Wow! You guys are awesome. Keep the reviews coming. Thanks lyxa! Btw I am changing the story so they are seniors. They have to be for my ending to work. Happy reading!
Bella POV
Today was Wednesday. This week felt like it was taking forever! I just wanted this week to be over and done with so I could finally go on my date with Jacob.
Thinking of Jacob made my heart flutter in both eagerness and nervousness. I wanted to see his gorgeous smile and his super hot body.
I blushed at the thought.
I was also nervous because I was scared to see his reaction to my new look. I hoped he liked it. Alice assured me he would because – according to her - my new hair and make up enhanced my facial features. However, I wasn't sure if her opinion was to be trusted; I got the feeling that she was talking more about Edward than Jacob.
I grabbed my bag out of my ancient truck and nervously walked towards the school where I knew Jacob was waiting.
To calm my nerves I looked around the school parking lot. I saw Mike Newton trying to escape getting his muscles felt up by Jessica Stanely and at the panicked expression on his face. I saw Angela blush as Ben Cheney shyly flirted with her. I wished them the best, they deserved each other. I looked to the left and saw Lauren Mallory chomp on her gum and roll her eyes at Tyler Crowely who was probably telling her another story about himself.
What bothered me was that when I would pass them, every single person would immediately stop what they were doing and look at me in shock. That certainly didn't help with the anxiety. When I passed Edward he was trying to escape the grimy claws of Tanya with a look of disgust on his face, which quickly turned to awe and lust as he saw me. Well; Alice was right about him.
I flushed even darker and walked more quickly to the front doors of the school. When I was inside, more heads turned. All those familiar faces who never once took more than one look at me, were now staring at me in amazement. I continued to look into the crowd and saw Alice giving me a told- you-so smirk and an excited Rosalie next to my locker.
I shook my head and walked toward them.
Once I approached, Alice jumped at least a foot high and clapped her hands so fast that they were a blur. She then threw her arms around my neck, still bouncing up and down.
"Alice, settle down!" I said slightly annoyed because of all the attention I was getting.
To my relief, she listened and stopped jumping. She let go of my neck but kept the wide grin remained plastered on her face.
"See Bella? I told ya!" Her grin turned smug.
I smiled and rolled my eyes.
"Yes oh honorable and wise Alice. You were most definitely right and I am forever in your debt for doubting you and your kindness," I said, my voice thick with sarcasm.
She rolled her eyes.
"Whatever Bella. I just know Edward will like it."
"Who cares if Edward likes it?" I snapped. I really didn't mean to be so harsh with her but I was getting sick and tired of this Edward crap!
She pouted for a second and Rosalie glared at me.
I sighed and instantly regretted what I said, "I'm sorry Alice. I truly do appreciate what you did for me, but I just don't want to hear about him right now. I did this because I want to be with Jacob."
She huffed but nodded.
I gave her a small smile but then looked over her head, which because of her height, was easy to do.
Right behind her was Jacob looking at me with wide eyes and mouth agape. My insides started fluttering all over again. I could tell by the look on his face that he liked the "new me".
"Well guys. I'll see you later." And without another word I walked past them and towards Jacob.
When I reached him I shyly said," Hi Jacob."
"Wow Bella," His voice sounded breathy with astonishment. "I thought you looked amazing before but now," He looked me up and down," you look breath taking."
I blushed to a darker shade of red. "T-thank you."
"You're welcome. I feel like the luckiest guy in the world right now," He paused and looked behind me," Well, almost the luckiest."
I turned my upper body around to what he we staring at and Edward having what looked like a heated conversation with Alice and Rosalie. What was his problem? I spun back around.
"Don't worry," I said trying to reassure his sombre face."Don't worry, he's not my boyfriend. I just got dragged/forced to go on a couple of dates with him."
A big grin came to his face. "Good." He came to my rugby side and put his muscled arm around my waist. "Shall I walk my lady to class?"
I nodded eagerly with a huge smile on my face and said," You shall."
"Oh wait!" Jacob said before we could start walking. "I've got something for you.
Edward's POV
As soon as I got out of my car on the cloudy Wednesday morning, Tanya immediately attacked me. She slammed into me with such force that I actually stumbled back a couple of steps.
"Oh Eddie!" She cooed grabbing my face and kissing me all over. "I missed you so much!"
"Tanya get off!" I tried to shove her off me, which wasn't easy since she was still firmly holding my face in her claws.
She pouted.
"What's wrong Eddie?"
I took a deep breath and willed myself not to slap her silly.
"Listen carefully... We are NOT together. I kissed you that day on a dare," I lied
She laughed.
"Oh Eddie. Always the jokester."
STOP FUCKING CALLING ME THAT!!! I wanted to shout at her, but then she would start calling me Edward... and that would be worse.
She wrapped her arms around me and started kissing me again.
"Get OFF!" I shoved her again and this time I got her away from me.
Once I got her away I looked up, looking for Bella. And what I saw blew my breath away. She looked absolutely stunning! Her hair was slightly wavy and the simple clothes accentuated her curves, which made her look absolutely delicious.
She was so beautiful, so angelic, so... not Bella.
I internally growled. Alice.
--
When I entered Forks High, I saw Bella talking to Alice and Rosalie. But as soon as she saw Jacob behind them, she left to go talk to him. This gave me the perfect opportunity to chew Alice out. I quickly walked up to her. When she saw me her eyes were bright but then quickly turned concerned when she saw my angry expression.
"What the hell Alice?" I yelled as soon as I reached her.
"What has your panties in a twist?" She asked matching my tone.
"What the hell did you do with Bella?"
She looked at me with a confused and hurt expression."What? Do don't like her new look?"
I sighed and looked at Rosalie.
"Can you leave us alone please?"
"Is it about Bella?" She asked cocking an eyebrow.
I was surprised by her question."Th-that's none of your business."
Alice and Rosalie rolled their eye simultaneously.
"She knows Edward." Alice said in a bored tone.
"Knows?"
"Yes I know." Rosalie said."And I want to help. I know that she is in love with you too, and I am going to do everything I can to help you get her."
I was shocked to say the least. I personally always thought Rosalie was a bitch. I had no idea why Emmett liked her so much, but right now she was really coming through for me.
"Okay fine," I agreed after I got myself together.
"Anyway," I said turning towards Alice. "I ask again- what the hell did you do to Bella?"
"I am shocked Edward," Alice replied. "I would have thought you out of all people would have loved it."
"It's not Bella. Not at all! Bella's not into all this make up and looking sexy deal. That's one of the many reason why I love her."
Alice put her hand up on her hip.
"Well Edward, I am sorry but this new look gives Bella confidence, and every girl needs confidence in herself. Especially Bella. You I both know that she is very self conscious."
I pouted.
"Jacob is all over her." I looked up and saw all the idiotic male scum ogling her."And so are the stupid guys here."
Alice looked around to and giggled."Well was bound to happen." She said in a "know duh!" voice.
I growled at her.
"Oh calm down Edward!" She lightly slapped my arm. "With all your friends- and especially me- helping you, there is no way she can refuse you.
Screw Jacob Black!"
I sighed.
"Fine. But if she ends up with him, I am blaming you."
She rolled her eyes. "She won't."
"Hey Ed!" I heard behind me. I knew exactly who it was.
I turned around slightly.
"Yeah Emmett."
He was walking up to me with Jasper.
He saw Rosalie and instantly became nervous.
"Hey Rosalie."
Rosalie blushed.
"Hi Emmett."
He nodded towards Alice."Alice," acknowledged her with a nod.
She smiled and waved.
"Hey Alice," Jasper greeted her with a boyish grin."Rosalie."
I rolled my eyes.
"Now that we are all done with greetings; what do you want?"
Emmett became nervous again.
"Can I talk to you with Jazz?"
I knitted my eyebrows. Why was Emmett so nervous? I saw him fiddling with his fingers. I straitened my eyebrows just so I could cock one. This must be serious.
"Yeah sure."
I turned towards Alice and Rosalie.
"I'll talk to you later." Alice rolled her eyes.
I walked away with Emmett and Jasper to a more discreet place near the water fountains. Everyone refused to drink from the school water fountain, claiming you could get MONO just by one sip.
"What's up Man?" I asked.
"Well." He cleared his throat. He seemed uncertain, like he didn't know if he should tell me or not.
"Come on Man," Jasper said. "He won't judge you."
Emmett looked up and I crossed my arms looking at him expecting.
"Well you know that I really like Rosalie. I mean really like her..."
"Yeah... and?"
"Well, I was thinking about doing something for her... to show-er- I mean tell, how much I like her."
"Okay, then do it."
"The problem is, is that I need your guy's help to do it."
I cocked an eyebrow, suddenly unsure.
"What is it?"
"I think we should get the band back together."
I laughed.
"You mean the one we had a ninth grade?"
"Yeah!" He said kind of defensively. "I mean we were really good. I think if we practice enough we can do the song that I want to sing for her."
"You want to sing a song to her?" I asked, a little sceptical.
"Yeah. I mean the one I want to sing to her, the guitar part is really hard, and we do need a bass player and a drummer, but I still think we can do it."
I thought about it while Emmett and Jasper looked at me with their eager faces.
Should we do this? I mean yeah we were really good seeing as we had each taken lessons since we were five. Emmett could play the drums, but he would be too busy singing. And Jasper could play guitar. I couldn't see the harm in doing it.
I shrugged.
"Sure. Why not?"
Emmett gave me a man hug. Quick and simple. And most importantly no one noticed. If someone noticed besides Jasper, then it wouldn't be considered a man hug.
"Thanks man," He said after he let up.
I smiled.
"No problem bro." I patted him on the arm.
Emmett and Jasper's smiles were as big as mine, but they quickly faded when they looked at something behind me.
I quickly turned around to see what they were looking at.
My heart sank at the sight.
Right down the hall was Bella grinning ear to ear from Jacob, putting a bracelet on her.
A friendship bracelet.
