A/N: Here it is! The second chapter! Just so you know, this story is going to be in Bella's POV all the way. You'll find out in this chapter why I named the story You Make Me So Hot!...I may change the title...I'm not sure yet! I was thinking. Should I have a soundtrack for this story?...Like have each chapter have a song?
Chapter Two: You Look Good In My Hat
Previously: Wait? Lauren's here. That means...I looked around the room and met the amazing eyes of my angel, Edward.
Our eyes were locked for a couple seconds before I dropped my gaze. There was just something about his eyes that made me go dizzy. i looked up again quickly and noticed a faint smile had crossed his lips. Seeing this made me smile.
Around the room, I saw everyone that helped us with the fundraising for our prom. All of the junior class, Edward's mom, Matt and Mandy Hale, wanda McCarthy, and our other sponsor, Michelle Stephens.
I shook my head, trying to clear it, and went to sit down by Alice. Her face looked very gloomy. It was like there was a rain cloud above her head.
"What's wrong, Alice?" She looked up at me and I could see nothing but sadness in her eyes.
"Oh, it's nothing, Bella!" She smiled, trying to convince me, but I'm her best friend and she should have known that she can't fool me that easily. Her eyes told me everything. I frowned at her and she looked down at her hands. "Jasper just called me. He said he can't make it!"
"Oh, Alice, I'm sorry!" I hugged her neck, hoping to make her feel better.
She pushed me away. "No, no, really! It's fine! You go ahead and dance!"
I put my arms across my chest stubbornly. "Nope! I'm not going anywhere!"
Alice put her hand over her mouth, stifling a laugh. "I know your having fun not going anywhere, but Edward's staring at you!"
My arms released their stubborn position as I whispered, "What?!"
I looked up and sure enough, he was staring at me. He smiled when he noticed he got my attention and got up. Surely he's not coming to sit by me...there's no room. But as I looked around, I noticed there was room. There was an empty seat right next to me. Next to the empty seat, Lee Stephens and his girlfriend, Samantha Tingley were sitting down. He's just coming to sit down by Lee. My heart and stomach did flips just because of the slim chance that maybe he was coming to sit by me.
When he sat down, I was very aware of him, even though I was trying my best not to be. I turned slightly towards him, noticing someone singing. It was him. I listened to the song that was playing. It was Get Out My Face by Soulja Boy and he was singing along, making me laugh.
"What?" He shrugged, making me laugh more.
"Nothing." I said. It was really everything. His face, his smile, his laugh, his eyes. Everything. All those things is what made me love him. He will never know that, though.
Edward brought me out of my daydreaming, grabbing my shoulder. "Do you wanna dance?"
That question caught me by complete surprise. "What?" I acted like I didn't hear him just so he would ask me again.
"I said, 'Do you wanna dance?'" I looked into his emerald eyes, searching for anything that would pass him off as joking, but I found nothing.
"No. It's a fast song. You know I can't dance anyways." I really couldn't dance.
His face dropped; his smile faded into a frown and he had no glimmer in his eyes anymore.
"It's not that I don't want to, don't get me wrong! But, seriously. You know that I can't dance. Especially to fast songs!" I felt like I owed him an explanation.
He smiled and said, "Next time, then!"
When he said that, I felt like there was definitely going to be a next time, just not anytime soon.
I turned my attention back to Alice and started talking to her. Her eyes flickered to Edward and then back to me.
"I know! Now, shh!" I put my finger up to my lips, giggling.
When we heard the next song, Alice and I, along with every other girl at the dance, screamed. Our Song was blaring through the speakers and we were singing along.
I started singing along to Edward. "Our song is the slamming screen doors, sneaking out late, tapping on your window!" What's kind of funny is that we live like 100 feet from each other. This could actually be our song if we were actually even dating.
Everytime I would turn to sing to Edward, he would have the biggest smile on his face, his white teeth gleaming. The disco lights we had going were bouncing off his face like he was made of diamonds.
I turned back to Alice, afraid that I would get lost in his eyes like I always do.
When the next song came on, it had the same reaction as the last song did. All the girls started singing along, as did I.
I grabbed Alice's arm, laughing. "You make me so hot, you make me wanna drop, you're so ridiculous, I can barely stop!"
Edward grabbed my arm, making me turn in his direction. "Kiss me, gently, always, I know, hold me, love me, don't ever go..."
He took his hat in his hands and carefully placed it on top of my head. This simple, little act sent my heart into a frenzy. It slowed to a stop, then it picked up speed, going double-time.
I ignored my heart, hoping Edward wouldn't hear it. I pulled my hair through the hole in the hat. At this point, I wasn't worried about my hair, but I knew that it would hurt Alice's feelings later.
He pulled the bill down a little. "There! You know what? You look good in my hat!"
I blushed at his words, looking down at my now writhing hands.
"I'm serious. It's kinda...cute." He stumbled over his words.
My blush went from a light pink to crimson in just a matter of seconds. And, even though, it was dark, I still think he saw my blush.
I moved my eyes to look at him and said, "Thanks." I couldn't manage to get anything else out. He smiled at me, making me blush again.
Lauren and Rosalie were coming over to where we were. Obviously, Edward saw them too, because he said a quick goodbye and went to sit by Emmett.
Lauren put her hands on her hips. "Oh, I see you stole my boyfriends hat!" That hurt, it cut real deep. Knowing Edward was Lauren's boyfriend and not mine would always hurt me.
I pulled on the bill just to irritate her. "No, actually, Edward, put it on me himself!" I smiled at her. She just rolled her eyes and stomped off. Rosalie gave me an apologetic smile and chased after Lauren. I was friends with Rosalie. She was a lot nicer than Lauren and she was dating my cousin, Emmett. How could I not like her?
Alice yanked on my arms, almost causing me to fall out of my chair.
"What?!" I exclaimed. She pointed up at the hat. "Oh, that." I smiled brightly. "It's Edwards."
Alice rolled her eyes. "I know its Edwards, silly. What I want to know is why it's on your head."
I chuckled, slightly embarrassed. "He put it on me! Simple as that!"
Alice shook her head saying, "Bella, it's never just as 'simple as that'! What did you two talk about?"
I sighed. Alice always wanted to know ALL the details.
I shrugged. "Just stuff." We really didn't talk about anything in particular...besides dancing, a little voice in my head shouted at me.
Alice narrowed her eyes at me. I just lifted my arms up in a shrug. "What?"
Alice's eyes widened. "Just stuff?! What kind of stuff?"
"Alice...," I groaned. At that exact moment, my Aunt Kaye McCarthy came over, saving me for a little while.
She grabbed my hand, trying to get me up.
I shook my head vigorously. "No, no, no, no, NO!"
She just laughed. "Yes, Bella, come one! Dance with me!"
I sighed and got up, afraid that my clumsiness would kick in at any moment.
"But, I don't know how to dance!" My face went wild with horror. My aunt laughed again.
"Look, just take my hands." I took her hands in mine. "No, take two steps this way! Good! Now, take two steps that way." I took the two necessary steps, feeling confident. I smiled up at her, completely satisfied with myself.
We danced in silence for a little while before she asked, "So, I saw Edward put his hat on you. What was that all about anyways?"
I let out a groan, knowing I couldn't keep it from her.
"I don't know really. When he does stuff like this," I pointed to his hat, "it makes me think he likes me."
She giggled. "Bella, you obviously can't see, but he's crazy about you. Just the way he looks at you tells me that. I don't need no degree to see that."
"You really think so?" She nodded. "When we were little, we both liked each other, but of course you know all about that. Anyways, at that time, I was just too stubborn to see it. Do you think it's too late for us? I really like him, heck, maybe even love him."
"Bella, I don't think so. You should really pay attention to the way he looks at you. Waiting is all you can do, unless..." she trailed off.
I looked at her confused. "Unless what?"
She smiled. "Unless you really want to fight for him...you've got to do everything in your power if it's really love, honey!" The song ended just as she did.
I hugged her tightly saying, "Thanks, Aunt Kaye. I love you!"
She smiled and hugged me back. "I love you, too!"
I ran over and sat back down by Alice, hoping no one else would ask me to dance. "I don't know how long my clumsiness is going to stay hidden, Alice. Hopefully, the table breaking will be the only thing embarrassing that will happen tonight because of my lack of grace." I laughed and so did Alice.
Lauren and Rosalie walked over to where we were sitting. "Hey, Bella, dance with me. Please!" Lauren had a big smile on her face.
"No," I said icily. She was acting too innocent.
"Bella, are you made at me? Lately, it seems that way."
It really wasn't that I was mad at her, more jealous, in fact. I mean, she has everything. But, there's really only one reason why I'm truly jealous of her and that's because she has Edward and I don't.
I put on my poker face of innocence and said, "No, I'm not mad. Come on!" I grabbed her wrist and started dancing. We started singing along to the music.
"Heel, toe, dosie doe! Come on, baby, let's go boot scooting!" Just being like this, goofing off with a friend, felt good. As much as I didn't like to admit it, I kinda missed Lauren's friendship. Well, what little friendship we had.
As we were laughing at ourselves, I noticed someone had their eye on me. It was Edward. When he saw that he had my attention, he smiled my favorite crooked grin. Everytime after that, when I would look at him, he would smile and wink. Luckily, Lauren couldn't see our quick smiles and glances. Sometimes, I thought she did see it, but she just doesn't want to admit it; more to herself than to me.
The song came to a close and we went our separate ways. I took my seat by Alice and Lauren took hers by Edward. When she sat down, she obviously said something to him he didn't like because he got up and salked off outside. Lauren chased him out the door immediately. All the while, my heart was breaking. I knew I would be hearing about the fight at school, in Chemistry class. That's the class we talk a lot in. He always runs to me when they have problems. I don't really mind that much, though. What would hurt me worse is if he didn't talk to me at all. But still, just hearing about them hurts.
I ignored the situation, turning back around. To my surprise, Emmett was standing in front of me. My eyes widened in response and I gasped. He laughed loudly at my reaction, saying, "Bella...your reactions...hilarious!" Just a little bit more laughing and he would have been rolling around on the floor.
I just shook it off. "Yeah, yeah. Do you need something, Emmett?"
He hit the heel of his hand on his forehead. "Oh, yeah!" He laughed and bowed down slightly, holding out his hand. "May I have this dance?" I laughed and took his hand.
As we were dancing, I saw Rosalie dancing with on of her guy friends from La Push. I thought I would mess with her a little so I said, "Hey Rosalie. Look who I'm dancing with!" I stuck out my tongue, laughing. She rolled her eyes and laughed. When it came to my cousins, I actually was a little jealous of their attention. I'm just an overall jealous person, but I'll never show it.
Emmett asked me a question, bringing me back to the present. "Is that Edward's hat?" Jeez, how many times am I going to have to explain this tonight?
"Yeah, Lauren's really mad at me for it." I laughed nervously. "But, oh well."
Emmett looked at me. "I wouldn't worry about Lauren. My little cousin here," he ruffled the hair sticking out of the hat, "can take her anyday." He laughed loudly, causing me to laugh, even though I wasn't convinced.
By this time, the dance was almost over. A couple people had already left. Kelsey and Cody, Lee and Samantha, and the people that came up from La Push left, too.
The sound of the door opening and closing got my attention. I caught a glimpse of Edward and Lauren going out the door. I thought they were fighting again, but the door opened and Edward walked through. He walked over to his mom and whispered something in her ear.
"Hey, Bella, are you ready? I'm getting kinda tired." Alice held back a yawn.
"Yeah, hold on. I've gotta do something really quick." I ran over to Edward, taking his hat off. "Here ya go."
He turned around and smiled. "Thanks for keeping it warm for me." He winked, smiling my favorite crooked smile, and disappeared.
