We turned back to see all the new students standing before us. I looked at Angela, and she stared back. I shrugged, which meant that it was up to her. I turned back around to eat again.
I watched Angela from the corner of my eye, and I could tell that she was thinking about it. After a minute, she sighed and nodded. They all sat down.
"We didn't mean to be a burden on you, but there wasn't any other place to sit," Alice stated. Angela and I just stayed quiet.
"Hey Angela," we heard a timid voice from behind us. Angela and I just turned around to see Ben standing in front of us. I smiled and gave Angela a nudge out of her seat. She stumbled over to him, and she turned back to give me a glare. I just continued smiling.
"What's up," she said shyly. I turned back around to eat.
"I was just wondering, well, I was just wondering if you would like to go to the dance with me," he questioned. I smiled because I knew what she was going to say next.
"Yes," she said. "I'll go with you."
"Well, I was wondering if I could sit next to you," he questioned. I was so not expecting that. I never thought that he would do that. She better say yes though. This was her time to get to know him. She deserves someone like Ben.
"Um, sure," I replied. I smiled. She was finally getting together with him. I was so happy for her. Now all they need to do is go on the date together.
"I'll pull up a chair," he stated when he noticed that there weren't any other seats.
"I can move if you want," I whispered.
"No," he said as he pulled up his chair. "You should stay. It was you of course that got me the courage to ask her. I wouldn't ask you to leave."
"You did this," Angela questioned me with awe.
"I told you that you'd see," I whispered back with a smile. She surprised me by giving me a tight hug. I gasped in pain. She immediately pulled back.
"Are you okay," she whispered in my ear. I could tell that she was trying to make it so the others didn't hear, but I couldn't help that they might be a little suspicious. I nodded, even though I wasn't all fine. And she noticed, "Let's go." I shook my head.
"So what are your names," one of the men questioned. When I looked up, it was the muscular guy with black curly hair.
"I'm Ben Crowley," Ben greeted. I wouldn't doubt that he started first because Angela and I kept quiet. "And this is Angela Weber and Bella Swan." I just gave a quick smile to them before I started eating.
"Well, I'm Emmett," he introduced himself.
"I'm Rosalie," the girl next to him stated. She didn't seem too thrilled to be here, but she was probably going to be a model one day because of her looks.
"I'm Alice," Alice chirped. She seemed to be full of energy. "And this is my boyfriend, Jasper." We looked next to her to see a boy with blonde hair.
"And I'm Edward," the bronze haired guy said as he looked at me. I just stared back at him before I put my hair between us as I looked down.
After a moment, Alice asked, "So what do you guys like to do?"
"I like paintballing," Ben answered.
"That's sweet," Emmett stated. "Maybe we can join you sometime."
"That'd be cool," he answered.
"What do you like to do, Angela," Alice questioned.
"I love art," she answered. I smiled as I remember how beautiful her artwork is. It's the best that I've ever seen.
"Maybe we can see your artwork sometime," Jasper stated.
"That'd be great," Ben agreed before Angela could do anything. She usually didn't like anyone to see it besides me, but now I could see that Ben was going to be seeing them also.
"What about you Bella," Edward asked. "What do you like to do?"
"I like to read," I answered shortly. I was hoping that no one would ask any more questions of me, but I could see that there might be some.
"Do you and Angela like shopping," Alice questioned.
"It's alright," Angela answered. I hope that they wouldn't make me answer that question. I haven't gone shopping in a long time. The only time is for groceries if Victoria doesn't do it, and that isn't often.
"What about you Bella," Rosalie questioned when I didn't answer.
"I don't shop," I answered her. It was the truth, but they don't know the full extent of those words.
"Everyone shops, Bella," Alice snorted. I just looked at her. She looked back at me and started hyperventilating. "You go shopping, right?"
"For groceries every now and then," I replied. "Is that what you meant?"
"We're talking about clothes, Bella," Rosalie stated.
"Have you ever been to a mall," Alice questioned. I looked down and shook my head.
"Oh boy," Emmett sighed.
"You've never been to a mall," Alice screeched. I winced at how high her voice went. I didn't even think it could be that possible.
"That's it," Rosalie stated. "We're going to the mall."
