I woke up to the phone blaring at me from downstairs. God that's a really loud phone. I sighed and got up to answer it.
"hello?" I mumbled into the phone not recognizing the caller ID, then again I did just move here.
"Hey Jen, it's Bella. I was calling to see if we were still up for our plants today. But seeing as how it sounds like you just got up I'd guess not." I looked over to the clock that was above the stove and saw that it was 12:30. Oh shit.
"no we're still on, I'll just hurry my shower up. But I will be ready by the time you get here." So much for dressing up.
"awesome I'll see ya in a bit, oh and I'm bringing my 'sister' with me, she just HAD to go." She laughed. The tone of voice she used kinda scared me, oh well.
"ok, well I'm gonna go get ready, see ya in a bit."
"okie doke." Okie doke? That was interesting.
I was just putting my hair up when I heard the doorbell rang. I checked over myself one more time, I was wearing a pink tee with the word Love written all over it, with Bermuda Capri pants, and black slide shoes. I told you I was a fashion freak. And I got everything on me from one of my favorite stores called 5, 7, 9. Great store.
I walked down the stairs slowly enjoying the sound of my heels on the wood floor. I opened the door slowly to see a very bouncy short pixie like girl. That's not Bella was my first thought.
"Hi, I'm Alice." Who the hell is Alice?! And why is she BOUNCING on my front porch. "I'm Bella's 'sister'. And she didn't feel like getting out of the car cause she wanted to stay with Edward" she sighed rolling her eyes at the two love birds. And I had to laugh.
"oh, ok. That makes much more sense, let me grab my clutch and then I'll be ready to head out the door. As I said this she sort of started looking me up and down and with each passing second a smile got even bigger on her lips. Uh oh, I think I should be scared. I heard a loud laughing coming from the shiny Volvo I rode in the day before, and looked over to see a hysterical Edward. Wonder what he's laughing at.
Me and Alice made our way to the car and she was just chatting away happily about anything and everything in Forks. Before we made it all the way to the car I looked around at the trees and the weather. Noticing that it was very cloudy and rainy looking. And very green. Gotta love the green. Oh well, I better get used the weather cause I think Alice said something bout the weather always being like this on one of her mile a minute topics. I laughed quietly to myself thinking about how well me and her will be able to get along. This town doesn't seem so bad after all. And maybe I won't be such a loner at the school Monday.
I got in the backseat of the shiny Volvo and talked to Alice, she didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know about her and her family although she did say something about shopping. Hey I'm game, I love shopping. Apparently she read my mind cause we after about 10 minutes of exploring Forks we were off to Seattle to do some shopping. I wonder how Bella talked Edward into shopping with us. Hmm. Oh well.
After we got to the mall Edward took off, it looked like he had a headache, I wonder what's wrong with him. I thought quietly to myself.
"so, you look like a shopping type of girl" replied Alice with a knowing look on her face.
"actually, yes I do love to shop, I mean what girl doesn't like to shop." I asked truly curious to know what girl in there right mind wouldn't like to shop. And apparently I knew one.
"well, Bella here hates to shop." Alice said with a smirk.
"It's not that I don't like shopping its just that I don't like people spending money on me. And ok ya I do hate shopping" Bella said laughing at the last bit.
"well, hmm…we'll just have to change that then, cause everyone loves to go shopping with me usually." I replied thinking about my past friends who said shopping with me was the best.
"Ha, that is what Alice and Rose said the first time they took me shopping!" Rose, that is the other sister, I wonder where she is.
"Really? And you still don't like to shop. Odd." It was indeed odd. I was destracted by my thoughts of Bella's not liking shopping by the ringing of a cell phone, I looked up and saw that Alice had a blank angry expression on her face and Bella looked worried. And out of no where and I mean nowhere was Edward, standing right beside Bella holding out his hand for her phone.
"Edward, he deserves an explanation, and I'd like to go see him." Bella said slightly sad. I wonder who he is, and what she did to him. Oh well, it isn't my business.
"No Bella, you know how I feel about him and how dangerous he is. He's just as dangerous as I am Bella, and you know that!" Edward Cullen, dangerous. He sure as hell don't look dangerous, he looks very kind and loving. But that's just my opinion.
I heard Alice cough beside me and looked over at her and so did Edward, but when he looked at her he started growling. Growling, I thought only dogs did that? I laughed at that. And for some reason so did Edward. Ya, definitely think he's a mind reader.
"what is it Alice?" Edward asked calmly but I could tell that he already knew what it was.
"well, Bella wants to see Jacob, and we can't go with her, but….what about Jen. I'm sure she'd love to meet someone other than 'us'." Why did she say 'us' weird? Oh well. I looked over at her and she was smirking at something, I don't know what but oh well. And why did I all the sudden get a warm feeling inside of me, kind of like something pulling me toward..toward..toward god knows what. This is one strange day.
Alice and Edward were having a stare off and Bella looked close to tears. I wonder why she's so upset, did she break this 'Jacobs" heart or something. She looked like she's had a lot of guys after her. I decided to do something about the sudden tension in the air so I spoke up.
"so, who's Jacob.?" I asked calmly. But unfortunately, it looked like no matter how calmly you spoke everyone was gonna tense at his name, but someone answered me anyways.
"Jacob is Jacob Black" Black…Black, it sounds very familiar. Oh well, I'll figure it out later. "He lives down by the beach with the rest of his pack." She said very quietly. Ok, I'm normally not one to pry but she just sounds so sad I feel like I have to help her and this 'jacob' they keep talking about. But Jacob more than Bella. Which is odd seeing as how I don't even know him!!
Edward spoke up somewhat reluctantly "I guess taking Jen wouldn't be so bad, but only for a few hours!"
"YAY!!! Thank you honey I love you so SO much. I'm gonna call him back and tell him we'll stop by Monday after school, oh. Is this alright with you Jen, I'm sorry I didn't even ask you if you wanted to go" I looked over at Alice and Edward and they both had smirks on there face for some reason. Ya odd family, but sure I guess I'll go.
"ya I'll go, it'd be nice to meet some new people around here I guess" I said seeming slightly happier at the thought of meeting Jacob. I wonder why, his last name sounds familiar. I sat in thought trying to figure it out why Bella went to make her phone call. Since she ignored the last one.
She came back seeming happier and lighter than when she left, he must be a good friend of hers. But Edward and Alice still seemed depressed so I suggested we go get some ice-cream. They didn't have to know that I was actually starving to death. But at the mention of food Edward and Alice seemed to jump and looked like they just remembered something really important. And Edward stared at Bella with a disapproving look on his face.
After me and Bella downing 3 ice-cream cones each and Edward and Alice making up some excuse of they weren't hungry or I don't like ice-cream we left.
I looked down at my watch and it said 4:56 p.m. it was getting rather late and I did have school tomorrow so I guess we better start heading that way I mentioned to everyone and they all agreed so we started home.
The ride home was almost all silent, even Alice was silent but she seemed to be concentrating on something so I didn't even bother. I just sat in the comfort of my own thoughts.
Right before we got to my house Bella spoke up sounding cheerful again. "Do you want me to pick you up tomorrow since we are going straight to Jacob's house after school. I really wanted to drive my new truck but I guess I'll live.
"sure that sounds great thanks." And we pulled into my front yard, and I saw a FedEx guy getting into his truck, and I remembered that my PC was supposed to come today, that must have been it! Yay!. Perfect timing to get home.
"well thank ya'll so much for showing me all the stuff you did today, and I'm looking forward to seeing you all again tomorrow, but if you would excuse me, that guy leaving just dropped off my new computer, so I will be going now." I said laughing to myself
Everyone said a cheerful goodbye and Bella said she'd be here at 7:30 to pick me up tomorrow.
As I stepped onto the front porch I saw it. The package. Also known as my PC, in a box I laughed to myself. I picked up the very huge package and carried it up to my room. Damn this thing is heavy I thought to myself.
I got it up the stairs plugged it in and got everything situated on my desk. And I saw a brand new cordless phone on my desk as well, dad must of got it and plugged it in while I was out.
I heard the door open downstairs and ran down the steps faster than I thought possible and hugged my dad as hard as I could to thank him for everything.
"glad you liked it" he said laughing slightly "Like it!! I love it!!" I seemed to be saying that a lot lately.
"what about your phone, I figured you'd need one and all so I went and got you one, I hope you liked it too. Or loved it rather" he chuckled
"yes dad, I loved it too."
"oh and hey dad, Bella wants to take me to her friend's house his name is Jacob Black? You heard of him?"I asked cautiously not sure on what he thought of me going to another guys house.
"Black, ah yes. He's a good kid, his dad is a close friend of mine actually, me, his dad, and Charlie Swan all go fishing a lot. Charlie Swan is the chief of police and Bella's dad."
"oh, ok..well I guess that makes sense, she said she'd pick me up at 7:30 tomorrow and we'd go tomorrow after school. If that is alright with you?"
"sure go and have fun, plus you'll probably be to tired to do much after your first day at school here at Forks."
"Maybe, but I'm gonna go get ready for bed and hit the hay since it's already 9, and you just have to make me go to school tomorrow" I joked with him and kissed his cheek. I'll mess around on my computer when I get home tomorrow.
A/N: ok, so it wasn't exactly a Bella and her thing it was more of a her and Alice thing, lol..oh well, I didn't expect her to be meeting Jacob so soon in my story but it seemed to fit so whippy :D lol..
