Chapter 3
The next day as I dressed myself the smile on my face stayed put. Pulling on my dark blue long sleeved sweater I ran a brush through my hair and ran out the door to my waiting Chevy. The ride to school was a short one as I was all in anticipation of what was to come next.
The moment I stepped outside the car in Forks high parking lot the smile fell. How the hell am I supposed to do this? I am a complete amateur in the dating field, never having had a boyfriend before. Just then Edward bounded up to me a quizzical look on his pristine face. "What the hell bells? Why the silent treatment?" he questioned. Honesty is the best policy and all that so I went "'cause I embarrassed the hell out of myself yesterday and I wasn't up to facing you after it." He looked vaguely embarrassed himself. "uh..ok." he mumbled. Pasting the smile back on my face I looped my arm through his and brightly stated "Come on, let's get to class." And that was the end of that discussion for today. All I need to figure out now is how on earth am I going to come up with a new boyfriend? And where the hell from?
That day in Econ I sat in my usual seat beside Alice. "Hey Bella!" she said bouncing on her chair; I don't know how the women gets her energy, honestly. It's like sugar is her staple diet or something. "Hey Allie, listen up, I've got a problem on my hands." And just like that the entire story poured out my mouth. For once Alice was the one who kept quite while I blabbered on and on. By the time I was done with my great tale of woe she was so excited she looked ready to bounce from wall to wall. Just then Mr. Richards entered and the class fell silent. Thank god. I don't think I'm prepared for what she has to say.
The moment the bell rang after 45 minutes of Mr. Richards droning on and on about macro econ I was kinda thankful for Alice hauling me out of my chair and dragging me out the room towards out lockers.
Once we got there she pulled open hers and stuck her head inside. Seriously. And then the screaming began. Justifiably, I began to worry as any friend would. "Alice! Oh my god! Are you OK? What the hell!" I said as I pulled her out of the locker. Then she jumped on me as she laughed! "Bella! Finally! You won't believe how long I've been waiting for this day! Don't you worry about a thing, I'll handle it all!" now the woman was all business and she went on and on about clothes, make up, parties and something that sounded a lot like lounge. Um.. WHAT?
I know, I know I'm an awful person. Leaving the story like that, but you just have to understand. Google IB and you'll know. :P
