It had been a couple of weeks since my visit with Laurent and the Denali clan. I had been back up there a couple times since then. I really enjoyed hanging out with them. It reminded me a lot of spending time with the Cullen's, but in their unique way. The moving forward feeling I had vanished quickly after being home. I was still doing the same old thing with my life every single day. It wasn't much of a life. I thought about doing a lot of different things, but it usually ended up overwhelming me. One day I had talked to Jake about going back to high school to get my diploma and I realized that it was the biggest mistake I had made. After telling him that I had thought about doing that, Jake would not shut up about it. He was driving me crazy with his concern and hopes for happiness, but I still loved Jake for caring. It was a regular day until he had shown up with the same argument he had been spewing for the last week.
"Jake, don't be ridiculous." I muttered, rolling my eyes at my best friend. He gave me his lopsided wolfy grin and laughed.
"I'm not being ridiculous." He defended playfully. I rolled over onto my stomach on my bed to look at him. He sat in the desk chair a few feet away.
"Right… You're just downright insane now." He laughed even harder at my annoyed tone which left me trying to fight off my own smile.
"Going back to high school isn't that insane of an idea." Jake teased while coming to join me on the bed. I gave him a light shove.
"I'm 21 years old and thinking of enrolling in high school. That's pretty insane." I grumbled, coming to sit up with my legs crossed. I felt really pathetic, but I kept reminding myself that I didn't have much say in the matter.
"Bella, you still look 18. You'll always be 18 since you were changed at that age, right? Nobody is going to notice. Plus, it'd be nice if you had your diploma." Jake suggested with a smile. Why is a diploma so important?
"Why would it matter?" I groaned, seeing as he was not going to let me win this fight.
"Your education is important. You only have to go for one year and then you're done. It won't be that hard." He shrugged casually. I rolled my eyes. I hate it when he's right.
"We have a slight problem."
"What's that?" Jake asked, raising his eyebrows towards me.
"I can't exactly enroll back in high school as Bella Swan. Charlie will find out and it will bring up a bunch of stuff that we don't need. I told you what the Denali's said about the Volturi. I have to keep suspicion low." I explained, hopeful that it would be a good enough argument for Jake to drop the entire subject.
"I know a guy that can make you fake documents; birth certificate, social, I.D, and a high school transcript." Jake grinned once he saw my annoyed expression come back.
"When did you become a 007 all of a sudden?" I teased, pushing him again. Jake laughed and shrugged his shoulders.
"It was a kid's uncle that I went to high school with. He's into shady stuff." He explained like it was completely normal. I laughed and shook my head.
"Is that so, Robert Garfield?" I questioned him, holding back a smile. Jake looked shocked which caused me to laugh.
"I guess you found my fake I.D?" He laughed and shook his own head. Jake was definitely insane. I was absolutely positive of it.
"Yup. Give it a couple years and you won't need it." I smiled at Jake again and rolled over to my laptop. Sam had given me an extra one that his parents had. I was really grateful for it since I didn't have much to do at home. I pulled it open and went straight to Google. "Get your friend ready for business." Jake beamed and stood up from the bed.
"I will. I'll catch up with you later, Bells." He said, giving me a kiss on the top of my head before leaving for his patrol. I shook my head at my crazy best friend before returning to my search.
There is something I need before I can go back to school. It was going to start in a couple of months and I'd need to buy supplies and clothes that actually fit. The problem is that I still only had the 100 dollars that I had three years ago. I would need to find a way to make money and quickly. It's pretty impossible to get a job in town since my Dad thinks I'm 3500 miles away and people would recognize me.
I'd eventually have to figure out a job that I could do, but a quick cash fix sounded like the way to go now. I couldn't exactly get a loan since I didn't have any of my fake documents. My mind pondered over the ideas of what people did when they needed money quick. Becoming a stripper and selling drugs were quickly out of the picture. Suddenly, the best idea I had so far popped into my mind; Las Vegas.
My phone was in my hand instantly and dialing Jake's number.
"Bella, if you're calling because you changed your mind, I'm telling you that you aren't going to win this one." Jake started off as soon as he answered the phone.
"Would you shut up for a minute?" I growled playfully and he laughed. "I have a proposition for you."
"What is it?" Jake asked, his curiosity piking.
"Let's go to Vegas." I suggested anxiously, hoping that he wouldn't think it was a completely crazy idea. He better not at least. I indulge all of his insane ideas, so he could do me the favor in this one.
"Hell yeah!" Jake exclaimed excitedly. I couldn't stop the giant smile that spread across my face. Vegas had no idea what was coming for it.
Hey guys!
I'm sorry this chapter is a little shorter than the others! I didn't have as much to put in it, but the chapter is going to be full of some Bella and Jake shenanagins!
I hope you guys are joking when you review and say update faster. I've posted a new chapter each night for the last three days. A lot of authors only post once a week or every other week. I don't feel the need to do that, but I could always switch to that. I just like posting when I have felt like writing and updating. I like reading all your reviews and like that you guys enjoy the story, so I update as often as I can! Hope you all understand that. :)
I hope you all are enjoying the story so far! Please review and let me know what you think! Love you guys so much!
