A.N. Hey guys, I just wanted to first apologize for the long wait in between chapters. I've had a lot going on and it's prevented me from being able to write. Don't worry, I haven't abandon this story at all. I'm really caught up in this story, so I have quite a few chapters to go before it will be done. If there's something you would like to see happen or if you have any suggestions, please feel free to write me and let me know. I'm open to all suggestions and I love answering questions.
Oh and one last thing, for all of you who reviewed...YOU ROCK!!! Thank you so much to those who put my story on alert and added it to your favorites...You're Truly Awesome.
Okay, so here goes Chpt. 4...
I woke up to my Ihome playing "Good Morning" by John Legend. That's the song I have set to play when my alarm goes off.
I was jolted awake only an hour before by a dream I was having about Jasper, Edward, Alice, and I. I couldn't understand why I had that dream in the first place, but also to feel the type of feelings I was feeling when I was with Edward in the dream…it felt so real and wonderful! It's like I had no worries, that everything was all right in the world, that anything was possible, because I had found my true love, my true soul mate. I had found my happy ending!
It was just a dream Bella, I kept telling myself. It wasn't foresight into the future or anything like what Alice supposedly says she can do, but it did feel real to me.
I have too much going on today for me to dwell on my dreams. With that out of the way, I got up and went to handle my business in the bathroom.
Thirty minutes later, I was showered, with fresh breath, and fully dressed. (A.N. All main character outfits will be on my profile) I was just finishing up my hair when James knocked at my door.
I went and opened my door and said, "hey, what's up?"
"I just wanted to check with you to see if you wanted to catch a ride with me to school or if you had your own thing going on today," he said.
"Oh, I'm going to drive myself today. I have to get together with Angela so we can put together a schedule for soccer tryouts. You know with me being captain and all this year, I want to be sure that we pick the best girls for the team so we can have a shot at finals this year," I told him.
"That's cool Bells! I will see you at school. Be careful, it's a bit wet out there today," he warned me.
"Thanks bro, catch you later."
I checked myself in the mirror, grabbed my coat, my purse (stopping to make sure my phone and Ipod was inside), and school bag, and I went down to have some breakfast.
My mom and dad were already gone to work. My mom had stopped in my room last night to check on me. I felt her kiss my cheek and tell me she loved me. It seems like forever since I've seen her or my father.
I'm glad that they have some friends to spend their time with. For the longest, they never seemed to go out and do anything social. That all has changed since the Cullens have been in town.
I still have yet to meet Mr. & Mrs. Cullen, but I'm sure it won't be long before I do. I'm sure that they are just as beautiful as their sons and daughter. It has to be a sin for them all to be so good looking.
I'm not jealous at all. It's not in my nature to envy other people, I believe we all have our strengths and weakness. They're not perfect, they're just as flawed as the rest of us, but beautiful just the same.
By this time, I've finished my bowl of cereal and was sure to wash out my bowl and spoon. I grabbed a Dasani out of the fridge and headed out to my car. I have 35 minutes before I need to be at school, but I wanted to get there early to get a decent parking space.
When I arrived at the school, there was a fair amount of people already there, walking around campus. I parked off to the side, far enough away from the entrance to the lot. I have this weird fear that someone is going to come speeding into the parking lot one-day and ram into me. So to be safe, I just choose to park on the furthest side of the lot.
I made sure I had everything and then I exited my car. I hadn't seen anyone I knew so far, but I did notice that James car was here.
I made my way over to where the staff had set up tables and would be handing out class schedules. There were three tables to be exact and the students were to line up in front of the tables according to what their last name started with.
Of course I would be at table three, along with James, since our last name started with an "S".
Table one was set up for student last names A-I, table two had last names J-Q, and table three had the remaining letters of the alphabet, R-Z.
Jasper, Rose, Edward, and Alice would all be at table one.
There were lines already forming in front of the tables. I moved over to table three and settled in behind a group of students that were already lined up there.
Just as I was about to grab my Ipod out of my purse and listen to some tunes, I heard my name being called.
I noticed that the voice wasn't that far away and was coming from the front of my line. It was Angela. She was in the front of the line, with my brother.
I stepped out of my spot and moved up to the front. I forgot that Ang would be in my line, since her last name is Weber.
"Hey Bella, you ready for today," she asked me.
"As ready as can be. I'm really looking forward to us putting together the schedule for tryouts this afternoon. I can't wait for the soccer season to start! We're definitely going all the way this time," I told her.
While I chatted with Angela and my brother, more and more students began arriving at school. I didn't even realize that the staff, who would be handing out our schedules, had begun setting up at the tables.
While Ang and I were laughing about something or another, my brother warned me that Mike Newton was on his way over.
"Aye Bella, you looking hot as always," he said trying to be flirtatious.
"Thanks," I said, not wanting to encourage him any further.
Of course, he doesn't know when to quit so he went on with his bullshit lines.
"So Bella, when are you going to leave Whitlock alone and let me show you how a real man treats his lady?"
Before I could answer, I felt a pair of strong, yet familiar, arms embrace me from behind. Of course I knew who the magnificent being was who was holding me so intimately close was, none other than the very same Jasper Whitlock that Mike was just referring to.
I could see fear in Mike eyes when Jasper put his arms around me. He knew that Jasper had heard his comment and wasn't going to let it go. Jasper is very protective of me and doesn't like it when other guys try hitting on me.
Mike was looking around trying to find the best escape route. He talk like he's big and bad, but is known to be a coward!
I guess he saw that there was no way out of the situation, so instead he settled on trying to talk his way out of the mess his mouth got him in.
"Oh hey there Jasper, man…I was just kidding around with Bella. Everybody know that she's your girl and not to mess with her. I was just ruffling her feathers, that's all," he said nervously.
Jasper chuckled and then said, "no worries man. I know that my Bella is irresistible and she's all mine."
With that being said, Jasper turned me in his arms and kissed me with such love and passion, that I felt my knees weaken. By the time he let me up for air, I felt like I was in an alternate universe. The boy has got some mad skills, that's for sure!
"Good morning, my Bella," he said to me with a quick kiss on the tip of my nose.
"Good morning to you too sweetheart," I cooed.
"Did you sleep well last night," he asked.
"Not as well as I'd like, but I'll survive," I told him.
"You look so beautiful today darlin. As always, of course," he complimented.
Without fail, my cheeks reddened at his words.
"Thanks Jazz, you always know what to say to make me smile."
Just then, I saw Alice and Edward making come up behind Jasper. Alice look jubilant as ever and Edward was his same suave self.
"Hey guys," I said in greeting to them.
"Hey Bella and Jasper," Alice said happily.
Edward gave Jasper a head nod and said hello to me, holding my gaze longer than "friends" should.
Just seeing him standing there in all his magnificent glory was making my mouth pool with saliva. The boy has got it going on and I would definitely be interested in him if I wasn't with my Jazz.
I looked to Jazz, who was talking to my brother (I had completely forgot him and Angela were standing in front of me). It hit me then that Rose didn't come over when Jasper did. I began looking around for her and saw her standing in her line, talking to Emmett.
She was smiling and laughing at whatever he was saying to her. It was at that moment, that I notice a glow about her. I've never seen that type of aura come off of her before and I wonder if the eldest Cullen son had something to do with that.
I'm sure Rose isn't looking to be in a relationship anytime too soon. Seeing as how she and my brother just broke up last night. One would think she was on a rebound if she jumped right into another relationship without giving herself time to get over one relationship, before moving on to another.
If I'm being honest with myself, I've actually never seen James and Rose being together forever. Yes they seemed like a happy couple, but they really didn't appear to be "in love".
I just hope they remain good friends and not have harsh feelings towards one another, because I cherish my friendship with Rose very much. Of course I would never turn my back on my brother, but Rose is like the sister I've never had. She's been there for me through so much. I could never see her not being in my life.
I'm sure I have nothing to worry about. Rose has told me countless times that our friendship means just as much to her, as it does to me.
"So Bella, I was thinking that you should come over for a sleep over this weekend. We can have a movie night and maybe even hit up a club or something. Please say yes," Alice said.
I hadn't realized she was talking to me at first, last I saw, she was chatting with Ang and Edward. It wasn't until I noticed her looking directly at me, that I was certain she was directing her question to me.
All I caught was, this weekend, movie night, and hitting up a club. I kind of put two and two together and figured she wanted me to come over for a sleepover or something this weekend.
So I answered her, "sure Ali, that sounds cool."
"Great Bella, Angie said she'll come too."
I looked over at Ang and saw her smiling like the Joker and thought that it was kind of amusing. Angela never takes to people that quickly. She's so shy that it takes her awhile to come out of her shell. It made me feel happy to know that she was opening up more.
"Sounds like fun Ali. What club were you thinking about hitting up," I asked her.
"Umm, probably "Eclipse" or the new one that opened, "The Coven". I hear they're both great, but my mom is part owner of "The Coven", so we can get in with no waiting in line. I can even get us VIP passes so we can have a private booth."
"Oh my God Ali, how cool. We're definitely going there then," I told her.
"What's the dress code for that club Alice," Angela asked.
Instead of Alice answering, Edward spoke up then, "It's after five attire only."
"Don't worry Bella, we're going shopping on Friday after school, so you and Angela can get an outfit to wear," Alice chimed in.
Angela and I both looked at each other, with a nervous look. For some strange reason, I felt like Alice could probably live in the mall if she had a say in the matter.
I just brushed it off and told her, Jazz, and Edward that they should get over to their line because the staff was ready to hand out the schedules.
By now, I believe the entire student body had arrived and was lined up waiting to receive their new schedules.
With a quick kiss from Jasper, and wave from Alice and Edward, they went off to line up with Rose and Emmett.
There were three people in front of James, Angela, and I. In no time I had my schedule in hand and was moving out of the way of the table. After James got his schedule, he said a quick goodbye to Ang and me, and went off to his first period.
Ang and I have four classes.
The others, minus Emmett, made their way over to us and we compared schedules. I have the same exact schedule as Edward. Alice and Rose are in three of Edward and my classes, while Jasper only has two classes with us.
We all have 4th period lunch together, since we're juniors. Freshmen and Sophomores eat lunch during 3rd period, and Junior and Seniors have lunch together during 4th period.
My schedule is as follows:
1st Period ~ AP Calculus (w/Edward, Ang, Alice, Rose & Jasper)
2nd Period ~ AP English (w/Edward, Ang, Alice, Rose, & Jasper)
3rd Period ~ French (w/Edward, Alice, & Rose)
4th Period ~ Lunch (w/everyone)
5th Period ~ AP Biology (w/Edward, and Ang)
6th Period ~ PE (w/ Edward and Ang)
This ought to be an interesting year. I can't believe I have every class with Edward. It's like the God's are purposely trying to force us to be together or something.
So we all headed in the main building to our assigned lockers. They gave us our locker number and combination, when we received our schedule.
Since we have a small student body, here at Forks High, we're lucky enough for each student to have his/her own locker.
I went to my locker and put away my overcoat. I knew I would need to come back to my locker later to put away my books, since we'll be receiving them throughout the day in classes.
My school bag isn't equipped to carry a large amount of books at one time. I'll have to be sure to start carrying my backpack if I intend to carry all my books around at once.
The warning bell sounded, letting us know that we had seven minutes until the tardy bell would sound.
The first day of school is the only time we're given seven minutes to get to class. The staff wants the students to find a route that will get them from class to class in a timely manner. That's why the seven-minute rule was implemented for the first day.
We made it to 1st Period with three minutes to spare. There's only twenty students allotted to a class, so the desks are divided rows of four, with five desks to a row.
I went to the last seat in the third row, with Jasper on my left side, Rose in front of Jazz, Ang in front of me, Edward to my right side, and Ali in front of him.
It felt weird having my boyfriend and the boy of my dreams, literally, on either side of me.
A few seconds later, our teacher came in and wrote his name on the dry erase board. It read, Mr. Brandon.
He walked over to the door and closed it, bringing everyone's attention to the forefront. This was followed by attendance.
Once everyone was accounted for, class begun.
"Hello everyone, my name is Mr. Brandon, and I will be your Calculus teacher for this school year. I'm going to hand out the course syllabus, along with your textbooks. We will go over the syllabus and then I'm going to give you a quiz on basic mathematical skills you should know, just so I can make sure you're capable of completing the workload this class calls for. Are there any questions?"
Alice raised her hand to ask a question.
"Yes miss…"
"Cullen. Alice Cullen. I just wanted to know what happens if you fail the quiz."
"Good question Miss Cullen. Well, considering this is really basic stuff on the quiz, I would hope that no one fails it. In the event that someone does, they will be put on probation, assigned a tutor, and given four weeks to successfully pass another quiz specifically geared towards them."
"If they do not successfully pass that quiz, they will be dropped from this class."
"Thank you," Alice said, rather flatly.
I guess Mr. Brandon didn't catch on to Ali's tone of voice, or either he just didn't really care, because he moved right along with class. Handing out the syllabus and textbooks we would need.
We went over the syllabus and then he gave us the quiz. It really was basic stuff and I felt like I did a really good job. Soon after he collected the quizzes from the class, the bell rang ending first period.
I asked everyone how they think they did on the quiz, and everyone felt like they did pretty well.
So as we were walking to 2nd period, Jasper grabs my hand and pulls me close. He puts his arm across the back of my shoulders, leaning in to whisper in my ear.
"How would you like to come over on Wednesday after school? I would like to spend some time with you, plus I want to cook you dinner. My parents are going to be out for the evening, and Rose has her hair appointment and spa treatment. We can do our homework together and then just spend some time together. How does that sound?"
"That will be really nice Jazz. You do know that you don't have to cook me dinner just for me to come over and spend time with you, right? I enjoy any time that I can spend with you," I told him.
He dropped his arm from my shoulders to hold my hand and I saw an unreadable expression on both Alice and Edward's face. I'm not sure what that was about, but I didn't say anything to them about it. I figured they would tell me, if they wanted me to know.
We made it to English and grouped close together again. This time Edward set next to me, with Jasper in front of me. There was a student already on the left side of my desk, so Jazz couldn't sit next to me. If Edward hadn't made it to the seat on my right first, Jazz would be sitting there instead.
I got the feeling that Edward was happy with this seating arrangement. He even had a smug look on his face when I glanced over at him.
Whatever, I wasn't going to let Edward get under my skin, I don't have time to play his games. With Jazz in front of me, I could run my fingers through his hair, or rub his shoulders. I'm sure that would make Mr. Smug face Cullen, not so happy.
2nd period went by quickly, as did 3rd. It was now 4th period and I was walking into the lunchroom with Jasper and Ang. Edward had to make a quick stop at his locker and told me he'd catch up to me inside.
Alice and Rose were already seated at a table close to the back of the lunchroom, near the doors leading to the outside picnic area.
We went over and sat down at the table. Angela's boyfriend, Ben, also joined us. I noticed Rose was staring off over towards the table where the jocks sit. That's where my brother usually sits at lunchtime. I glanced over there and sure enough, there he was sitting, chatting up with a couple of guys from his baseball team. Emmett was over there too.
I'm not sure if it was James or Emmett Rose was staring at, but she had a faraway look about her. She must of felt my eyes on her, because she turned her face away from their table and looked at me with a smile.
Before I could say anything she asked me a question.
"So Bella, how are you enjoying the 1st day?"
Knowing that she didn't want me to question her about who she was staring at and purposely drawing the attention on me, and away from her, I decided to go along with it.
"It's not so bad. I've definitely had worst," I told her.
"What about you? Is everything going good for you today?" I know that she knew I was asking about more than just her classes.
"Better than expected," she replied.
I believed her too, when she said it.
Nothing exciting happened at lunch, or in 5th and 6th period.
Alice or Edward never said anything to me about why they were looking weird earlier, on our way to 2nd period, so I figured that it was something shared between the two of them.
Alice and Rose told Ang and I that they were going to try out for soccer this year. That made my day!
Alice also asked Rose to come over for the sleepover at her house this weekend. Rose accepted.
After PE, I walked to my locker to put away my things so I could meet Ang in the library. That's where we're meeting to put together the schedule for soccer tryouts.
I was met at my locker by Jazz, with Alice, Rose, and Edward waiting off in the background.
"Hey baby, are you sure you don't want me to stay and wait with you while you having your meeting with Ang? It really wouldn't be a problem for me to do so," he told me.
"No Jazz, I'll be fine. After I'm done here, I'm going straight home to do my homework for Calculus and English. I'll call you as soon as I'm done. I promise."
"Okay, as long as you're sure. I just wanted to offer. You be sure to call me as soon as you're home so I can know you made it. I won't keep you long, since you have homework to do. It'll just make me rest easier."
"Jasper if you don't hurry up, I'm going to leave you here, and then you'll have to have Bella bring you home," Rose told him.
I laughed knowing that what she said was true. She wouldn't hesitate to leave him, or anyone for that matter. If you're riding with Rose and she's ready to go, you better be right on her heels or you'd be left behind.
"Go on Jazz, get out of here before Rose leaves you. You know she will too. I don't want you to have to be stranded waiting for me," I told him sweetly.
"Don't worry Bella, he wouldn't have to be stranded, I would be sure that he made it home safely," Alice said with a wink at Jasper.
Jasper and I both looked at her in disbelief. Rose wasn't paying attention to what she said, and Edward had that sexy smirk on his face that I've seen one too many times.
"Alice, don't make me have to kick your ass for flirting with my man," I said to her jokingly (or was I).
She laughed, but it sounded a little sinister, almost as if she was mocking me.
"Don't worry Bella, you're the only woman for me, so let her flirt if she wants. It's not going to go anywhere," Jasper assured me.
The smile dropped from Alice face and a pained expression replaced it. Edward's expression also changed to a slight scowl.
What the fuck is going on, I thought to myself. Alice and Edward's mood swings are giving me fucking whiplash!
I didn't have a chance to call them on it, because Jasper leaned down and kissed me on the mouth. He ran his tongue along my lips and requested entry into my mouth. I obliged.
We kissed for about a minute and then he broke away and said to be sure to call him when I got home. With that, he turned and walked over to his sister and she said bye to me and they walked towards the doors.
Alice was her jovial self again, because she danced over to me and hugged me and said she was sorry if she overstepped her boundaries. She assured me it wouldn't happen again.
Edward spoke up and said he'd see me tomorrow and walked off in the same direction Jasper and Rose had went in, moments ago. Alice followed behind him, after I told her we were cool and that I'd see her at school tomorrow.
I can't get a handle on Alice and Edward. Since I've met them, our friendship has been one big roller coaster ride. I'm going to have to say something to them if this keeps up, because I don't have the patience for all that back and forth "BS"!
I quickly made my way to the library where Angela was waiting for me. I apologized for taking too long and we got right down to business.
I pulled out my planner and we looked to see what would be the best time to hold tryouts. We decided that the last Friday in September would be best for both of us and inked in my planner.
Angela said she would make the posters and flyers to post around school.
I told her that I would be sure to announce it over the P.A. when I do the morning announcements.
Edward and I were selected by our English teacher, this morning, to do the morning announcements, because she said that we have such excellent speaking voices. Whatever that means.
Angela and I talked about some other things, like her and Ben, Jazz and I, the Cullens, and the new school year.
Come to find out, Ang and Ben had finally had sex this past summer. Both of them were virgins and wasn't sure if they wanted to wait until marriage or try it before then. She said that the attraction to sex became too much and they felt the need to express their love to one another, by making love.
I'm so happy for them, they fit so perfectly together. I have no doubts that they'll be together forever.
Once look at the clock on the library wall, ended all conversation. I told Ang that I needed to get home to do my homework and help with dinner.
She said she had homework too. So we walked to our lockers and retrieved our schoolbags and other necessities, and then we walked to the parking lot.
We hugged one another and got in our prospective cars and drove off.
I was home within 15 minutes. As soon as I pulled in the driveway, the front door to my house opened.
My mom stepped out and met me halfway to the door.
"Bella, you had me worried. Why didn't you call and let me know you were going to be this late? I was about ready to call the school and have them check to see if you were still there. You didn't answer your cell when I called you, so I became frantic. What do you have to say for yourself young lady," she asked.
"Mom, I'm really sorry. I put my phone on silent before I went into the library so I wouldn't disturb anyone and I forgot to put it back to normal after I left. When I notice that it was getting late, Ang and I just bolted from the library and I rushed home."
"I didn't mean to make you worry mom. I promise it won't happen again, okay."
"Okay Bells. So come on in so you can tell me about your first day."
"Sure thing, but I just need to make one quick phone call."
I called Jazz to let him know I was home and that I was going to do my homework and eat dinner, but that I would call him as soon as I was done and talk to him until we both were ready to go to sleep.
After I hung up the phone with him, I went into the kitchen where my mom was at preparing dinner.
I told her about my 1st day and she told me all about her and dad's outing with Mr. and Mrs. Cullen on yesterday.
We spoke for a few more minutes and then I excused myself to my room to complete my homework.
I had just finished it when James knocked on the door saying that dinner was ready and mom said for me to come down and eat.
I put away my schoolbooks, went and washed up for dinner and then made my way to the dining room.
I said hi to my dad and then took my usual spot next to my mom.
My mom had prepared baked chicken, with mashed potatoes and peas for dinner. It was delicious.
James and I cleared away the dishes and loaded them up in the dishwasher. We sat down in the family room and watched the evening news with our parents, while having a little small talk.
At around 7pm, I said goodnight to everyone and went up to my room. I got my school clothes ready for the next day and went to take a shower.
After taking a nice hot shower, I slipped into my pink gingham lounge pants and a white v-neck T-shirt. I got comfortable under my covers, sitting back against my mound of pillows and grabbed my cell phone to call Jazz.
However, my cell was about to die, so I plugged it up to charge. I used the house phone instead to call him. He answered on the second ring.
"Hi beautiful! I was beginning to think you had forgotten about me," he said into the phone.
"I could never forget about you Jazz, how could you even think that," I asked.
"I know you wouldn't on purpose, I guess I was just restless and eager to hear your voice. That's all my love."
"You always say the right words to make my heart beat faster. I love you Jazz, you know that don't you?"
"I sure do love, I'm the luckiest guy on earth to have you in my life and to know that you love me unconditionally. I love you too, just as much!"
"We sound like a couple of love struck teenagers, don't you think?"
"We are a couple of love struck teenagers, so yes, I agree with you whole heartedly."
"I guess you are right. So, how did you like your first day back at good old Forks High?"
"It wasn't so bad. I wish we would have more classes together, but all in all, it was a great first day. How about you? Did you and Angela get your soccer schedule together?
"First day back for me was cool. I was disappointed when I saw that we didn't have but two classes together, I was hoping for much more than that."
"Yeah well, I'm happy to have you in two classes than to have you in none of my classes," Jasper said.
"Did you get all of your homework done? I still can't believe that we actually got homework on the first day," I told Jazz.
"I did all of my homework in study hall. I wasn't surprised at all that we were given so much homework. They're going to be working us much harder this year, since we're juniors and all."
"That's so unfair that you have study hall. I would so have all my homework done too if I had that class. Then I could have my afternoons free after school."
"Speaking of free afternoons, Jazz, what are you planning on cooking me for dinner on Wednesday? I'm really looking forward to spending time alone with you. We haven't had much alone time in quite some time."
"You're right Bella, it has been way to long since we've spent any time alone together. As for the dinner menu on Wednesday, I want it to be a surprise…plus I haven't finalized my choice yet."
"Well I'm sure whatever you prepare will taste wonderful," I told him.
"Bella, do you have any plans after school tomorrow?"
"No, I don't have any plans tomorrow. Why you ask?"
"I want to pick you up in the morning, so you can ride to and from school with me. I didn't want to mess up your plans if you had made some for after school, that's why I asked."
"I'd love to ride with you tomorrow. That would be nice."
"Great! Well darlin, I'm going to let you go so you can get some rest. I want you to be well rested for school. I love you Bella," he told me so sweetly.
"It is getting kind of late, I think I will go right to sleep now that I have heard your voice. I love you too Jazz."
"Goodnight my beautiful Bella."
"Goodnight my sexy Jasper."
I hung up the phone, turned off my lamp and lay back against my pillows, looking up at my ceiling. The moonlight was shining in through my bedroom window, lighting it up like a night light.
I lost myself in my thoughts. I was a very lucky girl. I had wonderful parents, who love me unconditionally. My brother is the best brother I could ask for. I have a great group of friends, even if I believe one of them is secretly trying to move in on my boyfriend, while her brother may be trying to move in on me. Then, I have Jasper. He is nothing short of the best boyfriend a girl could ask for. Yes indeed, I'm truly lucky, I thought to myself…as I drift off into oblivion.
When I opened up my eyes and looked over towards my clock, I saw that it was 5 minutes to the time my alarm would be going off. I felt well rested. I didn't dream a wink last night, which is something I don't do too often.
I got out of the bed and turned the alarm off, before it could go off. I made my bed and went to take a shower.
Thirty minutes later, I was in the kitchen sitting at the table having breakfast with James and my mom. She didn't have to go in until later today, so she made breakfast for my brother and I.
I'm usually not a big breakfast eater, except for on the weekends. Today was different, I was really hungry. I ate three big pancakes, four bacon strips, and a good helping of scrambled eggs.
James and my mother stared at me like I had two heads of something.
"What? I'm hungry okay," I said to them both.
They bust out laughing and went back to eating their own breakfast.
I was so focused on eating my breakfast that I didn't participate in their conversation. After a minute or two, the doorbell rang. I knew it had to be Jasper, so I finished up and then washed out my dishes.
My mom went to answer the door and a few moments later, her and Jazz walked into the kitchen talking.
When Jazz spotted me, a big grin formed on his face. "Good morning beautiful," he said in greeting.
"Hi Jazz. You sleep well," I asked him.
"Most definitely the best night of sleep ever," he replied.
A smile grew on my face at his words. I knew that we both felt a sense of contentment after our conversation last night. It wasn't surprising to hear him say that he had a good night of rest, because I definitely had one of the best nights of sleep myself.
"Well if you're ready to go, we can," I told him.
"Okay sure. I'm ready."
"It was nice seeing you Mrs. Swan. Have a great day," he said to my mom.
"Bye mom. Thanks for breakfast. See you later," I told her, while giving her a hug and kiss.
"Where did James go," I asked her. Just now noticing that he was nowhere to be found.
"Oh, he slipped out when I went to answer the door. He mentioned something about meeting up with Emmett Cullen," my mom replied.
"Oh," I said.
I gave her one last kiss on the cheek and then Jazz and I walked out into the brisk cool weather. He drove the truck today, as I assumed he would, because he knows how much I love it. He opened my door for me and then shut it behind me after I settled myself in the passenger seat. He's always a gentleman.
After settling himself into the driver's seat and starting the car, he pulled out onto the road and began our short drive to school. We talked about random things throughout the car ride. Before long, we were pulling into a parking spot, in the school's parking lot.
We had twenty minutes left until the bell would ring, so we took a few moments to make out. Anytime without having Jazz's lips on mine, is much too long.
We sat in the truck, French kissing. Not caring who was around to observe us. All we were doing was kissing, so it wasn't like it was something people don't see everyday.
We were jarred apart by a persistent knocking on the driver side window. I peered over Jazz's shoulder to see Fairy Pixie and Mr. Hotness standing outside the door.
"Could you two maybe suck face behind closed doors, that's not in a public parking lot? Just because your side windows are tinted Jasper, does not mean that you can't be seen through the front windows. Come on Bella, get out of there. I need your advice about something," Alice said with determination.
Accepting defeat from our moment of peace, Jazz and I gathered our things and exited his SUV.
"Your timing couldn't have been more impeccable," I told her with sarcasm.
"Bella, in your short time of knowing Alice, you must know that she can be a little pest at times," Edward said to me.
Jazz and I laughed at his statement, because it was very much true. Alice was shooting daggers at Edward with her eyes.
"Nobody was talking to you Eddie," she said while grabbing my arm and dragging me away towards the school.
I mouth I loved you to Jasper and waved bye to him and Edward, noticing that Edward had a sour look on his face. He looked like he wanted to say something to his sister, but decided to keep it to himself instead.
"So Ali, what did you need my advice about," I asked her once we got closer to school and she had let my arm go.
"Well, I talked to my parents last night and they cleared us to have a sleepover this weekend. So you're going to follow me home on Friday after school. We're going to the club on Friday night and then Saturday we're going to go have some fun," she replied.
I nodded my head, waiting for her to get to the point where she needed my advice.
"I want to do a pajama jam for all of us girls on Saturday night. I have pics of some PJ's that I thought would be cute for us four to wear. That's where your advice comes in."
"Awww, Ali, why can't it just be a simple sleepover where we wear the pajamas we already have? Why do we need to get new ones," I asked her.
"Because Bella, boys are going to be there too!"
"What…what boys? Are you crazy? My parents are not going to let me go to a sleepover where there will be boys invited as well. I can't believe your parents are okay with that! Ali, Jasper is not going to be okay with that either, so I'm going to have to decline your invitation," I told her.
"Bella, don't be absurd. You will be coming to the party, because the boys that I mention are my brothers, Jasper, and Ben. Edward and Emmett decided to have some guys over so they wouldn't be in the house all weekend with a bunch of girls. Edward has become good friends with Ben and Jasper, so of course he'd naturally invite them. Emmett was going to invite your brother, but with Rose being here and all, he thought it may make her uncomfortable," she stated.
Wow, I didn't even realize that Emmett and my brother had become close. Where have I been? It's only been a few days since they've arrived and already it seems as if the Cullens have been in our lives much longer.
"Ali, do your parents know that Jasper and I, as well as Angela and Ben, are dating?
"I'm not sure, I didn't mention it to them. Not because I was trying to keep it from them, but because I didn't know until later on last night that my brothers were even considering inviting the guys over too. Don't worry though, my parents won't mind, because you guys are not sleeping in the same room together."
"How about you show me the pictures at lunch Ali, because we really need to get to class before we're late."
We made it to class on time and took our seats. While I was chatting with Rose and Angela, Mr. Brandon walked into the class as the last bell was ringing. All conversation ended when Mr. Brandon began roll call. After roll call, Mr. Brandon walked to the front of the class and stood there looking over the class, with an unreadable expression on his face.
"Class," he began.
"I have an announcement to make. I wasn't expecting this to be the case, but I must say, I'm surprised," he told us all.
His face wasn't giving away anything, so I couldn't tell if this was a good or bad surprise. From the confused expressions on my classmate's faces, I don't think they had a clue either. Mr. Brandon definitely had our undivided attention.
Okay, so tell me what you thought about Chpt. 4. I really do go off your feedback, so it helps to know what you thought was good, what you thought was bad, if I missed something, or if something seems out of place and whatnot. Like I said before, this is my first time ever writing anything like this, so please bare that in mind. Also, I do not have a Beat for this story, so my writing may not be perfect, but I really do try to catch all errors before submitting. However, things may slip through the cracks. I have Chpt. 5 ready to go, all I need is a good amount of reviews before I'll post it. Thanks guys, you're the best!
