Witfit prompt: Bloom.


Mr. Banner pairs everyone off for a group project for one of the books we're reading, and since Bella is new and I'm the star student, he asks me to help her out and partner with her.

She's nice, so I don't have a problem. we exchange numbers and emails and promise to plan a day to get together and tackle the assignment.

At lunch, we see her walk into the cafeteria, her hair shielding her again. She hasn't made many friends yet, it seems... except for me.

"Hey, that's Bella. She's in my art class. She's super nice and an awesome artist."

My twin sister, Rose, explains as she waves to Bella, catching her attention.

There's a small smile on her face, probably relief, as she walks towards our table and sits next to Rose.

"Hey!"

"Hi again," Bella greets before looking around the table and giving a tiny wave.

"Hey, Bella," I say. She looks at me and smiles a little wider. I see her cheeks bloom pink. I wonder what her story is.

"Hi, Edward," she greets back.

"You guys already met?" Rose asks.

"Um, yeah. He's my partner in English."

"Oh, that's cool. Edward's my twin."

"Really? I've never met twins. That's cool," Bella says sweetly.

I have a feeling there's a new member of our little group of friends, and I think it's great. She's nice.
