had her seatbelt on.
I stuck the key in the ignition and my truck roared to life. We were silent for most of the ride. Raina was just sitting there staring off. After about three minute's her face grew with a mixture of excitement, and contemplation; out of nowhere she bursted out giggling.
"What?" I asked her head whipped in my direction like she for got I was there, and then a delicate smile played on her lips.
"Oh nothing." She said not trying to sound convincing. She saw the skepticism in my eyes and her smile grew larger.
We reached her house and it was a huge Victorian style mansion with a wrap around porch. It looked spooky yet serene. Be side it, quite a way's away, was another Victorian style mansion, even more beautiful then Raina's
"Who lives there?" I asked unable to pry my eyes off of the amazing architecture.
"Our cousins the Cullen's. They come back every once and a while. Right now they are living in Alaska." I merely nodded my head slightly to her explanation.
"Hey Bella can you do me a favor?" she asked batting her eyelashes.
"If it's possible I will try my best." She chuckled at the determination in my voice and I laughed along with her.
"Well, its going to be sunny tomorrow and me and my family will be going-" she paused "camping. And I don't want to fall behind on school so could you bring by some homework for me?"
"For sure!"
"Great! Stop by around-" she paused and stared off, her face looked like it was having an intense conversation or listening to some exact instructions "four." She finished. Before she ran to her house.
I pushed the car in reverse and as I turned I saw Zaden standing in the trees. His eyes locked with mine in the rearview mirror before my foot involuntarily pressed down on the accelerator.
I got home and took out some hamburger meat, and vegetables. I decided on making spaghetti, and then tomorrow we would have Sloppy Joes with the leftovers.
Just as I added the garlic Charlie walked through the door.
"Bells?" Charlie hollered. He sounded tired.
"In the kitchen dad!" I called black as I reached for the plates and silverware.
By the time his heavy feet dragged him to the table his food was dished up and ready for him. He muttered a thank you and ate in silence. I could tell he had a rough day so I didn't press him about it. I just told him that I had homework to do and made my way to my bedroom.
I woke up to a cold breeze. I opened my eye's groggily and looked at the clock
3:42 am
I looked around my room to see my window open, curtain's blowing fiercely in the wind. I looked at it and then glanced around my room again. I could have sworn that it was shut.
I got up and tiptoed over to the window, shuddering from the wind, I felt goose bumps overtake my skin as I pulled the window closed. Quickly I jumped back into the warmth of my bed and looked down at my wrist.
Raina-4-homework was scribbled in messy black ink. And before I knew it my eyes drifted shut and I was over came with a restless, dreamfilled sleep.
