Thank you, Lisa and Jenn and all the readers.
Dear Diary,
I've had the weirdest week of my life, and that's saying something since I still remember the time when my mother decided to visit us with her new boyfriend, Felix, some hairy dude she met in France. In that week, I found out that my mom must have a thing for gay guys, since he was completely, absolutely and utterly gay.
How can you miss that? How is that even possible?
But, at first, I didn't notice either. He had so much hair… it was so distracting! The occasional chuckles from my father were the only thing that alerted me to the fact that something wasn't right with the guy. And my father – God knows he isn't that perceptive – found out in a two minute conversation with him.
When I had to tell my mother my suspicions – and that was the best part of the week, definitely – she feigned surprise, claiming she had no idea.
Yeah, right.
But this week was the weirdest of all weeks.
Even though I'm used to him staring at me, Edward started staring a lot more than usual. At first, it was unnerving and weird and I was so nervous, but then… I was just so excited. Everywhere I looked, there he was, watching me with a small smile on his lips, making my legs weak and the butterflies in my stomach grow bigger and bigger.
But when I actually tried to talk to him or even caught him doing it, he would run away or avoid eye contact. What's up with that? Should I understand this strange behavior?
But why should I bother, even if it's not a figment of my imagination? He's still clearly in love with Rosalie and having sex or whatever with Tanya.
On another note, Alice Cullen is a fireball. I've never had so much fun with someone. I swear, not even with my own mother. And more importantly, she gets me, which isn't something I can say for Emmett or my father, the only people I socialized with before Alice came along.
Of course, Alice is more extravagant and outgoing than what I'm used to, though I don't mind. She's like fresh air in a warm desert, and I wasn't the only one who noticed it. By the end of the first day, everyone wanted to be with Alice, inviting her to their cliques and little groups. Alice kept declining politely, though, and in a few situations, she even rolled her eyes. Like when Lauren and Jess invited her to be a cheerleader. Does that even work that way?
And until here, you can say it was a good week, not strange at all. But then comes the part where I saw Emmett and Rosalie fighting with each other near the gym. At first, I worried that she was hurt or something like that, but when I saw she was crying and pointing her finger at Emmett's chest, I started getting more and more confused.
She seemed angry with him, which I think was kind of odd. I didn't even know they socialized, let alone talked to each other enough to have anything to fight over. When you're angry with someone, that usually means you trusted them to do the right thing and they didn't, so I had no idea that Emmett and Rosalie had that kind of relationship.
But the look on my brother's face? Priceless.
He looked like his puppy was dying in front of him and he couldn't do anything about it. Strange? Yes. That's why I think there might be something between them.
Yes, Diary, call me crazy, but I think my brother has the hots for her. Again, how can I not hate her? Every man in my life seems drawn to her, and she's the center of all the attention. What about me? Why can't I get some attention?
But I decided not to make my presence known and walked quietly to the gym, wondering if I should have a conversation with Emmett.
Should I?
What would I say? "Be careful, she's a bitch"? Or even "Please be with her so I can be with Edward"? That would be insane.
So I'm staying out of it and I'll enjoy this bliss until it ends, because even though I said it was strange, I liked this week too much. I could get used to the craziness that is Alice Cullen and to the stares of her ridiculously gorgeous brother.
B.S.
