Hey, I'm back. I'm sorry about the wait but yeah. Let's just say a lot of crap has been going on in my life.
If you want to know what has prevented me from writing here's a summary. My boyfriend broke up with me because...well I honestly don't know...but it was the result of him thinking about if we should be together or not. I had to start getting ready to mvoe out of my apartment because I got blindsided from the news of me having to move out to help my bro...which means I would've had to move home (sometimes I hate being the youngest). Went to Florida to see bro graduate. Came back was going to write, but started 5 week semster of school...ugh. Been busy and annoyed by undecisive fam and then learning I don't have to move back home. And...yeah...I think that covers it.
But anywho...thank you to all who are still reading despite the long period of time between updates. And thank you for all the reviews they really helped me through my "I'm depressed/angry because my ex is stupid" period lol. (But don't worry I'm fine and survivng now).
OK so now onto the next day to see what Bella will do :) A link to Bella's outfit is on my profile.

The next morning I got up loving the smell of already made breakfast without me having to make it. Don't get me wrong I love to cook, but sometimes you need a rest. I got up and headed to the kitchen where Alice was bouncing around, of course she's a morning person, singing with the radio as Rose sat at the table nodding along to the beat as she drank her coffee.
"Good you're up," Alice chirped setting a plate of pancakes down where I was going to sit. "Now eat fast because you need to take a shower, and I sat an outfit out for you, and when you're done Rose and I will do your hair and makeup," she said with one breath.
I nodded in response as Rose pushed an extra cup of coffee over to me. "Alice already had some and by the way you look, you seem that you need some caffeine to keep up with the ball of energy." I knew she was right. But really, Alice plus caffeine, that should just be a crime in itself. The little pixie was hyper enough without it; I'm just surprised she wasn't bouncing off the walls like she normally was.
"Bella did you not hear me," I heard Alice complaining from spot in front of the sink as she washed the dirty cookware. "And don't you dare roll your eyes at me."
Damn, how did she know every time I was going to roll my eyes?
I mumbled my okay and ate breakfast as I listened to my friends talk about different things. After being yelled at to get my butt cleaned and dressed in the proper outfit a few more times I finally went upstairs and did everything the small Pixie commanded.
Once I came out of the shower I looked at the clothes that Alice picked for me and they weren't too bad. She picked out a white tank top with writing on it, a modest jean skirt, brown leather cowboy-like boots and matching brown leather jacket. Thankfully she trusted me enough to at least pick my own bra and panties.
Once dressed I got on a bracelet that was from Jacob for my 18th birthday that he made himself in shop class, as well as a necklace that my mom got me. I yelled down the steps for Alice and Rose to know that it was safe to come up and do my hair and makeup. After they were done I grabbed the jacket and then had a thought.
"Alice…I have a cast how am I supposed to get this over it?"
She just rolled her eyes in response and looked at the sleeve easily finding a zipper that went to about the elbow.
"That's how now let's go we're gonna be late for school," she said skipping out of the room. Rosalie followed once she was done looking at herself in the mirror. Then I took her place looked myself over and grabbed my bag before following them.
We got into the car and I couldn't believe that Alice was drinking another glass of coffee in a to-go cup. When I looked at Rose she just looked at me and we both knew it would be a very interesting day with her around. Right as my butt hit the seat Alice pulled out of my driveway thrusting me forward, and then proceeded to take off towards school making me get thrown back hitting the seat.
"OUCH! ALICE!" I yelled quickly getting my seat belt on.
"What?" she asked innocently
"Charlie is a cop and if he pulls you over or if any cop pulls you over he may band you from out house as well as me ever riding with you."
"Bella, Bella, Bella…I've never gotten a speeding ticket or anything so I don't know what you're talking about."
"Fine, but please slow down because you do know you're with a danger magnet remember?"
"She is right," Rose said checking her nails, "she is a danger magnet."
"So the perfect solution to that is to go fast so they can't catch us," Alice giggled as she sped up and I held onto anything I could to keep me safe.
After saying the Hail Mary a few times, at least as much as I knew of that prayer, we were finally at the school. Just to annoy Alice I jumped out and knelt on the ground pretending to kiss it.
"Land!" I said happily as Alice got out.
"Ha ha, Bella, it wasn't that bad at all. And you call me the drama queen," she rolled her eyes as I got up sticking my tongue out at her. She just stuck her tongue back out at me. I know we're very mature.
The guys came over and we hung out by the cars for a bit before the dreaded school bell rang. And then I saw Edward walking into the school talking to Angela. Suddenly the strong part of me that was determined to make Edward mine started to deteriorate and become jelly.
Once I was brought out of my staring and jell-o like state I went into the school to start my long day. And all I wanted was to keep my confidence, which wasn't easy at all, and try to do what I wanted to get accomplished.
All through lunch I couldn't stop my leg from bouncing. I kept thinking how I was going to do this. Should I just go up and kiss him? Or should I be subtle and seductively? Or maybe I should just give up, because I don't know what the hell I'm doing.
"Bells what's wrong you look like you have to give a speech next class?" Jasper asked.
"No," I replied trying to decide how I'm going to do this. If I try to ask for advice everyone is going to put their two cents in which I normally wouldn't mind but I don't do things the same way they do it. So this was something that I had to figure out on my own.
As they chatted away I was watching the hands of the clock tick by. And too soon the bell rang signaling for us to head to our next class. Everyone else got up chatting away as I slowly gathered my things trying to prolong what I wanted, but yet very terrified, to do.
Why does it seem whenever you want something to not come to pass faster it does? Because before I knew it I was walking into the Biology room taking tiny steps towards my seat. I kept giving myself some mental pep talks on the way there. They mostly included telling myself not to throw up, mostly on Edward, or faint from being so nervous.
When I got to my seat I still had my head down and I saw some books occupying the spot where mine were supposed to be. Confusion came over me as I wondered whom books they were. But my answer was quickly answered when I looked up and saw Jessica sitting in my seat talking to Edward with her annoying voice.
"Hey Bella," Edward said a bit relieved when Jessica's attention was turned from him to me when he said my name.
"Hi Edward…hi Jessica."
"Hi Bella, you don't mind me sitting here today do you?"
"Well I kind of do…it's my assigned seat."
"But it's not like we have to sit in our seats. And besides it's just this one time Bella, so I'm sure it'll be fine."
"Jessica, I'd rather just sit in my own seat."
"Well too bad you can just sit in mine. It's only one more row back. Besides if Eddie and I are going to be partners in Anatomy then we need to see how to work together the best. And practice makes perfect, right Eddie," she said running a hand down Edward's arm. I could see him wince every time she called him Eddie. Everyone knew that he hated to be called that, well, I guess everyone except Jessica. Even I hated her calling him Eddie, because he never seemed liked an 'Eddie'.
"Jess, you can get to know about him some other time or just talk to him after class or school. But right now you're in my seat." I'm not sure where the extra boost of confidence in my voice came from but I liked it.
"OMG, Bella, it's not that bad. So just sit in my seat. It's not like you're gonna die. And besides I want to get to know Edward now and sit by him. So you should be a good person like you always are and just go sit in my seat. Also, it doesn't seem like Edward cares if you sit here because it seems that he enjoys my company better than he ever will yours, just like most guys."
By this point the whole class was watching to see what my reaction would be to what Jessica said.
"Wow, Jessica, you're right the guys always do love you. Or wait…I actually think they love that you put out more than they actually love you. I mean have you heard your voice, its naisly and high. And I'm surprised Edward hasn't covered your mouth with duct tape from having to sit here and listen to you. I'm pretty sure if you even cared about actually getting to know him, rather than just his dick, you would already know he hates being called Eddie.
"And I highly doubt you'll be taking anatomy next year since the only way you're passing this class is because you give blow jobs to Tyler Crawley so that he'll do the homework for you. So unless you're gonna 'get to know' Edward, aka put out so he'll do your work, you're not taking anatomy next year. So get you're slutty ass off my seat and away from Edward."
By the time I was done with my little rant my hands were fisted and my body was rigid and leaning over a stunned Jessica who, like the rest of the class, was staring at me with open mouths. Which I don't blame them, being the shy, smart girl was all they knew about me. Even I surprised myself with my rant and mentally gave myself a pat on the back.
After a few moments Jessica finally composed herself and stood up so we were eye level. Normally I would be backing up but the adrenaline that was pumping through me made me stand my ground and not cower away.
"Fine, Swan, have it your way. Besides it's not like Edward would even want anyone like you anyways," she gaffed at the thought as I tried to not let myself think how that is probably true. "Look at you," she said motioning to my outfit. "If wasn't for Alice you would just still be plain Bella. And I'm sure Edward would want something more eye pleasing."
"Jessica just shut up," Edward spoke in a firm voice as he stood. "You have no idea what you're talking about because Bella is much more than plain. If you were lucky you might become half the amazing woman she is now, though I find that quite impossible since Bella gets more amazing each day. And further more I'd rather have someone plain than someone with too much make up and a voice that should be silenced because of the pain it causes everyone ears. So I would be very grateful if you would move so Bella can sit beside me."
When Edward got done calmly saying his little speech Jessica's face was red by the end of it. I'm not sure if it was from the embarrassment or the anger or maybe a combination of both. But no matter what I couldn't help the happy dance that was bubbling inside of me wanting to be released. It even consisted of sticking my tongue out at Jessica, which I know is childish, but who would really blame me for doing that to her.
Finally after a moment Jessica burst into a scream making Edward and I jump. She grabbed her things and stopped off out of the classroom with Lauren close behind calling after her probably to calm her down. Though I was sure Edward and I were deaf, being able to hear the class laugh at Jessica's reaction contradicted that thought.
After Mr. Banner came in he calmed the class down and had us take our seats as he started to pull a T.V. into the room. Everyone adjusted how they were sitting to get ready to jus watch a movie and probably take a little nap during it.
Once the lights were off and the educational film started I leaned towards Edward a bit. "I'm sorry about what just happened. And you didn't have to lie to Jessica about me," I whispered.
"Lie to her about what?" he asked me confused.
"About what you think of me, I know I'm nothing special and I'm ok with that."
"But none of it was a lie, Bella." I snorted quietly in response in disbelief. When I did I saw his green eyes soften as he placed a hand over mine. "I never lie and I would especially never lie to you."
I just nodded in response because I honestly couldn't think when he touched me. Even an innocent touch like he was doing, sent my mind reeling and my heart speeding off trying to break through my chest.
I was about to turn my attention back to the screen when his soft liquid voice filled my ears once again. "Bella, would you please come with me after school? I want to take you somewhere."
"Yes," I responded quietly. And I felt my heart jump when that perfect crooked smile lit up his face. And I couldn't help but smile back knowing that my acceptance was the reason he was smiling.
Like it? Hate it? Eh it? Let me know how you feel. And I hope the litte arguement between Bella and Jesscia wasn't a epic fail. A fail is ok just not a epic one lol.
Did anyone else watch the black carpet event for Eclipse? I caught most of it and I liked it. Though I didn't are for SM's dress. And I wish they talked to Kellan more. I think I fell even more in love with Jackson...if that's even possible :).
And though I am not in it, you should go to thefandomgivesback (dot) com and make a account and bid, because it's all for a good cause. If you ask why I'm not part of it, it's because I don't think anyone would bid on anything I would put up and then I would get sad and think no one like my stories and then any other stories I write would just stay on my computer and never be shared. So yeah...but go check it out they have some cool things you can get.
That's all for now, but before you leave you better click that button below to review.
