If things were different.
CHAPTER 6; Hope
Bella, somethings will always be a mystery. Edward
So, I had run around my room, for twenty minutes, to find out somethings will always be a mystery. Fun(!) I went, from my desk, to my bed, hoping that the laptop didn't need charging. I'd lost the charger. 'Plink'. I stared, incredulously at the screen. I was sure I had signed out. I mean, what the hell?
Edward: Bella, don't ignore me.
Alice: Sorry Bella, I hacked into your laptop. He wouldn't quit quit bugging me.
I dropped my phone next to me, on the bed.
Bella: Edward, it's my free will. Alice, I'm changing the passwords. BRB
Alice: Awww, shucks. I expected as much. :P
Edward: Your will is going to crumble eventually.
Bella: Back & done, and no, it isn't.
Alice: o_O
Bella: Bye Alice X
Edward: Be like that, see if I care. You are so immature and stubborn.
Alice: Bye Bellz, love you XxXxXxXx
Bella: See you when you come over.
Edward: Don't think I'm not coming too.
Alice: Yup ^.^
Bella: Well, you'll feel the full extent of my cold shoulder. Byee love you ALICE X
And I signed out... Again.

School was as usual, boring. I couldn't wait to be free from Chemistry one Thursday afternoon. Tomorrow, I thought to myself. Tomorrow we'll be the old gang back together again, for a while. Renée had told Phil my plans to move back to Forks again. He gave me the old guilt trip.
"Bella, your mom and I want you here with us. Your mom, she won't be able to cope with you not here. What with Rose and Jasper staying with Charlie, she'll... well you can guess," he told me yesterday.
As I stepped into my car, I heard a familiar giggle behind me. I attempted to straighten up and turn around, but I whacked my head on the arch of the door. It had been raining earlier, so I had put the hood up.
"Ouch!" I moaned, rubbing the back of my head. I turned around to another giggle, and this time a low chuckle accompanied it.
"That was such a Bella thing to do!" Alice cried, squeezing my waist.
"What are you doing here?" I asked her, hugging her back. "I thought you were coming tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow's flight was fully booked and I didn't want to come a day after everyone else, so her we are!"
We screamed and giggled together, until someone cleared their throat. I turned around to see a blue t-shirt at my eye level.
"Are you two finished screaming yet? My ears are beginning to suffer."
"Urm..." I said looking towards Alice. "I, urgh... well, I..." I trailed off. Just shut up, Bella, stop making a fool of yourself!
Alice gave me a weird look, "Bella and me are catching up, it's what girls do."
"Yeah, I know that, but you've been 'catching up' for the last five minutes. People are beginning to stare."
"Since when did you care about people staring, Edward?"
What, that's not Edward! That can't be him. He wasn't this tall. Neither was he so gorg-
"Since you two are acting like total idiots. Nice car by the way, Bella," he interupted my thoughts.
"Urm... thankyou?" Oh, God.
"Can we get going now?" he pressed.
"Might as well," Alice sighed. "Bella, we got here on the bus."
"Hop in."
The ten minute car ride back was filled with talking, squabbling and Alice muttering about Edward being a jerk.
"God, Edward. Quit being such a smart ass." I saw her eyes narrow out of the corner of my eye. I had decide to stay out of their little debate on why Gucci is (or isn't) overpriced and overrated.
"Alice, you know I'm right. It's so overrated, maybe if you could wear a dress more than once it would be worth it.."
"Edward, it's all about the choice, not the freaking prices. Just because you don't have anyone to buy it fo-"
"Shut up. Right now."
"Ooohh. Did I hit a nerve?"
What the..., Gucci? Come on?
"Right, you two, stop being gimps. Sit in your seats, with the seat belts on, and shut up."
"But I-" Alice began.
"What did I just tell you?"
"To stop being a gimp.... I am not a gimp."
"Oh you so wish, Alice."
"Whatever. You are fighting with your brother about clothes, and Edward. Just no."
"Sorry, Bella."
"We almost there yet?"
"Yes, now zip it."
I pressed the button hidden behind the steering wheel to open the automatic garage door.
"Nice!"
A/N Thank you for the reviews, it's nice to know there are people enjoying... [probably not but at least your reading =D]
Please continue to read, I've written MOST of Chapter 7 :)... who minds if it stops part way through and then skips some of a evening?
Please continue to REVIEW... give me ideas and constructive criticism...I've read a couple of 'fics that I think the dialogue between the characters doesn't sound anything like something one of Steph Meyer's charaters would say...which bugs me. (Tell me if this is one of them! - I'm hoping it's not...)
REVIEW.... and review :)
& Who's heard of Spring Harvest?
