I own nothing.
Sorry for the wait, everybody. Things are just so busy right now.
My alarm woke me and I became aware of the fact that I would have to go to another long day in hell. It was only my second day and I already wanted to go jump off a bridge. Dad had called late last night to make sure I was okay, but, really, this is what it consisted of,
"You okay?" he had asked in an emotionless voice.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just a panic attack."
"Oh, good, well…bye," and he was gone before I could even open my mouth to attempt to answer.
I felt refreshed although I was a little achy from the panic attack. I headed to the bathroom and took a shower, letting the warm water relax me. I scrunched my black hair and threw on a gray, slouchy shirt, ripped skinny jeans, black and purple high tops, and a purple and black scarf.
I was really hoping to see Emmett again today. I ran downstairs and grabbed a granola bar and my black jacket as I ran out the door, realizing that I was almost running late.
It wasn't long before I was pulling into the school parking lot and parked towards the back. I was sitting there getting my stuff together, when I heard a knock on my window, causing me to jump and let out a little squeal. As I looked out I saw Alice bouncing outside, waiting on me.
"Hurry up, Bella!" she called, "I have things to do today, other than wait on you."
"No one said you had to wait on me," I retorted as I hopped out of the truck rather gracefully. She immediately gripped my hand and pulled me along into the building and I noticed that Edward, Mike, and Jasper were trailing behind us as I said hi to all of them.
I was still looking back, when Alice suddenly stopped right in the middle of the hallway, causing me to run into her. She was staring straight ahead with a pissed look on her face. I looked up to see what she was so mad about when I saw Emmett sticking his tongue down Lauren's throat. It was disgusting and I had a strong feeling that I might be sick, though for some reason part of me thought that maybe it wasn't just because it was extremely gross to watch, but pushed that feeling aside.
"Dude, get a room," Mike whined from behind me. All of a sudden I started busting out laughing. I couldn't make it stop, even as Emmett looked up at me and was staring at me as if I was crazy, I still couldn't stop. I heard Alice start chuckling softly followed by Jasper.
I was laughing so hard my sides hurt and Emmett had come to stand in front of me and I saw the amusement in his eyes and a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. My laughter slowed when Lauren shot me smug smirk and was hanging on his arm, but I still couldn't wipe the wide grin off my face.
"What?" his deep, sexy voice asked. I just shrugged and walked around him, tugging Alice along with me, leaving everyone confused, including myself. I was about halfway down the hall and Alice had started blabbing on about Jasper when I felt a muscular arm around my shoulders.
I looked up and saw those beautiful baby blues and couldn't stop the small smile that graced my face. I was starting to get the feeling that Alice liked Jasper. She just wouldn't stop talking about him, not that I really minded all that much.
"So, where you going, Bells?" he asked and I smiled at the nickname.
"Trig, you?"
"English, stupid class, why do we need to take a class for a language we already know?" he asked and I laughed at how serious he looked as he shot me a wide grin, dimples on full display. We all headed off in different directions to our classes.
_________
All my classes up until lunch were uneventful. Emmett wasn't in Home Ec. again and I figured he was having someone do him a "favor", as he put it. I was with Lauren and Jessica and I was going to punch something if Lauren didn't shut up.
All morning she had been bragging about her and Emmett's escapades and I was getting seriously annoyed. Alice skipped up to us in all her energetic glory and we all headed into the lunch room together.
"Bella! Come sit with us today!" Mike yelled at me from across the room. I looked at Alice, pleading with her to help me out. "Oh, we should. Jasper's over there. Come on, I'll go with you!"she said, excitedly as she pulled me along with her. I just rolled my eyes.
What great help she was. As we made our way over, only Mike, Jasper and Tyler were sitting there. Mike pulled out a chair for me right next to him with a wide grin on his face. I attempted to smile though it probably looked more like a grimace. Alice ended up in between Mike and Jasper and she looked extremely happy.
"So, Bella, what's up?" he asked as he tried to discreetly put his arm around my chair, though he didn't do a very good job. When I felt his arm brush my shoulders, I immediately sat up straight.
"Um, nothing, Mike."
"Well, what are you doing tonight?" he asked hopefully. He looked so vulnerable, I almost didn't want to lie to him. Almost.
"Well, I'm…"
"She's coming over to our house." Emmett interrupted me as he sat in the empty chair at my right. "Right, Bells?" he looked at me expectantly.
"Um, right," I said unsurely. "Oh, yay! Omg, Bella this is going to be so much fun! Are you coming Jasper?" Alice asked.
"Course I am," he answered calmly, which was the exact opposite of Alice.
"Sorry Mike, looks like I have plans," I said somewhat sincerely.
"Oh, that's okay, Bella." He said looking crestfallen and I immediately felt bad. I was saved from having to say anything more to him by the bell. We all got up to go to our classes. I was already almost out of the cafeteria, when an arm came around my waist and pulled me into someone's muscular side.
"Can't wait 'til tonight," Emmett whispered in my ear, with a wide grin on his face and wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. I started feeling a little nervous at the look on his face.
