Chapter 3

Anywhere But Here

Bella and Edward both go to forks high, they can't stand each other. But over the summer there parents both send them to the same summer camp and by coincidence have those both put into the same activities and dorm room. A lot can change over the three months of summer. Feelings are shared, bets are made and they both learn a lot about each other. Like the saying goes you always find love when you're not searching for it, and in the most unexpected places.

Bella POV

Driving home from school after the argument with Edward left me feeling really angry I mean who is he to go judging me like that. The guy has some screwed up idea in his head that he's god's gift to women or something; I just had to say what I really thought of him. I hope I didn't offend him. Not that I care or anything but he just need to know what I thought of him.

When I got home I went straight up to my room and started working on bio homework. I figured if I finished it now then I won't have to work on it in the next lesson. A few hours passed and I heard a car in the drive way. So I came out of my room and saw my mum René walking in the house with shopping bags. I walked over to her and grabbed a few out of her hands and placed them on the kitchen counter, by quickly looking in the bags I saw a lots of organic foods, Renee is trying to decrease our daily intake of fat and carbohydrates so she's been buying heaps of vitamin and mineral filled foods. Renee has always been one to try new things. From foods to leisure activities like yoga and palates.

It wasn't often I had one on one time to talk with mum so I thought I'd use our amount of time together to chat . I've been needing to ask her about our plans for the summer break which starts next week and I really don't want be left doing something I don't want. Rene was putting all the shopping away so I thought I'd start talking.

"Hey mum I was just wondering have you had made any plans for summer break yet?"

"Oh honey shoot, is that next week, I was hoping I'd have more time to prepare you "

"Yeah its next week. And what should I be prepared for?"

"Aren't we going to do something together? I mean we don't get to spend much time together because you're always away with Phil and I was hoping we could be together this summer ".I said sounding as hopeful as I could.

I hadn't spent summer with mum in years since Phil came along. I mean I like Phil but sometimes I feel like he see's my mum more than I do, me her own daughter.

"Well Bella speaking of Phil, he has a trial for some baseball team in Los Angeles and he wanted me to go with him for support , and I kind of already told him yes , but no need to worry I have made plans for you "

"Mum what do you mean you made plans for me; please don't send me to stay with Cha...Dad again "

"No honey I'm not sending you to stay with your dad but I am sending you to Forks , there is this summer camp they have there and I enrolled you to stay there for the summer , you get to stay in dorm rooms and do fun activities everyday. I just feel like I leave you alone too much so I enrolled you there. I hope you're not mad?" mad is one word I could use for how I'm feeling. I'd say more betrayed.

Typical mum always putting herself first and never asking me what I want .Yeah just send me to some camp in Forks with no one I know and don't even tell me about it until 6 days before. I guess I'm pretty much screwed this summer. Forks summer camp here I come.

"Ah no why would I be mad this camp sounds like it will be fun filled and interesting". I said with sarcasm.

"Oh that's great honey, your reacting so much better than I was expecting".

If there was one thing about Renee that she didn't get it was sarcasm. I really took after Charlie in the personality area not overly giddy but really sarcastic. After my chat with mum I was just so annoyed she was shipping me of to some camp that I decided to just spend the rest of the night up in my room.

I fell asleep straight away it had really been a tiring and angry day for me. I was woken by my alarm clock at seven telling me to get up for school. Just four more days to till the weekend I thought. A few more day of happiness at school with Alice. I got to school and parked my ancient rust bucket of a car. My Chevy Ute, it was my birthday present from Charlie, when I spend the summer with him last year. I always got looks from kids when ever I drove my car because the motor was so loud, but today I really didn't care. I got out of the car and saw Alice waiting for me in the distance by the front office. I walked over to her, and was greeted by the biggest grin gleaming off her face.

"What are you so happy about on this fine day" I said sarcastically

"Jasper Hale looked at me before and I swear we had a moment of just staring at each other, it was amazing "

" Well Alice I think that's a big step from never looking at each other at the same time ,to staring at each other at the same time no wait I mean you looking at him and not getting a stare back " I said sarcastically . I really shouldn't take out my anger towards Renee on Alice

"No need for your sarcasm Bella. You're really running my moment. Now what's wrong with you, you seem whinier than usual "

"Sorry, ah its just Renee, I was hoping we would be spending the summer break together, but she cant she's going to Los Angeles with Phil and she's sending me off to some summer camp in Forks. "

"Oh that's not that bad Bella "

"And not to mention Angela wasn't at school yesterday so I had to partner up with Edward Cullen in biology. He ruined the whole experiment and then goes and tells me I take myself too seriously. So I just snapped at him and told him what I really thought of him.

"And what was that "said Alice in a questioning tone

"Well I just told him that I really get the impression that he doesn't seem to care about anything but himself and making out with different girls daily."

"Bella you really said that? "

"Yeah I did and then he goes and tells me I'm shallower than he thought and that he gets the impression that I wish I was one of those lucky girls. So I just got up out of my seat and told him that he can keep thinking that" I said.

"Geez Bella I was thinking something so much worse like you lost your trig text book "she said and then laughed at her own joke. Okay I deserved that dose of sarcasm from her.

"Very funny Alice"

"Bella you want to know what I think. I just think that this whole Edward situation has got you all angry and now with this camp situation your being really mad about something that's not even that bad".

"How bad could it be, I mean yeah so you go to a camp were you know no body, that could be good in a way." she said with "the I have a plan" look on her face.

"Alice I don't see how that is a good thing , oh wait I know what your up to Alice and it's not going to happen , your not going give me a make over and send me to camp looking like one of your make over's gone skank .

"Bella you don't give me the credit I deserve, when have I ever made you look like a skank?"

"Ah let me think last Halloween, I swear I heard someone call out who ordered the prostitute, when I walked into the party at your house and I wasn't even doing it because I had no costume and people thought I was dressed up for Halloween .It's Not happening Alice what ever ideas you have brewing in that head of yours are not happening" I said annoyed

" Okay fine but , you need to at least let me go shopping with you for some summer clothes , you can't be wearing pants and long sleeves when it's a summer camp " she said and did the quotation marks above her head .

Then she did the ever so famous Alice pout and I could never say no to that.

"Fine but I have a say in what we buy"

"Deal" she said and extended her hand for me to shake it.

I shook her hand said goodbye and we went off to my lesson. I had English first up, I walked into the class and was greeted like usual by the ever so overly friendly Mike Newton. When is this kid ever going to take the hint?

"So Bella what have you got planned for the summer break, because I was wondering if you would want to come with me and my family to Boston? "He said smiling. Thinking I'd say yes

Is this guy seriously in his right mind, inviting me to go interstate not only with him but his whole family aswell. Just be gentle he's in denial and clueless. In his brain he's probably imagining me walking down the aisle to him. I shook my head away from the thought and shivered.

"Ah sorry Mike, I kind of have plans for the summer already "I said holding back a smile.

"Oh do you, what are they?" He said curiously, I think he has taken notice of how I always have plans when he asks me out. I swear he can't take a hint.

"I'm going to Forks summer camp".

"Oh I see, well maybe next time" he said with a half smile

"Yeah I guess so ". I said looking as sad as I could without showing how happy I was.

Mike had the biggest grin on his face after I said that. He has no idea how low his chances are.

After I got away from the Mike situation I took a seat next to Angela. I'm so glad that she's back at school today , I don't think I would have survived if I had to sit alone for a whole day again , and that doesn't include biology yesterday .

"You know you really shouldn't get poor Mike's hopes up like that, you could really break his heart" said a velvety smooth voice with a hint of sarcasm.

I turned around and saw Edward sitting with Emmett behind me they were both laughing at Edwards's smart ass comment, holy crow I forgot he was in my English class. I wasn't going to let him get away with saying something like, so I bit my tongue and in the most sarcastic tone I could said something that I knew I was going to regret.

"What makes you think, I'm let him get his hopes up to be disappointed , I mean maybe I don't want to break his heart , maybe I want his heart" I said with a grin . Let's see what comeback he has for that.

When I said that Edward and Emmett both stopped laughing and looked at me with their mouths open in utter shock.

I knew that would get them .So I turned around in my seat to face Angela who was watching in amazement at how I handled it. I thought I'd give them both some time to let my words sink in.

"Hey Angela it's so good that your back at school today, are you feeling better?"

" Ah yeah I am Bella thanks for asking , I had a throat infection but I've got some medication and that's helped heal it , it still hurts when I talk though so if I don't talk much you know why" she said in a strained voice .

"So how was biology without me yesterday, I feel so bad for leaving you with no partner"

Just before I spoke I decided to turn around and look behind me, when I did I noticed that Edward had directed his attention to me and he had a small smile playing on his lips. He wants to hear my answer I just know it, he will be listening I mean his head popped up from his work as soon as Angela mentioned biology. But since we're playing games, I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of hearing it.

"Oh Angela, I don't want to bore you talking about school work, we'll talk about it at lunch later. So how are you and Ben Going?" I believe the score is Bella one and Edward nil .I guess he will never know the answer to that. He was so curious to hear what I was going to say but why.

I turned around in my seat and noticed that he had a smirk playing on his lips, but this time his head was down working. Emmett noticed me turn around and he tapped Edwards arm.

I turned back around in my seat to face the front, and then hear whispers behind me.

"Emmett why did you nudge me?" Edward whispered.

"Isabella the girl in front turned around in her seat and was staring at you, I think she was going to ask you something but then she turned back around" whispered Emmett. But it was loud enough for me to hear.

"Emmett. Firstly she prefers to be called Bella and secondly why are you telling me this" Edward said back in more of a whisper. He remembered what I told him about my name. I thought and then smiled.

The lesson went by really slow once Mr Mason arrived. We were doing Shakespeare which is my favourite topic to study, but not everyone seems to have the attention span to listen in English class. Emmett fell asleep, and his snores were so loud, that I couldn't even concentrate on what the teacher was saying; meanwhile Edward was in fits of laughter.

I just couldn't take it anymore so I turned around and snapped.

"Hey Edward you think you could wake Emmett up, I can't even hear myself think!" I said abruptly.
When I said that he stopped laughing and replied with a stupid answer.

"Emmett had football training all night last night he needs his sleep" he said with a smirk.

I swear he just gets a kick out of annoying me.

"Edward please just wake him, I can't hear the teacher and I haven't got any notes written down"

"Alright fine, but its not going to be easy, when Emmett sleeps he's dead to the world".

I wanted to see what Edward meant when he said it's not going to be easy. So I watched him try and wake Emmett.

He first started by elbowing him in the arm

"Em wake up, Em wake up. He whispered

Nothing. I guess he really meant it when he said dead to the world.

"Oh I know what ill do".

Edward got up out of his chair and just started shaking Emmett.

"Em, wake up, were in class man"

"Oh Rosalie, you know I like it when you do that … what huh Edward" said Emmett in a muffled voice.

After hearing Emmett sleep talking, I couldn't stop laughing. Who knew he liked Rosalie?

"What are you laughing at" said Emmett once he was wide awake.

"Oh nothing" I said and then turned in my seat back around to face the front.

From behind me I hear him say the same thing to Edward.

"Em, you fell asleep, she couldn't hear the teacher so she asked me to wake you up, then you started talking about Rosalie Jasper's sister , I didn't know you like her man " whispered Edward .

"Well yeah she's hot, but don't tell Jazz, she appears in my dreams every night" he said in a whisper.

I couldn't help but laugh at his last comment, before I blocked them out and concentrated on the teacher.

The lesson soon ended after Emmett's sleep talking episode. Then I head off to Spanish the lesson passed really fast I don't even remember what we learned and trig went by really fast too. Before I knew it, it was lunch.

While walking to the lunch room, I decided to go to my locker to put some books away. When I got there I was faced with quite a disturbing sight. Leaning on my locker was Edward lip locking with no one other than Lauren Mallory. They were really going at it too, if I didn't come and disturb them out of there make out session I don't know how heated it would have gotten.

"UH HMM" I fake coughed loud enough for them to hear.

Edward then unattached him self out of Laurens legs, which she had wrapped around him. Then he decided to speak.

"Yes" he said in a rude tone.

"Sorry to interrupt your little make out session but I kind of need to get to my locker and I cant when you guys are pressed up against it ". I said abruptly

"Oh sorry about that, just got a little bit carried away" he said with a smirk on his lips. Carried away more like nearly had sex all over my locker.

"You know Swan you really shouldn't be rude and just tell people to move when there kind of in the middle of something" said Lauren in her nasal tone. That's the most I've ever heard that bimbo speak.

"Well maybe you should do what ever it was you were doing somewhere where it's not disturbing the peace of other people Lauren!" I said in voice that was almost shouting.

"What ever Swan" she said and laid one last kiss on Edward before walking off. I noticed that his face screwed up when she kissed him. Ha sucked in Lauren it seems he's not that fond of you as you seem to think.

"Yeah bye" stupid bimbo bitch..

Edward just stood there looking at the ground after Lauren left.

"Ah I kind of need to get to my locker if you don't mind ". He was still standing in front of it.

He moved out of the way. I opened my lock put my books in and turned around and he was gone.

Then I made my way over to the lunch room I can't wait to tell Alice and Rose how my day has been so far.
