YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!! IT'S THE MOST REVIEWS I GOT SO FAR IN THIS STORY! KEEP IT GOING!
Thanks for the awesome reviews, alerts and favorites! I love you guys so so so much!
Anyway, I guess you guys love Ian and Mel pair a lot right? I've decided to give you another short part of the chapter, that has Ian and Mel staring in it. =]
Oh, i'm sorry if this chapter isn't up to your expectation, or if it's a little confusing. 'Cause it was quite hard to type. I have other chapters planned out, i just need a bridge to connect my storyline. So to me, this chapter was quite hard to imagine at first. Thankfully i still managed to type in.
Well, to MajorWhitlock'sWife, i've decided, maybe it won't be 10 chapters only. It might be a little longer, but within 15. XD
Okay, Previously on Love in a Diary,
I put the diary back to the drawer, and locked it.
Tying the necklace around my neck, I kissed the locket before getting into bed.
Bella's POV
Opening my eyes, I realized I woke up even earlier than Rosalie and Alice.
THIS IS A FREAKING BIG NEWS!!!
Never had I once woke up even earlier than them.
I had a long hot bath before changing into a long sleeved pink shirt and white shorts.
Even when I got out of the bathroom, those two were still sleeping. I sighed.
Should I attack Rosalie first, or Alice?
"Alice!!!" I shook her body.
"Is there a fire?" she shot up immediately.
I laughed. "No? What makes u think there's fire?"
"So, there's no fire?"
"Nope."
"Kay." She went back sleeping.
"No, Alice, get up!" I pulled her unsurprisingly light body up.
She opened her eyes, looking between the clock and me for a few seconds before shrieking, "Holy shit!"
Rosalie threw a pillow at her. "Shut up, woman!"
I laughed.
Alice got up and walked over to Rosalie.
"Rose, look at the time now. It's 6.30, right?" Rosalie glared at her before looking at the clock at her nightstand.
"Obviously…"
"This isn't right." I heard her saying in a softer voice.
"What's wrong, Alice?" I asked her curiously.
"You!" She looked at me with wide eyes.
Rosalie woke up at this moment.
"Am I hearing Bella's voice at 6.30 in the morning?" She said, her voice lower than usual as she just woke up.
She looked at me, as though I'm an alien from another planet. "What the fuck? Bella, are you mad or something? 'Cause I'm damn sure you are."
I glanced at down and looked into the mirror. "No, Rose? I'm perfectly alright."
"Bella, you do know it's 6.31 now right?"
I nodded my head.
"Don't you see it? Bella waking up at 6.30" She looked at me from top the bottom. "Perhaps earlier than that…"
"Err, girls, what's wrong with Bella waking up earlier than you guys?"
"That's the problem!" They shouted at the same time.
"You're never ever"
"A morning person."
"And you don't"
"Dress up like that."
My mouth formed a big 'O' when I realized why my friends were looking at me as though they'd seen ghost.
I had been abnormal…
"Well… I didn't know it's still early in the morning, and I just felt like going to the shopping mall."
"Oh, shopping mall…"
"Wait a second. Shopping mall?" Alice arched her eyebrows.
I rolled my eyes.
"Alice, she's a shopaholic, remember the photo?"
"Thanks, Rose."
"But that doesn't explain why you're wearing more fashionable clothes all of a sudden, when I've been asking you to wear baby Tees only for months."
"I don't know." Seriously, I had no idea. "Maybe… Just maybe… I want a change, and I want people to know the fact that I'm not a scholar."
I'm pretty sure those words came out of my mouth. Were they what my heart thinks?
Then our conversation ended with Alice muttering "You're weird." and them going back to sleep.
I sighed and went over to my table.
Looking at the calendar, I groaned. "School…"
I packed up my bag and occupied myself with my photo album.
Then the girls got up and by the time they were dressed up, there was a knock on the door.
I opened it.
"Bella, aren't we going to school today?"
"Yes, Jasper."
"So, why are you wearing like this?"
"Is there anything wrong with what I'm wearing, Em?" I crossed my arms.
"Oh nothing, it's just that, it's…"
"Weird." Alice completed Emmett's sentence.
I closed the door and looked at the outfit I was wearing for the day.
"Alice, am I acting really weird today?" I asked softly.
"No…" She laughed nervously. "Of course not… I like the new you, but what would the others think of you?"
"Alice, since when do we care what others think about us. Bella's going to show them who she really is, am I right, Bella?"
"I guess so."
Jasper seemed to agree with Rosalie. "Yeah, I guess Bella, it's time to show them your total makeover after a month of not showing up in school."
"Ooh. I agree with you guys, Rosie and Jazzy baby." Emmett said to which Rosie gave him a wink while Jasper on the other hand, looked as though he was going to puke.
"Maybe you guys are right. I don't know why I'm being so paranoid, I just don't want Bella to get hurt again just because what the others might say about her new look."
"Alice, it's okay. Thanks, for worrying about me." I smiled at her.
"You're welcome, but Bella, let me warn you first, don't listen to whatever those three bitches say."
I beamed. "Yup!"
I felt carefree as we walked down the hallway, despite having hundred pairs of eyes staring at me. There wasn't such a need to lie to the others right now, and though lying was part of my life already, I felt much better being my true self.
Once we got settled down, Emmett whispered. "Wow, Belly, you've got a lot of staring."
"Even if I'm blind I could also feel it, EM."
Alice giggled. "Em, don't remind her about it again."
"Thanks, Al."
"No problem." She said just as the teacher entered.
Ms. Granger was possibly the only teacher in my life who kept picking my fault.
"Ms. Swan, it seems that you've been missing for a month."
"Yes, Miss Granger, I was in the hospital."
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. But, since you look as healthy as horse now, remember to do the assignments I gave the others while u were not around." Sure you were sorry?
I forced a smile. "Sure, Miss Granger."
"The deadline is next Friday."
Two weeks to complete a month's homework, not to mention, those that the others did in class.
Enjoy torturing me, aren't you? I stared at her, though I kept my anger hidden behind the innocent face I was putting on.
After that, I entered History class with Jasper.
"Someone's fuming."
"How would you know?"
"I'm good at deciphering emotions." He winked at me.
I rolled my eyes. "That fucking teacher couldn't even pity me. She's making me do all the homework I owed her for one whole month and she expects me to pass it up on Friday. I bet she gave more assignments than usual."
"Take a deep breath."
I did as he told.
"Feeling much better?"
Surprisingly, I did. I nodded.
"Teacher's here."
I whispered. "If he were to be like that old hag, I'm going to leave school."
I looked at the teacher, sometimes zoning out as usual.
Thankfully he didn't tell me to complete the assignments he gave when I'm not around, so did the Trig teacher.
During lunch, once I sat down, Emmett said. "Still angry?"
"You think?" I took the fork and poke around the food on my plate.
I didn't hear any replies from Emmett, which was odd for him, so I looked at them.
I frowned when I realized they were staring behind me.
What now?
I turned around and saw the three bitches twisting their hips as they walked towards us. I coughed to cover up my laugh 'cause they were failing at their attempt to look sexy, instead they looked… as though… they… had problems with their heels.
I turned back towards my friends and whispered. "The penguins are coming."
Realizing why I called them penguins instead of bitches, they all burst out laughing.
"Look who we've got here?" She sneered. "The oh-so-famous scholar, Isabella Swan."
"Hello, Jane." Being civil, that's fine with me.
"Bella, Bella, even if you're wearing a Chanel long sleeved and holding a LV bag, doesn't mean you're rich. All of us here know that you're a scholar, right girls?"
Jessica and Lauren who were standing next to her said "Yeah…" like the girls from Lilo And Stitch.
Alice, the fashion queen stifled a giggle.
Oh my… She's the worst shopper ever.
"Oh, Jane, this is definitely not Chanel. It's from GAP."
"But I saw it…"
"I know what you're thinking. It's merely a coincidence that both GAP and Chanel had almost the same design, but you see, the Chanel's design is tight fitting while what I'm wearing is a bit loose. Hmm… I expected you to know it, Jane, since your father owns a fashion company. What was the name of company again? Renee?"
She blinked her eyes a few times. "Yes, of course. My father owns that company."
"Are you sure?" I raised my eyebrows and crossed my arms.
"Of course, bitch. Who are you to question me? Are you jealous just 'cause my father owns Renee which is so popular right now?"
I turned and looked at my friends who gave me a nod of encouragement. That was all I needed.
"I have every right to question whatever you said just because your father doesn't own Renee. My dad does."
By now, everyone in the cafeteria was looking at us.
Three of them laughed evilly.
"Oh yeah? Prove it, you're just a damn scholar." Lauren spat.
"It's like… So obvious… You're like… Lying."
"Well…. You guys don't believe?" I raised my voice, more like speaking to the entire cafeteria.
"Who would believe you?" Jane crossed her arms.
"I would." Emmett started, followed by Jasper and Alice.
Rosalie stood next to me. "Please get it through the thick skull of yours, that Bella isn't a scholar. But then again, since your brain is as small as a pea, I doubt you'll get what I mean."
There were cheers and laughter in the cafeteria. Everyone supported Rosalie.
Duh, she's the head cheerleader.
I smiled. "Guys, I'm sure most of you only buy clothes and accessories from Renee without knowing who owns it right? That's why you believed Jane when she said her father owns it. Please, get your facts right. Go to the internet, search for history of Renee, and see for yourself who owns it. Then, you'll know whether I'm lying or not."
I looked at the three bitches, who looked like deer caught in headlight.
"Aren't we excited to know the outcome?" I smiled at Jane who let out a scream before stomping away.
"You go girl." Emmett hit my fist with his.
Alice whistled. "Bitch Bella in the making."
All of us laughed.
When I got into Biology lesson, Angela started talking quickly. "Ican'tbelieveyoudidthat. It'sthebitchesintownyou'regoingagainst,Bella!"
I placed a hand on her shoulder. "Now, Ang, calm down. Okay, I did that. Don't worry, they won't dare to do anything to me, not after going to the internet, searching for the owner of Renee."
She spoke softly, "So, what you said, wasn't a joke?"
Was it sadness that was on her face?
"Oh, Angela, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. Believe me, I have my own reasons to pretend to be a scholar, instead of a rich kid. Even Alice and Rosalie didn't know until I trusted them enough to tell them. It's not as though I don't trust you."
She interrupted me. "It's okay, Bella. I understand."
"Angela, I'm really sorry."
"I forgive you." She smiled and I gave her a hug.
After school, we headed to the shopping mall as I wanted to put my photo in the locket. They had no idea what I was doing as I told them I was going to the restroom.
The guy told me I could collect it two hours later, so I joined them again.
"Belly, why are you looking at your watch again?"
Why must he be so observant! Just like that time. Ugh!
"Well, Emmett, 'cause I had to take note of how long I spend in each shop, for future reference." I had no idea what lame excuse I was giving.
"Okay." He said, believing the crap I was saying easily.
Finally two hours' passed. I told them yet again I was going to the restroom and skipped to collect my locket.
Opening the locket, I could see… Myself on one side, while Edward on the other side.
Perfecto.
Bella!
You replied! Finally! It's okay, as long as you're talking to me again. I seriously miss seeing your handwriting and for the past month, I had to live on only with the past entries you made. Did I hurt you? Was it that bad?
I'm so sorry, Bella! Really! Nothing can describe how sorry I am right now. I could almost imagine how you were in the past month.
So, what excuse did you use to escape school? And, i hope you will wear the locket every day. Looking at it, would be as though I'm there, right next to you.
I will be having examinations soon, so I guess I'll have to keep my entries short.
Till then,
Edward
I smiled. I will definitely see him, whenever I look at the locket, which was hanging around my neck right then.
So i replied.
(a month later)
I opened the door leading to my brother's apartment with the key he gave me, excited to see my soon to be sister in law again.
You're more excited about seeing your sister in law than your brother. Way to go, Bella.
I ignored the voice.
"Hello?"
Nobody answered.
"Stupid Don. There's no one here and yet he told me Mel is here, while Ian's out." I muttered to myself.
I heard a loud noise as though something dropped onto the floor and headed towards Ian's bedroom.
I laughed when I saw Mel struggling to close her luggage.
"Hi, Mel!" I waved.
"Oh, hi, Bella. Didn't know you're here."
Her hair was in a mess but she still looked as gorgeous as ever.
"You're going for a trip with my brother?" I asked, pointing at her suitcase.
"Nope. I'm moving out." She said while I nodded my head.
"WHAT?! MOVING OUT?! WHEN? WHY?" I shrieked.
"Yeah, I'm moving out of the house today."
"But… But why?" I found it hard to believe. Yesterday she was telling me how happy she was after moving in with my brother. Now???
"Your brother paid all my sister's college fees without me knowing."
"That's it?" I asked her. "That's why you're moving out of the apartment?"
"Yeah…"
"It's such a small issue, Mel. It's not as though my brother's sleeping with other girls." I laughed.
"It is a big issue. I've said before, I don't want to use your brother's money."
Just then my brother came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapping around his hips, water still dripping down from his wet hair.
Didn't Don say Ian is out? He's not trustable after all.
"I told you, my money is your money. Why must you be so stubborn?"
"Why must I be so stubborn? You're the one who's stubborn and yet you say I am. How funny, isn't it?"
"Of course you're the one who's stubborn. I've said so many times, money isn't such a big deal to me. You're more important than the money."
"I've also told you many times that I would prefer paying my bills with my own money. I never use other people's money, especially I've got a good pay even though I'm pretty sure what I'm working for doesn't deserve such pay."
"Why don't you just let me help you out, Mel? I don't want to see you working all the time, full time in my club, part time over the weekends. Out of the seven days in a week, I only see you 2 days."
"Don't be absurd, you see me everyday."
"You know what I mean." He gave her a look I didn't understand.
I couldn't just stand there and watch them fight. This wouldn't end good if both of them kept yelling at each other.
"Okay, cut it out, guys!"
They both looked at me. "But, Bella-"
"Shut up, and listen to me first. Mel, you want to pay for your sister using the money you get all by yourself?"
"Yes."
"And… Ian, you don't want Mel to overwork herself?"
"Yes."
"Mel, do you have at least 10 thousand in your bank?"
"Yeah, I think I do, for emergency purposes."
"Then, that's it. Mel, you needn't move out of the apartment and you two, can stop fighting."
"Why?" both of them asked.
"'Cause I've got an idea." I winked.
What would our dear Bella do? Any guesses?
Please review, okay?
Love ya guys,
LittleBells.
