PLUS!!!! I've decided!!!! Team…………………………………………….
Chapter 6
The next morning was sunny as well. I went to school, extremely cheerful, ready to face the day. I walked into English, a smile on my face, and sat down. This happened in all my classes, and as the day went on, I noticed that the Cullens weren't there. My happiness slowly faded away until I came to lunch. I was about to sit at the table by myself when Jessica came up to me and asked, "Hey, you wanna sit with us today?"I nodded graciously and followed her to her table. I sat to her left, waiting for the constant babble to begin. She turned and began talking. I ate as I pretended to listen (or hear, for that matter), nodding my head every now and then. I ate quick, wanting to go to the library before lunch ended and to get away from everyone's stares.
When I finished, I looked at Jessica, and when she stopped to take a breath, said, "Hey, I'm done and I need to go to the library, so I'll see you later, okay?"
She nodded and said, "Okay! See you later, Bella!"
I stood up and hurried away, throwing away my trash. I unsuccessfully ran up the stairs to the library. I walked in, rubbing my new bruises, and headed for the computer. I sat down, signed in and checked my email. There were a few messages from my mom. I quickly replied and logged off. The bell still hadn't rang, so I began looking around, trying to find something good to read.
I headed towards the fiction, eyes scanning titles. One caught my eye, so I picked it up and opened it, a note falling out. I picked up the note and read it, my eyes going wide. Someone had been passing it to someone else, obviously, and it mentioned my name. I began reading the whole thing.
Hey! Whatsup?
The sky. Nothing much, just doing my math.
I hate this class. Why did we have to take it?
IDK, it could be to torture all the students.
YEP! That's it!
Gosh, why does that Bella girl have to be so smart? She's in my English, Biology, and my Art classes. She's so smart and is such a teacher's pet.
I know! Isn't she going out with Edward Cullen? Apparently not. Jessica told me that she said they were just friends. But Cullen does seem to show some interest. Why her? She's so plain! Yeah, she should wear some make up, or something! She needs to dress better too! Her clothes are so homeless! Yeah! I think that's why that Alice Cullen is her friend. She is a fashion pity! I stopped instantly, throwing it in the trashcan next to me. Why did these two girls care? I dressed the way I did because I want to! I'm smart because I try to be! It's not something to make fun of. My mother always told me, "You bully or talk about someone badly because they're smart and one day, they'll be your boss." I took that to heart. Sure, I didn't want to be a boss, but I wanted to be successful. I wanted to be great at something, even though I'm different.
I sighed, putting the book back and left just as the bell rang. I hurried through to Biology, noticing that the sun was still out. I decided when I got home, I would go outside for a while. I about skipped the rest of the way to Biology.
When the bell rang, I hurried outside to get to the art building. I walked out the door, expecting sunlight, but what came was rain. I groaned and pulled my hood up, protecting my hair and hearing aids. I slumped to art, mumbling sadly about the rain, but when I opened the door and saw the little pixie called my best friend sitting in her seat, I smiled, happy once more. I sat down next to her and hugged her.
"ALICE!" I said excitedly. "Where were you today?""It was sunny for once, so we went on a hike. Carlisle was listening to the news on the radio, and when it said it was going to rain later today, we came back. We could've stayed home, but I came, because I want to spend my favorite class with my best friend!"
"Thanks!" I said, and she hugged me once more. We got started on our assignments, drawing and talking about random topics. We began to talk about shopping, for some absurd reason, and Alice declared that she wanted to go shopping with me again. I told her I would, but I would spend my own money. We argued about that, and in the end, she was going to buy me one thing. We were both happy with the compromise.
The bell rang to soon, sending Alice home and me to Music Club. I took my seat in the front and when Angela and Eric came in, they took their seats next to me. We began talking about Jon Smidt's song, Waterfall, when the door opened and in walked the person who had been on my mind all night long.
Edward.
He saw me and came over, sitting next to me. I stared at him for a second before turning back to Angela and talking to her once more. We were talking about the middle of song, where the right hand crosses over the left with lightning speed, when I heard someone say, "Hello."
I turned to Edward and said, "Hi."
"Sorry if I seem like I've been ignoring you. I had a bad week last week and hope for your forgiveness."
"There's nothing to forgive. I understand." I said, smiling and turning back to Angela, who was looking at me with her eyebrows raised.
"How was your first week, Bella?" he asked.
I turned back and said, "It was great, thank you."
He smiled, and said, "So you enjoy playing music? What do you play?"
"Guitar, and the basics of piano.""Really? I play piano, too," he said, turning and looking at the object in front of him. "What level are you on?""Level 3."
"Really? What's the hardest thing you've played lately?"
"Fur Elise, but it's the simplified version."
He chuckled and said, "And that's hard?"
"Hey! I can't-" I stopped myself before saying the rest of that sentence. I can't hear it! You try to play without ever hearing it! Oh, yeah, that would've been smart. "Do the fingering right. My hands are small." I put up my hands, as if to prove my point.
He looked at me funny and said, "Okay." I could tell that he didn't believe my lie, but he didn't press the matter. I turned back to Angela, worry beginning to fill me. Did he know?
We spent the rest of music completely ignoring each other. When she let us go, I hurried out the door, straight to my truck. I opened the door and climbed in quickly, putting the key in the ignition and throwing my seat belt on. I turned the key, pushed the gas pedal and left.
The drive home relaxed me, letting my earlier worry fade. He didn't say anything, so I thought I was fine. I went into the driveway and parked, grabbing my bag. I climbed out and locked the car door. I proceeded up the walkway when out of the corner of my eye, I saw a car pull up. I turned to see a very excited Alice in the passenger seat.
I smiled and walked over to the car. She rolled down the window and said, "Can you hang out right now?"
"I think so. Charlie won't be home for a while."
"Okay, thanks for the drive, Edward!" she said, climbing out of the car.
"Hey, Edward," I said waving at him. I was trying to be polite.
He nodded and hit the gas, speeding away.
"Just ignore him. He's being Edward," Alice said, grabbing my arm and pulling me to the front door. I pulled out my key and opened it, letting Alice in. She walked into the living room at ease and I closed the door. I walked into the kitchen and started on dinner quickly before we headed upstairs.
We walked upstairs and first thing Alice did was go straight to my closet. She opened the door, a gasp escaping her lips. "You have almost no clothes!"
"Just because my closet is 1/20th of yours doesn't mean I don't have clothes."
"It's still so bare," she explained, pursing her lips in frustration. "Please let me buy you more clothes!"
"No-" I began, but then she looked at me, an extremely well done pout on her face, making me feel like a monster for refusing. "Fine," I sighed in defeat, "But no going over 100 dollars."
"200." Pout.
"Fine!"
She let out a triumphant cry and hugged me. I hugged her back, smiling. She pulled away and began going through my clothes, putting outfits together and educating me. She asked if I had a poster anywhere, so I went downstairs into the basement and grabbed one (I have a stash down there for school). I also gave her a marker, and she made a chart for me, mixing and matching outfits. She taped it into my closet and then proceeded to drag me into the bathroom.
When I showed her my make-up collection, she gasped once more. "I'm getting you make up too." I was about to argue when she added, "No point in arguing, Bella. I will win all the same."
I sighed and nodded, admitting defeat. She smiled and then pulled her phone out of her pocket. She opened it and looked at it. She pushed a button to her ear and said, "Hello?"
She closed the phone a moment later and said, "Edward is here. He says it's time for me to go." We went down the stairs, going to the front door. She walked out, then turned and hugged me, saying, "I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"
"Yep! See ya!" I closed the door as they drove away and headed to kitchen to finish dinner.
Charlie came home half an hour later and we ate. When we finished, I washed the dishes, then went upstairs to do my homework. I finished my daily routine, and checked my schedule for tomorrow, realizing I had 2 tests. Luckily, I knew all the information by heart, so I didn't panic. I changed into my pajamas and climbed into my bed. As I drifted off to sleep, I could swear I saw the window open slightly.
Okay!!! *wipes forehead* Now review!!! I want at least 10 before I update!
Anyway, I've decided TEAM EDWARD!!!!
Also, I'm thinking that I should redo EPIPHANY. If you want me to, then review and tell me! I would love if you would review!! They make my day and I really want some serious reviews coming.
PLUS!!! I want everyone to know that when they type a story to review and tell me. I will review every chapter, no flames!!! But please no M. I'm the molliest mormon out there and would rather avoid that.
School had started, so I can't update as soon as I did, but if you review, that would change that!!! Thank you!
