Dang! It was already Friday and tonight we would be leaving. Everyone who mattered to me already knew, with the exception of the girl who mattered the most, Bella.
Everyone I've informed that I was leaving asked me the same question.
"Does Bella know?"
I have lied, and told them not to mention it again to her, because it would upset her. I've said that again and again to everyone except to Charlie and I asked him to keep it from her and that I wanted to tell her myself. He agreed.
All day, yesterday I've been hinting that I would be leaving, but her mind seemed to be elsewhere.
At one point I got so frustrated and asked her straight forward.
"What will you do if I tell you I would be moving away tomorrow night?"
She was chewing on her fries and thought about it before answering.
"Hmmmnn? For starters I'm going to throw you out that window. I don't know how, but I will and then I would cry, after that I'd vow that I would hate you forever and ever."
I had to flinch and my eyes twitched a little bit.
Well…that certainly didn't help.
"Why'd you ask? You aren't thinking of leaving me, are you?" she joked as she put on her sad puppy dog face.
I just faked a laugh and shook my head. She smiled at me and resumed her eating.
Yesterday passed and was gone and she still didn't know.
Now it's Friday and tonight Billy and I would be leaving. I dragged myself from my car and was still trying to figure out how I would tell her when I saw or rather heard her truck coming.
"Hey Jake! Wait up."
I turned to see her running towards me. I had to smile, but before she got to me, a silver Volvo passed between us. Edward got down from his car, Bella smiled at him.
"Hi Bella."
"Hi Edward."
"Uhmm.. Are you going to the game later?" He asked her. I decided it was time to interfere.
"Of course she will. Cause she'll be cheering for me." I walked over to Bella and pulled her alongside me, and dragged her away from Edward.
"Bye then. See you later." Edward called.
"Bye!" She waved at Edward before turning to me.
"What was that for?" she sounded upset.
"We were going to be late." What a lame excuse.
"Yeah right. It's a good 30 min. before classes start, Jake. Now, what was really that about?" she stopped walking and refused to budge. I could have easily carried her, but then she would struggle…and get hurt. I didn't want her to get hurt. So I searched for a suitable answer.
"Don't you remember that I hate him?"
"You never give me the chance to forget Jacob." She answered seriously.
I looked down at her. "Is there a problem Bells?"
She sighed. "I just think that…well…if you really must hate him, should I hate him too? Even though he hasn't done anything wrong to me." Her voice was a soft whisper as she said this that I barely heard her, but I did.
I never thought I had been so selfish. I did my best so she'd never have to meet Edward. I never once asked her if she wanted to. And now suddenly I'm asking Edward to be her best friend, a complete stranger to her. I have to put this right.
"I'm sorry, Bells. Of course you don't have to hate him just because of me. He's actually a nice guy once you get to know him."
Ugggh!.I'm gonna kill myself for this later.
She smiled.
That was worth it.
"Thanks Jake."

Lunch…
Jake sure is acting weird these days. He seemed a little stressed.
Oh well, I'm going to have to worry about that some other time cause it's examination week. The pressure is killing me; I have to ace all the tests so I can have a shot at being the valedictorian and be qualified to get into Harvard. Odd, though…Jacob seemed not to care about the exams, he wasn't even picking up a book anymore.
Huh. Well I wasn't only thinking about the exams…there was this Greek god who kept wandering through my thoughts…
"Bella!"
Somebody called and I'd know that bell like voice anywhere. Alice, my pixie of a cousin. She jumped on me and hugged me so tight I couldn't breathe.
"Oh, Bella. I've missed you sooo much!"
I laughed. "Alice, we were together in our History class!"
"Your point?" she pulled back a little so she could raise an eyebrow at me.
She let go of me and we sat on our usual table. Rosalie joined us after having a brief meeting with the other cheerleaders for the game this afternoon.
"Ugghh! Those girls are starting to get on my nerves!"
"Isn't that what all cheerleaders do? And Oh and don't let me start on about the head cheerleader." Alice teased.
Me, Alice and Rose were really close. We were like sisters. Alice is my first cousin from my father's side of the family. We met when she moved here to Forks on 4th grade and we've been inseparable since then.
"Very funny Alice." Rose shot her a death glare.
"Why aren't you laughing then?" Emmett, my bear of a brother asked as he came to sit beside Rosalie. [My father adopted him when he was six. We're in the same year too.]
"I was being sarcastic." She explained as she rolled her eyes at him.
"Ohhhhhh…I see." But I doubt he even knew what sarcastic meant.
"I don't think you do!" She fired back, suddenly losing her cool. "You never seem to see anything, even though it's right in front of your nose!"
"Huh!? What's in front of my nose?!" He crossed his eyes and tried to see what it was.
"Ahhhhh!!!" Rosalie screamed in frustration, stood up and stormed away.
"What was her problem?" Emmett asked bewildered by Rose's sudden outburst. He watched Rosalie leave the cafeteria, before he turned back to us.
Alice and I exchanged glances before we started to laugh hysterically.
My brother could be so clueless at times. Even though Rosalie hadn't really told us how she felt about Emmett, anyone who spent the day with them would surely know that she liked him. Well apparently not Emmett, he shrugged his shoulder as he turned his undivided attention to the lasagna that was in front of him and after he stowed it all away in a matter of seconds, he let his gaze wander to where Rosalie was sitting a while ago with a look of longing on his face.
We looked at him expectantly. Maybe he wasn't as clueless as we thought.
"Do you think…"
But before he could finish what he was saying, Alice jumped up from her chair and finished his sentence for him.
"Do we think that Rosalie likes you, even though she shows differently that it really seems she hates you but you think it's all an act because she's afraid that you won't like someone like her and if we'd be willing to help you with her so she wouldn't be all grumpy and mean all the time?"
She said all this in one breath that I had to check if she was all right before turning back to see Emmett's reaction.
He was clueless. Or was until Alice blurted it all out. Rosalie is going to kill her when she finds out. Emmett's mouth hung agape as he looked at us with confusion.
"Uhhh..nope. I was just wondering if she would mind if I ate her lasagna? Look at it. It looks so lonely. It's as if it's crying for me to eat it."
"Oh." Alice sat back down and shook her head.
"Huzza!" Emmett exclaimed and finished Rose's lasagna before I got to the third bite of mine. I glanced at Alice, she was glancing left and right as if fearing for her life. I would too if I got into Rose's bad side.
I studied Emmett, he seemed oblivious to what Alice had just revealed. Phew…that was a relief.

Jazz and I were on our way to the cafeteria to have lunch when Jake appeared and dragged him away. I was debating whether or not I should find out where Jake's bringing my best bud, especially cause Jake kinda hated him ever since the Diary incident with Bella…Hmmmn..Oh well…food was waiting for me so I let it go. I'll just worry about it later.
I got my food and heard Rose say: "Very funny Alice." But she wasn't exactly laughing.
"Why aren't you laughing then?" I asked as I sat down beside her. I don't understand this chick…she acts like she hates me when I've done nothing but kind things to her. Well…except for one little incident on our junior year… well ok so it jwasn't so little..i just had her underwear flying in public when i played tug-of-war with her laundry bag. well..I was just trying to help.
"I was being sarcastic." She rolled her eyes at me.
"Ohhhhhh…I see." What did sarcastic mean again? My mind really gets all loopy whenever when I'm around this girl. Ok. So my mind is loopy all the time, but it goes into hyper mode when she's near and then there's the thing with my heart going faster.
"I don't think you do!" She fired back, suddenly losing her cool. "You never seem to see anything, even though it's right in front of your nose!"
"Huh!? What's in front of my nose?!" I crossed my eyes and tried to see what it was.
"Ahhhhh!!!" Rosalie screamed in frustration, stood up and stormed away.
"What was her problem?" I watched Rosalie leave the cafeteria, before I turned back to my sister and our cousin.
They exchanged glances before they started to laugh hysterically.
These girls are crazy. I shrugged my shoulder and turned my undivided attention to the lasagna in front of me and after I stowed it all away in a matter of seconds, I let my gaze wander to where Rosalie was sitting a while ago.
"Do you think…" I started but before I could finish what I was saying, Alice jumped up from her chair and started babbling.
"Do we think that Rosalie likes you, even though she shows differently that it really seems she hates you but you think it's all an act because she's afraid that you won't like someone like her and if we'd be willing to help you with her so she wouldn't be all grumpy and mean all the time?"
Whoa! That was extreme! She said all that in one breath! Cool!
"Uhhh..nope. I was just wondering if she would mind if I ate her lasagna? Look at it. It looks so lonely. It's as if it's crying for me to eat it." I corrected her
"Oh." Alice looked disappointed, sat back down and shook her head.
"Huzza!" I exclaimed and finished Rose's lasagna.
Alice, she was glancing left and right as if fearing for her life.
I felt Bella's and Alice's eyes studying me and I heard them sigh in relief as I continued to pay no attention to nothing else but eating.
So maybe they thought I'm clueless. Not a chance. Sooo..Rose really liked me huh.
I didn't want our cousin and my lil sis to get on Rose's bad side so I'd just have to accidentally find out for my self.
so now there's another chapter..
