Chapter Five

The next day went the same as usual. I faked period cramps to get out of gym. I rapped through Act V of Romeo and Juliet, but Jasper didn't comment. And Chemistry was uncomfortable. I wasn't sure if it was the disgustingly slutty way Jessica started doing things since Edward came, or the constant feeling of Edward starring at me.

Mike was absent today. Eh, I missed him, but I needed a break from him for a little bit.

It was Friday, which meant girl night. Yay, I need a good girl's night out. Yesterday made me feel, I don't know, not myself…?

So I scurried home after school and got my self all made up. I changed into my "girl's night out outfit". I slipped on a fire engine red thong with matching bra, a leather mini-skirt, and a light beige lacey cami.

Our girl's night out, usually, was to go to a mall down in Seattle, where we knew no one. Then we would try and see how much free stuff we could get, or how many guys' numbers, etc. etc. Basically we were whores for a couple hours.

Around 8, I heard the horn of Alice's Lime green Volvo. I grabbed my money, stuffed it in my bra, and ran out the door.

Rose and Alice looked just as ready for girl's night as I did. Alice had no boobs, but amazing legs. So she sported a major pushup bra with a low cut t-shirt, and Daisy Dukes. Rose, whom resembled a Sports Illustrated model, wore this racer back belted mini dress with silver stilettos.

I hopped in the back and we gabbed the whole way there about Alice's "booty call" Jacob. He was this young kid from La Push who would do anything to get with Alice. And she totally took advantage of that.

They looked back at me waiting for me to dish on Mike and I. I told them how he got this amazing buffed look from conditioning everyday at the gym.

Then we arrived at the mall. We headed straight for the food court. Those boys were always the easiest. I headed for the Burger King to work my magic. I was so focused on my sexy walk and looking not interested that I didn't notice the boy at the counter under his Burger King Baseball cap.

I leaned over the counter, smacked my spearmint gum in my mouth and requested a small Coke, no ice. Then I looked up at the cashier, and my mouth hung open so that my gum almost fell out.

Shit.

Looking back at me with that crooked little smile and those liquid golden eyes, was Edward Cullen.

Oh happy day…

"Oh, hey Edward" I said after I pulled my jaw up.

"Hey Bella", He replied looking me over, "You look…really good"

"Eatcha heart out" I sexily quoted from Grease. I mean I was still playing the whore game.

"Haha" He giggled as he entered the order into the register.

I leaned over a little more, before putting my hand down my shirt to get my money from my bra. I took it out, looked up and asked, "How much?"

"Umm…" He tried to say to my face, not my chest, "It's on the house"

"Oh," I put my money back in the same fashion I took it out.

He handed me my drink. "Thanks," I said with a little wink, "I'll see you Monday, I owe you"

"No problem, See you in Chem."

I waltzed over to the table where Rose was sitting with her free drink from McDonalds, and we swapped stories while we watched Alice tease the boy at Dunkin' Donuts.

"It was so easy", Rose started, "He was a freshman, I didn't even need to lean over the counter, He told me it was free before I even got my money out. I mean I like a little challenge now and then!"

"Well if the boys' mouths didn't water at the sight of you, then you'd have a challenge"

We laughed. Alice walked over, her face a little sad as she held up her drink, and receipt.

"What happened sweetie?" Rose asked Alice.

"The kid was stubborn." Alice said, "He must be new or something. He just kept repeating the total price and starring at me. Ugh."

"Aw it's ok", I interjected, "We still have American Eagle!"

That made her feel better.

"So how was yours Bell?" Alice asked

"Awkward."

"Huh? Explaaaaaain" Alice tried to coaxes out of me.

"Well, it was Edward Cullen." I tried to make a grossed out face

"EW!" They said in unison.

"I know, but it was fairly easy. Like usual" I bragged. "Oh you know what's worse?! He just transferred into my Chem. Class!"

They laughed.

"I feel for you honey. The kid's a loser. I heard he showers every 3 days" Rose said.

"I heard, he doesn't shower" Alice added

We laughed.

We got up and headed down to American Eagle.

Ugh I just got those eyes out of my head. Why does he make me feel like this…?

On our way down the wide hallways of the mall I stupidly stated outloud, "Well, he's kinda cute…ish."

"EW." Rose chuckled

"No. False." Alice snorted.

"I know", I fake laughed, "I don't even know why I said that."

And that was true. I don't know why I said it, or thought it…Or kept seeing him in my mind.

I walked a little faster, so I could flirt with some AE employee and get my mind off it.

The rest of the night went flawlessly. I won, of course. And I got home at around 1. I laid myself in my bed, strangely not tired. I got out my laptop and started typing. I was writing a story. A love story. After a good 10 minutes of non stop, awesome, writing, I looked down at what I wrote. One of my best to date. This was strange. I hadn't gotten a sudden rush of inspiration since I met Mike.
