"I CAN'T BELIEVETHAT he was a no show again," Bella groaned as she petted Duck's fur to calm down her irritation towards one particular Cullen boy. Her and Deedee were hanging out at the Xavier/Anderson residence up the Deedee's room, procrastinating on homework and tossing out theories to try and explain the Cullen Family's weirdness.
"All I got from Alice is that he's taking a break from school for his mental health," Deedee shrugged before turning around on her side to face the other teen, "After that all she talked to me about was that I was committing a fashion crime by mixing gold and silver jewelry."
Unlike her downtrodden best friend, Deedee had some luck that day with her specific Cullen. Their English teacher had been out sick and their substitute gave the students a study hall period, so there was no one to reprimand Alice if she spent those forty five minutes chastising Deedee for her lack of jewelry knowledge. The blue eyed girl didn't see an issue with pairing her silver earrings with her gold plated necklace, but she didn't want Alice to ever educate her on the lore behinds accessories ever again so maybe it was time to go shopping.
"Do you think Edward's avoiding me?" Bella asked, "I know that sounds crazy, Dee, because we've never even talked, but why just glare at me for almost an hour straight and then go missing?"
"Once I find out, Bells, you'll be first to know," Deedee smiled, "But I think that could be a reason he's gone, maybe your beauty intimidated him." That comment earned her an M&M to the face.
"You're just a real comedian, aren't you?" Bella grumbled.
"Oh yeah, here's a secret: John Mulaney actually got all his best lines from me. I'm his ghost writer," Deedee continued, snuggling into Bella's arm to further bother her friend.
"I don't know about that, I feel like John Mulaney could do an acapella version of Alice by Stevie Nicks but you couldn't do the Salt and Pepper Diner." It seemed like that got to Deedee where it hurt, because she let out a gasp and connected her pillow pet with the bookworm's face.
"You take that back right now!" she exclaimed, "You're just mad because you scare off men!"
Now, it was Bella's turn to hit Deedee with the pillow she had been laying her head on. "I do not scare off men! Y'know, Delia, at least I don't try and marry strange women I just met!" She then let out an "oomph" when Deedee struck her with her pillow pet once more.
