Disclaimer: i do not own Twilight.
So what I've been hiding from Edward Masen for about 3 days. So what?
Its been a strong I would say, although I cried for hours, after that night at the carnival feeling like a total and complete slut. But its okay now I would say. I haven't cried, and I don't feel like a total slut today. I have my game face on, I have been in every girls restroom on campus and every janitors closet to avoid Edward. I never realized how small this school was.
"I need to buy you a new charm for your charm bracelet." Alice noted as she walked me to my next class. She was talking about the bracelet that has been on my left wrist since I was 13, the same year I got high with Tyler my neighbor, for my first and last time.
"I think I would like a peace sign this year, I -" I was cut off by the familiar, bronze blur I saw from the corner of my eye. I froze, realizing Edward Masen must be just down, the hall, coming my way. I froze realizing I had sex with Edward Masen, because he asked for cotton candy nicely, I realized I felt like a total whore again. I bit my lips and gripped on to my charm bracelet. "Code red." Alice muttered, realizing too, that Edward was coming this way, with some friends. I didn't even bother looking at him. It was disgusting how beautiful he was. I turned on my heal abruptly, changing my direction, and literally running away from Edward.
"Wha-" heard Alice mumble as I walked the other way, leaving her behind. I looked back at her apologetically, she had her small arms in the air, her eyes narrowed.
"Sorry." I mouthed, and I turned back to the direction I was running to, and tried to remember the nearest janitors closet. Yeah it was nowhere near. I put my hand through my hair, and looked for my next option. Girls room. I dodged into the first one I saw, taking a deep sight of relief once I was in and out of Edward Masen reach.
"Bella you okay?" A familiar sweet voice, asked. Angela was fixing her hair in the mirror, her eyes filled with concern. I bit my lip and blushed at the fact that I probably looked like a complete lunatic.
"Yeah." I nodded, and fixed the charm bracelet on my wrist.
"Oh you look scared." She eyes me worriedly.
"No, I'm fine." I giggled.
"Okay." She laughed softly.
"How are you lately?" I asked.
"Good and you?" She smiled.
I had sex with Edward Masen.
"Good." I smiled.
The bathroom doors flew open and an angry little Alice appeared before me her eyes narrowed and her little arms folded in front of her.
"Hey Ali-" Angela topped mid sentence, looking at Alice's rigid pose.
"I had to say hi to Jasper Hale." Alice glared at me.
"So." I said.
"So, it was horrible! I don't make you say hi to Edward Masen." She grumbled and moved in front of a mirror, to check her hair.
"Alice, I couldn't stand there, you should have followed me." I shrugged and Angela decided it wasn't her business, and waved bye to me as she walked out of the bathroom.
"They asked why you were running." Alice murmured as she applied a fresh new layer of lip gloss on her lips. I watched her eyes carefully.
"What did you say?" I said very slowly, watching her.
"I said I didn't know." She mumbled.
"You are a horrible best friend you know that?" I laughed.
"I'm sorry, Jasper Hale stopped to freaking talk to me. All thoughts thrown out the door." She put her lip gloss back in her purse. It was the purse I got her for her birthday. It was rasta, her mother enjoyed that.
"He said he liked my shirt." Alice squealed turning to face me completely.
"I would to." I said raising an eyebrow like a perv.
"Shut up." She playfully slapped my arm.
"So are they gone?" I went back to my escape plan.
"Well yeah, long gone now." She nodded. "I should have told Edward to wait for you outside the girls restroom." She giggled.
"Don't even play like that." I put my head in my hands and we walked out of the girls room, and into the hall of Forks High. Not much people were in the halls, it was lunch, and sometimes, Alice, and myself would eat in the hall ways by my locker, just because it seemed just a bit more fun. And while we would sometimes eat in the cafeteria, Mike would walk by, or maybe even Tyler, and I would think back to a time, when they were options. They were options even Eric was an option, even Tommy Jackson, was a an option. One of them would walk on by, and wave or give me a friendly smile, that I would take as a good or bad thing, and walk on by. I could have stopped and said 'hey take my cotton candy before Edward Masen does!' I could have couldn't I? I put my hand in my back pocket, as we walked back to my locker.
"Mary Alice!" A voice called form behind us.
"Alice!" It called again, and Alice turned to look behind her, and Tommy Jackson was jogging up, a smile on his face and hers. It still looked a lot like Jasper Hale for a moment, and I wondered if I was the only one who realized this.
"Hey Tommy." Alice smiled.
"Hi Tommy." I wave.
"Hey Bella." He smiled back.
"So Alice, I was wondering if you wanted to go to a movie with me this weekend." He blurted out and I felt my cheeks go red, I felt I wasn't suppose to be here while he asked.
"Sure." Alice smiled, and I didn't know why I felt so surprised, I mean Tommy was a good looking fellow, had good grade, was a nice boy, his father owns an auto shop in town. Come to think of it, Tommy was the only non douche bag at our school. Kudos to him.
"Really?" He eyed her and his voice went up an octave, I muffled my laugh with a cough. Alice turned to glare at me, and I looked away hurriedly. Muffling another laugh with a cough.
"Yeah." Alice's voice was sincere.
"Alright. I'll talk to you more about it later then." Tommy's voice now sounded smooth and sensual.
"Okay." Alice whispered and I could imagine the light blush on her cheeks.
"Bye Bella." Tommy said. I turned to face him and Alice was looking at me as well, and the same blush I imagined was on her light cheeks.
"Bye Tommy." I smiled, and he was off.
"Alice has a date." I sang, like a 5 year old once Tommy was out of hearing range.
"Shut up." Alice rolled her eyes. I was about to respond to Alice, when the voices of the devil's daughters were heard, with all there chattering and whispering they do, their evil eyes looking for new topics to attack, and ruin, sabotage even. They made me sick to my stomach, and sometimes I felt absolutely violent for the thoughts I think when they are near. Alice heard it too. I just heard three words, come out of their mouths, and I felt like collapsing on the hall way round. Not caring how sticky or dirty it was.
"Bella."
"Edward."
"Carnival"
Jessica chatted to Lauren, the blonde bimbo next to her. Like they couldn't see me or Alice standing directly next to them, starring them down head to toe, wondering how or when they heard this. I was beginning to think maybe Edward didn't tell anyone, but he's a douche, I should have known better.
"Bella, I know you had fun at the Carnival." I heard Jessica giggle finally acknowledging my presence right beside her. All four of us had stopped walking now, and faced each other completely. I tried to be one with the duck before responding to her comment. Her stupid, stupid comment. I mean everything was going fine today, it was easier than I had expected, and my paranoia was wearing off, and I was feeling better. Maybe not about the whole having sex with Edward thing, but the whole, everyone knowing thing. I thought maybe he would have kept it our little secret, of course I was wrong. I mean I can only ask of so much right?
"And how would you know that Jessica?" I tried to pretend I didn't care what simple response she would give, like my charm bracelet was more important. . When really I was counting the second for her reply, gripping my charms for dear life.
"I hear you gave Edward you're cotton candy." She whispered, and bother her and Lauren giggled.
"Nope." I lied, tears swelled up in my eyes and I felt Alice grip my arms gently, and even though it hurt, I knew it was suppose to be in comfort.
"Oh really?" Lauren said, obviously not believing my answer. I felt like punching her in the face.
"Because that came from Edward Masen him self." Jessica stated. I froze and all the blood rushed to my face. My heart began to race and I felt like throwing up all over the hall, but I don't think my partner Alice would appreciate that much, so I hold it in. I knew this would happen. Mary Alice was wrong, all wrong. Edward was way ahead of his game, he was making sure everyone knew. What had I gotten myself into . Why did I say yes?
"So its true?" Jessica gasped, along with Lauren, and I didn't reply.
"Slut." I heard Lauren mutter, and Jessica mumbled something rude to go along with her insulting comment.
"Shut up." I hissed at both of them, and walked away quickly pulling Alice with me, trying to forget the whole thing that just happened. Had I just confirmed this rumor? This oh so true rumor?
I should have ignored them and walked right past them, but no. I stopped, and by the end of the day everyone in Forks high will know, I gave Edward Masen my cotton candy.
I hid my head in my locker, trying my hardest to pretend, I hadn't had sex with Edward Masen.
I can hardly understand my decision. The decision I made only a days ago at the Carnival. I can almost see why I said yes, but its still not clear, so I am trying to block it out. Maybe I can even force myself to believe my name is Texas, and I don't live here in Forks anymore. I squeezed my eyes shut as my head hid this dark locker, that smelled like strawberries. Alice had sprayed in here on Friday, claiming my locker reeked of old gym clothes, and now I would say it reeked of whore. That's what I felt like. A whore. A dirty whore, who fell for Edward Masen's charm, even though he basically straight out asked me if I wanted to have sex with him. Point is, I said yes. Therefore I Bella Swan, am a whore and now because of the devil's daughters (Jessica and Lauren), the whole school knows, and they secretly taunt me as they whisper and stare at me.
"Bella!" A high pitched voice chirped. It startled me and I jumped, hitting my head at the top of my locker, searing pain shot through me.
"Ow!" I groaned, pulling my head out of my locker immediately, and putting my hand on my head.
"Oh sorry." Mary Alice apologized.
"Ow." I groaned again.
"You still having a bad day?" She had to ask.
"Yes." I moaned and turned so my back was leaning on the locker and slid down to my knees to sit. Alice sat next to me.
"You know what you did wasn't that bad." Alice tried to comfort me.
"I know that Alice. Its not what I did. Its who I did it with. AND now everyone knows!" I put my head in my hands, my charm bracelet stabbing my hand.
"Its not like it was Mike or something." Alice whispered.
"I know." I groaned. "I don't want to talk about it. I'm trying to forget it."
"Speak of the devil and the devil shall appear." Alice mumbled in a daze.
"Oh god is it Edward?" I squealed in terror, into my hands, that were now clutching my face.
"Yeah." Alice sounded sorry. "Just keep her head in your hands, he wont notice you then"
I heard his voice in the hall, but I kept my head in my hands. I couldn't stop myself from listening intently to what he was saying as he passed. His voice was still like velvet, smooth and slick, just like any guy who could seduce you with a simple question's voice would sound.
"You want more baby?" He whispered in my ear.
That voice whispered nothing but dirty inappropriate, hot, lustful words in my ear. That was probably the most we have ever talked. And just thinking about it made me feel like a filthy whore.
Alice stayed quiet as his voice became louder, meaning he was getting closer, and closer.
"Hey Mary Alice." What I would guess was Jasper Hale's voice, calling to Alice. Damn it, that meant they both would look over towards Alice and the girl who had her head in her hands, that goes by Bella, but is thinking of changing her name to Texas. Yeah me.
"Hey Bella." His velvet voice was smooth and soft. I pulled my head out of my hands to look up at him, and those bright green eyes, stared at me, with emotions I couldn't even identify, so I didn't even go there. His hair looked its usual sexy mess, and he walked with confidence, tall and proud. I cant blame him. With those looks he should be walking that way.
"Hey Edward." I wave, then I recap and realize, me waving had to be one of the stupidest things I have ever done. I looked down at me knees and blushed.
I had sex with you
I had sex with you
I had sex with you
I had sex with you
Oh my goodness I had sex with you.
Was all I could think as he passed me, and I could only imagine Alice drooling over Jasper.
"I wish Jasper would ask for my cotton candy." Alice sighed once they were past us, and their back's were turned to us.
"Oh I bet you do." I laughed.
"Feeling better?" Her eyes lit up and she seemed hopeful. I just rolled my eyes.
"Bella, it will be okay. Everyone will get over it by next week." She assured me.
"You think?" I asked, scratching my arm, and examining the indent my charm had made in my hand.
"Yeah, and I saw this really cute charm at the mall the other day, that would look fabulous on your charm bracelet." She noted, and stood up gracefully from the cold floor. Then putting out a hand for me to use as support to get up. I took it gratefully and stood up straight.
"What was it?" I asked straightening out my shirt.
"You'll have to wait and see." She smiled.
"Alice, I hate surprises." I shook my head at her.
"But you love me." She clapped her hands together, and closed my locker for me. "Now I'll go get you lunch."
"Thank you.." I smiled up at her.
"Your welcome, I know you would do the same thing." She sighed.
