I own nothing except the story idea
Chapter 2
My two boys got me through my highs and lows of high school, I mean come on how lucky can you get to have two of the most wonderful people as you friends…friends that was it they were my boys and I was their "Little Lady" or "Squirt" as Emmett liked to refer to me. It wasn't my fault I topped out at 5"5 and they were both freakishly tall! I never dated in high school…It just didn't seem like what I was suppose to do, I spread myself thin though between, Choir, Yearbook, Band, Student Body & Leadership I didn't have time to think about guys in any way other than my friends.
I on the other hand would help the boys out as much as possible…no matter how many times i got asked if I was dating one of them people just didn't get it… I would say "No, Ew, they are like my brothers." What the girls didn't know was I knew their dirty little secrets and made if perfectly clear that if one day either one ever wants to run for public office, I was going to need a good payoff to keep quite..they just laughed at me, ok I was halfway serious but still. If we went to a party and they wanted to know more about a girl I could force myself to go over ad ambassador to see what I could scope out for them, this usually worked pretty well, but ever once in a while I had to use my VETO power…this is something we came up with, no questions asked I got to veto once a school year any girl either one of them was interested in. I didn't ever use the veto but it was nice to have. ..they in turn had a veto for me too, but seeing I wasn't dating and they both glared at any guy that even stopped to tie his shoe next to me, there would be no need to use the veto that they had. It was weird I never felt out of place or awkward around either of my boys..that is until I met Mike.
**Flashback, Senior Year 1997**
The end of senior year I was just tired of everything I would go home at night and just veg, I would pop on the internet to check my email and see what was going on in the world. One day Emmett & Jasper came over they told me I had to see something that was "way to freaking funny" in Emmett's opinion, I told my dad we were going upstairs to study. Emmett popped down in front of my computer and logged onto Yahoo Chat (Sorry trying to remember what was popular back then) he got on and started messing around with people. I looked down at the screen.
A/S/L - "He y Em, what does that mean?" I asked
"Oh Age/Sex/Location."
"Oh so why did you say 17/F/Hawaii."
"Oh come on Bells, it means 17 year-old female from Hawaii." "Em, why didn't you just say, 17/M/Forks??" "Bells, do you actually think that people tell the truth on here?" I looked at him "umm, I dunno but why did you put that you were a girl." "Isabella Marie Swan, are you shitting me?" "Do you actually think I would tell someone who I am, you know that all that come on here are 60 year old men that mow the grass in their boxers, undershirts and knee socks and want to be all pervy with a 13 year-old virgin. " Come on Jaz & I have way too much fun with these pervs."
A few weeks passed and we were getting close to graduation. I was checking my email one night when yahoo chat was on one of the advertisements..so I clicked on it. I just wanted to see what it was like, it couldn't be all bad like Emmett & Jasper said, I mean there had to be normal people like me that went on there, right?
I logged on Izzybelly97, I hopped around from room to room, I would get blasted with A/S/L first off by 15-20 people, then the standard "wanna cyber."..eww no! My first attempt at internet chat was umm interesting. So I logged off and decided that it might be something I tried again.
Graduation came and went and so did my best friends, Emette got signed to a modeling contract but he moved to Minnesota, yeah I know right what kind of modeling work is in Minnesota..i tell you but he seemed to like it and told me on more than one occasion that I should move out there he was sure that there would be a school or two I would be interested in going to. I couldn't tell him I was too scared to move anywhere by myself, I mean I even passed up a music scholarship to Hawaiian Pacific University because I was too much of a chicken to leave home.
Jasper on the other hand moved to Texas, his uncle had talked him into going to college down there (all expenses paid) and then he would take over a position at his company. He too tried to get me to move, he even went so far as to tell me that he could talk his uncle into giving me a job with little to no questions asked…once again, I'm a whinner, I couldn't do it.
So what did I settle on? Forks Community College…go me. I came home from school one day to check my email and I noticed once again that there was a pop up add for yahoo chat. I went back into my email and found the email that as sent with my log in Izzybelly97 and signed on to see if anything had changed…It hadn't I was on there a grand total of maybe a minute before my first offer to cyber, I just ignored it. Then I wet to the local chat rooms, there was one for Forks/Port Angeles, I clicked on it. I noticed that there was only about people in there. One name caught my eye- Babyblues81
Babyblues81: A/S/L?
Izzybelly97: 18/F/Forks..U
Babyblues81: 16/M/Port Angeles.
Izzybelly97: "Oh cool, you are the first person that I have met from this area."
Babyblues81: "oh really? That's cool, so how are you tonight?"
Izzybelly97: "Good just bored, I just got home from school and thought I would pop on to see if my friends had emailed me."
Babyblues81: "Ah what school do you go to, forks high?"
Izzybelly97: "No I graduated last June, I actually attend Port Angeles Community College."
Babyblues81: "Oh an older woman and a college woman…very nice."
Izzybelly97: *Blushes*
We went on to talk about everything from books, to movies, life plans. After a few days of chatting back and forth we finally gave each other our real names. Two days after that was the first time Mike called me. I know I'm suppose to be the adult here, but he was good, he was smooth and he knew just what to say.
"Bella, how are you beautiful?"
"Umm..i'm good, how are you & how can you assume the I am beautiful."
"I can just hear it in your voice."
"umm…thank you."
"Hey Bella, do you happen to want to go to dinner and a movie on firday?"
"Sure Mike that sounds like fun, I cant' wait to meet you, atleast we will be in a public place just incase you happen to be over 60 and look like you need to mow your yard."
"umm..bella what the hell is that about? "
"oops sorry private joke with some of my friends."
"what friends? What is it that you girls sit around and talk about?" I wasn't sure what he was getting at but I answered him.
"actually its my two best friends and they are both guys, my friend Emmett once told me that no one I honest on the internet and it was mostly 60 year old men who mow their lawns in there undershirts, boxes & knee socks that try to pickup 13 year old virgins in here. "
Mike was quit…
"Ummm mike are you there." He started to laugh, "oh Bella that's a good one." I've always been honest with you and will always be honest with you. That's when I heard my dad down stairs
"Hey Mike I gotta go, my dads home and I have to get dinner on the table." I could have sworn I hear him say "My kind of woman." But ignored it he was probably trying to be cute and I really didn't know what I was suppose to say back to that.
"Ok Mike, I'll see you Friday, did you want to try Acose the new Italian restaurant in forks?"
"Yeah Bella that sounds fine, I'll see you 6pm on Friday at Acose."
"Ok, I'll see you then, by Mike."
"Bye, My Bella."
I didn't know what I was doing, or where this was going, I really didn't have an experience with guys other than being their friend. I was still a virgin i kissed 3 guys in my life, one was in 8th grade and the other two happened to be Jasper & Emmett and those were pecks of endearment and don't even know if they should count…if only I knew what life had instore for me.
Ok Guys, you know mikes a jerk and all that good stuff, we are getting to the good juicy stuff hopefully in the next couple of chapters :o) Please review and let me know what you think
