20 : her

i was sat in a desk, in the classroom as ms. mckay talked about history. i rested my head in my hand as my other held my pencil to write down my notes.

though as she kept on talking on, my eyes became heavier and heavier. my head had dropped onto my arm and i could have fallen asleep there and then.

though i made myself wake up and shot straight up in my chair. "woah, it's okay bella," fulton commented towards me as both him and dean could see i wanted to just sleep.

ms. mckay had walked over towards luis' desk and wondered why we were all so exhausted. thankfully, she excused us for the rest of the day to rest and be ready for tomorrow.

dean had asked if i wanted to possibly do something after i slept. i told him sure, i'd just knock on his door when i was ready.

i didn't even feel like changing back into my pajamas. i just sprawled on my bed and fell asleep in the matter of seconds. exhaustion can do a lot to you.

the ringing of my telephone startled me from my nap. i looked over at the time to see it was now ten o'clock. i had slept for nearly two hours already.

i quickly sat up and pulled the phone to my ear. "hello?" i asked into the phone. "hi bella. i wanted to just check up and see how things are going."

i could tell it was maria by her voice. though i could also sense there was a tint of anger in her tone. a quizzical look appeared on my face.

"i'm okay. sorry i haven't called. coach bombay has been working our butts off." i chuckled quietly, but it was completely silent on the other line.

"sorry, i could tell you're a bit mad. did i do something?" i questioned, carefully. "oh well let's see. you made a complete fool and embarrassment of yourself on television!" she yelled into the phone, making me slightly pull it away from my ear.

"marie, you don't understand what occurred. coach bombay is the absolute devil. he doesn't even think he needs me out on-"

"i don't care what he thinks! that doesn't matter, right now. think about what you did in front of the television, which mind you is world wide." i scoffed at her words.

"i left my home town to come here and play. not sit on the bench and watch everyone else have the time of their lives." the anger was now catching up to me.

"well then maybe you aren't putting in all your effort." that had popped my bubble, completely. i hadn't even heard my door open behind me as i was yelling at marie.

dean and fulton stood there for a quick moment, but then shut the door and walked back to their room. they both felt bad for the girl, especially dean.

"i've done all that i could and this is what i get," i said angrily towards marie. "well then why would you be on the bench? i know you-" though i cut her off and shook my head at her words and huffed in annoyance.

"i'm sick of this. you trying to act like you know me, when you don't. you're not even my mom!" i shouted clearly so she could hear.

though suddenly, the line went dead on the other side. "hello?" i asked into the phone. as there was no response back, i put it back and walked over to the bathroom.

i looked at myself in the mirror. a single tear rolled down my cheek but i was quick to wipe it away. i didn't feel like going out anymore after what occurred.

i wrote a few quick words on a piece of paper and walked out of my room to dean's. i slid it under his door and walked back to my room.

i changed into sweatpants and a oversized t-shirt. i flipped through the television channels until i found an old movie i liked.

dean was sat in his room, waiting for bella to come tell them she was ready. but suddenly, a small piece of paper was slid under his door.

he walked over and picked it up to read it.

i'm not feeling to well. i think i am just going to stay in for the rest of the day. you two go have fun and i will see you tomorrow.

- bella <3

the little heart at the end made dean smile like a little kid, but his smile was wiped away when he knew why she didn't want to go out anymore.

he wanted to be able to know the girl. her little secrets she's never told anyone, her home life, why she was in love with sean connery, and everything else about her.

and for the rest of the day, he sat in his room only thinking about her.
