Chapter Three of The Underdog: A Filler Chapter

Recap: Maybe I should still compete. I would do this for Angela and that was what it would take for me to continue on. Before I went to bed, I took out the contacts my mom sent me a few weeks before and my platinum card. The next day there would be no school since the fire department were still removing the fumes, so it was a good time to go shopping for a new wardrobe. I knew it was going to take a lot of effort, but maybe I could actually win this thing. You never know. I took my Mercedes Benz keys out. I had to impress everyone and what better way to do so by going back to the old confident Bella?

Now was the time to change, and the accident with Angela made me strive even more. Today was the day I decided to turn a new leaf and change the shy me into something that Angela knew I could be…

Bella POV…

This morning, I opened my eyes to a brand new day of change and adventure. It was amazing how much Angela had an impact on my life, and honestly, I was happy that she did. She had caused me to want to escape my shy shell and enjoy my senior year. My heart broke at the thought of Angela laying in the hospital bed, still and pale, while I was at school enjoying the new me. I knew that Angela wanted this for me, though.

I was going to the hospital before I went shopping, to visit Angela and hopefully get news on her condition. Knowing that Angela was in the hands of Dr. Cullen made me feel a little at ease. Dr. Cullen would always be there to fix my broken arm or leg that I had injured with my clumsiness. I knew he could be trusted with Angela and that he would do anything in his power to help her.

I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to get ready for the day. I decided to choose my only girly clothes so I got accustomed to my new wardrobe for later. It was a weird way for me to get used to my new style. Honestly, the outfit was pretty comfy for something that looked totally out of my style. *It was a nice tan top with ripped skinny jeans. I paired it up with some flats and a love quote bracelet. I don't think I would mind wearing outfits like this to school instead of my usual attire.

I grabbed my keys to my *Mercedes Benz, I had to get used to my new ride. The car trip to the hospital was actually very nice, the ride was smooth and the car actually exceeded my expectations. After I parked, I made my way to Angela's room on the second floor. I couldn't wait to see her and get the news on her current state.

"Hello, Mrs. Webber," I greeted Angela's mom. Her eyes were bloodshot and she had dark circles under her eyes. I could tell that she had lost sleep worrying about her daughter.

"Hello, sweetheart, it was nice of you to visit Angela, today," Mrs. Webber replied with a half-hearted smile. I could tell that Angela had inherited her mother's kind and loving personality.

"It was no problem at all! Would you like me to get you something to eat from the cafeteria? I was heading down there for some coffee," I offered, it was the least I could do to help in this situation.

"Would you mind, Bella? I really don't want to stray away from Angela, especially if she wakes up," Mrs. Webber took her wallet out from the bedside table.

"Oh no, food is on me! I know you feel terrible, so this is my little treat," I stopped her before she could get any money out. I was taught to know my manners and it would be very rude not to treat her to breakfast when I offered.

Mrs. Webber tried to reply but she knew it was a losing battle. Anyone who knew me knew my stubborn personality. She just smiled at me in thanks and held onto Angela's hand. I felt so bad for her, but I just didn't know how to comfort her. It would be stupid of me to tell her that I understood her pain and try to comfort her, because honestly, I didn't know her pain. Her daughter was in a coma because of some freak accident at school. Life was being pretty harsh to Mrs. Webber, but life was never easy in the first place, and I think she understood that. I shook my head as I walked down the hall. Mrs. Webber didn't deserve this.

I went to the cafeteria and bought two cups of coffee and a big breakfast sandwich. I didn't know how long Mrs. Webber was with Angela, but I reckon that it has been a while. I finished paying and brought the tray back to Angela's room. Surprisingly, Mrs. Webber was not there alone. I saw a short girl, about 4'11, with spikey black hair and a petite figure sitting down with Mrs. Webber. I immediately recognized her as Alice Cullen, the gorgeous, hyper, and fashion crazy "pop", or popular.

"Oops, sorry to disturb. I was just dropping in," Alice's high-pitched voice rang out.

"Oh no, its fine, I was just dropping by some breakfast for Mrs. Webber," I replied nervously to Alice. It was a miracle that I didn't stutter. Alice flashed me a brilliant smile as I placed the coffee and sandwich in front of Mrs. Webber.

"Thank you, sweetheart. Where are you going after this?" Mrs. Webber asked.

"I was just going to go shopping for a new wardrobe. I thought it would be nice for a change," I replied, smiling back at her. To my surprise, Alice perked up.

"Would you like some company?" Alice offered, which caught me off guard. "I just thought you would like some advice from another girl." Alice replied quickly as she noticed my expression.

"Oh, yeah, that would be great. I would love for you to join me," I replied with enthusiasm. I completely forgot about Alice's status as a pop. She was definitely someone I would enjoy spending time with.

We said a good-bye to Mrs. Webber and Angela and headed out. The parking lot of the hospital was barely filled since it was actually early in the morning. The only two cars that stood out were a really nice yellow Porsche and my Mercedes.

"Bella, let me just drop off my car at my house and then we'll go to the mall in Seattle. Would that be alright?" Alice asked politely, but I could tell that inside she was bouncing with excitement.

"Oh, um, sure." I replied, flustered. I mentally slapped myself. I probably sounded like a stuttering idiot. I was just caught off guard that she knew my name.

I drove behind Alice as she went down an unfamiliar road, trusting her to not get lost. The unwinding road led to a huge house with open windows and a modern theme. I waited as Alice went to go park her car in the garage and just played some music. Soon enough, Alice came back out and got into my car. As soon as she buckled up, I started driving towards Seattle.

The silence was only a little awkward since both Alice and I were humming to the songs. Eventually, I decided it was time to break the silence and get answers to a few of my questions.

"Um, Alice, if you don't mind me asking, how did you know my name?" I asked, curious. Alice's laugh rang through the car.

"Of course I know who you are, silly! You're Bella Swan, that shy and pretty girl," Alice replied brightly. I almost wanted to snort when she said pretty, and I could tell she noticed.

"Oh Bella, you have such low self-esteem," She shook her head at me and I blushed.

She giggled at my blush and raised the music louder. She was singing along and her voice was really high and good. I didn't know what else to do but listen to her sing.

"I love this song!" Alice exclaimed as she bounced up and down. For the rest of the trip, we sang and talked. She was actually an amazing person that loved to have fun. I could tell that we had a great day ahead of us.

A/N: Yay! Ha-ha this was only a filler chapter so expect one or two more chapters coming up. I am so sorry for my late update! I have been so busy with trips and stuff that I haven't found the time to sit down and write. I hope you enjoyed this chapter; it was just a little chapter showing how Alice and Bella met.
