A/N: Ha! Finally written. Thank you so much for the reviews, and I hope you enjoy.
The sunlight skimmed gently over my pale skin eyelids. How I wished for blessed sleep to overtake me when it never would. They fluttered open despairingly, and I frowned at the blue walls of my room, watching the reflections of green leaves dance across them from the sunlight. Quietly, I slipped into sweatpants and a tank top before heading downstairs.
Everything was oddly still and unearthly quiet. How very strange for a house full of people who couldn't sleep. I pushed the thought from my mind and flopped on the couch- completely without grace, I may add. There was nothing else to do but wait for everyone to start moving so that we could hit the town, so I lifted the remote to our television and flicked casually through the channels. I grew so absorbed in music videos that I hardly noticed His quiet entrance.
Allowing myself once glance at him as he sat down on the couch, I spoke. "Are you coming out with us today?" I immediately regretted my unnecessarily rude tone that I had used. It wasn't exactly his fault I was pissed off at him- at least he didn't know that it really was. He nodded slowly, his eyes focused on the television. We sat in silence, not speaking as the music hummed in the background. The songs gradually became less interesting, and I tossed him the remote. "Watch whatever you want." I said wearily. "I'm going to get ready."
I practically flew upstairs, all the while planning to never talk to him so randomly again. It only issued Bella's feelings for him, and that wouldn't do me any good at all. When I thought I was decent and ready for the day, the fashion queens met me, and this time they had dragged Alice with them. When they saw what I was wearing, their eyes widened. "What?" I asked and turned to look at myself in the mirror. It wasn't as if I had done anything drastic. All I did was tug on a knitted gray sweater over an emerald tank top, matched it with comfortable jeans, and pulled my hair into a ponytail. (A/N: I may have said that it was summer or fall or something earlier, but I'm changing it to mid December. Be happy!) Finally Chantal spoke.
"Oh nothing." She said, still looking me up and down in amazement. "I just never though you'd be able to dress yourself."
"Yay! She's learning fashion!" Hope's eyes gleamed mischievously. I shook my head.
"I wouldn't be so sure of that." I mumbled, and Alice giggled.
"You might not, but I happen to know that a few people are going to be very appreciative." I glowered at her- not sharing her visions with the rest of the world was totally unfair. Pouting, I led the way out of my room and downstairs and out to my Mercedes baby.
I was chosen to drive Will, Sparrow, Trey, Alice, and Jasper. I don't know how I managed to cram them into the car, but I did it. I think Alice ended up sitting on Jasper's lap and Sparrow sat on Trey, with Will sitting up front next to me. As he thumbed through the music stations, I inquired as to our destination. "I had a vision." Alice started sarcastically, her voice incredibly dramatic.
"Come on now, be serious."
"I am! I had a vision of us stopping at the drug store. Don't ask me why." I rolled my eyes and finally heard the beginning of the song that Will had chosen.
"OMC! Yes!" I shouted and started bopping to the beat as Will did the voice of Timbaland in the song Miscommunications. "I'm in your part of town, I call your phone and you're no where to be found. You do this every time, you be MIA every single time. The part that kills me, you'd rather chill with ya friends instead of me, huh. But I aint gonna be no clown. I guess I call you next time I'm in your town. And you say to me"
He stopped as I went and did Keri. "So what, I was out with my friends. I'm a grown woman. It's the weekend, oh. So what if I don't answer my phone. What if I'm not alone I'm with him. What's it to you? I need to get out. You, you, you, you, you are killing me, you're killing me, you're killing me. And I just wanna get out. You, you, you, you, you are killing me, you're killing me, you're killing me. Whatcha wanna do, do, do? Whatcha wanna do, do, do?
The song ended as we pulled up in front of the dully-light store. I turned the car off, and turned around, my hand on the door. "Anyone coming?"
Alice, Sparrow, and I entered the store with a flourish, as graceful as anything. Alice directed us to the things that we would need: a bag of candy, hair twisties, notebooks, pencils, soda, etc. Not that we were going to eat or drink anything, just use it for dares. Sparrow handed me the money and we walked up to the corner. Upon seeing the cashier, I frowned and began to regret coming to the drugstore. I started to make for the door, but it was too late, he had seen me. With a sick feeling, I pulled on a fake smile and placed the items on the counter.
"Hi Karma." The guy at the cash register said in what I assumed to be an attempt at a husky voice. "Find anything you like?"
You couldn't really miss the hidden meaning. "Yes," I ground out, shoving the stuff onto the counter as Sparrow sniggered quietly in the background. Tom- for that was his name- had asked me out numerous times during the school year. (A/N: It's Sat, and Bell/Karma is strong enough to resist human blood, so she goes to school) Not to mention the previous times of hitting on me, when Will was watching too, I might add. I mean, couldn't he take a hint?
"Are you sure?" He asked, still smiling sickly. Just then, Will came in and rescued me. He wrapped an arm around my waist, glaring.
"Is there a problem here, honey?" He asked, although he made a point to stare at Tom directly. Tom turned away and finished ringing up the items.
"Thank you." I said, grabbing the bag, and leaving in a hurry. When we got into the car once more, Alice began to laugh.
"What was that all about? I've never seen a more ridiculous boy in my entire life…with the exception of Mike." She added the last part almost to herself. Sparrow shared her enthusiasm.
"He's just a poor teenage boy, who seems to become very hormone happy whenever Bella's near."
"If we weren't in my car, I would be beating you up right now." I frowned at her, but it was too late. Alice had already erupted in laughter- if she were human, this would be the point where tears would have been streaming from her eyes. Turning to Sparrow enthusiastically, she beamed.
"Tell me more."
A/N: Thank you for the reviews, and I hope this is okay. It was boring to me, but I had to get this part over with anyways. Sorry for all the author's notes. Please review!
