The cars zoomed around, all blurring into a colorful mass. I was waiting here for Jessica.
I had invited her to that restaurant in Port Angeles, what was it?
Bella Italy?
No, not that. La something...oh, yes!
La Bella Italia. The name reminded me of Bella...
"Hey, Mike!" Jessica's over-eager voice sounded in my head. Jeez, she was so loud. I'd be lucky if I didn't go deaf within 2 hours.
Resisting the urge to point out that she was half-an-hour late, I smiled feebly. "Hey, Jess."
We walked into the restaurant and quickly chose a booth. Jessica picked up the menu and scanned through it.
You see, I've decided to leave Bella alone. I don't know why. Why should I pine away for her when she won't even look at me? So then, the next day I decided to ask Jessica out on a date.
I was waiting outside the classroom. The bell had rung, and everyone was streaming then Jessica, stalked out of the classroom. She looked really pretty...
"Yo, Jess!" I greeted her. She looked at me.
"Mike." And then she turned to go.
I stopped her, and smiled quickly. "Um..Jess, I was wondering if you would like to come with me to Port Angeles? We could eat at that restaurant you were talking about."
Jessica smiled. "Like a date?"
"Yeah. So you'll come?" I asked.
"Of course! How about four'o clock?" She said, smiling eagerly.
"Sure."
And so here I am.
"Mike, do you want mushroom ravioli or not?" Jessica asked now.
"Uh...sure," I said. Jessica smiled, and told the waitress what we needed. I didn't even know the waitress was there.
We sat in awkward silence.
"So, um...where do you want to go to after we eat?" I asked.
Jessica's eyes brightened. "Maybe we could go to see that new movie..what was it called? The Amityville something... oh yes! The Amityville Horror. It's about this family that moves to a haunted house. It's really spooky! Lauren and Tyler saw it, and Tyler told me that Lauren totally fainted when Jodie DeFeo came on screen!"
I didn't know what she was talking about, so I zoned out.
I really wished that idiot Cullen was permanently erased from Bella's memory. And then we could have had a good life... but oh no, the Fates have to mess with my life till they resemble the burnt spaghetti strands that my mom found somewhere in the kitchen.
"Mike, are you listening or not?" Jessica snapped.
I snapped back to Earth. "Um...yes. You were talking about that TV show on Thursday, right?"
Jessica glowered at me. "No. As a matter of fact, I was talking about Bella!"
Oh great. Here we go again. It's always "Bella always was such a *" or "I never even liked her!" or some crap like that. Is Jessica a robot or what?
I said nothing. I know I should've apologized to her and said that she was my world or something like that, but something held me back.
Jessica's glower turned into a murderous scowl. "So you were thinking of her. So. So."
Seriously? She sounds so much like a parrot. I wanted to dump her there, but Mom's words echoed in my head.
"...you shouldn't tell a girl that you love her, and then the next moment, tell her that you don't like her anymore, especially when she has become very much in love with you. That's cruel..."
Damn. It was a dead end now.
At the moment, the waitress approached us with our food and I relaxed. Nothing more soothing than hot, delicious food. Yum.
Still glaring at me, Jessica dug into her food. I looked down. The waitress' name was Amber ( I saw it on the name tag. Duh.) and she smiled at me flirtatiously.
Jessica glared at her and Amber took that as a sign to leave us in peace.
We ate our food in silence. This really wasn't going well.
Jessica had gobbled up her food, and was now watching me like a hawk. How rude.
"So, Lauren told me that her dad got a job in Seattle! She wanted to move to Seattle that moment itself, but her mom told that she had to finish her studies first! How horrible is that, huh?" Jessica gossiped. Had she forgotten her rage at me? Amazing.
Oh goodness me. She's already gossiping. Her mouth is like a ...I don't know. Something that can't keep shut.
I felt sleepy, and I wanted to continue eating my delicious food. But Jess'd probably stab me with the knife and fork if I so much closed an eye for a second.
"...and then her mom said "Lauren, if you don't complete your education, you can end up as a housemaid!"" Jessica babbled.
Uh oh. My eyes are closing now. I pinched myself under the table. Oww.
"Um...Jess, have you finished?" I asked politely. Jess smiled.
I knew she had already finished eating, but I thought it might atleast bottle up some chatter and let my ears heal for a few minutes.
"I'm done. You?" She asked, batting her eyelashes at me. Ew.
"What -oh, yeah. I'm done." I said.
Jessica approached me, bluish-purple veins visible under her facial skin. She smiled at me. It wasn't one of those girly smiles she often gave me, but it was a cruel smile. The smile of approaching death. I staggered back. Her normally blue eyes were a cold black color. My eyes widened.
Behind her, Bella lay dead on the floor, her eyes blank. Mom...Dad...Tiffany...Tyler...Austin...Angela...Ben...they all lay dead on the forest ground, their blank eyes staring sky-ward. I stifled a horrified scream.
Jessica raised the bloodied axe that I hadn't realized she was holding. The axe swung forward, and my blood-curdling scream echoed in the forest ground.
"Mike! MIKE! Wake up, you idiot!" Someone was shaking me.
My eyes opened, and I breathed in relief. So it was just a dream. The theatre interior seemed like relief to me now.
Jessica's face hovered over me. "Mike? Are you okay?"
I screamed so loudly, that people in front of me turned around at stare.
I stopped, breathing heavily. My eyes were fixed on Jessica, waiting for the bluish veins to show themselves...for her blue eyes to turn black...
Stop, Mike! Stop thinking like a lunatic.
"The movie's over," Jessica said, glowering at me. "You were sleeping most of the time."
Oh! So the dream was just a dream. Jessica wasn't gonna turn into a Jodie DeFeo copy. No demons were gonna pull her down into Hell and leave her teddy bear behind on Earth (I don't know if Jess actually owns a teddy).
The people were still staring at me. I stared back pointedly, and the hint worked. They turned back, grumbling about "movie-disturbers" and "idiot boys".
Everyone was leaving the room. Jessica was still beside me, scowling at me.
I got up slowly, when I saw something metallic-red under my seat. Oh no! It was the bloodied axe! I knew Jess was gonna kill me!
"AAAEEIII!" I screamed so loudly, it would've put a banshee to shame. Jessica slapped me.
"Shut the hell up, Mike!" She hissed in my ear. "You're embarassing me in public!"
I realized that the metallic-red thing was actually Jessica's coat which had fallen under my seat during the movie. She had picked it up now and it was slung across her arm. And there was me, thinking it was an axe. Stupid me.
Oh no. I was such a ...such a girlie. Ugh.
People were staring at me again. Ugh. Damn.
Resisting the urge to stick my tongue out at them, I slouched forward.
When we were out of the theatre, Jess slapped me again on my cheek.
I held my cheek, surprised and hurt. "What was that for, Jessica?"
"That was for that!" she hissed at me.
And then, guess what?
She kissed me.
It wasn't a long smooch.
It wasn't a peck on the kiss either.
It was just a kiss on the lips, which lasted for like, five seconds.
"And that is because I love you." Jess whispered.
I love you too, Jess, I thought.
Questions and Answers:-
Q1) How did you feel about this chapter?
A: It was very exhausting, and yet, exciting to write.
Q2) When will the next chapter be posted?
A: I'm guessing somewhere during next week.
Q3) Why the delay in posting chapters?
A: Studies. And studies. And then surprise tests, which I hate, as a matter of fact.
Q4) Some people hate these type of chapters. They want to see Mike getting embarrassed do you feel about it?
A: Well, I also want to see Newton get embarrassed. But I wanted to see how Mike was like during the 4 pages left blank by Stephenie. Hence, I wrote it myself. But I promise it won't last long. Heck, I think the next chapter is gonna be of the Cullens' return! YAY! But I could change my mind :(
Also, Mike does get embarassed in this chapter...[ Hint: the metallic-red bag-as-an-axe thing]
Q5)Is this the end of the Mike Gets Pranked saga?
A: No! Of course not! As a matter of fact, I'm planning Lauren, Mike & Jessica to get pranked in the Post-Breaking Dawn chapters. You'll have to be patient, I'm afraid. Renesmee, the La Push wolf pack will also be present...with a little help from Charlie and Carlisle & Esme! ;-)
But that is in the not-too-far future.
Q6) These chapters are so damn boring. Please write interesting chapters!
A: I'm sorry that they are boring. But if I hurry up with them, they soon start becoming like homework to me. Hence, the long wait. And besides, I really can't wait to write the Post-Breaking Dawn chapters. They're gonna be interesting, I bet.
Q7) We sent you loads of interesting ideas for pranking Mike. Why haven't you used them yet?
A: I didn't forget them. They're still in my mind :)
Also, they are going to be used in the Post BD chapters. So, please don't hesitate to send me more ideas!
A huge thank you to all those who sent me the amazing idea-pranks! THANK YOU!
Q8) Who is your editor?
A: I don't have an editor. I edit the chapters myself.
Q9) What would you like to tell your reviewers now?
A: I would like to thank them immensely for staying with the chapters and reviewing all through these months...and also, to hold on for the next chapters! :)
Q10)Is this chapter the last chapter of the MNPOVotC&BS [Mike Newton's POV of the Cullens and Bella Swan series]?
