Chapter Four: Oh Shoot
I drove into the parking lot and put the gear on park. I took the key out of the ignition, opened the door and jumped out of the car. I couldn't want until lunch tomorrow. There's something wrong with me. I imprinted on a vampire, and then I'm hanging out with him. Sam is going to kill me, I shook my head. I opened the door; Charlie was sitting on the couch, watching Cops. I closed the door.
"Hi, dad," I greeted him.
He kept his eyes on the TV. "Hey, Bells," he said and took a sip of his beer.
I took my off and hung it up on the rack. I started walking up the stairs and went into my room. I closed my door and turned around. Jake was standing in my room.
"So, you learned how to get into the room," I said and threw my backpack on my bed.
He didn't respond. He's still probably upset from yesterday.
"Jake?" I walked over to him.
He looked at me. "Who did you imprint on?"
Oh, crap. "Uh . . ."
"You lied to me didn't you?" he said angrily.
"No, I didn't," I answered immediately.
"Then tell me who you imprinted on," he demanded. I didn't know whether he was going to rat me out if I told him or not. I stood in silence thinking what to say. "Who!" he yelled. I heard my dad turn off the t.v.
"You should go," I whispered. He disappeared and my dad opened the door.
I looked at him. "What was that?" he asked.
"I don't know," I said looking down.
"Okay," he said slowly. He probably thought it was one of the neighbors. He closed the door.
"Ugh!" I threw myself on my bed. Every time Jake came to my house, he makes me feel guilty. I was bored so I pulled out my phone. I clicked on contacts and started going down the list to find Jacob's name. Then, I stopped at I name I've never seen before. I had Edward's phone number. Stupid vampires. Why they have to be so fast? I smiled, it was kind of sweet in a way. I realized that I was distracting myself from texting Jacob. I scrolled down the list again and found Jacob's name. I clicked his name and the started writing the message.
I'm sorry, Jake I wrote. I sat there looking at the message, thinking of what to write. I decided not to send the message out. I couldn't tell him the truth. I had to start my homework, I needed to stop thinking of Jacob. I grabbed my backpack and took out my homework. I had homework from each class today. The first time I'm grateful for homework. In between each homework, I was making dinner.
When I finished my homework, I went to down stairs to finish up dinner. I made chicken and rice. "Dad! Dinner is ready," I called.
"Okay," he called back still watching the t.v. I put his half of his dinner on a plate and put my half on a different plate. I grabbed the plates and put it on the table. He turned off the t.v. and got off the couch. He sat down on his chair and I sat in mine. He started eating, "How was school, today?" He finished chewing.
"It was fine, a lot of homework," I answered and took a bite of my chicken. I started chewing.
He nodded and continued eating.
"How's work?"
"The same, there was reports of wolves around town."
I nodded. We eat in silence. It was very awkward around Charlie, when we were alone together. I continued eating. Apparently, Charlie liked the food. He inhaling the food. He finished before me and left his plate in the sink. He walked into the living room and turned on the t.v. to watch the news. I finished my food and walked over to the sink. I turned on the fossit and washed the dishes.
When I finished, I turned off the fossit. I exhaled," I'm going to sleep. Good night," I said and started walking up the stairs.
"Good night, Bells." I walked into the bathroom and washed up. Then, I went into my room and went to sleep.
Another night dreaming of Edward. I could practically smell him last night. My alarm clock went off again. "Knock You Down," by Keri Hilson. I love that song, it reminded me of Edward. I smiled at the thought of his name. Then, I got off the bed and went to the bathroom to wash up for school. When I was done, I went into my room and got an outfit from my dresser. Ugh, I need to do laundry tonight.
I changed, grabbed mt backpack and went down the stairs. Charlie was gone, again. He's been very busy lately. I grabbed my coat and walked out the door. I went t my truck and got inside. I put the key in the ignition, started the car and put the gear in reverse. I started to drive to school. When I finally got there, I parked the car into the parking lot. I put the gear on drive and took the key out of the ignition. I got out of the car and closed the door. A rain drop fell from the sky, it was time of the day. I put on my coat. Then, I started walking to the school. I smelt the vampires again. There was one on my right side. I turned my head, the one that looks like a pixie. She looked at me too. Then, she waved and smiled at me. I waved back at her, she was probably one of the few nice vampires. I started walking to class. Thank god it was Friday.
One of the rare days that I liked my schedule. The day went by fast until lunch. I walked into the cafeteria and saw Edward sitting alone at the same table that he usually sits at. I walked over to the his table. Jessica saw me.
"You're not sitting with us today?" she asked as I walked pass her table.
"I don't think so," I answered.
She nodded, I walked away. Edward saw me and smiled.
I smiled back. "Hi," I greeted him.
"Hi," he greeted back. "Sit," he pointed to the chair across from him.
Okay. I sat down on the chair.
"How was your day?" he asked.
He always asked me that. "Um, it was fine," I said.
He nodded. "Good to hear," he said and looked at me. I looked into his golden eyes, they were light today. I lost concentration and smiled."When did you move here? Considering that I gone when you came."
"In the middle of January," I answered.
"So you're enjoying the rain?" he asked sarcastically. I chuckled and shook my head. I hate the rain.
"Why did you move here if you hate the rain?" he seemed curious.
Well, that's complicated. I was thinking of a way to summarize it.
"I got time," he pointed out.
Good point, I exhaled. "My mom got remarried. Her husband is a minor leadge baseball player, and he travels a lot. She would stay home with me, but I knew it made her upset being away from him. So, I thought that I should stay with my dad for awhile."
He nodded and leaned back on his chair. We sat in silence for a moment. Then, he looked confused, "You look nothing like your father," he said and looked at me.
"Yeah, I was adopted. Apparently, my real parents were Quileutes," I answered. He nodded. He had a curious look on his face and smiled.
"When is your birthday?"
"September thirteen."
"What's your favorite color?" I thought for a second, I never really had a favorite color. It always changed everyday. "Okay, what's your favorite color today?"
"Brown," I answered. He nodded.
"My turn," I said and leaned forward on my chair.
"Where is the rest of your family?"
"They're over there," he pointed to a table on the opposite side of the cafeteria.
"Why?"
"I'm breaking the rules by talking to you," he answered.
"How many people are in your . . . family?"
"Seven, including me," he winked at me. I couldn't help myself, I laughed. He's so cute. "Thank you," he smiled. I decided to change the subject.
"When were you born?"
"June 20th, 1901."
Wow he's a hundred years old. He chuckled and smiled. I thought of something else to ask him. "Okay, what kind of music do you listen to?"
"Classical."
I liked classical music too. "Which song is your favorite?"
"Clair De Lune." I smiled, that was my favorite too.
Then, the bell rang. Time went by so fast when I was with him. I exhaled and grabbed my backpack. "Want to walk with me to biology?"
I nodded and smiled. I got up from the chair and he got up from his. I started walking and he caught up to my pace easily. He's smell stronger than ever. It didn't bother me, I'm getting use to it. I'm the worst werewolf ever.
"No, you're not," he leaned over to me and whispered.
I smiled at him and he smiled back. He's so sweet. We kept walking to our next class. When we got there, Edward got my coat for me and hung it up. I took my seat and Edward took his. The teacher began the lesson and talked through it all. I hate our biology teacher. I bell finally rang and I got out of my seat. I got my coat and Edward was next to me, already has his jacket. I walked out of the class, sad that I don't have another class with Edward. He went the opposite direction of me. He turned around and looked at me, as I did the same. I smiled and he smiled back. Could he be in love with me? I wish. I shook my head after looking away. This day was going to be longer than I thought.
School was finally over. I exhaled and started walking to my truck. I got to my truck and glanced at Edward's car. He was leaning on it and looking at me. I opened the door and waved bye to him. He waved back to me. I keep falling more in love with Edward, every time I talk to him, or look at him. I smiled and went into my truck. I put the key in the ignition and put the gear on drive. I drove out of the parking lot on my way home. I realized, I haven't transformed in days. I'm glad that I haven't been with the pack. I hated being a werewolf, the only time I feel human was without hanging out with them.
I got to my house and parked into the driveway. I got out of the car and walked into my house. Charlie wasn't home. I closed the door and went upstairs with my jacket on. I decided to do my homework on Sunday. I walked into my room, tired. I wanted to take a nap and think about Edward. I know it was a bad idea to let myself fall for him, but I don't care. I lied on my bed and fell asleep.
I woke up, it was five o' clock. I should start making dinner. I took off my coat and threw it on the floor with the rest of my clothes. I went down stairs, Charlie still wasn't home. I took the meat out of the refrigarator and took out a pan. I was making chicken cutlet, it was already breaded. I put olive oil on the pan and put the chicken cutlets on the pan. I took out a pot for the spettei. Put water inside and turned on the flame for both pots. Then, I went back upstairs to get the laundry. I took it and went down stairs to the laundry room. I put the darks in one machine and the lights in another. I turned on the machines.
I went into the kitchen and flipped the chicken and put the spaghetti in the pot. Fifteen more minutes until dinner is ready. I sat down and relaxed. This is so boring. Charlie's car came and stopped in the front of the house. He got out of the car and started walking to the house. He opened the door and came inside. "Hi, dad," I said.
"Hey, Bells."
"Sorry, dinner is going to be a little late," I said and looked at the stove.
"It's alright," he said and took off his boots. Then hung up his coat. He signed deeply and went to get a beer. He sat down in his chair. "How was school?"
The only topic he could think of. "The same," I answered and looked at the table. "What did you today at work?" There's got to be something he did since he was late.
"Tracking down an animal," he said and took a sip of his beer.
"What for?"
"We believed it killed Mrs. Newton."
"Oh," there was nothing else to say. We sat in silence, again. I stirred the spaghetti a couple of times during out silence. Then, I took the chicken cutlets out and put them on plates. Then, I took the pot and poured it into the sink where the strainer was. I put the spaghetti on the two plates and put butter on them both. I gave Charlie his plate and I put mine on the table and turned off the flame on the stove. Then, I sat down and began eating.
Charlie finished fast and put his plate in the sink. He went to the living room and started watching t.v. I finished and got up to the sink to wash the dishes, when I was done; I went to the laundry room and to put the clothes in the dryer. I walked into the living room and sat down next to Charlie. I was watching t.v. with Charlie for an hour.
The clothes were done, I went to the laundry room. I put the clothes in the basket, went upstairs and put the clothes away. I exhaled, tired. I kicked the basket to the corner of my room. Then, I turned around and saw Edward standing near the window.
