Disclaimer: I don't own anything -.-
Recap of the previous chapter:
Conversations went on and on. I'm really happy that they all got along well. Nobody seemed to be glaring at someone. Emmett, Jazz, Stef, Edward, Zac and Joey were huddled up on the floor, seeming really caught up in their conversation, while Al, Rose, Grace and me were just on the bed, laughing about anything and everything. Rose was asking if the twins like her and she answered with a humble shrug of her shoulder which got us rolling her eyes at her and her squirming out a reply. Not soon after, the doorbell rang and Grace's face lit up when she read something from her phone.
"Hello?" I cheerful voice called from downstairs.

Chapter 6: New Friends? Definitely
"SOR!" Grace shrieked, to everyone's amusement, she scramble off the bed, running towards the door and throwing it open before anyone could blink and literally ran like mad outside and I swear I heard a loud thump, with that heard, Zac and Joey got up and instantly ran out, worry etched on their faces.
I looked at Edward, who suddenly laughed, with a confused expression. "Aren't you worried that she broke her neck?"
Edward shook his head and smiled down at me. "Grace? Hurt? That's a step next to impossible." he scoffed.
"GRACE!" another voice shouted. Um.. Mini Reunion?
"SHAY!" now that's the unmistakable voice of Grace.
Everyone inside the room was quiet, all eyes on the opened door. Curiosity was obvious in the room. I know that Grace had always talked mostly about Shay and Sorrow. As she told me over and over, they're her bestest friends and that they could possibly pass for sisters. I was on the edge of my curiosity and just when I thought I'd burst from the overwhelming curiosity to meet the two strangers, giggles were heard, growing louder by every second they neared the room. Zac and Joey came in first and followed by Grace who was then followed by two blondes. One strawberry blonde and the other honey blonde.
"Everyone, this is Shay Cole and Sorrow Shannen." Grace introduced, gesturing for us to know who was who, excitement and fondness evident on her voice alone.
Shay Cole, was strawberry blonde, her deep blue eyes piercing, she had a beautiful blonde hair that lingered just at her breasts. She had a gorgeous body which was hidden by her simple pink tee and a faded skinny jeans, a polite smile on her lips. Elegance was evident on her, her very presence seem to have this composed yet respected atmosphere.
Sorrow Shannen on the other hand was the honey blonde girl. She was the smallest of the three of them and Shay being the tallest. Unlike Shay, Sorrow's hair was long, reaching by her waist, she had straight cut bangs which cover her eyebrows completely. Her eyes, green and beautiful. She was grinning hugely as she and Shay both examined all our faces.
"I'm Shay Cole. Nice to meet you." Shay said in a deep voice. My eyebrows perked up at the sound of her voice. It was deep but subtle. It wasn't near sounding like a man's voice, it was more like a seductress' voice.
"And I'm Sorrow." Sorrow giggled, her Scottish accent evident in her voice which was a few octaves higher than Shay's and Grace's. "Sorry we invited ourselves in like that." she added with an apologetic smile. And I shook my head at them with a smile of my own.
"Hey! My name's Alice," she chirped after a pause. "This sick person in the bed is Issa, Bella, Isabella, whatever you prefer to call her." I placed a hand on my hip and raised both my brows at Alice, which she totally ignored and went on introducing the rest. I rolled my eyes and shook my head, everyone was busy hovering over one another in a part of the room, everyone apart from Stefan, who walked towards me and sat down next to me.
"Hey Stef. Not joining everyone else in there?" I asked, leaning back on my pillow.
He shrugged his shoulders and shook his head. "Rather intimidated by the blonde. She looks at me like she's gonna pounce on me and kill me at any time." nodding his head to the group, I noticed he was talking about Shay, seeing as she turned away just as I looked at them.
"Can't take her on?" I teased, trying to ease out the tension.
He snorted and rolled his eyes. "I can take Emmett on, I sure as hell can take her down. But she's a girl." he grimaced at his last statement. "And I don't wanna cause a ruckus with new people."
"New people namely Grace?" I murmured, loud enough for only the two of us to hear. His eyes snapped down to me and I smiled. "Bingo." I chriped.
"You're an idiot." he grumbled, acting all cool and reserved though he looks more nervous than reserved. Well this is new.
"Yea. Okay Stef. Wanna get her number?" I held back a laugh when he didn't answer for a couple of seconds. Then he slowly turned to look at me.
"You think she'll text me back?" he asked hesitantly. I rolled my eyes.
"Where did that chicks-follow-me-everywhere guy go?" it was his turn to roll his eyes.
Then I heard Alice squeal. "Let's all exchange numbers!" I shoved Stefan towards the group, not before whispering. "There's your chance." he rolled his eyes, but passed me a thankful smile.
He's a heartthrob. He could pick up a girl here and there anytime he wants but I wonder why he looks like he's having trouble with Grace. It could be the fact that Zac and Joey are obviously being over protective of him or maybe, the same as me, there's just something about Grace that makes you either smile or scared. Not to mention nervous as well.
Looking over the small crowd, I smiled. It'd be great if we'd all be friends, I could just imagine the fun and laughter that we'd all share, and their getting along pretty good so far.
Throughout the day, everyone managed to have fun and much to my embarrassment, help me with things I need as well. Edward was always by my side for some reason and Grace was busy chatting with Alice and Sorrow, while Shay and Rose bonded. Grace was surrounded by three guys namely Zac, Joey and Stefan. The three kept following Grace around, much to everyone's amusement but Grace didn't seem to mind at all. Now and then she talks to them and laugh and talk to Alice and check up on me and her friends.
It was around 3 in the afternoon when my mom arrived. Of course she didn't mind all the people at the house, she even offered to make dinner for all of us.
I got to talk to Edward a lot more, he was funny and he could be a real tease and I loved how we could just talk for hours and hours and laugh everything out. To my great relief, everyone got along well except for the glares that the Clearwaters throw at Stefan when Grace would be so attentive to him. It was hilarious seeing them like that, they were so childish and it honestly was adorable.
It wasn't long till dinner was served and everyone ate at the living room seeing as we wont fit in the dinning room, I was getting better as well, thank God for that. It was at dinner when everyone talked to each other as if we've all known each other for years. Sorrow was really bubbly and cute, Shay, though she may look intimidating, was sweet and really, really blunt, they were good people all in all.
I'm the least bit surprised when Stefan finally got his confidence back and started hitting on Grace. Me and Alice had a few giggles about it, but we couldn't tell if Grace was interested, she just laughed it out and smile or say "Thank you" when she has to. The same thing she does with Zac and Joey and that definitely caught my attention. Edward seemed relaxed about how three guys are flirting with Grace, sometimes he eyes them when he thinks they're going to far, which I found really sweet and he said that he's just really protective of her, she's like his little sister and I nodded in understanding.
"So you guys are transferring to boys high?" I asked pointedly at Sorrow and Shay who both smiled and nodded.
"We figured since our number one girl is there, we might as well be there too." Shay passed a wink at Grace who rolled her eyes despite the grin on her face.
"Yea, it's boring without Grace." Sorrow acknowledged, a small frown on her face. Grace immediately laughed and all eyes were on her.
"Boring? You guys are the ones who'd always get me in trouble." she retorted, shaking her head in the midst of her laughter.
"Oh please, you're the one who encourages us to fool around because you're bored." Shay pointed out.
"Doesn't mean you have to think of some crazy ideas that you both knew I was gonna agree of." Grace countered.
Shay and Sorrow looked at each other and giggled. "Touche." they both said at the same time.
"So what crazy stuff?" Jasper asked, genuinely interested.
"Depends." Shay answered, taking a sip of her coke. "Grace remember that dance show down you and Natalie got into?"
Grace shook her head innocently.
"That pissed Nat off, it took two teachers to hold her back from strangling Gracey!" Sorrow commented.
"Hey, it was her fault. If you can't bitch the bitch, don't even bother trying. Plus, she called the showdown." Stefan was looking at Grace, impressed.
"You mean Natalie Mayers?" Zac asked and the three girls nodded.
"She's a slut." Joey pointed out.
"She's popular around the guys." Edward added.
"Simply cause bitch can't close her legs." Shay said.
"Spread the love, not the legs." Sorrow said.
"Got that right." Grace muttered.
We all looked at them without any clue of what they were exactly talking about.
"Okay." Stefan said after an awkward silence. I rolled my eyes when everyone looked at him, expecting him to say something.
"Movie night?" I asked hopefully, the guys groaned while the girls squealed and gathered together over the couch.
"Oh be a man!" Grace announced with a grin, the girls giggling over the guy's reaction.
"I'll show you.." Zac grumbled loud enough for everyone to hear. Grace merely grinned at him and tapped the empty space beside her and Zac gladly took it. Half was in a love seat. Alice and Jazz, Rose and Em, Grace and Zac and I wouldn't call it a love seat, but me and Edward as well. Shay and Sorrow managed to cuddle up together while Joey and Stefan were sending daggers to Zac who doesn't seem to notice the murderous glares.
"Issa, a walk to remember. Let's see if that's enough to crack a tear from these guys." Rose sai. Who was leaning back agaisnt Em.
"Tear? Not a single one at the end of the movie baby." Em said smugly.
"Gimme a break Em." Alice commented, eyeing Em as if she knew something we didn't, which sent Jasper into a fit of chuckle.
Rose glared at Jasper. "Yea brother. Laugh it out." that about shut him up.
Finally, after a few more side comments, the movie began. By the end, the girls were in tears and the boys.. How do I say this. Zac, Stefan, Edward and Jasper are safe, the other two are gonna be teased for quite a while.
"Man up Joey, how embarrassing." Zac grumbled, half disgruntled and most likely amused as well.
"Awe don't be mean Zac, I thought it was pretty cute." Grace cooed, walking to Joey and giving him a hug.
"You see? Grace thought it was cute. In your face!" Emmett burst at Alice, Jasper and Stefan, who just rolled their eyes.
"We have to go." Shay said after a moment.
"You can't stay a little longer?" I frowned, walking over towards her and Sorrow, still amazed at how beautiful her voice was and how gorgeous she was.
"They model Bella." Grace told me. My eyes widened at that bit of information.
"Oh wow.. No wonder."
"Grace used to as well." Sorrow chirped. I looked at Grace and raised an eyebrow at her. I'm not the least bit surprised.
Grace shrugged her shoulders, shrugging the subject off.
"She was good at it." Edward suddenly commented and earned a glare from Grace. "What?" he said, putting his hands up in defeat.
"Well, you girls should hurry, you know how he is when you're late." Grace said resignedly. A flash of a certain emotion passed Shay and Sorrow's eyes and nodded, hugging me and Grace before heading their way.
Alice, Rose, Jasper, Emmett and Stefan already headed upstairs, which leaves, me, Edward, Grace, and the twins here.
"You guys could stay a little bit more right?" I inquired.
"Actually.. I was thinking of going home early tonight, I gotta catch up on math." she said slowly, a frown easing it's way on her pleasant features. That's one thing I found out, Grace hates math and she's not as good at it as she is on other subjects.
I nodded unsurely, taking note of the catch in her voice. "Alright then, be safe."
"I'll drive you." Edward said.
"No, that's okay, you should stay a bit more if you like, don't let me get in the way." she said, flustered.
"I'll drive you." he said in a final tone, much to my disappointment but I understood anyway. "Sorry Bella, I'll catch you later." he said and Grace gave me a hug before leaving, the twins followed, saying that they wanted to check up on Grace.
It was amazing how a lot of people cared dearly for Grace, I wouldn'y wonder. With such a pleasant personality, who wouldn't like her and wanna care for her? This day turned from horrible to a totally wonderful day where I got to see my friends again, made new ones and all in all, it was simply amazing. I wish the day could've passed longer, but there would be more times for us to spetoh together again.
I headed towards the stairs and stopped when I saw Stefan heading down the stairs.
"What's up?" I asked, walking up towards him.
He scratched the back of his neck in what I learned from a long time ago was a nervous gesture. "Did Grace leave already?" I rolled my eyes at him. "What? I'm a guy, I'm interested."
Patting his shoulder, I continued walking up the stairs. "She went home, Edward driver her, the twins followed as well to check up on her. You got 2 competitions Stefan and they've known her for a long time, and I gotta tell you, Grace is a really good girl, don't mess her up." Not bothering to look back, I headed to my room, finding Rose and Alice on my bed, a magazine in hand.
"Edward seemed to be into you." Alice commented, not at all looking up from her magazine. I rolled my eyes and climbed on top of my bed, in between the two of them and pulled the sheets up to my chest.
"And you seem to be into Edward." Rose added. I blushed and pulled the sheets further up to cover my head.
"I am NOT! Good night." I huffed and closed my eyes, frowning at the sound of their giggles.
