Betrayal

Chapter 8

CHAPTER 8

It's the first basketball game of the season tomorrow and Edward, Jasper and the rest of the team have been working really hard. Alice said she'd be happy once it's all over and they've won so she and Jasper can spend more time together. Edward have been working twice as hard since he's the captain and all so we haven't really hung out for the past two weeks. You'd think because I don't see him as often then my so called feelings for him would go away. Well you thought wrong. And no-one is more frustrated at it than me.

It's really not fair. He's got more than half of the female population from our school falling all over for him; I really don't need to add to that number! Maybe it would have been better if we didn't start all over again and into a clean slate. Who are you kidding Bella!? Alright, fine! I don't regret it but it certainly didn't do me any good even if I liked it. I mean look where it's gotten me!? Falling for Edward Cullen! Its messed up I know.

"Alice are you ready yet?" I shouted. She's still in the bathroom doing God knows what. We're going over at Rosalie's for dinner. All the guys will be there too. Coach gave them the day off to relax and rest for the game tomorrow.

"Just give me one more minute Bells!" She called out from the bathroom.

"Hurry up Al!" I'm getting quite impatient. She's been in there for about half an hour!

"Jeez Bells! Impatient much?" Finally she's out.

I rolled my eyes, "Come on. They're waiting for us"

"Eager to see someone? Maybe a certain bronze-haired boy," She said with a knowing look. I haven't told Alice anything about my 'feelings' for Edward but I told you she's kinda psychic. I know what she's trying to do and that is to get me to confess to her. Sorry Al but this time it won't work. I'll avoid it for as long as I can.

So obviously I chose to ignore what she just said, "I'm sure Jasper can't wait to see you. So let's go!"

"Alright let's go!" She suddenly became perkier. I knew mentioning Jasper's name would do the trick.

When we got to Rose's room, Jasper opened the door.

"Hey Jazz! I miss you!" Alice gave him a hug. I just rolled my eyes. It's only been an hour since they last saw each other!

"Hey I miss you too baby," Jasper said directly to Alice. "Hey Bella," He added and I just nodded at him and entered the room. Emmett was sprawled on the sofa watching television and Rose was on the kitchen.

"Hey kiddo!" Emmett said loudly. Then again when was Emmett ever been quiet?

"Oh good you're here Bella! I don't know if the roast is done or not, will you please check it? I'm really not good at cooking but I thought I'd give it a shot," Rose said. That's one of the good things about being a senior. The room they give you is like a mini apartment, complete with kitchen, bathroom and living room.

"No problem," I always cook whenever I'm back at home so I know a thing or two about cooking. "Leave it in for 5 more minutes and it'll be ready."

"Thank you Bella. It's unbelievably hard to get help around here!" She shot Emmett and Jasper a dirty look.

Jasper put both his hands up as if surrendering, "Sorry Rosalie but you know I'm not skilled when it comes to cooking. I probably would have caused more damage than actual help."

"Sorry baby but there's a game on!" Emmett said whining.

"Excuses, excuses! You two just don't want to get off your fat asses!" Rose shouted.

"Uhm where's Edward?" I asked Rose. He's nowhere to be seen.

Jasper answered, "We left together but then we saw Tanya and she demanded to talk to him alone. So I left them to it."
