A/N: Yay! My dad decided to buy me a new charger. :) Soo happy! Anyway, in celebration, here's Back In Time, Part 2! I hope you enjoy it. :) Oh, and I have a snow day too! That's what happens when you live in the north country, ha. ;)

I wrote this while sitting in front of my fireplace, watching Pride & Prejudice (Keira Knightley Version) while eating Doritos and Cheez-its, and drinking Fanta,. Ah, pigging out much? Thank you guys for being so patient! I'll be writing more often and longer from now on; I just got a lot cleared from my schedule. :)

So anyway, enough about me! Onto Bella's story in the Bridges Universe.

Disclaimer: Everybody knows I don't own Twilight, right? Got it? Good. :)

Chapter Six – Back In Time: Part 2

Luckily, it was something that was comfortable… yet stylish. A pair of khaki shorts, a dark blue t-shirt, and matching blue flip-flops. I looked in the mirror to check that everything was good, my hair not the haystack it was this morning and my clothes not wrinkled. Alice chose my clothes well this morning, but I didn't get a chance to look at them before my shower. Looking at it now, it was something that was comfortable… yet stylish. A pair of khaki shorts, a dark blue t-shirt, and matching blue flip-flops. As soon as Alice saw me dressed in the clothes she laid out, she skipped to the cafeteria, throwing a "hurry up Bella!" over her shoulder.

Grabbing my books and bag, I walked out of the room.

Just when I checked my watch, some random chick came up and bumped into my shoulder, dropping all my books in the process.

I huffed, "Really?"

I heard a velvet laugh and turned to see Edward. He had a hint of playfulness in his eyes and an amazing crooked smile on his face. He must have been suffering from some weird mood swings; wasn't it just yesterday that he seemed miserable? And then today, completely out of now where, he's smiling and laughing at me? Damn dumb-a.

All my thinking ceased, however, when he looked directly and deeply in my eyes.

"You still haven't outgrown your clumsiness, I see, Isabella," he teased.

I snorted, a good heavy sound. "Obviously not, Eddie."

Instead of reacting angrily, like he would at hearing his 'nickname,' he just laughed.

I bent down to pick up my books but he was ahead of me, books in hand in a neat pile by the time I stood upright. I sighed, "What do you want, Edward?"

"What? Can't I just say hi to an old friend and carry books for her?"

I snorted again. "No. Not when you've hardly talked to her in what, four years?"

"I talked to you last night, didn't I?"

"No. No you did not. That hardly counts as a conversation."

"And what, pray tell, makes a conversation, a conversation?" He looked at me raising one eyebrow, urging me to continue.

"Each participant speaking more that, what, four sentences? And having a real issue to talk about. And probably not one-word answers or questions. We haven't communicated in years, Eddie. Admit it."

His green eyes visibly darkened, became sadder and somewhat angry. "Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating."

I glowered and the light came back into his eyes. Seeming satisfied at my change in mood, he walked away, his graceful long legs taking him across campus.

But before he left, he shouted one thing.

"Miss you, treehouse buddie!"

"Nurghh," I moaned once I got home, a ton of books in my bag and binders in my hand. The week passed by slowly. Too slowly for my liking. Every class seemed to drag by slowly. My week was made all that much better by seeing Edward daily and not seeing Aaron at all. I kept putting off calling him saying he was just out of town, or something. Alice burst into the room, an uncharacteristic frown on her face.

"Why do teachers have to give out so much homework? I mean, do they have a death wish?" Alice whined.

"Dun-know. Just get ready so we can go get Jazz and Em."

"Nuh-uh, Bella. I'll get ready when I want to get ready!" Her voice rang out, a serious expression on her face and her small hands on her petite waist.

I was almost fooled. Until she started giggling.

"Jeez, Bells. You're such a pushover, sometimes. I love you!" She hugged me and skipped out into the hallway.

"Ohhh-kay." I threw on a hoodie and some white tennis shoes and tried to walk out the door without Alice noticing.

"Bella," she frowned disapprovingly.

"Fine," I pouted.

Walking back in, I got on a pair of skinny jeans, white flats, and a plain blue tee. I even put on a white beaded necklace, just for the heck of it. Alice would approve. I walked back out, twirling around, showing her my outfit.

"Good," was all she said.

I laughed and followed her out the double doors to Jazz's dorm room.

Jasper's room was the basically the same as ours, only it was a two-bed. He shared it with Edward as Emmett had a 'girlfriend to entertain.' Being Rose's brother, he didn't want to see Emmett feeling Rose up and vice versa for Rose with Emmett in our room. Instead, Em got a single room, as most everybody was scared of him and his big-bear exterior.

"Hey Jazz!" Alice sang.

"Hey babe. Bella," he nodded to me, grabbing Alice around the waist.

He suddenly look nervous. "Um, Bella… Edward's going to the movie…"

I blinked. "What?"

"Edward… he's going… y'know… to the movie?" He made it sound like a question.

"Why?"

"Uh, he asked to come?"

"And you said yes?"

"No… I didn't," he looked accusingly at Alice.

"Alice!"

"Bella, it's just one movie. Besides, it won't be that bad," she looked slightly panicked at my angry outburst.

"Fine," I said through clenched teeth.

"I'm going to go get Em."

I cleared my face of any emotion and walked out to Emmett's dorm, seething the entire way.

I barged into his room practically shouting "Come on Em! We need to–"

Until I took in the sight before me; Emmett in his boxer shorts and Rose half naked, hair a mess.

"I – Oh! Sorry!" I rushed out of the door and ran, ignoring the shouts Emmett and Rosalie were throwing at me. I realized that I unconsciously ran back to Jasper's dorm when I arrived there to find them gone.

Edward, however was still there, his back towards where I was standing with my back against the door. I watched him move around the apartment, completely unaware of me there, watching him.

Suddenly, he turned around. Once he caught my eye, he smirked.

"Enjoying the show, Bella?"

"I – oh, yeah. Definitely, Edward." He just laughed. "Well… carry on, Eddie. Don't mind me, I'm just waiting for Jazz and Alice to get back."

"Oh. They didn't tell you? Em and Rose just canceled – it's just you and me now. How's that sound, old friend?" His old smile, my favorite crooked grin, made an appearance for the first time in five years.

I sighed, "Well, let's get going, tree-house buddy."

So Snow Days are amazing; expect a lotduring December-April. I love snow! Anyway, I've got to go shovel the sidewalk. Luckily my dad has a plow on his truck, so I don't have to shovel my huge driveway! Haha.

Anyway, you know what to do!

Review and I might just update. :)
