Hi everyone thanks so much for the reviews and thanks to the sugestions on some new fics for me to read.

Im currently in bed sick with Covid and my gods im freezing and my head hurts so bad but i didnt want to skipp todays update. i hope its okay i cant remember if i proof read it.

The next day, I woke up and got ready for the beach trip. Packing a small first aid kit, towel, and a jacket in a bag just in case.

I pulled up to the store 5 minutes before ten.

Most everyone was there already.

Lauren and a girl from my gym class, I didn't know glared at me and whispered among themselves.

Jessica and Angela were there with Ben, Connor, Eric, Tyler, and a few kids. I didn't know most of them.

Angela and Jess walked over to me.

"Hey, Bella." Angela smiled

"Hey, look its badass B." Jess giggled.

"What?" I said as I looked at Jess, confused.

She giggled. "I heard some guys call you that."

"Oh, gods." I groaned, and my face heated up.

"It was great," Jess said.

"Guys, I didn't mean to. I just- she had been getting on my nerves. She just she." I took a deep breath I was getting worked up. " She just makes me mad. I don't like it when people talk badly about my friends. I would have done it for any of you. I don't think I've been that mad before." I said. Okay, I was when Jake kissed me and when Edward would make decisions for me and leave me out.

Jess wrapped her arm around my shoulders.

"Hey, it's okay, and that's what friends do right?"

"We fight for each other."Angela agreed with a smile.

"Yeah, we stand with each other," Jessica stated.

"Thanks, you guys."

I knew Jessica liked the attention more than me. As long as everyone talked about me, she wanted to be beside me so they would talk about her too. Angela was a real friend.

"Bella! You made it." Mike came over and had a big smile on his face as he looked to me.

I looked to see Jessica narrowing her eyes and letting go of my arm to fix her hair.

"Yup, I'm here." I said.

"So you're going to ride in my car, right? It's that or Lees moms minivan." He said with hope in his eyes.

"I can take my truck if we are full," I suggested.

"Oh no, theirs room you can have shotgun."

"Oh, sorry Mike no can do, unless Jess can too. We wanted to sit together. Right, Jess?" I said as I looked at Jessica.

I winked at her.

"Yeah, Bella and I need to sit together."

"I need her advice about next Saturday," I said.

"Advice? Um, theirs room for both of you upfront in the car," Mike said he frowned. "We are just waiting on Lee and Samantha."

Mike walked off.

"Jessica, why do you like him? I mean, that was just rude. What guy comes to a girl in front of his date and acts like that? I mean, he's disgusting." I huffed "You're too pretty and smart to put up with someone, so just dense,"

"I am right." She said, looking at me unsure.

"Duh, I mean, look at you. come on Jessica you are a teenage boy's dream and you are smart you have the highest grades in school, and you are a shoe for valedictorian, prom queen, and class president your kind and you work hard. Everyone likes you."

Jessica looked at me with a shocked expression.

"You think so?"

I took her hands. "I know so. Listen, maybe he's just really dumb and doesn't see you right in front of him. I don't know."

"You're pretty Bella everyone wants to go out with you." She sighed.

I scoffed "Yeah well I told them all. I was not interested. I made it so clear."

"Yes, why do you need my advice?"

I giggled.

" I don't really, but you know I'm going to Seattle, right?"

"Yeah, instead of the dance."

"Edward said he was going too, so we are going together."

"You have a date with Edward Cullen?' Angela asked.

I shrugged. "I'm not sure could be a friend thing." I bit my lip

They both giggled

"Bella omg you're going to be alone with Edward. That's a date no matter what." Jes stressed.

Mike then came over, and Jessica jumped in the car, and I sat beside her.

She started talking to me about Edward, and I played along.

I pretended to be nervous and unsure. explaining I didn't think it was a date.

Jessica was eating it up and was helping push it along.

Mike,was visibly upset.

I hoped he could drive with being so upset hes hands gripped the stearing will so tight they were whiter then normal.

"Well, Bella, I'm shocked that you would go out with someone when I thought you were looking for the one." Jessica said with a smile

"Yeah, that reads your mind, and you have a spark." Mike scuffed in a rude tone.

I blushed and looked out the window. Thinking of Edward and that spark the one that makes me tingle all over or that fire i get when we kiss.

"Oh, you have it bad." She laughed.

"Welcome to the club, Bella. I knew you were normal. no normal girl could resist Edward Cullen."

"Okay, he's good-looking and listens to Debussy. Can you believe it he listens to Debussy oh oh and he plays the piano,

He plays and enjoys classical music." I sighed

"I have never met someone that knew who Debussy was let alone listen to him and have a favorite song."

"Debussy?" Jessica asked.

I smiled "It's classical music."

"What a song and maybe sing a lyric?" Jessica asked."I think you mentioned this before."

I laughed "Yes I did when we first met. It's classical music there are no lyrics its a piano. My favorite is Clair De Lune. He was a composer who wrote amazing pieces and played the piano beautifully. you won't know him he composed in late 1800 he died in 1918." I said

"Omg, like old music like just piano, not lirycs, no other instruments?"

I laughed. "Yes though, sometimes he would work with some strings."

"I forgot you said you liked that kind of music," Mike said.

"Yeah."

"So, does this music bother you?" He asked as he turned up the radio it was a weird uptempo beat with snaps and clicks of the tune. I was confused on what this sone was ment to be, then someone started to sing, if that's what you called it, more like them just talking loudly.

I wrinkled my nose "No it's, not my thing. You can listen to anything you want it doesn't bother me. I just don't like it."

I also didn't see how that was music.

"Bella, this is Snoop Dogg! He's the greatest." Jessica said, looking at me with shock.

I've heard that name before my mom listened to him when she was dating some DJ, I think.

"It's not that I don't like all new music, Kelly Clarkson is good and Maroon 5, I like some of their songs."

They both looked at me like I was crazy.

I shrugged. "We all have tastes like you both would like to go out on a Saturday night hang out with friends and yes I enjoy it too from time to time but I would be happy at home with a good book."

"You would rather be home reading?" Jessica asked.

"Sometimes, if it's nice and warm out, I would set a towel or blanket out on the grass and just read while I soaked up the sun."

Jessica shook her head.

We soon got to First Beach.

I hoped he gets I'm not into him.

Once we got out of the car, I went to Jessica.

"Well Jess without knowing it you hellped me out." I smiled

"I did," She said looking unsure.

"After that conversation Mike will tell Tyler and Eric, and then all the other guys will talk and see. I'm just too boring for them, hopefully."

"No problem Bella I'll help and spread it around, too."Jessica smiled brightly.

"You're the best, Jessica." I smiled at her.

I knew she was doing it more for her than I, but it would still help.

I followed everyone to a spot who had a grill and saw some other kids from school there.

Jess and I found Angela.

I saw she was looking at Ben as he talked to Connor.

I bit my lip.

"Angela our dear friend Bella is a completely boring human being."

I giggled as Angela looked shocked.

She looked at me, and she seemed to calm.

"Sadly Ang, she is right. Im hopelessly boring." I said as I put my hand on my forehead and faked a soulful voice and act.

She giggled.

"Oh no, what can we do."

"Nothing I to be old and boring with one dog and a house full of books." I giggled

"That doesn't sound too bad." I said, looking at Jessica.

She pushed me playfully.

"Oh no, come on, Bella, be more inventive or ambitious. "

I smiled. "If I want to be ambitious, I would say." I pertended to think, taking my pointer finger, pressed it into my check, and tilted my head into it.

"I will marry Edward Cullen, go to college, become a writer while he becomes a doctor, and we adopt a kid or two." I giggled.

"Oh, Edward Cullen." Angela giggled "Bella a little smaller, maybe."

I laughed. "Nope, I'll shoot for the stars."

We all laughed.

I laughed at the fact that I was telling a bit of the truth.

I plan to Marry Edward and go to college. but I will be having a baby with him. instead of adopting.

"Hey, girls!" I looked over to see Mike and Eric waving us over.

"We walked over."I Bet you haven't seen a driftwood fire Bella." Eric said.

"Yeah, its somthing to see," Mike said.

I smiled and watched as they lit the fire. I was amazed even though I knew what it would look it was just as beautiful as if it was my first time."Wow." I said.

"Yeah, that's what I was like when I first saw it." Mike girls and I sat down on a log placed around the fire.

I was barely listening to them I was started by hands covering my eyes.

I jumped "What?!"

"Guess who." A husky voice said in my ear.

I laughed in relief."Jake that's not funny."His deep chuckle rang out.

I smiled at him not that mad."Is Quil and Embry here too?"

"Just Embry, Quil had other plans."

"Too bad." I said.

"Hey, Bella." I smiled up to Embry.

"Hey Embry let me introduce you to my friends."

."Guys, I'd like you to meet some friends of mine. Jacobeand Embry."I pointed to the boys as I introduced them.

I looked to the group and I saw Lauren and her friend looking to them both eyeing them up.

I frowned."This is Jessica, Angela, Mike, and Eric."

"Well, hello, I'm Lauren." Lauren introduced herself and moved to put herself in front of the others, and the other girl from my gym class moved up and stood in front of Embry batting her lashes.

"Im Amber. Nice to meet you."

"Um Hi."Embry looked uncomfortable then glanced at me.

I shruggled Jacob looked just as uncomfortable he was trying to get Lauren to move so he could get to me but she just kept moving in front of him, obviously didn't get he wasn't interested.

"Is something in you eyes? Is the sand blowing in them?"Embry asked.

"What?No no um."Amber seemed to be stunned as she thought on Embrys words this gave him time to get away.

"Well its nice to meet friends of Bellas."Embry said as he looked to Jessica and Angela. They seemed to be holding in laughter.

"We should go check on Seth though,right Jake?"

"Seth is here? Is leah with him?"I said and looked around the beach.

"No we brought Seth cause he over heard us at the bbq we had last weekend and asked his parents without asking us first." Jake grumbled

"He always taggs along, we wouldn't of come if leah showed."

"Hey Seths a great kid and don't say that about leah you know better, Jake."I glared.

"I didn't know you knew them or were friends with Leah."I froze then. Dang I did it again.I thought quickly.

Harry is as much My dad's best friend as Billy."

"Right."Jake said."You coming with then Bells."

"Sure."

Seth wasn't here last time but then again jake didn't know I would be here in the dream. I had invited him and his friends changing somethings. I had changed it so it wasn't exactly as I remembered but Im sure it will be fine.

Seth was shorter then I remember with more boyish looks. he still had that big smile and friendly eyes that he got from his mom.

"Seth you good kid?"Embry said as we walked up. Seth Was talking to some kids I knew Lee so the girl must be his Girlfriend Smanth. I didnt know the other girl with them.

"Yeah we were just talking movies."Seth looked to the girl that I didnt know.

"I cant wait till that movie comes out in 2 weeks." Seth said

"Yeah me too the trailers look really good and the last one was so good." She said.

"Yeah I'm planning to see it the weekend it first comes out."

"YeahI well I want to maybe i can get my parents to agree or maybe my sister will take me." The girl looked to Smantha.

"Yeah well if you get to go you well you want meet up there?" Seth said shyly.

Embry was just looking on in amazement and then got a big grin on his face.

I tried not to gush and go awe.

I was the only one that noticed the girl with Lee looked at Seth with a critical eye and Embry was looking on in shock as the girl nodded and went on to ask Seth for his older girl seemed to want to speak up she caught eyes with me and I mouthed 'Hes nice and won't be alone with her." I then signed a crossover my relaxed a bit but was still uncomfortable.

I could understand, it was her little sister and though at their age nothing should happen it didn't mean that the older sibling who knows what it's like to be on a date isn't freaking out I'm sure if she went home and told her parents they would be even more so.

"Come on Romeo we going to get food." Seth blushed as Embry and Jake grabbed him and pushed him toward where someone was making hotdogs.

I looked to the girl and Lee as the younger girl looked after Seth as he left. "hey Seths a sweet kid his sister or one of the guys will be there."

"Still, a boy shes 14 she might fall young, she wouldn't know, he could hurt her"

"His sister was shattered by a guy not too long ago. He has been helping her. He would not hurt anyone intentionally. Trust me. plus they will be just friends they are too young for anything else I'm sure your parents and his will agree." She nodded.

"yeah. Thanks um Isabella right."I cringed inside but smiled.

"Bella." I corrected.

"Your in my bio class." Lee said.

I nodded.

"Oh so did you see My Lee get sick then?" She giggled.

"No um, I get sick as well so when I learned of the lab I ditched." I smiled at Lee.

"I didn't think anyone else would be like me well Edward too but." I shrugged.

"Cullen can't handle blood?"I shrugged

"He said more he can't handle his own, everyone else's he's fine," I smirked he can handle anyone but mine.

"Well I need to get a hot dog before Jake and Embry eat them all those boys can eat more than was brought I'm sure."I laughed and waved bye.

I looked to see Embry was poking Seth and he embarrassed some would sayhis face was flushedfrom being close to the fire but I knew that the boys were most deffently teasing him.

I walked over stole a hot dog from Embrys plate.

"Hey that's mine."

"I will wither away if i don't eat and you took 4. now eat or i will take another. Just cause you don't have the skill to get a date doesn't mean you should tease Seth cause your jelauos.

"I can get a date." Embry grumbled.

"Oh with Amber yes I'm sure.will you go ask her?"He looked mortified and then took a bite of his hot dog.

"That was good Seth and remember girls like it when Boys hold doors open for them. if you act like a gentleman you'll go farther then trying to act cool. when you act cool you come off arragent and stuck up girls don't like that. shy,nice and respectful."

"Yeah okay um ill have to buy her popcorn and candyand all that too right oh man ill have to do so many choose for that." He groned "Welcome to the dating game kid all the men are broke." Jake laughed.

"Seth your young and her parents if they let her go would be giving her money so you dont have to pay tho many buy her candy. you offered to meet up not take her so she wouldn't expect you too pay for it all."

"Oh man that's right dang ill have to remember that one." Embry said"Yes boys take notes he was a pro and I'm giving advice that a girl shouldn't give to a boy so where are your notebooks?" I laughed.

"Geez Bells you didn't tell us to bring them so speak slow." Jake rest of the night was fun we talked about movies we likes and who are favored super heroes are.

I enjoyed just talking to them. Angela, Jess and Mike hadeven come over.

I liked all my friends seemed to get along.

I felt like something was missing allnight and when I got home I realized it was the Cullens It would of been perfect if they had been their.
