Not Always As They Appear

Chapter 6: Pet Shops and Memories

APOV

Jasper, Rose, Em, and I were sitting in my room. Jazz and I were on my bed, Em was sitting on my desk chair, and Rose was in one of my many beanbags. We were discussing how our plan is working.

"So, faze one is completed right?" asked Jasper.

"Yep, they left the cafeteria together and walked to class in the same state," Rose answered. She knew because she had her fifth period down the hall from Mr. Banner`s room, "Ok, so what about faze two?" asked Rose.

"Um… what was faze two again?" asked Jasper.

"Faze two: make/force them ride home together. Now the question is did that happen?"I asked looking in Emmett's direction.

"Well they both had to stay after school with Banner so they might have ridden together," mentioned Jasper.

"But I want to know for sure."

"Um… who exactly was supposed to make sure that happened?" he asked sounding nervous.

"Eeeeemmmmmmmmmmmeeeeetttttttttt," I whined as Rose slapped her forehead and Jasper shook his head. "You were supposed to follow them after you dropped us off and make sure fazes two and three went according to plan. Now how are we going to know if our plan is working?"

"Guys I'm so sorry. I forgot."

"Hey Emmett," asked Rose, "Where exactly did you go after you dropped us off?" I have to admit she had a good point.

"Well I…um…ugh…and…well…you…yep that's it," he told us grinning.

"Emmett just tell us where you were."

"Ok, fine, I was at the pet store."

"Um…Emmett," I asked slightly confused, "why exactly where you at the pet store?"

"Well, you see, the puppies they are so cute and soft. And their faces they are like the cutest things ever."

"Emmett let me just tell you that you are strange and you scare me entirely," Jasper told him as Rose and I laughed.

I glance over at the clock and noticed it was almost midnight, "Now I suggest that we head to bed." Jasper and Rosalie were sleeping over again.

I went to my closet and grabbed a ton of blankets and pillows for us to camp out on. I threw the fluffy, soft objects on the ground and we began rearranging them into a suitable setting for sleeping. After the four of us sprawled out of out 'bed' and began to drift to sleep.

Edward and I are still locked in the closet, have been for about the last five hours. About three hours ago Edward told me he loved me and I told him the same. I still have not gotten over the high of it. I still felt as if I could fly. And couldn't keep from smiling ever single minute.

"Bella, love, do you want to rest or try to sleep?" Edward asked me. He has been calling me 'love' for the past three hours and every time he called me it, my heart soared.

I yawned, "Sure. What exactly are we going to use as a bed?" I asked.

"Well, here," he picked up our jackets that we had taken off earlier. He took my, balled it up, and set it on the floor. He eased himself onto the floor and lay down. He fidgeted around until he was comfortable, and then opened his arms for me.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Come one love."

I sat down then crawled over to Edward and used his chest as a pillow. He then took his jacket and laid it across me. "Won`t you get cold?" I asked considering the jacket only covered me.

"No I'm fine. Are you okay?"He asked me. He was being so sweet to me.

"Yeah I'm great."

"Goodnight Bella. I love you," I told me as he kissed my forehead.

"I love you too."

A few hours later I was awake. The only difference now is that Edward is fast asleep. He is so cute when he is sleeping. He reminds me of a little boy who has no worries and is totally care free. I've heard that you truly love someone when you can sit and watch then sleep for hours on end and never get bored. This saying just adds more proof.

I started to think about the time we met in third grade.

Flashback (Third Grade)

God I really hate school. All the girls find me weird because I hate the color pink and I don't play with Barbie and her friends. All the boys stay away from me because I'm a girl and I shouldn't like things boys like. It's been like this for the past four years. Every year I have been the class loner. I just wish it would change.

"Hello," a voice said from behind me. I turned around to see a boy my age with bright green eyes and penny colored hair.

"Hi."

"I'm Edward. I was wondering if you wanted to be my friend. I just moved here and I need a friend?" he asked.

"I'm Bella and are you sure you want to be my friend? Nobody else does?" I asked.

"I'm sure."

For the rest of the day Edward and I played and we became best friends. Near the end of the day a kid with tan skin and raven colored hair came over to us, mainly Edward.

"Let me guess, you're the new kid?" he asked Edward.

"Why do you say that?" Edward asked the kid.

"Well for one you're hanging out with Swan here," he said pointing to me.

"What`s wrong with Bella?"

"Well she's strange. But I'm Black, Jacob Black. I can help you out with making new friends."

"You know what? I know how to make friends and I also know that Bella is not weird or strange." Edward said standing up for me.

"You will regret that new kid. Believe me." Jacob sneered.

"Whatever."

"Thanks Edward. No one has ever stood up for me before," I thanked him.

"Well that going to change soon because now I'm your best friend and I'll stand up for you now."

End Flashback

From that moment on Edward and I have hated Jacob Black and we have been best friends. Well cutting out the last few years, when we 'hated' each other.

When I finally fell asleep, I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
