Chapter 13: Bella's pov
"What do I want" Lauren asked me. "I want you die you're an abomination to the planet. I don't see why the new kids are hanging out with you. They should be hanging out with me instead. What did you do put a spell on them to make them your friends?"
I stood up and walked up to her face. "Oh ha-ha Lauren that's so funny. It's almost as funny as seeing one of your silicon breast lop-sided. You might wanna fix the right one it's a bit saggy." I heard the Cullens giggling behind me.
"Oh whatever Bella! I know you're just jealous because you've always wanted to join my group. Oh and for the record these are real."
"Yeah, those are as real as the A's you got in math class which you slept with your teacher for. I am not jealous Lauren, I never wanted to join your 'group'" I did quotation marks with my hands on group. "You see Lauren the new kids, the Cullens, are my friends because they don't want to be around anything as fake as you and your try hards back there. With your short dresses and skirts, revealing tops, and lets not forget about the over use of makeup." Laurens followers just stood there stunned and offended. Lauren on the other hand looked so horrible I almost felt sorry. Her jaw was dropped and her eyes wide with shock. "Oh, I'm sorry, I hope I didn't make you cry" I said to Lauren when I noticed something white sticking out of her shirt. I stepped toward Lauren and pulled the white thing out of her shirt it was a napkin. "Huh, well what do you y'know its not silicon you just stuff your bras. Here you might need this." I concluded as I handed her the napkin for her to cry on.
"Fuck you freak!" Lauren ran off to the bathroom with her followers doing what they do follow behind.
I smirked and shrugged off what happen. I kind of felt bad, I mean, I'm not usually that defensive of myself. I usually just ignore them and walk away. As strong as I was when I stood up to her; I felt bad. What I did to her it was just so cruel, it wasn't like me at all, it was like Lauren.
I quietly sat back down; stunned by my actions. What if the fights at home are catching up to me here? Am I going psycho? A booming laugh broke me out of my trance.
"Dang baby sis!" Emmett kept chuckling but still trying to gain composer of himself. "I didn't know you had it in you be such a bitch" his said while giving Jasper the high-five. All the Cullens were laughing and smiling from the incident that had just occurred.
"Wow, Bella, way to stand up for yourself!" Alice chirped.
"Yeah, Bella, way to go" Rose said kindly. That was a shocker to me. I always got this feeling that she hated me. My assumption was right when she stopped laughing and snubbed me. What did I do to her?
"Bella" Jasper called. "Would you please tell me about this dream like what happened?"
I felt my face drop as I recalled what I dreamt. "Well this is what happened. The air was nice and cold; snow was falling instead of rain. The green scenery was now replaced by white. My body shivered, I wrapped my arms around my body to keep myself warm. My knees gave out under me causing me to fall to the floor landing on all fours. I leaned back on to my heels sitting in a kneeling position. I heard a low growl but as I looked around I saw nothing. I hung my head down staring at the white cold ground. My teeth began to chatter as my body continued to shiver. The growl came back only this time it was louder. Like it could be only standing a few feet away from me. I slowly raised my head to look at the predator that would soon take my life away. Standing arms length away from my body was a white lion. The fact that the lion was white was weird all on its own but to make it stranger; the lion had green emerald eyes. Its eyes so deep that it was like there was gravity forcing me closer. The lion laid down on the ground behind me. Assuming it wanted me to lie back onto him. I removed my feet from under me and leaned back onto its body. The fur of the lion was cold but comforting. That's all that really happened in my dream. Do you guys know? What it means that is?" The bell rang signaling that lunch was over.
I stood up as I gathered my things. My next class was biology and I was curious about Edward. I pushed in my chair and started walking to the doors. "Wow Bella and in you past dreams you've always seen those green eyes" Alice chimed. I didn't even notice she was waiting for me.
"Alice, you didn't have to wait for me, you'll be late for your next class. And yes those green eyes have been in my dreams for these past nights. It's weird because I don't even know anyone with green eyes." I explained to her.
"Don't worry I have the same building as you, biology right, I have chemistry." she paused thinking about something. "Are you sure you don't know anyone with green eyes?"
"Yes, Alice, all the people I know have blue, brow, or gray eyes now gold." I said opening the door to the building. "Alice, is Edward really sick?" At that her face became distorted.
"Yes Bella. What makes you ask that?" she said sheepishly. Hmm…something is wrong.
"Well Alice I get the feeling that he doesn't like me for some reason. On Friday, during bio, its like he couldn't stand being next to me. He darted for the door when the bell rang. I didn't even say anything to him and he acts like I'm…I don't know.
"Don't worry Bella. Edward is just sick. So about those eyes…" she changed the subject.
"Yes, Alice, I'm positive. Anyways, I'll see you tomorrow." I said as I went into class.
I took my seat alone at the table. Edward was the only Cullen in this class with me. Yet, he was the only one who had a major problem with me. Could I be the reason why he's supposedly sick? Alice didn't say that he likes me or not. So maybe I could be the reason he's "sick".
Now that he isn't here beside me, now that I sit at this table by myself like before, I yearned to have him here. I wanted Edward to walk through that door and say "Sorry I'm late Mr. Varner I got caught up in something." Or even "Mr. Varner I need to speak to Bella for a moment please." I just needed to see him, to feel his presence near me, to hear his voice, anything!
"Bella, what did I just say?" Mr. Varner asked me breaking me out of my thoughts.
"I'm sorry Mr. Varner as you can see I'm not in top condition. May I please leave to go see the nurse and maybe go home." I said dodging his question.
"Ok go ahead" he said after examining me.
My black hadn't gone away, the cut on my lip hadn't even began to heal, and the swelling didn't go away either. My mom banged me up pretty good.
I entered the main office, earning a few questioning stares from the passing counselors and Mrs. Cope the receptionist, as I made my way over to the nurse's. When I entered the health room Mrs. Smith was reading some dieting magazine. She didn't notice I entered till I walked over to her desk and politely cleared my throat. She slowly looked up from her reading. "Oh my dear!" she cried
"Don't worry Mrs. Smith I just feel down the stairs back at home." I said hoping she'd buy my story.
"Oh Bella! I really hope you grow out of this clumsiness. Remember when you fell down the stairs in school and you broke your arm. Being a klutz isn't good for you at all." Yes, she bought it!
"Yes, well I hope I grow out of this too, and soon hopefully. Anyways, I was wondering if I could go home. I really don't feel that well and I have gym next period so I don't think that's such a good idea if I stay."
"Are you sure you're ok enough to drive home?" she asked as she began to fill out the release slip.
"I'm sure I only live 5 or 10 minutes away. I'll be fine I just probably need to sleep it off." I said as I took the slip from her.
"Ok Bella but do me a favor and call the school to let me know you got home safely. I expect a call in 20 minuets from your house phone.
"Sure" I said before closing the door behind me.
The drive home was nice and peaceful. My mind drifted to thoughts of Edward and what reason did I give him to hate me. I hadn't even spoken one word to him. It's not fair of him to treat me this way. I mean come on skipping school to avoid some girl he hates.
I arrived home in a matter of minutes. I walked up the walk and noticed that the police cruiser was still missing. My parents must be having a lot of fun in Seattle. Eh, at least their still out of the house. I unlocked the door entering the quite house. I went into the kitchen to call Mrs. Smith to let her know I made it home safely. She didn't answer so I just left a message.
I got myself a glass of water and went up stairs to lie down. I must have fallen asleep because I woke up at 6 pm to someone knocking at the front door. I got up and stretched before making my way down to the front door. I peeked through the peep hole in the door. I quickly unlocked the door. "You guys what are you doing here?" I greeted them.
"Awe baby sis, is that a way to greet your guest?" Emmett said.
"Yeah, Bella, we just wanted to come and hang out. That is unless of course you're busy. We don't want to intrude." Awe Jasper…such a gentleman.
"Oh no don't worry about it I just woke up from a nap. Come inside and sit down. Did you guys want something to eat or drink?" I asked as they piled in and closed the door behind them.
"No thanks." They said in unison.
"So what did you guys want to do? There's nothing really to do at my house. Its actually pretty boring." I said.
"Don't worry Bella. We're just glad to be out of our house. Edward is…"
"SICK! Yeah, he's coughing up a storm and we don't want to catch anything" Alice said cutting off Emmett. Then both Alice and Jasper made a face at Emmett. It was more like a shut up you idiot face. I just shrugged off the gesture. Emmett is a bit…eccentric so you never really know what's going on with him.
"Oh I see, I guess he wont be coming to school for at least a few more days then huh?" my voice hid no disappointment.
"Yeah…he might not even be going to that school anymore" murmured Emmett.
"I'm sorry what?" I asked truly confused.
"Nothing, Bella, its just Emmett over exaggerating" Jasper covered up this time. Hmm…what are they hiding from me? Ah oh well its none of my business right? But if its true what Emmett said about Edward not going to school any more. Could he be dying? Is he transferring or being home schooled? Is it because of me?
"Bella? Hello!!!! Bell-AAAAHHH!" Alice sang.
"Oh, I'm sorry I zoned out again. I do that a lot" I felt the heat rising in my cheeks.
"Awe Bella you blush so easily it's so cute!" She chimed.
"So…" I began to distract them from my embarrassment. "Where's Rose?"
"She's at home working on her car. She didn't really want to go out today and felt that the garage is safer from Edward." Emmett said then laughed about something I didn't really find funny.
"Oh" was all I could really say.
Just then the door bell rang and Alice froze. Her face was completely blank. "Alice?" I called to her ignoring the door.
"Bella, don't worry she zones out sometimes, just go answer the door." Jasper said but it was like he meant something deeper.
"Oh, ok, are you sure?"
"Yes, just go answer it." With that I walked over to the front porch.
I looked out the peep hole to see who was there. I opened the door up wide I still didn't see anyone. Leaving the door wide open, I walked a few steps forward looking around. I didn't see anyone. My foot step on a piece of paper that was placed on the top step. The paper was folded up and I didn't see any writing on the front. I picked it up and looked at it for a moment. I began to unfold the paper to read what was inside. "THIS WILL TEACH YOU!" was all that was written.
Just then two head lights turned on. The car was on the road not moving. The car had tinted windows and since it was night time it made it practically impossible to see inside. I stood on the porch looking at the car. "No Bella! Come back inside!" Alice cried out.
But my brain decided otherwise. I stood still on the porch watching the car for any movement. My curiosity getting the better of me. Alice kept crying for me to come back inside. Instead I ignored her cries besides if she really needed me she would have come and grabbed me. I figured Jasper and Emmett were calming her down.
Just then the car started moving forward fast. I saw the window in the back roll down. I squinted my eyes, straining them to see what was in the window, unfortunately inside the car was dark. As the car got closer my eyes bugged out at what I saw. The barrel of a gun rested on the glass of the window half open. My body froze as the car came closer.
"BELLA MOVE!!!" Alice cried but my body didn't listen. I was like a deer caught in the head lights.
A/N man that wasn't the ending that I wanted but good enough. Hehe I love cliffies! So…what do you think? Leave me some reviews because it really does help.
REVIEW PLEASE!!!
