Bella's POV

Bella's semester ends on May 30th.

The next day I was feeling kind of happy and kind of down. I was happy because I get to study abroad in Volterra, Italy, and sad because I was going to have to leave my four best friends and my mom. I woke up early so I could find an outfit that was not designer.

So I dug up a pair of white booty shorts, a floral crop top, and a pair of brown heeled ankle boots. I carried a white cardigan over my I did my makeup. I did light to dark brown eyeshadow, applied blue cat eyeliner, curled my eyelashes, and coated them in mascara. I swiped pink blush across my cheeks. Then I put a pink pearl bracelet on my wrist, and put in my black diamond belly ring. I looked hot. I grabbed my backpack, said bye to mom and Phil, and ran out the door.

I stopped at Morghyn's house to see if she was still at home. I knocked on the door. Chris, Morghyn's brother, answer the door. As soon as he saw me his eyes widened. I had not seen him in almost seven months.

He looked me up and down, eyes lingering. He finally spoke, his voice deeper than usual.

"Hellllooo," he said smiling, "How can I be of service to you, m'lady?" he asked, raising one eyebrow.

"I'm here to see Morghyn," I replied.

"Who are you and why do you want Morghyn? I've never seen you here before…"

"Yes, you have seen me before." I answered.

"No, I haven't. I would have remembered a sexy chick like you," he said. I blushed.

"Wait," he said all out of a sudden, "Where have I seen that blush before? Bella!" he screamed as he pulled me into a tight bear hug.

"I gasp need to gasp breathe gasp," I gasped.

"Sorry," he said, as he stood me back on my feet, "Oh and Morghyn already left for school."

"Okay," I said as I walked down the steps, "See you around."

"Yes you definitely will," he replied. I felt him staring at me as I walked across Morghyn's lawn to Viola's house and walked in. Everyone was in the classroom except Viola.

We all talked and laughed until Viola came in and started class. We sat there, waiting for class to be over until Viola finally dismissed us. We grabbed our stuff and walked outside. I wanted to tell them I was moving and get it over with. I knew I was going to cry because I was close to them.

"I have some bad news," I said with a sad smile. "I'm going to a different school next year."

"Oh that's okay we still can have sleepovers at my house," Morghyn said.

"No," I said with tears in my eyes. "I'm going to school in….. Italy." I burst out crying as I pulled the girls in a group hug. We were all crying. Thank god I used waterproof makeup, eyeliner had taken forever to do..

"Why?!" Azalea asked.

"After we can back from the beach yesterday. I walked in the kitchen and saw Phil and Renee having sex on the kitchen counter," I said.

"Ewwwwww," they all said in harmony.

"I know and this is not the first time," I said, "I just want to give them some space."

So how about a sleepover the night before Bella leaves? A goodbye sleepover," suggested

Alexandria.

"Guys! I don't leave tell May calm down, but let's have a one tonight. " I said as the others nodded in agreement.

"Okay see you all later, bye," I said as ran to my house. I was going to miss them. I needed to get rid of stress, so I went online shopping. I ordered every color of hanging diamond for my belly ring. I bought mostly jewelry, makeup, shoes, and crop tops to show off my abs and ring. I spent maybe $10000 tops.

At about six o'clock that same night, I arrived at Morghyn's house with my night clothes and a sleeping bag. Her mom opened the door and said, "Come in Bella, the girls are upstairs." I ran upstairs and came across Chris in the hallway, and we shared this weird eye contact. Then he winked at me and smirked.

"Move, boy," I smiled and pushed him out of the way. Chris grabbed my arm above my elbow and looking me dead in my eyes with a wanting look. His hazel eyes locked onto my brown ones, and he smiled at with a toothy grin and let me go.

"See ya later, Bella" He said and ran down the stairs. I stood there looking at him as he left. He had knocked the breath out of me with just one looked, but he was Morghyn's brother. A scream of giggles startled me and brought me back to reality. I sighed heavily and continued to Morghyn's room.

"Hey Bella," they greeted me as I entered. I smiled.

"You okay? You look a little pale," Morghyn asked.

"Um. I tripped coming up the stairs," I quickly lied and laughed a little to play it off. They all laughed at me.

"How you trip coming up the stairs?" Scarlett giggled. I laughed and threw a piece of candy her. She retaliated and threw a pillow at me, and that started a pillow fight. We started laughing and squealing.

Then I heard the door slowly creep open, "Oh pillow fight," Chris said, "Can I join?" he asked with a grin.

Morghyn growled, "Chris, you're just trying to be nasty!" I looked at him and caught his eyes. He smiled, and I hid behind my hair.

"Get out boy!" Azalea said and threw a pillow at him. He closed the door before it hit him.

"I love you guys too!" we heard him call from outside.

Morghyn sighed, "He is so annoying!" I smiled and blushed. Damn, Morghyn is going to kill me. I like her brother.

We laughed and walked downstairs to grab more food. We played Just Dance on Wii, and watched movies and just enjoyed each other's company. It was fun. It was around 3:00 a.m. when everyone fell asleep. I laid awake in my sleeping bag on the floor. Through the darkness Morghyn's bedroom door slowly creaked open and Chris poked his head in.

"Bella," he whispered. I sat up in my sleeping bag and stared at him.

"What?" I hissed at him.

"Come here," he said, "Please." I sighed and slowly slid out of my sleeping bag. I made my way around the girls splayed in their sleeping bags all over the floor. Morghyn was asleep closest to the door. I stepped over her and she stirred a little and I held my breath, and slid out of her room.

"What?" I asked a little annoyed. A boyish grin split his face in two.

"I just wanted to talk to you," he said as he grabbed my hand and pulled me in his room. We sat on the floor and talked. After we had been talking for a while, he leaned over and kissed me. I gasped in surprise and he took the opportunity to shove his tongue in my mouth. I kissed him back and he pushed me onto my back, and softly kissed me for an eternity. I finally came to my senses and pushed him off me.

"No, stop! This is so wrong. Morghyn is going to kill me," I said as I ran my hands through my hair, trying to smooth it down.

"But I like you," He said and moved closer to touch me. I flinched away.

"No, Christopher. This is not right," I said and looked at him.

"Damn, I'm only Christopher when I'm in trouble," He sighed and looked at me solemnly, "Will you at least think about it, because I've liked you ever since you first walked in my room looking for Morghyn last year."

I looked at him, and buried my face in my hands. The bad part was that I liked him, too. I exhaled the breath I had been holding in, "Okay Chris, I will think about it but I'm not making any promises."

He smiled, "I will take that. All I can ask is that you think about." I slowly stood up and headed for the door.

"Oh Bella, why did you change so much? The old you was just fine for me," He said and smiled as I left out his room and closed the door behind me. I had turned the color of the ripest tomatoes. He liked me for me. He like me before and after. It made me smile, and feel warm and happy on the inside. I never thought someone could like me, fat, brace-face Bella.

I walked down the hall to the bathroom. I stood at the sink, and gazed at myself in the mirror. It was almost like I had the angel and the devil's advocate standing on my shoulders telling me thing. On one side I was thinking, what the hell are you doing Bella? He is Morghyn's brother. On the other side I was thinking about much I attracted to him, how much he makes me laugh, and how good the conversations we have are. After thinking about it, I still had no idea what I was going to door. I splashed my face with water, slowly walked back to Morghyn's room.

Morghyn was in the hallway and my heart stopped. "Where have you been?" she asked.

"Um... I had to go to the bathroom." I stuttered.

"oh okay, you had me worried for a second," Morghyn said with a smile, "Come on girl let's get back to sleep."

I nodded and followed her back in her room. I looked at Chris's closed bedroom door before I shut Morghyn's door. I grabbed my phone, as I slid in my sleeping bag it was after 6 a.m. I looked at again to make sure I was not crazy. I had been gone for 3 hours. I let out a deep breath and tried to sleep, and lay awake thinking about him. What in the hell was I going to do?
