School's just finished and I'm sitting in my rusty old truck in the school parking lot pretending to be busy with some of my homework. What I am actually doing is waiting for the Cullen's to leave so I can follow them to their house so I know where they live. Then I will buy a go back there later tonight and ask Edward to the prom.
Authors Note: Ok I know what you're thinking Bella hates the prom but it seemed like the only thing that would work. As if she was going to ask Edward to marry her. Well don't give her any ideas.
It's about 5:30pm. I have to do this quick because I have to go home and get dinner ready for Charlie. I am standing at the front door. I do one last check of my hair then I knock on the door.
The door opens and I see Alice Cullen, Edward's sister, standing in front of me. She seems unsurprised to see me; it almost seems as if she has been expecting me. I clear my throat and open my mouth to speak.
"Edward's not here," Alice cuts in with her graceful voice. Her eyes are narrowed glaring at me. That was a bit rude I thought.
"Could you….."
"Tell him you stopped by, He already knows," she cuts in again. Now I am getting angry.
"Would you at least….."
"Let you finish your own sentences. Nope. It's much more fun this way." She says with a smug grin that I wish I could pull off. It's almost as if she knows what I'm about to say, like she can predict the future. No, that can't be it. No one can predict the future. I must be getting paranoid.
I groan and turn to leave. I walk back to my truck. I drop my keys as I hurry to get in my truck and leave as soon as I can. I bend down to pick up my keys when a white blur picks them up just before I can reach them.
"I'm sorry Bella it's nothing personal, it just can't happen." He drops the keys in my hands.
"It's not you it's me," I say in a mocking tone. "Isn't that saying a bit old?" I turn to face Edward and see his reaction to my smart comment but he's gone.
"That's the second time he's ditched me," I grumble as I get into my truck. "I hope you realise, this means war."
