Chapter 6
Bella's POV
The rest of my day passed much like my first day just not as many people stared at me, which was good. I was looking forward to Saturday since I actually had plans. Even though I hate shopping, I was happy it would give me a chance to become close friends with Alice and Rosalie. I didn't know what to expect with Alice, she's always happy and very energetic but today she greeted me in art class, asked me to sit with her at lunch again and we talked about tomorrow.
Rosalie did the same and she really surprised me. I thought she didn't like me at first since she was breath-taking beautiful and loved all the attention, but she also surprised me. She talked and joked with me and didn't seem to judge me or hate me. It seemed like we were friends.
Jasper and Emmett also seemed like good friends and we all got along, including Edward.
I would be lying if I said I didn't like Edward. He was incredibly gorgeous, Greek God beautiful and charming. It was easy to fall into his emerald eyes and loose all train of thought. He was perfect and I was just ordinary.
I could never tell anyone about my feelings because if I told Alice that would become awkward and weird because it's her brother. Rose was out because she can't keep a secret and if I told Jasper or Emmett they would tell Edward. And I couldn't tell Edward because of fear of rejection and I have to help him with art if he wants to pass and he has to help me with Trig if I want to pass.
I couldn't tell anyone and I wont.
I walking out of the gym when I remembered I didn't have my truck, so I decided to walk home. I headed into the parking lot when Mike stopped me.
"Bella, get in. I'll drive you home." he told me from the driver seat in his car.
"No thanks Mike, I rather walk." He was oblivious to me freezing him out.
"Don't be stupid Bella, first becoming friends with Cullen, now this, just get in." he said.
He made me angry, my life was none of his business and he kept trying to make it his business.
"Get lost." I told him, walking the opposite way.
"Hey Bella!" Alice cheered, pulling me away from my thoughts.
"Hey Alice, what's up?"
"The guys have a track meet tonight and I wondered if you wanted to come with Rose and I. She's cheering for Emmett, I'm cheering for Jasper and I wondered if you wanted to cheer for Edward or just come and watch." Alice explained, making something seem off about this and how she wanted me to cheer for Edward.
"Uh, sure I guess. I didn't have anything else planned other then doing some laundry." I answered. I would've never pictured myself going to a track meet or any other school function, but I liked Alice so hanging out with her couldn't be too bad.
"Great! The track meet is at seven, we'll come get you around six thirty. It will be so much fun! We're having a little party afterward at our house too." She said excited.
"Sounds fun, but Alice I really gotta go. I have to walk home before Charlie gets home or I might not be able to do anything tonight or tomorrow." I joked.
"Oh! Why don't you let Edward drive you home? I'm going with Jasper so take my seat." She said with a wink, something was definitely up, but I didn't care. I needed a ride.
"Are you sure he wont mind?" I asked.
"Not at all! See you tonight!" she exclaimed before bouncing off. She was up to something, but I couldn't worry about that right now, I needed to get home."
"Hey Bella! You need a ride?" Edward called to me. He was at his car getting ready to unlock the door and get in. He was looking at me with questioning eyes and I had to look away to not fall into them.
"Eh, yeah. Thanks." I answered walking over to his car. He opened the door for me, even though it was out of his way, and we drove out of the parking lot.
"Thanks for giving me a ride." I told him once he got in.
"No problem. Mike wouldn't give you a ride? He asked curious.
"No, he offered, but I declined." I told him pushing the thought of how I didn't mind telling Edward about my life, but I hated when Mike asked.
"So, freezing him out are we?" he asked with a smirk and quiet laugh.
"A little, I guess." I answered with a grin. I looked around his car and noticed a few CD's lying around. I picked one up and noticed it said 'RECORDED MUSIC BY EDWARD CULLEN' in Alice's girly and writing.
"You record music?" I asked amused.
"Actually, no. Alice records me sneakily and made me a CD." He said shyly.
"Oh, well I think that's cool. What kind of music?" I asked.
"Sometimes my own stuff, and classics." He said. He acted as if he was about this, turning the silence awkward.
"So, you're good at musical art just not drawing?" I joked.
"I guess so." He said with a smile.
I put the CD down and glanced at the dash board and caught site of the speedometer.
"Holy cow! Slow down!" I exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" he asked worried.
"You're going way too fast!"
"Oh, I always drive fast. Never gotten a ticket though, it's ok." He said with a relaxed tone, but there also seemed to be a hint of amusement in his voice and a small smile on his lips.
"We're going to die." I told him.
"No we won't, trust me." He said with one of his beautiful smiles and I couldn't help but smile back and trust him.
"Let's play a game." He said.
"Okay, what game?" I asked amused.
"Truth." He stated with a smile.
"Isn't that the kind of game girls play at a sleepover?" I asked.
"I don't know, you tell me," he retorted back with a laugh.
"I wouldn't know. Ok, how do you play?" I asked.
"We ask each other questions and we have to answer truthfully." He explained.
"How do you know if their telling the truth?" I asked.
"Your just have to trust them." he responded with a smirk.
"Ok, how does it end and how do you win?" I asked curious about the game.
"It ends when someone backs down from a question or lies. You win by asking someone a touch question and them passing on it, meaning they don't answer and then they get a chance to ask you a tough question and you win by answering it truthfully." He explained.
"Ok, I'm in. You go first." I challenged.
"Ok, favorite color?" he asked.
"That's not tough." I said with a smile.
"Not all questions are meant to be tough, you can ask anything. Are you passing already?" he asked.
"Not at all. Green is my favorite color." I told him, I couldn't say emerald, it would be too obvious.
"Huh, I pegged you as the blue girl." He responded.
"Why?" I asked confused.
"You're just calm and it reminds me of blue. And you're secretive, and that reminds me of blue too." He explained.
"Oh, ok." I said confused still. "My turn?" I asking dropping it.
"Yep, hit me." He answered ready for his question.
"Favorite animal?" I asked.
He took his time and looked deep in thought with his forehead crinkled and eye brows scrunched. I looked out the window and noticed we were parked in front of my house but had no idea how long we had been there.
"Mountain lion." He answered and I whipped my head around to look at him.
"Why mountain lion?" I asked.
"Their great attackers and incredibly fast." He answered with excitement.
"I see." I responded. "I would love to continue to see which question you are going to ask next, but I better get in before Charlie comes home. I'll see you tonight though, ok?" I asked.
"Are you going to the meet or the party?" he asked.
"Both. Alice invited me. See you later." I said before getting out and heading up to my house.
Edward POV
I drove away from Bella's house and headed to mine to get ready for the meet. I was excited Bella was going to be at the meet, but I was also a little nervous that she'd be there watching me. Ignoring that thought I focused on the game I had started with her, truth.
It was the perfect way I could get to know her. I cant help but regret making that be with Mike. Hopefully he'll forget it since she keeps blowing him off.
I got all my stuff together and headed to the school where I met up with Jasper and Emmett in the locker room.
"Hey man, ready for the meet?" Jasper asked as he pulled on his uniform shirt.
"Yeah, let's go." I said heading out to the track.
Bella's POV
Alice and Rosalie came over and picked my outfit out for me. I didn't understand why I needed to change, but they saw a reason for it and instead of wasting time I just went with it and got ready.
"How do I look?" I asked walking back into my bedroom changed into the skinny jeans, red t-shirt and white zip up sweat shirt jacket.
"Amazing!" Rosalie cheered from my bed.
"Oh. My. God! Edward is so going to fall for you in that!" Alice blurted, leaving me confused and Rosalie looked pissed.
"You weren't supposed to tell her yet!" Rose said giving her a glare.
"What is going on?" I asked confused.
"We made you change because we think something is going on between you and Edward. There is, isn't there?" Alice asked excited.
"No, there isn't. We're just friends, that's it." I told them, hoping they couldn't tell that I thought of Edward as more than a friend.
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say. We've all seen how you two act around each other." Rosalie said bored of the conversation now.
"Everyone knows something is going on with you two." Alice said.
"Yeah, a friendship." I told them.
"Whatever, you'll admit it someday. Lets go, we're going to be late." Alice said getting up from my bed and heading out to her car. Rosalie and I followed and we all headed to the high school track.
