Chapter Three

BPOV

I check my reflection in my bike's rear view mirror, tucking a few stray hairs back into place. With a deep breath and a quick roll of my shoulders, I place my hands gingerly on the handlebars. I turn the key in the ignition and the bike starts with a gentle purr. A grin appears on my face and I rev the engine, unable to help myself.

As soon as I start moving, the familiar feeling of having wind in my face calms me. It's an unusually sunny Saturday and I make sure to take advantage of it. I ride my bike all around Forks for the entire morning, eventually making my way over to Angela's place. I park the bike on their driveway and get off, hanging my helmet on one of the handlebars.

"Bella!" Angela says with a smile when she comes out of her house.

"Hey Gorgeous," I reply with my own smile, hugging her. She was an inch or two taller than me, something I liked to tease her about.

"You were supposed to be here half an hour ago."

"I had a little too much fun with my bike," I explain, following her inside.

"Josh and Dave wouldn't stop asking where you were. I was about to tape their mouths shut."

"Aww, that's not very nice." As soon as I enter past the door, I'm attacked by her brothers, each with grins on their faces.

"Bella, Bella, Bella," Dave sings, while Josh talks faster than I can follow about an episode of Spongebob that I missed.

"Guys. Guys!" They both stop talking and look up at me. "So what's up?" I ask with a grin.

I spend the rest of the morning with them before I finally manage to get them absorbed into some cartoons and I slip away with Angela to her room.

"So what's your deal with Alice?" she asks laying on her bed with her feet propped up on my lap.

"What do you mean what's my deal?"

"Oh come on Bella, I'm not blind. You have the hots for her and it's only been, what? A couple of weeks?"

I roll my eyes. "You know you're the only one for me babes," I was stalling, and she could tell.

"I thought I was too tall for you," she counters, raising one of her eyebrows.

"Height's just a measurement baby. I'll just wear heels."

"We both know you hate heels."

"Hated heels. Get it right."

She rolls her eyes at me. "Come on B. You look like you could bite Eric's head off whenever he makes a move on her, or tries to anyway. More so with Mike. Why does it bother you so much unless you have a thing for her?"

"She's too short for me." Even I can hear the lie clear in my voice.

"I thought height was just a measurement."

"Angela," I whine, shoving her feet off my lap and moving to sit on her desk chair.

"Oh come on, it's not like I'm gonna run off to tell her."

I sigh. Angela can be really persistent when she wants to be.

"I'm honestly not sure myself. I mean, I like her a lot. Like, I'm drawn to her. But I'm not sure if she feels the same way. Plus, like you said it's only been a few weeks. That's too short to know for sure, right?"

She shrugs. "Everyone's different. Maybe you should try asking her out. You haven't been with anyone in a long time Bella, and you really should try to move on. Emily would want you to," she whispers the last part, sympathy in her eyes.

I stare at her for a while, but she doesn't back down. Eventually I sigh and look out her window, seeing clouds beginning to form in the sky. The sun never lasts long in Forks.

"I better get going, it's gonna get dark soon." She nods and gets up, following me downstairs.

We pass by her brothers who have fallen asleep on each other on the couch. I smile a bit at the sight before heading for the door.

"See you Monday," Angela says, hugging my tightly.

"Yeah," I mumble, hugging her back.

"Just think about it Bella. You two would make a cute couple," she offers with a teasing smile.

I roll my eyes. "Sure sure."

I make my way over to the bike and mount it, getting my helmet on before waving at her one more time.

On the way home, I think about what Angela said. Of course I like Alice - probably since day two of knowing her. I just don't know how to act on it I guess. She gets along with my friends pretty well, and has even begun to sit with us sometimes at lunch, so if we start going out it wouldn't make much of a difference at school.

Time seems elusive whenever I'm around her, and I don't mind. Even Charlie likes her, whenever she isn't keeping me up at odd hours of the night over the phone. Sometimes he'd come and tell me to go to sleep, but as soon as he leaves the room I just speak softer so he doesn't hear.

I decide to at least try and see if she likes me back on Monday. Truth be told, I'm not at all opposed to asking her out, I'm just nervous about her reaction. For goodness' sake, I don't even know if she swings that way.
