Thanks be to EBT.


Half an hour later, we can't find Jasper and Alice. Rosalie makes a joke about Alice cashing in her V card, and your foul mood immediately returns. Bella tries to hide her laugh as she tells you she was just kidding.

You end up walking out of the gym, needing fresh air.

Even with three people down, we're still having a blast.

But another two people leave when Ben takes my hand and asks me to join him outside.

I smile and sigh gratefully, all too happy to take my shoes off.

He makes me laugh when he takes them from my hand and dangles them on his finger.

We end up outside on our picnic table, the one where he asked me to prom and gave me a flower.
