Please don't hate me! This chapter is a little short... BUT it's readable, so that's what counts, right? :)
DISCLAIMER: My cat is named Frederik 5th, and I don't think Stephenie Meyer has a cat named that. If she does, that is one hell of a coincidence. :D
Previously: Dad came home and I explained to him that I would be having a friend over tomorrow. He was happy for me, he told me. I hugged him.
"Thanks Daddy. For everything." I whispered. He gave me a tight squeeze, and kissed my forehead, before heading to over to Esme to kiss her cheek.
When I woke the next morning, I was practically buzzing with excitement.
"Bella, turn down the excitement, Jazz's projecting and Emmett is going crazy!" Rose yelled to me. I grinned and tried to calm down a little.
"Sorry Rose, it's just such a long time since I've been with Angela!" I didn't bother to yell; I knew she could hear me anyway.
I quickly took a shower and dressed. When I walked down to have breakfast, Alice gave me an once-over and nodded in acceptance. I just rolled my eyes at her.
Esme had made pancakes stuffed with melted chocolate inside, and Jesus Christ it tasted heavenly.
I sighed when there was nothing left.
"Thanks for breakfast Mom, it tasted amazing." I told her. With a smile, she kissed my cheek and wished me a good day.
Once again, it was Rose and Ali that drove me to school.
"Man I wish I would just turn 16 already!" I complained. They just grinned at me and swung into the parking lot.
"Anyway, thanks for the ride. Remember we'll have another human with us home." I winked at them before hopping out and grabbing my back. When they drove out of the lot, I turned around to scan it.
A giant smile broke out on my face when I spotted her.
"Angie!" I squealed and started to walk toward her. She turned around and laughed.
"Bella!" She mimicked my squeal which had me laughing.
I hugged her as I reached her.
"Angie, I was thinking, do you have anything to do today?" I asked. She frowned slightly.
"No, I'm free. Why?" I smiled at her, the excitement rising again. It had been so long since I had seen her.
"Do you wanna come over? I already asked, and it's fine by them." I pulled puppy dog eyes that could have put Alice's to shame. She grinned at me.
"No need for the eyes, of course, I would love to meet your family." I beamed at her and hugged her again.
"Great!"
Her agreeing to come with me home after school, just about made my day. Jessica tried to trip me in the hallway, and I surprised myself with the graceful step I took over it. In the biology class I had before lunch that weird pain in my stomach came again. If it continued, I would have to talk to Carlisle about it.
"No Ang, don't eat too much; my Mom's making food. You won't be able to eat dinner if you eat too much now." I winked at her as she dropped the package of something. I just took some salad and some fruit; at least that would be safe. Angela looked at my portion with concern.
"Angela, once you see me eating at home, you won't ever look at my portion with concern again." I laughed at her. She just grinned.
We sat down at the table. Lauren and Jessica glared at me, but I just raised an eyebrow at them.
Turning to Angela, I saw them exchange a look from the corner of my eye.
"So, Ang, what do you wanna do when we get home" I asked. She looked thoughtful for a moment.
"I have no idea Bella. I have never been to your house, so I have no idea what we can do." She said. I grinned at her.
"Well, even though Em is as big as he is, he's a giant Teddy, and loves to prank and play games. So, we have about every single game, to every single game-console, if you want to play. I rock at guitar hero, just so you're warned." I grinned at her. She blinked.
"Nice." She said. I just grinned at her.
"Yeah." We laughed together, and I turned to eat the rest of my food. I saw Jessica and Lauren give Angela jealous glares, and I was angry again. How dare they, sitting there and back-talking my family and then be jealous because I didn't invite them? Stupid, brain-dead, jealous girls.
I was going to have so much fun with Angela, I just knew it. Angela was sweet, and caring, but I knew that once you got her alone, she had a wicked humor, and there was no stopping her. Em was going to love her.
I had to actually do something in P.E which I wasn't too keen on. Really, I sucked, P.E sucks, and the only thing that did brighten my day even though I had P.E was Angela, and the fact that she would meet my family. I looked so much forward to it.
When I tripped on my way out of the gym because I was thinking of everything Ang and I could do together, Jessica and Lauren just had to be obnoxious. They laughed, snapped a photo of me, and waltzed right out of there, making sure to step on my fingers, with their high heels and miniskirt flaring around. I scowled, picked myself up and examined my fingers for any damage. I would have to have Dad look at it.
Sighing, I changed. It really sucked being human. Everything could go wrong; I could catch some stupid disease, die if I fell down the stairs, and that was a possibility, knowing my luck and lack of co-ordination. It sucked being human.
"Angela!" I exclaimed when I saw her standing nervously in front of the office. She was looking like she thought I had ditched her. A look of relief showed on her face when she saw me smiling at her.
"Hey Bella, I thought you had forgotten" She smiled with a small frown on her face.
"You don't have to worry about that Angela. I would never do anything like that. It was just Mallory and Stanley that held me back; I tripped and they stepped on my fingers." I glared at the earth as a light blush crept along my cheeks. I hated being humiliated. Angela frowned deeper, a look of dissatisfaction moving into her eyes.
"Don't mind them Bella, they don't know anything." She told me. I smiled gratefully at her. Just then I heard a collective gasp when Alice zoomed into the parking lot in her bright yellow Porsche 911 Turbo. I rolled my eyes.
"She just had to show it off." I stated with a snicker. Angela's eyes were nearly bugging out.
"Seriously Bells, how much money do you have?" Her voice was getting a tad bit higher. Maybe she was scared she was going to break it. I laughed.
"I'm not quite sure. But I think it would be more than enough to pay Forks' employees for some time." Her wide eyes turned to me.
"Goodness" was all she could get out. Grinning, I linked my arm with hers and dragged her toward Alice and Rose.
"Ali, Rose, I want you to meet Angela. Angela, these are my sisters as well as they can get, Rosalie and Alice." I introduced. Rosalie smiled big at her, just as Alice rushed forward and grabbed Angela in a hug.
"HiAngelaI'mAliceit'ssonicetomeetyouwe'regoingtobesogoodfriends." (Hi Angela, I'm Alice, it's so nice to meet you, we're going to be so good friends.) She blabbed, going a mile a minute. It was a wonder if Angela even caught that. Her stunned look had me laughing so hard I had to lean against Rose because of the convulsions that went through my body. Angels wrapped her arms around Alice in a timid embrace. She was always very shy.
"Rose, did you feed her caffeine or what?" I choked out between my laughter fits. Rosalie was looking like she could barely contain her own laughter.
"Oh Bella, shut up, I was just excited to meet Angela." Alice said with a grin, bouncing on her feet. I whispered into Ang's ear, knowing Rose and Ali could hear, "don't worry, she's always that hyper. Just, whatever you do, do not go shopping with her. She's even more hyper when that happens" I grinned.
Alice playfully glared at me, without Angela seeing of course, and I followed Ang into the backseat.
Angela was sitting like she was afraid of breaking the expensive car, but I just leaned back and relaxed.
"Angela, the only thing you have to worry about, is the fact that Alice drives like a maniac. Don't look out the window and you will be fine." I winked at her. She relaxed into the seat, but made the mistake of looking out the window. Her worried little squeal had me glaring at Alice, silently telling her to slow down. With a barely audible sigh, she slowed down to a pace that was a little more bearable for the first time of the other human, in this car. I was hoping Angela would be coming to my place more often than not. Or me going to her place. I didn't care, as long as I could have my best friend back.
"So Angela, are you hungry?" She raised an eyebrow at me.
"Seeing as you told me not to eat too much, I'm starving!" She said with a grin.
"Bella! You told your friend not to eat?" Alice was a good actress. She actually had me believing she hadn't seen it, but when she gave me a quick wink, I knew she had. I think I even looked a bit sheepish.
"You haven't seen the food. Sorry Ang, if you like it, but it's disgusting! And I told her not to eat too much, so that there would be room for Mom's food!" I said with a pout.
"Jeez Bella, I know it's gross, I saw you yesterday, didn't I?" She teased and I blushed slightly. Rose and Angela laughed at our bickering, and soon Alice joined in. The laughter was contagious, and soon I ended up laughing too.
And I just knew that bringing Angela home was not a mistake; she would fit right in with us.
Yes, that is it for now. Stay tuned for more? :D Lol, haha, I'll update asap, but don't expect anything very, very soon. Damn exams. :(
