NGES OUTTAKE

CHAPTER 2


...HEIDI...

This summer is going to be different.

I will kiss Edward Cullen if it's the last thing I do. He will kiss me back and in doing so, he will start to realize there's more than one girl on this stupid island who can make him happy.

I've caught him staring at me more than once today.

Especially at lunch when Bella had been moping around like a baby with her headphones and hoodie in ninety-degree weather.

Yup.

He's noticing me more and more, and it's obvious Bella has chosen to put some space between the two of them

Or maybe it was the other way around?

Whatever the case… there's space and I plan on sliding myself right on into it one way or the other.

Ri told us all about what Alice had told her this morning.

Edward has a girlfriend now back in Chicago.

A girlfriend who is not Bella Swan.

Yes, Bella knows.

Hence the space and emo like attitude she's brought with her up to the treehouse tonight.

Once we'd gotten upstairs I'd purposely taken the spot beside Edward and sat myself down so that our bodies will actually be touching.

After sitting I notice him noticing this and I smile when he doesn't scoot over.

Bella is noticing too.

I can't help but grin a little.

Especially when I see her brows furrowed and her fists clench at her sides while she looks our way.

I glance over and see my brother also noticing Bella and her glare.

He seems to be taking mental notes himself.

This is interesting.

Come to think of it, I've noticed Ben noticing Bella quite a bit today.

Things could actually get pretty entertaining once Rose gets here.

I'm going to have to use this later when Ben starts to get on my case about Edward playing hard to get.

Luckily for Edward Cullen, Bella Swan's loss this summer will be my gain.

I couldn't care less about who was waiting for him back in Illinois.

All I care about is finally getting my turn.
