Chapt 3.
"Eeeeek!" Alice said under my fingers, also trying to get my hand off her face.
"Alice, shush! Ill take my hand away, only if you shush!" I said.
"mmhm" Alice nodded her head.
"okay," I hesitantly took my hand off her mouth.
"Bella!" she whispered. "you can not say that there wasn't a spark! I practically saw it!" she ginned.
"oh, Al-ice." I said, dropping on to her bed face first. I just layed there for a second, trying to catch my breath, and calm down.
I felt someone lay next to me. "Bella calm down, it was totally cute how he caught you, and how you said 'my hero' without even knowing it was him. And just in them few seconds he had you by the waste, I could see that you's were meant for each other! Match made in heaven! Bella, look at me!" she shook my body, trying to make me look up at her.
I rolled over onto my back and sat up to obey her. I could see she was being truthful, though, a part of me, wished she wasn't. Its not like he liked me in that way anyway. We'd never get together. Damn you Alice, i'm getting my hopes up now...
I sighed. "I better get home, I've got homework." I told Alice as I got off her bed.
"alright, see you tomorrow Bella." I just nodded in reply.
As I walked carefully down the stairs, I wasn't really taking notice what was infront of me, only below me, so I ran into Edward, again.
"oh!" I said, as I hit his chest, looking up at him.
"Sorry Bella," he chuckled. "And sorry about before too."
"oh, no, that was my fault" I said, going red. " a-anyway, I was just about to go home.." I said as I went to step around him.
"oh okay, are you okay to drive home? I mean, you seem a little dizzy…?"
yeah, yeah, I should be fine.." I said as I rushed out the door. His dreamy voice was getting to me. I probably would've said 'sure' to anything he said if I stayed with him any longer.
I got into the car, started it, stalled it in my hurry, started it again, and then drove home.
When I got home I went straight upstairs to the bathroom and splashed my face with water. My face was all red, and my cheeks were hot. "get yourself together, Bella, geez.." I mumbled to myself.
Then the phone rang. I jumped in surprise. As I rushed down the stairs to answer the phone, I was thinking it would probably be Charlie, my dad, because he isn't home yet.
"hello?" I said into the telephone.
"hi, Bella" that wasn't Charlie's voice. It was a voice that I remembered all too well, which definitely wasn't a good thing.
"oh, uh, hello Edward." My heart started racing.
"I was just calling to see if you got home okay. You seemed in a hurry to get away, and it seemed you wanted to get away from me? Did I do something wrong?" he sounded worried, and actually caring.
Bella, its probably just the phone making him sound that way, Alice probably told him to call me. It wasn't his choice.
"oh, yeah, i'm fine. And no you did nothing wrong, i'm sorry I made it seem that way." I said in a rush.
"oh. Okay, well… ill let you go. Alice told me you had homework, so…"
"okay, bye Edward." I loved saying his name. that wasn't good.
"by-bye Bella" then I hung up.
I ran straight to my room, to my mobile that was on my dresser, where I left it this morning to charge.
I went into my phone book, and went to 'Alice' then went to 'send text message'.
Alice! I wrote…
Did you tell Edward to ring me?
If so, why?
Are you trying to make me have a heart attack?
Love Bella xx
I sat on my bed, and waited for a reply. A minute later, I got a reply.
Bella, did Edward ring you?
No, I didn't tell him to, he just asked me why you were leaving so soon, and I told him because you had homework. That's all I said to him.
Promise on our friendship.
That's SO cute that he rang you!
What'd he say?
What'd you say?
Details woman!
Xxx – A
"hmm…" i said.
what! You didn't tell him too?
he just rang to see if I got home okay, because 'I seemed in a rush to get away from your house and him' and he wanted to know if he did anything wrong to make me want to get away from him so quickly.
Oh, and btw, I ran into him again, on my way down the steps from your room…
And he asked if I wanted him to drive me home! Because I seemed dizzy!
I said no of course!
Oh my, Alice…
This isn't good, I really like him, and he will never like me the same way!
Why meeeee!
Anyway, Alice, talk at school yeah?
DO NOT SHOW THIS TEXT TO ANYONE!
Or ill have to kill you..
- bells xox
Was my reply.
I heard Charlie's cruiser pull into the driveway, so I ran downstairs, to make dinner.
