Truth or Dare?
Disclaimer: I own twilight. Nah… just kidding. Ten reviews and I'll update again!
I sped off to my next class and got there right before the bell rang. Lauren and her posy were glaring at me ferociously. What? Move along dimwits.
I was happy though; aside from the fact that I almost kissed Edward, because this was one class I had with Alice, and history was an okay subject. I guess she would always make first period fun, but unfortunately, I didn't sit next to her because this was one of the few classes that we had assigned seats. But luckily, she was seated behind me diagonally. The downside, I was seated next to James. The disgusting pig that wanted every girl in the school for himself. Humph, him and Lauren would be perfect together.
Of course, James had to start a conversation with me. "So Bella…"
"What?" I replied without looking at him.
"I know that you want to go to the dance with. Aren't I right?"
"No. I'm going with Edward, so shove it." I didn't want to be so mean but this guy was revolting.
"Ahhh, I see. Already picked out the new boy."
"Just be quiet. I'm actually am here to learn." He turned back around facing forward, clearly annoyed.
"Nice one Bella!" Alice whispered to me.
"Thanks, can I talk to you after class. I have some news."
"Ooooh. Okay, I will definitely talk to you. I have an idea what it's about, but I won't say. I want to be surprised." Okay. Interesting. I guess that's just what Alice is though. An interesting, energetic pixie.
The class went by fast, and without another word from James. Maybe he just finally got the clue. Alice linked arms with me and we went to get Rose from her class. Once we got her, Alice started to ask me the questions. Darn, I was enjoying the silence.
"So, Bella. I have an idea and I'm pretty sure I'm right it's something about you and Edward. Is it something huge? Catastrophic? Cute? Funny? Char-" I cut her off. This girl could talk!
Rosalie was clearly puzzled. So I answered her unspoken question. "I told Alice I had news and she said we'd talk after class with you on our way to p.e."
"Oh, thanks for clueing me in. It helps to know what Alice babbles about…sometimes." We all laughed. I guess I'd better answer Alice's questions before she thinks of more.
"Well, when you two lefts to be with your boyfriends, Edward and I talked, until Lauren came up to Edward and asked him to go with the dance with her. Me mouthed help to me, so I intervened and saved him. I told her that I was going to the dance with him. You should have seen the look on her face. It was so priceless." I opted not telling them about almost kissing Edward part. But nothing gets past the two of them.
"And?" I was still going to try and skip out on that part.
"And what?"
"We know there's more, so just spill." My plan was ruined.
"Well… AfterthatEdwardandIalmostkissed."
" What?! Bella that so great! Are you dating now?"
"Wait, guys. How did you know that that was what I said?"
"That trick is so old Bella. Get some new material." Rose is so… I don't know. But sometimes she annoys me with the whole that is so last year or that is so old. Who cares?
We continued walking on to the gym, talking about nothing in general. We all shuffled into the locker room. All of us had P.E. lockers in the same row, so that made the changing a bit easier. You'd think I'd be over this by now, but apparently not. Even though I'm a senior and every thing, I guess I'm not comfortable with by body yet. In the beginning of the 7th grade, I'd had no shape what so ever. Now I was rather… developed per se. But oh no, Alice and Rosalie have always been blessed by the body gods, and they start to strip before even entering the freaking locker room! And then they can just walk around in their bras without a care in the world. Oh well, Rose and Alice will be Rose and Alice.
Our P.E. teacher came in yelling at all of us, telling us to hurry up. What? The bell hasn't even rung yet! Teachers.
"So, Bella and Rose, can we talk futures again? That was so much fun. And maybe this time we can talk about it with the boys, since Jasper said that Twilight University was the one that Edward and Emmett were going to. "
What? Really? How could we be talking futures with boys we barely know, well at least boys I barely know? And I'm not dating any of them. But I wish I were… Stop it Bella, get a grip. He is so out of your league.
"Hello? Bella come back down to earth!" Oh. Oops, I guess I had having a discussion with myself.
"Sorry Alice, I was just thinking. Don't you think were jumping the gun a bit?"
"No. We've known Jasper for years."
"Yeah but not the Cullen's."
"No, but in no time we'll all be great friends! Maybe even more if you catch my drift Bella."
"Alice, Please don't try and force this. But of course you know I'd go I you went. Even if we weren't friends with the Cullen's."
"Thanks Bella. Anyway, I was thinking after school at Community Park. I'm going with Jasper in his car to get some snacks before everyone lese gets there and Rosalie is driving Emmett there. So I guess that leaves you to go with Edward in his car." Alice had on a sly grin on her face, telling me that she planned this out. I really hated when she played matchmaker. But there was no use in trying to get out of the situation.
"Humph. Fine."
"Good! Now lets go out there!"
I hated P.E. so much. I couldn't do anything without falling flat on my face or giving someone else a concussion. Luckily, today I was on Alice and Rosalie's team for "Fun Day" Capture the Flag. I guess it was better than volleyball but not by much.
The whistle blew and the game started. I was defense in the very back because I couldn't run to the other goal with an object in my hands. I need both hands to keep balance. About five people from the other team started to run towards our goal or "safe zone". I tagged the slowest one and sent her to jail. Then I went over to the closest person and tagged him too.
There were still three people left and only two defensive players actually playing. I ran over to the blonde and tried to tag her. I realized it was Lauren.
How did I not notice her earlier?
She had an evil smile on her face and ran towards me as fast as she could. I didn't know what to do so a kind of just froze there.
"Bella! Watch out!" Rosalie yelled to me from the halfway line. Lauren crashed into me and I was knocked to the ground. I knocked the kind out of me and I couldn't breathe for a moment.
I closed my eyes and tried to regain my breath and put my heartbeat back to normal. I heard the coach blow the whistle and rush over to me along with Alice and Rosalie who were yelling at Lauren.
"What the hell Lauren?" Rosalie yelled.
"Why did you do that to Bella?!" Alice screamed.
I heard another voice that sounded like velvet.
That couldn't be him! I would have seen him. Wouldn't I? Is he really in this class?
I heard someone punch Lauren somewhere and then her scream.
"Bella? Bella are you okay?" A voice asked me. I opened my eyes to see if it was Edward. It was him! He was really in my P.E. class!
"Edward? What are you doing here?" I croaked.
"My class came outside today and I saw what Lauren did to you so I came to see if you were alright."
"Thanks."
"No problem. C'mon I'll take you to the nurses office."
"Okay." He picked me up bridal style and carried me to the office.
-:..:- -:..:- -:..:- -:..:- -:..:- -:..:-
The nurse gave me an ice pack and checked my stomach. Twenty or so minutes later I went into the main part of the office and found Edward.
"Do you want me to take you home?"
"Um…Sure."
He talked to the secretary, Ms. Cope, and brought me to his car.
"Where do you live?"
"555 Twilight Lane. Just take the first left after Monte Vista Way."
We drove in comfortable silence listening to Debussy cd.
"You like Debussy?" I asked him. We didn't seem like the kind of person who would.
"Yeah, I listen to a lot of the classics. I listen to tons of music though. What about you?"
"I listen to this kind of music and also the more modern stuff. Depends on my mood." We pulled up in front of my house and he turned the car off.
"So are you going to the meeting at the park still or are you feeling too bad?"
"No, I'll probably go."
"So I'll see you then?"
"Yup." I said popping the "p". I got out of the car and waved to him as he drove off. I went inside the house and called Charlie to tell him I'm home and that I'll bring him some lunch.
"Forks police department. This is Chief Swan speaking."
"Hey dad."
"Bells? Is everything alright?"
"Yeah, I just came home because I got hurt in P.E. today." He chuckled in the phone.
"I figured it would happen soon. No broken bones?"
"Not this time."
"Good. Is that it?"
"No. How about I bring you some lunch?"
"Sure Bells! That would be great!"
"Okay I'll make you baked potato and some spiced black beans. Sound good?"
"Sounds great."
"Okay I'll be there in half an hour."
We said goodbye and I hung up. I put the potato in the oven and the black beans into a pot. I added in the pot some pepper, salt, pinto beans, cayenne, and fresh basil and parsley. A half an hour later everything was ready and I it into containers. Half of the beans went into the freezer for Charlie's emergencies and half went into a paper bag for today.
I got into my car and drove off to the police station. I went straight to Charlie's office and sat down. He smiled at me and I gave him the food.
"Thanks Bella."
"Anytime." He opened up the containers and started eating.
I guess I should ask him some questions about this Amanda woman he likes.
"So Charlie… Tell me about Amanda."
"Uh…Okay, well she's 36, has long red hair and blue-ish eyes."
Okay, so she old enough. Charlie is 42, so it's a six-year difference. She works for the law and has long red hair.
"Good she's not too young for you and she sound like a good looking person. Why do you like her, personality wise?"
"Well she's got a good sense of humor, and she's smart and respectful."
"Those are definitely good qualities to have."
"I think so. Why are you asking though?"
"I'm trying to make it easier on you when Alice starts. Well I gotta go Charlie. See you later."
"Sure kiddo."
"Oh wait. Can I go to Community Park with Alice and Rose so we can talk about colleges?"
"Really? That's great! Go ahead!"
I knew he wouldn't say no, but I asked just in case.
I drove back home to find out that it was already 2:30, so just another fifteen minutes until they get out of school. I decided to shower and change into a yellow top with my denim Capri's, converse, a jacket and a yellow accessory set that Alice bought me last Christmas. I decided to bring my smaller book bag too. I headed out the door to see that Edwards's car was there. I smiled.
"I see you are right on time of course. Going to take me to the park?"
"Of course." I smiled him again. We got to the park and went over to the picnic table where everyone was.
"Hey guys." We said in unison. They all said hello and Alice hugged me.
"Are you okay Bella?"
"Yeah I'm fine. I just got a stomach ache from getting the wind knocked out of me."
"Okay good! Lets get to talkin'." The all sat down on the bench, girls one side and boys on the other.
Alice was our spokes-person since she clearly did a ton of research on the university.
"So I hear that you Cullen boys are going to Twilight University." They just nodded their heads.
"I did some research and found out that the University is private, like Stanford. Making it an Ivy-League College. Very exclusive. The beach is only ten minutes away."
"Yeah, you're right and the beach, I hear, is private and only for the college. We've already applied and are now waiting for the acceptance letter."
"Are you sure that you are getting in?"
"Yes, our father is a good friend with the chancellor."
"That's cool. Do you think that Bella, Rosalie, Jasper and I will be able to get in with our grades?"
"What are your grade-point-averages?
"I have a 3.8, Rose has a 3.5, and Jasper and Bella have 4.0's."
"Yes, I think so. It's a 3.3 and up college." I'm guessing Edward was the spokes person for him and Emmett.
"What will you be majoring in?"
"I will be in medicine working to become a pediatric surgeon, Emmett will be in health to become an personal trainer. I will also do soccer and Emmett may possibly unless he turns on us and goes to football. What about you guys?"
"Oh I thought you'd never ask! I'm going to try for Fashion Design, Rosalie in Car Mechanics and Bella in medicine as a Pediatrician. Jasper is going for a personal therapist an health since he's is so good with emotions and stuff"
Alice gave Jasper a very loving look and I smiled. They are so darn cute together!
"Good… so are you going? Because I want to do something fun later on! " Emmett boomed and stood up flexing his muscles. We all broke into fits of laughter.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah muscle man. Sit down and the faster we talk, the faster we can have some fun!" Rose said as she kissed his cheek. He listened to her and sat down. Alice pulled out some papers and what not.
"Emmett and Edward? Can you give us some time to talk?"
"Yeah sure. Come on Em."
Alice turned to me and smiled evilly. "Bella you are the only one who hasn't agreed to this. Rose wants to go and so do Jasper and I. So that leaves you no choice but to go too!"
I knew she had some plan! "Alice, I need to talk with Charlie and discuss the financial stuff. I know this school costs a lot to go to. I don't have that kind of money."
I took in a deep breath. "Okay, so, I have already talked to Charlie about it because he is my father figure and he said it would be a great idea, but he's not completely sold until you talk to him and arrange things better. And the whole "I don't have the money" thing has to stop. You know that your mom left you all that money in your college funds account?"
"Oh." I must've forgot about that."
"Yeah! Did you honestly think I didn't guess what you would say against this? Silly Bella. I never come unprepared"
I smiled. I'm so lucky to have Alice as a best friend. She always knows what to do. "Okay Alice. What Alice says, goes."
"Yup, and don't forget it!"
We called Edward and Emmett back and told them that we all were going to apply for the college and everyone was psyched. We finished up talking about the university and Alice wanted to play truth or dare. I really hated when she played this game because I always get so worked up and everyone laughs at me. Oh well. I'm trying to break out of my shell, right?
"C'mon everyone! Sit down over here!" Alice called to us. We all headed over and sat down. I was across from Edward and next to Jasper and Rosalie. I kept on staring at Edward and Rosalie must've noticed because she nudged me in my side.
"Someone's got a crush on Eddie over there." She whispered to me. I started to turn deep red and Alice laughed.
"Rose, what did you do to Bella? She looks like a cherry!" I blushed even deeper and Emmett roared with laughter. I punched him in his arm and he apologized and hugged me.
Alice clapped her hands to get everyone's attention. "Okay everyone! I start! Hmmm… Emmett! Truth or dare?"
"Dare!" Alice thought and then smiled.
"Emmett I dare you to moon the street behind us."
He smiled. "Okay!" He got up and ran to the curb. Then he pulled the back off his pants down so that the street could see him. Some of the cars honked and most others just kept going with the occasional pointing of finger or laugh. He ran back to us and sat down. We were all cracking up at what just happened.
"Jasper! Truth or Dare?" Jasper grimaced and swallowed. I know that he didn't want to seem like a wimp so he said dare.
"Okay Jazzy, I dare you to go over to those kids' game and kick their soccer ball away, all while in your boxers." Jasper's eyes got big and he stood up. He pulled down his pant and ran over to the game.
"Poor Jazzy!" Alice exclaimed. The kids started screaming at him and he pointed at Emmett. The kids fell silent and ran towards Emmett. He got up and ran away, scared of the little kids.
Jasper smiled and sat down with his pants back on. "Rosalie? Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Do you love Emmett?"
She gasped and looked at Jasper, shocked. They had only been dating for a week now, but Alice told Jasper she loved him the first hour they met. I could be possible.
She thought for a little while and then she looked up.
"Yes." She whispered. Alice and I shrieked in joy and hugged her.
"I told you he was good with emotions!" Alice said in all her happiness. Rose turned to me with a wicked grin on her face.
"Bella. Truth or dare?" I decided it would be easier to just skip the "Don't be a wimp part" and just go straight to dare.
"Dare." I said and Rosalie smiled again. I had a really bad feeling about this.
"Bella, I dare you to kiss Edward. Right, smack, on the lips." I sat there in horror and gave Rosalie a death glare. I couldn't do this! Even though I really wanted to, I could never do this! She was insane! Then I remembered what I said to myself earlier; I'm trying to break out of my shell. Maybe I could do this; after all, he did try earlier.
I nodded and looked at Edward. He was smirking at me and leaned in towards him. Closing my eyes, I met my lips with his. He smiled against my lips and deepened the kiss. Before I knew it I had my hands around his neck and my tongue dancing in his mouth. He was an amazing kisser! Not that I have much to compare him to. I stepped out of my little world when a heard catcalls and whistles from my friends. I reluctantly pulled away from Edward to see my friends.
"I take it you liked the dare Bella?" Rosalie was smirking at me. I could only nod and smile as I sat back down.
"Go Eddie! Edward and Bella sitting in the tree… k-i-s-s-i-n-g." Edward and I both blushed and we smiled at each other.
Yay! My first kiss…with Edward!
"Bella and Edward like each other! I knew this was gonna happen sooner or later!" Alice smiled brightly at us.
We did little games after that and two or so hours later we decided to go home. I got up and waited for Edward by his car.
He opened the door for me and I smiled. He was such a gentleman. He got in the car and we drove off.
"That kiss was spectacular." He said to me and I blushed.
"Yeah, I think so. Although it was more of a make-out session."
"Sure, but a really good make out session."
"Agreed." He smiled and grabbed my hand and liked it very much.
We got to much house quickly, much to my dismay. He walked me up to the door and kissed my cheek.
"Goodnight Bella."
"Goodnight Edward." We walked away and got into his car. I said hello to Charlie and walked to the living room.
"Did you get it all figured out Bells?"
"Yeah, Alice said she talked to you earlier and you said you were okay with it?"
"Yep. Anything to do with your education. I just want to let you know that I won't be much help financially."
"I know. Mom left me money. Remember?"
"Oh yeah. Good thing."
"Yeah, we're going to apply tomorrow and type up the essay for acceptance."
"Good Bella. I'm really proud of you."
"Thanks dad."
"Sure kiddo. Where's Alice?"
"She's coming. She just went with Jasper. Tell her I'm in her room when she gets here."
"M'kay"
About five minutes later I heard Alice walk into the house. Charlie told her that I was in her room and she sprinted up the stairs and walked into the room in record time. This girl must be very excited.
"Hi Alice."
"Hello Bella. Spill it now! I'm not going to ask you again. Just do it."
"Jeez Alice! Alright." For a girl so tiny, she sure was scary when she wanted something.
"How was it? What did you talk about in the car? C'mon c'mon I'm dying here!"
"Well you saw most of it. In the car we talked about how…amazing the kiss was and then he held my hand in the car. When we got to my house he walked me to my door, we said goodnight and he kissed me on the cheek." I was blushing the whole time.
"Yay! Bella I'm so happy for you. You two are perfect together. I knew it from the beginning."
"Yeah, well don't get too into this type of thing. He's probably a playboy anyway. Knocks girls off their feet only to push them back down mid-air."
"I don't think so. Never doubt Alice!"
"Sure Alice. It's not like you're a physic."
"How would you know Bella?" I just rolled my eyes and turned on the television in her room. The rest of the night we watched chick flicks, talked about our plans for Charlie and Amanda, and talked about Edward. My Mr. McSteamy.
--
"Wake-up sleepy head."
"Go away."
"Nope. Do you want me to force you out of bed, because I can go that way too."
"Fine. Give me a few hours."
"Very funny Bella. No get up now." Alice started to tug on my feet and I could feel her ripping me off the bed. I really didn't want to fall off the bed.
"Wait! I'm up." I lifted up my torso in my bed to look at Alice. "Did you even wake me up at a reasonable hour?"
"Maybe…"
"Alice, this is not a "maybe" question. Either a yes or no."
"We'll find out once we get down stairs. I picked out your outfit, it's in the bathroom. Go freshen up and get dressed." I got up and walked to the bathroom with my toiletries. All of the clocks in my room and the bathroom were out.
"Alice, did the power go out?"
"No, because you have the light on."
"Oh. Did you unplug all of my clocks so I wouldn't see the time?"
"I might have."
That must mean that it is really early. Maybe Charlie isn't even up! If he isn't up then that means it's before 5:30 in the morning! I am going to kill that evil pixie!
I looked at the clothes see picked out for me. It was a green long sleeve top with my favorite skinny jeans and…heels? What is she thinking?
"Alice? Did you make a mistake? I have heels in the pile of clothes you gave me."
"Settle down bella. They are only two-inch heels. Aren't they cute though?"
They were cute, but they were death traps. Even if they are "only" two-inch heels.
"I can force those on you too!"
"Okay, okay! I'm putting them on."
Hey, what do you know? They don't look half bad on me. Alice started to bang on the bathroom door and I walked out. She gave me a thumbs up and gave me a goofy smile.
I walked down the stairs (and didn't fall!) to find Charlie making a pot of coffee.
"Morning Bells. What are you doing up so early in the morning. School starts at 8:30."
"Alice woke me up." Alice flitted down the stairs. "Speak of the devil. What time is it dad?"
"About 6:15 in the morning. Why?"
"I just wanted to make sure it wasn't five in the morning."
Alice snickered. "I tried." She said.
I looked over to Alice and glared, yet I was happy at the same time that she didn't wake me up so early. I would've been even more of a grouch, and that is pretty hard to do.
"So Charlie, about this Amanda woman. You like her right?" So this is why we are up so early! She's going to question him and give him tips.
"Yeah I guess."
"Do you think she likes you?"
"I don't know. "
"Does she smile when she sees you?"
"Sometimes."
"Okay. Does she bat her eyelashes a lot or get red in the cheeks?"
"I don't know? Why do you ask?"
"Well those can be some signs. I want you to look for those today. It's like homework! I'm the teacher and you are the little student! This willl be so much fun! And tomorrow you are going to ask her to dinner on Friday!"
Charlie laughed and shook his head.
"Alice, you know that's not something I do."
"So! Bella did something she would normally never do yesterday!" I blushed crimson, knowing exactly what alice was talking about. Charlie looked over to me with a puzzled face.
"What did you do yesterday? Was it something bad?"
I shook my head, doubting my voice to come out even.
"Bella what did you do?"
"Nothing." I looked over to alice and gave her the best glare I could. "Idiot." I murrmered under my breath so that only alice could hear me. The I ran up the stairs as carefully as I could in my heels. I took them off and got back into my pyjamas. I still had an hour and, anyways, I'm all ready to go. Just put on my clothes and hop out of the house. I closed my eyes and heard someone come in. It must've been alice because the steps were so light. I kept my eyes closed and pretended to sleep.
"Bella, listen, I'm sorry about that. I just kind of slipped."
I listened, but didn't care. She shouldn't have done that.
"Bella, I know you are pretending." Gosh! She knows me so well!
"Fine." I said in a monotone voice. "The reason why I'm so mad is because now I have Charlie watching my every move and I don't want him to know that I made out with a…stranger."
"But Edward isn't a stranger."
"No, he isn't but that is the way Charlie will see it."
"Oh who cares? I know you two will end up dating. You'll have to tell him sometime. Plus if he starts to date Amanda, he can't really say anything about it."
"I guess."
"Sorry Bellie."
"It's okay Ali." We hugged and I got out of bed and got ready again. We went downstairs and ate some toast. Charlie had left while we were in the room. He left a note:
Bells:
I hope that whatever you did wasn't bad. I'll talk to you about this later.
Alice:
I will do as you sat at the office because what alice says, goes.
See you girls later and have a good day at school.
-Dad
Wow, what a great note. At least I have all day to think of a different story. The doorbell rang and alice ran to get it.
"Bella! It's Edward!"
"What?"
"He wants to take you to school! I'll take Rose. Go, go, go!"
"Did you do this?"
"No! Girl scout promise." I laughed and walked to the front door.
"Good morning Bella."
Now it is! I was too stunned to say anything than a "hi"
"Can I give you a ride to school?"
"Uh…yeah sure. I don't see why not."
He held out his hand and I gladly took it, forgetting about the step in front of me. I began to fall and prepared myself for the ground, but I never hit. Instead two rock solid arms caught me.
Man he has toned arms! I wonder what the rest looks like!
"Thanks." I began to blush and he chuckled.
"Anytime." He held out his hand again and I took it, gladly again, but this time I looked at the ground for steps. I got in the car and we went off to school.
He was still holding my hand in the car!
This one was so long! Over 5,000 words! Cool! Anyways, sorry for the long wait again. I was on vacation again because school starts in a week! sob
Next chapter is already half written. 5 REVIEWS PLEASE!
