Love Story in Cali

Chapter Nine: The Senior Prom Prt.1

Simone Point of View:

I pressed the button that lowered my window. My hair began to whip around me as the wind rushed through it. I looked over to Bella, who was looking out her window, and I sighed loudly.

"Isabella Marie Swan, what the hell is bothering you?" I shouted to her loudly. She jumped in her seat and I began to laugh at her.

"Don't do that again!" she shouted back at me.

"I'm sorry. You looked sad so, I had to do something."

I turned the steering wheel to the left and into the driveway. Karmen and Jacob came walking out. Jacob waved to Bella then, locked the door. Karmen jumped in the back seat and leaned forward.

"What's up Bella?" she asked in a hyper tone.

I looked at her in my mirror. "Hey Karmen, did you find my candy?"

She shook her head so fast; I thought it would fall off. "No, not all! What would make you think that?"

The car door slammed and I glared at Jacob. "Jacob Black! You may be older, but nobody told you to slam my freaking door!"

He stuck his tongue out at me. "You seem cranky; did your boyfriend dump you?"

I began to blush deeply. That stupid Jacob! I pressed down on the petal and began driving off towards the mall. I kept quiet on the way there. How did Jacob know that? He is such a nosey brother. I bet Seth told him. Jacob kept talking to Bella while Karmen rolled her eyes. I wanted to make a smart comment, but I couldn't.

"Stop trying to flirt with Bella, Jacob" Karmen said.

"You know Karmen--," Jacob began, but Bella cut him off.

She started to laugh. "You guys could probably kill each other. Sometimes ya'll need try to get along."

I turned on the radio and the stereos began to blast playing "Untouched" by the Veronicas. Bella and I looked at each other and began to smile.

"Ready?" she asked.

I nodded. "I go ooh ooh, you go ah ah lalalalalalalala," I began to sing.

"wanna wanna wanna get get get what I want
Don't stop
Give me give me give me what you got got
Cause I can't wait wait wait any more more more more
Don't even talk about the consequence
Cause right now you're the only thing that's making any sense to me
And I don't give a damn what they say, what they think think," she continued singing the rest.

Jacob bent over and put his hands over both of our mouths. "Please spare me the pain. You two can sing, but please be quiet."

I spit in his hand and he pulled away quickly. "Nasty, sis."

Karmen handed him a napkin. "Here."

He began rubbing the napkin against his skin. "I'm surprised you are that nice to me."

She smiled at him. "Whatever."

She faced her window and smiled happily. I pulled up into the mall parking lot and found a space close to the entrance. As soon as we got out my phone buzzed in my pocket. I slid my hand in my pocket and grabbed my phone.

"Hey, Erik, what's up?" I asked, warily.

"Hey, Simone what's wrong with you?" he asked.

I put my phone to my chest and told the guys I'll meet them inside. After they left I went to lean on my car.

"Yeah, um…Erik, I think we should break up."

"Uh…okay, I knew you would do this." He said.

"You knew?"

"Yeah, I love you Simone. I know everything about you and that includes the fact that you love Seth Clearwater. He loves you, too."

I began to blush. I had no idea he knew that. "Thank you, Erik. I love you, too. Bye, see you around."

I smiled. I knew he was too perfect. I ran into the mall and looked around for Bella. I spotted Karmen and my annoyingly sweet brother, Jacob. He was sitting in a chair looking like he was dead. I smiled at them then, pointed to the dressing room. Karmen nodded.

"Did she pick it out?"

"Yes, surprisingly." Karmen answered.

"Bella, come out honey. Let me see your dress!" I shouted.

She laughed at me. "No! It is shorter than I thought!"

"Well, if you don't come out we can't see."

She sighed so loud we could hear her from the room. She walked out wearing her black high tops and a sexy black dress. The dress looked like it was inches away from her butt- pretty much her upper thigh. She kept her hands in front of her and was blushing deeply. "See."

Jacob wasn't "dead" anymore. He was blushing hard and looked like he was about to drool. I closed his mouth and laughed. "Um…Jakie, close your mouth."

He pushed my hand away. "Simone, keep quiet."

His attention was back on Bella. "You look beautiful, Bells."

She smiled sheepishly. "Thanks, Jake."

She turned around and looked into the mirror. She tugged at the dress then, stuck her tongue out at the image. "I'm not getting it! "

That got me thinking. She's getting the dress.

Bella came back out in her regular clothes. She set the dress next to a mannequin then, walked back to us.

"Can I please go to get some jeans?" Jake asked.

"Sure, we will meet in the food court at eight, got it?"

He waved his hand at me as he walked. "Yeah, sure."

He began walking towards American Eagle. I watched him so, I knew where he was. Karmen decided to follow him, which is weird. I looked back to Bella who was perusing a rack of dresses. She must really want to look great. She was holding a satin pink dress, white dress, and a black dress. I had my dress picked out and a plaid dress that I thought was absolutely cute. I grabbed the dress Bella tried on and purchased that one, too. I walked over to Bella and took the pink dress from her hand. I held it up in front of me and smiled at her.

"I think you should get this one." I told her.

"Really?" she asked, stupidly.

I nodded. "Yeah. I think you will look absolutely beautiful. You will look amazing and very pretty."

Bella was about to respond, but she looked totally stunned. "Simone, look behind you."

I looked behind me and saw Tiffany on the floor-she looked devastated.

"Maybe we should check on her," I suggested.

We sprinted towards her and bent down next to her. She looked up to us with her teary blue eyes and she fell on her back. "Oh, hi you guys, what's up?"

We looked at her like she was stupid. "Tiffany?"

"I'm sorry for what I said to you Bella. I was just jealous. My boyfriend dumped me that day and I was pissed."

"Oh, Tiff." I said. "Wait, I have an idea. I know who can be your boyfriend, Tiffany."

"Who?"

I smiled at her cleverly. "You will see at prom."

She smiled at us. "Okay."

She stood up and smiled happily. "Bella is that your dress. If it's not, I think you should get it."

"Thanks, Tiffany. I actually was thinking about getting it."

"Your welcome."

Bella Point of View:

I can't believe Tiffany is being nice to me. I guess she is really a nice girl. I just wonder who is Simone going to get for her date.I paid for the dress then walked back over to Simone and the new Tiffany.

"Simone, can we go to Hollister and Abercrombie?" I asked her.

She turned to me. "Yeah, let's go."

We began walking off towards the two stores. "Bella! Simone!"

We both looked back at Tiffany. "Um…can I come with you guys?"

We looked at each other then, back at her. "Sure, Tiffany."

She began skipping towards us. We all began walking together to Hollister. I'm surprised the three of us are this close to each other. Tiffany is different than I expected. Once we were in a girl with spiky hair bumped into us. Oh no, this doesn't look good. The pixie in front of us put her hands on her hips.

"I can't believe you two did not invite me!" she squealed.

I put my hand on her little shoulder. "Please calm down. I'm sorry I didn't invite you."

She smiled a little smile at me. "Okay, so did you pick out a dress?"

"Yes, I absolutely did."

"Can I see it?" she asked, excited.

"Nope, not until prom."

She crossed her arms. "No fair."

"Are the others with you?" Simone asked.

"Yeah, Emmett is somewhere in there and Edward is somewhere. I think Rosalie is helping Jasper pick out a tux."

"Edward is here?" I asked full of excitement.

"Don't get your panties in a twist. I said he is somewhere in this mall." Alice told me with emphasis on somewhere.

"Simone, could you please?"

She nodded. "I will get you a pair or maybe three."

I laughed. "Thank you."

I walked away with Alice on my side. "Where are you going?"

She looked peeved. "Shut up, Bella. I'm just going with you so, I can get Jasper."

We passed by the place Jasper was supposed to be and Alice hurried inside. After she went in I continued to look for Edward. I found him by the fountain with an American Eagle and Hollister bag next to him. I hurried to him and sat in his lap. He had his strong arms around me in that instant. I kissed his lips quickly. He looked totally surprised.

"Bella, what are you doing here?"

"Well, I am here to shop." I told him.

I got out of his lap and stood in front of him. "What did you get?"

"Nothing much. Did you get a dress?"

"Yes, I did and don't think you will see before Alice."

"I think I will be able to see it."

"No, I don't think so."

His lips met mine. I got into the kiss and began kissing him back. I pulled back quickly after I realized what he was doing. "Isn't it my job to seduce you and not the other way around?"

He kissed me sweetly. "I think it's fair if we share that job."

"Okay."

~*~Food Court~*~

I took a sip from my strawberry smoothie as I watched Edward, who was watching me. Alice and Rosalie were eating salads that looked really good. I already finished my pasta and I was full. Simone came in with Tiffany and a girl with dirty blond hair.

"Hi, you guys! This is Sandy. Bella, you remember her?" Simone said cheerfully.

I nodded. Sandy was one of my friends. She was on the cheer squad before she quit. "Hi Sandy."

She waved at me. Simone handed me a bag that was beyond heavy. "How many pairs of jeans did you buy?"

"I only bought three pairs and a couple of shirts." She explained.

I shook my head at her.

Jacob, Karmen, and Emmett walked in laughing. Emmett seized his laughter after he saw Rosalie. He kissed her cheek then took his spot next to his girlfriend. I smirked at Emmett and he just frowned.

~*~Last Chances~*~

Simone Point of View:

I called him and asked him if he could before he left. He told me he would and he said he would need to talk to me.

I put on my dress and pressed it down. It looked really good. I applied some light make-up on my face and curled my hair. Karmen walked in with her blue dress flowing behind her as she walked. She beamed a smile at me.

"You look beautiful," she said.

"You do, too."

She hugged me. "We will have fun."

"Yeah."

Jacob walked in with just a dress shirt on. He looked surprised when he saw us. "My sisters look beautiful."

He hugged us in his strong arms and lifted us from the ground. I tried to get out of his arms, but I couldn't. "Jake, put me down! You are going to ruin my dress,"

He laughed then, set us down. "Promise me a dance?"

"Okay."

Karmen pushed Jacob out the door. "Bye, sis. I will take care of Jakie,"

I wrapped my pink shawl around me. "I'm ready for the beginning of the end."

I exited my room and went downstairs. Karmen and Jake must be in the limo. I hurried to the white limo outside and got in. "Can we stop by Seth's?"

~Seth~*~

I rang the doorbell and Seth opened the door. He raised an eyebrow at me. "Simone?"

I nodded. "Yeah, I wanted to ask you to um…prom."

He looked taken back. "Prom? What about your boyfriend?" I frowned and my eyelids dropped a bit.

My glance shifted away from his eyes. "I broke up with him..," I began

His eyes widened. I looked into his eyes and held onto his arms. "I broke up with him for you, Seth. I didn't realize how important you are to me until you broke up with me. I realized that you were there for me when he wasn't there. I love you, Seth."

By impulse, I kissed him. He put his arms around me and kissed me back. After we released he put his hands on my face. "I love you, Simone. I can't turn down your offer. I will be your date to prom."

I smiled happily and tears flowed down my cheeks. "Thank God for water proof make-up."

He laughed then, kissed me.

Bella Point of View:

~*~Getting ready~*~

Cullen House

Alice zipped up my dress and it fit snuggly. After it was on she sat me down. "You look pretty Bella."

"Thanks. I love your dress, too, Alice."

She twirled around to model her dress. "Thanks."

"Your make-up is done and your hair is fixed. My job is done." Alice said,

"I need to go the bathroom." I said.

"Okay."

I was lying to her. I only said that so I could see Edward. I pushed Edward's door open and saw him almost dressed-he was missing a few buttons and his tie wasn't tied. I smiled at him openly. "Hello."

That is Chapter 9. I decided to make two parts so chapter 10 will be the last. Sorry it took so long, I couldn't go on the computer. Please Read & Review. Just click the button below this story. If you can guess who Tiffany's prom date is then, good job. Some may say I thought he was leaving. Well that's wrong because he lied and was just going to surprise Simone. (He called her and told her about it)
