How it started

First Date

(Soffia's Pov)

Bella and I just finished our last class before lunch as we headed into the cafeteria. I glance over to the Cullens' table and wave to Alice and Jasper with a slight blush on my cheeks. I haven't told Bella about the date yet, and I'm nervous to see how she'll react.

We both take a seat at the table with Jessica, Eric, Mike, and Angela. After dropping my backpack on my lap, I start to eat my slice of pizza. "La push, baby. you guys in?" Eric asks Bella and I looking between us, giving them a weird look I keep eating. "Are we supposed to know what that means?" Bella asked, looking at them.

"La Push beach, down on the Quileute rez. We're all going after school. Big swell coming in." Mike says, They all go around saying what's there to do there. "La push, baby." Eric says again, rolling my eyes. I hear Bella say, "I'll go if you stop saying that." They all look towards me "No thanks, I'll pass, I'm busy." I say they grumble but keep talking about their plans.

Bella stands up and heads over to the salad station, groaning at the fact that she's leaving me alone with them. I take out my earbuds and play some music on my phone, and then I eat. I hear the bell through my earbuds, and I quickly take them out and throw away my tray. I quickly head to art class.

Today our projects are due, and I finally finished mine the other night. Pulling out my drawing, I set it in front of me and looked out the window, waiting for class to start. "Hey Sof!" Alice says, taking her seat next to me. Smiling, I look towards her. "Hi Alice," I respond. "So are you ready for our date tonight?" she says, wiggling her eyebrow. Blushing, I look down.

"I'm just messing with you, love," she says, chuckling, setting her hand on my knee, laughing softly. I look up at her and ask, "Do you always have to make me blush?" I ask well looking at her hand. She chuckles, and her mouth twitches into a smirk. "No, but it's cute because you blush so easily," she says softly. Groaning internally, I stick my tongue out at her and hear the bell ring.

The teacher comes around and collects our projects and tells us we will have them back soon. During class, we are to paint the fruit the teacher has put in front of the class. After class, Alice walks me to my last class of the day, she kisses me on the cheek, and tells me she and Jasper will be texting me later about our date.

I'm beyond excited I just don't know where we are going, and I still need to tell my mom, though I know she'll just be happy for me she's always told me she doesn't care who I date as long as I'm happy. Gym passes by quickly. I quickly rush to my Jeep, getting in, and drive home. Once I arrive home, I notice mom is home. Perfect, I can tell her now.

Getting out, I lock my doors and go inside. Seeing mom sitting in the living room watching TV, I walk into the room and take a seat on the couch next to her. "Hey baby, how was school?" she asks, looking away from the television to look at me. "It was good, our art projects were due today, and I got mine all done," I responded, fiddling with my fingers. "That's good, hunny," she says.

"I gotta tell you something, mom," I say softly, looking up at her she nods and gives me her full attention. "So I have a date tonight," I say softly. "With whom?" she asks, raising her eyebrows. "Alice and Jasper," I say quickly. She smiles and sets her hand on my hands, "I've seen how you looked at them the other day at the hospital, I figured you liked one of them, I didn't guess both of them, but if they make you happy then I'm happy for you, Sof," she says softly.

Smiling, I hug my mom tightly. "Thank you, mom, for everything," I say, burying my face into her shoulder. "Of course, baby, your my daughter as long as your happy I don't care," she says, kissing my head. Taking a deep breath, I pull away and smile at her. "Your the best mom, I love you," I say, kissing her cheek and standing up. "Thank you, Sof, I love you too," she responds, giving me one last smile as I head upstairs to my room.
