Thanks to my bestie Nati for pre-reading!

Well it's Wednesday!

Ch. 4
Elevator Inconvenience

I walked into my room and found Angela sitting at her desk.

"Hey Bella," she called.

I set my my stuff down next to the door and kicked off my shoes before walking to my bed. I sat cross crossed on the red covers.

"You will never believe what happened."

"Spill," Angela squealed excitedly. "I want to hear everything about your first day!"

20 MINUTES LATER

"So that's pretty much it." I sighed finished with my tale. "I'm probably the only trainer to ever be hated by a competitive athlete."

Angela crossed her arms. "I think he's a royal jerk. And I highly doubt that." She paused to think. The whole time I'd been recounting my story she'd been swiveling back in forth in her desk chair. She sighed and reached into her desk drawer to pull out two pieces of gum. She threw one of them to me.

"I think he's only mad because a hot chick walked onto his field and wasn't even a slightly bit intimidated by his good looks and displays of aggressiveness that's all." Angela assured me.

"Maybe?" I shook my head. "I just don't know how long I'll be able to put up with his crap. I mean he was a real asshole, and I'm not sure if I should tell Billy or just wait it out?" I shrugged. Angela was also wrong in one aspect. I did find him handsome and nice to look at, but that didn't make any of his behavior excusable. Far from it! Not to mention his attitude cancelled out any redeeming qualities he may have possessed.

"It'll be rough, but you'll make it. And I'm not sure about going to Billy just yet."

I wasn't so sure about that, but I just simply nodded and chewed my Juicy Fruit.

I hopped off my bed and headed to my desk dragging my backpack behind me. I needed to get some work done. It was almost 9 and I hadn't even cracked a book open. I had just settled in at my desk before I realized that I needed to call my mother back.

I pulled my phone out and saw that I had an incoming call coming through. The screen read Jake. I sighed and pressed the answer button.

"Hello?"

"Hey Bella,it's Jake. I'm really sorry to have to ask you this, but do you think you'd help me?"

"Sure what's the matter?"I asked alarmed. Jake sounded stressed and it concerned me. Jake was a close friend and I'd always be there for him in a time of need. I knew he'd do the same for me.

"Do you think you could pick me up? My car broke down. Near exit 26." He said. I glanced at Angela who had been watching me. I blew air out of my lungs.

It looked like my homework was going to have to wait.

"Sure Jake. I'll be there soon." I reached for my socks slipping my converses on and grabbing my keys.

Angela looked at me for an explanation and I whispered his predicament to her. She nodded and grabbed her shoes too.

And with that we went out the door to pick up Jake.

My ex boyfriend.

Do you think we should stop by and talk to Eric? I know he'd probably be worried about him." I suggested to Angela as we made our way down the hall.

"That's probably a good idea."

We hopped on the elevator and went down to the third floor to Jake and Erics dorm. We reached their door and I knocked a few times.

There was no answer.

We figured Eric was either asleep, in the shower or simply not home. Perhaps he was in the library?

Angela and I made our way back to the elevator and pressed the down button. We waited. It seemed that whoever had the elevator was being unreasonably slow. The elevator finally beeped and the doors opened.

Standing behind them were two sweaty boys in football jerseys. One of which was holding his arm with his face scrunched up in disgust and pain.

It was Edward Cullen and his brother Emmett.

Edward let out a moan. "You're kidding me."

I crossed my arms defensively. Was I really that repulsive to him?

"What a pleasant surprise." I put a fake smile on my face.

"Hey Izzy!" Emmett ginned as we stepped forward.

"Hey Emmy." I grinned at the burly guy.

Angela and I stepped into the elevator. It was evident the distaste emanating from Edward.

"Angela, I'd like you to meet Edward and Emmett Cullen." I pointed to each one respectively. Angela glanced at each before settling on Edward.

"So you're the one who made Bella's day a living hell?"

Edward's jaw clenched. "I suppose that would be me." He acknowledged with a wave.

"I'm going to kick your ass." Angela said. Her voice was low and deadly. Her words rang with conviction and it was clear she meant every word of her threat.

"Put another hand on her, and the arm you're holding will be the least of your concerns."

Hey guys! Sorry it's slightly late!

Hope you enjoyed and please review and let me know what you think!

See you next Wednesday! I may update sooner though so keep a look out!
