Flashbacks
BPOV
Usually our table would have 6 people in it, Alice, Rose, Em, Jazz, Jake, and me.
Jake had already told me he wouldn't be having lunch cause he'd be doing something important. I asked him what it was but he shrugged and told me I would soon find out. I shrugged it off and told him I'd see him at the game. He grinned and walked away.
"Hey, Em. Where's Jazz?"
I just realized that my brother's best friend and Rosalie's twin also hadn't joined us on our table yet.
"Awhhh..Bells! Miss him already?"
I glared at him. Everybody found out that I had a little crush on him, when Em found my diary and read it out loud to all of our friends in my sophomore year.
I can still remember how he stood at our kitchen table when we were having a sleep over.
Flashback
(cue the chimes and that hazy effect on the screen...fade in to the past..)
I had just put the spaghetti on the table for us to eat when Emmett barged into the dining room with his hands behind his back and a wide goofy smile plastered across his face.
"Hey Guys! Look what I found when I went scavenger hunting."
He held up a pink notebook adorned with shiny butterflies as he wiggled his eyebrows at me.
It took a moment for me to register the notebook Alice had given me that coincidentally served as my diary.
"Em-mmmmeeeetttt! Give that back to me!" I hissed.
"Nuh uh uh, Bella. "
I made a grab for it but he held it above his head far from my reach.
He climbed up the kitchen table and browsed through my diary. I covered my ears and faced away from them in defeat. There was no stopping Emmett.
"Oh! Here's one! " He sounded like a school girl on his first date everrrrrrr!
February 21
"Ahem. Ahem." He cleared his throat.
Dear Herbie, [Yeap! I had named my diary. Well, calling it diary was just so impersonal, especially when it knows all my deepest darkest secrets.]
Em started in a high-pitched voice, trying to sound like a girl. He really sounded like one.
Oooohhh…this is the most wonderful day of my life. I had finally gotten the chance to spend time with jasper, my dim-witted brother's best friend.
Emmett's brows creased as he read this aloud and Rose started to laugh loudly, but to my dismay he continued on.
Ok so he's not dim-witted, that was mean. Emmett smiled and gave Rose a 'YOU SEE' look.
He's just not that bright. Rose snorted in a non-lady like manner.
He ignored her and read on. I looked around and everybody was listening attentively. Alice, Rose, Jake and even Jasper.
We sort of had a date…actually it wasn't a date, it was a study group to tutor Emmett so he wouldn't be held back a year.
Em cringed. Nobody else knew that he was almost held back except Jazz and me.
My brother was good at a lot of things, studying just wasn't one of them.
So on with the errr…study date. We went to this café and chose a booth. We settled down and ordered our coffees, I had a latte and they both got cappuccinos.
We started by reading our Advanced Chemistry books, which I had already done last night so I pretended to read as I stole glances at Jazz. He was so cute as he read.
My gaze wandered to my brother, to my surprise a look of concentration was on his face.
Awwhh…I'm so proud of him!
He finally realizes the importance of studying.
And then I realize the book was upside down.
I grabbed the book from him and a comic book fell in the middle of our table.
"Hey! I was just getting to the good part. Party pooper." He crossed his arms over his chest and sulked like the baby he was.
I smacked his head with the comics in the hope of knocking some sense into him.
I asked him if he realized what could happen if he fails the test.
He didn't look at me. For a big guy, he was such a baby.
"You'd be held back, we won't be there to help you anymore, you'd not get into a good college, you wont get a good job, no girl would want to marry you and you'd die a sad and lonely man."
Ok. I exaggerated a little bit, but I needed to scare him into submission.
"I don't care! " He pouted.
"If you fail, you and dad can cook for yourselves for a year. And I'll tell dad not to get you take-outs cause that's what you deserve for failing. "
"You don't mean that." He looked at me worriedly he was actually threatened.
I grinned evilly. "Yes, I do!"
"NOOOOOOOO!!"He moaned as if in pain and grabbed his books and stood up.
"Guys, I'm going to the library and study. I don't need you to come. I actually study better when I'm alone." Emmett announced bravely.
"Why'd you ask us to come in the first place? " Jasper asked.
"I didn't really plan on studying. I just wanted to hang out. I actually hang out better when I'm NOT alone. "
And then he left. Jasper and I looked at each other.
"So. What do we do now?" He asked.
"We could still continue studying." I suggested not wanting our day together to end yet.
"No."
My smile fell. He didn't even want to spend time with me, and then he spoke again.
"I already finished studying and I'm sure you have too. Why don't we grab something to eat then? "
I smiled what seemed to be a 100-watt smile and I tried not to look too eager but I couldn't help it.
We went to this Italian restaurant and I found out he wasn't the serious type I thought he was. He actually was like my brother… only smarter.
We talked and laughed all day. That was fun. I hope we do it again. Well, goodnight Herbie! Emmett is knocking on my door now. He says he had a headache. I guess his brain couldn't take all that studying.
Emmett rolled his eyes and pretended to swoon as the others started laughing except for Jake who looked annoyed. And then for the finale Emmett turned the diary to the others showing a whole spread of BELLA WHITLOCK in different fonts and sizes.
"TA-DAAAAAAA"
I blushed.
My brother looked at me and said. "Oooooooohhhhhhhh…Bella's got a crush on Jazzy!"
He teased in a singsong voice and it honestly hurt my ears. Aside from studying and cooking, Emmett really can't sing too.
"Bella and Jazz sitting under a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!! " Wow! For high school sophomores, they really can't act like such kids at times.
I was about to make them stop when Jake reacted and lunged for Jasper, but Emmett managed to stop him and took him outside. Emmett dropped my diary on the floor.
I bolted up the stairs after I grabbed my diary and hid it where Emmett wouldn't look…
Somewhere safe…
Somewhere inconspicuous… WHOA! I like that word. Maybe I could use that word on Emmett to make his head hurt.
Somewhere strategically hidden…
Under my pillow!! Ha! Emmett wouldn't look there, I'll bet my life! Heck I'll even bet that jar of gummies I keep for emergencies.
I was about to do my evil laugh, but then Alice barged into my room and dragged me down the stairs. She took me outside where Emmett was holding Jake to stop him from hurting Jasper.
Since then Jake didn't like Jazz much, even though a week after that I found out that I only liked him as a brother and he said he felt the same. But that didn't stop me from plotting revenge on Emmie poo. That douche is gonna pay! I will get my revenge! mwahahahaha...
END OF FLASHBACK
"HEY!" someone called out at me. I snapped out of my flashback and realized I had been staring into space as I remembered the past. Alice was waving her hand in front of my face.
"Did you have a vision? " She chided.
"Oh! Oh! Pick me! I know the answer! I know the answer! "Emmett was raising his hand and bouncing in his seat like a toddler in kindergarten.
I sighed. "Ok, Emmett. What?"
He huffed and said proudly.
"You had a flashback didn't you? " he wriggled his eyebrows up and down.
"Nu-uh! "
"Yuh-uh! You were like staring unseeingly and laughing to yourself and stuff. You sure scared poor Eric away. Not that I mind. But still…well…you kinda scared me too. " He admitted looking away.
of course you go blank when you have a flashback..duh?! what d'you expect dancing while remembering the past?
